So, it took almost ten minutes to investigate the origin of the incident.He, for the sake of that girl, had done all this. What else could he say?A silent, throbbing pain spread in his chest, causing his hand holding the wine glass to tilt, spilling the remaining wine on his pristine white bathrobe.A few drops of dark red wine, resembling blood flowing from an unseen wound in his heart...His heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, making breathing difficult.Take a deep breath! Take another deep breath...A minute later, he gradually regained his composure.He glanced at his phone, not bothering to pay attention to the countless messages in the group, and saved the photo that everyone was wildly circulating before going offline.He had never made any remarks in the group chat or was often online. Initially, he joined the group because he was also in it, but now...He was no longer in the group and didn't care about this group anymore.o0oThe two girls had fini
"So, how is that compensation calculated?" Miss Forger was genuinely interested in this matter. If she heard correctly, it was pretty high."The most basic formula is the offering price multiplied by the number of shares multiplied by the agreed percentage. Do you understand?" Anna Desmond's words were barely finished when the secretary's voice came from outside the door."Desmond Secretary, the receptionist just reported that Mr. Lampo's group has arrived."o0oIn the CEO's office at Desmond Corporation, Mr. Peter Desmond, who had been absent for the past few days, finally appeared today. He didn't neglect his work because of his divorce. But how could Mr. Desmond, a man, live without women? As soon as one left, another younger and more beautiful one immediately filled the vacancy, with a long line of girls waiting to be served by that wealthy man.But today, he appeared so happy, naturally not because of women but because an old friend had visited from afar.In his territory, how co
"Perhaps my father and I are still waiting for you. Enjoy your meal...""You... Rapunzel, let's go!" Chairman Lampo, who was also in a sorry state, being treated like this by Damian Desmond, had lost all face and naturally had no intention of saying anything else."Father..." Rapunzel Lampo didn't want to go, looking bewildered at the imposing, cold-hearted man.Angry to the extreme, Chairman Lampo pulled his daughter out the door, only to see Anna Desmond walking in with a stiff face. "Chairman Lampo, Miss Lampo, let me see you off."In the office, only Damian Desmond and Fiona Forger remained.She looked at him urgently, her hand not caught in his grip pulling on the man's sleeve. "I'm truly sorry for unintentionally ruining your business...""Are you a fool?" The man lowered his head to look at her; his voice was cold and distant, making Fiona Forger nervously bite her lip."You are my assistant, not a servant. You don't have to serve those two idiots. Do you understand?"The boss
"But doesn't the assistant have to accompany you on business trips?" Fiona asked."Not this time." He had initially planned to take her along, but considering her recent exhaustion, he thought it would be better for her to rest instead of traveling around and overeating."But I still want to go to work. What should I do now?""Next time, we'll go together." He almost softened when he saw her pitiful expression. "If I bring you along, I won't need to work. So, stay at home and wait for me."What does he mean by bringing her along and not needing to work? Boss, he can't control his reactions, and he blames her?"You can't resist temptation. Remember, don't tease those vixens when you're out." Miss Forger felt it necessary to warn him now that she no longer needed to sleep."There's already a vixen at home who's caused me to lose my appetite. It's not about desire; it's about eating out."Fiona couldn't help but stroke her imaginary beard. "Boss, is it possible to lose your appetite over
Being the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family took work, especially when the elders didn't recognize her. Alice knew that she would gradually experience the consequences, and if her husband didn't stand by her side, she couldn't imagine how she would get through the days.Not to mention that this was Mr. Peter Desmond's second marriage, and he was no longer young. Moreover, Alice was not the one with power in the family. In addition to her age and appearance being inferior to that of Alice, Mr. Desmond's first wife was someone who could be compared to her. It was standard for people to make such comparisons.The only fortunate thing for Alice was that Mr. Peter Desmond didn't live with his father, Desmond. His children were all grown up, so they didn't need a stepmother like her to take care of them.Alice believed she could secure her position in this household if she could seize the opportunity to become pregnant with a child.In the main house's living room, when meeting with other
Mr. Peter Desmond and Alice were the last ones to leave because before leaving, Mr. Peter Desmond made a visit to the patriarch's secluded quarters, going alone."Peter, it seems like the patriarch doesn't like me much. What should I do?"As the car left the Desmond family mansion, Alice pressed the button to raise the privacy divider between the front and rear compartments before daring to voice the discomfort that had plagued her all day.Due to having limited opportunities to meet regularly, apart from a monthly dinner, Alice had few chances to win the patriarch's favor except for the little boy, who only started calling him "grandfather" tonight.Because of that one word, "grandfather," the person who had always felt young suddenly began to feel old. Even though his face and figure still maintained the appearance of someone in their 40s, he was already approaching retirement age.But the girl sitting next to him was only 29 years old, which was still considered young for a woman a
Although Miss Forger's clothes were loose-fitting, based on the experience of observing Norman's women, she knew for sure that she wasn't a cup D.After so many years, she hadn't grown up a bit! On the contrary, her slim waist and long legs were not wrong.When Norman offended Miss Forger, she became furious and said, "You lascivious person, have you seen enough? If you don't let me go, I will tell him you are treating me disrespectfully."Treating someone disrespectfully is not a minor offense, and Norman Desmond dared not look at her anymore. He immediately let Fiona Forger go..."Fiona Forger, you can be promiscuous, but your words must be proper!" This time he spoke very earnestly.Just now, on the phone, the eldest brother even told him to have less lonely contact with her in the future. If the eldest brother heard her vulgar and inappropriate words, he might have punished him severely when he returned."Are you scared?" Miss Forger pouted."Fiona Forger, let me tell you, I'm not
"Narcissistic?""Thought you could move the whole Earth.""Well, moving the whole Earth might be difficult." Norman Desmond suddenly closed in, pressing her against the elevator wall. His arms blocked both sides of her, making it difficult for her to move. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "But moving you is quite easy."Liliana Forger, who had always known this man was a rogue, only now deeply understood that all the rogues combined were not equal to one of his fingertips! His tongue was a rogue, and his actions were even more despicable...After he finished that sentence, he pressed even closer to her. "Do you want to try if I can move you?"Without waiting for him to finish, she lifted her foot, intending to kick him. But perhaps it was because this Young Master Norman had teased girls too much; she guessed what his next move would be and quickly dodged it.At this moment, the elevator door opened just in time, and she said, "Crazy," before stepping out, with that rogue nat
