Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Glades Horne’s Worries (6)_1

"No, Rachel Bailey refuses to work in any company. I have no idea what she plans to do. Alright, I will arrange for someone to deliver the gown to her later."

"That will be all." Glades Horne had hung up the call, not aware that Julia Bluen had mentioned taking care of Rachel Bailey’s gown. He was just being particularly thoughtful.

After seeing him off, Julia Bluen returned to her own home and did not go out. Instead, she stayed at home and began organizing the clothes she would take with her to the Horne household.

Her heart was still a little nervous—it was only natural for a bride-to-be.

In two more days, the wedding would take place.

She was about to officially become the young mistress of the Horne Family and could no longer escape from becoming Glades Horne’s true wife.

Last night, the two of them had fallen asleep in each other’s arms again. The image of her sister’s face would always flash through her mind, causing her body to tense up stiff as a corpse. Seeing her like this, his heart overflowed with pity.

"Julia."

Scarlett Taylor stood in front of the open door, gently knocking a few times and calling out before entering the room. She saw Julia Bluen standing in front of the wardrobe, looking heavily preoccupied, and asked worriedly, "What’s wrong? Are you troubled about something?"

She stepped forward, pulled Julia Bluen to the bed, and they both sat down together.

"Julia, talk to me if there’s something on your mind. The wedding is in two days. Are you nervous? Or can you not accept Glades as your husband?" Scarlett Taylor asked with concern.

Julia Bluen smiled faintly and shook her head. She had slowly grown accustomed to the change in their relationship; she was just feeling a bit reflective.

She had thought that she would watch her sister marry happily into the Horne Family, but on the wedding day, it would be her holding Glades Horne’s arm, stepping into married life.

After all, she had always stayed by her parents’ side. Now she was about to be married into a family with whom she originally had no connection, to start a new life and face a new path. It was natural to feel reluctant to leave her parents. Although the Horne family also resided in T City, Golden Kirin Garden was still some distance from their Luxury Flower Garden. Moreover, after the wedding, as her parents had advised her that day, she would be a wife and a daughter-in-law. She would no longer enjoy the freedom and ease she had as a daughter.

"Mom." She turned her head to look at Scarlett Taylor, her eyes filled with both reluctance and reassurance. "My sister hasn’t been found yet, and I’m about to get married. Dad and my brother are always busy with consortium affairs, and you’ll be alone at home. You need to take good care of yourself. When I’m free, I will come back to visit you. By the way, Glades has already agreed; after the wedding, he will have someone search for my sister’s whereabouts."

Listening to her daughter’s heartwarming words, Scarlett Taylor felt a mix of happiness and sorrow. She smiled tenderly, gently patting Julia Bluen’s hand, "Mom isn’t a three-year-old child. I can take care of myself. Besides, the Horne Family isn’t that far from our house, just a half-hour drive. When I miss you, I’ll drive there myself. When you have time, spend it with your mother-in-law and the old lady. And don’t forget, you still need to manage your dowry. Remember what Glades said: once those companies and chain stores are transferred to your name, the Valence Group will no longer be involved. Whether they continue to operate will depend entirely on your abilities."

Julia Bluen nodded. She would try her best to run them and definitely not let any company or chain store close down on her watch.

"If Glades has agreed to look for your sister, I believe she will be found soon." When mentioning her runaway elder daughter, Scarlett Taylor still felt a heavy stone pressing on her heart. Even now, no one understood why Ruby Bluen had run away from her wedding.

"Mhm, so Mom, don’t worry, be happy, and think on the bright side of things," Julia Bluen continued soothingly.

Gazing deeply at Julia Bluen, Scarlett Taylor nodded, stretched out her arms, and embraced her daughter. Their silent embrace conveyed a myriad of unsaid words and feelings.

「Emperor hotel.」

Jonathan Allen stood at the entrance of the hotel with a few of his trusted subordinates and assistants, attentively watching the entrance. The hotel’s two tall, sweet-looking greeters wore tight-fitting red cheongsams and stood there, unbothered by the "guard duty" of Jonathan Allen and his men.

The Emperor hotel is the most luxurious and grand hotel in T City. People who enter and exit are either rich or noble, each holding a certain status in society. The staff working here naturally have keen eyes, and they recognize the identities of regular guests. With Jonathan Allen being a known Mafia leader, the greeters naturally recognized him too. Unless he gave specific instructions, they dared not and would not come forward to inquire.

Anyone who could make a Mafia boss wait at the door for so long must be someone of extraordinary stature.

At 11:30 a.m., a silver-white Rolls-Royce slowly approached.

Glades Horne is always punctual. If he said 11:30 a.m., he would never arrive at 11:31 a.m., nor would he show up early at 11:29 a.m. His punctuality also reflected his habit of always being in control. He was strong-willed and uncompromising, unless someone could persuade him to change his mind.

Currently, everyone believed that the person who could persuade him had not yet been born. It was said that not even the eldest Miss Bluen could sway his decisions in the slightest.

No one knew that the one who could sway him was actually already twenty-six years old.

Seeing Glades Horne’s car approaching, Jonathan Allen immediately put a broad smile on his face and led his men swiftly down the steps to greet him.

After the car came to a stop, two Bodyguards got out first, and one of them opened the car door for Glades Horne.

"Young Master Horne, you’ve arrived. I’ve already reserved the Elegant Room," Jonathan Allen, who commanded respect in the underworld, spoke to Glades Horne with the meekness of a lamb, his usual fierce energy nowhere to be seen.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." As Glades Horne emerged from the car, his sturdy frame immediately overshadowed Jonathan Allen’s smaller stature, and his dignified aura, tinged with dominance, was something Jonathan Allen could not hope to match. With a brief remark, he strode steadily into the hotel. The two welcoming ladies brightened up at his sight, their smiles more radiant than the sun, as they came forward with swaying, slender waists.
