Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 180

He couldn't quite put his finger on the mentality that had driven him to bring Liliana here.

But he was very satisfied with how tactfully she was behaving.

Douglas paused for a moment before saying softly, "Whose family she's from isn't important. What's important is that right now, I just want to focus on my work."

"You child," Chloe said, a little angry. "Work is endless, but fate doesn't wait! Don't miss your chance!"

"Mrs. Sewell has a point. Mr. Sewell should consider settling down first," Cedric added in agreement.

To Montgomery and Chloe, his words sounded like a clear expression of his displeasure with the Sewell family's move into real estate.

Montgomery immediately changed the subject. "He's definitely just making excuses because he doesn't want to get married. If the Forrest family comes across anyone suitable, please feel free to make an introduction."

"First, we should ask if Douglas has any requirements or standards."

Stoddard joined in. "Does it have to be someone from a family of equal status?"

Chloe opened her mouth to speak, but Douglas interrupted her. "No, that's not necessary. As long as we click."

"Well, there are many excellent young women out there…"

In an instant, the elders were all chattering away, discussing the matter.

Liliana didn't participate in the conversation at all.

She was seriously wondering when Cedric had become so childish and petty.

Since entering, she had just sat there, letting Cedric control the situation.

She could feel Cedric's gaze landing on her from time to time.

Especially when they were discussing Douglas's potential partner, his eyes were practically glued to her.

She shouldn't have taken the day off for this pointless exercise.

But if she hadn't come, she wouldn't have gotten her allowance.

About an hour later, the gathering finally broke up.
