She continues to cut vegetables, with her face uncontrollably blushing.<\/p>\n<p>She is busy in frying the fishes, so she teaches Louis how to make meatballs.<\/p>\n<p>It is difficult for the first time. He can&#8217;t shape it round, making Lily somewhat impatient.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rub it! Not pinch it!&#8221; Words fail her, &#8220;Rub it like this. Why are your hands so inflexible, while your handwriting is so good?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They are different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t stop!&#8221; she shouts and patted on his head, &#8220;No dinner if you can&#8217;t make it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Never talk back to a woman.<\/p>\n<p>When they know that the meatballs were made by Louis and see his helpless expression, Chloe laughs wildly, &#8220;Louis is actually weak in cooking! I&#8217;d die laughing!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then she prays laughably, &#8220;Please give Louis a daughter. It would be best if she is a devil in human shape and tortures Louis to death!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Chloe.&#8221; Louis frowns, &#8220;How dare you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Coffey says, &#8220;I&#8217;m her backup.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dinner first!&#8221; Lily is afraid that it will turn into a battlefield, &#8220;Stop talking. You guys are spraying the dishes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Louis pulls the dish in front of him closer.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, Lily kicks Louis to wash the dishes, while she follows Coffey to the courtyard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I found this.&#8221; Coffey gives an envelope to Lily. &#8220;Twenty-five years ago, a jewelry shop in Italy received a customer. He gave the shop an uncut sapphire, said that he was getting married and hoped that they could make a set of jewelry for him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They made a three-piece set. And there was his wife&#8217;s name abbreviation on the ring. The man is Armand Smith and his wife is Ashley Bray.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pausing for a moment, Coffey continues, &#8220;The information about their jobs was destroyed. I can&#8217;t find any clues and only know that he committed suicide. Also, I&#8217;ve seen the photos of them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lily smiles, &#8220;Is he very similar to Louis?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Coffey nods.<\/p>\n<p>Lily briefly tells him Louis&#8217; story.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So that&#8217;s what it is.&#8221; No wonder Lily asks him to check the ring&#8217;s background. &#8220;But it seems that you want to know more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do you have any clues about the necklace or earrings?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Earrings were auctioned in Boston ten years ago. They are now in the possession of a lady. As for the necklace, I haven&#8217;t found any clues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What a pity,&#8221; Lily says regretfully.<\/p>\n<p>Coffey has found a lot, but not the one she wants to know.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tell me what you want. I&#8217;ll go for a try.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No need.&#8221; Lily smiles and shakes her head. She is not sure about it either. After all, there are not so many coincidences. &#8220;Maybe I am thinking too much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Coffey no longer asks more.<\/p>\n<p>Chloe acts like in her own house. After dinner, she turns on the stereo and roars with the microphone, causing Louis about to be deaf.<\/p>\n<p>He couldn&#8217;t stand it anymore and kicks them out.<\/p>\n<p>Really annoying!<\/p>\n<p>Lily is watching Rich eating. He walked over and teased, &#8220;Miss Lily, do you want to snatch food from the dog?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lily ignores him.<\/p>\n<p>He is a little puzzled. He squats down and finds that Lily is staring at the ground sadly. &#8220;What&#8217;s wrong? Is there anyone hard on you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After being bullied so many times, she finally strikes back!<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Having the genius from the Smith Group, it is giant leap of the team. The tenders they make are completely different from the previous ones, which could be models.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn&#8217;t help but sigh. It is undoubted that ninety percent of the talents are in the Smith Group.<\/p>\n<p>On the D-day, they get to the venue.<\/p>\n<p>It is a big project and there are many companies participating. Apart from the Smith Group, most of the large companies in the industry send people over. It is very lively.<\/p>\n<p>Lily has learned in the Smith Group for so long and represents the HZ Group to win this bid. She behaves gracefully and confidently. Quite a few people come over and want to know her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you President Lily of the HZ Group?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A tall man walks over. He has charming features, short golden hair and dark blue eyes.<\/p>\n<p>A foreigner, but his Mandarin is quite good.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hello, I&#8217;m Lily from the HZ Group.&#8221; Lily doesn&#8217;t know him. Out of courtesy, she shakes hands with him.<\/p>\n<p>He gracefully smiles, &#8220;Jonathan Kerr. I just came to Country Z three months ago and bought a few companies. I got the invitation and come for a look.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When he says, &#8220;I bought a few companies.&#8221; His tone is as relaxed as he bought something not worth mentioning at all. Lily doesn&#8217;t know what to say for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it is like buying foods for rich people.<\/p>\n<p>Lily gives a smile, &#8220;Mr. Jonathan is quite confident.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just came for a look.&#8221; His meaningful gaze keeps focusing on Lily, &#8220;I guess that the HZ Group will win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lily subconsciously frowns and feels uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>The man is gentleman, elegant and charming, but his eyes make her tremble. She feels that she is being stared at by a poisonous snake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2179","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
