Fiona Forger returned to the company, changed into formal office attire, and then proceeded to the meeting room, almost forgetting that Emma Waderson had mentioned two days ago about wanting to hold a board of directors meeting today.When Fiona Forger entered the meeting room, everyone had already gathered except for her. She was supposed to be the chairperson of the meeting, but Emma Waderson took the lead in this meeting.Everything was similar to what Emma Waderson had previously told her. The documents presented showed that Hayden Forger had unilaterally changed suppliers to secure a significant benefit for each shareholder. Hayden Forger became visibly agitated, directly confronting Fiona Forger by pounding the table and loudly stating that he was not only the CEO but also her father, and after decades of loyal service to Forger Corporation, she showed no respect for him over such a trivial matter. He no longer wanted to continue working for this company.Previously, he dismisse
"Are you home?" The low voice of the man came through on the other end."Yeah." She replied softly."Which home?""My home." She answered with a hint of annoyance. Did he expect her to go back to his place? She responded with a bit of resentment.Hearing her irritated tone, Damian Desmond smiled faintly. "Is something wrong with you?"She's already grown up, yet still doesn't know how to care for herself. Truly no different from a child, Mr. Desmond thought, unaware that in the future, including Puddy Forger, he would have to take care of two "children.""No." Fiona Forger replied with just one word. Remembering what happened last night, she still felt embarrassed, especially about her own... situation stuck on his thigh...That situation was truly unimaginable. She didn't even know if the bedsheet and blanket had been changed...But why was she thinking so much about it? It's not like she wanted to go to his house to sleep. He forced her..."Can you attend the dinner party tomorrow e
Men don't want to provoke an angry boss, and women, with their psychological baggage of being unable to eat correctly, tend to be acidic in their remarks. They didn't want to greet Fiona Forger.Therefore, when Anna Desmond and other acquaintances in the business world greeted them and then left, Fiona Forger was happily comfortable, holding Angela Zylian's hand and heading towards the food area.She hadn't eaten anything the whole evening, and she was starving! It was said that the food at these parties came from the most high-end restaurants. It would be a real shame not to eat."CEO Forger, should we go and greet CEO Desmond?" Angela Zylian gently tugged Fiona Forger's arm as a reminder.Fiona Forger's steps suddenly halted as she looked towards Damian Desmond standing amidst the crowd. He also looked in her direction, and their gazes met mid-air.Amidst the melodious music and the flickering lights of numerous lamps in the grand hall, the two stood not too far apart, gazing at eac
Damian Desmond didn't answer and continued pulling her hand towards the parking lot."So, who is it? If you don't tell me, I won't go," Fiona Forger pouted, refusing to move from her spot. Throw a tantrum with him?!"If you want to know, why don't you ask your siblings?" He didn't know much about the Forger family affairs and didn't want to get involved, but he knew that Fiona's relationship with Jacky Forger and Liliana Forger wasn't good; in fact, it was pretty bad. He used to ignore it because it didn't concern him, but now, their future and relationship were no longer the same, so he wanted to know everything related to her.Divorcing his first wife and marrying his second, having children... if he weren't valued even at home, then his reputation in the eyes of others would be even worse. But once Fiona Forger decided to have a relationship with him, he wouldn't allow anyone to look down on her. She couldn't choose who she was born to, it wasn't her fault, and she shouldn't be tre
Regarding Loona Richart's sarcastic remark, Alice didn't react much. After all, what she said was the truth; there was no need to refute it. "Loona Richart, don't underestimate me. The only thing you can rely on to confront me is your status and family background." Alice pursed her plump lips. "Unfortunately, Damian doesn't need that." "He doesn't need me, that's true. But he doesn't need you either. Take advantage of the remaining youth and find a respectable place to settle down. Don't dream of stepping into the Desmond family in this lifetime." Loona Richart spoke, stomping forcefully on her high heels, arrogantly walking away. What's so good about this cunning fox, Alice? She couldn't understand how someone as intelligent as Mrs. Sandra Desmond could accept her as her husband's mistress and keep her as a secretary for so long. She didn't believe that she hadn't heard any rumors. If it were her, she would have kicked Alice into the Indian Ocean for the sharks to devour. Alice ti
"Do you know how to feel pain?" Hearing her cry of pain, Damian Desmond relaxed the grip on her arm, lifted her chin, and followed the light to look at her tightly closed lips. The anger that had not yet subsided from being kissed by that wretched Jackson Hale ignited again. He lowered his head and captured those soft and wet lips.This sudden and forceful kiss frightened Fiona Forger. When she tried to react, someone else had already occupied her lips. Her hands were in chaos, punching and pushing, but they had no effect whatsoever.With their height difference, standing like this and kissing each other didn't feel entirely appropriate...In no time, the man embraced the petite girl's body. Her legs were off the ground, and she could only cling tightly to him with her hands that were initially punching and pushing.Fiona Forger didn't know how she was brought into the car, but when she regained consciousness, her clothes were messy, and the man had pinned her down on the genuine leat
Fiona Forger was furious, clutching her phone and immediately calling Jackson Hale, instructing him to handle the news and contact the Forger family home. But before she could utter two sentences, her father snatched the phone away."Consider that article as a pre-announcement to the media. Both of our families are in full agreement regarding this marriage," her father said, blocking any further discussion. He hung up the phone without giving Fiona a chance to speak. When she called back, no one answered. Finally, she received a text message from her mother, stating that her father had made the decision and she should refrain from provoking him.When did her father become so overbearing and manipulative? Did the betrayal of her brother and sister change her father's temperament to such an extent? And her mother too? Was she also siding with her father?Do they intend to force her into a marriage she's unwilling to accept?It was truly outrageous! Did they think she wouldn't dare to re
"Fiona, are you the type of person who would do something like this?' Jackson Hale calmly placed his teacup on the table and explained. He admitted that he liked her and didn't deny that he took advantage of the desire for marriage between their parents to his benefit; he truly despised releasing those photos to the media.However, if someone did something beneficial for him, he naturally enjoyed it."If not you, then who?" Fiona Forger couldn't believe his words at this moment."Fiona, sit down here." Her father's anger began to rise, and his voice became stern. Seeing this, her mother also sat down beside her father and secretly signaled to her with her eyes."I won't sit down. No matter what the newspapers say, I'm afraid I have to disagree." She looked at her father and spoke loudly."Fiona Forger!" Taylor Forger stood up from the sofa, not even needing his cane. He slammed the half-empty teacup on the ground, making a loud, clear sound."Your father and Jackson Hale have discusse
