When dawn came, it was time for Emily to leave the house and go to the Wine Company. This morning, she planned to go to the cemetery herself, but when she received a call from Irene, she had to change direction.She knew she couldn't hide forever. She must be responsible for what her father caused.Wine Company is a one-member limited liability company and her father is the only person named on the business license, with no shareholders at all.A heavy atmosphere enveloped the meeting room. Emily silently listened to the departments reporting the company's current situation.As soon as the news that the deputy general director of Unicons Group passed away was widely posted in electronic articles, banks also turned against the Wine Company.They sent a document requesting payment of overdue debt and announced that they would sue in court early next week.“Orders are still under production and partners are urging us. They said if we don't deliver the goods to them on time, they will can
After Ryan left, there were only Kevin and Emily left in the home. He sat beside the bed, holding her thin hand, his eyes never leaving her haggard face.Everything that just happened was too much for a fragile girl like her to bear. She is lively, cheerful, and enthusiastic in pursuing him, but she is not a strong girl, good at controlling her emotions like Emma.“Emily, I'm so sorry for letting us get to this point. I... I don't know what to do anymore.”After sighing, he laid his head down and then gradually fell asleep. Since the night he shared a bed with her, he hasn't had a good night's sleep.Events continued to happen, causing him to almost collapse. However, responsibility successfully pulled him back, forcing him to stand firmly on his tired feet.At midnight, the rain stopped falling and stopped lulling Emily to sleep. She slowly opened her eyes, stared at the ceiling, and then looked next to her, where a man was sleeping soundly.The dim light of the table lamp was not en
When sunset came over the city again, the plane carrying Brian landed on the runway.The work at the foreign branch had been handled smoothly, so the young deputy general director's mood also lightened a bit.However, the moment he turned on his phone and saw the message from his doctor friend, his heart suddenly sank.As soon as he left the plane, he quickly walked to the parking lot. The doctor made an appointment for him to go to a small cafe on the main road to get the results of the DNA test.These past few days, his mind was only focused on work and meetings to find solutions and troubleshoot, so he forgot about this important matter.“Take a look.” The doctor gave him the results and said.Brian quickly took it and read it quickly with his eyes. And when he saw the analysis results and the conclusion confirming that he and that girl were related by blood as brother and sister, he almost collapsed.His hand unconsciously tightened, causing the thin stack of papers to become wrin
Because Emily received a message from Brian, she no longer needed to contact any company or corporation.According to her preliminary calculations, the price he offered would help the Wine company no longer owe anyone anything after changing ownership. Of course, this house will also be sold to him.Now, she only lives alone and doesn't need such a large area. She just wanted to pay off her father's debts so that he no longer had any debt, so that no one would curse or blame him anymore.While she was eating a bowl of bird's nest porridge, there was a noise outside and then the familiar face of Kevin appeared, making her a little uneasy.These past few days, he always visited her at night, could it be that he discovered something? It's also possible that Daisy told him that Brian had come here to see her.“Have you finished thinking? Have you got an answer yet?” He put his hand on her forehead to check her temperature in the traditional way and asked.“I won't marry you. I will find s
Before the sun appeared, Kevin got out of bed. He walked quickly to Daniel's room.A familiar scene met his eyes, on the balcony, his mother was sitting on a chair, next to the blooming white rose bushes, holding a small watering can in her hand.“Before Daniel could see the flowers he planted blooming, he left.” Jessica sighed and said.“I believe he is also admiring the flowers with us.” He gently touched his hand to the blooming flower, smiled, and replied.Previously, Daniel did not pay much attention to the trees and flowers in the house. The flower bed on the balcony of the villa was originally planted with fleur-de-lis, according to his mother's preference.However, since he knew Emily liked roses, he immediately bought plants and planted them himself, replacing the previous fleur de lis bushes.Although Jessica hated Emily and knew her son planted these flowers for her hobby, because it was his effort, she could not uproot them and could only take care of them every day.“Mom,
Emily put down the phone and looked out the glass window. The lights from the apartment building in the distance were disappearing one by one like the tower of stars she built for herself had sunk into the darkness of the past.The love story between her, Daniel, and Kevin made her happy but also sad, so she didn't want to get involved anymore.“Kevin, let's stop here, you and I should completely end it. Hope you find your other half soon. Let's... let each other go.”She picked up the phone, called a taxi, then pulled her suitcase and left the room. She has a minimalist lifestyle even though she is a fashion designer. Her clothes are not too much.If Daniel hadn't bought a few more office dresses and pajamas for her that day, this suitcase would have been much lighter.As she passed the living room, she stopped, adjusted Daisy's sleeping position, then turned back to get a blanket and covered her.“Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I hope you find a good job soon.
The news that GE Group successfully acquired the Wine company was quickly mentioned in online newspapers and soon, Matthew also knew.Kevin told him that as soon as he returned, he would hold a meeting, go through the shareholders' opinions, and then contact the Wine company to carry out the purchasing procedures.However, now the Wine company has changed owners, so quickly that not only Matthew but everyone is surprised at the speed of Kent and Brian's work.After lunch, Matthew immediately arranged to meet Kevin and drove to the coffee shop opposite Unicons group.The moment he looked at his son sitting down in front of him, he realized the instability in Kevin's eyes even though he was trying to show that he was fine.“What's the matter that made you call me out? Why don't you go into the company?”“Have you met her yet?” Matthew put down his teacup and asked instead of answering.“She ran away. Dad, do I look so hateful? So, even if GE Corporation did not buy the Wine company at a
After resting for three more days, Emily immediately regained her spirit and went to earn money to buy rice. The North side of the city is not as bustling as the South side of the city, so opportunities to find jobs are also limited. She cannot use her business administration degree to apply for a job because she is afraid that she will meet Kevin during the work process. Even if it is a rare case, it is still possible because the earth is inherently round. Seeing a fairly large tailor shop posting a sign recruiting skilled tailors, Emily immediately walked in and asked to apply. They only needed to recruit three more people, but she was the seventh. She also did not expect that she just wanted to find a normal job that did not require high qualifications but would be so difficult. It seems that the competition is no less than applying to large corporations and companies. “Who is Emily?” The woman asked as soon as she looked at Emily's profile introducing her qualifications. “I
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
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
