Chapter 818 Win My Dream Man

Terence put down his phone and grabbed the invitation card. His eyebrows were knitted as he raked at the card with full concentration. "Nathan, how do you think Ralph will respond to us this time?"

Nathan pursed his lips, thought for a while and said, "Mr. An, I think he will agree to your invitation if there is no exception. After all, this looks like a good deal.

Moreover, he hadn't refused the offer, considering how big the banquet is."

"What if there is an exception?"

Terence put the invitation on the table and lit his cigarette with a lighter.

Nathan was smart. "Exception? There would not be an exception unless someone intervenes. But that's not likely to happen, unless Miss Qu...

No-no, that seems impossible,"

Nathan said almost as if he was considering all the possibilities while fiercely shaking his head.

He felt that Chelsea was in love with Terence and that she would never create a fuss and cause him trouble.

"Nathan, although the West River City is under the control of the Qu family, I think we should make arrangements in advance, just in case, you know..." Terence said thoughtfully flicking the ash from his cigarette.

Ralph had a reputation for turning against people.

Negotiating with him was an easy task, but Terence would be helpless if he broke their deal. He had no idea about what was going on in Ralph's mind.

Terence had to be prepared for everything. It wasn't JA City. He must expect the unexpected at all times.

"Yes, Mr. An." Nathan nodded and said hesitantly, "But the Qu Mansion is heavily guarded. I'm afraid that we will be stuck there if anything goes wrong."

"It's not that serious. Just ask our people to stand by at all times. This is just to prepare for the worst. Ralph doesn't have the guts to offend me."

Terence put out his cigarette, stood up and walked into the bedroom.

It was sunny the next day.

In the morning, Chelsea had sent a car to welcome Terence to the Qu Mansion.

Ralph was waiting at the door of the mansion to welcome Terence in person.

"Dad, you are making a big fuss about it. You are behaving as if you are waiting for your son-in-law to arrive."

Chelsea chuckled as she held her father's arm.

Ralph smiled in return. "Chelsea, but is it not what you want?" He glanced at his daughter and understood what she had been thinking. Chelsea's love for Terence was written all over her face. She was never good at hiding her emotions.

Chelsea took out a piece of paper

materialistic possessions. Love was a higher power, which united two people.

"You are still old-school, Mr. An. Don't let your marriage certificate decide your future. If it helps your business, then why not give it a shot? You've got to be practical, Mr. An."

Ralph smiled sweetly and refilled Terence's cup.

Terence lowered his head to hide his annoyance. "I have heard that Mr. Qu is a great courtyard designer. I was in a hurry last time. Do you have the time to show me around now?"

Ralph let out a fit of cough after hearing Terrence's words. "Sure. Why not?"

He stood up and motioned Terrence to the direction of the courtyard.

As soon as they stood up, Chelsea walked in.

"Dad, you carry on with your work. I can take Mr. An on a tour around our courtyard."

Chelsea strutted towards the courtyard without waiting for their response.

She had dressed up to impress Terrence. Her chestnut hair was curled to perfection. She was wearing a tight, black skirt that perfectly fitted her pert, little waist. A leather jacket teasingly hung on her shoulders and she completed her exquisite look with flat boots.

"Okay, you guys carry on. Chelsea, don't forget to take good care of Mr. An."

Ralph smiled as he cast a knowing glance at his daughter.

"Oh, don't worry, Dad. I will take good care of him." Chelsea fluttered her long eyelashes and pouted at Terence, feigning innocence.

Terence narrowed his eyes and forced a smile. He had attempted to change the topic to shut Ralph's rambles, but he had fallen into the pit that he had dug himself.

He was in deep trouble now. He had not expected Chelsea's announced entrance.
