Chapter 769
Xara was Lord Fenderson’s most promising daughter and also the second most prominent figure within the Fenderson family. In fact, her position was even more important compared to Jasmine’s father. Knowing that alone painted a clear picture of how witty and intelligent Xara was as a person. Adding that to her superior intuition, Xara was certain that her father had been the one who had kidnapped Queta, even though she had no idea how he had found her in the first place. “I know the Fendersons very well, Gerald. While several complicated internal matters happen within the family, if my father was the one who had kidnapped Queta, then I can rest assured that he won’t make things difficult for her. The problem is, I can’t say the same about the rest of the Fenderson family members…” “Hahaha! Still… To think that all this stemmed from a fit I threw at him so many years ago! Though I’m sure he regrets it, his temper clearly hasn’t changed at all! Is he honestly still expecting me to

“This girl… She’s as stubborn as her mother! Hmm… Hasn’t Jasmine already located Xenia? That personal maid of Xara’s? Try getting her to persuade Queta. Also, nobody should be allowed to know about Queta being here, not even Jasmine! If word gets out, I’ll be sure to make each of you suffer a slow death! Now leave!” Hearing that, the doctors trembled in fear before leaving quickly. Once they were gone, Bryson slowly stood up with his walking cane in hand before staring blankly at the wall. While lots of things were on his mind, the memory that stood out the most was the time when he had publicly severed relationships with his beloved daughter, Xara. He had chased her out of the Fendersons family, and though he had been extremely stringent when it came to enforcing family rules, he regretted his actions immediately the moment she left. He had tried every possible way to locate Xara. It wasn’t a requirement of his for her to return to his side, but he simply wanted to know whet

“Third young lady, you really aren’t allowed to enter! The order had specifically been issued by the old master!” said a bodyguard, desperately trying to prevent a girl—who looked to be around twenty—from entering. “Well that’s just great then! Are you telling me that there’s now a place within the Fenderson mansion where I, Quincy Fenderson, can’t enter? Both my elder sister and second sister already dislike me. Are you saying that grandpa doesn’t like me either now? The more you prevent me from entering, the more I want to enter and have a look for myself! Now get out of the way!” shouted Quincy as she pushed the bodyguard aside and rushed inside. The inside of the room looked extremely luxurious, and antique furniture—seemingly in the style of 1960’s European aristocrats—was placed in every corner. Apart from her grandfather’s room, this was the only other room that was this luxurious in the entire mansion. Whenever she had nothing better to do, Quincy would often come to thi

Even from when she was still a child, Jasmine had always hated having superficial knowledge, regardless of the topic. Because of that, she had initially planned to enter her aunt’s room to try looking for new leads together with Mindy. Her bumping into Quincy there was no mere coincidence. Now knowing that someone had moved into that room, her curiosity was piqued. Who could have been entitled enough to be permitted to stay there?“Why don’t we sneak in and have a look inside the room, Jasmine?” suggested Mindy, now getting increasingly curious as well. “Don’t be rash. For now, we should leave first. It’s grandpa’s birthday banquet soon and I don’t want to anger him at a time like this!” replied Jasmine as she started walking away. Though she said that, she was honestly even more curious than Mindy was. Around two days later… “Did you get all the materials I told you to? Please double check again later. We can’t afford to have any of the materials absent since we’ll be using

The person in question was Alice! He hadn’t met her in such a long time. After all that had happened, Gerald had heard that Alice had gone to Northbay. Since she was from the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting, it was only natural for her to get her internship there. However, he truly hadn’t expected to bump into her here! “Speaking of which, could you clean up the things on the floor while you’re at it? Thank you!” said the other girl without even bothering to turn back to look at him. “Will do!” Xara had made all the arrangements yet for some reason, both Drake and Tyson were left idle whereas Gerald was designated the role of a handyman who had to do all sorts of odd chores! Was it simply his fate to run errands? Regardless, it didn’t really matter too much to Gerald since he was already used to it. “Consider this to be a little vacation from all your troubles and frustrations, Alice. After all, you’ve finally managed to leave Mayberry, the place where you had ex
Chapter 774
To a girl with such a massive ego as Alice, that had undoubtedly been a huge blow to her. Gerald simply couldn’t ignore the fact that he was truly the one at fault that time. Shaking his head, he then headed out to get the two bottles of red wine they had requested. To his surprise, once both of them got their drinks and started downing the wine, Hillary told Gerald to help them pack their suitcases as well. It was as though he personally worked for them or something. Fortunately, Alice had other things on her mind so her eyes never really focused on him. By the time he was done packing everything for them, both bottles of red wine were now empty. Though Alice was clearly tipsy at this point, she still insisted on having more wine. Gerald had no choice but to heed her orders. Just as Gerald was finally prepared to leave, however, Alice started retching before flopping to the floor! She had obviously drunk far too much, far too quickly. Hillary herself had already retire
Chapter 775
It was early the next morning when Alice finally woke up. Though she had drunk a lot of red wine the night before, her heart was throbbing instead of her head. Shaking it off, she took in a deep breath as she attempted to sit up. Before she could do so, however, she immediately sensed that something was wrong. Pulling her blanket to the side, she instantly shouted, startled by what she was seeing! “Hillary! Hillary!” “What’s wrong, Alice…?” replied Hillary rather groggily, awoken by Alice’s shouting. “I was wearing my other set of clothes when we were drinking last night, right? Look! Why am I in my pajamas now? Were you the one who slipped them on me?” asked Alice. “…No, I don’t think so… I was out cold after drinking so much last night… Are you still half-awake…? Who else could’ve slipped you into your pajam- …Hold on, if someone else really did help you change, then they’d have to remove all your previous clothes first, right?” said Hillary, now starting to feel nervous
Chapter 776
Naturally, Noah never had the audacity or courage to ask the Fendersons about things regarding his son’s marriage. After all, the Fendersons were still the Schuyler’s main affiliate family. However, since such a massive event was taking place today, Noah took the initiative to finally ask about it, just to see how the old master would reply. In response, Bryson frowned. With a wry smile on his face, he then said, “Are you proposing a marriage between Jasmine and Yael?” “Well, I’m afraid that it all boils down to what Jasmine has to say about the matter. After all, marriage is the personal affair of young people! You should allow the younger generation to deal with this matter on their own!” Hearing this made Noah slightly upset, as he knew that his proposal had just been indirectly denied. After all, Bryson’s granddaughter clearly didn’t have any interest in Yael at all. “As parents, we’re naturally our children’s matchmakers. Lord Fenderson, I truly believe that as long as y
