"No." Kyle Kinston said, at least the figure in his dream was definitely not Francine Howards, he could be sure of that.

"Perhaps it’s because of some magazines and news you read, sir, someone on it might have left a deep impression on you." Butler Kang said.

"Even if it left a deep impression, it shouldn’t appear in my dreams over and over again." Kyle said, furrowing his eyebrows slightly.

Butler Kang was surprised, "Again... had that dream?"

"Yes." Kyle responded indifferently, "I saw that figure again in my dream... what do you think this figure means to me?"

What it means, Butler Kang certainly understood, but at such times, it was not something he could say. Whenever he thought of it, 6 years ago, after Mabel Quinn fell into the sea and disappeared, the master’s miserable appearance, Butler Kang didn’t want to recall it.

Composing himself, Butler Kang said, "Perhaps it’s because you haven’t yet found your destined one, sir, so subconsciously, you dream about this destined one. The figure in your dream should be fictional, non-existent."

Kyle’s eyes drooped slightly, fictional... non-existent... is it just his imagination of a destined one?

But why, over the years, does thinking of the word "destined one" bring him pain?

However, Butler Kang’s explanation seemed to be the most reasonable for now. Perhaps because he never found his destined one, he fabricated a figure in his dreams.

Maybe in his subconscious... he desperately wanted to find the destined one truly belonging to him?

Kyle pondered deeply.

The banquet hosted by the Howards Group, Kyle’s attendance undoubtedly gave the Howards Family great honor, and among this, some speculated it was because of Dorian Howards’ influence. After all, Dorian and Kyle have always been close, and Dorian is one of the few who can speak to Kyle.

But some speculated it was because of Francine Howards, as over the years, Francine was the only woman who stayed by Kyle’s side for an extended period. Although some privately mentioned that there was once a woman beside Kyle, whom he was extremely fond of, and even married.

Married? If Kyle truly got married, then where is that woman now? Surely she wouldn’t be out of sight for 6 years?

So, some quietly said that the woman had died long ago.

Died? Those who heard the rumor just treated it as gossip, after all, there are plenty of false rumors these days.

Because of this, this kind of gossip stayed a topic among a small group of people, no one took it seriously. More people were calculating when Kyle and the Howards family lady would get married.

Many already regarded Francine Howards as the future Mrs. Kinston and made great efforts to curry favor with her.

At this moment, Alice Conley watched Francine Howards coming to the banquet with Kyle Kinston and couldn’t help but gripe in her heart, six years had passed since Mabel fell into the sea, and now everything had changed.

Knowing clearly that Kyle had completely forgotten about Mabel, but seeing Francine holding Kyle’s arm like a victor, smiling smugly, Alice couldn’t help but feel angry.

If Mabel were still alive, would Francine have the chance to do this?! But if Mabel were still alive, what would things be like now? That is something no one could say for sure.
