Chapter 1368 Eleanor, her cheeks kissed by the soft breeze, lowered her eyes. âThere are plenty of beautiful places in my homeland too. Nature, trees, roads, theyâre all the same wherever you go.â
Antoineâs voice was gentle as he responded, âI donât often live in Canada either, I just come back from time to time. But if youâre here, Iâll make it a point to visit more often.â
Eleanor played along. âIf you want to see me, then you can come to my place.â
Antoineâs eyes lit up with a playful smile, âAlright, remember you promised.â
Eleanor, having jumped into the trap, chose not to respond. Peterson, however, couldnât help but laugh, âDonât worry about Antoine. Heâs usually swamped with work and wouldnât have time to pester you.â
Petersonâs carefree demeanor provoked Eleanor, âAnd youâre not allowed to come looking for me either.â
Peterson grinned, his smile as light as a feather, âDonât worry, Iâll definitely come looking for you whether thereâs a reason or not.â
Eleanor was speechless.
The three brothers, along with Eleanor, visited the company run by Bevisâ wife.
Peterson had mentioned that Bevisâ wife was an ordinary woman, not belonging to any wealthy or noble family. However, after meeting her, Eleanor realized that she was quite an affluent woman herself.
She was the founder of DK, the luxury brand, her social status was anything but ordinary.
It seemed that Peterson, coming from a noble family, had a different perception of what constitutes a noble lineage and wealth.
Eleanor was misled by Petersonâs comments and when Faustina, Bevisâ wife, visited with her child, she assumed that Faustina was a stay-at-home mom.
Seeing Faustina, dressed in a professional suit, high heels, navigating through the office, Eleanor was taken aback.
After finishing her work, Faustina lifted her eyes to meet Eleanor and the Sharp brothers, she quickly raised her hand in greeting before leading them to the reception room.
Faustina was confident and poised in her professional environment. Knowing that they were there for styling, she assigned a renowned stylist to Eleanor based on her physique and appearance.
Faustina patted Eleanorâs shoulder and said in a generous tone, âEleanor, I have to attend to a client, but donât worry. If you have any questions, talk to the stylist or my assistant.â
Afterward, Faustina arranged for her assistant to serve Eleanor milk and cake, ensuring the best service possible.
DK was primarily known for its luxury handbags, followed by clothing. Hence, the company was frequently visited by various stylists and designers.
All the clothes under DK were endorsed by Antoine. This was a classic case of âkeeping it in the familyâ. With the backing of his family and sister-in-
law, Antoineâs career in the film industry was flourishing.
As Eleanor got her makeover, Peterson, with a magazine in his hand, casually explained the family affairs and their businesses to her.
Bevis and Antoine were sons of her elder uncle, Cyril. The Sharp family had numerous businesses, and Cyril, unable to manage them all, entrusted the role of CEO to Bevis.
Bevis wasnât interested in business but accepted the position for the sake of the family. As the elder son, he shouldered the responsibilities, allowing Antoine to live a more carefree life.
Peterson, on the other hand, was the only child of her younger uncle, Derrick. Derrick also had many businesses under the Sharp family but Peterson didnât help him. When Eleanor asked him why, Peterson simply replied that he loved to have fun and didnât have the skills to help. To Eleanor, Peterson seemed more capable than his brothers.
Because Peterson was a mystery.
She wanted to know what Peterson was busy with, but he wouldnât tell her. Instead, he made excuses about running a winery or a bar. Eleanor didnât press the matter.
When she stopped asking, Peterson closed his magazine, leaned back, and said with a mysterious smile, âLetâs just say, I grew up with grandpa and did as he said.â
The stylist was still working on Eleanorâs hair, so she could only turn slightly to look at Peterson, âYour brothers are all doing their own thing, why do you only listen to Old Man Yates?â
âOnly you dare to call him Old Man Yates.â

Peterson joked and then casually added, âYou might not know, but our grandpa is known for his strict demeanor. My brothersâ personalities donât suit working under him.â Bevis was overly decisive and Antoine was too rebellious. Only he, Peterson, was the perfect balance between his two brothers, making him the choice companion for their grandfather.
Peterson was raised under a rigorous regimen. Guns and violence were common, and although he appeared elegant and dignified, there was a cold indifference in his eyes that showed he didnât value life.
In this regard, Peterson was similar to Yates, but Peterson retained his humanity. He wouldnât resort to violence unless necessary.
Eleanor didnât really care about Mr. Petersonâs story, she only cared about one thing â âWhat did you do when you were with your grandfather?â
