Chapter 71
Five nunutester, as Sherri was heading towards the entrance, she coincidentally bumped into Kyle,
who was about to enter the room
“Miss Landor, Kyle greeted politely
Sherri was well-acquainted with Kyle, Edward’s assistant. He was frequently seen at various events,
and Edward often brought him home In recent years, Kyle had also been apanying Edward on
overseas trips.
“Kyle, long time no see. You’ve grown taller, Sherri weed.
Kyle responded with a serious tone, “Miss Landor, I have already undergone puberty, so there won’t be
any further growth”
“Ah, is that so? I thought men would have a second growth spurt like women. But I forgot that men
can’t experience the miracle of childbirth Sherriughed.
Kyle remained silent, unable toe up with a response to Sherri’s remark.
Sherri entered the room, herughter still lingering, and pushed open the door. “Edward, I’ve ordered a
lot of food for you to enjoy. Huh! Why are you sitting next to Natalie now?” she eximed.

Edward gestured to Kyle and said, “Kyle, have a seat.”
As Kyle approached his seat, he nced at the pizza, his gaze filled with mixed emotions. He thought,
“Is Mr. Landor postponing the meeting to join thesedies and indulge in their leftovers? He seems to
be thoroughly enjoying himself!”
Noticing Kyle’s fixed gaze on the pizza, Natalie became aware of his difort. Without uttering a
word, she swiftly stood up and exited the room.
Edward stopped eating and quickly grasped the situation, and a subtle smile formed on his lips, hinting
at his understanding.
Observing his boss’s redirected gaze toward the doorway, Kyle seemed to haveprehended the
situation and gleaned some understanding from it.
Shortly after, Natalie entered the room apanied by two servers. One of the servers carried a
steaming fresh pot base while the other swiftly reced the old one on the table
Edward observed the situation but did not intervene, understanding Natalie’s intention,
The door remained open as two servers needed to move in and out to rece the pot of soup base.
Sherri and Kyle instinctively moved to the corner, creating more space for their movement.
However, unbeknownst to them, Mia and her close friend happened to be passing by and caught a
glimpse of the scene through the partially open door. In that brief moment, they managed to capture a
photo.
With a mischievous grin, Mia could not resist the temptation. She swiftly edited the photo, adding
provocative captions that insinuated a scandalous rtionship before sending the manipted image
to the same group of journalists as before. Afterward, she casually returned her phone to her bag,
satisfied with her devious act.
Curiosity piqued, Mia’s friend could not help but ask, “Who is that woman? Why is she dining with Mr.
Landor? Do you think she’s his girlfriend?”
Mia calmly replied, “I’m not sure. Maybe she is. I sent a photo to check”
Of course, Mia had sent the photo to Trevon. It was known within industry circles that Trevon and Mia
had a history together.
However, due to the influence of the Wilson family, people were hesitant to discuss it openly.
Nheless, some believed Mia was the central figure in this situation and were eager to gain her
favor.
Mia’s friend smiled warmly and affectionately held her hand, expressing admiration, “Mia, your
rtionship with Mr. Wilson is remarkable. Unlike us, who can only dream of meeting him in person, I
envy your bond. You both are incredibly talented and make a beautiful couple.”
Mia blushed, her cheeks turning a shade of pink, and she gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
“Oh, it’s not like that. He’s incredibly busy with work, but he treats me well. If you’re interested in
meeting him, I can certainly ask him about his avability and introduce you.”
The two girls’ faces lit up with excitement and gratitude, and Mia’s friend expressed, “Oh, Mia, you’re
so kind! If manages to coborate with the Wilson Group in the future, I will always remember and
appreciate your help.
my family
Then, the group entered the private room with excitement and anticipation.
Mia received a message on her phone from the reporter. It said, “Miss Mia, I can’t take on this
assignment. After that trending topic incidentst time, my boss scolded me, and I got my sry
deducted for a month. I can’t cover entertainment news anymore. I’m stuck doing odd jobs in the office.
Please find someone else for this.”
Upon reading the message, Mia could not help but feel a deep disdain towards the reporter,
considering their inability to
handle the assignment utterly useless.
Without wasting a moment, Mia swiftly forwarded the photo directly to Trevon.
She did not believe that someone as prominent as Trevon would allow himself to be overshadowed by
such a cheating scandal
After sending the message, she felt a sense of relief coursing through her body.
Unaware of being photographed, Natalie conversed pleasantly with Edward, discussing her ns to
study abroad. Edward attentively advised her on various matters to consider when going abroad.
Sherri could not help but interject, ‘Edward, you’re quite the chatterbox. Natalie might be feeling
overwhelmed with all your advice She still has over a month before she goes abroad”
Natalie quickly rified, “No, Edward, I appreciate your advice, and I’m taking it all in. I’ll contact you if I
have any further questions or concerns.”
Without diverting his attention from Natalie, Edward continued, “Hmmm, the training center for your
study abroad program is actually located in Sapphire City, which is in Azurnd. It’s a country
renowned for its advanced medical facilities. You’ll undoubtedly benefit greatly from studying there.”
Sitting across from them. Kyle finally grasped the situation. He pondered to himself, “So, the reason Mr.
Landor had me conduct an extensive investigation on potential talent a few days ago was for Miss
Foster. He emphasized the need for thoroughness as if he wanted to know every detail about her
training and background”
He had pulled two consecutive all-nighters, tirelessly digging for every bit of information on the owner of
the training school. However, despite his efforts, he could only gather surface-level details and nothing
more substantial.
Laughter and joy resonated throughout the private room, with Sherri’s infectionsughter ringing the
loudest.
Two hourster, Edward rose from his seat and assisted Natalie in putting on her coat. “Make sure to
luge, he advised.
“Thank you,” Natalie replied
Sherri could not help but blurt out. “Edward, you’re such a thoughtful person. It would be great if you
and Natalie were together”
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense as everyone felt the weight of unspoken
truths hanging in the air Some things are better left unsaid, even though everyone silently
acknowledged them.
It was undeniable that in ordinary circumstances, suchments might not have caused much
concern. However, with an outsider present, there was a potential risk of things bing awkward and
ufortable for everyone involved. Natalie, sensing the awkward atmosphere, yfully scolded her
friend in an attempt to lighten the mood. “What are you thinking Edward is like a brother to me You’re
jeopardizing your position as my best friend, you know!”
Sherri yfully retorted. Hmph, if you dare, you should ask my mom to be your godmother!”
Sherri’s mother is not someone that just anyone can handle. It takes a certain level of skill to deal with
her. One must have a thick skin and a stable mindset, otherwise, one would be constantly
overwhelmed.
Natalie found Mrs Landor to be friendly and weing, although her persistent nagging can be
overwhelming “Auntie is quite nice, but I don’t necessarily have to address her as godmother,” Natalie
retorted.
Upon hearing this, Sherriughed. “Haha, you see, you’re afraid to do it.”
“Sherri. that’s enough,” Edward sternly warned.
Afraid of getting into trouble, Sherri quickly pulled Natalie and rushed out of the private room. “Edward,
I’ll take Natalie home. Goodbye!”
Then, they swiftly disappeared from sight.
Edward’s eyes, dark and intense, remained fixed on the receding figures of the two individuals. He
remained silent, motionless, lost in his thoughts for a moment.
“Do you like her? Kyle asked bluntly.
Edward did not hide his emotions and replied, “She is still young. Let’s not scare her or bring it up in
front of her.”
Kyle reminded him, “Don’t let the opportunity slip away.”
“I won’t”
Sherri, who had made a quick getaway, sat in the driver’s seat, still trembling with fear. She ced her
hand on her chest and murmured. “That was too close. The look on my brother’s face. I thought he was
about to unleash his wrath upon me.”
“You need to learn to control your words. Making jokes about everything, how can you expert Edward
not to be angry? Besides, there were other people around as well,’ Natalie scolded
Sherri let out a long breath, relieved that she had narrowly escaped. “I think my brother probably has a
girlfriend abroad. Is it necessary for him to get so angry over a simple joke? I’ll ask about his future
sister-inw when he’s in a better mood. another day,” she mused.
After speaking, Sherri turned to Natalie and asked, “Where to? Are we going back to Adare Manor?”
Natalie stretched her arms as she let out a big yawn. The rain had finally subsided, leaving behind a
gloomy atmosphere. It seemed that rainy weather naturally had a way of affecting people’s moods.
A few secondster, she turned to Sherri and said, ‘I’m considering moving out.”
Sherri sighed again for her best friend and expressed her concern, saying, “It’s good that you want to
move out. So, where are you nning to move? Are you thinking of moving to the Foster’s residence,
or are you considering renting a ce?”
After considering it, Natalie furrowed her brows slightly and exined, “I’m nning to rent a small
apartment near the hospital for the remaining month. I don’t have enough cash to buy a house, and
besides. I’ll be going abroad after the New Year. Owning a house would not be wise.”
Sherri understood that Natalie had not wholly recovered from the loss of her grandfather, Mr. Foster.
Otherwise, she would not avoid returning to the family estate and instead choose to rent a ce. She
had not touched a penny of the inheritance left by Mr. Foster, not even after Trevon’s request for
money.
At this moment, Natalie preferred to rent a ce rather than use the money given to her by Mr. Foster
to buy a house.
It seems that Natalie wants to preserve the memory of Mr. Foster by avoiding using the money he left
for her, as it may make her feel as though he has indeed departed.
Sherri’s mind sparked with an idea, and she suddenly suggested, “How about staying at Edward’s
house for a month? He’s definitely not going to move out anytime soon, and my mother would never
allow it.”
Sherri’s mother. Juana, had always been doting on her brother, Edward. It seemed that Edward was
bing increasingly dependent on her, and Sherri couldn’t help but suspect that Juana would even
go to the bathroom on behalf of Edward if it were possible.
Natalie politely declined Sherri’s suggestion and proposed, “No, let’s check out some rental properties
tomorrow after work. I will check out some online postings tonight.”
Memories of the incident where Trevon confronted her on the balcony resurfaced in Natalie’s mind. She
vividly recalled his warning and realized the potential risks of using her grandfather’s influence. Given
Trevon’s unpredictable nature, she did not want to jeopardize Edward’s position or put him in any
relying on her family’s connections.
“Alright.” Sherri reluctantly agreed.
