Subsequently.
Luther, Jacqueline, and Shelly then bid farewell to Cecelia and Ralph and left the Heath family first.
After they got quite far away from the door.
Jacqueline said sideways to Luther, "Luther, Charlotte was a little sick just now, she went back to her room to have a rest, so she didn't come out to see us off, you don't mind."
"Hmm." Luther frowned. Not only did he not mind, but he also didn't even notice. If Jacqueline hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about Charlotte's existence.
"Luther, what did you and Ralph just talk about upstairs?" Jacqueline noticed an extra file folder in Luther's hand.
"Well, it's about the Capital's real estate project. It’s actually Ralph who is going to make the decision. He made two conditions for the Warner family. If we can do it, then the project, naturally, is ours." Luther mentioned faintly.
"Really! Won't we take this project for sure?!" Jacqueline was immediately excited since this meant that the Warner family's hand was finally going to reach out to the Capital. She had long heard that the Capital had a top-level circle of military and political celebrities. If the Warner family could have a foothold in the Capital, with the Warner family's unmatched financial power, she was going to buy the most luxurious residence in the Capital and go show off as much as she could.
"Luther, just now Cecelia has promised that the engagement will not be postponed because of Rodney's death. Charlotte will not return to the Capital, she will stay. We will just hold the engagement as planned then. Only, Cecelia and Ralph can't come to the engagement ceremony." Jacqueline rushed to tell Luther.
"Hmm." Luther replied indifferently, unconcerned.
The engagement was already a formality in his mind. Since it helped the Warner family and his mother was satisfied, so be it.
"Great, I'm coming along to the Capital."
