“How's it going? Have you felt the pain I have to endure? Emily, are you naive or stupid? Do you think I will fall into your love trap full of iron hooks again?” Kevin reached forward, grabbed her chin, lifted her face, and spoke in a joking voice.“So, all those words and actions of caring for me while in the mountains were just lies?”“Of course. You believed it, right? Are you disappointed now? You left me when I needed you the most, and if I did that, I would still be very good.”Emily raised her hand to push away the hand that was touching her and stepped back. She did not expect that time could change a person so much. Yet she thought that Kevin from five years ago had returned to her side.Did he say it was all a lie? But it was clear that he risked his life to rush into the rushing water just to save her.She didn't believe that he risked his life just because he wanted revenge on her. In the end, why did he become like this?Not far away, Daniel saw and heard everything. It t
When Daniel returned home, it was already past ten o'clock at night. However, he saw his brother still sitting at the stone table under the sycamore tree, not sleeping.The call just now was also Kevin's first call that Daniel refused to pick up.“Daniel.” Kevin spoke up when he saw his younger brother intentionally ignoring and passing by.Daniel knew he couldn't avoid Kevin when both of them were living under the same roof and working in the same company, so he had to sit down and face the face that he suddenly felt a bit hateful of.“Emily is my ex-girlfriend. When I hadn't found a family yet, she and I fell in love. Then, when I got caught up in legal trouble, she disappeared without saying goodbye.”Not wanting to waste his younger brother's time, Kevin quickly spoke directly about the past problem.“Brother, she was still too young at that time. And you shouldn't take revenge on her like that. The past is the past. The law is still tolerant and gives criminals a chance to rebuil
Emily did not know about Daniel's unexpected business trip. It wasn't until Emma appeared and informed the shareholders that she knew.Even though she had a high fever last night, this morning she still went to the company early to recheck the documents before bringing them to the large meeting room.And to make sure the same thing didn't happen, she sat in here until the board of directors and shareholders appeared.This extraordinary shareholder meeting mainly revolves around capital sources, business plans, and dividend prices. Some shareholders want to increase the dividend price.Even though Emily was very tired, she still tried to keep her eyes open and recorded all the opinions and discussions of the leaders.The fever still torments her even though she has taken medicine. It seemed like every two hours she had a fever, and she was extremely chilled and uncomfortable.Until lunchtime, the meeting still could not come to an end. At this time, Emily's whole body was exhausted, sw
After receiving almost the entire bottle of intravenous fluid, Emily gradually regained consciousness.The moment she opened her eyes and saw Daniel's happy face, she thought she was dreaming. However, his big, warm hand helped her realize this was reality.“Deputy general director... ah, Mr. Daniel.” Emily quickly called his name because she saw him frowning when she said the first few words.“Uh, it's good that you're awake. Please eat some porridge.”As he spoke, he helped her sit up, took the warm porridge box, opened it, and carefully fed her.Her right hand was receiving intravenous fluids, so it was inconvenient to hold a spoon, so she obediently opened her mouth and let him serve her like a child.The feeling of coldness, loneliness, and self-pity in her heart was also greatly reduced thanks to this man's kindness.When the porridge box was empty, the tears she tried to suppress also broke.“Don't cry, I will be very heartbroken.”Daniel gently touched the cheek of the person
At exactly seven o'clock in the morning, Daniel drove Emily back to the hotel. He took the initiative to go out so she could comfortably shower and change clothes, then it was his turn.The feeling of sharing the living space in this room with a girl made him feel like they were a couple, almost husband and wife.“The wounds haven't completely healed yet. Besides, you told your dad you were going on a business trip for a week.”Daniel spoke up when he saw her arranging the dresses and clothes he bought and putting them into bags.Although she hadn't said anything, he understood that this was the action of someone who was about to leave.“Ah, I... I miss him and I don't feel very secure, an elderly person being at home alone...”When she said this, she immediately fell silent. Her family's current difficult financial situation needs to be kept secret. Daniel would certainly be surprised to know that her family cannot hire a maid.In the past, her father hired a maid, but now she takes
When Emily arrived, the guests had already arrived. She bowed and went to the empty chair next to Kevin and sat down.He proactively introduced her to everyone and tore off a cold towel and gave it to her. This action acts as a way to protect her from the lustful eyes of indecent men.He is now the general director of the Unicons group, and the scope of choosing relationships cannot be limited to only decent people. If they don't do anything excessive, he will still consider meeting and collaborating.If it weren't for Emma texting him, informing him that Daniel told her to book a table for two at the restaurant opposite the company, he wouldn't have brought Emily with him. He won't let the two of them have a chance to get close to each other.“Oh, sorry guys, I overslept so I'm late.”As soon as the man entered the room, he quickly apologized and then approached and shook hands with each person.He is a reporter for a famous newspaper in the North. This time he went to the South on b
Because Kevin had an appointment with the city party secretary, before five o'clock, he picked up his briefcase and left the office. He also wanted to bring his assistant with him, but looking at her tired face, he couldn't bear to drag her with him. Anyway, her body is weak so it would be better for her to go home and rest. Furthermore, tonight Daniel was also invited to a ceremony honoring young entrepreneurs, so he guessed that his younger brother probably wouldn't have time to follow her footsteps. Emily stayed behind, arranged the documents neatly, cleaned the desk and floor, then turned off the light and walked to the elevator. The private offices of big bosses are always cleaned by assistants. Cleaning staff are not allowed in, they only clean the hallways. In the early winter afternoon, the wind was chilly, blowing her soft hair. The staff standing next to her had boarded the bus that had just arrived, and now she was the only one left at the bus stop. Her route home did n
After a while of trying to ask, Emily also knew the real reason for the wounds on her father's body.Turns out, there was no mistake, but it was a warning from a group of gangsters specializing in predatory lending. They threatened that if within a week he did not pay back both capital and interest, they would take his life.She didn't expect that her father would get into debt and the interest would multiply day by day.“Emily, don't keep crying like that. Or... please ask Kevin to help us. He loves you so much that ignoring the past, he will help us. You are also creating a good relationship with his family members, right?”At this point, Emily could no longer hide this from her father. She bitterly confessed to him that she was abandoned by Kevin the night she went to his house for dinner.He brought another girl home to introduce her to his family and said he did so because he wanted her to experience being betrayed by someone else.“So where have you been these days? If you don't
