 Upon hearing the embarrassing words, the Quirk family couldn’t help but feel awkward. Nheless, they were still very much looking forward to what would unfold next.

 Could it be that tonight.

 “I was just taking a shower; that’s why it took me so long to open the door.”

 “Ah, it’s okay.” Well done. That was impressive!

 Isabe maintained herposure, straining to tear her gaze away from Alexander’s captivating figure.

 Alexander’s lips twitched. “Have you decided?”

 The Quirk family listened anxiously.

 -Sure, I have ten million now. Can you help me investi?”

 The Quirks were rendered speechless.

 Alexander nodded.

 “But I need to know, how can you be so sure that the profit is guaranteed? Investing always carries risks,” Isabe stated earnestly,

 Alexander replied, “If there’s a loss, it’s on me. I fully guarantee that your principal is safe.”

 Isabe was somewhat taken aback by this unexpected benefit.

 Alexander said straightaway. “Thank you for helping out my family again. Consider this a token of my gratitude.”

 Isabe instantly epted the credit, as she also felt that she had done them a big favor. There was no need for false modesty.

 “I’ll transfer it to youter… Hey, wait. Let’s just invest nine million instead.”

 Alexander was puzzled when he heard Isabe’s thoughts. I’ll keep a million on hand, just for emergencies.

 “Is there an option to choose monthly dividends for the investment?” Isabe asked again.

 This way I’ll have a steady ie and can leave aid–back lifestyle.

 Alexander slightly furrowed his brow. “If you need money, just swipe your card.”

 “I know,” Isabe said with augh, “but is it wrong for me to want to celebrate my profit every month?”

 Not! That card is under your name, and your favorite punishment for me is freezing it. I wouldn’t want to risk being left penniless when you freeze my card for offending you one day.

 Isabe’sck of emotional security triggered a flicker in Alexander’s gaze.

 “Alright, I understand. I remember the final payment for yourst job has already been transferred. You should receive it by tomorrow, It amounts to approximately one million. So, let’s consider the total investment to be ten million still, shall we?”

 “What? Really? Wasn’t I just a nobody who could only get by through advertisements? Could the payment really be that high?” Isabe was taken aback, and she didn’t recall much. Could it be because the original owner wasn’t paying attention, so I remembered it wrong?

 “This one’s higher than usual. Alexander casually fibbed, and Isabe believed him. Her joyfulughter subsequently echoed in his mind.

 The trio who had been eavesdropping exchanged nces, sympathizing with Isabe. They believed that all her worries stemmed from Alexander’s failure to provide Isabe with a sense of security.

 Fine, in the future, we’ll just give Isabe more mary gift to increase her sense of security.

 Suddenly, Alexander felt a chill down his spine, sensing some sort of impending danger. After a moment of thought, he suggested. “If you have any extra money in the future, you can continue to give it to me. I’ll help you add it to your investment.”

 Alexander, you really are… apart from not sharing my bed, you’re perfect!

 Alexander was at a loss for words.

 Apart from not sharing her bed? The trio who were eavesdropping gestured to each other.

 If only I could sleep with him just once.

 Alexander suddenly felt his ears burn. His previously shocked gaze could no longer focus on Isabe’s face.

 The trio who were eavesdropping rooted for Isabe in their hearts, reasoning that since Alexander could hear thetter, perhaps Be’s straightforwardness could give her a shot.

 Come to think of it, I wonder if any woman has ever managed to win him over… I am certain I haven’t!

 With that, Alexander wondered anxiously if she was about to spill some secrets again.

 The trio who were eavesdropping wore expressions of helplessness. Back when the incident first urred, they themselves were not certain of the truth. It was only because many people had found out that they had no choice but to make Alexander take responsibility.

 Seriously? Is this for real?

 The eavesdropping trio wondered why Isab was so surprised.

 Alexander suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

 Surprisingly, Alexander is still a virgin. Wow, what a shocker

 Alexander’s mind was blown.

 The eavesdropping trio thought to themselves, What do you mean a virgin? Alexander has had girlfriends, been married, and phndered with socialites and celebrities. Yet he’s still a virgin?

 Hahaha!

 Alexander’s gaze narrowed, his face beginning to flush uncontrobly. All he could do was re at Isabe.

 What’s so funny! This is too much!

 Not only was Isabeughing excessively to herself, but her face was also on the verge of contorting from holding back herughter.

 Moreover… Alexander’s sharp gaze instantly Swept toward the room at the far end of the corridor. It seemed like he had also heard a few muffled chuckles from there.

 Thus, the trio of eavesdroppers immediately moved away from the crack in the door.

 After all, they were in the wrong for eavesdropping. This was a family’s private affair which they had no intention of listening in. It was purely idental on their part

 After a few seconds of looking around awkwardly, the three of them couldn’t resist being busybodies. As soon as they looked over, they saw Alexander pulling Isabe into the room amidst a chorus ofughter.

 Is something exciting going to happen?

 They hastily huddled around the door gap, but with the door now closed, it became incredibly difficult to hear the whispers of Isabe’s heart.

 At this moment, Isabe’s inner voice had momentarily ceased, leaving only the sound of her startled heartbeat.

 She looked at Alexander in surprise after he had pulled her into the room. “What are you doing?”

 Unable to hear the annoyingughter anymore, Alexander finally regained hisposure. With a hint of resentment, he cast a nce at Isabe

 He quickly found an excuse. “I’m writing you a power of attorney agreement.”

 Though Isabe found it somewhat baffling, she was quite pleased with Alexander’s efficiency in settling matters rted to the investment.

 However, Alexander was far from satisfied. Even though he had managed to prevent Isabe from revealing his secret, he couldn’t help but be annoyed by the constant chatter in his car.

 Despite his best efforts, he was unable to prevent it. All he could do was blush fervently as he hastily drew. out the agreement.

 It is truly hard to believe that someone as sessful as Alexander is still a virgin. Even if he is a chaste person, sleeping with his first love should be considered innocent, shouldn’t it Could it be that he can’t get it up? Probably not, as he has right–pack abs!

 With a swift thud, the printed agreementnded on the table, halting Isabe’s unashamedly outrageous train of thought.

 Isabe was so engrossed in the agreement he had writen that she failed to notice the grim expression on Alexander’s face.

 With the agreement in hand, she left cheerfully. She slept soundly until the sun was shining brightly the next day, only to be awakened by the notification of the final payment being deposited into her ount,

 Indeed, there was a million.

 Upon descending the stairs, she saw Selena and Evian engaged in conversation with Cahan. Hearing themotion, they all looked up.

 “You’re finally up!” Selena remarked with a warm smile.

 Isabe felt a bit awkward. It seemed like the original owner rarely overslept. “I was a bit tired yesterday, so I woke upte.

 The expressions on the faces of Selena and Evian wereplex. Originally, when Isabe woke upte. they could let their imaginations run wild.

 However, during breakfast, when Selena subtly suggested preparing some nourishing food for Isabe, Alexander’s face darkened as he indicated it wasn’t necessary.

 From that, they knew the couple didn’t sleep with each other, which was truly unfortunate. Isabe’ste rise had absolutely nothing to do with Alexander.

 Observing the expressions of those around her, Isabe pondered, as I being rude when I overslept?

 Regaining herposure, Selena chuckled. “Sleep as long as you need to. If you’re tired, get some extra rest. After all, young people like you have different routines from us.”

 With augh, Evian also chimed in. “In the past, I also used to wake up quitete too”

 Upon hearing this, Cahan, who was next to Evian. curiously looked at his mother. After all, when he woke up this morning, he had seen his mother by his side, seemingly awake for quite some time already

 Upon noticing her son’s gaze. Evian suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said in a soft voice, “But I don’t

 As Evian’s words were intended tofort Isabe, the </btter was well aware of the goodwill shown.

 After descending the stairs, Selena instructed the maid to prepare a light snack for Isabe to tide her over, as they were all going to have lunch together soon.

 “Today, both David and Alexander won’t being back for lunch, so it’ll just be us apanying Cal.” Selena said with a smile.

 Alexander rarely came home for lunch, let alone the fact that there was still work to be done rted to Hannah’s situation from the day before.

 At the same time, David had stepped out personally. Given how rare this was, it was clear that he intended to personally handle matters concerning the Lawson family.

 Thus, Isabe went straight over and sat down on the couch.

 “Hello, Aunt Isabe, Cahan greeted politely, his eyes still held a hint of unease.

 couldn’t shake off his nervousness.

 After all, they were rtives who had been apart for nine years and still needed time to adjust.

 Both Selena and Evian noticed Cahan’s awkwardness, yet they were at a loss for a better solution. All they could do was to approach with care and caution. However, they couldn’t help but harbor resentment toward Jasper and Sienna, as well as regret for the initial assumptions they had made.

 Under such circumstances, the atmosphere easily became awkward.

 Isabe’s eyes shifted.

 I got it. Cahan enjoys ying with Rubik’s cubes, Legos, and model kits. However, aside from the Rubik’s cube, he has only ever tried the others in the store, as Sienna had deemed them too expensive to purchase. It was hardly a matter of cost, but rather Sienna’s reluctance to spend an extra dime on Cahan.

 The faces of Selena and Evian instantly froze. Just a moment ago, when they had asked Cahan, he had simply replied that he liked Rubik’s cubes

 They presumed that he was being modest when he refrained from discussing expensive toys.)

 This made the two of them feel even more heartbroken.

 Before Isabe could even find a reason to tell them, Selena and Evian seamlessly steered the conversation toward Cahan and their younger brother, Christopher. They subtly brought up how all the Quirk siblings had a fondness for Lego and model kits, mentioning that there was a whole collection of them stored in their house.

 “Cal, do you know how to y with them? Would you like to…

 “I do. I like them,” Cahan responded immediately.

 It wasn’t just because he genuinely liked them, but more so due to a shared connection with the Quirk family, which gave him more confidence.

 Of course, what Selena and Evian said was true–there were indeed many toys in the storeroom. However, they wished they couldpensate Cahan tenfold for the lost time of nine years. Therefore, they not only allowed Cahan to choose from the items in the storeroom but also had a great number of new toys delivered

 When evening fell, David and Alexander returned home, only to be cheerfully ushered by the butler into an empty room on the first floor. Inside, a sprawling set of Lego blocks filled the space. Three women and a boy were seated on the floor, thoroughly engrossed in y.

 That sight brought a wave of warmth to the hearts of the father and son, who had been weary from a full day’s work.

 After dinner, both David and Alexander joined them.

 A weekter, the dust finally settled on many matters.

 David handled everything efficiently–from the divorce proceedings to reporting to the authorities and filingwsuits. He had it all under control.

 The private hospital owned by the Lawson family went under, leaving Jasper burdened with a massive debt. His only option was to dere bankruptcy.

 David would not grant any member of the Lawson family another opportunity to see Evian and Cahan again.

 Jasper and Sienna were both facing imprisonment. However, upon discovering that Sienna was pregnant, Jasper for once, manned up. He took all the me upon himself, ensuring Sienna could be released. without any charges.

 However, Sienna was not moved by his sacrifice. She wasn’t sure if it was because she had lost hope for the future, or because she felt Jasper had deceived her. As Pa didn’t keep a close eye on her, Joanne ended up losing the child and then vanished without a trace.

 In the end. in the face of disaster, all of them only care about themselves. Upon learning of the situation. Jasper went amok in prison, which only served to lengthen his sentence.

 Soon after that, Cahan transferred schools and started afresh,

 Before that, the Quirk family had organized a wee party to celebrate their reunion with Cahan.

 Upon reviewing the guest list for the banquet, Isabe expressed regret.

 I only know the name but not the face. Otherwise. I can check in advance if there is any juicy gossip to feast on Typically, high society is teeming with drama.

 The Quirk family, engrossed in discussing a list on the couch, suddenly found their attention pulled away. It couldn’t be helped, for no one could resist eavesdropping on gossip.

 Recently, quite a few interesting events had unfolded around Isabe. She even discovered the secret crush the butler harbored for the housekeeper. Every day, they would quietly revel in the budding romance between the two.

 By the way, will Christopher be able to make it? Didn’t they say previously that he is filming in some remote mountainous area with no signal?” asked David

 The third child of the Quirk family, Christopher, was one of the most popr actors in the entertainment industry.

 Alexander said. “I received a message from Chris. He just got out and assured me he’lle back. He also mentioned he has something important to discuss.”

 As these words were spoken, everyone in the Quirk family fell silent, their expressions subtly shifting.

 Curious, Isabe nced around the crowd, unable to resist activating Gossip System.

 So that’s what’s going on. Christopher wants to change the betrothal agreement. It seems vaguely familiar. He is

 currently engaged to the eldest daughter of the Cowell family, Luna, but he has always been fond of the younger daughter, Bianca. It seems that Luna has a rather poor reputation, while Bianca is praised by everyone she meets.

 When the Quirk family heard this, they were not surprised at all. Over the years. Christopher’s behavior had been clear enough. They, as a family, did not oppose their children choosing to love freely. Their only concern was that Christopher’s impetuous temper might make the situation awkward.

 Since Isabe had confirmed that Christopher truly intended to change the engagement upon his return, they decided to discuss an appropriate course of action together once he was back.

 As everyone was deep in thought, they heard Isabe let out a sigh.

 Love is an unpredictable thing. When Christopher was a child, he nearly died. It was Luna who saved his life. Yet, ironically, he ended up falling for her younger sister instead of her.

 Everyone in the Quirk family was shocked.

 Hold on, what did we just hear? Wasn’t it Bianca who saved Christopher when he was just a child?
