?Chapter 1498:


    “And why is that your business?” Andres barked. “You guys don’t get it.”


    Decker exchanged looks with Jayson Palmer and Brook Guzman, who were sitting nearby, and the trio fell silent.


    Seeing his friends’ embarrassment, Andres softened his tone. “My dad found out about me and Sandra. He told me to take my rtionship with her seriously, maybe even marry her. Our family is after a Harper Group project. If I’m dating Sandra, our chances of securing that project will skyrocket.”


    The three finally understood Sandra’s importance to Andres. “Could she be ignoring you because she found out about something?” Jayson asked.


    Andres shook his head, tossing his phone aside. “I don’t know. She just said she wants to break up with me. I’ve got to win her back. If I marry her, I might even get a VP spot in my father’spany.”


    He didn’t have a position in thepany, not because hecked ambition, but because his father didn’t see him aspetent.


    At home, his father often said he was unfit for business, destined to ruin anypany he touched.


    He had tried running several ventures, all of which had copsed.


    He really wasn’t cut out for it.


    Andres had beenbeled a failure at home. Even his older brother mocked him, suggesting he live off dividends and coast through life.


    It sounded like a jest, but it was pure contempt.


    “Guys, help me figure out how to win her back. I think she knows something. Rich people are really hard to deal with!” Andres said.


    Decker scratched his head. “How about a surprise proposal outside herpany?”


    Jayson nodded. “Yeah, go big with a massive bouquet of roses and candles in a heart shape—make it super romantic.”

    Brook shook his head. “That’s cliché. We need to figure out why she wants to break up and fix the root issue.”


    The following morning, Brenna descended the stairs to find Sandra already bustling in the kitchen, preparing food. As Brenna settled at the dining table, Sandra approached with a te of sandwiches.


    Dalton, preparing for a day on the film set, had his suitcase ready in the living room. He joined the family for breakfast. Shepard and Giselle soon appeared, their expressions filled with joy, suggesting a mending of past tensions.


    Just then, Ernst and Lilith stepped in from outside. Newly married, they hadn’t been eating at their new home; they always came here for their meals.


    Breakfast with the entire family was a rare asion, and today, joy seemed to ripple through the table.
