By the time the couple arrived at the police station, Reid's statement had already been taken and superiors were also preparing an arrest warrant for Jennifer.From Reid's testimony, they discovered that he and Jennifer did not just do bad things once.The chandelier fell, aphrodisiacs were added to the wine at the year-end party, and the video was sent to Daniel moments before the accident.After giving her testimony and signing the report, Emily staggered out of the police station. Every time Kevin touched her hand to try to support her, she immediately pushed his hand away.Everyone, including her, could guess the reason why someone who was extremely careful in traffic like Daniel suddenly lost control of the steering wheel and crashed into the median.“Emily, don't hate me, neither of us wants that.” Kevin hugged her from behind, speaking in pain.“You also think like me, right? We, you and I, are the cause of Daniel's death.” Emily said in tears and tried her best to escape his a
The car slowed down and stopped in front of a luxury restaurant. Emily bit her lips lightly again and followed James inside. She did not expect that after all these years of exile, the day she returned, she had to meet her ex-lover just to save the Wine company, which is also her father's lifelong inheritance. “Hello. We sincerely apologize for being late.” James bowed and shook hands with Matthew and Jessica, then he turned to his daughter and proudly introduced her. “This is Emily, my only daughter. She just returned from country A.” Emily smiled brightly and politely greeted the two people in front of her. She realized that her ex-lover converged on all the excellent features on the faces of both his father and mother. Honestly, at first, she actively pursued Kevin simply because he was the most handsome in school, then his nice, warm personality gradually made her fall deeply in love with him. But in the end, the two of them had to part ways. “You two sit down. Kevin is c
“Your foot is bleeding. How can you abandon yourself like that? I'll take you to the hospital.” Daniel did not wait for the strange girl to say yes or no. He bent down and picked up Emily, causing her to unconsciously wrap her arms around his neck. She felt like she was a Cinderella meeting a prince. This lavish city seems to be concentrated with many rich people. She sat by the canal and also met a rich young man. When Daniel had just put Emily in the front seat, she lifted her injured leg and left it on her healthy leg because she was worried that blood would fall on the car floor mat. If she hadn't been afraid of ugliness at first and had properly bandaged her wounds, she wouldn't have been this pathetic. Honestly, she didn't expect that she would be dragged by Kevin like a bag. “Just sit comfortably. I am also planning to replace the car floor mats with new ones.” Daniel said. The car drove for about five minutes, then Emily saw a small clinic on the side of the road, so sh
It was late at night. In the dim lights of the room with classical architectural design, Kevin was still quietly sipping a glass of wine. Six years have passed and the wound in his heart still cannot be healed. This wound was given to him by the girl he loved. A week has passed since he met her and she has not appeared in front of him anymore. “Emily, you are also very obedient. That's right. Stay away from me. Don't hang around in front of me anymore.” Kevin said as he raised his glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. His thin fingers gripped the glass as if he wanted to crush it. That day, he stood behind the bars of the prison and waited patiently for her. Finally, the day he was exonerated, he immediately called her to find her, but he could not contact her. He only knew that she had gone abroad to study through the words of a classmate. After he put the glass back on the table, he staggered back to the bed and lay down, closing his eyes. At this moment, Emily was sitti
Since Jennifer's birthday party, Kevin has not gone out to meet or receive partners anymore. The year-end projects are in the sprint stage, so he is forced to devote all his time to work if he wants to be worthy of the hot chair he is sitting in. “Why is Venn late to work? It's already nine o'clock.” Kevin looked at the watch in his hand and grumbled. It's been three years since Venn was recruited into Unicons Corporation to be Kevin's personal assistant, he never came late to the company. He always comes before everyone, his fingerprint is always the first fingerprint printed on the timekeeper every morning. Kevin was about to call his assistant when he heard a knock on the door. A few seconds later, Daniel walked in. Daniel saw the disappointed expression of Unicons general manager, so he crept over to the sofa and sat down. “Are you waiting for someone?” Daniel just poured tea into a cup and asked. Kevin was just about to open his mouth to answer when the phone rang, stoppin
“Take a seat.”Daniel pointed to the sofa and slowly sat down, pouring tea into a cup.Emily smiled and did as he said. She glanced around the room. It seems that the layout and interior design of this place have partly reflected the interior, and personality of its owner, warm and friendly.“Please have tea.” He pushed the teacup closer to her hand and spoke softly.“Thank you. I really don't think I can be your employee.” She picked up the cup of tea and said.“Usually, the excellent new graduates who come out of Fashion Future will choose to stay in the world fashion capital. Why don't you choose to be like them? Is it because you still have an inheritance burden?”Daniel's question made Emily a little sad because she suddenly remembered the day she set foot at the airport.Originally, she also intended to stay in country A to forever forget the man she loved, but because her father told him to miss her and because he was unwell, she had to fly back.In the end, she couldn't ignore
Seeing Kevin engrossed in documents and seemingly not paying attention to the presence of himself and the girl next to him, Daniel didn't know whether his brother agreed.“Would you accept her as your assistant?” Daniel asked his brother but his eyes looked at Emily.“He has already agreed. I will start my work from today.” She answered.“As I said, no one would refuse a potential employee. Please try to support him for a few months, then come back to me.”Daniel patted Emily's shoulder and quickly returned to his room to continue handling work.Waiting until the door closed, Kevin raised his head to look at the girl standing in front of him. He didn't expect her to lie with such confidence.“What should I do now?” Emily ventured to ask.She only received silence from Kevin. He just considered her invisible and didn't pay any attention to her. However, every time he suddenly looked up, he saw her staring at him so he felt uncomfortable.The more he thought about it, the angrier he bec
Because Emily was engrossed in getting used to her new job, she didn't pay attention to the time. She opened all the data files on the computer to review the contents.The businesses of Wine Company and Unicons Group are completely different, so she was not surprised that when Kevin first hired her, he let her see his company's data at will.Even if the two companies are in the same industry and she gets the business secrets of the Unicons group, it doesn't mean anything when one side is an elephant and the other side is an ant. As soon as the ant raised its foot, it was already trampled by the elephant. What more could it hope to do?“When you leave the room, lock the door. If you keep the key, go to work early tomorrow. Don't forget that important meeting.”Hearing Kevin's voice, Emily realized it was already late afternoon. Glancing at the right corner of the computer screen and seeing that it was after five o'clock in the afternoon, she quickly turned off the computer and tidied u

After another week, Kevin felt secure in leaving Emily at home. His mother generously sent her housekeeper, Mary, and a young girl to his house.They know how to drive and are familiar with every corner of this city. The important thing is that they are not married, and have no daughter, younger sister, or older sister.“Tomorrow, I'll take you home to visit my parents. Don't worry about anything.” Kevin reached out and gently pinched his wife's cheek and spoke.“Yes.”Emily nodded and continued to eat breakfast. Kevin always ate faster than her and left the table before her.Maybe it was because he had to go to the company, and she was at home, with nothing urgent to handle.While eating, she thought about what gift to give her mother-in-law. Although Jessica doesn't lack anything, she shouldn't go there with empty hands.When Emily went back upstairs, put on makeup, and changed clothes, the phone rang. She saw a strange phone number, but she still picked it up.On the other end of t
At first, Kevin planned to run to Lisa's residence, but thought again and again, in the end, he called Venn and told him to call two more people to bring her back here so he could interrogate her.His wife had just donated bone marrow, so he couldn't leave her alone at home, and he didn't feel secure if he took her with him.“Emily, sit down here and I'll slowly explain to you. I swear, nothing has happened between me and Lisa that violates morality, and my heart has no room for her, it's all for you.”Witnessing his drastic actions, Emily had a bit of trust so she obediently let him help her sit down.Kevin pointed to the photo at the airport and confirmed that those were his legs and that he pulled Lisa's suitcase because her legs were injured after saving him from a terrible accident.“You never told me about the accident.” Emily spoke up indignantly.“I'm afraid you'll worry. During those days, I was in so much pain that my face was distorted and I didn't have the strength to have
Each day passed quietly, the day after tomorrow was the day of surgery and tomorrow, Emily had to be hospitalized to prepare for surgery with Brian.To be honest, she was very worried. She wasn't worried about herself because the doctor had assured her that she wouldn't be in pain, but she was worried about Brian's probability of success.She knows that even though surgeries are guaranteed, there will still be small mistakes that can happen.Since the night Kevin refused to take Daisy away, Emily saw that Daisy's eyes seemed to be avoiding her, but she didn't care much.“What time will you leave tomorrow?” Kevin asked while patting her back to soothe her to sleep because he saw her tossing and turning.“I'll start leaving at seven o'clock in the morning, I'll have time to kiss you good morning.” She replied lazily.“Yes, if you're gone for a few days, you'll make up for it for me to have sex multiple times in a row in one night, okay?” He blew gently into her ear, teasing her.“Perver
When the party ended, Kevin's face was red from the alcohol. Emily only took a sip of wine at the beginning of the party so she was still alert and could drive him home.All the way home, he closed his eyes and didn't say a word, but as soon as she helped him back to the bedroom, he pushed her down on the bed and kissed her frantically.“Are you jealous, Emily?” He asked when the long kiss had just ended.“No.” She took a breath and replied.“You said you were afraid I would mistake my wife for another woman. Emily, you were so harsh just now. Tell me, am I right or wrong now?”Before Emily could answer, he leaned down again and continued to kiss her. His nimble hands took off the seductive dress from her body and the suit from his body, quickly becoming one with her.One sleepless night, in the morning, when the alarm clock rang for the third time, both of them still did not want to open their eyes.It wasn't until Sara called, reminding Kevin about this morning's meeting that he laz
By the time Kevin got home, it was nine o'clock. Seeing Emily sitting and swinging on the swing, he immediately walked over, placed the rose bouquet in her lap, and sat down in front of her, looking at her beautiful but expressionless face.“Last night I worked too late and fell asleep. My phone ran out of battery so I didn't know you called. I'm sorry.” He gently stroked her hair, speaking in a low voice.“After this, I won't call you anymore.” She put the bouquet aside and spoke indifferently.“Don't, Emily, if you don't care about me, who will care about me?”Kevin reached out and hugged Emily's waist, resting his head in her lap.She is his stop after a day of traveling outside. If she ignores him, how will he have the energy to work?Today, meeting Emma, the feeling of guilt towards Daniel deep in his heart has eased.He also wanted to tell his wife about it to make her feel more comfortable, but the words that Daniel told Emma stopped him.“In a few days, when I receive notice
After a good night's sleep, Kevin woke up and reflexively reached out to look for his wife to hug, but the space next to him helped him remember what happened last night, and quickly opened his eyes.His wife was not lying next to him, she sat close to the edge of the bed, leaning her head against the wall, her eyes still closed.Kevin slowly approached, his trembling hand raised to touch her face, but then he quickly withdrew his hand and left the bed, preparing to go to the company.Although Emily could hear and know every move of her husband, she still sat still, pretending to be asleep.It wasn't until she was sure that the man had left the room that she opened her eyes, dragged her aching body into the bathroom, and washed away what belonged to him clinging to her body.Next, she went to the pharmacy near her house to buy birth control pills.Right now, she can't let herself get pregnant. She didn't want the baby to become the reason for her and him to be entangled when his love
This incident was quite complicated so the deputy head of the IT department and technicians could not handle it.The person who is the best and can restore the system, the department head, is on his way here.Yesterday, he asked for leave to return to his hometown, but this afternoon he had to drive back to the city.Although the distance between the two places is not too far, it still takes an hour to enter the city. Not to mention the city's traffic jams are terrible at this time.“He said it would take about half an hour to get into the city.” A technician spoke up after ending the call with the head of the IT department.Knowing that standing here and waiting wouldn't bring any results, Kevin took Emily back to his office and had dinner with her.Fortunately, she was here to eat with him, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to swallow it.“Everything will be okay.” Emily picked up a piece of meat, placed it in her husband's rice bowl, and said.“I know, I'm just afraid
At precisely three o'clock in the afternoon, Emily took a taxi to the city cemetery. White chrysanthemums are always the flowers she chooses to place on the graves of the deceased.After chatting in front of her parents' grave, she sat next to Daniel's grave, leaned her head on it, and closed her eyes.She wanted to tell him that he had entrusted her to the wrong person, but she couldn't.He didn't know and she couldn't blame him. He always wanted to give her the best things.She could no longer lean on that person's shoulder, so she had to come here to find some comfort.Until after five o'clock in the afternoon, Emily was still sitting in the cemetery, the wind blew gently and the quiet space made her fall asleep without knowing it.When she felt a hand patting her shoulder and heard a deep voice calling her, she suddenly woke up.“Have you been here long? How dare you sleep in a cemetery like this?” Kevin frowned at her but his voice was very gentle.Emily didn't answer, she held h
