Thinking about the recent conflict at Sky Garden with the Hodges family, Irene still felt a bit uneasy.

But she couldn’t let Lucian find out about this; otherwise, her plans to join the Lowe family would be ruined!

Luckily, since she had been abroad for so long, the Hodges family didn’t recognize her, so it hadn’t affected

the company.

With that thought, Irene felt relieved.

Seeing Lucian so happy, she smiled alongside him. “It looks like, under your leadership, the company is

going to break into the international market!”

Irene’s words were music to Lucian’s ears.

The reason he had been drawn to her in the first place was because she had a knack for making people

happy, always saying just the right thing to inflate a man’s ego.

“Hahaha!” Lucian laughed heartily. “The international market is still a bit far off, but with the collaboration

with the Hodges Group, this year’s national market is definitely within reach.”

“That’s just a matter of time. I believe in you; you’ll get there sooner or later,” Irene said.

Lucian was quite pleased with her, his eyes flickering with something unusual as he nodded firmly.

“This is the good fortune you’ve brought back. Once everything is settled, feel free to ask for anything you

want!” he said.

“Really?” Irene’s eyes sparkled with delight, though she tried to maintain her composure,

“Of course.”

Irene was already plotting something in her mind.

Just then, Jerry Chuckled coldly, “You should give up on the idea of joining the Lowe Family. I will never agree

to it!” With that, he awkwardly wheeled himself toward his room.

Irene’s smile faltered a bit.

Lucian watched, wanting to say something, but as he looked at his son’s retreating figure, he just furrowed

his brow.

Turning back to Irene, he said, “Jerry, he…”

“It’s okay, it’s what I deserve…” Irene replied.

“It’s good that you understand.”

Irene continued to smile, appearing gentle and considerate.

At that moment, Lucian glanced at Yale, who was standing nearby, and frowned slightly. “What are you

standing there for? Come over here.”

Irene turned around, looking at Yale, and called out, “Your dad’s calling you. Hurry up and come over.”

Yale thought for a moment before walking over.

As soon as he sat down, Lucian began, “About your engagement to Gwen…”

“I won’t marry her!” Yale interrupted, looking directly at him.

Lucian was taken aback, his eyes quickly filling with anger. “What did you say?”

Seeing this, Irene quickly tugged at Yale’s sleeve, whispering, “Yale, don’t make your father angry!”

Yale seemed unfazed, looking at Lucian with a blank expression. “I think I made myself clear. I won’t marry

Gwen. Since the Lowe business is set to collaborate with the Hodges Group, all issues should be resolved.

So why should I…”

“Marrying Gwendolyn Lewis?” Yale asked.

“Partnering with the Hodges Family Group is one thing, but your engagement to the Lewis Family is a done

deal!” Lucian replied.

“Why does my marriage have to be sacrificed?”

“Sacrificed? The Lewis Family is more than worthy of you! Let me tell you, this is something many would

dream of having. If it weren’t for your brother’s condition, do you think this would fall to you?” Lucian shouted

in frustration.

With those words, Yale understood everything.

He was just a backup in this situation.

It was both laughable and tragic.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his lips, “Well, if that’s the case, let him marry her. I don’t care!”

Lucian slammed his hand on the table in anger, “Say that again?”

Yale couldn’t be bothered to repeat himself and turned to leave.

“Ungrateful child!” Lucian stood up and shouted at his retreating figure, “If you don’t marry Gwendolyn Lewis,

don’t ever think of entering the Lowe Family again or calling me Dad!”

Yale suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned back to look at Lucian, then glanced at the villa.

“Once, I might have wanted to walk through that door, but now… it doesn’t matter. As for you, why would I

care about something I never had?” With that, he turned away and walked out.

“Yale, Yale!” Irene called his name, her body trembling with anger, yet she had to maintain a gentle and weak

demeanor in front of Lucian.

No matter how much Irene shouted, Yale didn’t look back.

In the past, he had at least fantasized that Lucian had his reasons, that he was forced by circumstances. But

now he realized he was just dispensable. If Jerry hadn’t had that accident, or if the company hadn’t faced issues, he might not even have had the chance to stand before him.

Given that, there was no need to think about it any longer!

As he walked away, Lucian, in a fit of rage, grabbed the teacup in front of him and smashed it onto the floor.

“Ungrateful brat, that’s what he is!” Lucian fumed.

Irene was startled but quickly squeezed out a couple of tears as she looked at Lucian. “It’s all my fault. I

didn’t teach him well… Yadong, I’m sorry. If you want to blame someone, blame me!”

Lucian frowned at her. “Crying won’t solve anything. You should think about what to do next.”

“Give me some time. I’ll convince him,” Irene said confidently.

“You better. If it messes up my plans…” Lucian left the rest unsaid.

Irene stepped closer and gently touched his back. “I won’t let him affect you, trust me. He really cares about your opinion; it’s just that you haven’t seen each other in so long, so there’s a bit of adjustment needed.”

Feeling her soft hand on his back, Lucian felt a strange sensation. He glanced at her; she looked so gentle and kind. Despite being over fifty, she maintained herself like someone in their early forties, with a youthful

charm.

Lucian sighed. “All these years, raising him alone must have been tough…”

Irene’s eyes reddened. “I’ve always said, as long as it’s for you, I’m willing to do anything, as long as you don’t

blame me.”

“It’s all in the past now!”

“But Yao Dong… do you still want me?” Irene asked.

Lucian thought for a moment. “Give me some more time. Once the marriage with the Lewis Family is settled,

I’ll talk to Jerry. For the sake of the company, he’ll eventually agree.”

Hearing this, Irene immediately beamed with a smile. “Alright, it’s okay. I’ll wait. As long as I can be with you,

I’ll wait as long as it takes!”

Lucian looked at her, her gentle demeanor greatly satisfying his ego as a man.

As he gazed at her, his eyes shone with a peculiar light…
