Chapter 20

The project in Yrare had been under Neville’s management for nearly half a year. With construction about to commence, the fund of 600 million dollars for the project vanished.

Although the Preston family was rich enough to handle this, this amount of money wasn’t negligible. Neville had to trace the whereabouts of the missing funds.

When they had entered into their marriage, he had been explicit about his expectations. He made it clear that she was to play the role of Mrs. Preston and not to entertain any illusions beyond that. However, despite his warnings, she couldn’t help but fall for him.

Madison suddenly realized that he had quietly grown up into a young adult, mature and considerate

From now on, she wouldn’t miss any moment of his growth.

After breakfast, Madison informed Ross to go to the airport.

Ross had partied at the bar last night. He smelled of smoke and alcohol, with lipstick marks on his collar, looking like a carefree playboy.
