'I do not want.' She bit her lip in protest. That's brave! Fiona Forger silently praised herself.'Fiona Forger, how much do you think you understand Jackson Hale? For the cooperation benefits from the marketplace, understand how much. I tell you to refuse, refuse.' His tone was rigorous, with a sense of not being rejected by others.'Indeed, I don't know much about the market, but today not only Mr. Ken and I talked, but the company's two directors were also there; we reached a preliminary agreement; needn't you tell me to resist, I can resist.'Fiona Forger bit her lip, hesitantly uttering the longest sentence she'd known Damian Desmond until now.And according to her words, his face was getting increasingly unsightly, but she didn't say anything wrong. She doesn't have to be afraid at all! She said that to herself, but as soon as she said it, Fiona Forger was still so nervous that she moved close to the car door, keeping as far away as possible from him.Haizz wants to open the car
With their decades of experience in the market, they expected a situation different from today.Although Starstone's Union General came to them first and had already reached an agreement, now that Desmond Corporation had stepped in, they could only choose Starstone if they had to choose a side to offend.In the business world of Singapore, which does not consider the Desmond family as the central pillar, the influence of the Desmond Group is not something they can resist.Damian Desmond's face remained calm; to the politeness of the two directors, he did not seem to care much, 'My time is limited.''We know, Mr. Desmond, this side, please.' Director Lautner hurried forward to lead the way.Damian Desmond's sharp gaze swept towards Jackson Hale, looked directly into the other's eyes for a second, then turned his head and looked at Fiona Forger, who hadn't said a word, CEO Forger, didn't he go?'Fiona Forger gulped, glancing briefly at Jackson Hale, who returned her gaze with a faint sm
What? Damian Desmond says he's not worthy of her? What kind of joke is that?The true grandson of the Desmond family, the head of the Desmond Corporation, how could he not be worthy of such a petty Fiona Forger as you? If you want to say worthy or not, it must be Fiona Forger that she is not worthy of others. She was very generous, just didn't understand why Damian Desmond said that.Fiona Forger was momentarily dumbfounded, unable to say a word.'Is that right?' Damian Desmond stood up, his tall body carrying an indescribable sense of oppression took a step forward, as if he couldn't hear her answer.'Not.' Fiona Forger, unable to withstand his momentum, hurriedly took two steps back, her head lowered, and uttered one word in a voice so low that only she could hear.But the man opposite didn't seem to care what her answer was, his face darkened next to her and then like a wind, disappeared behind the door leaving only a resounding slamming sound resounded, threatening Fiona Forger's
A week later, Fiona Forger was told by her father to come home for dinner.Probably because the company has resolved, her father's mood is much better, with a smile on his face.'Fiona Forger, these past few days have been very hard for you. Eat a little more.' Taylor Forger personally picks up food for her daughter.'Husband, you also eat a little more.' Mrs. Helia Forger also took food for Taylor Forger, kindly said.'Dad, when are you coming back to the company?' Fiona Forger doesn't have the heart to eat rice, her father's spirit is very good today, now she just wants to drop this burden in the middle of the road and continue her life of leisure, even if it's back to Melbourne. .It's not that she doesn't have the will to build a great career, but because Fiona Forger knows herself, she is not the type of person who has the ability to manage or do something.From childhood to adulthood, her aspirations were not great, just reluctant to study until graduate college, then move out o
Jacky Forger is gone, and Mrs. Helia Forger was also very unkind to throw her daughter away, 'Fiona Forger, You have something to negotiate with Mr. Desmond, right? Now is the most convenient time. I go first.'Fiona Forger wanted to chase after her mother, but Mr. Desmond did not go any further; he calmly walked up to her, threw back a sentence: 'Get coffee,' then turned around to return to the restaurant.Fiona Forger glared at the tall figure of the man; hm, could she wave her hand and leave?Can't, she doesn't dare!How, say, Boss Desmond is also the biggest creditor of Forger Corporation today. If she knows what, it's best not to anger him. Come on, drink coffee, drink coffee!Who would have thought that a busy person like Boss Desmond would have time to drink afternoon tea with Fiona Forger?Sitting down, Damian Desmond took off his vest, slipped it on the chair's armrest, then unbuttoned his sleeve and flipped it up twice to reveal his strong arm
'Why do you know that?' Fiona Forger glared at him.'Does he have any conditions to help you?' This is what he most wanted to know.Fiona Forger remembered Damian Desmond's words that day, and he wanted her to give him a wedding, then calmed down.'Is it conditional? What is it?' Norman Desmond got off the bed and was about to walk towards her when Fiona Forger hastily stopped him, 'Stop, don't come over here.'She feared he would make fun of her if she wanted to pull on her bathrobe.'OK.,' Norman Desmond raised his hands in surrender, 'I stand here. Tell me, what's your condition?''Mr. Desmond...' Fiona Forger thought about it for a moment but decided to tell the truth because she wondered about it too, '...want me to pay him a wedding.''You mean he wants you to marry him?' Norman Desmond touched his chin as if thinking.That year, his brother did not pursue the story of Fiona Forger's annulment, but now he also wants to marry her, probabl
With Boss Desmond in the back, if the business of Forger Corporation can't grow even more vital, Miss Forger needs to learn how to take advantage of resources.She said it so clearly; why even ask her opinion?'The specific implementation plan will wait until next Monday to meet with the human resources department and then decide.' Damian Desmond finally spoke up, clearly stating that this meeting was ending.The two experts quickly cleaned up the documents on the table. Then they left, Emma Waderson also followed them, but before leaving, she looked at Fiona Forger with a smile, saying that in a day or two, when she was free, she would invite her and Jacky Forger to have dinner.She nodded politely even though she was thinking in her heart; the odds of her brother sharing a meal with her compared to winning the jackpot were even lower.Only two people were momentarily left in the presidential room; Damian Desmond remained in the same sitting position, looki
Ever since a strange man saw her wearing a swimsuit, she didn't dare to wear it again, even though she later learned that he was Norman's brother.Because she went to the pool, she couldn't help but put on her swimsuit again, but because she didn't like physical contact with strangers, even if the other person was also feminine, she tried to learn how to swim for a month. If it still doesn't work out, it's definitely for the swimming teacher to quit his job and practice swimming alone.In July of that year, the weather was so hot that no one wanted to go out; Norman Desmond called her and said that she had made an appointment with a group of friends to come to the swimming house, asking if she wanted to go and play.At that time, Norman Desmond had gone to college, and his friends were also students; Fiona Forger also knew a few people, thinking there was nothing to do, so she accepted.Arriving at the Desmond family's house, she saw Norman Desmond's friends play
"What?" She opened her eyes and turned around, her clear gaze meeting his deep one."I'm sorry. And... thank you.""I love you."Between them, there was no need for words like "sorry" and "thank you.""I love you too." His words had barely finished when his warm lips sealed hers, and in his heart, he silently vowed to love her even more, erasing any lingering hurt and scars she had endured.o0oOn their wedding night, though late, it finally arrived.This was destined to be a gentle and dreamy night, a night he had been waiting for so long.He was careful and tender to the extreme when treating this girl he loved and cherished.And she, her restless heart, couldn't hide her anticipation.The water in the bathtub rippled incessantly due to their late-night intimate combination.In the warm bedroom, the curtain lightly swayed in the night breeze."Still hurting?"He held her and pityingly kissed her sweat-drenched long hair.Ember Canen shook her head, her small, blushing face brimming
"Yes." Brad reached into his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, and handed it to him."You can go back now. Please help me lock up on your way." Holding the pack of cigarettes, he pulled one out and lit it."Alright." Brad knew that, at this moment, his boss didn't want to be disturbed by anyone. The mess in the office could only be cleaned up by the cleaning staff tomorrow.He silently left, casually closing the office door behind him.Chris Desmond picked up his mobile phone, now turned off due to the earlier throw. With a cigarette in his mouth, he walked to the window and looked down at the mesmerizing night scene below. However, he had no mood to appreciate it.When the call connected, he exhaled a puff of smoke and decisively said, "Immediately arrange for someone to go to Malaysia. I want to know her exact location within two hours."They couldn't hide her away like this, preventing him from meeting her. If there were any issues or requests, they should tell him. He would d
The whole family came to the house only to leave empty-handed. In the end, everyone went their own way.Originally, Damian Desmond intended to take both mother and child home before heading to the company. However, both insisted that he go to the company, so he could only lead them along.Upon reaching the office on the top floor, Mr. Desmond went to work while Mrs. Desmond comfortably lay on the sofa reading a comic. Oh, not the 18+ type, but a parenting comic.Young Mr. Forger was sitting at the desk chatting with his father for a while, but he got bored and ran to the IT room on the 19th floor to play.The people in the IT room saw the young prince arrive and hurriedly welcomed him, offering various drinks and breakfast with care.After playing for more than two hours, young Mr. Forger finally got up lazily when the upper floor called to remind him to come to eat."Young prince, if the CEO finds out you're playing like this, we..."There would be no place to hide!But would they da
But family members, at least, should be notified, right?Speaking of family, she had yet to tell her mother. She should find an opportunity to talk to her.She reclined back onto the bed, tossing and turning for a while without being able to sleep.So, she picked up her phone again and went online. When Jacky Forger returned to the room and saw her still messing with her phone, he snatched it away and placed it on the bedside table."Go to sleep." "And you? Are you still busy?"It was almost midnight."Tomorrow, I have to go to Lyon for a trip. Do you want to come with me?"Liliana usually handled the matters over there, so now she suddenly mentioned her unsuitable physical condition as an excuse. He would still have to go there to take over the work, conveniently monitoring the ongoing projects' progress."Do you want to take me out?""If you say you want to, then sure."They were a married couple, yet he didn't have much free time for her. Their wedding had been delayed, and they di
She discreetly glanced at him and saw that he was still motionless, with an unpleasant and frightening expression on his face.If this had been in the past, seeing him like this would have made her legs tremble and unsteady. Even though they had been living together for a while, looking at him still sent shivers down her spine.Carefully approaching, she bent her back to lift the tea tray, but she heard him speak..."Come here!"These were just two simple words, yet they held a power that made others hesitate.She let out a sigh and obediently walked over. Before she even reached his side, he stood up and pulled her towards him. He used force to press her onto the sofa, and before she could react, his entire body was pressing down on her."Jacky..." Angela Zylian let out a cry. Her chin was held and turned towards him; his lips, carrying the faint scent of cigarettes, were pressed tightly against hers.She knew he was angry. From his actions, she could sense the invisible anger he was
As soon as Mrs. Robinson asked this question, Angela Zylian froze. She thought they knew the situation, but being asked like this caught her off guard. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond. Ultimately, under Mrs. Robinson's scrutinizing gaze, she decided to tell the truth. "Previously, we had a... romantic relationship...""And now?" Mrs. Robinson had already guessed the answer to this question. There was nothing new here. What she wanted to know was the current status.After all, they hadn't been living together before.A couple of times, Mrs. Robinson and Liliana had been to her brother's apartment, but they had never seen any trace of a girl."Now she's my wife. Any objections?" A familiar voice replaced Angela Zylian's answer.Jacky Forger had returned home at some point. Holding a document folder and a freshly removed vest, he stood at the living room entrance. His casual gaze swept over his mother and sister. "Why didn't you let me know before coming?"When his mother ha
One of the reasons Angela Zylian came to France was because Jacky needed an assistant. However, she could look for another job if he didn't need her."Don't you like this kind of life?" He set his coffee cup down, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then leisurely asked."Not necessarily."Being at home every day, taking care of household chores, and cooking for him made her happy, but there wasn't much to do with just the two of them at home.Most of her time was spent reading books or daydreaming, which was becoming monotonous."Let's talk about work later." He stood up and proposed a different idea to her. "If you're bored, consider furthering your studies."At any rate, going to school was better than going out to find a job where she might attract unwanted attention from other men. While there were undoubtedly men at school, the situation was much simpler overall.After CEO Forger approved her plan to continue her education, Angela Zylian eagerly focused on her career.Going back
In the RoomTiffany sat on the bed, swinging her legs back and forth as she looked at her mother, then glanced at her "sister," her small mouth sealed..."Brother-in-law said he's the father, so... who is the real father, after all?""Tiffany, come here." Mrs. Canen waved her hand, and Tiffany obediently hopped off the bed and ran to her.Taking a deep breath to regulate her emotions, Mrs. Canen looked at the little girl and asked..."Tiffany, if you had another father like your brother-in-law, would you like that?"Following her thoughts, the little girl nodded."Then let's start telling the old stories..."o0oThe heavy rain in Singapore had finally stopped, but November in Paris brought continuous drizzles.Though she wasn't going to work, Angela Zylian woke up early daily to prepare breakfast for him.Their married life had officially begun, and everything else felt new apart from becoming more familiar with each other's bodies.During this period, they were trying to adapt to eac
She admitted it with her mouth, causing a sharp, intense pain to surge through his chest, a pain so fierce that it numbed his heart and soul.No wonder every time she was stimulated to the point of regaining her memory, she looked at him with so much fear, tears streaming down her face...So, this was the truth.So, that wretched, damn person was him. Like a madman, he pounded his hands on the steering wheel several times, finally burying his face in it.Why did this foolish woman forgive him? Why couldn't she open her mouth and say something to him?Why was she so foolish?"Chris, I..."She reached out to him, but the man who had buried his face in the steering wheel suddenly lifted his head, looking at her with eyes blurred by her tears, staring at that familiar face...Why?Why was it him?He got out of the car and circled to help her open the car door, wordlessly pulling her out."Wait outside for a while."Saying that, without waiting for her reaction, he got back in the car, sta
