Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Esther was not an idiot, so she also realized what happened and asked in a hurry, “Are they a young man and a young woman?”

“Yes, that man claims to be Master Gibson’s grandson.”

Esther guessed the correct answer. No wonder James and Anne took a business trip to Randall on the same day. It turned out…

Esther turned to look at Terence, who had a long face, and asked, “Terence, what should we do?”

Terence thought for a moment and politely said to the man before him, “You must be Mr. Russell’s assistant. Mr. Korbin, I am Terence Gibson, and the man who just came is my nephew. I’m afraid he will make mistakes, so I come to help him. Please let us in. If James can’t say it clearly, can I talk to Mr. Russell?”

“Are you Master Gibson’s youngest son? The one who just returned from abroad?” Korbin was surprised.

“Yes, this is my wife, Esther.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Korbin.” Esther greeted Korbin politely.

Korbin had heard a lot about Terence and it was the first time he saw Terence. Korbin looked Terence up and down. Without any hesitation, Korbin nodded and smiled. “No problem. Please follow me to the reception room and rest for a while.”

“Thanks, Mr. Korbin.” Terence took Esther’s hand and followed Korbin into the mansion.

The Chaney Mansion was almost the same as the other houses in this old town which were all made of wood. The mansion was extremely large, in which flowers, plants, trees, pavilions, and buildings could be seen everywhere. It was indeed a perfect place for retirement.

After leading them to a small reception room, Korbin was just about to leave when he heard a furious roar from the main reception room, “You don’t even know where the Fairy Mountain is, but you told me you went there before. Do you think I am a fool?”

People in the small reception room were all stunned. Korbin hurriedly said, “Please take a seat. I’ll go and see what happened.” After saying that, he quickly walked to the main reception room.

As soon as Korbin entered, he saw Russell’s angry face. The two guests looked pale. Only Russell’s eldest grandson, Tyler, who was sitting next to Russell, chuckled. “Grandpa, calm down. Miss Anne didn’t lie to you on purpose. Anyhow, it is too dangerous for a girl to go to the Fairy Mountain.”

As he spoke, he stared straight at Anne’s breast and was about to drool.

Seeing this, Russell got even more disgusted with her. He directly said to her, “I think we should stop. Would you mind rolling yourselves out?”

To get this project and take the credit from Clark, James, who was annoyed from being shouted at, patiently tried to please Russell. “Mr. Russell, we especially come to visit you from City R. Could you talk about the details of the contract with us?”

Russell waved his hand impatiently. “No. I won’t agree until you know well about the Fairy Mountain. Also, ask your assistant to get well dressed next time. It is not a brothel here.”

After Anne heard this, her face darkened with fury. And she was on the verge of freaking out.

However, she had to get this project and marry into the Gibson family. Thinking of this, she calmed down.

She didn’t dare to look Russell in the eye. Even though Tyler kept staring at her, she sneered, stood up, and said to Russell, “Mr. Russell, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. We will get everything done before we come again.”

After saying that, she said to James, who looked unwilling, “Mr. James, let’s go.”

James blushed and smiled at Russell. After flattering Russell for a while, he walked out with Anne.

“I’ll see you off.” Tyler stood up from the chair.

“Go back to your room!” Russell roared at Tyler because he knew what Tyler was thinking.

After Tyler left, Korbin walked to Russell and said that two people from the Gibson family were waiting in a small reception room. Hearing this, Russell impatiently said, “I don’t want to see them. Ask them to go!”

“That man claimed to be the youngest son of Master Gibson. He just came back from abroad.” Korbin explained.

“Terence Gibson?” Russell was a little surprised.

“Yes.”

“Why is he here?” Russell mocked. “I haven’t even seen him before.”

“He said he was to help his nephew. If Mr. James fails, he will talk to you himself. He hopes you can give him a chance.” Korbin hesitated and asked, “Mr. Russell, will you see him?”

“He is Darron and Ann’s son…” Russell muttered and then sneered. “Ask him to wait. Just tell him I didn’t sleep well last night and want to rest now.”

“Yes, sir.” Korbin nodded.

James and Anne walked out of the main reception room. When they passed by the small reception room, they saw Esther, who was handsome, and Esther, who looked charming and was dressed elegantly, and stopped.

Anne glanced at the graceful cheongsam on Esther. Russell had said Anne was dressed like a prostitute, so Anne was furious.

Anne looked down at her own clothes which looked indecent but sexy and wondered why Russell insulted her. What she wore was the most beautiful, fashionable, and most popular.

She looked up at James and found that he was staring at Esther with appreciation in his eyes.

She elbowed James’s waist and angrily said, “What are you looking at? Hurry up and go!”

James was shocked by her and looked away awkwardly. Then, he greeted Terence with a guilty conscience, “Hello, Uncle Terence.”

Terence saw the look James had just gave on Esther. However, he did not show his displeasure but said indifferently, “Come here on behalf of me? I hope you didn’t screw it up.”

As a member of the Gibson family, James always hung out with those who were born with silver spoons. Seemingly, he was well-connected, but in fact, none of his friends could do him a favor. It was not easy for him to see Russell.

Therefore, to get the project of Fairy Mountain, he had to come before Terence and claim to be on behalf of Terence.
