“I have been pulling all-nighters. If I don’t, how am I supposed to deal with Mr. Stewart who’s deliberately making things difficult for me?”“Heh. There’s no such thing as ‘deliberately making things difficult’ in the business world. There’s just the strong and the weak,” Sean Stewart said mildly as he swirled the red wine in the glass. He did not take a single sip before putting it back on the tray. His cold phoenix eyes swept to the side as he said, “I’ve said it before… Even if I don’t wa
When Jane left her dorm, she saw the man clad in a white shirt and slacks standing under the old banyan tree again. She looked somewhat astonished. “Mr. Soros.”He had not turned up in front of her for a while now.Today, he turned up without warning.“Let’s go. You must be hungry, right?” The man standing under the tree sauntered over and reached out to hold her hand. Jane Dunn attempted to evade. Haydn Soros raised his head and said, “Your strength can never compare to mine. You know this
Haydn Soros darted a glance at the screen but did not pick up the call. He allowed that odd but magical ringtone to continue reverberating throughout the tiny noodle restaurant. Then, he tossed a piece of red note, pulled Jane by the arm, and hastened to his car.In the car, Haydn Soros finally recalled that Jane was about to tell him something. “Oh right, what were you trying to say earlier? What did you want to tell me?”“I…” ‘want to tell you about my past.’ Initially, the woman on the fron
Haydn Soros received another beating at Old Master Soros’ place. He was clad in a clean white shirt when he had first gone in. When he walked out of the old house, however, his white shirt was stained by blood.The butler, Mr. Leith, rushed out and said, “Take this, Young Master.”Haydn Soros glanced at the ointment in Mr. Leith’s hand, and the coldness in his eyes faded slightly. He reached out to take it. “Thanks, Uncle Leith.”The butler hesitated for a moment. Before Haydn Soros got into
He could shoulder the pressure coming from his family, company, and shareholders for her!He would never give up!His heart was roaring with emotions just like the speed of his car! Sean Stewart was nothing!…Half a month later.Jane met Haydn Soros again. He was much thinner, but more energetic, especially when she noticed the joy in his eyes.“Let’s go! I’ll take you somewhere.” Giving no chance for her to protest, he dragged her into the car.“Where are we going?”“You’ll know when w
Zach and Callen were shocked the moment the door opened. However, in the next second, Zach smiled and said to Haydn Soros, “Not bad, kid. You’re quite fast.” His impression of Jane was of what had happened in the room that day. There was a profound smile on Callen’s face that was even more beautiful than a woman’s. “We meet again, Miss Dunn.”Haydn Soros and Zach looked surprised. “You two know each other?”Haydn Soros turned his head to ask Jane. “How do you know Callen?”At this moment, Jane’s limbs were trembling. She did not expect the three of them to be best friends. She also did not expect Haydn Soros to bring her to see his best friends. Jane asked herself if she would still come had she known.No. The answer was loud and clear. Haydn Soros pulled out a chair for Jane considerately. “Sit down. Don’t be so nervous. Zach and Callen are my best friends. Don’t assume that they’re unapproachable. They’re actually really nice.”Jane’s face was white. She forced o
“Alright, just call him here. When he’s here, he can see for himself that his best friend does not care about him at all.”Jane wanted to laugh. How dare this man assume her thoughts to be his thoughts? How dare he assume that she would not tell Haydn everything?Oh, perhaps, she had become a shameless woman in this man’s eyes.“You…” The look in Callen’s eyes changed. They became even more disgusted. “You’re so nauseating. You say that I don’t care about Haydn. When you say that, it also mea
Callen chuckled lightly and leaned next to the socialite’s ear seductively. “Of course. Miss Wilson is such a beauty. How will I miss the appointment with you?”Miss Wilson was head over heels with Callen after he flirted with her in his deep voice and alluring face. She was reluctant to go. “It’s a date, then. I’ll do it tomorrow night. You have to be there at that time, just in case someone says I’m not doing a good enough job.”“Of course. Miss Wilson is so gorgeous and so skilled. Naturall
"Your grandfather loved your grandmother like a man possessed."By the time I finished hearing out my grandparents' story, I fell silent. I no longer blamed my grandfather for not knowing his heart, and I no longer blamed Grandma for being uncertain. It was just as Grandma Alora said. It was only because one of the two of them stopped obsessing and took a step back that they ended up living happily ever after. I could not help but wonder. What if Grandma simply refused to turn back at the e
Even then, I found it unbelievable. I ran to my dad's room and immediately asked, "Is Grandpa a pervert? I saw him hugging Grandma's foot just now. Does he have a foot fetish?""Your grandfather is warming your grandmother's feet. Your grandmother's body isn't in its best shape, and her hands and feet are always ice-cold. Your grandfather can't bear to see her like that. Just pretend you didn't see anything, and never mention it to him.""But why?""Because your grandfather will make you writ
My name was Luka Stewart. It was a weird name, right? Like ‘look! A stew.’My grandfather gave me my name. All my many years of experience as a kid told me that my grandfather was not a good guy.All else aside, just look at the name he gave me. He had a perfectly nice name himself, but he had to give me such a weird one.However, every time I protested about it to him, he always said that it was my dad's fault. If Dad had been a girl, that would have been his name instead. See, Grandpa was
On the twentieth day after the surgeryHe saw the person he had his heart set on.“Elior said you were at your wedding on the day I woke up.” He fell quiet again after his initial excitement. It felt as though there was a thorn in his heart. He wanted to pull the thorn out, but it hurt just to touch it.“Is Michael Luther… good to you?”“Yeah, pretty much.”There was pain in his eyes and he hurriedly lowered them, putting on a gracious act.“Congratulations. From now on, you’ll finally be
“Not too long ago, I woke up one morning and realized that I was trapped behind bars again. He had installed metal grilles over all the windows in the room.“In my eyes, those bars were no different from the ones in prison six years ago.“He tried everything to imprison me. He only finally let go when he’s sick and dying.“He said something about getting tired of this game and getting bored of me. I believed him.“He’s dying, so he lets go.“Is that supposed to show how generous and loving
“See? Master White agrees. Move aside and don’t stop me, the boss is in a lot of danger right now!” Dos’ expression was vicious. “I need to stop…”Halfway through his sentence, the three people outside heard some mortifying noises coming from inside the room.They were all experienced in the ways of life, so no matter how slow they might be, they still understood what those noises meant.Dos’ face instantly turned completely red.“Go on, kick the door down. Your boss is in danger,” Alora tea
After the second apple, there was the third... By the time he reached the fifth, he looked at the apple in his hand with a troubled expression. No matter how much he liked fruit, he still could not eat so many at once. Besides, he never liked apples to begin with.“Eat some more, or you won’t have the strength,” she said calmly. He was completely stumped. The strength? The strength for what?The wheels in his brain were still turning as he tried to process her words when the woman by his bed
At the hospital, the ward door opened without a sound. This time, Dos did not report the arrival in advance.When Elior arrived in a hurry, he immediately saw that woman.Before he said anything, Alora pulled him back out into the corridor. The door opened and closed again.The man on the bed lay on his side, fast asleep.No one knew what he was dreaming about, but the deep frown on his face showed that he did not have pleasant dreams.His hand rested on the covers, his wedding ring still a
"Don't worry, this time Sean Stewart won't disturb you again. He never will anymore. "Go and do what you do best, Jane Dunn. Run away!"With those words, Alora turned and left.She did not know what she was mad about. Perhaps she was not mad at all, just a little sorry about the whole state of affairs.It was almost as though she was the one who was not getting her happy ending. In her eyes, one of them had done wrong in the past and was now filled with regret, determined to turn over a n
