NovelEnglishChapter 374 Chapter 379 1 smiled helplessly and raised my hand in a vow. "Not a single word, I promise. If I break my word, I'll willingly suffer ten years of misfortune and bad luck!" Jean patted Soleil's shoulder. "Don't worry. I've known her for years. If she has one redeeming quality, it's that she keeps her promises." 1 rolled my eyes at her and feigned anger. "That's my only redeeming quality, huh? I dare you to say that again, Jean!" "Hahaha..." Jean laughed and slappedon the shoulder. Oh! You've got a killer body!" Furious, I chased after her, trying to hit her.
They droppedoff in front of my office building before driving away.
As I turned to head upstairs, my smile faded.
I had always known that being with Soren cwith immense pressure, but hearing it firsthand still made it hard to swallow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI felt a mixture of heartbreak, guilt, and self-bltoward Soren, all tangled with helplessness. After all, there was nothing I could do to change the situation right now.
What could I do? Follow Candy's example and visit the Kerway residence as often as possible? Sweet-talk William and Lisbeth into winning their favor? First, that wasn't me. The thought of endlessly flattering my elders made my stomach churn.
Second, even if I could force myself to do it, would William and Lisbeth buy my act? Would they seeas a greedy woman after their family's fand fortune? Would they seeas an opportunist, trying to curry favor and hold on to Soren after learning I had competition? If they thought that, the more effort I put in, the more disgusted they would be with me.
I wrestled with these thoughts endlessly until 3:00 p.m., when Soren cto pickup for the airport.
The company had arranged two business vans to transport our colleagues, but I got into Soren's car instead of theirs.
Soren introducedto his bodyguard as soon as I settled in "Taylor, this is Sean Claude. He'll accompany you on your trip." The young man driving glanced atthrough the rearview mirror. "Nice to meet you, Miss Jones." "Nice to meet you, too." We had actually seen each other many times before, but this was the first twe were formally introduced.
П Thank you, Sean, Ladded sincerely.

Chapter 379 +25 BONUS As if reading my thoughts, Soren took my hand. "Sean is an orphan. He doesn't have any family and has been spending the Brigidlia Festival with mine all this time." I tumed to look at him, startled, unsure of what to say.
The car fell silent until Soren's phone rang, and he pulled it out to answer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI gazed out the window, not paying attention to his conversation.
But a few stray words caught my ear, pullingback into focus
It sounded like he was talking about Edith.
When Soren hung up, I turned to him. "Did something happen with Edith? Does her family really have that much influence that even you can't keep her in check?" Soren's lips curled slightly as if amused. "Ace said Edith underwent a psychiatric evaluation and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. According to the law, she could be exempt from prosecution because of it." "What?!" I was shocked. "Does she actually have schizophrenia?" "Who knows?" "Who conducted the evaluation? Don't they realize she's in this situation because her family offended you?" asked.
Whoever aided Edith and still chose to help the Kennedys under these circumstances was clearly aligning themselves against Soren "Anything's possible when money is involved. Who knows how much the Kennedys paid to make it happen?" Soren replied coolly, seemingly unfazed.
I frowned, confused. "So you're just going to let this go?" "Relax. I'll have my people investigate the Kennedys and strike back from a different angle."
