“In recent years, countless people have tried to approach Mr. Wright by pleasing the Wrights’ sole grandson, but Mr. Wright hates that the most!”
“It seemed like the last woman who had dared to have ideas about the Wrights’ sole grandson had married a 60-year-old man in the end. That woman is too bold!”
It was only when she overheard the comments that Rachel finally understood what he meant.
…Is that man out of his mind?
Soon, Ethan left the lobby. The bodyguards also withdrew, and the hotel lobby went back to normal.
Inside the extra-long black Bentley.
John had a sullen look on his face, and he made a silent protest.
Ethan frowned.
His son’s abnormal behavior tonight had caused him to check the surveillance camera footage in the corridor. There, he saw that the woman had kissed and hugged his son.
The problem was that for the very first time, John, who had always been averse to others and disliked physical contact, hadn’t resisted.
Was it because that woman was so fair and beautiful that she was overly eye-catching?
He thought of her sheer beauty that even her simple dressing couldn’t hide, and the kind of careless wildness in her actions when she was yawning.
And, in particular, the rejection and indifference in her cat-like eyes when she was facing him. She was unlike other women. She certainly had a few tricks up her sleeve!

At the Parkers.
The birthday party was already over when Ken arrived.
Serina’s face was swollen, and a clear handprint could be seen. She applied a towel wrapped around ice as a cold compress to her cheek. In tears, she complained, “Why are you here so late, Ken?”
Ken looked uncomfortable for a moment.
On the way to the Parkers, he had taken a detour and asked a private investigator to help inquire about the beauty he saw at the airport today.
He coughed and put on an anxious and concerned look. “What happened? Did that fatty hit you? Is she refusing to annul the engagement? Where is she? I will pay her a visit myself!”
Pay her a visit himself… That means they’ll meet.
For some reason, Serina thought of that aggressively beautiful face, and a sense of anxiety formed in her heart.
If Ken were to meet Rachel, he definitely wouldn’t take a fancy to her… Right?
Serina tightened her hold on the towel. Then, she immediately said, “Ken, you don’t need to go in person. She just can’t bear to let go of the company. Don’t worry, I’ll make her agree.”
Ken didn’t insist. After all, his mind was no longer here. He nodded and said with emphasis, “Without the company, Grandpa will never agree to our engagement! I’ll leave this matter to you. I don’t want to see her pig-like face, either. By the way, did she become even fatter?”
Serina became wary. She didn’t answer but said, “Don’t meet her if you don’t want to. I’ll definitely come up with a solution about the wedding gift.”
“Okay.”
After leaving the Parkers, Ken drove absentmindedly. However, his mind was completely on the woman whom he had met at the airport. He didn’t know who she was, but the air around her, and her beauty were something that he had rarely come across in his whole life.
It’d be great if I can take her as my wife.
