The casual attire lent him an air of refreshing elegance.
Hearing her words, he didn’t raise his head and simply replied, “I’ll give you a generous dowry when you marry.”
Josephine Rinto rolled her eyes, “Do I care for your dowry?
I’m so fed up with that woman.
How much longer do I have to put up with her?”
“Just a little longer…”
“Hehe…” Josephine settled herself on the single sofa opposite.
“I think Ms.
Capris is quite beautiful, Master McKay…
...
You wouldn’t happen to really be falling for her, would you?
Admit it.
You’re already a grown man in your twenties, and there’s no shame in being attracted to someone.
Having me play along in your act, dealing with an annoying woman every day, it’s enough to make me want to vomit.”
Agave Rinto shot her a glance, “Dallyn, do you really think so little of my taste?”
Josephine blinked, then reacted and burst out into laughter, holding onto her stomach, “Goodness, Master McKay, I never thought I’d see the day you’d stoop so low.
What on earth could you possibly want from her?”
Agave Rinto’s gaze was deep and mysterious, “What do you think I want?”
Gradually, the laughter faded from Josephine’s face, replaced by a sigh, “To tell you the truth, I do feel sorry for you, Master McKay.
You’re already twenty-seven years old, and you don’t even have a close female friend by your side.
What’s the use of having all this wealth and property?
Tell me, what type of woman do you like?
I’ll keep an eye out among the ladies of all the notable families.”
Agave Rinto snorted disdainfully: “You can’t spit ivory out of a dog’s mouth.”
“Oh, I miss our Miss so much.
I wonder what she’s doing now.
When will she be coming back?” Josephine propped up her chin with both hands, glancing at the man in front of her out of the corner of her eye.
As expected, a stunned expression appeared on the man’s face as he seemed to be lost in thought.
A smirk spread across Josephine’s face.
She had known it. 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
“Well, lunch has arrived.
I should go attend to your woman.
What a hard life I lead.
I wonder when I can escape from this torment.
Oh, Miss, please come back and rescue me…” Josephine grumbled theatrically and slipped away at the increasingly dark expression on Agave Rinto’s face.
At this point, the mobile phone on the table rang.
Agave Rinto picked it up and answered,
“Master McKay, we’ve found it…”
The man sitting in the sunshine slowly curved his thin lips into a smile.
The scorching sun couldn’t melt the glacial coldness in his eyes though.

After leaving the Rinto residence, a smile never left Bellona Capris’ face.
She parked her car on the side of the road, lowered the window, and a chilly wind hit her in the face.
She raised her hand and slapped her cheeks.
She pulled down the mirror and seriously checked her reflection for a few seconds.
“Don’t forget your ultimate goal because of a man.”
Bellona Capris gently reminded herself.
Only a foolish woman would lose herself in flattery because of a man’s favor.
Although she couldn’t guarantee that her heart wouldn’t flutter, at the very least, she couldn’t lose herself within sugar-coated cannonballs.
That was her bottom line.
The joy faded from her eyes, replaced by restrained calmness.
This was a critical moment.
There was absolutely no room for mistakes.

With Chinese New Year just around the corner, the atmosphere at the Harts was bleak and oppressive.
Mr.
Hart was already sent to a restorative home abroad by Digby Hart six months ago to enjoy his retirement in peace.
And Digby was still being held by the audit bureau, with no news of him until now.
“Alora Hart, your father is suffering out there, and here you are leading a carefree life, inviting a bunch of unsavory people to our house for a party.
Do I mean nothing to you?”
Nana Breezent had genuinely been suffering under Alora Hart’s tyranny this past month.
The girl talked nicely but did all the sickening things.
Now that she had taken over, her uncouth nature was completely revealed.
She had handed over the company’s operations to outsiders and invited a group of unsavory youths into their home, blasting music, partying and drinking till dawn.
Nana, who was pregnant and in her rest period, couldn’t bear all this.
“This is my house.
If you can’t handle it, fine.
Pack your stuff and get lost.” Alora Hart pointed at the door, then ordered her newly hired maid,
“Please help Madam pack.
It would be too humiliating for her to continue staying here.”
The maid scurried up the stairs.
“You…
you…” Nana pointed at Alora Hart, her face reddening with anger.
She grabbed a feather duster from the corner and scolded, “You ungrateful girl, I’m going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your father.”
A chill ran down Alora Hart’s spine, and she quickly grabbed the feather duster and pushed hard, “This house is under my control now.
It’s not your place to discipline me.
If you don’t know how to behave, get out.”
