Chapter 49 

Upon hearing her words, Lucas’s heart skipped a beat or two, but he didn’t let it cloud his judgment. 

“This is a big matter. You’ll have to allow me some time to discuss it with my grandpa”

Pearl nodded. “Of course.” 

Lucas looked up at Pearl. “Isn’t it too risky to just rely on our two families for such a big project? The investment in the early stages is not small” 

“Yes. I considered the Parker family’s strength, so I pulled you in. If you think it’s risky, we can find another partner” Pearl agreed readily. 

Lucas’s eyes lit up. Then what about Marc.. 

“Apart F

I knew what Lucas wanted to say and directly excluded the candidate 

in his heart. 

Lucas said. “Why? Business is business. Regardless of geographical location or economic strength, Males Group is our best choice. Marc happens to have the same intention. Isn’t that just right” 

Pearl lowered her eyes and said indifferently, “I don’t want to work with him” 

“You’re a hule indiscriminate 

Lucas took the opportunity to educate Pearl. “That’s a separate matter. Marc is not someone who can’t differentiate between public and private matters. I believe you’re not either. Think about it. If our three families can join forces, well simply be invincible” 

Pearl frowned, just as she was about to speak, Lucas said, “You just returned to Woolery Group to take charge of the overall situation. It’s time for you to establish your prestige. From what I know, your two uncles originally bought that piece of land in the northern suburbs to build a golf course. If they come back and find out that you took the initiative to transform it into a horse ranch behind their backs, they will definitely hold you accountable with the board of directors. At that time, Marc and I can support you, right?” 

“Do you think I’m afraid of them” Pearl snorted disdainfully. 

Lucas said. “Of course, you’re not afraid, but with the Malex Group involved, you’ll be more confident in facing them, right! Plus, you can use the time to compare who looks better while working me or Marc 

Lucas had barely spoken a few serious words before he started to act flamboyantly, Pearl gave him an annoyed look and said, “Do I care?” 

Besides. Pearl had seen Marc in all kinds of situations. 

Lucas grinned and said, “Don’t worry. Mare and I can rach have 30% of the shares. The largest share will still be in your hands. You’ll be the boss, and he’ll have to listen to you. That sounds pretty great, right? We can leave all the tiring work to him.”– 

Pearl looked speechlessly at Lucas, who had a mischievous smile on his face. “Are you really friends?: 

“Were Trends,” Lucas said earnestly, “Isn’t teasing each other what friends do? Friends stand by each other through thick and thin, but when it comes to a beautiful woman, we men can be a bit fickle with our loyalties” 

Pearl nodded in agreement

The dishes kept coming. 

Lucas was a food enthusiast who knew his way around good cuisine. He couldn’t stop praising each dish and offered comments like a true 

connoissCUT 

Pearl. feeling hungry, focused on her meal and listened to Luca’s incessant reviews in silence as she continued to cat 

“Oh no. Why is this taste getting more and more familiar!” 

Lucas pursed his lips and suddenly remembered what Pearl had said when she came in. Lucas could not help but ask, “What’s the surname of the chef!” 

Pearl said calmly. “His surname is Gooper.” 

“Cooper!” Lucas’s eyes widened. “Could it be that state banquet chef, the 14th generation descendant of the Cooper family, Darren Cooper?” 

“Mr. Lucas, you’re quite impressive. You could tell right away that these are dishes I cooked.” 

The moment they mentioned Darren, he was here. He personally carried a plate of Ribeye Steak, wearing a white chef’s uniform, and greeted Pearl respectfully, saying, 1 heard you were here, so I came to say hello. 

“There’s no need to be so polite.” Pearl said calmly. “How many times have I told you that you don’t have to be so polite when you see me?

Darren was al 

all smiles, “I must still show proper o courtesy. After all, you and my father share the same seniority.” 

The fork in Lucas’s hand fell to the ground, and his jaw dropped. He looked at Darren, who was over 40 years old, in disbelief. “What did you say? She and your father share the same seniority?” 

“Yes,” Darren placed the Ribeye Steak on the table and said earnestly, “She is my grandfather’s direct disciple and my father’s junior fellow disciple.” 

Compared to Darren, a loving smile appeared on Pearl’s youthful face. 

Lucas was stunned again. 

What kind of scene was Lucas seeing? 

Lucas finally closed his jaw, but he still felt that the two of them were joking with him. He looked at Darren and said. “Mr. Cooper, isn’t that the Cooper family has traditionally passed down culinary skills within the family, and you typically favor male heirs?” 

“That’s right, but there are exceptions to everything
