Rumor was, several forces controlled the mysterious holding of Jadforest Garden. The property stood out amongst its competition in Broome.

How could a young man from Sheffield obtain shares to the Jadforest Garden?

Moreover, how could he acquire 51% of the shares?

Darian wanted to ask more questions, but Vincent was growing impatient.

“Darian! I agreed to this birthday party because all of you insisted. Why are you now bullying disciple? What do you care if she wants to sleep here? I could even build her a bed out of jade if she wished! If any of you has anything else to say, I won't hesitate to withdraw from the Jade Carving Association."

Darian's eyes widened in shock

How could the Jade Carving Association survive without Vincent? Without him, the Jade Carving Association would be nothing but a joke Darian hurriedly apologized, “It was my mistake. Your disciple can sleep wherever she pleases. We promise not to disturb her."

Vincent huffed in anger. "My precious disciple has been suffering from poor health lately. She needs plenty of rest. Are you all idiots? How can you pick on someone like that?"

Darian's cheeks flamed with embarrassment as he repeatedly apologized. In the end, Vincent had to throw him out.

Afterwards, the Lounge was silent except for Maria's soft snoring. Anthony's phone then lit up with a notification. When he glanced down. he saw it was a message from Allen.

“Why do you suddenly want to acquire shares for the Jadforest Garden? Are you in trouble? Is it urgent?"

“Urgent? I would say so. My fiancee couldn't find a place to rest her head," Anthony replied.

Once Maria woke up, she noticed she was still inside the largest and most luxurious Lounge inside the Jadforest Garden.

She blinked her eyes open and realized she was lying on her side. Maria wiggled her head and thought her “pillow” was quite soft. It took her a few moments to realize that her head was lying on a man's lap. She was lying on Anthony's lap.

What happened?

Did she sleep here the whole time? She was surprised to discover his lap was quite comfortable to rest her head on

Maria narrowed her eyes and spotted steaming milk tea, fruit, and other delicious desserts sprawled across the tea table.

Did they prepare all those for her?

Her stomach grumbled in hunger.

However, she was hesitant to get up because she felt so comfortable. Maria considered sleeping in for a moment. It wouldn't be too much, would it?
