"Not this again..." Waverly turned her face away. Bellamy couldn't continue further, so he changed the subject. "What do you want to eat for dinner?" Waverly thought for a moment and looked at him, saying, "Bellamy, I don't want to stay in the President's Mansion tonight. I will be staying with Yasmine at a hotel. Since I'm going back tomorrow, I have to stay with them, anyway." "Joseph will also be leaving with Yasmine, right?" Bellamy asked as he frowned. "Most probably." Waverly smiled. "What's the matter? You felt great to humiliate him just now, but now you are worried?" "He is extremely arrogant and also extremely rude. His arrogance came from his heart, I can feel it. I really don't like him." Bellamy openly expressed his thoughts. Waverly shrugged. "Most of the time, he would only be targeting me and wouldn't dare to do anything to me. After all, I have you, my uncle, and Ronaldo to back me up. Don't worry." "Alright, back to our topic.
Waverly rubbed her belly and glanced at the time. "It's almost nine o'clock." "Bellamy..." "Waverly..." The two of them spoke at the same time. Waverly was afraid that Bellamy would ask her to stay. She didn't want to refuse, but if she stayed, Joseph might do something to her. Now that she had turned off her phone, Joseph must be furious. She had to take care of it. So, she spoke first, "I have to go." Bellamy stared at her deeply for a long time before saying, "Call me when you've arranged your schedule. I'll see you off tomorrow." "No. Don't see me off tomorrow," Waverly refused. She didn't want him to witness her embarrassment and reluctance. She wanted to deal with it alone. "Why not?" Bellamy asked, "I'll send you. It won't take much time." "I'll be more reluctant to leave you," Waverly replied with a wry smile. "Then don't leave," Bellamy brought up the matter again. Waverly did not speak. She smiled a
"Joseph, you are so childish!" Waverly scolded angrily. "I'm childish? Fine, let's do something mature then!" A cold gaze flashed through Joseph's eyes, and he tore off her clothes in the next moment. Without a second of doubt, he had directly overpowered her. Waverly's entire body trembled because of the pain. And she struggled desperately to escape. However, his weight was as heavy as a mountain and she couldn't move at all. She could only bear it. Feeling helpless and furious, she wanted to bite his neck. But Joseph grabbed her face as if he knew what she was going to do. Then, Waverly tried to bite his hand but failed. After more than ten minutes, he got what he wanted, thus he sat up and switched on the lights. Meanwhile, Waverly's heart was ranging in burning anger. Having been freed from his grasp, she lunged forward to attack his neck once again. Joseph dodged to a side, and she seized the chance to bite him on the shoulder. He lo
The next day, someone knocked on the door. Waverly was very tired after what happened the night before, and she didn't want to get up at all. She turned over and got back to sleep. After a while. The door was opened. "Waverly, are you crazy? There are so many flowers in the room! Do you think you are a flower fairy? Are you a worm?" Yasmine's voice was sharp as she exclaimed. Waverly had no choice but to open her eyes. She sat up and looked at Yasmine with dark circles under her eyes. Yasmine paused upon seeing her tired expression. "Your hair... So you've been wearing a wig all this while?" "Why do you have the room card to my room?" Waverly asked and got up from the bed wearily. "I got it from the receptionist. Look at the time! It's getting late and you're still sleeping. Do you really think you're still Mrs. President?" Yasmine chided sarcastically. "If I still think I'm Mrs. President, I wouldn't get up so late." Waverly then w
"Haha! Why? Are you annoyed?" Yasmine continued to provoke Waverly. "From this issue, it proves that he truly values the cooperation with Madam Lenny. Since you and Bellamy have cooperated with each other, both of you would have to bear the consequences together," Waverly replied in a low voice. "Are you cursing me?" Yasmine said sourly. "I'm saying it as a reminder. I can't control your thoughts. So, are we staying here for the time being?" "You wish! We'll head back in the afternoon. Bellamy invited me for lunch. We'll get going now," Yasmine spoke happily and then hung up the phone. At this moment, Waverly's eyes were red. The situation felt to her like she was jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. Just when Waverly thought the situation couldn't deteriorate any further, it had worsened. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then, she made a phone call to Joseph. He answered the phone not long after. "What's the matte
"That's not true. Not everyone wants to only be friends with people who are beneficial to them." "I don't mean benefit in terms of money. There can be benefits such as companionship and sincerity, right?" Waverly said pessimistically. "Then that's not a benefit. It's the effort you put into the relationship." Waverly smiled and replied, "Tell me, how many friends you made in primary school are you still staying in touch with, especially after they all went to different high schools? As for the friends in college, how many would you stay in contact with if they don't work in the same city? If you were to borrow money from them, how much would they offer?" "I once asked a friend, and she immediately lent money to me," Hayley argued. Waverly's smile widened. "You are working for the President, and you have direct contact with him. Who wouldn't see you as beneficial to them?" When Hayley heard this, she frowned. "Benefits? Is that what's left between eve
"She is just a child," Waverly reasoned. "And that's why she's still immature. You know that I don't like immature people, especially those who act like fools in front of me," Joseph hinted. "Yes." Then, Waverly noticed that Hayley hadn't left yet. She took five hundred dollars from her bag and handed it to Hayley, urging, "Go ahead and buy whatever you want." "Madam, I'm worried about you," Hayley said worriedly. "Since Joseph showed up here, it means this place is surrounded by his people. What can you do here? Besides, I will have to face him when I go back anyway. I know what I should do. Just listen to me," Waverly lowered her voice as she spoke and put the money into Hayley's hands. "Should I inform the President? This is A Country's territory anyway," Hayley said. "Did you forget what I've told you? Don't tell Bellamy anything about me, and don't trouble him either," Waverly reminded her solemnly. Hayley noticed that Waverly was ge
Waverly lowered her eyes to hide her true emotions. Joseph's words and actions were inscrutable. One could only comprehend half of his words. "How did you do it? I didn't play any role in this negotiation. Moreover, if you gave me the title of Peace Lady, Madam Lenny would be devastated," Waverly rationally analyzed. "What do you think I hired so many navies to keep an eye on the Harington family for? I have negotiated with Ronaldo. Although Ronaldo is not a very smart person, he is not foolish either. Some people will eventually tell him about the stakes in it. Even if Bellamy doesn't pursue it, people would still think that Gollin was the one who framed the Mccarthy family and the Mccarthy family can hold him accountable for it. I decided not to look into it and used it as my bargaining chip in exchange for your Madam Lenny," Joseph explained. "Why didn't you continue the investigation? If you take out Gollin, you will be one step closer to ascending the
