Chapter 297 You Are Really Generous! (Part One)
Feeling a bit anxious, Ca asked Terence, "Is Rhys going to end up being the same as Marcus?"
Ca was a little worried that Rhys would be willing to go through lengths just to get a hold of Terence''s
position.
Taking a seat on the sofa and crossing his legs, Terence went ahead and told her, "No, I don''t think so.
He is a clever businessman. In fact, he is perceptive enough to have a solid grasp of the present
situation."
"Do you really think it would be okay to attend the dinner party tomorrow evening?" Ca asked him
with a sullen look on her face.
"Of course. Why wouldn''t it be?"
Terence replied, smiling at her as he swayed his legs.
Then, in an attempt to put her mind at rest, he said, "After all he is still my brother. There used to be
three brothers in the Ans, but now there are just two left. The AJ Group ofpanies owns a number
of different industries. With that in mind, Rhys can lend me a hand in running some of them. And even
though he might not be as good as Marcus, he will, at least, be able to help around a little if I just find

an appropriate position for him to fill."
In spite of everything, Rhys was also a son of the Ans. And he might be far from being as good as
Marcus when it came to managing a business, but he was still rtively better than the average
person.
As she listened to Terence''s response, Ca lightly bobbed her head along.
When he was done talking, she wondered, ''Oh, that''s right. They are indeed rted by blood.
I hope Rhys will be much more reasonable so that he can help Terence better and not follow Marcus''
footsteps and resort to doing underhanded things.
The AJ Group manufactures various goods all over the world. If Terence has to manage the business
all by himself alone, he will end up being much too busy for anything else. For that very reason, letting
Rhys help him out would probably be the best course of action to take.''
Grabbing the cup sitting on the table, Ca took a sip of water. Then, she nodded her head in
agreement with what Terence had in mind.
Then, she went ahead and remarked, "The three sons of the Ans havepletely contrasting
personalities. The eldest of all, Marcus, is so spiteful and wants to take your ce by any means
possible. And Rhys, on the other hand, looks like he doesn''t really care much about the business at all,
but in any case, he''s still such a smart guy."
Truth be told, when she first came across Rhys, she instinctively had thought that he was probably a
clever businessman.
She had a hunch that Rhys probably went abroad this time with the intention of observing everything
while keeping a safe distance. If Marcus were to have been the one who ended up victorious, she
somewhat felt like Rhys would also be so happy to propose a toast for him to celebrate.
"Yes. When we were still kids, grandpa used to tell us that we would be following different paths in the
future. Now, after everything that happened, I finally realized that what he said was true," Terence
replied, recollecting the past.
As he leaned towards her, he nced at his watch and said, "I''m about to attend a meeting in a few
minutes. Do you want toe with me?
"Isn''t that meeting of yours going to be held in thepany?" with her hands on his waist, Ca asked,
a bit unenthusiastic about the idea of going with him.
"It''s just going to be like a family meeting in the An''s Mansion," Terence rified. Caressing her face,
he looked straight into her eyes and told her, "You don''t have to feel so anxious. You cane with
me, then when we''re done having the meeting, we can stroll around outside. What do you say?"
"If you say so." Knowing that he really wanted to take her with him, she agreed, yfully snuggling up
in his arms.
If she waspletely being honest, she actually hated the thought of being away from him even if it
was just for a second.
After all, she couldn''t bear to think about what would happen after two days passed.
She was scared to think that Terence wouldn''t be able to smile at her again or even talk to her in such
an endearing voice any longer...
Not wanting to hurt his feelings, she didn''t tell him that she was about to get engaged to Noah. But in
the end, she knew she could no longer avoid it. And he would surely feel so devastated when he finally
found out.
Be that as it might, it was taking all of her strength just to fool herself, trying to forget about what was
bound to happen. At least, for the next two days, all she longed for was to happily spend the little time
she had left right next to him.
Oh, how she wished she had never gone to HA City on that day. If only she hadn''te to HA City
along with Noah back then, she could have avoided getting into that unfortunate car ident, and she
could be merrily enjoying this time with him, free to do whatever she wanted without a care in the world.
But the gods watching over her from above seemed to be so fond of tormenting her and seeing her in
agonizing pain.
Momentster, Terence and Ca arrived at the venue for the meeting—the An''s Mansion.
While Terence was still attending the meeting, Ca decided to just wait for him at the hall downstairs.
Considering that this was a family event, so every person present should, of course, be a member of
the An family.
That being said, she wasn''t the only person who was waiting for someone at the hall.
She stumbled upon a girl whom she had already met once before in the Ans. If her memory served her
right, the girl''s name was Amanda. At any rate, how could she ever forget the girl who was referring to
Terence as her uncle but still wanted to marry him anyway?
"Ca? Your leg..."
Staring intently at the crutch which had been supporting Ca, Amanda asked inquisitively.
"I unfortunately got involved in a car ident a couple of weeks ago and fractured my leg," Ca
exined. Although it looked rather unseemly, she lifted her injured leg on the sofa''s armrest because
it would feel a hell of a lot morefortable that way.
