Chapter 201-210

Chapter 201 Chapter 201 There used to be a saying that the more a mother-in-law saw her son-in-law, the more she liked him. Thalia had encountered Richard several times before. At first, she assumed someone of his stature would be hard to get close to. After all, the rumors described Richard as having unpredictable moods and an intimidating, harsh presence.

But once she spent time with him, she realized that Richard had impeccable manners despite being only twenty-five and already at the pinnacle of wealth and success. Though he appeared distant and reserved on the outside, he was steady and composed and always treated her and her husband with kindness and respect.

Moreover, Thalia was quite confident. She wasn’t one to boast, but with Tiffany’s striking beauty and sharp, clever personality, it was hard to believe that the famously aloof Richard wasn’t interested in her. After all, he had handed it over to the Kelley family without any strict conditions or demands in the fiercely competitive Old Alley renovation project, treating it almost like a casual decision.

It included the humility he displayed by treating them as elders and showing the respect expected from someone younger. It wasn’t a case of instantly connecting by coincidence-it was clearly because of Tiffany. While Charlie might not have picked up on it, Thalia understood it perfectly.

Charlie paused momentarily, then said, “You’re overthinking it, honey. Mr. Hampton isn’t someone we can get close to like that. People must address him respectfully whether it’s Lovell City or elsewhere.” In comparison, the Kelley family was worlds apart from him, like heaven and earth. Charlie shook his head, not even daring to entertain the thought.

He immediately noticed Thalia’s expression turn cold and unsettling. “Are you saying our daughter isn’t good enough for him?” she asked.

“No, no, no. Our daughter is a stunning beauty; she would be more than a match for anyone!” Charlie replied.
