Chapter 176 Three day's had passed. After running out of options, Thomas and Layla decided to stay at a friend's house. Layla, sensing their host's discomfort, was equally uneasy.
Finally, Thomas decided to make a trip to the capital. Layla looked at Thomas packing and asked, "Should I accompany you? Sharon had made it clear that she would make things hard for us before she left last time. You're not even sure how they'll treat you this time.". "Since you already know, it's better if you don't come. We're already imposing here. Everything will be fine tomorrow once I borrow the money from the Larson family. Thomas shook his head, waving her off.
Layla understood that Thomas was out of options. Ever since their business started to decline, those so-called friends had all kept their distance.
Thomas had always been a proud man, and he disliked the Larson family in the capital. His decision to borrow money from them demonstrated how desperate he was.
Early the next morning, Thomas drove to the capital. Coincidentally, Madeline followed Caleb to the capital by plane.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the plane, Madeline flipped through a magazine, yawning out of boredom. "Why are we heading to the capital so early? What are we going to do!" "There's an exclusive conference. I'm taking you to broaden your connections. If you're tired, go ahead and sleep. I'll wake you when we get there," Caleb said, patting Madeline's head.
Madeline glanced sideways at Caleb's stern face and smiled. She leaned her head against his shoulder. Caleb always exuded an air of refinement. His cashmere coat, handcrafted in lugrea, felt soft to the touch. The deep gray color also gave off a calm vibe. With her eyes half closed, Madeline touched Caleb's coat. "Caleb, you should attend the conference alone. I know nothing about business. If you take me, all I'll do is eat and drink" "That's fine. You're on winter break now, right? It's a great opportunity to visit the capital to relax and have fun." Caleb smiled. He turned sideways, resting his handsface against Madeline's hair.
His gaze held an unprecedented softness as he coaxed her gently in a deep voice, saying, "You've been working hard, balancing both studying and acting. You deserve a break. From now on, I'll take you on a vacation every year during your break, okay?" Madeline smiled and nodded. "Okay. You can't go back on your words" She felt much warmer snuggled up to Caleb. Then, she let out a sigh and quickly fell asleep.
Caleb, holding a newspaper, cast a careful glance at her face. After six months of recuperation, Madeline, Her fair skin was soft with a rosy glow. Up close, he could see fine, soft facial hairs on her slightly chubby checks. who was once frail, now looked healthier.
Madeline shone brightly in the winter sunlight. With just one glance, Caleb wanted to shower her with affection. He couldn't help but wish to hold her tight and keep her with him forever. Smiling, he turned his gaze away, closed his eyes, and leaned against her to take a nap.
When Madeline woke up. Caleb gently rubbed her check. Still groggy, she stood up and allowed him to lead her off the plane while holding her hand The stewardess couldn't help but say, "What a lovely couple When Madeline heard that, she was taken aback. "We're siblings she exclaimed inwardly.
Caleb kept a firm hold on her hand, making sure she didn't get separated from him in the crowd. With his other hand, he pulled her luggage. Madeline's suitcase was cute. It was yellow and small. Caleb didn't bring any luggage since he lived in the capital. Outside the airport, a group of people was waiting for them. As soon as Calch appeared, about a dozen people respectfully bowed and greeted Caleb and Madeline. "Greetings, Mr. Simmons and Ms. Larson." Madeline got into the car and noticed several other vehicles following closely behind, surrounding theirs protectively. Confused, she asked. "Caleb, are they protecting you secretly?" "Not really, It's pretty obvious. Caleb chuckled.
Madeline was confused. Caleb's fighting abilities were terrifying, and he didn't require others to protect him at all. She leaned close to the window and looked out again.
familiar sense of awe. In her previous bite, she had The capital's sky wasn't as blue as Acocesters, but the bustle of a top-tier city filled her with a f settled in the capital Chapter 176 Although the lands there were expensive, many people dreamed of living there. There were re numerous high-rise buildings and vehicles on the Madeline had no idea that many people were paying attention to them. As soon as they set foot in the capital, word spread quickly.
Caleb had been absent for months, and now he had returned with a young woman, surrounded by bodyguards with tight security. It was clear that he valued her greatly, sparking speculation among many.
At the Horton residence in the capital, Fabian sat at the head of the table, his expression curious yet wary. "Caleb showed up in Acocester m before, but he kept a low profile and rarely appeared in public. I heard he had a woman with him back then. With his status, personality, and power, he wouldn't bring just any woman back. Could it be that he has found true love? He's never had any close female companions before."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmma pondered for a moment. "I don't know. Nick's wedding plans have been delayed as well. Do you think we should arrange a marriage with someone else from the Larson family? Madeline is really unlucky. Nick rarely takes a liking to anyone, and she ends up getting attacked and disfigured." Emma sighed, feeling bitter about the millions of dollars she had spent on the gifts. Little did they know, the Madeline they were talking about was actually the swoman they feared-the one Caleb doted on.
Meanwhile, at the Larson residence in the capital, the family patriarch was rushing back from the company. The housekeepers had already prepared a gift.
Conner inspected the present. "For Mr. Simmons' girlfriend, we need to send something she'll like. We should cater to her tastes. If she's happy. Caleb will naturally be pleased too." Sharon rested her chin on her hand, feeling helpless. "Isn't he just an arms dealer? His business doesn't seem all that impressive.
You don't understand. Caleb's high status isn't because of his business alone. His underground influence is terrifying. His wealth is beyond imagination, albeit not visible on the surface. Conner huffed, looking at Sharon.
Pick a really impressive gift for the conference today and make sure to cozy up to Caleb's precious darling. Conner instructed. Then, he added, "Caleb rarely attends these events. I bet he's just bringing his girlfriend to make an appearance. I'll be there too. Let's see if I can manage to get a word in with him." Sharon shrugged indifferently. "Okay. Leave it to me. I'm good at dealing with women like her." RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
