Sometimes, things don’t wait to wither at their peak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to the trash can and tossed the leaf inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Donovan Family was particular about cleanliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Dawson Carmichael moved the family to the suburbs, the place had been primarily the office area for the entire Donovan Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was limited to the front courtyard only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The backyard remained off-limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those whom Finnegan Springs valued highly, or crucial business partners, had the chance to visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Springs has gone back to the villa to rest, and he didn’t take you with him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawson Carmichael asked as she continued to sweep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more gentlemanly a person, the more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utterly hypocritical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After experiencing the ups and downs of life, Dawson Carmichael had long since grown indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Springs had some urgent business, apparently a business matter. So he told me to look around on my own, to consider this place like my own home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed responded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t even met Finnegan Springs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, that didn’t prevent him from speaking on Finnegan Springs’s behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Finnegan Springs had even a hint of unwillingness, then Julius would ensure Springs himself said so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fist often served as the most convincing evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one punch wasn’t enough, then two would suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My own home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawson Carmichael scoffed coldly, without speaking further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept her head down and continued to sweep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a large courtyard, and you’re the only one? The Donovan Family is rich enough to rival a country, why so stingy?” Julius Reed stepped in front of Dawson Carmichael, slightly leaning forward: “However, although there’s only one person, this servant’s demeanor surpasses that of many young ladies from grand households. Having seen countless people, I feel you must come from a prestigious family, but… how have you fallen to this current state?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he looked around casually, pretending to examine the yard nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are mistaken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawson Carmichael lowered her head and stayed quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed to dislike conversing with Julius Reed, and holding her broom, she walked alone towards the deepest part of the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nights in Star City were cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on Dawson Carmichael, there was only a thin layer of clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her scars and weathered appearance weren’t feigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed paused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he disappeared into the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nelson, dressed up beautifully, stood eagerly at the hotel entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been many years since she last saw Dawson Carmichael.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nurturing kindness was greater than the kindness of giving birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Dawson Carmichael not picked her up, Nelson might have died on the street by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After such a long separation, Nelson was filled with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw Julius Reed slowly emerging, she called out anxiously, “Let’s go! You’ll have to meet the parents sooner or later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Julius Reed turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, I was wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nelson hurriedly ran after him, grinning, “Let’s go quick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um… you might want to be prepared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed spoke with a bit of hesitation, “After so many years, the Donovan Family might have changed completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know something?” Nelson was meticulous in her thoughts. Catching the implied meaning in his words, she immediately sensed something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing. Just a heads-up. Think about it, four years ago I was a revered leader, and back then you wouldn’t have even been qualified to serve as my maid. But now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pah! Scumbag!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nelson’s just-kindled suspicions were instantly extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up! Let me tell you, my foster mother’s family is a wealthy clan in Star City, loaded with money! I was born into wealth. Even without being the saintess of Azure Mountain, I’d still live a life without worries about food and clothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, her eyes glowed with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the hotel, the two got into a sedan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Templeton Lena drove personally, heading to the Donovan Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approximately twenty minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car stopped at the great gates of the Donovan Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, the Donovan Corporation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remodeled Donovan Mansion had become a landmark building in Star City!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star City’s residents took pride in entering this office building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a big change.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nelson stood at the entrance, somewhat wistfully remarking, “When I left, the doors here were still old-fashioned. And now, they’ve turned into modern automatic doors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many years since her last visit, it was a nostalgic return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was filled with great emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking she would see Dawson Carmichael soon, Nelson pulled out her sword and glanced at her reflection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longsword was sheathed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss, you cannot enter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could approach the automated door, a security guard promptly came over and stopped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, you’re not an employee of our Donovan Corporation,” the guard said politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you know I’m not?” Nelson didn’t get angry; strictly speaking, this was also her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Donovan Corporation employees wear a highly unified outfit while working. You’re dressed too luxuriously. If you are here to discuss business, I can notify someone. Rules are rules, I’m sorry.” The guard spoke sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Donovan Corporation, Star City’s largest, venerable wealthy clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strict rules, immaculate attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Finnegan Springs took charge, the corporate image was emphasized even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Employees wore uniforms to work, each bearing a name badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name badge was their pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it was a symbol of their identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finnegan Springs once said at a staff meeting that he wanted the people of Star City to take pride in the Donovan Corporation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a uniform and without a name badge, Nelson was naturally recognized as not an employee of the Donovan Corporation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could you please inform them that I’m Nelson, your chairman Dawson Carmichael’s daughter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the guard’s blockade, Nelson wasn’t annoyed at all but actually quite pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My mother runs the company very strictly; even I can’t get in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Julius Reed with a smile, her eyes filled with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Nelson’s words, the guard inwardly cursed calling her a lunatic, but he still patiently explained, “No matter who you are, I can only let you in if I receive a call from the chairman. If your mother is Dawson Carmichael, please give her a call.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nelson didn’t know that Dawson Carmichael had been reduced to sweeping the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still believed her mother was inside the office building, controlling everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Julius Reed didn’t say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things are better left unsaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But…” Nelson began anxiously, “I lost contact with my mother a year ago. She might have changed her phone number. Could you help me notify her, please?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m really sorry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard looked troubled: “It’s the rule; we’re just following orders, please don’t make this difficult for me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, the guard’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just send the message, and this Rolex is your reward. You know, someone of my status wanting to see your chairman wouldn’t be without cause.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed tossed the Rolex to the guard: “Much obliged.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard hesitated, then thought Julius Reed made a lot of sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t afford to obstruct someone who might be a godsend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he picked up the phone: “I’m the gatekeeper. Someone claims to be the daughter of the Donovan chairman, named Nelson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the guard’s face drastically changed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please come in! The chairman is waiting for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said apologetically with a smile, “I had no idea it was you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No worries.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed nodded and entered with Nelson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve had to pay again.” Nelson turned around, snatching back the Rolex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also gave the guard a disdainful look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The joy of being rich lies in the act of losing, doesn’t it?” Julius Reed waved his hand and said with a light smile, “Come on, let’s go see your foster mother.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1431,"2026-06-06T17:05:25.827Z",1,"novelbin.me","78589f74740b620fe753158032ce14fe44e0b9d2b42c7b24e03505436c4f6642","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1204","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1202",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
