In the car, the butler didn’t pry into Maggie Shen’s business, serving her politely without being overly fawning.
Maggie leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes as if taking a nap, contemplating what Master Harris wanted to discuss with her.
In fact, she had a pretty good idea of what the meeting would be about.
Most likely, he was talking her into breaking up with Nathael.
However, how the conversation would unfold and what the outcome of the talk would be remained a mystery to her.
Despite having lived for two lifetimes, Maggie had only seen this old man on TV and in magazines, never in person.

Nevertheless, Master Harris had many tricks up his sleeve. He handled everything well, serving as a pillar for the Harrises.
Approximately thirty minutes later, the vehicle arrived at a villa adorned with lush gardens and vast grounds. The interior architecture adhered to the classic palace design.
However, the design incorporated many modern elements and smart technology, blending the best of both worlds.
“Ms. Adam, come with me, please.” The car pulled over, and Maggie got out. It took her a moment to look around.

sculptures of mythical creatures adorned the ridges, while intricate and grand carvings of griffins, dragons, and sphinxes adorned the tower.
It felt as if time had turned back when she stepped into an ancient palace with red walls and green tiles.
At the top of the tower, an old man in a silver robe with cloud patterns was fishing.
He didn’t turn around when he heard the noise, retaining focused on his fishing rod, waiting for a catch.
The estate exuded a grand and imposing atmosphere as several men dressed in black stood at regular intervals around him, with one guard stationed e
Maggie stood several metres behind the old man, watching quietly. Ten minutes later, the water rippled, and the fishing rod twitched. With a swift motion,
A servant quickly stepped forward to take the rod, while the butler handed over a warm towel.
The old man cleaned his hands and then glanced at Maggie, who stood before him.
“Ms. Adam. please take a seat,” he said.
Inside the pavilion, a small tea set was placed on a beautifully crafted table of fine rosewood.
It wasn’t extravagant, but its understated elegance spoke of significant value.
As Master Harris scrutinised Maggie, she too observed him.
The old man stood tall and slim, his head adorned with silver hair. Even at his old age, he seemed full of energy and life, but the most striking feature about him were his eyes.
Because of his age, the skin around his eyes was a bit loose and had lots of wrinkles. His pupils looked a bit cloudy and had a yellowish tint. Still, they h
Master Harris poured a cup of tea for Maggie and spoke warmly, “Try this.” “It’s a fine spring tea–silver pine.
Maggie didn’t refuse him. She took a sip, finding it smooth and aromatic. It was pleasant, leaving a faint fragrance on her lips.
“Master Harris, I doubt you invited me here just for tea,‘ she said, meeting his gaze,
He didn’t waste time and asked directly, “Do you like Nathael?”
Maggie didn’t deny it. She answered, “Yes, I did.”
He nodded and said, “You’re straightforward. Nathael has always been popular with the ladies.”
“He’s exceptional, better than anyone, Maggie replied softly.
The old man laughed heartily and agreed, “Of course! He’s my grandson! How could he be anything less?”
Maggie remained silent, but then Master Harris’s sharp gaze focused on her. He probed, “Ms. Adam, you should know that someone with Nathael’s pote

Maggie looked at him and asked slowly, “What kind of answer, do you want to hear from me?”
The old man chuckled and said, “Ms. Adam, I’m asking you?
Her eyes were clear and calm as she responded, “I have no family, no connections, and no power. But I believe Nathael doesn’t need any of that.”
–Master Harris scrutinised her. His pupils, despite their age–induced cloudiness, remained sharp and piercing.
Maggie continued, “He’s Nathael Harris. He doesn’t need all those things to prove his worth and show his abilities. He has the talent to achieve anything it would just be a matter of time.”
Master Harris chuckled and pointed out, “But ‘time‘ makes all the difference. In the business world, the carlier you seize the opportunity, the more likely y

Master Harris spoke again. “I know you’re extraordinary, but you and Nathael aren’t a good match.”
Maggie had expected this. After a few moments of silence, she argued softly, “You might not agree with us being together, but you can’t decide that we’re match.”
The old man nodded and said, “I’m a businessman. If you have a powerful family or significant resources, you might be a match for Nathael. But you don
