“Besides, he caught a cold just from standing outside for half an hour without his jacket last time. He was only fine because he drank some spicy soup and took some medicine. Also, he has a strong body, because if it were other people, they would’ve fallen sick.“I just wanted to torture him a little. I don’t want him to die. I still need him so I can marry into the York family.”Layla smiled. “The York family has many young masters. It doesn’t have to be him. His cousins are of similar age as you, right?”“Peter is close to my age, but he already has a fiancée. Austin already has an arranged partner too. River and the rest are too young. Even if they were offered to me, I wouldn’t want them. I don’t like being the older one in a relationship.”Rowan was not even a legal adult yet.Layla said, “Okay. Old Mrs. York is a weird lady, but I can’t deny that she has a good eye for people.“I think Dylan isn’t even good enough for you. He can’t win against you in a fight, and his IQ and
Dylan smiled. “Look, Imogen. It’s dark, and it’s time to have dinner. Aren’t you hungry? Why don’t you come out and have dinner with me? I can take you back to the office to continue working afterward. What do you think?“How much work do you have left? I bought two movie tickets. We can go watch a movie after you’re done working.”Imogen rejected him coldly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dylan. I’m not free. I’ll be heading home for dinner after work. Since it’s a rare day where I don’t have to attend an event, I want to have a good rest.”She had already made an appointment with a few of her best friends to go shopping at eight o’clock that night.She had no time to accompany Dylan.How could he think of having dinner and watching a movie together? It had only been one day since he decided to pursue her again.Dylan could dream on.Imogen had not even admitted she was Chameleon Fox. How could she possibly accept him?Did he think she was an easy target?In the past, Imogen had loved him s
“We can talk about this next time. By the way, Layla already left.“I still have some work to do. I’ll hang up now. Don’t call me again even if the world is ending. I’ll hate you if you disturb me and make me work till late at night.”Dylan said, “Okay. I won’t disturb you. Go on with your work. Remember not to exhaust yourself.”Imogen hung up without another word.Before Dylan could even put his phone back into his pocket, he saw a luxury car exiting the parking lot.Since it was past working hours, most employees had already left.That luxury car probably belonged to Layla.Dylan had met members of the Doyle family before. However, he did not have a deep impression of them.Layla Doyle was the president of Davidson Group. Although there was still a board of directors above her, she still called the shots for most matters.Therefore, she was extremely busy. Back when Dylan deliberately approached Imogen and treated her well to pursue her, he had only seen Layla once from afa
Layla scoffed. “Who knows if you’re truly sincere?”“I know you all won’t believe me no matter what I say, Ms. Doyle. I’ll prove that I’m serious about Imogen through my actions.”Dylan spoke with honesty, “If there’s a sliver of possibility that I’m playing around with Imogen’s heart again, you don’t have to teach me a lesson. My family will gladly do the honors. Besides, I’m not that kind of person. Back then, I thought of developing a relationship with Imogen because of Nana’s orders.”“That’s right. You listened to your nana and came to pursue Jen for three months. Jen was young and naive. Just when she started getting attracted to you, you ran away and said you realized you couldn’t fall in love with her.“Is Jen’s love worth so little? Would you even have given an explanation if Jen didn’t go to you for one?“It’s been months since then. Just as Jen has moved on, you reappear and disrupt her peaceful life. You came back to pursue her because you couldn’t get the woman you lo
Imogen enjoyed the time she had spent with Grandma May. Therefore, she did not want to trouble the old lady.“I heard Old Mrs. York is a playful old lady. She loves having fun. She’s very healthy as well. I want to invite her to our place. She’ll be able to witness some interesting scenes.”Imogen replied, “You should unleash your dissatisfaction on Dylan, Layla. Don’t disturb Old Mrs. York. While she’s healthy, she’s already eighty. She shouldn’t travel far distances at her age. We won’t be able to bear the consequences if something happens.”Old Mrs. York was the anchor of the York family.Imogen dared not risk her safety.She liked Grandma May and the Yorks.Her teacher had also said he could be at ease if she were to marry into the York family. If it were any other family, he would be worried about her husband or his family mistreating her.“Does Old Mrs. York know how to use WhatsApp?”“Yes. She’s good with electronic devices.”“Okay. Give me her number. That way, I can g
A few minutes later.Imogen wanted to pretend she could not see the “statue” at the entrance of the company, but Dylan rushed out and blocked her way. Fortunately, she was not driving at a high speed and was able to stop the car immediately.She lowered the car window and scolded, “If you want to die, don’t die under my tires, Mr. Dylan. I don’t want to dirty my tires.”“I’m sorry for choosing such a dangerous way to stop your car, Imogen. However, you wouldn’t have stopped if I didn’t do this,” said Dylan apologetically.“What business do you have?”Imogen took a few deep breaths and added coldly, “It’s late and cold. Why are you standing here? Don’t blame me if you fall sick from the cold. I didn’t order you to stand here.“If you catch a cold, it's your problem. I’ve already said I didn’t need you to treat me to a meal.”Dylan smiled. “Considering that I’ve stood here for so long, will you do me the honor of letting me have a meal with you?”He handed her the frozen bouque
After a moment of silence, Imogen said, “You don’t like spicy food. Even drinking some spicy soup feels like taking poison to you. You don’t have to make yourself suffer. Just go back and never appear before me and my family again.“You’ve never liked me from the start anyway.”The person he loved was Chameleon Fox.Although it was one of her aliases, Imogen still felt that Dylan did not love her.She was probably the only person in the world who was jealous of herself.She raised the window and drove away.Dylan returned to his car and started following Imogen’s car from behind.Imogen initially wanted to go shopping with her friends. Upon seeing Dylan following her, she changed her mind and went home.When they arrived at the Doyles’ mansion, Imogen was able to drive inside while Dylan’s car was denied entry. Luckily, Leticia and the rest were not home.Otherwise, Dylan would be in trouble.He waited in front of the gates for some time. A security guard walked over and kn
However, Zachary was punished the least among the York brothers.He already started behaving like the eldest since he was young. He was calm and composed, unlike his naughty younger brothers. Gramps and Grandma May punished them often. Nevertheless, the York brothers liked being with their grandparents.“Enough of that. Let’s talk about you and Ms. Doyle. Have you wondered why she isn’t admitting that she’s Chameleon Fox? That’s just another alias of hers. Her true identity is Imogen Doyle, a young lady of the Doyle family.“She wants you to fall in love with Imogen instead of treating her as Fox. Although she’s also Fox, that isn’t her original self but simply an identity created through makeup.“If you two were to get married, you’d have to spend the rest of your lives as husband and wife. Ms. Doyle can’t possibly live with you as Chameleon Fox forever. She has already returned to her family. She’s no longer going on adventures with her teacher as Sugar either.“Everyone knows h
