“But Lana won’t have to bear the responsibility. Her parents have saved a sum of money for her brother, enough to last until he graduates from university.“Her parents haven’t retired yet either and have a stable monthly income. If they save up more, it’ll be enough for him to start a family. That’s not all, either. They even said they’d sponsor the down payment for Lana if she wanted to buy a house here in Wiltspoon.“She’d have to pay the mortgage herself, of course. When she was still in school, some classmates asked Lana about this issue. Lana said that if her parents didn't have enough, then they wouldn't have dared to have a second child.“She said that it was her parents' choice and decision, and she respected their choice. Having a younger brother meant that she would have to split the inheritance with him, but it also meant that when her parents were gone, she would still have family on this earth.“Her family has also put a lot of effort into her brother’s education. They

Callum did not have any positive feelings about his mother-in-law either.He, too, had had a hand in her finally being caught by the police.They had abused Camryn for so many years. If killing someone was not against the law, he would have torn that couple to pieces.Why had Paige not fought back when she had not wanted to marry Camryn’s father? She was forced into the marriage by her parents, not her husband.So why take it out on her husband?If they loved each other so much, they could have eloped, run away, or fought to the end. Things would definitely have turned out the way they wanted somehow.However, they had not done so, and instead, they gave in to their own interests.After giving in of their own accord, they poured all their hatred onto Camryn and Abel.The father and daughter pair had been so innocent. Abel had also married Paige at his parents’ behest; the fault was not his.However, because of it, he lost his life, and his only daughter was abused by his own o

“It’s okay, I was asking too much.”Lana was a little disappointed, but she understood.If she were in Camryn’s shoes, she would refuse a complete stranger she did not know or understand who asked to visit her home, either.“Lana, are you free tonight? I’ll treat you to dinner to make it up to you.”Trenton felt guilty for not being able to fulfill Lana’s first request, so he wanted to treat her to dinner.He also wanted to test whether Lana had any feelings for him.“It was an unreasonable ask anyway. You don’t have to feel guilty or make it up to me. I’d be happy to go out to dinner with you, though. Are you picking me up later, or should I call an Uber?”Lana did not own a car. She usually took the subway to work because it was convenient and she could avoid traffic jams.Wiltspoon was a big city, and during rush hour, the traffic was absolutely terrible.Lana’s apartment was close to the subway station, so she took the subway to work, which was quick and convenient.“I’ll

[But his sister refused, and he didn't even try to speak up for me. That means I don’t mean that much to him, doesn’t it?]Lana did not feel confident.After all, Trenton kept his feelings deeply hidden, rarely letting anyone even have a peek at them.[I’m sure his sister had her reasons for refusing. After all, that’s the Yorks’ ancestral home, and the Yorks value privacy. His sister isn’t the matriarch of the household, so she can’t just agree to something like that. Besides, she doesn’t even know you, so how could she just let you visit her in-laws’ home?[Plus, you weren’t there. How do you know he didn’t try to speak up for you? Did he say anything else after telling you that?][He said he was sorry for not being able to take me to Wildridge Manor and offered to treat me to a meal.][If that’s the case, Lana, I think there’s still some hope. Don’t give up. You’ve liked him for so many years. How could you bear to give up now?[Think about it. Over the years, you’ve been the

Indeed, Clive did not know who Lana was.Stone Group was so big, and only the upper management regularly reported to Clive.Clive would not pay attention to middle management like Lana unless they had achieved particularly remarkable results.Anthony, however, was different. He had been forced to come back and help out the family business. He was not as capable as Clive was, so he preferred mixing with the middle management and the entry-level employees.He would definitely know.“You can ask whoever. She works at your family company, so just a little asking around should be able to tell me what her character’s like.“Don’t forget to sneak a candid picture of her.”Camryn wanted to know what Lana looked like so that she could see if Lana was a match for her brother.“Oh, if that’s the case, then forget it. I’ll stop by the office tomorrow and help you ask around myself.”Both her older brothers were married. If she asked Anthony to sneak a picture of a female employee, her sis
