“Heh.”

Kingsley Harrison sneered coldly, waving over two security guards to watch the grandfather clock before heading straight into the yard.

Cindy Harrison was completely dumbfounded, filled with immense regret.

She felt she had been too impulsive, acting against Greg Jensen without first investigating his background and connections.

Had she known about Greg’s formidable network within the Health Department, she would not have used such a low-level tactic to humiliate him.

Now, not only had she failed to humiliate Greg, but she had also brought trouble upon herself.

It was simply a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet!

However, Greg had not taken her seriously, or to put it another way, from beginning to end, he never paid any attention to Cindy Harrison at all.

With his current capabilities, for a flirtatious woman like Cindy, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he could eliminate her with a wave of his hand.

The reason he hadn’t acted was simply that he felt the time was not right.

Acting now would let Cindy off too easily!

That was why, when Kingsley Harrison came in to ask about what to do with the grandfather clock, Greg only waved his hand, indicating that Kingsley should handle it himself.

After chatting with Director Wang and the others for a while, Greg then went out to greet Craig Burley and his daughter Louisa Burley.

What he didn’t expect was that Vivian Shimpson had also come along with them.

As Vivian Shimpson entered, she happened to see Cindy Harrison beating a hasty retreat, and her good mood immediately vanished without a trace.

She couldn’t help scoffing, “A dog can’t change its habit of eating feces. She’s mixed up with that malicious woman again!”

“Vivian, who is she?”

“Ethan Locke’s girlfriend, Greg’s ex-girlfriend.”

After Greg became an idiot, Vivian Shimpson had inquired about the details of that day in many ways, and naturally, she knew that the instigator of the incident was the seemingly harmless Cindy Harrison.

Because of this, she was filled with loathing for Cindy Harrison.

Hearing Louisa Burley ask about it, she instinctively told the whole story without any reservations.

Upon hearing this, Louisa’s pretty face rarely showed a trace of anger, “She’s too hateful. Greg was so good to her, how could she be so heartless…”

Watching Louisa Burley’s angry expression, Vivian Shimpson felt a lump in her throat, realizing she might have misspoken, as the past story could make Louisa like Greg even more.

After all, love encompasses everything, and sympathy is one of the sources of affection.

She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say to make amends, so she could only sigh helplessly.

Just then, Greg came out and greeted Craig Burley, who was walking ahead, then he walked toward Louisa Burley.

Approaching her, he noticed that besides Vivian Shimpson, there was a strange woman beside Louisa, holding an umbrella for her.

“Who might this be…”

“Oh, this is Sister Huàn. She has been taking care of me for many years. She returned home for a short visit not long ago,”

Louisa Burley introduced with a smile, “Sister Huàn, this is Brother Greg I told you about. Thanks to him, I can go out during the day.”

“Hello, Mr. Greg, my name is Kevin Lampe.”

Kevin Lampe reached out proactively and shook hands with Greg, smiling, “Thank you for curing the young lady’s illness.”

“It was just a helping hand; we’re all friends here, no need to be so formal,”

Greg smiled back before asking, “Louisa, how have you been feeling lately?”

“Much better now.”

Louisa Burley said with a smile, “You’re right, just a little bit of adaptation and I can stay outside for much longer.

If I use an umbrella, I can already stay outside for most of the afternoon now.”

“Haha, that means the Yin energy inside you has already been mostly dispelled. Keep it up and eventually, you’ll be able to stand in the sunlight without any worries, just like a normal person.”

“Mm, I know, I’ll definitely work hard!”

Louisa Burley nodded with a smile.

Vivian Shimpson couldn’t help but curl her lip and said, “Tch, you’re never off duty with your shtick of playing the mystic.”

After saying this, she turned to Kevin Lampe and said, “Kevin, be very careful with this guy, don’t let Louisa be deceived by him.”

“Er, okay.”

Kevin Lampe smiled very casually, obviously not taking her words to heart.

Louisa Burley, holding Vivian’s arm, said, “Vivian, don’t talk nonsense, Greg wouldn’t lie to me.”

Vivian Shimpson, looking disappointed in her naivety, huffed, “You are so gullible. If someone sold you, you would even help count the money for them.

Sooner or later, that scumbag is going to swindle everything from you.”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Louisa Burley’s face immediately turned red, and she stole a glance at Greg Jensen, noticing he was talking with his father and not paying attention to them; she then let out a slight sigh of relief.

She turned her head and said with a smile to Vivian Shimpson, “Alright, let’s go inside too. I’ve heard from Magnus that they’ve prepared a lot of delicious food today.”

Vivian Shimpson gave her a glance and said helplessly, “Sigh, I really don’t know what to do with you.”

Louisa Burley laughed, and, linking arms with her, headed inside.

“Kingsley, come and take Craig over to Chief Wang’s table, I’ll take Louisa and the others to another.”

“Alright.”

Greg Jensen handed Craig Burley over to Kingsley Harrison, then personally led Louisa Burley, Vivian Shimpson, and the others to a house beside the little hill.

The hill was not high, just twenty to thirty meters tall, and was considered part of Dreamscape Garden.

Located halfway up the hill, the house had windows that had been transformed into floor-to-ceiling glass, offering a view overlooking the entire Dreamscape Garden.

Especially the circling corridor, and the pond that was clear and bright, emanating a sense of a secluded and ethereal setting.

The house, built in the last century with a brick and wood mixed structure, had only undergone some repairs and reinforcements by the previous owners without changing much of the main structure.

After Dreamscape Garden came into Greg Jensen’s hands, the major change was turning the southern wall into floor-to-ceiling windows, and replacing other doors and windows as well.

While it looked somewhat modern from the outside, the inside still retained the old-time style.

Entering it, one could feel an atmosphere of tranquil elegance.

The old stone tiles on the floor had all been replaced with dark-hued marble, giving off a faint mellow glow, looking both mysterious and solemn.

The whole room was divided into three parts: the dining area in the center, and rest and recreation areas on either side.

“Wow, this place is too beautiful.”

Upon entering, Louisa Burley couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, even Vivian Shimpson beside her nodded in agreement.

Greg’s sense of aesthetics isn’t bad at all, worthy of a man I’ve taken a fancy to.

Thinking this, Vivian Shimpson’s face turned red, and she secretly spit to herself, yet her eyes couldn’t stop glancing at Greg Jensen.

Greg Jensen, oblivious to her reaction, introduced the people already seated, “Let me introduce you, this is Miss Taylor Ware, her father is Mr. Chestor Ware, the most famous philanthropic businessman in Riverhaven County.

This is Brandon Brent, his father is Micah Brent, the Chief Inspector of Riverhaven County.”

“Hello everyone, my name is Louisa Burley, Magnus is my brother.” Louisa Burley said with a smile.
