hapter 132 The Resemblance Is Uncanny
Roger, perceiving the underlying meaning, smiled and replied, “Dr. Lund, if it’s agreeable to you, Jacqueline will serve you wholeheartedly and carry out any tasks you assign.”
“Dad, what are you talking about?” Jacqueline stomped her foot in protest, glaring at Roger. However, her expression revealed that she was not entirely opposed to the suggestion. She seemed more embarrassed than anything else.
Emrys grinned and said, “I appreciate your kind offer, Mr. Balford, but I already have seven extraordinary and stunning sisters.”
After speaking, he stood up, walked out of the living room, and left the house with his bicycle.
As Roger observed Emrys‘ retreating figure, his eyes gleamed with excitement, and he exclaimed, “Dr. Lund is a remarkable individual with great potential. I believe he is destined for greatness. We, the Balford family, must maintain close contact with him. Don’t you agree, Jacqueline?”
“Hmm?” Jacqueline, lost in her thoughts, snapped back to reality upon hearing Roger’s words. “Yes, you’re absolutely right, Dad!”
Upon noticing her expression, Roger could not help but tease her, “Jacqueline, why do you look disappointed? Are you upset because Dr. Lund didn’t accept you as his servant?”
“What? I’m not…” Jacqueline, renowned for her ego, would never allow herself to be disappointed simply because Emrys declined to take her as his servant.
That would be too harsh a blow to her sense of self–worth.
Caught in the act of defending herself, Jacqueline’s words faltered as her eyes locked with Roger’s gaze, leaving her momentarily speechless.
Roger gave her a perplexed look. Indeed, it’s quite challenging to understand what goes on in a girl’s mind.
Meanwhile, at the Youngblood residence in Jazona, a woman of stunning beauty and elegance was captivated by her computer screen.
Her eyes were wide with disbelief as she absorbed the information displayed before her.
Her name was Lydia Ginger.
Despite being in her mid–forties, her diligent self–care was evident in her flawless complexion, free from blemishes and wrinkles.
Her features exuded a subtle allure, a testament to the grace of passing years. Lydia must have been an awe–inspiring beauty in her youth.
If Emrys were to catch sight of this enchanting woman, he would undoubtedly be taken aback, for she bore a striking resemblance to his extraordinary sister, Cordelia. They were both enchanting beauties.
Standing beside Lydia was a middle–aged man, the very same suited gentleman whom Emrys had encountered at the elevator of Maple Forest Hotel not long ago.
