Free Web NovelChapter 823: Chapter 427: You Sold Your Friend Again?
Frustrated to the point of wanting to curse, fight, and burn down the lavish mansion, yet she could do nothing. She had to maintain the most beautiful and graceful posture; as the future matriarch of the Hughes Family, she couldn’t afford to lose her manners.
Where has he been staying recently? What kind of woman is accompanying him? For a man like him who indulges in desires, how could he possibly be without a woman? Evelyn bit her lip, twisting her gown almost to the point of tearing. She could only comfort herself; everything would be fine once the child is born.
"Evelyn, you should tell Joshua that Caleb will bring a document to him today to get it signed." Arthur Yates’ voice commanded over the phone.
In his eyes, Joshua Hughes was already the family’s son-in-law, so the Hughes Family’s bank felt like his own. Although the documents he submitted weren’t very complete, approving such an interest-free loan shouldn’t be a problem; the Hughes Family wouldn’t miss a few bucks.
"Dad, I..." Evelyn’s words reached her lips, then she swallowed them again. Her mother is still the same, even though she’s gained some status, she remains in the second branch of the family. If Evelyn couldn’t accomplish even this task, her mother would certainly lose more standing in the family, and her father would never entrust the company to her brother.
Currently, among the siblings, Lucas Yates holds the largest shares. Although he has passed away, Avery Jane inherited those shares. Before the marriage, Lucas Yates prepared all the documents, almost infuriating Arthur Yates. Although Avery insisted on declining, she has become the largest shareholder in the Yates Family, other than Arthur Yates himself. Therefore, she has to fight for her brother and mother.
"Alright, I’ll talk to him." Evelyn reluctantly agreed. Should she truly see Joshua in person? She just received the medical report yesterday; the child is doing well. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to talk to him; she couldn’t just sit idly by.
The long fur coat, the stylish wide-brimmed hat—at a glance, one wouldn’t even notice she’s pregnant. With light makeup, she even felt she looked stunning. Such an outfit should surely appeal to him; as far as pregnant women go, she must be the most beautiful. The driver started the car, the vehicle well-heated. Evelyn spoke like a mistress, "To Joshua’s company."
In the lounge, an ambiguous atmosphere was spreading. Avery thought of herself feeling groggy, with a sore waist and aching legs when called up by his phone...
"Does it feel good?" Joshua’s warm, powerful hands gently massaged down from her neck.
Precious essential oil slowly seeped into the delicate skin of her jade-like back. His hands kneaded her slender yet rounded shoulders just right.
"What is this? It smells so nice." The fragrant aroma wafted from the warmth of Joshua’s hands. Avery lay on the sofa, her eyes half-closed, feeling so comfortable. If one day this man went bankrupt, he’d surely earn well as a therapist. Given his outstanding stamina, many eager women would surely flock to him—it was a daunting thought.
"Rose essential oil." He poured some more from a small bottle on the nearby table, slowly massaging down her back.
This rose essential oil comes from the land adored by rose enthusiasts. Legend has it that when God was distributing lands at the dawn of creation, Bulgarians arrived late and pleaded persistently; thus, God decided to grant them His garden. God’s garden was adorned with roses, giving Bulgaria the most famous roses in the world, among them the renowned Kazanlek’s Rose Valley.
With essential oils abundant everywhere, those truly originating from Kazanlek are now more valuable than gold, especially those from workshops with a hundred-year history, produced in limited and refined quantities. A small 200ml bottle sells for over two thousand five hundred US Dollar on the market—this is genuine liquid gold. Pure essential oils, carefully blended, are perfect for a girl’s skincare.
Joshua realized Avery easily felt fatigued. After playing too wildly yesterday, he worried she couldn’t handle it, so he brought this.
Every inch of her skin is flawless, so fine that no pores are visible; he fondly admired each inch of smooth and delicate skin.
"I heard some essential oils are edible." Avery turned to look at the focused man; he knelt over her, his long legs crossing her hips, attentively massaging her aching shoulders and back.
She relished the massage, until the man’s hands started misbehaving.
