Chapter 837 Nolan Just Can't Stop Flirting
"Hello, Mr. Douglas. I am Hestia, an intern from the legal department of the Cunningham Group. It's a pleasure to meet you," Hestia said excitedly. "You might not remember, but a few years ago, I came with my professor to the Douglas Group to help you with some legal issues."
Edward felt a bit jealous. Hestia was always so quiet and gentle around him, never saying more than necessary. But now, seeing Ethan, she was so excited she could almost jump.
To Hestia, Ethan was like an idol. He took over the Douglas Group before graduating from college, secretly founded the Raymond Group despite being suppressed from all sides, and made a stunning comeback when everyone thought he had no chance after being ousted from the Douglas Group. It was too impressive.
Ethan was also taken aback and glanced at Edward.
Edward, unable to think of anything else, looked at Ethan for help.
"Hello, I..." Jasmine finally reacted after a long pause, wanting to say she was Edward's sister.
Ethan interrupted with a smile. "Hello, nice to meet you. This is my wife."
Jasmine glanced at him and nodded knowingly, thinking Edward was afraid of scaring Hestia. "Hello, I'm Jasmine."
Hestia shook hands with Jasmine excitedly. "Hello."
"Well... Mr. Douglas must be very busy, so we won't keep you," Edward signaled to Ethan to leave quickly.
Ethan, holding Jasmine, smiled. "We have some matters to attend to, so we'll be going now."
With that, he pulled the still-dazed Jasmine into the elevator.
Hestia was still excited. "I'm so lucky to meet Mr. Douglas."
Edward looked at Hestia. "You get this excited just seeing him?"
"Of course, Mr. Douglas is a legend in the Silverlight City business circle. It's rare to see him, and we probably won't see him often in the future. It's so lucky to meet him here," Hestia said happily.
Edward felt a bit helpless. They would probably see him often in the future, not only that, there may also be a chance to live together in the Cunningham Mansion.
"Honey, take a look at the surroundings," Edward said with a hint of resentment.
He had planned to take Hestia out to enjoy the scenery today, but Hestia was just happy and excited about meeting Ethan.
"Wow!" Hestia responded perfunctorily.
Edward laughed in exasperation and took her to the viewing area by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Honey, when does your internship end?" Edward asked.
Hestia thought for a moment. "The assessment period is next month, just a few days away. Our graduation ceremony is also coming up, the assessment and the ceremony are close together. First the assessment, then the graduation ceremony."
Hestia remembered they were on the same day.
The assessment results would be sent by the HR department via message, and she wasn't sure if she would receive the notification.
"Can family members attend the graduation ceremony?" Edward asked excitedly.
Hestia thought for a moment. "I think so."
"Can I be invited to your graduation ceremony?" He asked pitifully.
Hestia nodded. "Sure."
Edward felt she was so sweet and smiled contentedly.
Meanwhile, in the family group chat.
Jasmine started sending message as soon as she got in the car.
Jasmine: [Shocked, Edward has been single for years, and now he has a girlfriend?]
Edgar: [He tricked me into buying a bag for his girlfriend a few days ago, I thought he was lying.]
Nolan's profile picture changed to flowers and the sea: [Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors.]
Edward posted a photo of Hestia quietly eating: [My wife was a bit timid, I'll bring her home for everyone to meet in a few days.
Jasmine: [Edward is finally out of singlehood!]
Edgar: [Does your wife know you're a cunning person?]
Nolan: [This is not scientific.]
Cordelia at Nolan: [Hurry and bring my daughter-in-law back, I want to meet her.]
Sunrise City.
Nolan lay on the bed, smiling at his phone.
But he was also a bit worried.
He might not be as cunning as Edward, not knowing how to trick Amelia into coming home.
Amelia had given him a one-year assessment, and he wasn't sure if he could pass it smoothly after a year.
"Nolan, someone reported our guesthouse for illegal operations, saying they found a dead rat in the room." Outside, an employee shouted in panic.
Nolan frowned, covered Amelia with a blanket, and went out.
This wasn't the first time recently, it was clear they were being targeted.
"It's not just our guesthouse, any nearby businesses that didn't obediently shut down and make way for the popular one across from us have all been complained about. They even smeared us on the platform, saying there are rats and cockroaches..."
In short, there were all kinds of complaints.
Someone even took a photo of hair under the pillow, saying the room wasn't clean and the sheets weren't changed.
In short, it's easy to spread rumors, but hard to refute them.
After all, it's impossible to install cameras in guest rooms.
They were taking advantage of this and spreading rumors widely.
"The guesthouse at the T-junction couldn't hold on and closed down, and they talked to Arabella about a takeover, giving the guesthouse to her." the employee added.
Nolan admitted Arabella had some business acumen, using public opinion to force out competitors, but her methods were too despicable.
"Nolan, that woman is here," the receptionist girl came over and said Arabella was here again.
Probably to talk about a takeover again.
Nolan walked to the yard, and Arabella was standing among the flowers. She was wearing a white dress today, with light makeup, looking pure and lovely.
She probably thought Nolan liked the pure type like Amelia.
"Business hasn't been good lately, many competitors have already closed down. I came to check on you," Arabella said with a smile. "Are you really not considering joining us?"
Nolan looked at Arabella coldly. "Why not just state your purpose directly."
"I just want to run a good guesthouse, I have my own pursuits and goals," Arabella tried to show her advantages in front of Nolan. "I think I'm more suitable for you."
"Using despicable means to compete, knowing I am married and still coming to say such words, you are shameless!" Nolan retorted.
Arabella was a bit hurt and said directly, "I don't think it's wrong to like you. I like you, I don't care about your background, I don't care if you have money, I just want to pursue what I like. I don't think I'm wrong."
What kind of logic was this?
"Then let me make it clear, we will continue to run the guesthouse, my wife and I have a good relationship, please stop bothering us," Nolan had had enough of Arabella.
If Amelia hadn't forbidden him from using the Cunningham family's connections, he really wanted to make Arabella disappear.
Wasn't she an obstacle to him and Amelia building their relationship?
"I heard something interesting, the child in Amelia's belly isn't yours," Arabella said with a face full of pity. "That child is her ex-boyfriend Louis's. His current girlfriend is a good friend of mine."
"I just think you're being deceived. Amelia was notorious for her promiscuous lifestyle in Silverlight City, and only came to Sunrise City because she couldn't stay there anymore. You don't know her," Arabella said anxiously, trying to make Nolan give up on Amelia.
