Chapter23
She kept pushing him to go into business.
Although Teagan didn’t like socializing, he quit his job and went into business for the sake of Jazlynn.
Teagan was intelligent and practical in his work. Soon, he made a name for himself in the antique business.
Later on.
As the Schwartz family’s business grew bigger and bigger, Teagan had less and less time to come home.
The last time Valerie saw him was on the clean hospital bed.
Teagan kept holding her with his thin hands, saying, “Valerie, those antiques are all yours. Remember, they are for you only. Never…never g them to anyone, including your mother.”
Back then, Valerie didn’t understand what her father meant.
It was not until she saw Landen and Abbigail at Teagan’s funeral that she finally understood.
It turned out that, when Teagan busied earning money outside, Jazlynn couldn’t bear the loneliness and had an affair with Landen, and the even had a daughter.
All the family assets that Teagan had saved were given to Jazlynn.
Only the antiques from that villa were firmly under Valerie’s control.
She brought this marriage gift with her from the north to the south, and backward.
That was the only aspiration her father left her, so she would fight tooth and nail to preserve it.
Suddenly, a text message popped up.
It was sent by Ricky.
Valerie snapped back to reality.
It read, “Let’s meet on Wednesday night at the entrance of Scarlet Hotel.”
Scarlet Hotel was where Valerie currently stayed.
She frowned and texted, Isn’t it scheduled to do marriage registration on Friday?”
Seeing the message, Ricky could imagine the disdain on Valerie’s face. The smile on his lips deepened a little more.
“Well, we are getting married for the sake of alliance without affection, but after all, we’ll spend the rest of our lives together. I don’t want to be captured by reporters on the day of our marriage registration, with news of a newlywed couple turning a cold shoulder to each other.
“Therefore, it is necessary to meet and practice a little bit in advance.”
