Chapter 531

“I don’t want to go out alone.” “What about your friends and girlfriends?” “They all have boyfriends. I don’t want to be a third wheel.” “Why don’t… I take a walk with you outside?” “Alright, alright!” Celia said happily. “Are you going to wear this?” “You can come in and sit first. I’ll change and be right back.” Celia turned around and left in a hurry after speaking. Afterward, she went upstairs to change. It was evident that she had been extremely bored staying at home. It had been almost a week since David left suddenly after receiving the phone call. Although they chatted every day, how could it compare to seeing each other in the flesh? Meanwhile, her mother Mindy would nag her almost every day. She kept asking questions such that Celia was getting a little annoyed. She did not want to disturb David’s work.

David entered the hall and was relieved to see Celia go upstairs.

This is a sin. This is a sin,’ David thought to himself.

However, he felt that something was not right immediately after. ‘I’m not a f*cking monk, so why should I feel guilty?’ After barely suppressing the throbbing in his heart, David wondered if he could find a time to indirectly test Celia’s reaction. It was not good suppressing himself all the time anyway.

He was about 22.

He was almost at the legal age of marriage for a man, but he was still a virgin.

He was embarrassed to even say it out loud.

He was the founder of East League Capitals, a trillion-dollar company.

He was also one of the eleven MPs of the Somerland Parliament.

He was even a God Rank guardian, and yet, he was still a virgin. The others would make fun of him if they ever found out. While David was fantasizing about how if Celia did not resist, he could do unspeakable things to her, Celia came downstairs after changing. David observed Celia from head to toe.

This was the first time he had looked at Celia from such an appreciative point of view. She was wearing a short white skirt and a pair of knee-high socks, exposing a small portion of the skin on her thigh. It had to be said that Celia was top-notch in every aspect, if not, she would not be regarded as the most beautiful girl from high school to university. This was even in a top global university like Greenwood University.

All of the kids from rich families and kids from aristocratic families were competing for her. Yet, if she were to be compared to Lorraine, those two were polar opposites. One was a pretty and pure girl next door while the other one was an ethereal and mature fairy with a hot body.

The two had their own set of traits but one could not deny that they were the types that would capture the hearts of both the young and the old. Lorraine had the temperament of a fairy, making men want to dominate her more. However, David still liked Celia more.

Chapter 532

“What’s wrong? Do I not look good in this?” Celia walked up to David, saw David staring at her intently, and asked with a slight blush. “Good! You look good,” David said quickly “Really?”

Celia said and turned twice in front of David. Her short skirt swayed slightly, making David’s heart jump “You look really pretty. Let’s go! Have you not gone out these days?”

“Yeah, I haven’t been out for several days.” The two then drove to the downtown area.

“Let’s find a place to eat first,” David said.

“Alright.” “You should know where to find good food here, right?” “There is a pretty good place nearby. My girlfriends and I used to eat there often.” “Show me the way then.”

“Go straight and then turn left at the second junction.” David drove under the guidance of Celia and arrived at the door of a luxuriously decorated hotel.

After parking the car, the two entered the hotel together. “Hello, may I know how many of you are here?”

As soon as they entered the door, a waiter came up and asked.

“Just the two of us. Is there a private room?”David asked.

“I’m sorry, Sir. The private rooms are all fully booked. Is it okay if you dine in the lobby?” “It’s fine.”

The waiter took the two to find a seat by the window. Then, the two sat down. After Celia ordered, the waiter left.

It did not take long for the dishes to arrive. The two chatted while eating. “Celia?” While they were eating, they heard a voice next to them. When they lifted their heads, they saw a stylish young woman standing behind Celia.

“Lilith! W-Why are you here?” Celia asked.

“I wanted to ask you the same question. No wonder you didn’t want to come out with us after we invited you out! It seems that you’re dating,” Lilith exclaimed.

“Lilith, it’s not what you think!” Celia said, her face turning red.

“Be honest, when did you two start dating?” “W-We..” Celia looked at David, stammering a little. “Fine, I’m not going to interrogate you anymore.” After Lilith finished speaking, she said to David, “Hey handsome, what’s your name? Who are you to Celia?”

“Hello, my name is David and I’m Celia’s boyfriend.” David replied with a grin.

“David, right? Be honest, how did you manage to con Celia? So many of the people in our circle are interested in her, I didn’t expect an outsider to be quicker than them,” Lilith said. “We haven’t been together for too long. However, we knew each other since a long time ago,” David said.

“David, since you got our princess, you should do something for us.”

“What should I do then?” David asked.

“Well, I’ll invite everyone from our circle tomorrow and we can get to know each other. We’ll do it at the Longevity Club, what do you think?” Lilith asked. “Of course!” David answered.

“It’s settled then. Celia, I’ll call you tomorrow. Have fun eating.”

Lilith turned around and left after she said that. Celia had a boyfriend.

This was a huge piece of news that would shock their entire group. Hence, she quickly called her other girlfriends to discuss how to get a free meal out of David.

“David, I’m so sorry. That’s how Lilith is,” Celia said, feeling a little apologetic.

“It’s fine. It’s good meeting your friends. Besides, I have to claim ownership too, right? Eat your food. After we’re done, we’ll go shopping,” David smiled and said. “Okay!”

After they finished eating, David shopped with Celia the entire afternoon and ] bought a lot of clothes.

‘It’s truly a woman’s nature to shop.’

Halfway through, Mindy called Celia and asked where she was. After she learned that Celia was with David, she stopped asking. When the two went back home, Mindy and her husband were home.

“Mom, Dad!” Celia called out happily.

“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Young,” David also greeted. “Hello, David is here. Put away the things and get ready for dinner. We’re waiting for you two,” Mindy said.

“Alright, Celia, where should I put these clothes?” “Help me carry them to my room.”

After Celia said that, she ran upstairs. David looked at Mindy and her husband. When he saw that they were not reacting, he carried the two bags of things and followed Celia upstairs.

When he was in Celia’s room, he was overwhelmed by a sea of pink.

This was the room of a girl who had not yet grown up.

This was also the first time David had come here.

After he put the two bags away, he saw Celia changing her shoes on the bed.

However, since the socks were a little tight and they were a little hard to remove, Celia took some effort to remove them.

“Let me help you.”

David walked over, knelt, grabbed one of Celia’s legs that were still wearing the sock, and then helped her remove the sock.

After he removed the sock, he was met with a long, soft, and malleable leg. David was slightly reluctant to put her leg down. However, he soon removed the other sock as well. “It’s done.” David lifted his head to look at Celia. He immediately spotted Celia’s red face. Even her had turned pink. “T-Thank you,” Celia murmured.

This was the first time she had let another man touch her leg. “It’s fine. Let’s go. Your mom and dad are still waiting for us to go down and eat.”

After David said that, he was about to turn around to leave.

He did not dare to continue staying here.

Right now, Celia was too seductive.

He was worried that he would not be able to hold himself back.

However, Celia stopped him before he could turn around.

“David,” Celia lifted her head to call out to David.

“Yeah? What’s wrong?” David asked curiously.

“You… You… Close your eyes first,” Celia said coyly, her face red.

The two of them looked deeply at each other.

However, David could not hold himself back from those beautiful big eyes and delicate face. Hence, he quickly closed his eyes, if not, he would lose control. He soon heard some sounds coming from the bed.

After this, David felt a pair of soft and malleable small hands touching his face. Then, a sweet scent entered David’s nose before he felt some warmth and wetness on his lips. Even though David was still a virgin, he knew what was happening despite not having the experience. He was being forcefully kissed by Celia. He had been holding himself back, but now, he was completely turned on.

Chapter 533  

When he felt the warmth and softness on his lips, David’s brain stopped working.

However, he quickly came back to his senses. It had been very difficult for him to hold himself back today, and now Celia dared to do this.

Was she not inviting trouble by doing that?

At that moment, David lost control.

He reached out his arms to hold Celia’s soft and malleable body.

Celia’s bed was a little high, so she was about David’s height now that she was kneeling on the bed.

Just now, she kissed David because she was being impulsive.

She wanted to leave after kissing him, but she did not think that David would hug her. Right now, she was very nervous and did not know what to do.

Thus, she simply let David hold her like this as the two experienced the kiss quietly.

After more than ten seconds, Celia suddenly came back to her senses and pushed David away forcefully. Then, she jumped down from the bed barefooted and fled.

All

As she ran, she said, “D-David, I’m going downstairs. If not, my mom will come upstairs.” David watched as Celia ran away. He was still reminiscing the sweetness in Celia’s mouth.

After he came back to his senses, he chuckled bitterly and shook his head.

When he walked to the stairs, Mindy started calling from downstairs. “David, get ready for dinner.”

“Alright, Mrs. Young,” David answered as he walked downstairs.

When Celia saw David, she lowered her head quickly and did not dare to look at him.

David and Celia’s family chatted as they ate.

“David, I heard East League Capitals got into some trouble in Capital City. Were you handling this for the past few days?” Mindy asked.

Mindy paid attention to David’s company. After all, he was her future son-in-law.

Besides, Beautylish was developing well after relying on the partnership with East League Capitals.

The development of East League Capitals would not only affect her daughter, but it would also affect the future development of Beautylish.

Thus, she had to pay attention to that.

“I guess,” David replied.

He could not say that he had been to Mason’s place these past few days in case he scared this family.

It should be better to hide some parts of his identity.

Could a normal person meet someone like Mason?

The people who would be summoned by Mason were all the top in Somerland.

“How’s it going now?”

“It’s solved, Mrs. Young.”

“That’s good.”

After Mindy said that, she asked curiously, “Who did you offend?”

“Mrs. Young, we didn’t offend them. East League Capitals has always been competing with our rivals with means that are acceptable within the industry. However, the other party is a local force in Capital City and they thought that they could bully us since we’re not from here. Hence, they used some shameful methods to try to make us give in. Whenever we encounter this kind of situation, of course, we’ll take strong measures against it,” David explained.

“Who are they?” Mindy continued asking.

“Gooding Group,” David answered. ‘Gooding Group?’

Mindy and Jon shuddered. Then, they quickly lifted their heads to look at each other in shock.

They had been staying in Capital City for decades, so they knew the hierarchy in Capital City pretty well.

Gooding Group was one of the most powerful companies in Capital City.

Even though they were only a group, they were low profile. Hence, their true power was that of a conglomerate.

Furthermore, the Gooding family, one of the top four prominent families in Capital City, was behind Gooding Group.

The Gooding family was several levels superior to the Chasez family from the last incident.

Now, David’s East League Capital was having a conflict with the Gooding family’s Gooding Group.

‘W-What should we do?’

The two were a little anxious.

If something happened to David’s company, their daughter Celia would not have a day of nosce in her life in the future. Moreover, Beautylish’s development would also be restricted.

‘Wait.’

They seemed to miss out on something.

Chapter 534  

David seemed to say that he had taken care of the problem just now.

‘Is that… possible?’

The two were in disbelief.

The Gooding family was not the same as the Chasez family.

They were the true elite aristocratic family in Capital City.

Old Master Gooding was a true top-level big shot in Somerland.

“U-Um… David, did you just say East League Capitals got into trouble with Gooding Group and now it’s been taken care of?” Mindy asked, her mouth a little dry.

“Yeah, it’s been taken care of. East League Capitals is developing normally and we have been competing with others amicably, but the Gooding family used some shameful means to try to stifle our growth. Evil will never win against justice. So, the Gooding family has already apologized to East League Capitals,” David said casually.

What David said caused Mindy and Jon to be so shocked that they were speechless for a very long time.

Gooding Group was well-known to be very overbearing in Capital City, so would they really apologize? Besides this, he claimed that evil would never win against justice?

What complete nonsense!

In this day and age, anyone with strong connections and a strong background would be the boss.

There was only one possibility if they wanted the Gooding family to apologize. It was to be a stronger force than them so that they had no choice but to give in.

Since David could get them to apologize , Mindy and Jon were even more certain that David’s background was not that simple.

Even though David’s parents had passed away, a person’s background might not come from their father’s family.

Anything that they could utilize could be regarded as their background.

At the same time, Jon and Mindy started to feel worried.

Since David had this kind of background, would their daughter be a suitable match for him?

Even though Celia was great in every aspect, what David displayed right now could not be described as excellent anymore.

The two of them looked at Celia, who was eating with her head lowered, and they sighed in their hearts.

‘She’s our silly daughter indeed. Why is she not holding onto this man tighter?

‘She’s still so thoughtless and did not want to ask anything.

‘Who would she cry to if David got away one day?

‘No. Since she’s shy and is too embarrassed to say anything, then as her mother, I’ll help her.

‘Once the two had a child, Celia can basically lock down David.’

Mindy decided that if Celia did not say anything later, she would say it.

She had to lock down David no matter what.

The family continued to eat.

Throughout dinner, Mindy made eyes at Celia a few times, but Celia pretended like she did not see it.

Celia’s face had been red the whole time since they came downstairs earlier.

Mindy knew her daughter was shy but they had been together for so many years and they had done everything before, so it was a little too late to feel shy now, right?

Mindy was disappointed that Celia was not living up to her expectations.

Celia knew why Mindy kept making eye contact with her.

She knew Mindy wanted her to ask David to move in with them or suggest that she could move out to stay with David.

However, she still had not calmed herself down after what happened between her and David just now.

How would she have the nerve to ask him about that kind of thing?

It would make her look like a bitter recluse. She could not do it!

Chapter 535

Celia did not do anything even after they finished the meal. She only lowered her head to eat.

This enraged Mindy a little. ‘What’s going on with this girl?

‘She promised me the last time!’

After they chatted for a while, David felt that it was almost time to go and he was about to leave after bidding farewell.

“David, you’ve been with Celia for so many years and it’s pretty troublesome for you to keep going back and forth. Just move in with us next time,” Mindy said.

“Huh?”

David could not register what was going on at that moment and he felt a little confused.

“Why? Are you not willing to?” Mindy asked with a frown.

“N-No!” David quickly denied it.

How would he be unwilling to do this?

David turned his head to look at Celia.

She was sitting on the sofa and her head was lowered, she looked a little restless.

‘What’s going on? ‘Celia is not rejecting this! ‘So is she tacitly agreeing to this?’

David was excited.

‘Did they plan this?’

Celia lifted her head to peek at David. This whole time, he had been staring at her, and at that moment, she felt as if her face was on fire. She could not stand this atmosphere so she quickly got up and said, “II-I’m going to bed.”

After she said that, she ran upstairs quickly.

At this moment, Celia felt as if her face was burning.

Her mother said it!

‘What am I going to do now?

‘Will David say yes?

‘What if he agrees?

‘Should I lock the door?

‘He’ll be mad if I lock the door, right?

‘If he doesn’t agree, does it mean he doesn’t like me?

‘What should I do then?’ Celia was starting to overthink it.

Her mind was a mess.

She hoped David would agree, but at the same time, she was scared that he would not.

The three of them watched as Celia left.

“If you don’t have anything going on tonight, you can just stay here. It’s pretty troublesome to keep going back and forth,” Mindy said again.

“Um… Okay!” David answered inarticulately.

At this moment, he was overjoyed inside.

This was the first time David felt that his mother-in-law was amazing.

She was so supportive!

His dissatisfaction toward Mindy back then vanished in an instant right after Mindy said that.

David never thought that although his mother-in-law was very snobbish, she was pretty great when it mattered.

Meanwhile, Celia had just left, so even though David was anxious, he still held himself back.

‘I’ve held myself back for so many years, so it’s fine to hold on a little longer.’

Then, he continued to talk to Mindy about Beautylish and East League Capitals.

However, his heart was focused on Celia the entire time.

After a while, Mindy and Jon were ready to go to bed.

“David, you should rest early,” Mindy said after she left.

“Alright, I will. Mrs. Young, you guys should go rest,” David answered.

Right now, he was a little nervous and also a little excited. Even though he was in his twenties, this was his first time after all.

He had never reached this stage back during the three to four years he had been with Sarah.

* Even though he proposed this, Sarah did not agree.

Whenever he heard his roommates talk about this, he would be so envious.

After calming himself down, David secretly cheered himself up.

He was a God Rank guardian after all, so why should he be so nervous about this trivial matter?

This would be embarrassing to the other God Rank guardians.

After he got up and switched off the light in the living room, he went upstairs and arrived at the door to Celia’s room.

Chapter 536

David was going to knock  On second thought, he changed his mind.

Celia was too shy to open the door.

‘I’ll just go right in!’

David put his hand gently on the door handle and gently pulled it down.

Crack!

The door opened.

It was pitch black

David walked into the room.

He closed the door behind him and locked it.

The room was so dark that he could not see anything.

David released a little mind power and went to the window of Celia’s room.

He pulled the curtains apart.

With the help of the faint moonlight, David sat by the bed.

Celia seemed to be fast asleep.

However, David noticed that her beautiful lashes were fluttering slightly.

David found it funny.

The girl was pretending to be asleep.

However, come to think of it, Celia would be lucky to fall asleep in this situation.

David leaned down only a few centimeters from Celia’s gorgeous face. Her rosy red lips and beautiful big eyes closed tightly while her lashes fluttered slightly. He could even feel Celia’s hot breath.

Unable to control himself anymore, David kissed Celia’s rosy red lips, quickly conquering them and savoring the sweetness.

The moonlight outside the window seemed to know that it should not see what was going to happen next as it quietly hid in the clouds.

The room plunged into darkness.

It was a sleepless night…

When David woke up the next day, he looked at the sleeping beauty asleep on his arm.

He felt pride.

Celia was finally his.

MAN

Gently moving Celia’s head away, David got out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs to find that Mindy and her husband had already left the house.

He went to the kitchen and started making breakfast.

Soon, a delicious breakfast made of love appeared.

He brought the breakfast to the room, sat down at the bedside, and said, “Celia! Get up for breakfast!”

However, Celia did not respond.

“Stop pretending to be asleep! I know you’re awake!” David said with a smile.

Only then did Celia unwillingly open her eyes.

“Get up and eat something!

“Okay!”

Celia sat up and took the breakfast David was holding.

David looked at Celia’s baggy pajamas, feeling tempted again.

Celia looked up to see David’s passionate eyes staring at her and blushed slightly.

David kissed Celia on the forehead and said, “There there! Eat first! I have to go out and take care of something. I’ll see you at noon!”

He had one last set of medicine to prepare for Mason.

He could not delay it!

“Okay!” Celia nodded.

David went out and drove to Mason’s place.

Once he reached Mason’s place, he pushed the door open and went in.

Mason was already exercising in the yard, and Julia was also there.

David came a little late today.

“David’s here!” Mason greeted.

“Old Master Stefani, I got caught up in something today. I’ll go prepare your medicine now,”

David said sheepishly.

“It’s alright!” Mason said with a smile.

Once he reached the room, David skillfully began to brew the medicine.

It was not long before the medicine was ready.

David took the medicine out so Mason could take it, cleaned up the room, walked out, and said, “Old Master Stefani, you’ll recover after taking today’s medicine, so I’ll stop coming over from tomorrow onward.”

“Thank you for all the hard work these days, David!” Mason said gratefully.

“It’s nothing! It’s my duty!”

“Come and see me sometime! Also, contact me if anything happens. I might be old, but I might be able to help.”

“Got it, Old Master Stefani. I gotta go now!”

“Sure! Julia, see David to the door!”

“Okay, Great-grandpa!”

Julia accompanied David out of the house.

David did not notice the hint of reluctance in Julia’s eyes.

Chapter 537

After taking care of the thing with Mason, David drove back to Celia’s house.

He planned to go back to South River Province today, but his plan did not consider the new developments.

‘I can’t just leave after doing that to Celia last night!

‘I’d better stay with Celia for a few days before going back!’

He returned to Celia’s home. He had left home a little late, went to work at Mason’s place for a while, such that by now it was already noon.

After entering the house, he found that Celia was not up yet. Therefore, David went into the kitchen to cook.

Cooking was no difficulty for David, who had been independent since young, and soon a table of delicious food was prepared.

David went upstairs to get Celia for lunch. Upon entering Celia’s room, he found that the girl was still sound asleep. He sat by Celia’s bed and watched Celia as she slept soundly.

David could not help himself again.

He lay down quietly…

“Hmm? David, you’re back? I’m so sleepy! Let me sleep some more!” Celia murmured as she squinted at David.

“Go to sleep! Go to sleep!” David comforted her.

After a long time…

David and Celia were eating at the table.

Celia ate with her head down.

Her beautiful face was red.

David looked amused and wanted to tease her.

Therefore, he said, “Celia!”

“Hmm?” Celia looked up at David.

“Did you sleep well last night?” David asked.

“Huh? Yes! No! No! That’s not right! I… I don’t know!” Celia replied incoherently.

“Haha…” David could not help laughing when he saw Celia’s reaction.

“David! You… You… You… You’re mean!” Celia said with her beautiful face red.

“Alright! Alright! I’ll stop teasing you. Hurry and eat! Your bestie Lily is going to call later.” “Okay!”

After they finished eating, David cleared the table and watched TV with Celia.

David sat on the couch while Celia sat next to him resting her head on his shoulder. David had one arm wrapped around Celia.

Although they had established a relationship some time ago, they were never this intimate.

After last night, they were as close as they could get.

Celia was a little shy.

However, David was her man now.

The two also shared the most intimate relationship.

She enjoyed leaning on David.

Neither of them was in the mood to watch TV.

Time passed slowly…

A ringtone brought them back to their senses.

Celia’s phone rang.

It was from her best friend, Lily.

“Celia! We’ve already notified everyone. But should we go somewhere else? Is your boyfriend okay with it? The Great Wall Club has food and entertainment, but it’s a bit expensive,” Lily asked on the phone.

She casually mentioned the place yesterday, but it seemed a little hasty in hindsight.

The Great Wall Club was one of the top three clubs in Capital City, which gathered the members of Capital City’s high society. A dozen guests would spend at least a million dollars there.

Besides, Celia had a boyfriend now, which was bound to raise a few eyebrows. If someone tried to piss David off, they could probably spend millions of dollars.

It would be a shame if he could not afford it.

They could afford millions of dollars, but it was still a lot of money.

“It’s okay, Lily! The Great Wall Club it is! We’ll be right there,” replied Celia.

She knew how rich David was. He could even purchase The Great Wall Club, let alone spend one night there. However, this was only if someone wanted to sell it.

“Really? Do you want me to make a reservation? I have friends who know someone there. It should be cheaper that way,” said Lily.

“We don’t need to change locations ! Just make the reservation ! We’re not familiar with the process,” Celia said confidently.

“Okay! I’ll call you later!” Lily hung up after that.

“David! Let’s go! They’re about to set out!” Celia said.

“Okay! But I’m not going to get hit, am I?”

“Why would you get hit?” Celia asked in confusion.

“I bet there are some guys among your friend group. They’ll think I’ve stolen the princess and won’t go easy on me!”

“What’s it got to do with them? I’m only friends with them! You’re my hubby!”

“Then call me Hubby!”

“No!” Celia said a little coyly.

They were lovey-dovey with each other for a while before heading out and driving to Longevity Club.

Celia got a call from Lily on the way. She had made reservations at Longevity Club’s dining immediately after the call-private room No.138.

The Great Wall Club

One of the top three clubs in Capital City.

T of T Faction, Stan was the one who had built it..

The Warner family was also one of Capital City’s top four prominent families.

Having such a powerful backer also made the Great Wall Club one of the top three clubs in Capital City

Each of the top three clubs in Capital City had their own characteristics, and each club targeted different groups.

The Great Wall Club focused on young people. Most of the people who came here were in their 20s and 30s, namely the second and third generations.

Wonder Club focused on middle-aged and old people, who were successful people over 50 years old. Most of its members were the parents of The Great Wall Club’s members.

The Pretty Lady Club focused on Capital City’s rich wives of all ages, but the women who could become its members were all either wealthy or aristocratic.

Of course, the division here was not absolute.

It only represented the majority of its guest.

After all, the purpose of the clubs was also to make money and build connections.

As long as you were capable, any of the clubs would welcome you.

By the time was about to arrive at The Great Wall Club. Private room No. 138 in The Great Wall Club’s dining area was already occupied by more than ten people.

There were more women than men!

There were also seemingly two or three couples.

Celia’s circle was mostly made up of girls. These men were either friends or boyfriends of her best friends.

She knew very little of them.

She had no interest in these men either.

Chapter 538

Private room No. 138 in The Great Wall Club’s dining area.  

“Lily! Is it true that Celia has a boyfriend?” One of the girls asked.

Her question instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the private room.

“Of course, it’s true! I saw Celia dining with a handsome young man yesterday,” Lily said confidently.

“Dining together doesn’t necessarily mean he’s her boyfriend, does it?” Another man asked.

“Yeah! Friends can dine together too. Lily, aren’t you making it a big deal out of it?”

“I went and asked myself! The handsome guy admitted it, and Celia didn’t object! Don’t you know Celia? If he was a friend, she wouldn’t dine alone with him, let alone tacitly admit that they’re a couple,” said

Lily.

They thought it was possible once she put it that way!

Celia might be gentle, but that depended on what aspect they were discussing. She was serious about her relationships and would not joke about it.

“What’s the man’s name?”

“David Lidell, I think!” Lily replied.

“David Lidell? Do any of you know this man?”

Everyone shook their heads!

“There’s no one with the last name Lidell in our circle! But I heard Celia’s mom set her up with a guy with the last name Houston before! I think he’s called Joshua Houston.”

“I know the Houston family! They’re a powerful family! I heard they have tens of billions of dollars in assets!”

Were they that powerful?

Everyone was shocked!

“But isn’t the man’s last name Lidell? What’s that got to do with the Houston family?”

“They’re probably not the same guy!

“Celia and the guy will be here soon! Just ask her later! Go easy on her. We don’t know what’s going on with that David either! Celia might even have to end up settling the bill if things go wrong. He seems to me like a boytoy. At the very least, he’s more handsome and charming than everyone here,” said Lily.

“Is he that handsome? A girl’s eyes sparkled as she asked.

“Absolutely! And he’s not only handsome, but he’s also charming! He’s the best-looking man I’ve ever seen. I’d keep him around if it were up to me,” Lily said a little infatuatedly.

“What’s the use of being handsome? He’s probably just a boytoy. How could Celia like such a man?” A man said jealously.

“He’s easy on the eyes! He’s good-looking! You’d feel proud going out with him.”

“Are looks all that matter to you girls?”

“You talk as if you guys aren’t the same.”

The people in the private room eagerly talked about Celia and David.

Private room No. 3 in The Great Wall Club’s dining area.

Twenty or thirty people were also dining here.

These were the top core members of T Faction. Except for Mr. Stan, the other core members were all there.

It was T Faction’s internal reception feast!

The star of the feast was Jeremy, who had just been rescued by Lorraine a few days ago.

Jeremy was also a senior member of T Faction, second only to the eight great fighters within T Faction.

Three years ago, he was imprisoned for offending Tanya. His grandfather, Jim, was now paralyzed in bed and even Stan could not have saved him.

However, he was having the time of his life since he came out the other day. Tanya came over and apologized while kneeling.

The Gooding family was powerful!

Neither of them could afford to offend them. They were on the same level as the Warner family Mr. Stan was from.

Chapter 539

They were one of Capital City’s top four prominent families.  

Now that Ms. Lovewood, Jeremy’s sister, was back, even the Gooding family had to keep a low

profile.

It was a big eye-opener for everyone!

Everyone knew the Lovewoods were on the rise.

Therefore, no one dared to miss the reception banquet.

“Today is a great day for T Faction. After T Faction recently lost two fighters in a row, we finally got some new blood. Let’s give Jeremy a toast!” One of T Faction’s eight great fighters, Chase, got up and exclaimed.

Once he spoke, everyone got up and raised their glasses.

“Cheers!”

“Thank you for your support! It’s been three years! Thank you for remembering me!” Jeremy said emotionally.

After three years of being locked up, he had become more mature and less showy than before.

“Jeremy, we’re ashamed that we didn’t help much! Please forgive us!” Fellow fighter Jay Dingle said.

“Jay, don’t say that! I understand! Tanya’s target was myself. Besides, with the Gooding family’s influence, even T’s couldn’t do anything. Anyone who dared to speak up for me would have suffered the same fate as me,” said Jeremy.

He knew that T Faction was founded for interest.

Forget about him. Even if Mr. Stan were in trouble one day, these guys would simply go their separate ways.

Loyalty was not something they clung to. After all, everyone had families.

If they were not careful, their whole family would be dragged down.

“It’s great that you understand, Jeremy! T Faction is famous, but besides Stan, we’re no match for these elite aristocratic families!”

Jay said emotionally.

“Let’s stop talking about these! I’d like to thank you all for organizing this banquet for me. If you ever need me, I’ll do my best to help. Here’s to you.”

Jeremy gulped down the glass of wine he had just filled once he finished speaking.

Those present also took another drink.

“Jeremy! We’re not the only ones coming this time. Mr. Stan will be here later! And he has a big announcement,” said Chase.

“Mr. Stan’s coming too?” Jeremy asked with a look of surprise on his face.

Mr. Stan of T Faction was a legend.

Although Jeremy was imprisoned for three years and T Faction failed to rescue him, it did not affect Mr. Stan’s status in his heart.

If he had to pick anyone to be his brother-in-law, Mr. Stan would be his first choice.

However, something unexpected seemed to have appeared. His sister’s seniors from her sect also seemed to have a crush on her.

Besides that, they were good to him!

He heard from his sister that they were also terrifyingly strong.

However, he still preferred Stan.

After all, he knew Stan the best, and Stan had given him a lot of help.

“Mr. Stan told me earlier that he would make time to visit today, and he also has an important announcement about T Faction to make,” said Chase.

“Why don’t we wait until Mr. Stan arrives?” Jeremy asked.

“No! Mr. Stan says he has limited time so he won’t dine with us. He’s just coming over to see you and make the announcement!”

“I’ll thank Mr. Stan for his kindness then! Let’s dig in!” Jeremy said.

Everyone sat down and began the meal.

They ate and talked…

Someone also started giving toasts.

Chapter 540

“Jeremy! What’s the name of your sister’s sect? They’re so powerful that the Gooding family had to keep a low profile and apologize to you!” Chase puzzledly asked Jeremy, who was beside him.

Chase was not the only one curious.

The other T Faction senior core members were curious as they stopped to look at Jeremy and wait for his reply.

Jeremy enjoyed being the center of attention.

After all, he was a young man in his twenties. Although being locked up for three years had considerably matured him, he was still a young man.

“My sister’s sect is called the Krums! It’s one of the most powerful and oldest hidden sects. Even two ordinary elders in the sect are peak Dragon Rankers!” Jeremy said smugly.

“Hsss!”

Everyone present gasped sharply.

They were shocked beyond measure!

Two ordinary elders were peak Dragon Rankers?

How powerful was the Krums?

No wonder elite aristocratic families like the Gooding family gave in and asked Tanya to come over and kneel to apologize.

“Jeremy! Many sects are now looking for partners to help them resurface. The Krums must be preparing to resurface as well, right?”

“Of course! The Krums sent people out to make preparations to help them resurface, and the Krums are partnering with the Lovewoods. When the Krums resurface, the Gooding family will be nothing. They’re only pests compared to the Krums,” Jeremy said proudly.

Everyone knew that the Lovewoods’ rise was unstoppable, and due to this, the way they looked at Jeremy changed.

“Jeremy! I heard your sister, Ms. Lovewood, is beautiful and charming! Hailed as the woman who amazed the world and backed by a powerful hidden sect like the Krums, the Lovewoods may soon become one of Capital City’s elite aristocratic families,” someone said with envy.

“Heard? It’s a fact! Think about it! Could any random person spark a battle between Mr. Stan and

Clinton? Ms. Lovewood is an absolute goddess!”

Everyone fawned over Jeremy, toasting and buttering him up.

He was the center of everyone’s attention.

The T Faction’s fighters were nice to him regardless of their status.

It was because they knew Jeremy’s status was about to change.

Jeremy enjoyed the feeling. While everyone was having a good talk, the private room door opened, and Mr. Stan walked in.

Everybody got up.

They shouted in unison, “Hello, Mr. Stan!”

“Hello. Have a seat, everybody! I just came to see Jeremy and tell you something,” said Stan as he walked in.

Then he glanced around before looking at Jeremy and saying apologetically, “Welcome back, Jeremy! I’m so sorry about what happened to you and the Gooding family! The Warner family was already at odds with the Gooding family, so I could not help you!”

Back in the old days, Stan would not have said that even if Jeremy was Lorraine’s brother.

However, things had changed.

Even the Gooding family had been humbled for the time being, he had no reason to restrain himself.

This was simply a great opportunity to get on the Lovewoods’ good side. After all, Jeremy was the only heir of the Lovewoods.

“You’re too kind, Mr. Stan! You’ve given the Lovewoods so much help. The Lovewoods would not become what we are today without it. I’ll get even with the Gooding family afterward!”

“It’s great that you understand! I have one more announcement to make today. Jeremy will take over as one of T Faction’s eight great fighters, second only to me within T Faction.”

Everyone was unfazed when Stan said this. They seemed as if it was natural next step.

Jeremy’s release made the Gooding family give in. He would have gotten promoted to fighter sooner or later!

It was just a little earlier than they predicted.

“Thanks, Mr. Stan! I, Jeremy Lovewood, will do my best to contribute to T Faction’s development,” Jeremy said excitedly as he got up.

He had been notified in advance.

However, he was still a little excited the moment Stan announced it.
