Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 533: The Life of a Prestigious Lady (2)_1

Julia Bluen was a bit worried about her young sister-in-law's future, which she feared would be filled with many hardships.

Adele Horne finally stopped throwing darts. She stood before the paper, looking at the black character riddled with holes like a hornet's nest. Suddenly, she reached out, tore the paper down, crumpled it fiercely, and threw it hard onto the ground. Still not satisfied, she lifted her foot and stomped on the crumpled paper again and again.

Her actions and the resentment in her heart somehow caused Noah Reyes, far away, to suddenly feel a sense of oppression, as if a needle had pricked his heart, making him frown unconsciously.

At that moment, Noah Reyes was sitting in a particularly large conference room. It was a secret meeting place for the high-level managers and elders of his organization; not even all of them knew its location. From the outside, this conference room was situated within a commercial building, an integrated complex housing many company offices. It typically didn't attract much attention. Many people came and went—some with status, some without, all sorts of individuals. Because it was so ordinary, it provided excellent cover for the members of Noah Reyes's organization.

The meeting had ended, but those present were reluctant to leave. They were still trying to press Noah Reyes about an important issue they raised frequently, through various means, almost daily: his marriage.

Before Noah Reyes now lay two rows of photographs, each featuring a beautiful woman with various skin tones and types of beauty, as if they were contestants in a beauty pageant.

When he frowned, the elder sitting to his left began repeating the same oft-heard advice they had given countless times. Seeing the frown, the elder knew Noah Reyes was displeased but insisted anyway, "Young Master, you're already in your thirties. It's time to get married. When the Head of our organization was your age, his son was already ten years old."

Noah Reyes glanced casually at the two rows of photographs of beautiful women and responded indifferently, "An eyesore."

In his heart, there was only that little vixen.

To him, all other women looked plain and tasteless.

Naturally, the scene that flashed through his mind was when his car had nearly collided with hers.

She was a book nestled deep in his heart, one he was waiting to return to, to find her and slowly turn its pages.

"An eyesore?"

When everyone heard his comment, their expressions turned peculiar, and they were utterly baffled. These beauties were ones they had expended a great deal of effort selecting, any one of whom could easily captivate any man. Yet their Young Master had just called them an eyesore! Normally, the Young Master hardly spoke a word, but now that he did…

Could it be that the Young Master wasn't fond of women?

At this thought, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.

Noah Reyes didn't care what these people thought of him. He stood up, took Deon Myers with him, and left the conference room, vanishing from everyone's presence in an instant.

Meanwhile, no one outside could see him leaving the office building.

「Adele Horne was still stomping on the crumpled paper.」

Unable to help herself, Julia Bluen spoke out with a chuckle, "Adele, stop stomping. That paper is completely shredded already."

Startled by Julia's voice, Adele Horne spun around. Seeing Julia looking at her with an amused smile, her face reddened. With a mix of shame and irritation, she grumbled, "Sister-in-law, couldn't you have made a sound when you came in? Did you want to scare me to death?"

Julia stood up and walked over to her. She looked down at the crumpled paper, then at Adele, before saying with a laugh, "I did knock, but there was no answer. When I saw the door was unlocked, I pushed it open. I didn't expect to find someone teaching her baby to hate its father. Adele, be careful with prenatal influences."

Adele's face grew even redder. She turned her head away and sat back on the bed, sulking.

Julia sat down beside her, wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and said, "Alright, don't be like this. You don't need to worry about anything; you have us, your family, as your support. We'll all love your baby dearly. Don't harbor any more resentment or hatred. Just think of this as a gift from heaven. I'm sure your baby will be very pretty and adorable, because our Adele is quite a beauty herself."

"Sister-in-law, I never knew you had such a smooth-talking side," Adele said, her mood improving after Julia's words. She glanced sideways at Julia, a smile already on her face.

Julia laughed. "There's a lot about me you don't know. By the way, Adele, tonight Mom and I are going to Mrs. White's birthday party. Do you want to come with us?"

This was something she had just learned upon returning home; Aunt Mei had told her, mentioning it was an instruction from her mother-in-law. To ensure she maintained an elegant and proper presence for the evening's party, her mother-in-law had already gone out for beauty treatments.

In Upper Class Society, such parties were common. She had been invited to many similar events before but had always declined, citing her busy work schedule and lack of time. She genuinely disliked attending such parties. Now, things were different. She wasn't working every day and was often idle at home, so those socialites keen to curry favor with her tried every conceivable way to invite her. Fearing she would refuse, they had resorted to inviting her through Mila Anderson, her mother-in-law.

And now that Mila had left word, it would be difficult for her to refuse.

"I don't like going to those kinds of parties. I detest those so-called socialites; they're just a bunch of gossipy, boring women with no meaningful activities, aside from drinking and chatting about scandals. Sister-in-law, you didn't use to attend these parties either. Why... It's because Mom asked you to go, right?"

"Probably because Mom was asked to bring me along," Julia replied, not wanting to delve into how the request had been made.

"That's true. You're now a genuine socialite everyone wants to connect with. Sister-in-law, do you think it's easy being the lady of such a prestigious family?" Adele asked with a laugh, fully aware of her sister-in-law's current status and value.

The Horne family was already one that people flocked to, and it was common for everyone to try and flatter Glades Horne, the family's heir. As his wife, it was only natural that she would become a prime target for invitations from these socialites.
