Chapter 597 "No way. Are you that confident, Mister Penn?" Ezra thought that Wilbur was a young and competent man because he was the boss of Cape Consortium. That was no easy feat.
However, businessmen meant nothing to those in power. Moreover, Cape Consortium was an overseas enterprise. They had a new branch in Eagle City, but it would not change the situation.
The Yveses would benefit more if Faye were married to the Yaegars, compared to marrying the boss of Cape Consortium.
It was only a matter of time for the

The Yveses would eventually become the top family in Eagle City. Would that not be much better for the Yveses than marrying Wilbur? However, Wilbur smiled and said, "We'll see. No one can stop me, and no one can force Faye." "You have guts, and I'm very impressed by that, but you better be careful," said Ezra.
Wilbur replied, "Thanks for looking out for me. I'll remember it." "Alright, I'll leave you guys to figure it out. I have work in the afternoon, so I'll be taking my leave." Ezra got up to leave. Wilbur and Faye said goodbye and went back to their
room. She asked anxiously, "What should we do?" "There's nothing to be afraid of because I'm here. You should just celebrate your grandfather's | birthday," Wilbur reassured Faye.
Faye had no choice but to rely on Wilbur.
After that, they went out to shop for some expensive gifts. They planned to go to Faye's house the following day.
The birthday party was happening tomorrow anyway, so they were in no hurry. Faye was also worried that Wilbur would be picked on if they went back early. She did not want them to be upset, so she decided to stay at the hotel for the moment.
Wilbur and Faye arrived at the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel and enjoyed a candlelight dinner in the evening.
They had steak and wine under the candlelight, exchanging conversations in whispers from time to time. All in all, it was a rather wholesome and peaceful meal.
There was a young man in his twenties near them. He looked like a troublemaker and had a luxury brand suit on. He was also dining with a woman. All the while, he was looking at Faye and Wilbur with a puzzled look.

Soon, he received a reply. He read it
and felt his expression stiffen up right after. He told his date, "You should eat.
I have some work to do." "What are you doing? You finally have the time to accompany me for dinner.
Are you busy again?" The beautiful woman seemed displeased. She was considered a celebrity and had been quite popular recently.
However, the man said in a low voice, "This is men's business, so stop nagging." The celebrity instantly shut up obediently. She sat down with a pitiful look, but the man ignored her. He wiped his mouth with a napkin, then approached Wilbur and Faye.
"Miss Yves?" asked the man while smiling.
Faye looked up, frowning. Then, she smiled and said, "Oh, it's you, Mister Clark. What a coincidence." "Yeah. This is truly a coincidence." Then, he sat next to them confidently.
Faye introduced him by saying, "This is Xaron Clark from one of the three major families in Eagle City. He's very famous. This is my boyfriend, Wilbur Penn."
