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
Mrs. Olivia Forger has left, and now only two men face each other in the spacious living room. "Do you want to sit down and talk?" Damian Desmond didn't wait for an invitation; he poured himself a cup of tea. "Damian Desmond, Fiona will never marry you. You can give up hope," Taylor Forger, despite being a seasoned businessman, had regained his composure after a burst of anger earlier. He also sat down, his hands gripping a cane as he stared fiercely at the man casually sipping tea. This young man remained remarkably calm even when faced with such an intense situation. "Is it because I transferred the shares held by the Forger Corporation to Jacky Forger?" With one hand delicately holding the teacup, the other casually resting on the armrest, he seemed at ease, as if he were in his own home. "Do you think it's such a trivial matter that I don't need to know?" This 10% of shares meant nothing to Damian Desmond, but they were highly significant for Taylor Forger. If Jacky Forger co
Puddy still understands his mother very well. Even if something happens, she will inform him beforehand, so he doesn't need to worry. But since this afternoon, there has only been one message, and after that, there has been no way to contact her. How can he not worry? It's already late, and it's raining heavily again... "I'll call the Forger's house and ask," Cherry Desmond said, handing a glass of milk to the little boy and picking up the phone. The result was that Miss Forger wasn't there, so she took the risk and called her eldest brother. The phone rang for a long time without anyone answering. She kept calling incessantly, and while waiting for the other person to answer, Puddy's worried face turned into anger. His small head leaned closer to listen... If that lousy guy hides his mother again, he will hold him accountable and won't let him go. Finally, someone answered the call... "What's the matter?" The man's voice on the other end was deep and easy to hear. This was the fir
