She carried herself with dignity, dressed in a long pale purple dress, with an emerald gemstone necklace adorning her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was different from Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia’s beauty was mature and intelligent, full of elegance. Despite her well-preserved appearance, her age nearing forty was evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrarily, Rebecca embodied a timeless beauty, a combination of vivacity and fullness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other noblewomen, when compared to the two, fell short by quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite their dazzling array of jewels, their looks and demeanor were not in the same league.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rebecca, is this your husband?” Olivia asked as she approached, her eyes roaming curiously over the young man standing before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she surveyed him, she nodded approvingly, as if quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gesture was akin to a girlfriend’s mother seeing her daughter’s boyfriend for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca cleared her throat lightly and said, “Olivia, this is Fang Hao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Fang Hao and introduced, “This is Olivia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In total, five women had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from speaking to Olivia, Rebecca ignored the rest of the women completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the other women also pretended not to notice and maintained their pleasant smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were sizing up Fang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao stood up, and greeted, “Fang Hao. It’s an honor to meet Mrs. Olivia and the beautiful ladies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia quickly returned the greeting as well, “I’m pleased to meet you too, Mr. Fang Hao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia had already been informed about Fang Hao’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, to the other women, this gave them reason to look at him afresh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had noticed Rebecca’s accompanying man earlier, and were impressed by his appearance and manners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he looked younger, even younger than their own children, they did not think much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing Olivia’s reaction and hearing recent rumors about Rebecca’s change of husband, they quickly caught on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it’s quite liberal here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman marrying a younger husband isn’t unusual, it’s just less common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia took a seat next to Fang Hao, “Mr. Fang Hao, are you a transmigrator?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao sat straight, “Yes, my city is near Lyss City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another woman questioned, “A transmigrator, huh? How strong is your city, do you have any industries?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao shifted his gaze and responded, “The city’s development is quite satisfactory, with a few thousand troops. We have opened a textile store; the clothing business is doing well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another woman followed up, “What scale? How does it compare to Fairy Dream Tower?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao smiled and replied as if a machine programmed to answer, “In terms of clothing, our business is doing better than Fairy Dream Tower’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? Even better than Fairy Dream Tower?” the women appeared skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao nodded, “The garments we produce are indeed more popular than those of Fairy Dream Tower. What Rebecca is wearing is our own production.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this revelation, all eyes were once again on Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon their arrival, they had noticed Rebecca’s dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the stockings she wore over her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These noblewomen decked in expensive and extravagant attire and jewelry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rebecca’s dress was even more audacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It highlighted a woman’s figure perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this gathering, she was undoubtedly the center of everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the noblewomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men in the hall were also stealing glances at Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rebecca, stand up and let us see,” Olivia said, taking Rebecca’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without refusing, Rebecca stood up and turned around for everyone to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t this a bit too daring?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The fabric feels really nice to touch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The craftsmanship isn’t bad either. How did you achieve this glossiness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, the other noblewomen who had accompanied Olivia had started surrounding Rebecca and engaging in conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca quietly answered their questions and introduced the matters related to Bone Textile Store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the distance between them seemed to lessen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia found the dress that accentuated the figure particularly intriguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was more curious about the young man sitting next to her, who was clearly about the same age as her son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you and Rebecca meet?” Olivia shifted a bit closer to Fang Hao to inquire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At that time, I was setting up a mercenary group in Lyss City. We worked together to annihilate the Faceless, and thus grew close,” Fang Hao continued answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia nodded, “This is the first time I’ve seen Rebecca admire a man so much. You must treat her well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao shrugged, “She’s in power, you should be telling her to treat me well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia chuckled, finding Fang Hao’s reply entertaining.\u003C\u002Fp>",865,"2026-05-30T09:05:51.865Z","2026-06-01T04:30:50.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","6ce82fc573a6b8bf015dde264c94f67035cf0341d4830d66c48713514c229484","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-688","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-686",1483,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-cover.jpg"]
