Chapter 806

Chapter 806 Emily refilled Grace’s mug with piping hot coffee, her voice a soothing balm, “Grace, this is a crucial moment. You’ve got to take care of yourself. We can’t have anyone eyeing the Salter family’s assets.”

People like Marcel and his mother were practically drooling over the Salter legacy.

Grace took a sip of her coffee. “As for Marcel, he can’t touch me if I don’t budge”

However, time wasn’t on her side. The years had taken their toll on her body, and one of these days, she wouldn’t be able to hold on any longer.

Yet, she still had much to do before that time came.

For instance, ensuring Isaac’s position.

Over the moon from a marriage proposal, Brittany, in high spirits, decided to double the year-end bonuses for her staff.

The whole studio erupted with joy.

Kari slipped out of the boardroom quietly.

Ever since her fallout with Nathan, Willa had been checking in on her three times a day, paranoid she might get back in touch with him.

Somehow, Ronald had gotten in contact with Willa. Since Willa couldn’t always chauffeur her around, she had Ronald keeping tabs on Kari.

It was driving Kari nuts, but she didn’t dare defy Willa.

Stepping out of the studio, Ronald was already there waiting.

Kari’s mood soured instantly, but she got into the car.

“Everything alright?” Ronald asked.

Wasn’t he busy finding his place in the Hall family? How did he have time to dog her every move?

Ronald knew Kari was not in the best spirits, and it wasn’t personal-it was Willa’s over-protectiveness that bothered her.

“I mean you no harm, you know that. I’ve always wanted the best for you,” he said calmly.

“Wanting the best for me includes popping up right before my wedding?” Kari retorted, irritated. “Ronald, I don’t like you, and I’m never going to like you. Can’t you just stay out of my life?”

1/2 09:26 Kari knew Ronald had feelings for her. When she was eighteen, she’d inadvertently caught him dreaming about her, murmuring her name Despite the rebuffs, Ronald remained cool as a cucumber.

“If you want your mom off your back, just do as I say “And what brilliant idea do you have?”

“Get a new boyfriend.” Ronald suggested, “Aunt Willa suspects you’re not totally over Nathan. So, find a new guy.”

Like him.

Kari scoffed, “Jump from one to the next? Seamless transition?”

She’d rather be watched. She didn’t want a seamless transition that could fuel gossip.

Besides, where was she supposed to find a boyfriend on such short notice?

Ronald, slightly disheartened, hadn’t expected Kari to be so astute, yet she refused to accept such a great idea.

With a click of his tongue, he proposed, “Join me for dinner, and I’ll talk to your mom. I promise she won’t be so suspicious anymore. How’s that?”

Kari didn’t want to dine with Ronald, but lacking any better plan, she relented, “Fine.”

Ronald was thrilled, instructing the driver to head to a posh restaurant.

Kari followed Ronald into the restaurant with a scowl.

“Ms. Malone.’

A woman’s voice rang out-it was Megan Campbell.

Megan was clearly there with friends, a whole entourage trailing behind her.

Chapter 987 Upon seeing Kari with an unfamiliar man, a flicker of surprise crossed her face, “Ms. Malone, who might this be?”

“My brother, Ronald.”

Kari didn’t want Megan jumping to conclusions. Megan knew Nathan, and Kari had no desire to get entangled in any rumors with Nathan.

Ronald smirked at Kari’s introduction.

What kind of brother harbors thoughts for his sister?

Ronald?

At the mention of that name, Megan had a moment of astonishment. Wasn’t that the long-lost son the Hall family had just welcomed back?
