Chapter139
She believed that, in terms of business management, Zayden had much more experience and authority than her.
So, she asked him, “What do you think?”
Zayden nodded, his eyes shining brightly, and looked at Iris across from him with extra seriousness, saying, “Iris, I have always admired your courage. The outside world always says that my father and I are the myth of the investment world, but little do they know that Madam Aguilera and you are the ones who truly created that myth.”
Iris shook her head, “Wealth has never been my shield, you and Merlin are.”
Between her, Merlin, and Zayden, it wasn’t about who achieved what, but about achieving together.
She, Merlin, and Zayden were a team bound together by common interests forever.
When Zayden heard Iris’s words of affirmation, he looked at her with a brightening gaze, filled with an unusual warmth.
Iris noticed, smiled and changed the subject, “I heard Rach is coming back tomorrow. It’s our first meeting. Any suggestions on what gift I should give her?”
Zayden’s younger sister, Rachel Knighton, who had just turned 18, is currently studying at a uni in Freyston.
New Year is coming soon, Rachel came back to celebrate with her family.

Although Iris and Rachel had known each other for a long time, they had never met in person because of the special relationship between Iris and the Knighton family.
Zayden chuckled, “Rachel has never lacked anything since she was a child, you don’t need to spoil her so much.”
“Rach is your sister, of course she’s my sister too, we have to spoil her.” Iris unconsciously glared at him, “Forget about the suggestions, I’ll figure it out myself.”
Zayden looked at her with admiration, just now her unconscious coquettish glance, so charming and gentle, as if with an electric shock.
He suddenly felt a strange tingling sensation all over his body.
The hand on the sofa unconsciously tightened slightly, fingertips twisted, then loosened. He lowered his head, lips curling up, sincerely suggesting, “Rach is a foodie, she loves eating the most. If you can accompany her to eat and drink, she will definitely love it.”
“Oh, really?”
Iris heard that, her eyes lit up, “You saying that makes me even more excited to see Rach.”
“How come, you’re a foodie too?” When I looked up at her, Zayden’s eyes were as gentle as a pool of water.
Iris didn’t notice at all, she just stared and said, “Don’t I look like it?”
She really loved to eat and enjoyed researching and making things herself.
Just now, compared to cooking by herself, she has more important things to do, so she hardly goes into the kitchen anymore.

Zayden looked at her, seemed to think for a while, then nodded in agreement, “You know, you’re right, it does sound pretty accurate.”
Two people were chatting, and then they started talking about futures.
Recently the Acthelian guilders‘ depreciated a lot, Iris plans to use 10 billion dollars to buy them at a low price.
100 billion dollars, that’s a huge amount, but Zayden is on the same page with her.
The two of them hit it off right away.
Unconsciously, the two of them chatted until the sun set in the west, and the chef had already prepared dinner.
Although the Knighton’s villa is just a stone’s throw away, less than a kilometer, Zayden didn’t mind going home for dinner. But in the past six months, Zayden has eaten at Iris’s place more times than at his own home.
The chef very conscientiously made his portion.
Zayden had dinner at Iris’s and got home late, around eight o’clock.
Merlin was sitting with Valeria in the downstairs living room watching soap operas.
It was mainly waiting for Zayden.
Zayden came back from his business trip and went straight to Iris’s place without going home, the old couple are already used to it.
“Dad, mom,” Zayden heard a voice coming from the living room and walked over.
