Her plea lingered in his thoughts, implying that she wanted him to leave so she could talk to Norman Desmond alone."Do you have a car? I want to hitch a ride with you back home," Fiona Forger roughly guessed why she didn't want her eldest brother to enter the house. She was probably afraid he would see things he shouldn't see, so she remained firm, staring at her difficult older brother, and spoke up."I don't want to give you a ride," Damian Desmond didn't bother to look at him, "Give me the keys; open the door.""I'll open it myself," Fiona Forger tightly held the key in her palm, "I can open it on my own. You go ahead."Her repeated rejections only fueled his suspicions that she was hiding something; he even thought they were still living together. Just thinking about this ignited a fierce anger within him, and his tone grew colder. "If you stay, then open it.""I won't open it." Hearing his stern tone, she felt a bit submissive, her eyes becoming teary. "Based on what?"How could
"Just talking on the phone, was it necessary to shout like that? You startled me, and I almost dropped the water on my hand.""I already said I didn't want to listen, but you insisted on making me listen. What are you blaming me for now?"The conversation between the two echoed clearly in Damian Desmond's ears. The pitiful phone was thrown straight into the windshield a second later, declaring its death.The black car started its engine and disappeared quickly into the night."Norman Desmond, don't ever think about staying here overnight again." Fiona Forger said as she walked back to her room, holding a glass of water."And don't forget who has been supporting you all these years. Is saying so much for just one night's stay necessary?" The phone was bothering him, and sleeping on the uncomfortable sofa for the night added to his displeasure. Young master Norman naturally felt unhappy, scratching his head and looking down at the phone to see who the annoying person was calling him in
This is a crucial issue; she must know something, but her father won't let her speak, so she doesn't say anything.But marriage is a lifelong matter. How can she let others decide for her?Mrs. Olivia Forger looked at her daughter's delicate face and sighed, "I don't know the specifics, but ever since Jacky Forger left the Forger Corporation until now, Damian Desmond has been involved. Your father transferred 10% of the company's shares to Damian Desmond and gave those shares to Jacky. Can you imagine how furious your father was when he found out? How can he accept him as the son-in-law of the Forger family?"Fiona Forger listened with her mouth agape. How could she be completely unaware of all this?Could it be that her father's recent change in attitude was because he believed Damian Desmond was still scheming with the eldest brother?What deep grudge does the eldest brother have against her father? Why would Damian Desmond help the eldest brothe
After contemplating, he reluctantly picked up his phone and logged into the group chat. The number of comments had already exceeded 1000, and as soon as the group members saw him online, they immediately fell silent.He casually glanced through a few comments, but his expression grew darker with each one. Without leaving words, he logged out directly, throwing his phone onto the sofa before heading for a shower.The appearance of the Big Boss for only a second and then withdrawing caused endless sighs within the group. Who was the traitor that had betrayed them? Since the group's establishment, except that night when the Boss randomly revealed himself for a few seconds, he had never appeared again. That's why they boldly dared to discuss the Boss's private affairs. Little did they expect that today they would run into a hornet's nest.And among them, the one who wanted to bang their head against the wall the most was the chief secretary, Anna Desmond, who happened to be in the room ne
"Fiona, is there anything wrong with Jackson Hale's family? If there is, tell him to fix it until you're satisfied," Mrs Sandra Hale had already considered her as a future daughter-in-law; why would she be interested in adopting a foster child?"He's perfect." Fiona didn't know if there was anything wrong with Jackson Hale, but did that mean she should love a good man? "It's because I'm not good enough.""What are you saying?" Mrs. Sandra Hale took hold of her tiny hand, her gaze serious. "Fiona, I've liked you for a long time, but I didn't have the chance to match you with Jackson Hale."How could that be? Fiona Forger couldn't believe she could hear such hot news from Mrs Sandra Hale's mouth. Had she liked her all along? What did she have for her to like? She wasn't a prestigious young lady nor a powerful woman in the business world."That year, Norman Desmond, that little brat, abandoned you, which wasn't right, but later on, you made the eldest grandson of the Desmond family climb
The man looked at the girl, leaning against the wall, arms crossed in front of her chest as if genuinely wanting to hear her explanation."This... I was supposed to have dinner with my mother tonight, but I happened to meet him. He said it's his birthday today, so he invited me and my mother to have dinner..." With a pitiful look in her eyes, Fiona Forger felt a mixture of fear and unease in her heart. She wanted to use a "well-intentioned lie," but she didn't dare. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she spoke directly, "Going out to dinner with my mother was just an excuse to deceive him. The truth is, I went to the Hale family's house for dinner. But it really is Ken's birthday today. My mother didn't let me go out for the past few days. If it weren't for buying a birthday gift for him, my mother wouldn't have allowed me to take a step outside. After buying the gift, Ken said he wanted to treat me to dinner, but I didn't expect him to bring me home...""Do you know what you did
"Isn't the instant noodles tasty?" She took a bite of french fries while playing with her phone."Do you want some?" He lifted his fork."No." They had already eaten a lot at the Hale household earlier, but women always had room for snacks, even when complete. So she finished her cherries and continued eating the french fries.The boss continued eating his bland noodles, forgetting to add salt because he was too busy frying the fries for her. It pained him that even though he was skilled, he regretted doing something unfamiliar. The boss was total and sat next to the girl who was still enjoying her fries and watching cartoons, preparing to eat her as a late-night snack. But she was too absorbed in eating and playing to even glance at him.Unable to tolerate being ignored by the fries and cartoons, the boss frowned, snatched her phone, and turned it off, leaving Miss Forger disappointed, "There's only a few minutes left!""What's so interesting about those nutrition-less things?" If it
Fiona Forger woke up to find that it was almost noon. She had stayed awake because of hunger. The man who had tortured her all night was probably already gone to work. She stepped barefoot out of bed, intending to check the refrigerator for something to eat.Just a few steps away, she noticed the man had finished changing clothes and entered the room. Seeing her barefoot on the floor, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Why aren't you wearing slippers?"The bedroom floor had no carpet, and he was concerned that she might feel cold. "I was too hungry and forgot," she replied softly.The man walked over to her and lifted the still half-asleep girl onto the bed, "Wash your face and change clothes; we'll go out to eat.""But I'm starving. Can I have a glass of milk first?" She sat on the edge of the bed, looking pitiful.Mr Desmond looked at her with pity and reluctantly turned to warm up the milk. He didn't mind doing such things for her...Five minutes later, when Fiona Forger finished was
