Chapter 19: Chapter 19 The Flower Bug’s Husband-Chasing Plan_1"This..." Adele Horne was troubled. The entire Valence Group was under her eldest brother’s control. None of the other brothers had ever been involved, let alone her. Besides, Orlando Evans hadn’t studied to be a secretary, nor did she have any work experience. How could she be her brother’s secretary? "Orlando, I’m afraid... I can’t help you with this." A flicker of displeasure appeared in Orlando’s eyes, but it was transient. She quickly spoke in a gentle tone, "No worries. I’ll start by making a move at home. As long as Glades reacts to me, I’ll have him take me to the company." "Yeah, good luck!" Adele Horne hadn’t caught the displeasure in Orlando’s eyes and was completely unaware that Orlando’s kindness to her wasn’t out of true friendship. 「Tibet.」 The wind howled and snow kept falling, a dark sky shrouding the earth. Although it was only early afternoon, it felt like dusk. In Marcel Horne’s private room, he stood by the window, staring solemnly at the snow dancing outside. Behind him, Ruby Bluen lay on his bed, still a little pale and covered with a thick military quilt. In the room, aside from him and Ruby, there was also an army doctor. After a while, Marcel turned around. The army doctor finally spoke, "Captain, her altitude sickness isn’t too severe. A few days of rest here and she should be fine." Marcel glanced at Ruby, who was watching him with wide eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?" "If the Captain isn’t at ease, we can send her back to the Military District. The altitude there is lower than here. Plus, with more people around and better medical facilities, there’s nothing to worry about," the army doctor replied instinctively. However, to Ruby’s ears, this sounded like the army doctor was suggesting Marcel send her to the Military District in Tibet, which was very far away. She didn’t want to go. She wanted to stay in this camp compound, close to Marcel. With this thought, Ruby immediately sat up and hurriedly said, "Marcel, I’m fine, really! I’m not dizzy at all, and my chest doesn’t feel tight anymore. I just need to wear all the clothes I brought, I..." "Shut up! Lie down!" Marcel let out a cold growl. His stern, eagle-like eyes swept over her, carrying the distinctive authority of a soldier. Ruby, usually articulate as the Chief Financial Officer at the Bluen consortium, was instantly speechless and obediently lay down. "Cover yourself with the blanket! Sleep!" The ensuing command from Marcel drilled into Ruby’s ears. Ruby playfully saluted him. With the officer commanding her like that, she simply had to comply. But judging by his tone, she didn’t have to worry about him sending her away immediately. With this reassurance, Ruby settled down for the time being, pulled the blanket over herself, closed her beautiful eyes, and gradually drifted into sleep. Seeing her so cooperative, the tense lines on Marcel’s face softened a touch. He said to the army doctor, "You can leave for now. The wind is strong and the snow is heavy. She’s been jostled all the way here. Let’s let her rest here for a few days and see how things go." The army doctor said nothing further, took his medical kit, and left Marcel Horne’s dormitory. Gazing at Ruby Bluen sleeping peacefully, Marcel Horne watched, somewhat bewildered. All of this felt like a dream to him. And did he wish for the dream to continue, or to wake up from it immediately? After lunch with the old lady, Julia Bluen was held back by her and not allowed to leave. She could only stay at the Horne mansion to chat idly with her. Glades Horne needed to return to the company that afternoon to handle some matters. As he was leaving, Julia Bluen couldn’t help but pull him aside and quietly ask, "Should we tell Grandma about our situation first?" To her surprise, Glades Horne gave a sly smile, his eyes twinkling deviously. He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Don’t you think it would be even better to wait until everyone is here tonight to tell them?" Their marriage was like a massive bomb; it would be such a waste to use it just on Grandma. It would only be thrilling if it exploded when everyone was back. Julia Bluen was stunned. She hadn’t expected Glades Horne to be so devious! "Okay!" Julia Bluen, after her initial shock, also chuckled quietly. She could imagine how shocked everyone would be when Glades Horne placed the marriage certificate in front of them, especially her sister-in-law who had warned her. Yes, she could be quite wicked herself. Thus, Glades Horne went back to work at Valence Group, and Julia stayed at the grand Horne mansion to keep the old lady company. Time flew by. The setting sun, like an old bull, sank reluctantly into the western hills. The black curtain of nightfall descended, drawn slowly over the earth. The masters of the Horne household returned one after another. Every one of them, upon seeing Julia Bluen, first paused in surprise, then their faces turned sullen. They glared at her with displeasure, their eyes full of the unspoken question: What are you doing here? Hasn’t your Bluen Family embarrassed ours enough already? But with the old lady present, none of them dared to utter a word. Adele Horne also returned. As soon as she walked into the hall with Orlando Evans, she shouted, "Mom, I have something to tell you! Orlando is going to stay with us for a while... Julia Bluen?" Her words came to an abrupt halt when she saw Julia Bluen sitting beside the old lady. Her eyes fixed angrily on Julia, while Orlando Evans, who trailed behind with a suitcase, flashed a look of hatred. Adele Horne couldn’t believe her warning had been in vain; Julia Bluen had stepped into the Horne household once again! This was despicable! Julia Bluen had clearly promised me! "Julia Bluen, how dare you come here? Have you forgotten what you promised me? Get out! Get out right now! Our family doesn’t welcome you!" Adele Horne’s young, pretty face flushed scarlet with a mixture of rage and embarrassment. Julia Bluen only glanced at her sister-in-law out of the corner of her eye without speaking, because she saw Glades Horne enter with a stern expression. Standing behind Adele Horne, Glades Horne’s tall figure naturally exuded a cold presence that Adele immediately sensed, making her feel the pressure from behind. With Orlando suddenly tugging at her arm, Adele looked back, bewildered, only to meet her eldest brother’s chilling glare. The one who had been so imperious just a moment ago immediately switched to a fawning, ingratiating smile. "Eldest Brother, you’re back." Follow current novels on freewe(b)novel.c(o)m
