Once Bianca and Seth were married, she would enter Aurelion Group as the boss''s wife and eventually take over Harcourt Group. There would be plenty of opportunities to teach Noreen a lesson and make her regret her actions today.
Sipping her coffee, Lana turned to Bianca. "I heard from your mother that your fiancé''s family won''t have many rtives attending. What''s the story there? I know it''s just an engagement, but it''s still a major event."
Lana''s question hit a sore spot. Bianca was bothered by it, but she maintained a calm facade. “Mr. Harcourt isn''t well enough for long-distance travel, so we didn''t want to trouble him."
"Has he given you anything? An engagement is a big deal. The elders should show their support," Lana pressed, her curiosity unabated. "The Harcourt family is so wealthy, they must be incredibly generous, right?"<fna4cb> Latest content published on Find1Novel</fna4cb>
Bianca pressed her lips together, her expression unreadable. She didn''t know how to answer. The truth was, Wade hadn''t made any gesture at all.
Yvonne stepped in to save her. “Seth has been more than generous. He gave Bianca a publicly-tradedpany worth billions. That gesture means more than any traditional gift."
Lana was genuinely impressed and envious. Bianca seemed to have won the lottery of life. Inparison, her own daughter, Lillian, was a constant disappointment.
With a scheme forming in her mind, Lana said to Bianca and Yvonne, "Once you''re settled, Bianca, don''t forget about my Lillian. Help her find a good match in a wealthy family, too."
The mention of Lillian soured Yvonne''s mood. "Bianca was trying to help her, but your daughter is hopeless! We were lucky to contain the scandal before it affected Bianca. Lillian needs to get her act together!"
Lana, knowing she was in the wrong, fell silent.
After buying breakfast, the three of them headed to the gate. On the way, Yvonne saw Noreen boarding her flight and nced at the departure board. Her eyes narrowed. She took out her phone and sent a quick message.
"I remember you have people in Glenhaven City. Find someone to teach Noreen a lesson. She''s getting far too arrogant."
When Noreen tanded in Harborview
City, the driver Mrs. Joyner had arranged was already waiting at the arrivals gate. The car took them to Mrs. Joyner''stesidence in Glenhaven City: Mindale Manor, one of the city''s most iconic luxury
residential areas.
It was Sophia''s first time in such an opulent ce, a scene straight out of a movie about the ultra-rich-all glitz and mour. As the butler led them into the estate, Noreen spotted a familiar face.
It was Henry.
He had arrived before her to visit Mrs. Joyner. He already knew that Noreen wasing to discuss the Centribo acquisition and had made sure to get there first.
Noreen wasn''t surprised to see him, but she paid him little mind, her gaze quickly moving on as she followed the butler upstairs. Henry, however, stood frozen in ce, his expression hardening as he watched her an unreadable chill in his eyes.
He had arrived early that morning, presenting what he believed was apelling business proposal for the acquisition. Mrs Joyner had reviewed it but ultimately declined. Henry couldn''t ept the oue and pressed her for an exnation.
"Mrs. Joyner, I''m truly puzzled. In terms of qualifications, I have a master''s in finance from WT Business School, while Noreen only has an undergraduate degree. There''s noparison."
