Chapter 27

Compared to the delightful excursion in Dellmoor, Daniel was having a hard time in Norham

He had agreed to meet Marissa that afternoon.

Previously, he would ignore those who he didn’t want to meet.

However, things were different now.

Katherine might not be related to the Xander family

sacrificed her happiness for the Xander family’s sake.

Thus, he couldn’t allow the company to collapse. He couldn’t marry the loved, so Marissa or any other

woman would do the job.

He resigned to his fate.

However, he was doing this for Katherine, not Gregory.

Right after his mother passed away, Gregory married Lucia, who was heavily pregnant.

Clearly, Gregory and Lucia already had an affair when his mother was still alive.

Hence, he hated his father immensely.

Two years ago, when Xander Group was in danger, Gregory resorted to selling Katherine out to save

himself. His hatred for that ma

promptly heightened after that

He blamed himself for not being capable enough to turn the tables.

Before Daniel left, Gregory reminded him to dress up and treat the lady he was going to meet with

utmost politeness.

Gregory knew how attractive his son was.

However, he was worried about Daniel’s icy demeanor. Daniel treated everyone indifferently and kept a

distance from others instead of allowing them into his heart.

He was also afraid that Daniel would act foolishly and scare Marissa away.

If that were to happen, the Xander family would be doomed.

Marissa was the only hope of Xander Group now.

Meanwhile, Lucia had been waiting at the meeting spot for some time.

Chapter 27

Today’s meeting would decide whether or not she could continue to lead a lavish lifestyle.

Despite hating Daniel, she had to dote on him now.

After waiting for a while, Lucia grew jittery and kept glancing at the door.

Finally, Roxy’s call arrived. She said they had departed and would arrive in around 15

minutes.

Lucia usually acted ferociously like a tigress, so it was rare to see her as meek as a lamb. She kept

glancing at her watch as time ticked by.

Around ten minutes later, she shot Daniel a look and thought, “I’m so anxious, but he’s calm and

collected. I can’t believe he’s playing Legend of Kings!”

Daniel glanced at her and realized she was trying to tamp her irritation down despite wanting to lash

out at him. Strangely, he found that both amusing and satisfying.

Lucia parted her lips to say, “Daniel, Mrs. Falcon just called. I believe they will be here soon. You

should go to the door to welcome them to show our sincerity. That way, Ms. Coleman will have a good

impression of you.”

Daniel mused to himself, “You should feel lucky that I didn’t come to cause a

commotion. Since you’re acting servile, I shall do as told.”

Without saying anything, he pretended not to hear Lucia’s words and went to the door.

Marissa was a bold young lady.

She fell in love with Daniel at first sight and got to know him through her friends.

After that, she gathered a lot of information about him.

However, it was a one-sided crush, for Daniel had never had any feelings for her.

A few years ago, Marissa discovered Daniel had gone overseas to study and followed him all the way

there, much to his surprise.

Nevertheless, Daniel wasn’t a man who’d make do back then.

As a result, Marissa’s efforts moved everyone except for him.

Now, her chance had finally arrived..

It was pretty obvious to her that she was nothing but a pawn.

However, she didn’t mind as long as it meant she could be with him.

That was good enough for her.

When Roxy told Marissa about the meeting, the latter agreed to it without hesitation.

She followed her heart instead of considering her family’s interests.

The Coleman family had always gotten their way in Baykeep.

Besides, Noah and Christopher from Norham were good friends.

Their families were connected to each other and would grow stronger together.

Marissa was dressed extravagantly like a princess, for she loved to imagine she was a princess in a

fairytale.

Today was the day she would meet her knight.

Daniel waited at the door, clad in an elegant tuxedo.

As the car drove toward the café, Marissa immediately spotted the man of her dreams. When the car

rolled to a stop, Daniel stepped forward to open the door for Marissa. As someone of distinguished

status, Marissa always had someone open the door for her. She felt her heart race at the sight of her

beloved knight opening the door for her.

A pretty blush crept up her cheeks like the rosy glow of the dusk.

No one knew when Lucia had come to the door. Seeing their interaction made her more delighted than

them..

“My efforts didn’t go to waste,” Lucia mused happily.

In that case, the matter was already halfway successful.

Right now, she was utterly grateful for Roxy’s help and ended up being more intimate with Roxy than

usual.

Holding Roxy’s arm, she started a casual conversation so things wouldn’t seem awkward.

As Lucia had asked around about everyone’s tastes, she ordered their coffees a while ago.

The four of them took their seats, and the server promptly served them their coffees. Daniel added

some sugar for Marissa naturally, for he knew she had a sweet tooth.

As they were in public, Marissa felt shy but was inwardly elated.

Roxy started lavishing praises on her. “I never knew Daniel could be that caring. Marissa is lucky, huh?”

Lucia nodded vehemently. “He’s usually indifferent. Looks like Ms. Coleman can turn him into a warm

and caring guy.”

Marissa blushed beet red after hearing their words.

Both Lucia and Roxy were good at reading the room, so they decided to stop third- wheeling the

couple.

Lucia parted her lips to say, “Roxy, Joey told me there are some new arrivals in the store. Apparently,

they are designed by a popular designer, so there are only limited pieces available for sale. Why don’t

we head there now? Let’s leave the young couple alone so they can get to know each other in a natural

setting”

She got to her feet and dragged Roxy up so they could leave together.

Indeed, Lucia was smart. She knew what young people nowadays wanted.

Marissa could finally relax after they departed, knowing she held the upper hand this time.

There was no need for her to waste her efforts in pursuing him like how she did back then.

This time, she wanted Daniel to dote on her.
