Norman gave a cryptic smile. “It would be interesting if she really became my sister–in–law.”
Ruby grew irritated. “Norman, can you really accept a woman like b

as a part of the Wood family?”
Ruby quickly tried to conceal her feelings. “No! That’s not what I mean. I’m just saying, who would want a used woman like her?”
Norman smirked and replied, “I think she’s not bad at all. Certainly not as bad as how you’re describing
her.”
Ruby was so furious that she was at a loss for words.
Suddenly, she asked, “Could it be that you’re interested in her too?”
However, Norman ignored her question and lazily waved at the young women nearby.
They giggled and walked over, playfully teasing him.
After exchanging a few words, Norman wrapped his arms around one of them and kissed her several
times.
The laughter from the tennis court grew louder.
Ruby was gradually pushed aside, and she only force a smile and gather her tennis gears.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly took out her phone. Then, she ran to the side of the court to make a call.
When she returned, she looked more at ease.
Meanwhile, Norman continued to flirt with the few young women. Their stunning appearances together created a picture perfect scene.
Casually, Ruby said, “Hey, I heard Wanda’s visiting a famous art exhibition in the city tomorrow. There will be a lot of celebrities there. I’m so envious.”
Norman glanced at her and scoffed. “What’s there to be envious about?”
Ruby smiled and replied, “The art exhibition is a great place for networking. Aren’t you tempted to go? You never know what big shots you might run into.”
Norman gave her a faint smile. “I am the big shot. Why do I need to network?”
“I heard that Logan’s going to make an appearance too. I wonder if he’s bringing a date,” Ruby added.
Norman merely glanced at her and turned his attention to a pretty girl nearby. “Come, let’s have a match,” he simply said.
The driver took me to a seaside villa. The scenery was amazing, and the villa was fully furnished. The only downside was the strong winds.
I thought for a moment and asked, “Is this villa for me to stay in temporarily?”

The driver smiled softly. “Yes. Mr. Wood said that this would be a good option if you enjoyed the seal

view. But it’s a bit far from the city, so you’d need a car and a driver.”
What he said made sense.
The driver could sense my hesitation and suggested, “Shall we check out the apartment in the city?”
I nodded.
Half an hour later, I stood on the 23rd floor of a large apartment unit, overlooking the busy city below.
The driver noticed the smile on my face and knew that I liked the place. He smiled and asked, “Shall I Inform Mr. Wood that you prefer this apartment?”
I quickly asked, “How much is the rent here?”
The driver was momentarily caught off guard before he tactfully replied, “This is a high–end apartment building. It is rarely rented out.”
I felt uneasy and said, “I can’t just stay here for free. Please ask Mr. Wood to give me a price. I’ll rent it from him.”
The driver smoothly deflected my request. “Ms. York, Mr. Wood only asked me to show you the properties. You’ll need to discuss the details with him.”
I understood his meaning and nodded in agreement.
After the driver left, I couldn’t contain my excitement any longer. I wandered all over the apartmen
