00:00Kevin was so excited, he held the box carefully in his hands.
00:05His eyes were glued to the beautiful antique signet ring in the box.
00:09It had an ancient aura, and he couldn't take his eyes off of it.
00:14Cook and the others looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy.
00:18As long as Kevin liked this gift, then all their effort had been worth it.
00:22Adriana leaned back on the sofa and explained,
00:25It's all thanks to Gilbert and Emo.
00:28They know what you like, especially your interest in antiques from the Middle Ages.
00:33They thought that this was appropriate because of all that you mean to us.
00:37Kevin looked at the ring for a long time before he carefully closed the box.
00:41He raised his glass and said,
00:44I'm glad to have found you again, my friends.
00:46Thank you so much.
00:48Let's have a toast.
00:49They stayed up and chatted well into the night, because it was so late and
00:54they were in no shape to drive home.
00:55Gilbert arranged for them to sleep in the Chartreuse Mills VIP suite.
01:00This just happened to be the first time Kevin had spent a night away from home
01:04since he married Lily.
01:06And when he woke up the next morning, Kevin didn't head home.
01:09Instead, he went straight to his office at Williams Media.
01:13After resting on the sofa in his office for a while,
01:16Kevin began wondering if he should send a message to Lily.
01:19Just then, his phone rang.
01:21Kevin saw that it was his mother-in-law, Dorothy.
01:24He quickly sat up straight and cleared his throat to answer the phone.
01:28Hello, Mom.
01:30Kevin, I heard from Lily that you didn't come back all night.
01:33Where did you go?
01:35Dorothy's tone was very gentle, definitely more gentle than usual.
01:39Kevin couldn't help but raise his eyebrow.
01:41He was pretty sure she was being so nice to him because of everything that had
01:45happened at the Jones family celebration the day before.
01:49I'm okay, thanks.
01:51I went to chat with my old friend for a while.
01:53Later on, it got to be too late, so I slept at his place.
01:57Dorothy said, I understand.
02:00You haven't seen each other in a long time, so
02:02you must have had a lot to talk about.
02:04By the way, didn't I ask you to bring your parents here for a physical?
02:08It just so happens that I have nothing to do for the next couple of days.
02:12How about tomorrow?
02:14When he heard her bring the subject up again, Kevin frowned.
02:18He really didn't want his parents involved in all of this.
02:21Dorothy suspected that Kevin and Lily's trouble having a baby,
02:25even by in vitro fertilization, was inherited.
02:29So she wanted to get his parents tested.
02:31Talk about awkward.
02:33Kevin thought about it and replied.
02:35How about this?
02:36After I bring my parents here tomorrow, I'll pick up you and
02:39Lily to go and get another checkup to see what the problem is.
02:43He continued.
02:45But really, Lily and I don't have any problem.
02:48I don't see the need for another physical and
02:50I definitely don't want to drag my parents into this.
02:53Dorothy was unhappy to hear this and was about to object.
02:56But Kevin didn't give her a chance.
02:58Then it's decided.
03:00Let's go and get the physical together, all of us.
03:03But I have to hang up now, Mom.
03:04I still have something to do.
03:06Talk to you later.
03:07After Kevin hung up, he put down his phone and
03:09was about to rest for a while when someone knocked on his office door.
03:13Miss Wilson walked in wearing a light blue professional suit and Prada shoes.
03:18Sir, Jason from the Jones family is here.
03:21He wants to sign the packaging contract for Brittany's debut with us.
03:25What do you think we should do?
03:27Kevin responded in a very serious tone.
03:31He's here pretty early.
03:32Don't worry about him right now.
03:34Please contact the Jones family directly.
03:37Let them know that since they've ignored my previous instructions,
03:41our agreement with them will be voided if they send him here again.
03:46If they want to continue to work with us,
03:48then they must ensure that all corporate matters will be handled by Lily and
03:53Lily alone.
03:54Otherwise, we have nothing to talk about.
03:57Kevin felt a headache coming on, so he closed his eyes and
04:00sat back on the plush sofa.
04:02He gently rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
04:05Miss Wilson nodded.
04:07So Jason will have to wait for the Jones family to inform him to leave?
04:11Yes.
04:12Jason sat for a long time in the first floor waiting room.
04:16Just as he was getting impatient and was about to go to the front desk for
04:20an update, he received a call from Grandma Jones asking him to head home.
04:25When he hung up the phone, Jason had a puzzled look on his face.
04:28His grandmother had full confidence in him when he left this morning.
04:33Why did he feel that there was something wrong with his grandmother's tone just
04:36now?
04:37He looked in the direction of the elevator again.
04:40After waiting for another five minutes,
04:42it was obvious that nobody was coming to show him into the CEO's office.
04:46The only thing left for Jason to do was leave.
04:49In the old Jones family mansion, the key players of the family were sitting
04:53in the living room trying to figure out how to handle all of this.
04:57One of his uncles was wondering out loud, why are they doing this to us?
05:03Why do they prefer Lily to Jason?
05:05After all, her own company was about to close its doors until she got bailed out.
05:10I think the new CEO of Williams Media is a fool, and
05:14sooner or later, Williams Media will be history.
05:18When Jason returned, he heard from Grandma Jones that Williams Media was
05:22threatening to cancel their partnership with them.
05:25He immediately became furious.
05:27He couldn't understand why they seemed to have a grudge against him.
05:31It was fine if they didn't agree to his proposal, but
05:33why were they demanding to see Lily instead of him?
05:36Grandma Jones looked at Jason, who was flying into a rage, and
05:40felt empathy for her grandson's suffering.
05:44JJ, please calm down.
05:46Your aunts and uncles are all here.
05:49Jason turned and looked at them.
05:51What do you all think about this?
05:53A middle-aged man wearing an old-fashioned three-piece suit and
05:56glasses spoke first.
05:58He was one of Grandma Jones' nephews.
06:01Auntie, why did the CEO of Williams Media choose Lily over Jason?
06:06What kind of relationship do they have?
06:08The woman sitting beside him quickly continued.
06:11Yes, why don't we ask Lily to explain this?
06:15If they really do know each other,
06:17wouldn't that make it easier for us to work with Williams Media?
06:21One of the younger members of the Jones family,
06:23a young man who usually hung out with Jason, stood up and said, as I recall,
06:28Lily said that she didn't get to see their CEO when she went to Williams Media.
06:32She must have been lying to us.
06:34I don't believe it.
06:35There must be something tawdry going on between them.
06:39Many of them started to whisper to each other when they heard him say this.
06:42One of Jason's uncles added, yeah, maybe Lily seduced him to smooth out the deal.
06:49Another piped up in her defense, sort of.
06:52That useless husband of hers doesn't even have a job.
06:56Lily is such a strong willed person.
06:58She has to do something to provide for her future.
07:01Listening to everyone's reaction, Jason felt much better and began to smirk.
07:06Grandma Jones was upset, but Lily was her granddaughter after all.
07:10She saw that everyone was attacking her more and more harshly and coughed twice.
07:15The room immediately fell silent.
07:18We need to make a long term plan.
07:22After all, if they want to cancel our agreement, we won't have a chance in court.
07:26If that happens, we'll be the ones to suffer.
07:30Grandma Jones was absolutely right.
07:33Williams Media was far more powerful than they were.
07:36The Jones family had to give in.
07:38However, they decided that if Williams Media really wanted Jason out of the picture, it
07:43would be better to find someone other than Lily to be in charge of the negotiations.
07:48She had to be replaced because they just weren't sure of her relationship with the CEO.
07:54So Jason's cousin, Matilda Jones, was chosen to replace Jason.
07:58They all wanted her to take Lily's place and go to Williams Media the next day.
08:04While this was going on, Kevin spent half a day at his office and then rode home on
08:08the new electric scooter that Miss Wilson had bought for him.
08:12There was no one at home and Kevin felt that it was too quiet.
08:15He tossed a snack in the microwave and relaxed a little.
08:18Then he took a nap until Lily came back that evening.
08:22Lily walked in, took one look at Kevin's messy hair and wrinkled clothes and got a little ticked off.
08:28When did you get back?
08:30You didn't spend the whole day sleeping, did you?
08:33Of course not.
08:34Kevin replied.
08:35I came back in the afternoon.
08:37By the way, did you get a call from Grandma today?
08:40Kevin stood up and got a glass of water for Lily, who was sitting on the sofa.
08:45Lily looked at him strangely.
08:46No.
08:47Why would she call me?
08:49Kevin was a little annoyed at this.
08:51It seemed that Grandma Jones still wasn't taking his words to heart.
08:55Still he looked very calm on the surface.
08:58It's nothing.
08:59I was just asking.
09:01Lily rolled her eyes.
09:02When she thought about her family's deal with Williams Media being handed over to Jason,
09:07she got really teed off.
09:09Where did you go last night?
09:11She asked Kevin.
09:12Thinking about how Kevin hadn't come home last night, Lily felt even more uneasy.
09:17She had so many things she wanted to ask him yesterday, but he never came home from the
09:20banquet.
09:22Kevin chuckled.
09:23I was just chatting with an old friend.
09:25It was too late and I'd had a little to drink, so I just slept there.
09:29Old friend?
09:30Was it Mr. Cook from the Whistler Hotel?
09:33Lily put down her glass and stared at Kevin.
09:36That's right.
09:37Kevin didn't want to hide anything from her, so he decided to tell her the truth.
09:41Lily was a little disappointed to hear his answer.
09:44After thinking for a few seconds, she sighed.
09:47Leaning back on the sofa, she declared.
09:49I don't know how you're such good friends with Mr. Cook, but if you say you were chatting
09:53with him last night, then I guess I'll have to believe you.
09:57But Lily really wanted to know more.
