Chapter 118
She didn’t argue, so I patiently continued, “For the past ten years, all I thought about was loving him, never considering that he didn’t really want to accept it
“What happened that day no matter how angry or regretful I am, it’s already happened. I might as well let it go. Now, all I want is a quick divorce to have nothing more to do with him”
“But don’t you feel wronged!” Lucy’s voice gradually softened. “What’s there to feel wronged about! I’m already married, it’s something that naturally happens, no big deal,” I said, smiling-
I tried to convince Lucy, but I couldn’t ignore the slight sadness deep within me. How could I nat feel a little wronged?
Unfortunately, it was the path I had chosen on my own, so complaining about feeling aggrieved now seemed rather excessive.
I just need to hold my head high and keep moving forward. In contrast, Lucy was apprehensive about my situation.
I didn’t wish for her to continue freiting over my problems, so I deliberately shifted the topic. “By the way, would you like to work at Parker Group?”
Lucy snapped back to reality. “My parents asked me the same thing… I clearly knew the reason behind it, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud. “If you’d like to, I can offer you some assistance”
“I don’t quite get it. My family–run business might not be as huge as Parker Group, but it’s by no means small. So, why don’t my parents want me to work there?” Larry inquired, tilting her head slightly as she looked at me.
“Maybe they want you to gain some experience. I didn’t tell her the whole truth. The Coffey family was simply trying to protect themselves.
If their daughter were to work at Parker Group, it would he only natural for other companies to show a certain degree of respect. Meanwhile, it was as if they were sending someone as a gesture of loyalty to Parker Group.
„Lucy had been spoiled since childhood; whatever she desired, her family would provide for her. It could be said that she was overly indulged.
However, when it came to matters of family interests, they still ended up sending her away in the end…
Lucy didn’t think of these things Instead, she sighed and said. “But Yronne, whenever I think of that jerk Hayden, I just can’t focus on my work. And after what he did to you, I don’t want to go there…
I parted her hand and said. “You’re going there to learn skills it has nothing to do with him. You might not even run into each other”
“But I want to go abroad with you.” Lucy stared at me as if she had realized something. “Do you not want me to follow your
We were still fine talking about going abroad together yesterday. She would naturally be curious why I suddenly asked her to work at the Parker Group today. She could tell something suspicious going on here.
My heart fluttered. I explained, “Of course I want you to be with ine, but you have your family… they’ll be worried about you. Lucy, I know you’re afraid that I’ll be lonely on my own. I visit often. It’s okay”
“What if you get swept off your feet by some blonde, blue–eyed foreign guy overseas, settle down, have kids, and never come back? What would i do then.” Lucy pouted, looking distressed
Following her line of thought, I continued, “Wouldn’t that be great? Haven’t you been wishing for me to dump Hayden?”
“I hoped that you would break up with him and get together with Dylan instead!” she said I sighed, “He’s way too young. I don’t want people to label me as a cougar!”
Over the years, the phenomenon of relationships between younger, puppy–like boyfriends and older women has indeed emerged as a However, it has never really appealed to me.
a trend.
“Who’s old You look like you’re righteen!” Lucy rugged on my sleeve and muttered. I didn’t want to bring it up again, so I picked up a light purple dress and asked her, “What do you think of this one?”
Just as Lexpected, her eyes sparkled with excitement, and all of her attention was instantly drawn. “It’s gorgeous! So fashionable! You should try it no immediately! With those words, she shoved me into the fitting room.
Thadn’t even changed yet when I got a call from Marlon, “Want to have dinner together tonight?”
Tm busy, there’s a company gala” I replied straightforwardly,
Marlon squinted—the Parker Groups gala? Such a lively event, how could he not join in the fun!

Chapter 118
The Venus Hotel, which belonged to the Parker Group, had its first–flour banquet hall cleared our well in advance in preparation for an event scheduled at 7 pm.
As the host, Zachary was the first to arrive. He straightened his spotless white suit and turned his head to ask Sean Harnen behind him. “Who do you think Hayden will bring with him?”
“In a situation like this, it’ll probably be Yvonne, won’t it? Joanna has just left the company after all, Sean replied nonchalantly, anticipating no
Everyone in the company was saying that Joanna had a major clash with Yvonne and came off really badly from it griting ousted by the Parker Group overnight
Zachary wasn’t entirely convinced by Sean’s speculation. A sly grin crept onto his lips. “Joanna is no pushover. She’ll make a return appearance tonight as well”
“Are you saying. Hayden will bring her? Sean asked in shock. This time. Zachary didn’t respond.
Hayden’s thoughts were unpredictable, impossible for anyone to predict. However, Zachary knew Yvonne surely wouldn’t be appearing with Hayden. Her stubbom personality was quite unexpected.
Merely the thought of Yvonne’s delicate ice, which carried a tinge of arrogance, caused Zachary’s lips to curl upward involuntarily. He was well aware that there would be a spectacle tonight.
Time passed by slowly, and the executives of the Parker Group began to arrive one after another.
The hall was mainly for the company’s core management and some employees holding important positions, Employees from the branch offices were generally not on the guest list.
In addition, a number of high–society elites with close ties to the Parker Group were extended invitations. They all managed to find an excuse to assemble, indulging in feasting drinking, chanting, and boosting.
Perhaps some new business opportunities would present themselves this evening. Hayden showed up pancially, neither a minute too curly nor a minute too late and stepped out of the car in a laid–back manner,
Seeing him come alone, Zachary involuntarily raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Parker? Why didn’t you bring a companion?”
Hayden gave a cold look at Sean standing behind Zachary, Ts Sean your dance partner? Sean gritted his teeth and thought, ‘Do I look like a
womant
Zachary was taken aback for a moment, then started to laugh. “Mr. Parker really has a sense of humor. Sean personally oversaw the entire ball. Fo just here to inspect things”
Just as he finished speaking, another car slowly drove up from the front “Who is that?”
A Rolls–Royce is quite rare in Elysiumville! Is that Mr. Parker’s car” a man nearby said.
“Mr. Parker has already arrived. Didn’t you notice another man remarked.
The onlookers started to murmur amongst themselves, their gazes fixated on the vehicle. Whoever was arriving in such a high–end, luxurious car must surely possess a rather remarkable status,
Hayden raised his line of sight, his deep eyes narrowing a bit. That car seemed somewhat familiar to him.
With everyone’s attention focused, a hotel attendant bent respectfully to open the back door of the Rolls–Royer.
The first thing that came into view was a pair of exquisite crystal high heels, reflecting the light around and sparkling brilliantly.
The legs clad in those high heels were sleek, like exquisite jade, provoking boundless speculation. Just as everyone was spellbound, a vaier rang out abruptly. “It’s Yvonner
