it you to accompany me somewhere.”
Thinking of the earlier call, Cynthia probed. “Are you free in a few days! I want
“Where to” Luam replied
“Where I grew up, she explained.
“You mean going back to the countryside!” Cynthia hadn’t officially told Liam about her past, so he always thought she grew up in the countryside.
“I haven’t told you before, but I grew up on the border. I have two masters and one senior,” Cynthia said
Liam listened attentively. He knew that there must be someone wise guiding Cynthia secretly. Otherwise, the young woman would not possibly achieve her current accomplishments.
“I did live in the countryside for a while when I was young. At that time, my grandfather took care of me. But then, he died, and Mason left me to fend for myself. When I was about to starve to death, my masters brought me up and taught me things. To me, they are my family. Since we’re married, I should take you to see them, the woman recounted her past to him.
Liam’s eyes were full of distress after hearing this. He reached out to stroke Cynthia’s cheek, saying tenderly. “I didn’t know you had such a hard childhood. But fortunately, you found your masters. Your family is my family, too. Of course, we should visit them. I’ll return with you after I sort out the company matters within these two days”
Cynthia smiled sweetly. “Okay” Then, she thought of something and reminded, “My masters are eccentric, while Hallet likes to mag. Anyway, you have to be prepared mentally
“Don’t worry. When are we going back? Liam asked.
“As soon as possible. Cynthia said. Larson Group needed funding at the moment, and Hallet would only provide her the money after meeting Liam
Hearing this, Liam pondered momentarily. He then said, “Okay. Give me two days? With that, he stood up, wanting to leave.
“Where are you going?” Cynthia voiced.
turn to the office now. I’ll come and pick you up after work
“I’m returning to your childhood home with you, so my schedule is packed now. I’ll return later, Liam replied
Cynthia smiled and watched him leave
As the end of the workday approached, Queens walked into the office carrying a sizable bouquet that covered her whole body. Cynthia wouldn’t have known who the visitor was if Queena didn’t speak. “Cynthia, congratulations on being a CEO. Queens placed the flowers on the desk and shook her weary hands
Cynthia poured a glass of water, put it before Queena, and smiled “Aren’t you tired from carrying such a big bouquet?”
The other woman downed the water and refilled it. Then, she grinned. “Only such a big flower can express my sincerity,”
Cynthia moved the flower aside. “Ah, I have to take good care of it so that it will stay alive longer
“Cynthia, I really admire you. I can’t believe you are a CEO at such a young age Queena’s idolization of Cynthia grew.
Hearing this, Cynthia thought of their participation in the design competition together and couldn’t help asking, “Is your brother still opposed to you doing your own thing?”
Queena’s lively and energetic expression suddenly dropped. “He’s so stubborn. I don’t want to see him again.”
Cynthia raised her eyebrows, musing. Oh, they’ve quarreled again. From my previous encounters with Vincent, he isn’t as stubborn as Queena portrayed him to be. I wonder what is it that Queena wants to do that he’s so opposed to? With that, the wornan joked, “Are you up to something illegal”
Queena glanced at her. “What are you talking about, Cynthia? My brother will kill me if I dare to do such things. She did a throat–slitting gesture. “Can you tell me what it is then” Cynthia probed
“It’s not a secret. My childhood dream is to e
enter the entertainment industry,” Queena stated.
Immediately, images of the glamorous and well–dressed men and women on selevision flashed through Cynthia’s mind. Queena had the looks to enter the entertainment industry, and with the Yearwood family owning an entertainment company, her entry should be easier than other. However, despite her ability to avoid the industry’s darker aspects, the internet’s reach magnified public figures actions, making it easy to attract controversy. Additionally, while the Yearwood family held some influence in the entertainment industry, they couldn’t manipulate everything. Hence, it was probable that Vincent was just worried about Queena Cynthia understood Vincent’s opposition and also sympathized with Queena’s

desire to pursue her dreams, making it hard for her to take sides. She looked at the sulking young girl and reassured her. “Your appearance gives you a competitive edge in the entertainment industry, but you should know why Vincent is worried”
“I know, I warned to explain, but that arrogant man didn’t listen to me. He pisses me off Queena put her hands on her hips.

Cynthia spoke.
Cynthia looked at the bag Queena was carrying and changed the subject. “Did you come to send me flowers only!”
Queena immediately smiled flatteringly, “Cynthia, I want to stay with you for a few days”
“Why?” Cynthia questioned.
Queena said pitifully, T quarreled with my brother today and said a lot of outrageous things. I don’t want to see him now. So, can you two nights?

Cynthia pondered, ‘Oh. She ran away from home. That’s just how young women are. The woman said helplessly, “I can take you in for two nights, but you have to tell Vincent that you are safe. Otherwise, he will be worried.”
“He won’t care about me,” Queena muttered,
Cynthia quipped, “I can take you in only after you inform him. Otherwise, I’m afraid that the police will knock on my door at midnight and accuse me of kidnapping young girls.”
Unable to argue with Cynthia, yet unwilling to call Vincent after their recent argument, Queena reluctantly pulled out her phone and sent him a

Liam’s face darkened when he saw Queens in the car
Cynthia hurriedly explained, “Queena wants to stay with me for two days.”
Liam caressed Cynthia’s head with one hand, knowing that she was defending Queena. “I know. Vincent just called me.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“Oh, it seems that he cares a lot about Queena. He’s really stubborn, though. Pass a message to him that he shouldn’t be so stubborn in the future, or else I won’t return his sister to him: Cynthia intentionally raised her voice so that Queena, in the backseat, could hear her.
Queena lowered her head, a warmth filling her heart.
Together, they returned to Regalian Garden.
Winnie’s face lit up with joy when she saw Queena. “Ms. Yearwood, you’re all grown up now. I haven’t seen you in years.” Queens often followed Vincent to the Sullivan residence when Winnie worked there in the past, so Winnie was quite fond of her.
