Hearing him say that, Mrs. Sandra Desmond finally felt at ease.As the dinner progressed, the atmosphere became more cheerful just as they were almost done with the meal, two unexpected guests entered, surprising everyone.It was Mr. Peter Desmond and Alice!Meeting under such circumstances made it a bit awkward, especially for Alice. Damian Desmond nodded at his father in greeting and then returned to Ben to continue their interrupted conversation. Mrs. Sandra Desmond politely greeted them with a nod.Mr. Peter Desmond squinted as he looked at them, and the more he looked, the more it felt like a family gathering dinner. But who was that foreign man? Why had he never met him before?Well, joking aside, if he was related to his family, he was also associated with him somehow. What did it have to do with the blue-eyed blonde man?"Peter, let's go over there," Alice said, grabbing his arm when she noticed him gazing at them.It had been long since they had gone out for a meal together,
This restaurant is where upper-class people like to gather, making it hard to avoid meeting acquaintances.She and her son had a dinner reservation here tonight, but their table was on the upper floor. While eating, she received a message from a friend asking her to come downstairs to watch an entertaining show. However, when she arrived downstairs, the leading actor had already left.Feeling a bit disappointed for receiving the message late and missing the excellent performance, little did she know that there was still another interesting show behind her. It was the scene of Mr. Desmond, the playboy, leaving his beautiful wife alone and going alone. They had just been married briefly; how could he get bored so soon?But thinking back, she still felt sorry for the young girl standing before her. Using beauty to captivate someone, using beauty to win favor, how could that last? Especially with a man who always had butterflies buzzing around like Mr. Peter Desmond. He never lacked beaut
Damian Desmond was taken aback for a second, then immediately understood that Taylor Forger must be trying to control Wilma Bonet, and that's why he took back the 30% ownership.But what could Wilma Bonet do even if she gained 30% ownership? If it weren't for Taylor Forger's refusal, the Forger Group would easily fall into the hands of Jacky Forger, and then dealing with Wilma Bonet would be a piece of cake for him. She wouldn't stand a chance against him.But it seemed that Taylor Forger would find it hard to forgive Jacky Forger in this lifetime."Your father probably just wants to secure his position as the chairman. Nobody can shake him off," Damian Desmond said as he ran his fingers through her hair.Taylor Forger probably didn't want Fiona to know about Wilma Bonet's identity and certainly did not let Mrs. Olivia Forger find out either.But it seemed that this girl, Wilma Bonet, couldn't be easily satisfied."But your dad said he would find a talented person to manage the compan
"Everyone has their own business," Fiona Forger sat on the bed. "Mom, when Aunt Bonet visited today, please don't tell Dad about it. Otherwise, he'll skin me alive.""Why is that?" Mrs. Olivia Forger asked."I'll have to ask Dad to know the reason. And I think he probably wouldn't tell you if he didn't tell me. But I know you're clever, and you might find a way to get him to talk. Just don't let it slip that I told Aunt Bonet to come up here," Fiona advised.Mrs. Olivia Forger nodded. As she lay down after taking her medicine, she couldn't sleep and kept thinking about her daughter's words. She tried to figure out why Taylor Forger didn't let her meet Naccy Bonet.o0oAt the construction site of the second phase of the new island project, Damian Desmond and Jacky Forger were standing in front of the boat. Behind them, a group of employees responsible for reporting the project's progress was waiting. Half an hour later, Damian Desmond signaled for them to step back, leaving only himsel
Damian Desmond shrugged, "I don't know.""You two were together the whole afternoon, and now you say you don't know? What did you guys talk about? It can't just be drinking away sorrows, right?""He didn't say anything, just drank all the rare bottles of wine I've been keeping for years." He had to get those back later. He originally wanted to keep them for occasional romantic nights with his wife on the boat, but who would have thought that guy would finish them all?Although there was a little mishap during the birthday night at sea, there wouldn't have been any problem if they hadn't done it on the boat."So, what do we do now?"The plan to enjoy a romantic night on the boat with him had now been ruined because of the presence of the eldest brother. How could there be a romantic night with him still on the ship?"Just leave him here. Will we throw him into the sea for the sharks to eat?"But Mr. Desmond overestimated himself, especially when carrying an unconscious man due to alcoh
"Speaking of which, Fiona Forger did call her, but CEO Desmond was also present here. Nothing happened between them; they just spent one night on the boat together, that's all," Jacky Forger listened, and his lips slightly curled up. He was sure that Damian Desmond called her, but she avoided any close relationship with him. Was she afraid he would cling to her again and not let go?Getting up from the sofa, a few rays of the early sun shone through the glass window, making him look even taller and angelic, causing others to look up at him from afar. After gazing at her for a while, he spoke, "Overtime? How much does your company pay for Overtime? I'll pay you ten times more shortly."Without affection, he tossed out that statement and bent over to pick up the crumpled shirt on the sofa. He then walked straight into the bathroom inside the yacht. His whole body reeked of alcohol, and even he couldn't bear it.Angela Zylians watched the man disappear before her eyes, feeling a long-los
"Kidding? Zachary, do I still need to chase girls?" Zachary Desmond pouted.He was annoyed with those girls clinging to him, so he didn't want to pursue them actively."Be careful not to play too much, or your father will lock all your credit cards. Then you'll have to come to me, the poor brother, for help.""Is that so, Norman? You refused me when I asked to borrow money before the engagement fiasco." Zachary Desmond replied with a displeased expression. After all, he was also a young master of the Desmond family; how could he indulge himself to such an extent?"That's because from now on, I have to save money for my wedding. So, it's better to be kind to me now so that you won't say you don't owe me any brotherly love later on.""Wedding expenses? The distinguished Norman Desmond is afraid he won't have enough money for his wedding?" But to be fair, he heard that when their parents divorced, all the family assets were transferred to his older cousin, while some real estate was give
The girl entered, placed the tray on the tea table, and then started pouring water into the copper kettle to heat it before setting out the other utensils. Her movements were very skillful, from boiling the water, warming the teapot with hot water, rinsing the tea, washing the cups, to brewing the tea. Her techniques were swift and precise. When everything was ready, she extended her hand, looked at everyone, and said, "Please enjoy the tea."While the young ones were savoring the tea, the two older men were engaged in a lively conversation. The conversation lasted almost two hours before the grandmaster once again chose the dates for their engagements. Fiona Forger's engagement was set for about a month later, while Chris Desmond and Ember Canen would get married two months after that.Preparing for two weddings within three months might have been rushed and exhausting for ordinary families. Still, it was merely a matter of issuing orders for the Desmond family, and everything would
