“Isn’t it too early for me to choose a wedding dress? We’re not even engaged yet.” Eileen asked.
“It’s not too early. Once we’re engaged, marriage is just a matter of time. Jasper said gently.
The manager noticed the unusual atmosphere between the two. She quickly smiled and said, “Actually, it’s understandable that Ms. Eileen has concerns. She is still young and growing. If she orders a wedding dress now, it may not fit her later, which can affect her appearance, I suggest waiting until you two have set a wedding date before making plans
Jasper’s thumb gently stroked back and forth over the hack of her hand. After a moment of thought, he said, “That’s fine. Let’s wait for your father to come over today to finalize the wedding details. Then, we

Eileen smiled. All right.

At Caerulus Corporation. Gavin knocked on the door and walked into the CEO’s office. “Mr. Snow, a few construction plan costs require your signature for approval.”
Eric glanced over it and signed the document.
“Mr. Swan is returning today. Everything at Undella Mansion has been arranged according to you instructions. We’ve added eight housekeepers to take care of Mrs Swan’s diet and daily life, including a nutritionist. Here are the details of all the housekeepers.”
Eric said without lifting his head. “There’s no need to show me these. Report on my upcoming itinerary.
“All right. Mr. Snow. You have a meeting in two hours. It’s about the development project in the new area of Newcove. Around six in the evening, there’s a banquet with the co-developers. Today’s quest of honor is Mr. Wilson from Nimblelife Corporation. There’s also an issue with Palace Corporation Chandler, the largest shareholder of Palace Corporation, has passed away. His funeral was held yesterday, and his shares in the company have been transferred to your other identity. Palace Corporation is now leaderless. According to the share distribution, Chandler’s sister, Daisy, is set to take over. Our research shows that she studied business management in Archulea and has obtained a dual master’s degree. She has already returned to the country. Before Chandler’s death, the transfer of his shares seemed to have raised her suspicions. She’s currently investigating the cause of death, including your identity.”
Just then, Gavin’s phone chimed with a message notification. He took out his phone and glanced at it, his expression subtly changing. “Daisy, the newly appointed CEO of Palace Corporation, has requested at meeting with you, Mr. Snow.”
“Daisy?” Eric put down his pen, rhythmically tapping his fingers on the office desk, leaning lazily back in his chair. “Where’s the information about her?”
“Here!
Eric, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, had his black shirt sleeves rolled up. The blue veins on his muscular anns were prominent. His fingers, with clearly defined knuckles, casually flipped open a page. Upon seeing the photo on it, he narrowed his eyes with a deep gaze.
Gavin explained, Although Chandler is not a righteous person, he has never mistreated his sister. The twes of them have been dependent on each other since they lost their parents at a young age. Given Chandlers

death, Daisy will certainly not let it go easily.”
Suddenly, a voice outside the oflice spoke. T’m sorry, but without an appointment, you can’t go in. Ms. Hackett. Mr. Snow is not in the office.
“Seram!” The next second, the office door was kicked open, making a loud bang that echoed throughout
the room.
Before long, a tall woman appeared at the office entrance. She was dressed in a loose chiffon outfit and wore sunglasses.
The security guard, frightened, quickly said, Tm sorry. Mr. Snow. This woman knows martial arts. I couldn’t stop her.”
Eric waved his hand. It’s okay. You can go first.
“All right. Mr. Snow
Daisy strode forward, her hands forcefully slapping down on Eric’s office desk, her demeanor bold and domineering Eric, twenty-six years old, an adopted son of the Swan family. In 1999, you sponsored the campus belle of the Music Academy. Last year, she mysteriously died on a ski slope after having an argument with you. Two months ago, you handed over Newcove’s development rights to my brother: You also signed an agreement with Palace Corporation for the joint development of Newcove. The agreement was only three months old when, quite conveniently, my brother ended up in prison. The day after you went to visit him, he mysteriously died in jail.
Gavin frowned in displeasure. “Ms. Hackett, mind your manners. If you continue to cause a scene, the company has the right to call the police”
Daisy chuckled. Go ahead. Report me! It would be perfect to have the police here. I want them to thoroughly investigate my brother’s case. Why was he, a perfectly fine man, arrested and put in jail, only to die suddenly?”
Eric put down the document in his hand and said to Gavin. “You go out first.”
Gavin nodded Understood
Gavin left and closed the door behind him.
Eric stood up from his seat. “Good investigation. Continur.
Daisy noticed the document, her voice rising a few notches. “You’ve been investigating me.”
“Know yourself, know your enemy.” Eric took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, picked one, and put it in his mouth. “Ms. Hackett, did you come all this way just to interrogate me about these things?”
“You admit it, then? That my brother’s death is connected to you?” Daisy relentlessly pressed him, the eyes behind her sunglasses piercing like a sharp sword, seemingly ready to skewer him.
She studied his figure. From the moment she walked through the door, from the very first glance, she realized he was not only dangerous but also not as simple as she had imagined, even though he was quite bandone
A Blake smoke enveloped him, carrying with it a scent of tobacco, which gradually dispersed with the

outdoor breeze.
“I can only express my regret for Chandler’s death. Considering my relationship with Palace Corporation, I advise you, Ms. Hackett, that there is no bencht for you in continuing this investigation”
Daisy spat. “What do you mean no benefits? It’s clear as day that you’re the murderer, yet here you are, putting on an act.”
“Before accusing me of being the murderer, Ms. Hackett, you should carefully consider the situation. Where is the evidence? Who would believe you based solely on your few words? If you truly suspect that there is something suspicious about your brother’s death, instead of wasting time here trying to find the killer, it would be more beneficial to focus on managing Palace Corporation properly. What do you think.
Ms. Hacken?”
“Alright, I don’t doubt you, but please tell me, why did you visit my brother before he passed away? Why did he die the following day Daisy removed her sunglasses, her tone icy as she interrogated him.
“I have nothing to say
Daisy smirked. She walked over to Eric’s desk, sat down on the chair, and crossed her legs. “Very well. If you refuse to talk. I will simply spend my day here with you
Eric turned around to look at her, hus gaze flashing with a hint of dangerous coldness. The corners of his mouth curved up in an almost imperceptible arc, sending shivers down the spines of those who witnessed it.
Daisy noticed a picture frame on his desk. Upon seeing the person in the photo, she was slightly taken aback. The face of the person in the picture bore a striking resemblance to her own.
She teased again. “Could this be another lover you’re keeping?
Eric noticed her staring at the photo frame and stepped forward to cover it. “Ms. Hackett, your plastic surgery has been done quite well. It would be better for you to wear sunglasses during the recovery period to avoid dust getting into your eyes and causing an infection. Otherwise, your face could be ruined A subtle glint flashed in his eyes.
