Chapter 1177:
Cliff answered, “Yes, | drank a lot today because her father was apologizing for your injuries last time. It was
difficult to turn them down given the circumstances.”
Laney silently scolded him for being so ignorant. That wasn’t what she was talking about.
“Was it really an apology or a subtle setup for a blind date?” Laney asked.
Cliff's breath paused for a moment. Previously, when he went on blind dates, he would eagerly share the details
with Laney. Whether she cried or not, it didn’t affect him. Yet now, for sreason, he paused for a moment
before replying, “A blind date.”
Laney felt a stab of sadness. “Did you like her?”
Tears gathered in her eyes and dropped onto Cliff's hand, which pained him deeply.
Cliff gazed at her intently. “No, | had another reason for bringing her tonight.”

Laney showered and, though exhausted and wishing to sleep more, memories from the dinner kept her awake.
Cliff was also awake. He usually needed very little sleep, finding the pre-dawn hours the twhen his mind was

university graduation, Juliet jumped straight into the family business, quickly making a mark with her
achievements.
She discussed the tunnel reconstruction project with Cliff. She had secured the project herself and led the
design, successfully expanding her network while continuing to advance her business interests. Cliff genuinely
complimented her. “Miss Foster, you're even more impressive than | had imagined.”
Juliet valued the compliment, especially coming from Cliff, who was not only handsbut also intelligent,
eager to learn, and ambitious. Curious about him, she asked, “You had a bright future in the military, so why
return to a secondary role in the Hopkins family business? It seems like Gerry is better suited to be the heir.”
Cliff responded, “He's impulsive and struggles to commit.”
