Waverly frowned. She was fun to toy with? Those words did not seem to be a compliment. He lowered his head and continued to type on his keyboard. Once in his youth, he had gone to the countryside to play. There had been a competition to see who could drive the cow to the finishing line first. Some of the cows would walk slowly, while others would walk even slower. Some of them had even stopped to eat some grass in the middle of the competition. When he pulled his cow to one side, the cow would go in the opposite direction. His cow was so stubborn that he couldn't drag it along no matter how hard he tried. Then, he had an idea and he extended the rope on the cow's nose. If he wanted to go South, he would deliberately pull the cow towards the North, causing the stubborn cow to head south. As soon as he let go of it, the cow would run fast. He felt that Waverly was like the cow, and, to some extent, she was even more stubborn tha
"If you can stop holding a grudge against me, I can do the same thing too. Waverly, could you do that?" Joseph asked meaningfully, looking at her with passionate eyes. Waverly had no idea what he meant by that sentence. Was he giving her a hint, a warning, or was he just plainly mocking her? She always felt that there were many emotions in his eyes that she wasn't able to decipher. She failed to answer him but instead looked at the door and changed the subject, "Why isn't the food here yet? I'm so hungry that my stomach hurts." He smirked and made a phone call, "Serve the dishes in three minutes or all of you will be fired and kicked out of the house." Waverly frowned, "If you become the emperor, you will also be a tyrant." "Do you think that Joshua and Yadriel are loyal to me?" he asked. Waverly nodded, "They are indeed incredibly loyal to you." "It's not just them. Ninety percent of my subordinates are extremely loyal to me. If I were to ask
Yadriel pursed his lips and stayed silent. Waverly smiled and looked at the time. If she were to head back at the moment, half an hour would definitely pass by the time she got to her room. She folded and broke the stem of a fully bloomed rose, saying, "I like roses, but if I were to pick them from where they initially grew, what do you think the result would be?" Yadriel glanced at the flower in Waverly's hands and said, "As long as you take good care of them and cultivate them carefully, even a small branch will flourish and sprout countless branches." Waverly was stunned for a moment. She had originally thought his answer would be that the rose would wither even faster. She looked at Yadriel and said, "You are quite a sweet-talker, attentive and good at observing people. No wonder you've been placed in such an important position by Joseph." "It's getting late. Madam should go back now. If you haven't had enough time to walk around, you could continue to
"Even after 5 years of marriage, I'm still a virgin. That's my answer to your question." Satisfied with her answer, Joseph's gaze became softer. As he looked as if he was bathed in the light, he said, "Rest then." Without hesitation, Waverly climbed onto the bed with her back facing him. Joseph stood still beside the bed. He stood there for exactly ten minutes. She had no idea the reason behind his actions and she chose to no longer look back at him as well. Most of the time, curiosity killed the cat. Turning around, Joseph went towards the door, turned off the lights, went out, and closed the door behind him. Waverly sat up. She was a little worried that Joseph would deploy some forces to harm Bellamy, so her heart was not at ease. She got up from the bed and quietly cracked the door open. There were no guards outside, so she walked out. Although she had been here a few times, she had always been led around by someone.
"Yadriel, let her go," Joshua said as he returned from outside. "You're going to go against his wishes again?" Yadriel frowned. "I'll take responsibility for all of this, so let her out," Joshua said. Yadriel pondered for a moment and frowned. However, he still stood aside. Seeing this, his men also stood aside. Waverly rushed out. However, after Waverly got out, she had no idea where she should go. The sound of gunshots had long disappeared and she was not familiar with the place. Even if she wanted to escape, how could Joshua let her go as she wished? She had to calm down. Although someone had just been killed, it was useless for her to check the victim's identity. What Waverly should do at the moment was to tell Bellamy that Joseph was going to kill him in the cooking competition and to let him be wary of Joseph's conspiracy and stop him. "What's wrong? Aren't you going out? Why aren't you leaving?" Joshua asked.
Joseph was furious, "If you are going to be like this the whole night, I'll be happy to accompany you." His words were firm and determined, making no one be able to refuse him. His aura was also incredibly domineering. Waverly felt powerless. Her circumstances at the moment were as if she had not eaten in days, and a piece of bread had appeared in front of her. However, she was afraid that the bread contained poison, so she hesitated to eat it! She still had many tasks to accomplish and she could not die just yet. Pride would suddenly become insignificant to her once he became stubborn enough. Generally speaking, in order to have such a mindset, one needed to go through multiple setbacks. Otherwise, there would always be a wrong judgment of the environment and the wrong judgment of oneself. She sighed, and the weight of her body sagged on him. She said, "If you want to be a king, with your talent, there are many ways you can succeed. You don't need t
Waverly was confused. Judging by Madam Lenny's tone, nothing bad should have happened. She ate breakfast. After that, a driver sent her back. The driver who sent her wasn't Joshua, nor was it Yadriel. but someone Waverly had never seen before. This man stayed quiet as he quietly sent Waverly to the small courtyard next to the lake, and quietly left. Waverly thought about Hayley's departure from the courtyard, and instantly felt the loneliness surrounding her. She was about to open the door. "Woof!" The puppy ran out of the room and barked at Waverly at the door. She was incredibly taken aback by its appearance. She remembered that she had given the dog to Hayley, so why had it suddenly appeared again? Did Hayley return the dog back to her? "Madam," Hayley appeared at the door and cried. Waverly frowned, "Were you able to find the person I've asked you to look for?" "I reported to the President. He told me that Hansen was
"Waverly, as long as you want to, we can always get married again," Bellamy said in a deep voice. Waverly failed to believe him, "How could we get married again? My video has been spread everywhere already. A lot of people have already seen it, and there's no undoing that. The only solution to the problem is to use a time machine, but those don't exist, for if they did, people from the future would have travelled to our era a long time ago." "As long as we get the approval of the public, that's enough. As long as the public supports us to be together, everything will be fine," Bellamy said firmly. "Why will the public support us being together? You know, those videos seem real enough although they're fake. If I'm with you, how will people view you and what will people say about you? Beckham will definitely take the opportunity to spread rumors then. It'd be too dangerous, so let's not do it," Waverly refused. "It's okay. For the public, these matters are just me
