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
They went to lunch with the chief secretary to take advantage of this break time to further cultivate their relationship."Assistant Forger is truly a special person." Aboli Brian raised her eyebrows and spoke. The girl didn't recognize her, indicating she didn't pay attention to her during their time at the restaurant.From childhood to adulthood, her presence had always been the center of attention among the crowd. But on that day, when she went to the restaurant with Loona Richart, Damian Desmond, and Fiona Forger ignored her.They are a couple!The two other secretaries just smiled without making any comments. At this moment, Anna Desmond also arrived, and the four of them sat down together, discussing non-work matters.When Fiona Forger returned to the office and opened the door, she saw the familiar tall figure standing by the window. She rushed over, leaping into his arms, and happily said, "Boss, you're back..."The man tightly embraced her, leaning down to inhale her familiar
Angela Zylians was stunned, clearly surprised by the man's request. She didn't turn around and replied, "Alright, may I ask what kind of tea the CEO would like?""Anything is fine." Jacky Forger threw those words at her and didn't say anything else. She could only leave to make the tea.When Anna Desmond returned from the CEO's office and heard that Jacky Forger wanted tea, she was so surprised that her eyes almost popped.What's gotten into him today?Usually, he only drank pure coffee, so when did this CEO change his preference?Her secretary should know better. Over the years, she had memorized the habits and tastes of essential guests who frequently visited the company. CEO Forger and her boss had similar preferences, always sticking to pure coffee.Who would have thought he suddenly changed his taste? That's strange! Last week, they were still drinking coffee during the meeting!"Angela Zylians, do you know how to make tea? Just make a pot of whatever he wants." Remembering her t
Even though she used a clean pair of chopsticks to pick food for her son, he still complained. Can she be blamed for that? "But didn't you say that I took the food from you every time?" Miss Forger couldn't help but retort. "Who said I took it from you?" Miss Forger couldn't stand it anymore and didn't bother to respond. "It's because you don't feel ashamed to take it from me," he replied. "Is this table not enough for the two of us?" Damian Desmond looked at the mother and son and was at a loss for words. If someone heard their conversation, they might think he couldn't support his wife and child."Boss, you should manage your wife. She's still so competitive with a child."Puddy Forger skillfully peeled a shrimp and put it in his mouth. "Puddy Forger, how dare you call me old? Hmph, it's better to give birth to an egg than a child." At least an egg wouldn't annoy her."Too bad the egg can't call me a mother.""It would if it hatched into a chick.""Stop talking and eat." The man ord
"There is someone, you know! Joe Otis said that he will come to London next semester to study with Selena." The kids grew up together, went to school together, and now you're alone in Singapore. It's normal to miss your friend."This matter will be discussed between your father and me." Damian Desmond nodded solemnly.Even if he and Fiona Forger agreed, the older man would not agree to let his young nephew become a student studying abroad. Even he, at 15, only went abroad to study.By now, the car had entered the Desmond family's compound. The story ended, but Fiona was still fast asleep. Even when Damian Desmond carried her out of the car and went into the house, there were no signs of her waking up.Inside the small villa, a few warm wall lights were still on. Puddy Forger carried Xu and ran upstairs, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at someone taking his mother, preparing to go upstairs..."Why?" Surprised by his son's sudden pause, Damian Desmond asked."Boss, will you alw
