"Fine. Even if you're right and we're really going to find the Golden Apple, why do you think a clue is enough to exchange for the Golden Apple? If you take the Golden Apple, won't our efforts be useless? Do you think we went through so much just to work for you? "
"There are three Golden Apples. I only want one of them. Also …"
The beautiful woman took out a scroll. "This is Goderis's score. I'm the only one in the world who can play it. I'm also the only one who can play Goderis's score. Also, I have an armed force, so my request is reasonable."
Rouen Fasiben stared at the beautiful woman before him.
"Legend has it that Goderis is the illegitimate daughter of Poseidon. She was born with extraordinary musical talent. Every day, she would practice the guqin by the sea. Then, she would gather many Tidal Messengers. One day, the Tidal Messengers wrote a musical score for Goderis, and all the Tidal Messengers swore that as long as they heard Goderis play the guqin, they would serve her unconditionally.
Rouen Fasiben looked at the beautiful woman. "You're saying that you're the only one in the world who can play Goderis's score?"
"That's not something you should care about. You just need to answer me. Do you accept the deal or not?"
"We need to think about it. Can we?"
"Yes. As a sign of my sincerity, I'll leave the score here. If you think someone can play it, I have nothing to say."
The woman was very calm.
Maybe even a little overconfident.
Or perhaps she really felt that there was no one else in this world who could perform Goderis's music score except for her.
After the woman left, Xin Li finally spoke.
"Mr. Fasiben, are we going to work with this woman?"
Rouen Fasiben waved the score in his hand. "If no one else in the world can play this score, we have no choice. Of course, if the score doesn't belong to that woman, why should we share the Golden Apple with her?"
…
After moving, Chen Zhao and his family had a rare moment of leisure.
Compared to Mingyue Villa, Mirror Lake Manor was much quieter.
After all, Mingyue Villa was by the sea, so the sea breeze was always strong.
When they were older, they would often make little Larissa sit on the ground.
Little Larissa had basically reached the stage where she could run and jump.
Because of the lack of constraints, little Larissa was a replica of little Gerlyn.
Of course, it wasn't that Chen Zhao didn't restrict little Larissa.
It was just that it wasn't that harsh.
As long as she didn't cross his bottom line, Chen Zhao wouldn't care.
Some habits needed to be cultivated from a young age.
Because of the geothermal heat, the temperature of Mirror Lake was maintained at around 12 degrees Celsius all year round.
In the summer, the water temperature was considered cool. In the winter, the water temperature of 12 degrees Celsius would not make people feel very cold.
December had just arrived, and the weather had already turned cold.
Now, only little Gerlyn would go into the water without any scruples.
Gerlyn didn't seem to be afraid of the cold.
It had become her habit to go into the water every day.
The condition of Mirror Lake was already considered very gentle to her.
Little Larissa, who was her sister, was obviously weaker in water than Larissa.
Little Larissa only knew how to swim, but she wasn't as good at it as Gerlyn.
Portia also preferred Mirror Lake Manor.
The sunlight in Mingyue Villa was too strong, so she had to use sunscreen every day.
It was completely different from Mirror Lake.
Mirror Lake gave her the feeling that she was a quiet lady.
Elegant and noble, like a glass of sweet red wine.
Mirror Lake Manor was also more convenient than Mingyue Villa.
Portia also had fewer things to worry about.
She even had time to go into the water.
However, it was a bit inappropriate to go into the water at this time.
Even though the water temperature was higher than the air temperature, water carried away heat more easily.
This made it difficult for Portia to stay in the water for more than ten minutes.
She'd thought that since Gerlyn could wave in the water, she could do it too.
In the end, Gerlyn slapped her hard in the face.
Just then, a car arrived at the gate.
"Master, there's a guest outside. According to the license plate scan, the owner is the head of Seagate Yacht Company's Los Angeles office, Mr. Ofer Lerby. He has business dealings with you."
The roadblock was returned to the ground, and Ofer Lerby entered the manor successfully.
He'd met all sorts of rich people and been to many manors, but he was still mesmerized by Mirror Lake Manor.
It was different from the proud and breathtaking feeling of Mingyue Villa, which was hanging on a cliff.
The Mirror Lake Manor was more pleasing to the eye, and it was more relaxing.
"Hello, Mr. Ofer." Portia was responsible for bringing Ofer Lerby into the manor.
"It's so beautiful here," Ofer Lerby said sincerely.
"Rich people can live wherever they want," Portia said, twitching her lips.
"I heard that when Mr. Chen bought this land, it was less than a million dollars. Later, he expanded the land area and invested less than ten million dollars. Now, if a buyer comes here and sees this manor, he'll offer at least three hundred million dollars," Ofer Lerby said.
Portia was tempted, but she knew very well that she didn't have the money to make such an investment.
Even though she knew that it was a profitable business, she couldn't afford it at all.
This was why the poor were getting poorer and the rich were getting richer.
The rich had the right to choose what and how to earn money.
The poor could only choose how to spend and what level of spending was within their range.
Even if the poor knew how to earn money, they didn't have the capital.
Actually, Portia had caused all of this herself.
The salary Chen Zhao paid her was definitely a high one.
She'd squandered her own money. Chen Zhao wouldn't pity her.
Portia didn't deserve pity.
Ofer Lerby was brought before Chen Zhao.
"Hello, Mr. Ofer."
"Hello, Mr. Chen." Ofer Lerby held a large stack of documents. "Mr. Chen, our head office sincerely invites you again. We hope that you can visit us."
"I'll check the time," Chen Zhao said. "I don't have much time."
Portia rolled her eyes. Not much time?
Chen Zhao had been idling at home these few days. That was not enough time?
"Oh, where's your company in Italy?"
"Rome."
"I suddenly want to go to Rome," Chen Zhao said.
Ofer Lerby was overjoyed. "That's great! I'll inform the head office now and have them make arrangements immediately."
