At that moment, a very real suspicion suddenly arose in his heart. Hearing him ask about Veronica, Adeline's cool voice immediately turned serious.
"As the ruler of all Fies Erde, an ancient family like O'Brien has extremely strict requirements for the spouses of its family members."
"Family background, ability, vision, character, etiquette, knowledge. Every aspect must meet exceptionally high standards."
"Especially since the master's other half also involves numerous complicated interests such as inheritance rights, they need the formidable qualifications to shoulder the future development of Fies Erde in every field."
"So there has never been a definite conclusion regarding a marriage partner."
I knew it.
A wave of unsurprised confidence filled him. A massive bank, finance, shipping, oil. They had to understand every field and possess the family background to bear Fies Erde's future.
Other than Veronica, Fang Ran suspected there simply was no such person in the world.
And she was the hidden master of Fies Erde.
If she did not bring it up herself, who would dare urge her?
Thinking that this was probably the real reason, Fang Ran listened with relish to Adeline's explanation and thought of that woman's ever-present mystery.
He grabbed another handful of potato chips, his eyes sparkling with gossip-fueled excitement.
"Then, Adeline, after being with her for so long, haven't you seen any promising handsome guys?"
Though he asked that, he did not actually think there would be anyone. Then, just as he was wondering what to do about it, he looked at Adeline's cold and stunning figure before him.
He suddenly realized—wouldn't it be fine if those two got together!?
He imagined the noble, flawless silver-gray-haired mistress wearing a mysterious smile, taking the lead as she pushed down her silver-haired, reserved, taciturn female confidante.
Emmm. Thinking seriously.
That could totally work!
