Chapter 47: In a State of Chaos and Confusion
Jane sat on the sofa, enjoying a plate of exotic fruits prepared by a servant Holding a fruit fork, she pierced a piece and handed it to her daughter, Soraya “Our Soraya is indeed very clever. Doesn’t your grandmother always want to hold her great–grandchildren? And isn’t your mother worried about your brother? He’s already 28, It’s about time he becomes a father.”
As long as Lindsey conceives Luc’s child, even if the old Mrs. Taylor doesn’t particularly like her, she will certainly not oppose it. After all, she’s always been eager to hold her great–grandchildren
While eating the fruit, Soraya suggested, “Let’s wait until Emma comes back to Boston to finalize the divorce before announcing my brother’s remarriage. This way, it won’t tarnish his reputation. For now, we need to be patient.”
Jane’s expression turned cold. “We can endure this just a little longer
Recalling a recent trip to a high–end salon with some socialite friends, she had heard some intriguing news. A meaningful smile crept onto her face as she
glanced at Soraya 1 have some good news for you. The second son of the Harper family has returned from abroad. He’s truly talented and attractive, very cultured and refined. He’s none other than Jake Harper’s cousin”
Tant Jake my brother’s classmate?” Soraya asked.
“Yes, the second son is named David, and he has inheritance rights in the Harper Corporation. It’s said that old Mr. Harper quite likes him. Perhaps we can
have your aunt introduce you to him?
“Mom, we were talking about my brother, weren’t we? How did it shift to me?” A hint of bashfulness swept across Sonaya’s face as she thought of someone else. The man she met at the Starlight Music Gallery filled her dreams His handsome looks and elegant demeanor seemed as unreachable as
The moon in the sky.
In the whole city of Boston, she couldn’t find another man she’d fallen for at first sight. Yes, she had succumbed
Studying under Christopher and being the heir to the Stone Group, George was far superior compared to the Harper Corporation.
Seeing her daughter behave bashfully like a young girl, Jane’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Doesn’t your mother care about you? Are there any boys pursuing you at school? You must be careful not to end up like your brother, entangled with someone of low status.”
“Mom, my brother is my brother, I am me, and..I already have someone I like! Soraya shyly lowered her head, embarrassed to continue
Jane’s eyes widened in shock as she hurriedly put down her fruit fork and leaned closer “What? Do you have someone you like now? Who is it?
“Mom, it’s not official yet, but his family background is impressive compared to the Harper family.”
“More impressive than the Harpers? There aren’t many families in Boston who can top that Her surprise was mixed with delight
“Could it be the Stew family? Although they’ve been struggling lately, Jeremy returned from abroad and managed to hold things together. Is it him?”
While the Stew family wasn’t a bad choice, they hadn’t been doing as well as the Harper family.
“No, it’s George from the Stone Group”
Jane was flabbergasted, her excitement evident. “George. Stew? I didn’t hear that wrong, did 17 The mysterious prince who has been running the Stone Group from abroad? When did he return? And how did you two meet?”
Blushing, Soraya replied, “Mom, he’s a student of Christopher. We ran into each other at the Starlight Music Gallery.”
“Wonderful Did you get his contact details? Let’s invite him over for dinner or to a movie, or maybe an opera. As a student of Christopher, he must appreciate the arts and love music. You two would have so much to talk about”
Listening to her mother create so many common interests with George, Soraya’s eyes brightened with a smile. Yes, she could visit Christopher this weekend, seek his guidance, and then ask for George’s contact information
In the evening, Luc arrived at the Beth family villa in the East River area, leaning against his vehicle parked on the roadside.
Lindsey was elegantly dressed, accessorized with a matching shawl from Chanel. She was tall and graceful, wearing a stunning diamond necklace that sparkled under the lights. The high heels accentuated her figure, and in her hand, she carried a limited edition bag from Hermes. The entire ensemble likely cost a fortune
“Lue=“Her voice was melodious and inviting
Lindsey was dazzlingly beautiful and charming. She walked briskly toward him, affectionately taking his arm. The scent of her perfume was overpowering. causing Lue to frown slightly. Perhaps because he was a doctor, he preferred a more subtle fragrance
Emma never wore perfume; she had a fresh, natural scent that radiated from her body, a faint aroma that was both calming and elegant.
A mocking smile crept onto Lue’s lips. Why was he comparing Lindsey to that heartless woman? She had been away
y for so long without even a phone call if that wasn’t heartless, what was?
-He would soon forget her
He collected his thoughts and politely opened the passenger door for Lindsey. She stepped into the car gracefully, removing her shawl, revealing her elegant collarbone and subtle curves
After circling the car, Luc climbed into the driver’s seat. “Lindsey, put on your seat belt.”
Lindsey playfully replied, “Luc, I want you to help me with it.”
Luc’s eyes darkened as he reached over to grab the seat belt on her right side. From the outside, it appeared as if half his body was pressing against her
in a suggestive pose. Lindsey leaned slightly forward, her chest brushing against his.
His hands moved carefully, pulling the seat belt across her and buckling it. Just as he was retracting his hand, Lindsey’s lips brushed against his face.

“Luc,” her soft voice made him feel momentarily dazed. He touched his
is face where her lips h
had brushed, pulling
g out a tissue from the car.
“Shall I do it?” Lindsey asked, taking the tissue and gently wiping his face. Her fingers traced over his features, moving slowly and delicately like a
soothing stream of water easing the tension in his heart.
His body stiffened, and he grabbed Lindsey’s delicate hand. “Stop wiping.”
