“I knew, but since it was about your whole life, Mom still wanted to talk to him face to face.”
Britney reached out and covered her mouth, afraid she might not be able to stop herself from crying out loud.
Luckily, Lila didn’t notice anything strange about her and was still saying, “Mom was just afraid something might go wrong with the surgery, and I wouldn’t have time to ask–him to take good care of you.”
Britney reached up and grabbed the hand that was on top of her head.
It was really cold.
She held it tightly in her hand, trying to give her some warmth.
His voice was trembling a bit, “He’s been really busy lately, always on business trips. I haven’t seen him for a while. You know, Royarch Capital’s subsidiary just went public, so he’s got a lot on his plate. He hasn’t even had time to throw a celebration party yet.”
Hearing that, Lila could only sigh.
“Yeah, well, remember to tell him, no matter how busy he was, he still needed to take care of himself. He shouldn’t mess up his health at such a young age.”
“…Um, Mom, you should go to sleep soon.”
“Okay, you sleep too/”
The companion bed in the hospital was really hard, and Britney had

something on her mind, so she didn’t sleep well all night.
The next morning, I took Lila around for checkups.
Kellan told her that the experts‘ team would arrive on Monday, but he didn’t know the exact time.
Britney kept it in mind and planned to wait at the hospital entrance on Monday.
She hardly got any rest over the weekend, and would check her phone. whenever she had a moment to catch her breath.
Instagram was almost flooded by my coworkers‘ team–building posts.
After all, it was Sapphire Hot Springs Resort! How could I not show off?
The company used to have a lot of team building events, but Britney tried to pick places with the best value for money to keep the budget under control.
She basically didn’t consider high–end places like Sapphire Hot Springs Resort.
This time, Rodrick picked the most expensive hot spring resort in all of Riverton to back up Bianca, and he didn’t care about the budget at all.
Spent a fortune for a beauty.
It just made her seem really stingy before.
So Britney saw Colleague A comment under Colleague Y’s Instagram, saying, “This is what team building looks like.”
“At most, what we had before was just group activities for people who were basically treated like oxen and horses.”

Colleague B totally agreed and also said, “Ms. Webster is just the best. If you follow her, you’ll have a great life. She’s not only pretty and nice, but also comes from a good family and studied abroad. She and Mr. Livingston are a perfect match! Not like some people who haven’t seen the world and are so shabby. I don’t even want to comment on the places they picked! So petty!”
Colleague A quickly replied to her, “Did you get tipsy? Did you block that person?”
When Britney refreshed, that post was gone.
Looks like she was the someone they talked about.
In each post, Britney saw different sides of Rodrick and Bianca.
There was Bianca feeding Rodrick fruit.
There was also Rodrick feeding Bianca kebabs.
When the team building got to the second half, those two never showed up again.
In the video, someone was asking, “Where are Mr. Livingston and Ms. Webster? Why are they gone?”
“We were all adults, didn’t you get this? Had to ask!”
