The mother's hurtful words were like adding fuel to the fire for Alice, making her unable to sit still any longer. She quickly stood up, her fingers trembling as she pointed towards her mother, who was still incessantly talking, "Mom, have you said enough? You keep making a fuss like this; even if Mr. Peter Desmond is not interested in me, I will still be kicked out of the Desmond family."She recalled that night when he returned home, and she suggested having a child, he immediately stormed through the guest bedroom, warning her not to talk nonsense outside; apart from resentment, she was left feeling utterly silenced, wholly silenced.She thought that becoming Mrs. Desmond was a victory, but it was just a joke.Seeing her daughter's agitation, Mrs. Goreng was also startled, staring at her for a long time without regaining her composure."Mom, haven't you been bragging about your connection to the Desmond family lately? Do you know Mr. Peter Desmond deliberately sought me out to warn
Upon returning to the Forger's house, Fiona's father had been waiting restlessly and scolded her for a while. Her mother hurriedly ushered her upstairs, where the makeup artist and hairstylist were already waiting to start their work. They applied various concealers on the exposed areas of her skin. After all, how could she go out without covering up after the wild night with the boss?She still remembered how that wicked uncle used every means to make her call him "husband," even though she had put on makeup, she could still see a suspicious pink hue on her delicate face, making her look even more charming and indescribable.It's... hard to imagine!"Miss Forger, you have such a beautiful smile!" The makeup artist said sincerely while applying the concealer.Getting engaged was supposed to be a happy event, especially when getting engaged to the esteemed scion of the Desmond family, someone whom many aspiring young ladies dreamed of. She would probably be smiling even in her sleep if
But a child's strength is limited, and coupled with a day of not eating anything, his struggles are in vain. In the end, he used the last of his strength to bite the wrist of the police officer holding him, and the officer, distracted for a moment, released his grip. Seizing the opportunity, he ran away desperately.Running in the rain...However, his physical endurance could only last about 200 meters before his legs gave way, his head felt dizzy, and he felt his small body about to collapse to the ground when a pair of hands from behind pulled him back. Initially, he thought it was the police coming to catch him, and a sense of desperation overwhelmed him. But the person behind spoke, bringing the first glimmer of hope in his life."It's late, and it's dangerous to be here."He looked up and realized that the raindrops hitting him had been blocked by a large black umbrella...The airport parking lot was dimly lit in the rain, but the face of the person before him seemed like a beam
When blood relatives are involved, the chances of finding a suitable kidney will be higher. Therefore, the family's daughter, Fiona Forger, took the initiative to request a kidney compatibility test. If given the choice, Damian Desmond would never allow someone to go through the procedure of donating their kidney. However, this was an unavoidable choice.If he could take her place, he would not hesitate. So, when Fiona Forger asked for the test, he also requested to be tested.Moreover, Mrs. Olivia Forger risked her life to save Fiona; without her help, the person lying on the operating table would probably be her instead. This was something he couldn't admit.From a medical standpoint, removing one kidney would not affect everyday life, but how could the grandfather let his granddaughter take such a risk? Yet, no one could stop what Damian Desmond wanted to do, not even the grandfather.Therefore, ten minutes later, when Fiona Forger went for the test, Damian Desmond also went for a
But she couldn't learn anything from Alice because Damian Desmond's attitude towards Alice fundamentally differed from that of a passionate couple in love.

But little did she know that after several years, her grandson did not forget about the girl and got involved with her again. He even gave up his position as a university professor to work at the Desmond Group and was so busy that he couldn't be found anywhere. If it weren't for little Sam telling her, she would have thought that his job at the university was keeping him occupied to such an extent.Today, she had intended to visit the university to question her grandson about his relationship with that girl. But to her surprise, she received even more shocking news that her grandson had resigned as a professor and joined the Desmond Group.This unfilial grandson of hers! He knew how much she despised the Desmond Group and disliked anyone associated with the Desmonds, yet he secretly defied her by taking such a drastic step. It seemed like he was deliberately provoking her to the point of anger."Grandma, Cherry is a good girl. Please don't say such things about her," Kellan Lutz knew
"Not to mention that you used to be friends. Why does it feel like encountering an enemy when seeing her? It's as if you're afraid she will steal your man. You don't even think like that, but the demon inside you awakens when that thought briefly crosses your mind.She stood up with a rare sweet smile and said, 'Assistant General Manager Bukk, what a coincidence. My car broke down, and I left my wallet and phone at the office. Would you mind giving me a ride?' As soon as she said this, the girl beside him immediately changed her expression.'If Miss Desmond left her wallet behind, why not let Emmett call a taxi for you?' Is there a need to protect one's territory so fiercely?Just a moment ago at the restaurant, they had just met for the first time, yet this girl stared at her with that look, prompting her to respond with a teasing tone. Although she had no experience in love, she could still see through those subtle thoughts of women.'Today, I had a little wine, feeling a bit tipsy,
His angry shout had barely ended when he saw Miss Desmond with her hair let loose, wearing a men's style long shirt that still couldn't cover her legs, revealing her slender and long legs as she stood in front of the bathroom door, "I can't believe there are cockroaches in your bathroom, it scared me to death!"She walked barefoot towards him, her long legs hidden and revealed under the long shirt, which made one's blood boil with excitement..."Stop right there!" Emmett Bukk shouted again, closing his eyes, not wanting to look at the girl before him, "Who allowed you to use my bathroom without permission? And why are you wearing my shirt?"Was he daring to scold her but not daring to look at her? So she was determined to make him look.The men's shirt was quickly removed and thrown at the man's face. "If Assistant General Manager Bukk is so possessive that you won't let me borrow your shirt, I'll return it to you."This time, Emmett Bukk was truly driven crazy by this girl.The thin
