Lynette lowered her head, and Graham replied, “Well, I talked to your mother about it.Actually, we’re not that concerned about getting married.It’s just a useless piece of paper in the end.As long as we are together, it’s fine.”
Danika’s expression became somewhat serious upon hearing this.She looked at the two of them and said, “Are you sure? If this gets out, it might impact Madam Bell’s reputation.”
She was concerned that their relationship would be fundamentally improper and illegitimate if they didn’t get married.
Sleepless Night
“Danika, I don’t care about these things.In fact, I suggested it, “Lynette said.
Although she still loved Graham, she didn’t want to suffer the hardships of marriage all over again.
She felt that being together with Graham like this was good enough, and there was no need to be hung up on any form of legal status to be Graham’s wife.
Since Lynette said so, Danika didn’t push for them to get married and let it go.
“Alright, you guys should decide for yourselves.”
After all, it was their own business, and the days ahead were theirs to live.
As a daughter, she had no right to intervene too much.
The topic ended there.
Graham had originally wanted to ask Danika and Eustace when they planned to get married, as he planned to go traveling around the world after they got married.
But thinking of what Eustace had said in the kitchen earlier, he felt that asking now might be a bit too hasty.
No matter when they got married, Graham and Lynette could always hurry back by that time.
Soon, they were done with the meal.
A harmonious and warm atmosphere lingered around after that.
It gave Danika a sense of being at home, but it was a very weak feeling that disappeared after leaving Zellweger Castle.
“I think your father and mother are still very affectionate toward each other.You don’t have to worry too much,”
Eustace said, looking at Danika and trying to comfort her.
They were in the backseat of the car, and she was leaning on his shoulder.
Danika understood what he meant.
“I know, I’m not worried.I’m happy for them.”
Happy? Eustace couldn’t see any trace of joy on her face.
“Eustace, have you ever thought about what the future will be like?”
Danika suddenly asked as she snuggled deeper into Eustace’s arms.
Eustace was a little taken aback but quickly replied, “I don’t know what the future will be like, but there is one thing I’m sure of—my future will definitely have you in it.”
Danika felt her heart skip a beat at his words.Her lips curled up, and the uneasiness in her heart dissipated a lot.
“Well, that would be nice.”
After returning to the villa, Danika seemed to be drunk as she kept clinging to him, unwilling to let go.
Feeling helpless, Eustace had no choice but to accompany her to bed.
At first, they slept peacefully, but gradually the mood began to change.
“Danika, if you squirm around again, I won’t be able to hold myself back anymore.”
Eustace felt he had already been very gentlemanly and patient, but Danika kept pushing him.
He could barely hold himself back.
Danika looked up, and her lips were just against Eustace’s chin.
* No one’s asking you to hold back…”
She had whispered those words, but Eustace still heard them.
He chuckled lightly and then pressed her down on the bed, “You said it yourself.”
Danika blinked her misty eyes at him in a daze, not realizing how attractive that gaze was to Eustace.
Almost instantly, Eustace lowered his head and bit her lips.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night.
Early in the morning at Quincey Group, Vincent could tell that his boss was in a good mood.
“Mr.Quincey, it seems like the Wardleys are up to something,”
Vincent reported.
At that moment, Eustace had a contented smile on his lips, but that smile disappeared immediately when he heard Vincent’s words.
“The Wardleys? What are they up to?”
“It seems like they have been contacting other families privately, but we don’t know what they’re trying to do yet,”
Vincent answered with a hint of concern.
Ever since he found out that Anthony was now the head of the Wardleys, he felt that the man wouldn’t give up easily and would definitely try to attack Eustace behind his back.
It was something Eustace was well aware of.
“Hmph, I think he’s courting death! Make arrangements to teach the Wardleys a lesson.If they stop what they’re doing, then let them be.But if they don’t, make the Wardleys disappear altogether.”
Eustace now had what it takes to call the shots for such a drastic decision.
Car Accident!
Eustace’s lesson to the Wardleys caused Anthony to suffer a great loss very soon, but he didn’t give up.
On the contrary, he felt dissatisfied and thought he wasn’t inferior to Eustace in any aspect except for his background.
Now that he had caught up in terms of background and status, he was naturally adamant about proving his abilities.
Unfortunately, he overestimated himself in the end.
For a while, everyone in Bardoff City knew that Anthony and Eustace were warring against each other, and it was evident to everyone that Anthony was no match for Eustace.
Looking at how the stock market prices had been tanking continuously for the Wardleys, they would be finished if the situation persisted.
However, since they were a big and prominent family, their fall wouldn’t happen that quickly.
It was just that everyone could foresee that if things continued like that, the Wardleys would be doomed sooner or later.
Before this, Anthony had approached some families, wanting to join forces with them to deal with Eustace.
They were very interested at first, but now all of them didn’t dare to act.
To start off, the Quincey family had long been one of the Ten Elites, and with Eustace’s strong personal abilities, the Quinceys were thriving under his leadership instead of regressing.
At a time like this, no one dared to provoke Eustace.
The board of directors of the Wardleys had just criticized Anthony.
They demanded he cease his confrontation with Eustace and personally apologize in order to minimize the Wardleys’ losses.
Unfortunately, Anthony wouldn’t listen to them.
“Anthony, what should we do now? Are we just going to give up like this?”
Anthony had spent some time in the underworld before the Wardleys brought him back, so he had a few underlings under his command.
After he went back and became a Wardley, he brought his subordinates with him.
They were now his confidants.
Anthony tapped the table, and his expression clouded over.
* Quintus, I’ve encountered a problem now.If I don’t resolve this, I’m afraid my life will be over.Are you willing to help me?”
“My life is yours, Anthony.What can I do to help you? Just tell me.”
Quintus was still very young, barely eighteen.
In his heart, nothing was more important than comradeship and camaraderie.
Anthony smiled, but there was a hidden murderous intent behind it.
On Friday, traffic was exceptionally busy as everyone hurried to get off work as the weekend approached.
