LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

The sudden appearance of Lyvia Harding and Theresa Hale immediately captured the attention of everyone present. Especially Lyvia Harding, dressed in a phoenix-patterned cheongsam with red borders, exuding unparalleled beauty. She seemed like an unmatched queen, overshadowing even the already perfect Theresa Hale.

However, Halbert Chan’s attention was drawn to Lyvia Harding. Despite just being struck by his great-grandfather’s cane, he momentarily forgot the pain on his face when he saw Lyvia Harding. Almost instinctively, he was captivated by her beauty. So, this was the newly appointed female president of Skyhowl? She was so incredibly beautiful! Why hadn’t he seen her in the capital city before? Who exactly was this woman?

Although Halbert Chan already knew of Jun Chester’s identity as Yanluo Jun the Accursed, he was still unaware that Jun Chester was also the mastermind behind Skyhowl. Furthermore, he had no knowledge that Lyvia Harding was Jun Chester’s wife. Not only Halbert Chan, but the majority of people present were also unaware of Jun Chester and Lyvia Harding’s relationship.

Looking at Katherine Snee at this moment, she was walking behind Jun Chester. Although she hadn’t fully recovered from the shock of learning Jun Chester’s identity as Yanluo Jun the Accursed, her gaze couldn’t help but be drawn to Lyvia Harding as soon as she appeared.

For a moment, Katherine Snee’s emotions became extremely complicated. She never expected that the mysterious new president of Skyhowl would turn out to be a woman. And not just any woman, but someone so young and breathtakingly beautiful. She had thought her friend, Theresa Hale, was already outstanding, but in front of this woman, she seemed to fade into insignificance. How could there be such a stunning woman in this world? Not only was she stunningly beautiful, but she also became the new president of Skyhowl. Now it seemed that Theresa Hale’s situation had become extremely difficult.

At that moment, Lyvia Harding and Theresa Hale both turned their gaze towards Jun Chester almost simultaneously. The former smiled slightly, while the latter seemed somewhat restrained. The reason was simple. For Theresa Hale, today was a significant day.

Although she was about to leave Skyhowl, starting today she would become the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Lordran Bank’s headquarters! Even Nelson Stewart, the Chief Executive Officer of Lordran Bank, had come to the scene. There was no hidden meaning behind it; he simply wanted to officially announce Theresa Hale’s next role in her career in front of everyone. They would also publicly sign an employment contract with Theresa Hale. In other words, today’s banquet was both a farewell party from Skyhowl to Theresa Hale and a welcome party from Lordran Bank.

For this reason, more than half of the senior management of Lordran Bank had come. This was the level of respect for Theresa Hale. However, it was unknown what kind of reaction Halbert Chan and Katherine Snee would have if they knew the truth.

At this moment, Lyvia Harding and Theresa Hale had already approached Jun Chester. Behind Lyvia Harding and Theresa Hale were prominent figures from the business world and senior executives from various departments of Skyhowl.

With all eyes on them, Lyvia Harding asked Jun Chester, “Why did you suddenly come?”

Jun Chester smiled. “Of course, I came to see you.”

Lyvia Harding blushed and muttered, “What’s there to see about me…”

This scene surprised Katherine Snee, who was behind Jun Chester. Yanluo Jun the Accursed, Jun Chester, knew this newly appointed female president of Skyhowl, and it seemed… there was some ambiguity between them?

While Katherine Snee was pondering, Theresa Hale, who was beside Lyvia Harding, noticed her presence and greeted her. “Katherine Snee? Why are you here?”

Katherine Snee awkwardly smiled. “I came… to pick you up.”

Theresa Hale’s face showed a trace of amusement. “Pick me up? Pick me up for what?”

Jun Chester glanced at Theresa Hale and she immediately said to him, “The grandeur today is not my extravagance; it was decided by your wife.”

Wife? The people present who were unaware of Jun Chester and Lyvia Harding’s relationship were stunned. Yanluo Jun the Accursed, Jun Chester… When did he get married?Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Jun Chester smiled at Theresa Hale. “I was just looking at you, nothing more. Why are you so nervous?”

Theresa Hale rolled her eyes. Jun Chester didn’t say anything more to her and looked at Lyvia Harding instead, asking a puzzling question. “Where’s your car?”

Lyvia Harding looked puzzled. “It’s in the underground parking lot, what’s the matter?”

Jun Chester smiled. “I’m going to Mount Emei. I’ll leave tonight.”

Lyvia Harding didn’t understand. “It’s so far. Shouldn’t we take a plane? It’s much faster, and we do have a house there.”

“…”

Everyone was speechless. They finally understood… The new female president of Skyhowl is actually Jun Chester’s family member? Lyvia Harding is Jun Chester’s wife?

Seeing that Lyvia Harding didn’t understand anything, Jun Chester hinted again, “No driving.”

Lyvia Harding couldn’t figure out what Jun Chester was thinking, but she was about to lead Jun Chester towards the banquet hall.

Jun Chester whispered again, “I came to find you, not just for dinner. We haven’t seen each other for six days, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to come back from Mount Emei. Do you really not understand what I mean?”

He had said so much. If Lyvia Harding still couldn’t grasp his intentions, it would really contradict the role of a wife.

Lyvia Harding understood. Her face turned red, and it was a deep shade of red. But soon, she regained her composure, turned her head, and said to Theresa Hale, “Director Hale, um… I left something in the car. My husband and I will go get it. As for the rest… you handle it yourself, I won’t be involved in the proceedings of the banquet.”

After speaking, Lyvia Harding didn’t wait for Theresa Hale to react and walked, blushing, with Jun Chester towards the direction of the underground parking lot.

There was no other choice! Even though her small pond couldn’t accommodate her husband, who was a fierce dragon, she had to reluctantly comply with his wishes. After all, it was normal for a couple to be affectionate.

Just as Jun Chester and Lyvia Harding left, Nelson Stewart, the Chief Executive Officer of Lordran Bank, arrived with many subordinates in front of Theresa Hale.

Under the gaze of everyone, Nelson Stewart and many high-level executives of Lordran Bank bowed to Theresa Hale. “Director Hale, please guide us in the future!”

As soon as these words were spoken, regardless of the situation of others, Katherine Snee felt as if struck by lightning! Nelson Stewart, such a prominent figure, the Chief Economist of Lordran Bank, calling Theresa Hale “Director Hale”? What’s going on?

Theresa Hale, with a humble expression, said to Nelson Stewart, “Mr. Stewart, please don’t say that. It’s my husband who arranged this position for me. As a woman of the household, I have no choice. I hope Mr. Stewart and colleagues can accommodate me in my future position at the headquarters!”

Although she said that, what Theresa Hale was most concerned about was why Jun Chester and Lyvia Harding suddenly went to the underground parking lot. Could it be…
