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 ns 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
thepany.
With that thought, Irene felt relieved.
Seeing Lucian so happy, she smiled alongside him. “It looks like, under your leadership, thepany 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 ce was because she had a knack for making people
happy, always saying just the right thing to inte a man’s ego.
“Hahaha!” Lucianughed heartily. “The international market is still a bit far off, but with the coboration
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 orter,” 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 herposure,
“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 nced 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 ande 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 nk expression. “I think I made myself clear. I won’t marry
Gwen. Since the Lowe business is set to coborate 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 bothughable and tragic.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on his lips, “Well, if that’s the case, let him marry her. I don’t care!”
Lucian mmed 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 nced at the vi.
“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 ident, or if thepany 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 <i>of </i>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 me someone, me 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 ns…” 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 <i>you </i>haven’t seen each other in so long, so there’s a bit of adjustment needed.”
Feeling her soft hand on his back<i>, </i>Lucian felt a strange sensation. He nced 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
me me.”
“It’s all in the past now<i>!</i><i>” </i>

“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 thepany, 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…
