00:00Lily was very worried that this whole argument with Jason about Phoebe's seat at the banquet
00:06would blow up and get her in trouble with the family. As the eldest daughter of the Anderson
00:10family, Phoebe was in the spotlight wherever she went. Dorothy Jones knew very well what kind of
00:17influence someone like her would have on Grandma Jones, and if Kevin offended Phoebe in any way,
00:23that would definitely have a negative impact on Lily. However, Kevin only cared about Lily
00:29and didn't even notice the look that Dorothy was giving him. Actually, he noticed but didn't
00:35want to do anything about it. Finally, Jason exploded. Don't you understand English? I've
00:41already told you 10 times to give up your seat. What's wrong with you? Just move so Miss Anderson
00:47can have a seat. Phoebe scowled and looked impatiently at Jason. Then her cool gaze fell
00:54on Kevin. Seeing Grandma Jones also look over at them, Lily was worried about the impression that
01:00all this would make on the family matriarch. This would definitely tarnish Lily's image.
01:06She turned her head to look at Kevin who was completely ignoring Jason and asked him quietly,
01:12Kevin, why don't you change seats? When Kevin heard his wife speak, he immediately smiled and
01:19nodded. All right, Lily, as you wish. Then he stood up and walked to a different seat and sat
01:25down. But he didn't look at Jason and Phoebe Anderson again. Jason was livid. But after all,
01:32he had to protect his image in front of Phoebe. So he naturally couldn't act too impetuously.
01:38Phoebe had just sat down when she unconsciously looked at Lily with a gaze that pierced right
01:43through her. In fact, Phoebe was actually looking at the Dream Lover necklace on Lily's neck.
01:50The Dream Lover necklace was something Phoebe had desired for a long time. But up until now,
01:55even though her family was in the jewelry business, there was no way for her to actually
02:01get one herself. She couldn't have imagined that she would see the long cherished Dream
02:06Lover necklace hanging gracefully on Lily's neck. With her professional and trained eyes,
02:12she could tell right away that Lily's necklace was real. Lily felt weird to be stared at so
02:18intently and felt slightly self conscious. Miss Anderson, I can't help but notice that
02:23you're staring at me. Is there something wrong? Phoebe smiled apologetically.
02:29Sorry, Miss Williams. Actually, I wanted to ask, where did you buy your Dream Lover necklace?
02:36Sensing the envy in Phoebe's gaze, Lily's ego got a little boost. She never expected that a
02:43rich young lady like Phoebe Anderson would envy a piece of jewelry that she owned. Lily found this
02:49feeling to be very satisfying. Lily cleared her throat softly. This was given to me by a friend.
02:58Phoebe nodded in understanding as her gaze stayed glued to the Dream Lover.
03:02I'd like to ask you a favor. Could you perhaps ask your friend to help me buy a Dream Lover
03:08necklace? After saying this, she seemed worried that Lily might turn down her request and quickly
03:13added, Don't worry, I'm not asking for a gift. How much did he pay for this beautiful necklace?
03:20I will pay him double. Double the price? Everyone around the table who heard the conversation
03:26between Phoebe and Lily was shocked. A Dream Lover necklace was worth almost $3 million.
03:33Double the price was close to $6 million. She was indeed the most prominent member of the
03:38Anderson family. Such wealth! As Lily and Phoebe were sitting together,
03:44the contrast between them was obvious. One was gentle and graceful, and the other was detached
03:49and elegant. The men in the room were infatuated with them, and the women were envious of them.
03:56Dorothy saw that her daughter hadn't responded yet and kicked her leg gently under the table.
04:02What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and answer her question!
04:06Lily looked at her mother and only then did she realize that everyone was staring at her.
04:11She had no choice but to take her phone out of her bag. It took her a few seconds to find
04:16Bradley Smith's phone number in her contact list. She placed the call and waited anxiously.
04:23Kevin watched Lily's actions with an amused smile. He was pretty sure he knew who she was calling.
04:29Anyway, he was sure it wouldn't be him. If his guess was right, it was probably Bradley Smith.
04:36The call was answered pretty quickly. Lily saw Phoebe staring at her very intently and decided
04:41to put it on speaker. Dorothy was close enough to see Bradley Smith's name on the screen and
04:46couldn't hide her displeasure. She glanced in Kevin's direction. So it was Bradley Smith who
04:53gave Lily the necklace. Dorothy couldn't imagine what would happen if Kevin found out about this.
04:58She hoped that he and Lily wouldn't argue over it, especially here at the banquet. It would
05:04definitely be awkward for everyone. Bradley Smith was sitting alone at a roadside cafe
05:11drinking a beer when his phone rang. Someone from the Williams family had recently told him to keep
05:16his distance from them because he had offended one of them. Smith's finances were suddenly in
05:21jeopardy and then the company's tax problem was discovered. He'd lost everything, practically
05:27overnight. Up until now, Smith still hadn't figured out who it was that he had offended.
05:33He didn't even look at the caller ID. He put down his beer and answered the phone with a gloomy voice.
05:39Hello? Who is it? Lily's face stiffened and she felt a little uncomfortable.
05:45After all, Bradley Smith had always been gentle and considerate to her. Why did he sound so down
05:51today? Bradley, it's me, Lily. I have something to ask you. Would it be possible for you to buy
05:59another dream lover necklace? When he realized that it was Lily calling, Bradley Smith immediately
06:05brightened up. He quickly cleared his throat and adjusted his tone of voice. Lily, I'm really sorry.
06:12I was just having a rough day, so I'm sorry if my tone was so negative. Did you just ask me about the
06:19fake dream lover necklace? Fake? Lily immediately frowned and looked at Phoebe, who also had the
06:26same surprised expression. This was impossible. They couldn't both be mistaken about this.
06:32The necklace Lily was wearing was definitely genuine. Bradley Smith sighed on the other end
06:38of the phone. Yes, it's a copy. Unfortunately, your husband threw it on the ground, but luckily
06:44it wasn't broken. I took it home with me. If you want it, I'll send it over to you right now.
06:50Lily was incredibly confused. If the real necklace wasn't given to her by Bradley Smith,
06:56then who would have given it to her? She just couldn't figure out who would be willing to spend
07:012.8 million dollars to give her a dream lover necklace. After hanging up the phone, Lily saw
07:07how disappointed Phoebe looked. Embarrassed and confused, she murmured, I'm really sorry,
07:13Miss Anderson. I really don't know who gave me this necklace. Phoebe let out a sigh and shrugged
07:19it off. That's fine, Mrs. Williams. I have to say that I've just had no luck finding my own dream
07:25lover. So Phoebe was disappointed and Lily was extremely perplexed. Because the banquet had
07:31already begun, they just picked up their forks and ate, lost in thought. While Lily was absentmindedly
07:38eating her meal, she unconsciously looked over at Kevin, who was digging into his own plate of food.
07:44She remembered very clearly that Kevin had said that he would give her the real dream lover
07:49necklace. Could it really be him? After all, he could easily find 4 million to help her company,
07:56couldn't he? But then she thought about it again. The dream lover was worth almost 3 million dollars.
08:03No matter how cleverly Kevin could borrow money, it would be very difficult to get another 3
08:08million after already giving her all that money to help her company. On top of that,
08:13he'd also have to figure out a way to find and purchase an authentic dream lover.
08:18How could he possibly do all that? Lily was still thinking too much. Whoever had given her
08:24the dream lover was definitely not Kevin. By now, Kevin was almost full. He put down his
08:31knife and fork and picked up his napkin to wipe his mouth. His eyes fell on Phoebe, who was sitting
08:36next to Lily. He suddenly remembered why she seemed so familiar. The Anderson family controlled one of
08:43the companies that wanted to cooperate with Williams Media. In the file that Ms. Wilson had
08:48prepared about the Anderson family, there was a publicity photo of Phoebe Anderson.
08:54This Ms. Anderson was definitely an interesting woman. As Kevin understood it, she was raised
09:00by her father to be the company's deputy president at a young age. She was already a reliable
09:06executive with a lot of experience. Although the dress she wore to the event wasn't very conspicuous,
09:13the simple ring on her finger was worth more than enough to buy a villa in the south of Italy.
09:19Others might not notice it at all, but Kevin could tell at a glance. The ring Phoebe was wearing was
09:25a valuable antique. Kevin knew this because of all the time that he spent with his grandfather
09:31when he was young. Even in his childhood, he had come into contact with numerous professional
09:36figures in various industries. Starting when he was about 10 years old, he got to spend nearly
09:42three years with Claude Fields, an internationally renowned appraiser, to learn how to identify and
09:48appraise antiques. The ring Phoebe was wearing had a unique design. It was made of pure gold
09:54and it had a ruby of nearly perfect color set in a golden flower. He was certain that it was from
10:01the Middle Ages and had to have been worn by royalty. Based on the ruby alone, it was worth
10:07a fortune. But with the history likely attached to it, Kevin estimated that the ring was worth
10:13about $3 million. Just as Kevin was thinking about giving Lily a beautiful ring one of these days,
10:20Grandma Joan stood up and walked to the stage. With a great big smile, she spoke to the guests.
10:27Quiet, please. Lily, please tell everyone about the secret of your successful negotiation with
10:33Williams Media. How did you do it? We would all love to know. Grandma Joan couldn't stop smiling.
10:41She gestured for Lily to go up on the stage and then went back to take her seat. Lily stood up
10:47nervously and hesitated for a few seconds. She didn't go on the stage but instead remained
10:53standing by her seat slightly embarrassed. Actually, it was nothing at all. When I went
10:59over that day, I didn't get to see the president of Williams Media. It was his secretary who
11:04brought me the contract and asked me to sign it. Everyone was astonished to hear this.
11:10What? They signed the contract right away? Someone said, so just like Jason, she didn't get to see
11:17the new CEO of Williams Media either. Another added, I thought she was very capable. Seems like
11:24she was just lucky that she went there when the new president of Williams Media was in a good mood.
11:29That's why she got the contract. Jason, who was sitting beside Grandma Joan, couldn't help but
11:35sneer when he heard the comments coming from the crowd. He turned his head to see Grandma Joan's
11:40reaction. But he was already coming up with an idea to get even with Lily for making him look bad.
11:47Jason spoke up loudly so that everyone in the room could hear. Grandma, I think this is really unfair.
11:54When I went to Williams Media, maybe the new CEO was just in a bad mood.
11:58That's why he had his assistant chase me out. This time when Lily went there, he must have
12:03realized how sincere our family was about working with them. That's why he gave us the contract.
12:09Jason glanced at Lily dismissively and raised his voice a little. I think that the second person to
12:15go to Williams Media would have gotten the contract anyway, no matter who they were.
12:20Lily clenched her fist as she glared at Jason, but she couldn't find the words to answer him.
12:26Grandma Joan, who had always loved Jason, listened intently to what her grandson had said.
12:31She nodded in agreement. JJ is right. Lily, you earned the contract with Williams Media pretty
12:38easily. But it's not all because of you. JJ also put in a lot of work and he suffered a lot.
12:45Obviously, half of the credit goes to him. Lily was extremely annoyed by Grandma Joan's speech,
12:51but she didn't dare to argue with her. How could she? Jason was clearly stealing the
12:57credit for her accomplishment. Of course, Jason was very happy with the outcome.
13:02This definitely wasn't going well for Lily.
