"Bell, take a good rest. It's cold nowadays. Remember to wear more layers. I'm going out later," Waverly said softly. "You should also wear more clothes yourself too. Don't run around outside. Remember to come back and drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself. You should take care of yourself while you are still young so that you won't suffer when you get old," he instructed. She nodded. This was just a video call. However, just by listening to a few words from him, she felt more energized. No matter how wronged, bullied, or sad she was, as long as he was healthy and safe, everything was worth it. She then answered him, "Alright, got it. I'll hang up for now." He hummed to reply and looked at her deeply. She smiled and hung up the call. She closed her eyes, and tears started to fall. She kept silent for a long time while she recalled the conversation in the video call many times. Even when Joseph wanted to kill her, she did not cry. However, Bellamy's
Waverly watched as Qianna rushed out. Soon, Joseph would definitely look for her for an explanation. However, it didn't seem that Qianna would betray her, thus it didn't matter as long as the goal was achieved. She just hoped that Qianna wouldn't be too dumb. She went back with Hayley, who looked at Waverly worriedly, "Madam, I heard that the most powerful people in the Mccarthy family are Thomson and Joseph, especially Joseph. His means are extremely vicious. If you offend him now, I'm afraid he won't let you go. After that, you will have a hard time in the Mccarthy family." Waverly raised the corners of her lips slightly, "I've never had a good life, so it doesn't matter if it's a bit more depressing. Let's go." "Are we going to your mother's house now? Madam, your clothes are a little too thin. Let's go back and get a thicker jacket first," Hayley suggested. She indeed wore too little, hence she nodded and went back to put on a winter coat. She asked Hayley t
Waverly's heart was beating fast as she looked at Joseph cautiously. She realized that what she had done had led her into his trap. She had a strong, bad feeling about this. "Are you trying to threaten me now?" She asked defensively. "Do I have to? Are you not afraid of me?" He spoke lightly as if he could figure her out. She was indeed afraid of him, and her fear was surging from within her heart. He had a sinister aura about him that could penetrate another's heart and made someone's blood run cold. However, she couldn't show that she was terrified of him. "You think too highly of yourself. If I was afraid of you, I wouldn't choose to be back here." She fixed her gaze on him. Joseph raised his eyebrows and applauded, "That's why I admire you for your courage." A waiter came serving their dishes, while looking anxious. Joseph started putting some raw meat onto the grill. Waverly still felt uneasy. What happened to
She knew that, but what she wanted wasn't to be with him. Even if the divorce didn't happen, she knew for a fact that she wasn't the one for Bellamy. Otherwise, they would have already slept together in the five years of their marriage. All she wanted was for him to be safe for the rest of his life. She would protect and care for him from afar, and the occasional video chat sessions were already sufficient for her. She smiled faintly, and her gaze was unreadable as she inquired, "Me and you, do you think things will work for us?" "Well, we're at least making progress, aren't we?" Joseph leaned back in his chair and retorted with a smile. It was more of a smirk, which was full of confidence. It was as if he knew the future, or even he could control the future. Waverly pursed her lips and did not say anything. She didn't know what to say either. Thus, she just continued eating her meal. He picked way too much meat for her, and it didn't take long for h
"If I killed him, Qianna would never let you go. I still don't want to see you die so soon, so of course I'll keep him alive. Are you at ease now? Please go back soon so that my man won't go crazy for losing sight of you," Joseph commented casually. Waverly looked around. Could it be that he had also purchased the same God's Eyes system as Jasper? Otherwise, how would he know everything? Anyway, it was a good thing to know that he hadn't killed Lenold. She breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still concerned. Qianna would never marry Beckham if Lenold was safe and sound. Joseph would've already thought things through before he made such a decision, but what did he have in mind? The more she thought about it, the more tortured she felt from playing this mind game with him. More importantly, she felt that she was under his control. Back at the Mccarthy family home. As expected, Joseph's subordinate was about to report to him when he lost
Without knowing how much time had passed, she finally woke up. She stared out the window, and the sky was still gloomy. She picked up her phone and realized that it was already 5.26 p.m. Joseph mentioned that he would take her with him that night, but he didn't tell her the address. She got up and freshened up before she headed outside. Hayley was playing with the dog. She smiled at Waverly and greeted, "Madam, I've prepared dinner, do you want to have dinner now?" She thought it would be great to eat something before heading to Joseph's, as she wouldn't have a great appetite by then. Hence, she accepted the offer, "Sure, thank you." "I'll bring the dishes out now," Hayley spoke as she walked into the kitchen, with the dog wagging its tail and following behind her. Waverly sat down at the dining table. Hayley served the dishes. "Hayley, are there any audio monitoring devices that won't be easily detected?" Waverly asked. "Most of th
"You had an accident and Lenold was with you. Qianna hated me for splitting her up with him, and even if you did nothing at all, she would still dislike me for that very reason. Marrying her off to Beckham was just some sort of compensation." "In fact, Beckham was not even interested in her. It was just a stalling tactic." "She owes me a favor after this. She knows that I want her to be with Lenold, and she's grateful for that." "Your grandfather favors Qianna, and he even gave her 10% of the Mccarthy family's stocks to her. Besides, she promised to transfer those stocks to me if I could stop her marriage to Beckham." "As for Lenold, if I set him up, he would definitely be upset and would do something like joining your side just to act against me, but I think he now knows just how insignificant he is to me. I can make or break him. He wouldn't have a second thought of going against me anymore," Joseph listed everything out to Waverly. She was silent as she
It was basically impossible to make Joseph fall in love with her. He was a heartless man. He was cold-blooded, merciless, bloodthirsty, and murderous. She would never waver his heart even if she did everything she could. Moreover, she was foolish in love. Otherwise, she wouldn't be waiting for an unrequited love for this long. "How would you suggest I do so? Give me a trick or two so that I can do my research once I get back," Waverly smiled, but her gaze was cold as ever. "For example..." He raised her chin and fixed his gaze on her as he teased, "Please me." She pursed her lips. "Or, make me happy. Or you can even do the things I want you to do," he smirked. She sneered and pulled his hand away from her, "There are so many women out there who will please you and make you happy. They will all be willing to do everything you want. Did you fall for all of them?" He held her in his arms and said, "Why don't you try it? Maybe it'll be
