Their Pursuit of Wedded Bliss

Chapter 12 That Woman Died in Childbirth

　　"Brother, why must you torture yourself like that! That woman died in childbirth. It's not your fault! Our family bought her the most luxurious grave and you often go to her tomb to remember her. You have even given her family substantial financial support. You've already done more than enough to do her justice..."

　　The chilly moonlight shrouded Butch's handsome face, a touch of sadness seeped through his voice. "If I was beside her when she was giving birth to Bobby, she might not have died!"

　　"Big brother, you're the weirdest man I've ever met. To be honest, if grandpa hadn't arranged for you to have a one-night stand with her, she wouldn't even have had Bobby... It was a one-night stand. How you be so deeply in love with her is really beyond me. As a man in his prime, you should look for more women..."

　　"Shut up! You don't understand..."

　　Butch spun around and walked away.

　　Billy stood still, a frustrated look on his face. "Heck, I don't understand? I've got a bunch of girlfriends, okay?"

　　Three days later...

　　The National Business Summit was being held in J City. Among the people present, Butch Warner, the CEO of the Pinchon group, was on the list of attendees.

　　In order to approach Butch again, Brenda was there too.

　　If she wanted to open up the market in J city, she had to deal with Butch first.

　　She wasn't prepared enough last time and so she had gotten the cold shoulder. This time, she had brought some samples with her.

　　It was still too early for the conference to start. She sat in a reception room for the moment, waiting for Butch to show up...

　　Meanwhile, Lily Prudhomme, holding Harvey Cookper's arm , was walking in from outside.

　　"Harvey, it's really hard to get close to Warner. I've taken appointments many times, but he won't see me at all. I've already made up my mind. After this time, I'll approach from Mrs.Warner's side. Mrs.Warner fancies Chinese-style dresses. I've already ordered the best samples to be sent to her. If everything goes well, I'll be able to get through this week."

　　She was talking as she walked. Suddenly, she felt that Harvey had not been responding for a long time. She was slightly bemused.

　　She followed his gaze.

　　Only then did she realize that he was staring at a young woman far away.

　　In all the years she'd been with him, he'd never gazed at her like he was doing now. For a moment, she was a little jealous and resentful.

　　She was about to give him a kick, but when she again gazed intently she realized that the young woman in front was none other than Brenda.

　　Brenda was wearing a white off-the-shoulder lace midi dress. Her thick long hair was pulled back on top of her head into a slightly fluffy bun and long bangs hung all the way down to her eyebrows.

　　Her makeup and attire looked casual, but she exuded a kind of bright and charming youthful vitality. She looked like a beautiful fairy.

　　Looking at Brenda, Lily felt a little irritated. Last time at Pinchon Group she had deliberately pushed a flower pot over to smash Brenda to death. Unfortunately, her plan didn't work.

　　"Harvey, what are you staring at?"

　　She pinched Harvey very hard.

　　Harvey's expression slightly changed, his eyes still lingering on Brenda.

　　"Isn't that Brenda?"

　　After five years, he was still very affectionately calling her Brenda. Lily was most displeased.

　　Previously, Lily had deliberately drugged Brenda behind Harvey's back. She had wanted to humiliate Brenda and have her killed.

　　She knew very well that Harvey wouldn't be cruel enough to eliminate Brenda. Brenda still had a place in his heart.

　　The only way to make Harvey forget about Brenda was to have her r***d, Lily had presumed.

　　"Why, do you still have feelings for her?"

　　"I'm just a bit overwhelmed. After so many years, she's still so beautiful... Lily, shall we go over and say hello to her? After all, she's your elder sister."

　　"Harvey, what are you talking about? Have you forgotten what happened back then? We snatched away her Rainbow Fashion Company. Do you think she wants to see you?"
