“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
Christina glared at him with eyes filled with hatred and mockery. It made Michael very uncomfortable that he slowly reminded her, “Don’t forget about the contract...”Christina put aside her attitude as she picked up a towel and walked over to his side. She then rubbed hard against his back and cursed silently in her heart. ‘Whatever. I’ll just pretend that I’m skinning a chicken.’She scrubbed so hard that Michael winced in pain; he could not take it anymore. The woman may have suffered a lot but she was much stronger now.“Lighter! Do you think you’re skinning a chicken?”Christina blurted, “So you know?”“You...” Michael pulled her into the bathtub and looked at her with a faint smile. “Let me serve you next.”“Thanks, President Larson, but I’m used to showering alone. I prefer not to trouble you at all.”“Oh?” Michael lifted his eyebrows. “Why don’t you want to?”“You’re the king, and I’m just nothing but your wh*re. As your mistress, how dare I ask you to serve me!”Her m
The emerald pendant looked so familiar to Suzy at first glance. In fact, it was almost identical to the one that she had kept with her.Astonishment flashed past Suzy’s face as she ran downstairs and drove back home. She did not even take her shoes off before she rushed into her bedroom, panting, and took out a box above her closet. Inside the box laid an old emerald pendant. When she placed her pendant next to Christina’s, she realized that the two were almost symmetrical.She was so mindblown that she blanked out. It was a long while before she came around. The pendant in the box was a gift from her adoptive parents who told her that it was the only thing her birth mother had left her and she could use this to find her relatives in the future. Why would Christina have the same pendant as hers? What does she have to do with Suzy’s mother?… Christina called a cab home as soon as she left the hotel. It was not until when she had arrived home did she realize that she had made t
