When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1662


    “So I really was being petty.” Emery pressed her lips together. She finally decided toe clean and


    apologize. “I’m sorry for what I did. I can’t believe that even as an elder, I still acted this way. I promise


    that no matter what happens in the future, even if Xavier takes over mypany, you can ask for


    anything. I won’t say no.”


    To me and Ashton, Emery was always ready to help, but it was a different level of sincerity when she


    made such a promise to our next of kin.

    “Thank you, Aunt Emery,” Summer said before suddenly thinking of something. “Actually, there’s


    something I need help with right now.”


    “Right now?” Emery raised an eyebrow before agreeing nonchntly. “Of course! What is it?”


    “I need your help looking into the background of the deputy president of Luscious Wines. I’m very sure


    that he was the man who left with Quince just now.”


    “You mean Lexis?” Emery seemed to know who Summer was talking about. “Are you nning to buy


    his wine or something?”


    “That was what I nned on doing,” Summer said with a nod. Then, she started looking hesitant. “Out


    of all the samples I received, Luscious Wines had the best quality overall.”


    Emery nodded. “It’s an old brand, so they have a good reputation. However, recently, the management


    has be obsessed with abusing their power and being up to no good, so their reputation has been


    getting worse recently. Of course, their reviews have also been unsatisfactory. People who are


    interested in wine could taste even the slightest bit of impurities orck of quality control, so choosing


    Luscious Wines is still quite a risk.”


    “Thank you, Aunt Emery. Don’t worry. I don’t n on signing any contracts so soon, so nothing’s going


    to happen yet.” Summer chuckled before asking another question, “Still, Luscious Wines is at the top of


    the industry. If something happens to them, the other smallerpanies probably won’t be able to


    avoid it either. What do you say we weed out their little ns first so we can find out what exactly


    they’re up to?”


    Emery looked at Summer as her eyes gleamed in surprise before smiling. She stirred her coffee as she


    said, “I knew you were naturally gifted at these things. I’ll do the background checks on these people as


    soon as possible, so all you need to do is just be the boss of your center and earn more money that we


    can all split and enjoy together.”


    I looked at them helplessly as they yfully bantered back and forth. I jokingly knocked on the table


    and said, “Excuse me, you two big shots, it’s mealtime. Put the business talk aside and join me for a


    nice meal, yeah?”


    “Haha. Look, your mom’s getting jealous,” Emery said mockingly.


    “I bet Mommy’s just hungry.”


    “I am! I could down a whole ten-course-meal right now.”


    Lunch would have been a fun affair if it weren’t for the reappearance of someone I wish we could forget


    about.


    We had just finished eating and were about to leave. Emery fished out a card from her purse and was


    about to pay when a hand suddenly blocked her way.


    Lucas walked out from behind the waiter and stood next to the table with a grin on his face. “What a


    coincidence, Stovall! Fate is really a fickle thing, huh? We seem to bump into each other no matter


    where we go.”


    I did my best to squeeze out a smile. “Yes, it does seem that way. This restaurant was strongly


    rmended by a friend, so I came to check it out.”


    Lucas smiled at me ambiguously before looking at Summer. “You see, dear? I’ve already told you how


    close your mother and I are. We’ll eventually end up coborating anyway, so have you changed your


    mind yet?”


    As usual, his tone wasced with cockiness. I had no idea where he had gotten the audacity to sound


    so confident from.


    Summer just smiled and didn’t reply. She nced over at me and Emery, and we all understood each


    other’s thoughts almost instantly. We decided to stay quiet since there were some things that were


    better off not said.


    Lucas didn’t seem to feel awkward even at theck of a reply. He tilted his chin and paid our bill. He


    had clearly learned quite a lot about Chanaea’s customs during his time here.
