Chapter 1298


    Seems like Stanley is at his sexual prime!


    Even if it’s only such a short period, he also made full use of it to have a quickie.


    After Stanley came out and sat on his seat, Christine sat beside him. He patted Money’s butt


    expectantly as he said, “Buck up and have a few more kids! Next year, I’ll send you an entire set of


    Pourl’s items.”


    Michael was listening to their conversation intently, but it was too noisy there, so he only heard ‘a few


    more kids’. With that, he quickly sent a message in the Fletcher Family’s group chat.


    ‘Stan is nning to have kids next year, and he even wants a few of them.’


    After he finished typing, he raised his head and looked around, but he didn’t see Sean. He already sent


    an invitation to him, but he was not here.


    In the end, Christine was the one who sat in Sean’s seat.


    Sigh! That idiot…


    After Sean has stayed around him for around 20 years, there have been no improvements whatsoever


    in their rtionship at all. Even if another 20 years passed, the situation would probably remain the


    same. It would be better for Sean to give up on him.


    …


    On the other hand, Sarah stroked the dogs as she watched the show. She already brought out both the


    huge poodles that belong to her and Sophia. The two dogs looked as huge as two weightlifters as they


    sat on the ground, and she took turns in petting them.


    Harry was also enjoying the show next to her. After a while, Betsy appeared again. She had been


    lingering around Harry all the time, but this time around, she was scared off by the two huge dogs.


    Tiffany continued to pester Cooper by lingering by his side. To an outsider, she was a sexy and


    mysterious beauty, but in front of Cooper, she was just a lowly servant who was willing to do anything


    for him.


    Cooper was very annoyed at her. The seats are limited, and her bosoms are so big! They almost need


    another seat on their own. This space is cramped enough!


    Hence, he ced Cash between him and Tiffany to make her stop sticking herself to him for a while.


    However, she continued to stay beside him, and she even threw asional nces at Anna, as if she


    was trying to show off.


    In the end, I’ll be the one who will get Cooper’s love.


    Anna is already married, yet she still wants to be his mistress! That old b*tch!


    The show was over in no time, but many people didn’t seem to want to leave, so they stayed to chat


    with the founders.


    Surrounded by a group of rich women who had dogs as pets, Sophia could only watch as Lucy left.


    After all, she herself was unable to leave.


    I was nning to discuss working together with her….


    Unexpectedly, she received Lucy’s message the next morning. “Since the fashion week ends today,


    let’s chill and rx. I’ll meet you at the same spot tonight.”


    The next evening, there were not many people in front of a little bar that was located in the suburbs. It


    was a quiet and secluded spot.


    Even though the bar looked tattered, it was well-decorated inside. No matter how daring the gangsters


    were, they wouldn’t dare to make a scene here as the ce was owned by Lucy and Dana, who lived


    close by.


    This bar had be the spot for Lucy and Sophia to asionally drink at. At this moment, Michael


    was having a staredown contest with Dana, who parked opposite to him. Parked close to each other,


    they had no other method of entertainment apart from that.


    Dana smoked a cigarette while Michael took out hisptop to y some games. Stanley’spany


    had rolled out another new game, so he took this time to y it and test it internally while waiting for


    the people in the bar to finish their meeting.


    “Cheers!”


    Two cocktail sses clinked into each other, making a crisp and clear sound.


    After both of them drank a little, they put down the sses.


    In the dark corner, the lights were beautiful yet dim, making Sophia unable to see Lucy’s expression.


    She was thinking about the ideal way to tell Lucy about teaming up to deal with Jordan.


    However, after a long time, she had no idea how to breach the topic.


    How should I put this?


    My dad and your stepmom have a fling, and he wants to kill your dad to take over all his assets. Do you


    want to join us to kill him?


    Cooper probably wouldn’t want the money from the Edwards Family, but based on Anna’s personality,


    after they killed Jordan, she would definitely make both her sons the legitimate inheritors of the


    Edwards Family and take over the Edwards Group. Meanwhile, she would also try to get rid of Lucy.


    On top of that, Sophia couldn’t guarantee what would happen if Lucy actually teamed up with Cooper.


    Perhaps Anna might kill her in the end.


    After thinking about it, Sophia still didn’t utter a word. However, she knew she must give it a try in case


    Lucy was interested.


    In the end, she would definitely speak for Lucy so that they would distribute the assets of the Edwards


    Family equally. As the first child of the family, Sophia’s words still had some weight.


    Unexpectedly, before she even started speaking, Lucy suddenly said, “I might resign and leave


    Edwards Group this year.”


    Though Sophia was shocked, she was happy to hear that, yet she quickly asked, “Why?”


    Lucy shrugged and said helplessly, “Well, you can see it yourself—with the addition of four ambitious


    brothers and the old practice of Edwards Group of passing legacies down to males… When I was the


    only child, they could only pass it to me. However, everything is different now.”


    When she was saying this, Sophia, who was sitting close to her, could feel her grievances. It was as if


    she was holding all her emotions in when she said that.


    When Lucy was in her teens, she had already started taking part in their family business. She started


    from the foundation and slowly rose through the ranks through umted hard work and effort


    before she reached her current position. The Edwards Group business grew with her and became


    better as time passed. She was one of the reasons for the sess that the Edwards Group had


    achieved today.


    However, she now had to leave just like that, while the decades of effort that she had put in were all for


    others. How would Lucy be satisfied with this?

    She took a sip of the cocktail and swallowed it along with her grievances.


    Sophia didn’t expect that Edwards Group would still practice the patriarchal culture. In fact, it was not


    just them—many traditional businesses in Cethos also retained the old traditions. Forget Cethos—even


    the Michel Family requested for women to retain theirst names if they got married, even if they were


    the top in the military, medicine, and technology industry.


    However, Sophia still felt d when she heard this news. Once Lucy left the Edwards Group, she


    wouldn’t have topete with Anna. On the other hand, Sophia also felt unfair for her to retreat from


    this feud just like this.


    “What are your future ns?” she asked.


    Lucy was slightly tipsy at this point, but she exuded a different type of attractiveness. “I don’t want to


    leave the Edwards Group, but I understand their ambitions. Rather than fighting with them formally or


    secretly, it’s better to resign and leave with the shares.” She suddenly smiled at Sophia. “I’m nning


    to be like Sam—I want to start another business from scratch myself.” She had a blissful smile as she


    looked forward to the future. “Dana and I n to get married abroad; we want to invest and migrate to


    another country. Then, we will start our business there. Dana also mentioned that she wants to expand


    Winston Corporation abroad, and I’m also nning to help her out…”


    She had never been so talkative like she was today as she talked about her future ns with Sophia.


    Initially, she had nned to officially announce her rtionship with Dana after she had stabilized the


    Edwards Family so that no one could object. However, Jordan suddenly announced that he was going


    to marry Anna. The sudden arrival of a powerful stepmother and four capable step brothers had caught


    her off guard. If she wanted to be with Dana, it would be her alone versus six of them, which would


    make it too difficult for her to fulfil her dreams.


    Apart from that, Jordan’s departure had also inspired her.


    I can leave the Edwards Family as well!


    Even though I’d have to give away my effort all these years to others, I have the money, resources, and


    connections—I have everything I need to start my own business and not be restricted by anyone else!


    I don’t want to be the sessor of the Edwards Family anymore!
