Chapter 1089


    Anne figured that they weren’t on her level. While she made her way toward her grandfather due to


    Sandra’s provocation, she bore in mind that she would never marry Linus. Despite his good looks, the


    knowledge of him being a lowly b*stard son made her sick.


    However, she recalled something that made her stop in her tracks before she got to Louis. In front of her,


    Louis was enamored of Linus, seeing thetter as a cut above the rest. “Come, consider this a


    competition!” Louis invited Linus to join him.


    On the other hand, Linus was also honored to be given the chance topete against someone of


    Louis’ magnitude, so he replied politely, “If that’s the case, please bear with me.” Dipping his brush in ink,


    he wrote down a few words on the paper in a flurry of movement that said: ‘The supreme good is like


    water, which benefits all of creation without trying topete with it.’


    Uponying eyes on what he wrote, Louis was both shocked and astonished as he pped his hands.


    “This is incredible!” He never expected a foreigner like Linus to be able to produce such exquisite


    calligraphic work. Besides, Linus’ brush work was a direct portrayal of how extraordinary he was. Not


    only was he a noble person, but his calligraphic work also looked gorgeous.


    The crowd gave Linus a round of apuse too, as it was rare for a foreigner to be able to speak so


    fluidly in theirnguage, say less of being able to produce such exquisite calligraphic work. Meanwhile,


    Louis was nodding his head while checking out the work Linus produced. This is great! I must try to get


    him to marry Anne!


    From afar, Anne was watching begrudgingly as Sophia and her family were having a nice time with


    Louis. Those bunch of degenerates are just crazy for riches! They are being delusional for thinking that


    they might be able to enjoy the riches of the Osbornes just by getting on my grandfather’s good side!


    “Look! That scumbag is so eagerly showing off his skills to your grandfather! You should hurry up and tell


    your grandfather the truth!” Sandra was relentless in her provocation, as she was afraid that the senile


    fool might end up epting Linus as one of the Osbornes. Xena was Louis’ only daughter, who gave


    birth to Anne, who was also an only daughter.


    Marrying Anne meant that one would be able to get their hands on all of Louis’ riches, as well as all that


    he represented, so Sandra wanted to prevent Linus from marrying Anne at all costs. She already sent


    out a few men in an attempt to seduce Anne as she didn’t want to hand her over to Linus and Sophia.


    Meanwhile, Louis was scanning his surroundings in search of Anne. He needed Anne in order to secure


    Linus’ hand, as he liked the man a lot. He managed to uncover a lot of information regarding Linus. Not


    only was he the uncle of Michael Fletcher, who happened to be Louis’ idol, but from the looks of him,


    Louis determined he was also a noble andpassionate man. If Anne was toote to the game,


    someone else might snatch him away for good. Besides, judging from the delighted expression on both


    of their faces when they conversed, Louis surmised that there had to be something going on between


    them.


    However, Anne was hiding from him in the meantime, which confused Sandra. Although Sandra tried to


    urge Anne to expose Linus, Anne refused. “Now isn’t the time as I need to hide. I will have my mother


    and aunt do it instead when theye overter. My grandfather is on cloud nine now, so he might


    prohibit me from reiming my surname in the future if I disobey him in public.”


    Sandra figured she was right, as Louis was a calligrapher after all. Even if he got to dine with the


    president, and the president hung one of his paintings in his office, Louis still didn’t hold much power, nor


    was he rich. The nobility of the Osbornesy with their original family name, as Osborne was the name


    that they took onter in time. If Anne was able to reim her original surname, she would be able to rise


    to the top of the ranks of society, but she had to have Louis’ consent to be able to do so.


    In the meantime, Louis was absolutely enamored for both Sophia and Linus, which far exceeded his love


    for Michael, whereas Carmen was on another level of her own. What an outstanding pigeon pair! He


    liked all of them, so much so that he had the urge to forge marital ties with their family right on the spot.

    Meanwhile, Sophia was searching for Cooper while Linus and Louis were talking about one of Louis’


    artwork. However, Cooper was nowhere to be found. Last seen admiring Louis’ works alongside Linus,


    she didn’t know where he went after that. Having been a fan of Louis’ for years, the exhibition was a


    prime asion to introduce Cooper to Louis. Knowing that Cooper wouldn’t get a second chance like


    that, Sophia excused herself to go on a search for him.


    Although the venue wasn’t huge by any measure, Cooper was nowhere in sight, so Sophia figured he


    might’ve gone to the lounge next door. However, Sophia was intercepted by Anne while on her way to


    the lounge area after exiting the venue.


    Anne was practically shrieking in her face. “You and your brother should stop being delusional! I will


    never marry your brother! Scum like him doesn’t deserve me, so tell him to give up on his tricks! Even if


    my grandfather likes him, marriage won’t be possible if he doesn’t have my parents’ consent! We’re free


    to love anybody we choose to, so don’t assume that you guys have a chance by getting on my


    grandfather’s good side! I have a long line of suitors, and your brother is but a lowly scum that I won’t


    even spare a nce at!”


    Upon noticing Anne’s confrontational and grim attitude, Sophia was startled, as she remembered it was


    Anne who initiated contact with Linus. Following that, she examined Anne from head to toe, taking in the


    eye-catching style of her clothing. It consisted of a tailor-made x dress that gave off an artistic air, while


    her waist-length hair and fairplexion made her look almost otherworldly.


    ncing at Sandra, who was watching expectantly from the sidelines, Sophia quickly figured out that


    Sandra must’ve badmouthed Linus in front of Anne. It had its own merits, as it would prevent Anne from


    getting any closer to Linus. Therefore, Sophia put on her brightest smile while agreeing to everything that


    Anne said. “Yes, that is true. My brother is not only a scum, but a bisexual too. He likes men, so you’re


    way out of his league. Yes, you have a long line of suitors, so he wouldn’t have a chance even if he


    wants to date you, as he’ll never get his turn. My family is neither rich nor famous, and my husband’s


    career is dwindling, so we wouldn’t even dream of getting our hands onto your family’s riches.”


    However, Anne didn’t seem to appreciate Sophia’s words, as she snorted beforeshing out. “Did you


    think I have no idea what you have in mind? Don’t even think about it, you sinner! I am of noble birth, so


    your brother can’t even remotelypare to me!” Mention of her nobility caused her to stand proud while


    exuding an air of superiority. “I’ll tell you that I am—”


    As if being reminded of something, Anne hurriedly covered her mouth, but she maintained her prideful


    smile. “I can’t tell you now, but you’ll know when the timees.” Having said that, she turned to leave,


    feeling all ostentatious while calling out to Sandra. “Sandra, let’s go! I’ll introduce you to my cousin!”


    That was the moment Sandra was waiting for, so she went after Anne delightfully. Left behind in


    confusion, Sophia thought, That nutjob! Even Sean would look better than her if he wore a wig! What the


    heck is she so proud of? Linus wouldn’t even spare her a nce!
