“Heather’s not very eager,” Winona answered Sophia, “She said she doesn't want her son to marry a mistress’ daughter.”“That old b*tch. She’s a snob herself too, so what gives her the right to act all high and mighty?” Sophia was pissed.“What’s the use of you being angry now?” Winona sneered, “It’s better to use your energy to think of a way instead of getting mad. Heather was frustrated because she didn’t get the sports day project. It’ll work if you think of a way to let her have it.”“You think I don’t want to? This isn’t some matter that John can decide by himself, and I can only watch from the sidelines.” Sophia sighed, then she told Winona that a blueprint design was needed for the bidding of the sports day project. Winona’s eyes were flashing when she knew about this reason. “Let me handle this. I’ve got a plan!”Francis went for a walk around the neighborhood after he had dinner. When he was about to return home, a figure appeared suddenly. “Brother, how are you?”“Why ar
Francis' expression turned cold. “Winona, are you threatening me?”“Not a threat, but a reminder. Anyhow, we’re still siblings, and I don’t want to be so mean.”Francis gazed at her with sorrow in his eyes. “Why are you like this? Don’t you have no shame?”“I’m shameless, so what?” Winona grinned. “You’re supposed to be Martin Harris, but you pretended to be Francis just to take care of her daughter for so many years. What right do you have to speak ill against me?”Francis picked up the cup and splashed the coffee at Winona’s face once she finished her sentence. It was too late for Winona to duck, so she was soaked. Winona wiped off the coffee on her face as she was still laughing. “Why did you lose your temper, brother? Did I say something wrong?”“Fu*k off!” Francis clenched his fist so hard that the veins in his arms popped out, and one thing for sure was his blood was boiling.“Brother, I won’t leave if you don’t agree to help me design the blueprint. Just help me once.”“N
“Yes, I’m a crazy woman! I saw my brother and sister committing incest, so how can I not be crazy? Let me tell you, Martin Harris, you should be glad that I stopped you two from doing something unforgivable!”“What have you done?” Francis waited for her answer. “What have you done except for stealing her boyfriend?”“I told her that you love her, and I let her decide for herself!” Winona sneered.“You…” Francis was blue in the face. No wonder Molly had changed drastically in her attitude toward him. No wonder Molly turned a deaf ear to his advice. This was the reason.“How can you be so cold-blooded? She’s your biological sister! How could you treat her like this?”“I don’t have such a shameless sister!” Winona laughed coldly. “She stole a mother’s love from me. She stole my brother, and she still wanted to snatch the man I love? Why do I need to yield? Who does she think she is?”“Henry loved Molly from the start, and it was you who deliberately got into his bed. It was you who
Christina reported for duty at her new company, and she was appointed to the marketing department because she majored in marketing management. Christina had just joined the company, so she was clueless and it was inevitable for her to be afraid of making mistakes.Luckily, the manager of the marketing department was kind to her. He personally helped her familiarize herself with the company, and her colleagues were friendly to her as well. Christina was surprised by the conducive working environment because it was nothing like what Ariel had told her, and she gradually got used to it.One day, Christina’s manager asked her to meet a customer with him. He said that it was for her to familiarize herself with their company’s operation. They had been keeping in touch with their customer, so that was why the meeting went on smoothly. They were able to sign a contract effortlessly.After the contract was successfully signed, the manager let Christina return to the company first. When she w
It turned out that the reason Michael had not called Christina lately was because he had been busy with work.Seeing Christina’s figure, Suzy walked over with a smile on her face and greeted her warmly. “It’s been a while, Miss Williams.”“Indeed,” Chistina gave a dead reply.“I’m working as an intern in Michael’s company and I’ll be graduating soon,” Suzy said. She wanted to explain why she was constantly seen around Michael, yet her good faith turned sour as soon as her words reached Christina’s ears.A man who knew how to enjoy life, Michael placed his mistress next to him by employing her. This way, no one would suspect a thing even though the two were always next to one another. What a good way it was to hide their relationship.The hatred Christina stored toward Michael deepened at the thought of this.Christina looked around and noticed how everyone was trying to kiss Michael’s *ss. They all had smiles on their faces, and Christina could not help but lift the corner of her
Larson was a man who liked his words coated with sugar. Since he liked that, Christina would never let him get what he wanted. Taking up her wine glass, she walked to Michael’s side. “I heard a lot about you, President Larson.”That was it?That was all!Michael slightly squinted his eyes at her. All the woman had done was to feast on the food as soon as she sat down, and it was only until now that Michael saw the despise lying underneath her eyes.He understood her very well and knew how she felt about the bootlickers sitting around her. A woman with pride, she had always looked down on those who flattered their way up the social ladder—especially those who did so over the dinner table.Giving a half-smile, Michael raised his wine glass and gave her a gentle reply, “You’re too polite, Miss Williams. I’ll drink up first, so it’s fine if you prefer not to.”It was a casual remark that took no significance, yet the listeners did not take it that way. The manager who had urged Chris
Seeing how Michael held Christina’s hand in his, everyone instantly understood what was going on. On top of that, he was not mad after what she had done. It seemed obvious that the man had fallen for Christina already.Christina had wanted to give Michael a hard time. She did not expect him to be such a beast as he held her hands in his without a single trace of shame.Seeing this, the people who were seated next to Michael instinctively stood up. As they offered their seats to her, Michael pulled Christina toward the empty seat next to him. “Everyone here knows that I can’t drink, but seeing how happy Miss Williams is made me change my mind. I’m going to break my rule this once.”Upon saying so, he lifted up the bottle of wine and filled up Christina’s glass. “Please, Miss Williams!”Lifting her glass up, Christina chugged down the glass of wine as Michael did the same. “You’ve got quite a high alcohol tolerance, Miss Williams. Come, let’s entangle our arms together for the next d
Michael flew into a fit and thought it was time he showed Christina what he was capable of. Grabbing her wrist, he stormed out the corridor with her struggling under his grasp. However, the difference in their strength was so huge that she found herself dragged into the elevator in no time.When Michael took his hand off her mouth, Christina glared at him. “What do you want, Michael?”“You’ll know what I want in a while.” Rage was plastered on his face and his cold gaze sent chills down Christina’s spine. She then glanced at the screen on the elevator and realized that they were heading upstairs instead of downwards.Her heart sank. Was Larson trying to take her to one of the hotel rooms?As the elevator came to a stop, Michael forcefully pulled her out of the elevator before he took a hotel room keycard out of his tuxedo’s pocket to open the door. On the other hand, Christina was still struggling. “I’m warning you, Larson! Don’t lay a finger on me!”“Weren’t you acting all arroga
