Chapter 1884


    “Danrique, that''s your Uncle Atkinson''s daughter, Hazel.”


    Kevin began to introduce her hurriedly. “She just returned from her studies in M Nation. She has two


    PhDs and is fluent in fivenguages. She''s extremely skilled in many areas.”


    “Do you remember Hazel, Danrique?” Gerard said with a chuckle. “You used to turn down the other


    kids who came to y with you, but you would always talk to Hazel.”


    I vaguely remember that, yes.”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Danrique looked toward the stage and his cold, indifferent stare became one of admiration.


    Francesca began to feel a little bit unhappy. Before this, when Eva tried to flirt with Danrique, he hadn’t


    even looked at her.


    However, he seemed to feel differently toward this Hazel girl.


    “Hazel just got back, so I wanted to get her into thepany as soon as possible,” Gerard said. “I only


    have one daughter, after all. She''s going to take over my ce in thepany one day. What do you


    think about that?” “It’s your position. You can decide what you want to do with it,” Danrique exined


    mildly.


    “Well, it''s courtesy to run it by you first.” Gerard looked at his daughter with a proud gaze. “Hazel is truly


    the apple of my eye. Apart from work, I do wish she would have a proper home to go to one day.


    Perhaps a family of her own.”


    Suddenly, he paused as if he had just remembered something and turned to look at Francesca with an


    awkward smile. “Ah, I forgot that you already have a fiancee. Just forget I said anything.”


    Francesca hadn''t even wrapped her head around whatever Gerard had just said, but at the sight of his


    stare and his reaction, she could get a hint.


    He obviously wanted to set his daughter up with Danrique.


    “Hazel is a fine young woman. She''ll find her Romeo one day.”


    Danrique''s answer didn''t seem simply courteous or polite. Instead, it seemed as if he was being


    genuine.


    “Has Danrique and Ms. Cece already gotten engaged?” Kevin asked. “I hadn''t even heard about you


    two beforehand, much less the fact that she''s now your fiancee.”


    Kevin smiled at Francesca. In his head, he was thinking, She can''t even understand me, so it doesn''t


    matter.


    “Yes. Don''t let any random person take advantage of you,” Harrier cut in. “You just took over the Epea


    and Adrune market, so they probably hate your guts. That pastor might already have begunying


    down his trap.”


    “You''re really quite full of rubbish today,” Danrique said coldly as he red at Harrier with a stare full of


    knives.


    Harrier shrugged, finally falling silent.


    The sound of the piano finally drifted to a close. Once the song finished, Hazel took a graceful bow and


    began walking toward Danrique.


    The spotlight shone on her and everyone in the room turned to stare.


    “Hello, L. It''s been awhile. Do you remember me?”


    Hazel automatically greeted Danrique in her honey-like voice.


    “Of course,” Danrique said with a slight smile. “Nice to finally see you again.” “Yes, it is.’ Hazel stared at


    him admiringly and was about to speak when she spotted Francesca next to him.


    “This is...?"


    Francesca''s heart surged with warmth and she smiled graciously.


    “Ah.” Hazel was stunned. She hadn''t known about Danrique''s fiancee at all.


    “Cece, this is Hazel. She''s Mr. Atkinson''s daughter,” Danrique introduced in Ustranasion.


    “Ah, hello!” Francesca greeted Hazel.


    “Hello,” Hazel hurriedly replied, reaching out to shake Francesca''s hand. Reаd at Draмanоvels


    Francesca wasn''t used to such a greeting, but she followed along nheless.


    Then, she looked down at her own unassuming slopes.
