Chapter 653
Thalia rejected him tactfully. She did not want to break their family ties because of such a small matter.
However, Jeffrey did not think much of it and said, “Isn’t that simple? Why don’t you ask Tiffany and Mr. Hampton to say something? She’s your daughter, and he’s your son–in–law. What so difficult when it comes to family?“.
“No,” Thalia refused firmly.
Even if Charlie wanted this project, he and Thalia would never use their in–laws‘ identities to make things easier for them. This was not their family’s way, and they did not want others took down on their daughter because of this.
However, even though Thalia had her principles, Jeffrey had his ways to make her relent, just like every other time. “Thalia, just take it that I’m begging you as your brother. It hasn’t been easy for my family to come this far. I’m counting on this project to gain a foothold. I believe you won’t stand by and watch my struggle.”
“Jeffrey, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. I just…”
“This will be the last time, okay?” Jeffrey raised his hand and vowed, “I promise this will be the last time. Besides, we’re family. If I succeed, we’ll be one proud family!”
“Jeffrey, I really can’t help you. You know that…”
“I’ll wait for your good news! But just to be safe, don’t say it’s for me. Just say that it’s for your family. When we get this project, I’ll sign it.”
As Jeffrey spoke, he immediately stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he did not forget to shout, “I’ll wait for your good news!”
Both Jeffrey and Daisy rushed over and left hurriedly. Thalia was not allowed to refute or reject from the start.
“This is troublesome.” Thalia was angry and helpless. She sat back on her sofa while rubbing her temples.
Jeffrey was too good at using such tricks. He did not shed all pretense, was not fierce, and was not ruthless. However, he smiled and had an incomparably trusting look on his face. He did not give anyone any room to refute and decided alone. Thalia believed it would be a grave sin if she did not help. ‘Just this once. The last time.‘
Thalia did not dare to tell Charlie about this. So, she called Tiffany directly.
Tiffany, who received the call, was exercising in the Royal Bay gym. She wiped her sweat and answered the call. “Morning,
Mom.”
When she heard her daughter’s energetic voice, Thalia smiled and said gently, “Have you slept well? And did you have breakfast?”
“Yes, and yes.”
“That’s good. By the way, the weather has changed today. It’s quite cold outside. Remember to wear a coat when you go out. Don’t get cold.”
“I know. Don’t worry, Mom.”
After rambling for a while, Thalia finally went to the main topic. By the way, Tiffany. Is Richard by your
side?”
Tiffany looked through the glass and happened to see Richard, who was dressed neatly, coming downstairs. She replied, “Yes, why?”
Sun,

There was no need to ask. Tiffany knew the purpose of this call he knew the despicable Jeffrey and his blasted daughter came for her after leaving Royal Bay.
Tiffany knew Jeffrey had used methods to pressure her moin. He used kinship and guilt–trip her to agree to something,
As expected, Thalia said, “I heard from your father that Lovell City has recently discovered a coal mine. I wonder if this project will fall into our family’s hands.
“If possible, Tiffany. Could you tell Richard about this?” This request was too much. As Thalia spoke, she felt her face burning.
Tiffany had just gotten married. It had only been a few days, but she wanted her son–in–law to do a massive favor. If Thaila were in Richard’s shoes, she would be disappointed with such a request.
Thalia wanted to remedy the situation and hurriedly said, “Forget it, Tiffany. It’s better not to say this. Let’s pretend that I didn’t say any of this.”
Tiffany understood and asked, “Mom, is this project really what Dad wants? Or is there someone else who wants your help? For example… Uncle?”
“Tiffany, don’t overthink it. It’s not your uncle’s request.”
“Alright, then I’ll help Dad get his hands on this project.” After that, Tiffany hung up. She got up and left the gym, sprinting to the dining room.
Richard sat lazily at the dining table. His face was cold and his facial features were well–defined. No matter from which angle someone looked, he was flawless and handsome.
The high–end suit accentuated his tall and straight figure. His presence exuded a cold and forbidden temptation. He was exceptionally alluring.
His presence was so strong that no one dared to approach him. It was enough to make people retreat. One would be respectful and afraid of him.
However, when he saw Tiffany, the cold indifference in his eyes instantly turned gentle. He opened his hand with a smile. “Come here. Let me hold you.”
His clear and deep voice was slightly hoarse from waking up in the morning. It was sexy and magnetic. Tiffany quickened her pace and pounced into Richard’s arms.
“What’s wrong? Did you miss me, Richard?”
“Of course,
I am.”
“Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”
“How can I sleep if I don’t hug you?” Richard smiled. He was in a good mood when he smelled the faint fragrance from Tiffany’s body.
Tiffany raised her eyebrows and replied amusedly, “So, in the twenty years that you haven’t met me, have you not slept well?”
“I don’t know. But honestly, I haven’t felt alive in those 20 years!”
Tiffany raised her head in surprise when she heard his answer. She happened to meet Richard’s eyes. His gaze was deep. As if deep enough to store his love for her.
Tiffany saw her reflection in his eyes. Her heart pounded, and her face blushed brightly. She struggled to break free from Richard’s arms and said with a red face, “Hurry up and eat your breakfast! Don’t you still have to go to the company?”

The real meaning was that there were so many servants watching. She didn’t want to look too intimate because Tiffany wished to maintain their dignity at home.
Richard chuckled and obediently sat back at the dining table. He slowly moved the sumptuous breakfast that had already been placed before him,
Tiffany had eaten earlier than him. She was not hungry. She sat beside Richard with her hand on her cheek. She sighed inwardly while looking at the scene before her. The magnificent beauty called Richard Hampton was indeed pleasing to the
eye.
“By the way, I need to tell you something.” Tiffany sat up straight and told him about the news of Jeffrey and Daisy’s arrival that morning, “My mother just called me and said she wants you to help take down the coal mine project. I’m guessing that this is my uncle’s idea.”
Richard looked at Tiffany. He did not flinch as he said, “Tell me what you have in mind.” In other words, no matter what she said, he would agree.
