Chapter 276: Don't Tell Him
[Chapter 277: Don't Tell Him]
In Brentwood, a sprawling mansion stood host to a lunch gathering. When facing Erica's father Carter Ferguson and mother Mary Ferguson, Hawke knew when to act and when to retreat. Although he didn't say much, he always got to the point. With the halo of Twitter, he could definitely be considered a young and promising person.
Mary was already quite impressed with Hawke, and by the end of the meal, Carter fully agreed with her assessment. He also seemed to think highly of his daughter's choice.
...
After lunch, Erica showed Hawke upstairs to tour her bedroom. Mary turned to Carter and asked, "What do you think?"
"He has some ability," Carter replied, adopting a more relaxed demeanor away from Hawke. "He look a little worse than when I was young."
Mary accepted a cup of tea from the maid, placing it in front of Carter as she said, "He may not be a standout, but he's certainly more than ordinary, and honestly, that's not the most important thing."
Carter concurred, "It's quite rare for someone from a regular background to achieve what he has."
He paused for a moment before adding, "And crucially, Hawke isn't rigid; he adapts well and plays hard in this dog-eat-dog world, which is necessary for protecting family and wealth."
