Chapter 1373
Edward kept his head low and fell silent.
When he came out of the reception room, he ran into Lucy and was stunned. “What are you doing here?”
Lucy did not expect to run into her stepfather here at all.
At the same time, Maisie emerged from the reception room. When she saw Edward talking to Lucy, she felt strange, “Mr..

After that, she paused for a few seconds before continuing. “She refuses to listen to me as well. Honestly, Eli just wants recognition from her father.”
Maisie chuckled and said, “I‘m not asking you to persuade her. When a stubborn person is determined to do something, nothing can stop them.”
“Ms. Vanderbilt, I want to help Eli.”
“How do you want to help her?” Maisie lifted her eyebrows.
Lucy thought for a while before saying, “With her ability, she will shine in any company. If she can work in one of the three major IT companies under Blackgold, won‘t she impre
