Cynthia was less than three months pregnant. If she were to trip or even just get upset, it would be too late for regrets.
However, Cynthia managed to keep her composure. When Yvonne and Bennett arrived on the island, she came over to greet them and pulled Yvonne aside. With both women pregnant, they had no shortage of topics to discuss.
The Taylor family members arrived the next morning.
The Taylor family and the Thompson family were relatives and also business partners.
Frank held a portion of the Taylor family's company shares, and the Taylor family was also a shareholder in the Thompson family's company. It was a mutual cross-shareholding that bound their interests together.
The Taylor family elders, of course, wouldn't participate in a youth-oriented event like a corporate retreat, but the two brothers, Thomas Taylor and Dominic Taylor, both came.
They arrived by yacht, bringing along several directors from the Thompson Group with them.
"Noah, Ben, you guys got here so fast! Dominic and I spent a day and a night at sea and caught a lot of fish," Thomas said as he had the crew unload the fish from the boat.
They were fresh, live fish, perfect for being prepared and eaten on the spot. Unfortunately, Yvonne was allergic to seafood and couldn't have any.
Thomas and Dominic had also brought two female companions.
One was Letitia. The other was Jessa Lane.
The partnership between the Taylor family and the Bishop family was still ongoing, so Dominic almost always brought Letitia as his date to social functions.
However, Dominic, the playboy, had never so much as laid a finger on Letitia. He was afraid of getting entangled with someone he couldn't shake off.
Letitia wasn't stupid. She knew she had no chance of marrying into the Taylor family. She used her appearances with Dominic to meet many other eligible men, hoping to find a suitable match.
Jessa Lane was the daughter-in-law Mrs. Taylor had her eye on.
