Julian King? Him?
A golden carp is never meant for the pond; with a storm, it turns into a dragon.
Are you kidding me?!
A playboy can become a dragon?
Ahem, well, that's not entirely true.
I just don't believe Julian King is that capable.
If he were really that capable, would Sophie Mo dislike him so much?
But Grandpa Mo's gaze toward Charles Yin grew even more intense.
Charles Yin continued, "And I think there's another reason you want Julian King to be with Miss Mo."
"Oh? Go ahead." Grandpa Mo said enthusiastically, "Let me see how far you can go."
Charles Yin smiled gently, his gaze steady on Grandpa Mo, and declared, "Among all eligible bachelors in the country who match Miss Mo's status and are still single, most of their families are involved in politics. But the King Family, though British nobility, has no political ties. You're protecting her."
Grandpa Mo couldn't help but admit how outstanding this young man was.
Not only was his appearance and temperament equal to his grandson, but his strategic thinking and clear mind were just as impressive.
No wonder the Yun Family girl ultimately chose him.
If it was him, Max Mo wouldn't have lost unfairly.
Grandpa Mo nodded, not denying Charles Yin's words, and added, "It's not just that. Although Sophie Mo seems strong, she's actually quite fragile inside. Julian King may seem carefree, but that's just on the surface; he's gradually consolidating power. Besides, the Mo Family is already powerful enough. We all know that too much prosperity leads to decline. By the time Sophie's father took over, our family was at its peak. That's why I had Max Mo go into business and kept Sophie away from politics."
Cecilia Gu and Charles Yin nodded together.
Yes, prosperity always leads to decline.
Grandpa Mo truly has vision and insight.
To prevent the curse of wealth not lasting three generations, he wisely helped his grandchildren leave that circle.
Although Max Mo ended up serving the country, he wasn't rooted at the center of power—which actually protects the Mo Family the most.
As the eldest daughter of the Mo Family, Sophie Mo's status is unmatched—she's the pride of her family.
Families that could match hers are basically all powerful and influential.
Even if two strong families join forces, it could still end in mutual destruction.
Looking at it this way, Julian King really is the best choice.
Thinking about this, Cecilia Gu finally understood why everyone in the Mo Family wanted Sophie Mo and Julian King together.
But... do I really want to help Julian King get together with Sophie?
If I do this, am I betraying my best friend?
Sophie has always treated me so well, ever since three years ago.
We've always, always been best friends.
How could I possibly betray a friend like that?
But if I don't help them get together, Charles and I won't be able to...
Cecilia Gu was instantly torn.
After saying goodbye to Grandpa Mo, she returned to the villa.
Charles Yin had already guessed what was bothering Cecilia. He gently cupped her cheeks and said, "Stop overthinking it. Honestly, Sophie Mo has a deep-rooted bias against Julian King, which is why she doesn't like him. You've met Julian, right? He doesn't look that bad."
Cecilia Gu nodded. "He's not that bad-looking, but between you two, doesn't he wear more cologne?"
Charles Yin burst out laughing, unable to stop, his whole body shaking with amusement.
Cecilia Gu pouted. "Am I wrong?"
"Cecilia..." Charles Yin sighed softly, rubbing her cheeks. "How are you still so cute?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Cecilia raised an eyebrow.
