Bang!Madam Dunn’s face turned white.She felt like she was walking on air as she staggered backward. Her eyes were in shock, and she panicked.“I have no choice! If Sean refuses to let Dunn Group and Joseph off the hook, I will be hopeless in the future.“Do you think I want to help that old bastard, Joseph?“Your brother Jason is still lying on the hospital bed!“If Dunn Group goes bankrupt, if that old bastard is finished, what about your brother’s medical fees?“Even if your brother r
“Jane, I have my own problems as well…” Madam Dunn cried until her eyes looked like two almonds. However, she was still attractive even though she was middle-aged. Her fair and delicate hands were wiping away her tears. That gesture made her look even more pitiful. One would not be able to control themselves to go and comfort her.Jane laughed. “Oh, problems. Right, Madam Dunn has problems. No wonder.”Ray looked at the woman who was smiling lightly on the rattan chair. He felt suffocated. He
Beep.When the cold and deep tone sounded in the cold office, the sound did not just break the silent atmosphere in the office, it also broke the weird atmosphere there.The thin man glanced at the screen of the phone on the desk. “Do you mind?”He lifted his gaze and looked at the marvelous man on the other side of the desk who was sitting on the chair.Even though it was a question, it was obvious he did not care whether the person opposite him minded or not.Before the person could say a
“What identity are you going to beg me with?”Jane’s eyes lit up. “A friend,” she said eventually.There were no traces of anger on the man’s face. His voice was gentle and firm. “I’m sorry, I can’t help you.” He was straightforward with his rejection. He was resolute and decisive.Jane’s expression changed. She had expected him to reject her. However, she did not expect him to not even consider it. He rejected her with no mercy nor consideration for others.The man sighed lightly. He explai
Her hand that was holding the phone was shaking like a fallen leaf in autumn. Ray had never seen a woman like her before. She did not need to tell everyone her sadness. She could just sit there and one could feel her sadness.Madam Dunn felt her chest getting tighter. She did not know this kind of emotion. She had never felt this way before. The thing that she was concerned about right now was…“Jane, how did it go? Mr. Stewart…”“Mr. Stewart said he’ll let Dunn Group off the hook.” The woman
“The only person in the entire Dunn household who can persuade Jane to call me is Old Master Dunn. Since they dared to use Old Master Dunn’s name, then they should know that the woman has a temper as well,” Sean said lowly. “It’s only right for her to be the person in charge of the Dunn household.”Now, it was for the best that she wanted to be the person in charge of the Dunn household. It meant that she had to come back to S City from the simple and peaceful Erhai. When she was back in S City
Haydn was in Yunnan.He saw that woman.He wanted to approach her… but his feet felt like they were made of lead.That nightSometimes the wind was very strong at Erhai at night.There was always a car parked next to the road opposite Memory Homestay.Sometimes it was a cab, sometimes it was a private car. The number plates were always different, but the person inside was always the same: Haydn Soros.He did not dare to get any closer to that homestay.After all, she was inside.The win
Haydn raised his head and looked in the rearview mirror as well, giving the Didi driver in the mirror a smile that looked worse than a sob. “Let’s go.”He did not know anymore!“Go where?”“Where’s the place with the most people?”“At a time like this?” They Didi driver gave it some thought and then beamed at him. “It has to be the bars at Lijiang Ancient City then, but it’s a two-hour drive from here. Do you want to go?”“Sure! Why not?” Haydn grinned too, but it was an extremely ironic sm
"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
