Johnny knocked on the door and entered the private room. “Mr. Benny Murray, Mr. Vaughn wants to say hello to you.”
Benny glanced at Clayton and said to Johnny, “Bring him over.”
After Johnny went out, Benny leaned closer to Clayton. “I think the Vaughn family likes you. What do you think?”
Clayton raised his eyebrows. “Are you thinking about a marriage of convenience?”
Benny was shocked. “Has Rayson International come to the point of needing a marriage of convenience in your hand?”
Clayton’s mouth twitched.
Benny inched closer. “Clayton, do you have somebody in mind?”
Clayton nodded lightly. “Yes.”
Benny’s eyes lit up. “Really? Who is it? Do I know her? Can you bring her to me? Don’t tell me she’s the young lady of the Vaughn family?”
Clayton frowned, “Grandpa! Don’t arbitrarily matchmake. I told you have nothing to do with her. You also said Rayson International doesn’t need a marriage of convenience. Stop bringing us together.”
“Who’s it, then? Bring her to me!” Benny was still in high spirits.
Clayton handed Benny the coffee. “I haven’t won her yet. I’ll bring her to you once I succeed.”
Benny was even happier. “Oh? You can’t handle her? That’s great! The woman you can’t handle must be the right one.”
Clayton glanced at Benny and lowered his head to serve him food. “Are you really my grandpa?”
Benny nodded. “By the way, it’s a woman, right?”
Clayton narrowed his eyes and glanced at Benny, “Do you want me to find a man?”
Benny curled his lips. “You hang out with Victor every day. Everyone suspects something is going on between you two, so I have to make
Sure.”
Clayton was dumbfounded.
“By the way, where’s Victor? Why didn’t he come to have free lunch?” Benny suddenly felt something was missing
“He’s overseas. He took over a foreign case and went abroad to negotiate after losing a bet to Edmund,” Clayton replied lightly.
Benny sighed, “I envy that old geezer, Jerome. He has a bunch of outstanding children and grandchildren.”
Clayton didn’t say anything because Benny was right. The Murray family couldn’t compare to the Maguire family in this regard.
“While they were talking, there was a knock on the door. Benny and Clayton changed their expression and put on a straight face.

Chapter 12
After seeing off the Winslow family, Nathan took Winona and Yvonne to the study.
Winona already knew the result of their meeting with Clayton and couldn’t help feeling anxious.
“Nate, what should we do next?” She wanted to know about Nathan’s idea and then make the plan accordingly.
“I can’t lose the connection with Terence, so Isabella must marry into the Winslow family, Nathan murmured.
Yvonne and Winona couldn’t help but feel excited. Initially, they didn’t want Isabella to marry into the Winslow family out of jealousy. But now that Clayton appeared, they hoped Isabella would marry into the Winslow family soon to make room for them to get close to Clayton.
Yvonne secretly regretted it, thinking, “If I had known this, I wouldn’t have done those things, and Clayton would have accepted me by now.”
“But it’s difficult to deal with Mr. Murray.” Nathan was at a loss, thinking, ‘Clayton clearly wasn’t interested in Yvonne. What should we do?”
Winona pondered for a moment. “Or should we invite Mr. Murray to our house? You w
uncomfortable?”
went to his company today. Could it have made him feel
“Mom has a point.” Yvonne’s eyes lit
lit up.
She mused. “That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that? Such a romantic thing cannot be felt in the cold office. Just like yesterday, Isabella’s success might have something to do with the atmosphere at that time. If we can invite Clayton to the house, we can create a romantic atmosphere.
Nathan still frowned, “Mr. Murray and Victor Maguire, the second son of Maguire Group, have always been inseparable. Mr. Murray doesn’t get close to women, and all his assistants are men. It was once said he was gay, and his male companion was Victor. I don’t know if it’s true.”
“If Clayton were gay, his disinterest in Yvonne could be explained, he thought.
“That’s impossible, Dad,” Yvonne immediately objected. “If he were gay, why would he have agreed to marry Isabella? He must be such a decent man that he doesn’t get close to women. Those rumors must be made up.” She thought, ‘How can such a perfect man be gay? No way!”
“Then, what do you think we should do now? You saw his attitude at Rayson International today.” Nathan certainly hoped that Yvonne could marry Clayton, but he couldn’t control Clayton.
Nathan only had two daughters. If they married into the Winslow family and the Murray family, respectively, he would live a happy life and could do whatever he wanted in Moulmore. But it was just his wishful thinking. In reality, Clayton couldn’t be bothered with them.
Yvonne fell silent. She couldn’t figure out what was wrong. She reckoned the only possibility was that the occasion wasn’t right and firmly believed that to be the reason. “Dad, we must find a way to invite him home!”
Nathan said nothing and thought, ‘Inviting Clayton home? It’s easier said than done. Given his attitude today, we must have been blacklisted. How can we invite him home?‘
“I think it shouldn’t be difficult to invite Mr. Murray home, right?” Winona uttered calmly.
Nathan and Yvonne looked up at Winona at the same ti
time.
“What did you say?” Nathan asked.
“Mom, do you
you have an idea?” Yvonne asked.

The two asked at the same time.
Winona chuckled. “Have you forgotten about Isabella? There must be a reason why he could publicly agree to Isabella’s ridiculous request. Do you remember what he said?” She glanced at Nathan and Yvonne lightly.
“What?” Nathan and Wenne spoke at the same time.
Clayton hadn’t said much that day, but they hadn’t paid much attention either, given the situation at that time.
Nathan only remembered Clayton saying repeatedly today that nobody dared stop him from doing what he wanted. Anyway, Nathan dared
not.
What Wonne remembered was Clayton’s self–introduction. Once she recalled it, her heart beat fast, and her face turned red.
Winona explained, “He said he had been waiting for Isabella to grow up since she was ten. He also thanked Zachary for falling in love with
someone else and returning Isabella to him.”
“Did he say that?‘ Nathan and Yvonne wondered and looked at each other.
Winona continued, “Judging from his words, he and Isabella have known each other for a long time. He will definitely come if Isabella invites
him.”
Yvonne was confused. “Has he known Isabella since ten years old? Really? It doesn’t look like it!‘ she thought.
