Chapter 348 So It Was Mr. Livingston Who Was Pursuing?
Lyle thought, 'The March Family, it's not that I'm being unreasonable. It's just that Charles speaks with a vengeful tone, yet his attitude remains polite.'
This contrast made Lyle break out in a thin layer of sweat. Adeline marrying such a Charles, who knew if it was good or bad.
At this moment, Charles's voice softened considerably. "Mr. Vanderbilt had you bring her, there must be a reason for it. We'll need to trouble you to take care of her in the future."
Lyle, straightforward as always, said, "Even if you didn't make this call, I would still be willing to take care of Ms. Vanderbilt. Meeting Ms. Vanderbilt is my honor."
The presence of that treasure in his pocket was strong; he had accompanied many people to Antique Alley.
Nowadays, who cared about those old rules?
Some people just saw him as a worker, and he should serve them.
For example, that sponsored student from the Vanderbilt Family, or Kai.
Today, for the first time, he felt that being an external member of the Vanderbilt Family was quite nice.
There was Alexander before, and now there was Adeline. It was true that businessmen sought profit, but if they could also leave some value behind, it was worth his respect and loyalty.
Charles seemed surprised by his reaction.
Lyle's information was right there on his desk.
He got along with everyone; the families of Zelphoria's high society could all be considered his employers.
He smiled at everyone and loved to say nice things, but it was extremely difficult to get close to him.
As long as there were no interests involved, he could betray one at any time.
Only Alexander could make him genuinely connect with people.
But taking sides within the Vanderbilt Family, Lyle had never done such a thing before.
It seemed Adeline had done something unexpected again.
Charles's long fingers tapped on the desk, a smile appearing in his eyes. "I overstepped. If you think this way, then I'm relieved. With you by her side, she won't be completely isolated when conflicts arise."
"In my opinion, Ms. Vanderbilt doesn't feel isolated at all." Seeing that the legendary Charles was so easy to talk to, Lyle couldn't help but add, "She didn't seem to care much about the rumors in the upper circles just now."
Charles's fingers paused, and he asked slowly, "What rumors?"
Lyle repeated what he had just told Adeline.
Charles's eyes turned icy cold, and his grip on the pen tightened. The crimson bracelet on his wrist looked as if it had been dipped in blood, very striking.
The assistant pushed the door open and walked in, witnessing this scene.
He had never seen Charles like this.
A chilling aura surrounded him, as if he was about to do something terrible in the next second.
Then, the assistant heard him say to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Warner, you can release a fact."
Lyle was taken aback. "What?"
"That I pursued her, she was indifferent to me, and I couldn't win her over." Charles said this with a smile in his voice, "When we get married, it depends on her mood."
Lyle thought, 'This isn't a fact. In the upper circles, this would be shocking news!'
"No one will believe you if you say that."
This was too outrageous. Had Charles never looked at his own face? It didn't look like someone who would pursue others!
And couldn't win her over? Even a story wouldn't dare to be written like this!
Charles looked up and took the contract from the assistant's hand, his voice unhurried. "Mr. Warner, you go ahead and release your news. I'll make it true when the time comes. Let's see who doesn't believe it then."
