Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Chapter 126

The dinner table was loaded with all kinds of scrumptious dishes.

"Hunter, you haven’t been home in a while; share a few drinks with your old man tonight." Kenneth poured him a glass of wine, then turned to the girl beside him and said, "Serena, you’re still young,stick to your juice."

Seizing the opportunity to act cute, Serena chimed in, "I wanna drink with big bro too."

"Good girl, wait till you’re grown." Kenneth poured himself another glass, then cheerfully asked his son,

"Heard you’ve been doing well overseas?" "Mmm, pretty stable now." Hunter Collins had been busy abroad for several months, solving a handful of issues, and finally, things were settling down. He glanced around, noticing there were only four sets of cutlery.

Apart from his parents’, there were only his and Serena’s.

Where was his sister?

Louisa chimed in while bustling around, "Rose just called; she’s not finished with some work."

"Work?" Hunter Collins was a bit taken aback.

Wasn’t his sister only eighteen?

"You might not know this, but your sister is currently managing our fashion company. You must’ve heard about her achievements from overseas?" Kenneth happily clinked glasses with him, and after

gulping down his drink, he sighed, "Who would’ve thought your sister had such impressive business acumen? She found so many problems within days of her taking charge! Even caught the main culprit behind the scenes!"

Thinking about Oscar, Kenneth felt a pang of heartache.

Recalling the company’s recent activities, Hunter instinctively uttered a name: "Rosemary?"

"Yes, Rosemary Collins, your sister!"

Upon hearing the term "sister", Serena bit her lip and served her brother some food: "Big bro, this is your favorite meat; eat up."

"Thanks." Hunter Collins was usually rather aloof, but his gaze softened when he looked at his family.

Serena felt a lot better. That dimwit, instead of bonding with her brother, she was busy working!

What a scatterbrain!

She continued serving wine to her brother and parents, warming up the atmosphere like a cozy quilt.

Upon realizing that the person who recently stirred up the company was his sister, Hunter Collins’ gaze deepened, feeling rather intrigued.

The new collection would be launched tomorrow; she didn’t come home for dinner; she probably busy preparing, right?

Although he hadn’t met her and didn’t know what kind of person she was, her talent, decision–making skills, and ambition at such a young age had already impressed him.

"If your sister were a bit older, I’d really like to hand over the other companies to her." Kenneth had full faith in his daughter’s business skills, but she was still young and had just returned home; he didn’t want her to overwork.

Louisa added while eating, "Oh right, she mentioned on the phone that she’ll be attending a design competition in a few days. She’s really busy; she might not be home for dinner these nights."

Ever since she returned, she had been throwing herself into work; it was a bit heartbreaking.

Initially, handing over the company was just for her to have a taste of it and to bring her some joy; he never expected her to make such groundbreaking achievements.

But she was very responsible, which was a pleasant surprise for everyone.

While keeping the company running like a well–oiled machine, she still finds time to indulge in her hobbies and participate in contests.

"Rose’s going to a design competition." Kenneth was taken aback.

"I heard her mention it. I didn’t realize she could manage a company and do design too." Louisa was proud and happy for her daughter, but she was also worried about her. She was so young, yet carrying

such heavy responsibilities.

She needed to show Rose more support.

She should find time to ask Rose if she was happy with her current job. If not, she should let go and enjoy life. That’s what mattered most.

Design competition?

Hunter Collins suddenly remembered Julian’s words about being invited to be a judge in a designn competition.

But he was too busy and turned it down.

"By the way, have your brothers been in touch with you recently?" Louisa took a sip of her wine and continued, "Have they mentioned when they’re coming back? It’s been several days, and no one has

called me!"

"No." Hunter Collins didn’t communicate much with his brothers. They occasionally sent messages, especially the youngest one, who was a chatterbox. But he rarely replied, being too busy with work

most of the time.

He had been very busy abroad in the past two years, trying to expand the group and break into foreign markets. Some places were unfriendly to foreigners, causing him lots of difficulties. Some other places

had powerful influences, making them hard to handle.

Thankfully, through his efforts, the group had grown more than twice its size since Kenneth handed it over to him. Besides work, he rested.

His family knew his routines, so they didn’t find it strange if he didn’t respond to their messages.

"I heard our R&D department has made a new breakthrough, and many foreign powers are interested.Be careful."

Kenneth trusted his son’s abilities, but some powers were not just local but international competition,just not openly contested.

"I don’t know how many obstacles they will put in your way or how many unethical things they will do."

Kenneth was a bit worried. "Don’t worry, I’ll handle it."

Hearing his son’s assurance, Kenneth felt a bit relieved. "I know you’re capable. You’ve been the most worry–free since you were a kid, but don’t push yourself too hard. Remember to rest."

"Since it’s not easy for our son to come back this time, let’s not talk about work anymore." Louisa served Hunter Collins some food and said, "Here, eat more. This is your favorite."

Villa Cascada.

Rosemary stored the extracted Jade Leaf in liquid form at a low temperature of minus eighteen degrees Celsius.

The surrounding scientists and experts were in disbelief, expressing their admiration.

"We’ve finally succeeded!"

"Ms. Rose, you’re amazing! In such a short time, you managed to extract the Jade Leaf with such high purity. I’m really impressed."

"We’ve been trying for days without success. But with Ms. Rose here, this tough problem is solved!

Ha–ha, now we can finally take a good rest." "But there are other herbs. Only by combining them can we maximize the level of acetylcholine in the brain."

That was even more challenging than extracting Jade Leaf.

"I’ll give it a try."

Rosemary checked the time. It was already eight in the evening. She used computer simulations to design and synthesize according to the internal structure of a dozen herbs, then started the actual experiment to see what kind of effect it would produce.
