It seemed like they were so close!But, Kevin had never taken Rose to any gathering to meet his friends before!All of a sudden, the nonchalant laughter Rose heard caused her heart to ache. It was like an invisible knife piercing into her heart, increasing the distance between them.At this moment, Rose smirked in self-mockery as her heart went numb. The last hope at the bottom of her heart seemed to have vanished, leaving a crack in her heart.She didn't stay any longer. She just walked past.William caught a glimpse of her. His hand that was holding the wine glass paused and his gaze froze for a few seconds subconsciously.Was it his imagination?At this time, all of them were recalling the happy and embarrassing moments of the past. Scarlett laughed her heart out. At a glance, she noticed his strange behavior and subconsciously turned her head to look at the door as well."William, what are you looking at?"Everyone turned their eyes to where she was looking but there was nothing a
Sure enough, as soon as she did that, Gorge subconsciously retreated, allowing Rose to withdraw her hand. She deliberately pretended to sneeze and flung her purse. She even acted as if she was bending over and using her high heels of hers to step onto his feet."Achoo!""Ouch!"The man screamed and turned around abruptly. As for Rose, she purposely rubbed her nose and apologized, "Oh, no, I am so sorry. Achoo..."Then, she pretended to sneeze again to take a few steps backward, keeping a distance from him."Mr. Riley, are you okay? I am so sorry about that. How ridiculous of me. I'm not feeling well recently. Alas, perhaps I've taken a little too much of Artemisinin— oh, no, I meant I might've caught a cold. Maybe I have put on a little too much perfume, which made my nose feel a little itchy..."After deliberately emphasizing the explanation, Rose still had a smile on her face as she was eyeing the money."I'm very interested in the task you just mentioned! Unfortunately, I'm not goo
"Huh?"For a moment, Kevin did not get what she was saying. He thought that a woman was walking past, thus he stopped and looked around."I mean... the woman who was wearing a white sweater with a black and white printed skirt. We met her in the corridor of the nightclub, didn't we?"Hearing that, Kevin knew that she was referring to Rose. He couldn't express the feeling in his heart, but he didn't deny her question.Rose was more than beautiful. Her beauty was utterly indescribable.In an instant, Scarlett's smile froze. "You like her, don't you?"His mind was already in a mess. When Scarlett brought her up, he became even more agitated. "Let's stop talking about these useless things! You can get in now.""Kevin, why don't you answer my question? I feel like you have been absent-minded since earlier on. When Alex mentioned having a barbecue at the place we used to go to celebrate my return, it was clear that everyone was very excited. It's your favorite place but you didn't say anyth
Kevin was shocked. Although he already had a premonition of it, he didn't expect that she would say it. He didn't push her away but his tone was very serious as he tried to reject her politely."Scarlett, I'm still married!""I don't mind it! Kevin..."Raising her head, she pouted her rosy lips slightly and was eager to kiss him. Scarlett's eyes showed that she was begging him without any disguise."God knows how many women you have slept with outside. I said you are disgusting! Do not touch me!"Rose's roar suddenly appeared in his mind. Turning his face sideways, Kevin avoided Scarlett. Instead, he grabbed her hand and spoke with a cold attitude."Scarlett, don't be silly! You should know me well. I hate this kind of thing the most!"Even if he loved her from the bottom of his heart, no matter how impulsive he was, as long as he was still in a marriage, he would not sleep with her. This was a matter of principle!He would never do that!With a slight shiver, Scarlett instantly reali
Kevin smiled faintly. This time, he didn't answer because he suddenly realized that he disliked spongers. Their different views were slowly leading to a disagreement.This was different from when they used to share the same views. This feeling was terrible. He liked the lively woman compared to the serene, effeminate woman lying in his arms. Her gentleness and calmness were dull and soulless, making him feel uncomfortable!He couldn't stand it anymore... he felt that he was going crazy and sick. If he stayed any longer, everything would feel so unnatural. Slowly, he pushed Scarlett away."Well, have a good rest! I'll come to see you another time!"With that, he got up and walked away in huge strides.****When he got home, all he could think about was Rose. He wanted to go back to that home. Late at night, he was smoking and pacing around in the house, slowly losing his composure."What on earth did she do to bewitch me?"He could have had a woman who would throw herself at him or an
How could she still be in the mood to advertise and enjoy herself? He thought about how he had treated her… he had doted on her and pampered her, just for it all to be in vain. She didn't have a conscience, all she cared about was money!Getting up, Kevin inexplicably felt agitated again.She could see that he was with another woman but still, she didn't give a d*mn and still had the mood to earn money. Was her brain fried? Has she given up on him, who was like a man of means, to work for that tiny bit of labor wage?To women, he was like a piece of meat among a pack of wolves. How could she just ignore him? In her eyes, could he not even compare to that immoral jerk who was all talk that had abandoned her?Only a few things could affect his emotions but at this moment, the messages he derived from the posts made him blow his top!That night, holding back his anger, Kevin partied with Scarlett as he let himself go wild throughout the night.....****The next day, photos of the two of
Those whom she wanted to see, would not come; and yet those she wanted away to stay away from would just appear! What type of ill luck did she have?With no place to vent her pent-up anger, Rose lost control at that moment."Do you think I would still stupidly, shamelessly suck up to you just with a beckon? Because of you, my home is gone, my love has been destroyed, and my life and career were changed! Do you believe that with Nancy Wilson, with your child, and after destroying my belief in love, I would still fantasize about you?"Catching her breath, Rose felt like a clown at that instant."You think too highly of yourself! If you had known what I have gone through these past three years, you would have known how much I regret meeting you! James Matthews, I will never forgive you, let alone accept you! Everything I do has nothing to do with you! Just f*cking stay away from me in the future!"Thinking of the past, Rose couldn't help but burst into tears again. She gritted her teeth
Coming back to his senses, Kevin realized what he just said. Standing in front of him, the finance manager, administrative manager, and sales director were all looking at him in shock. Daniel had also looked up at him in surprise.Sensing that others cast him with a look, the finance manager swallowed his saliva and spoke up."Mr. Davis, this month's pay scheme has already been prepared! Is it the bonus you're delaying? Do you need me to redo this month's pay scheme?He felt embarrassed to tell Kevin straight what was going on in his mind, "You just signed the scheme two days ago! If I have to redo it, I would have to work overtime before the end of the month. Whether it can be completed in time is a problem itself. I'm probably the one who's going to bear the brunt now!" However, he didn't dare say a word.The point was that there were no financial or liquidity problems! Why not pay the wages?At the same time, the sales director also chimed in."Mr. Davis, the wages for sales have a
Just like that one month had passed. In this one month, Kevin had worked non-stop. The next month he and Rose were getting married. Before their marriage, Kevin had decided to finish all his two months of work, because he had promised Rose that he would take her on vacation.In the Star International CEO’s office…Kevin sat behind on his chair and was busy looking at the documents in his hand and when Daniel knocked on the door and came inside…Daniel walked to the coffee machine made two cups of coffee and gave one to Kevin. Then he sat on the opposite chair.Kevin finished reading the file in his hand, signed his name, and put it down. He picked up the cup of coffee and asked…“How are the things I asked you to do?” Kevin took a sip of the coffee and asked.“I have dealt with everything as you said. The Follen Group all shares fell after the news of Mr. Follen being involved in money laundering and Tax evasion came to the light. After the investigation, Mr. Follen was sent to jail a
Just like that, with the help of that man, she shot that video.After hearing everything, Rose's eyes widened in shock. Because in the video lights were dim she wasn’t able to see clearly. What’s more men’s eyes were closed and because of the panic in her heart, she didn’t think too much and came here…“Since I have told you everything, I hope you can rest in peace after your death,” Lucy said as she stood up from her chair and was about to go out.However, she stopped and looked back at her. “Oops, I forget to tell you something very important. You are not going to die hare alone, so don’t be sad. Because your husband will also be going to accompany you.”“What do you mean?” She asked.“It’s like, in another ten minutes Kevin will be here to save you. However, as long as he opened the door, the bomb under your chair will be activated and BOOM!”“Okay, now I am get going, because your husband will be here soon.” After Lucy finished speaking, she picked up her bag and left.Before leav
The man in the photo was the person who had drugged Rose's father. Kevin had been looking for this man for a long time, however before he could catch him he had already left the C city.That’s why it takes so much time for him to find him. However, after finding out about the person behind all this, he was very disappointed. He had some idea, but after finding out that the person was Scarlett, he felt a little sad in his heart.After all, they have so many good memories together and even if they are no longer with each other, he still hopes that both of them can live their lives happily.“Scarlett, I had given you so many chances in the past, because I always respected our friendship… However, this time you had hurt the person who was very important to me… I will never forgive you…” Kevin said calmly.Kevin knows that for Rose her parents are very important in her life. All these years she had worked so hard to save her father. This time if something happened to her father, he can’t e
Kevin looked at Rose who was eating happily and asked, “I can understand everything, but I can’t understand one thing.”“What is it?” Rose asked.“How did I still able to win the bid?” He asked.“Oh, that… Because, I gave them a USB drive with filled with virus. As long as they opened it, all the data inside was destroyed.”Rose said. However, she was only able to do all this, with the help of Stella. Rose was very grateful to her. If she didn’t help her, she didn’t know whom to ask. It was also the reason, Rose sent her parents abroad, because she was afraid that once, that person found out that she had given him a USB filled with a virus, he would attack her parents again.Kevin nodded. After the both of them, finished eating, Rose washed the dishes and looked at Kevin who was still sitting on the sofa. “Why are you not leaving?” She asked.“I am not going anywhere. Because there is also another reason why I came here today.” Kevin said.“What other reason?” Rose asked, as she walke
After he finished speaking, he went inside. Kevin put the things in his hand on the table and looked at Rose, who was also walking over after closing the door.Kevin went forward and hugged her tightly. He buried his head in her shoulder and said, “I miss you so much.”Rose smiled and patted on his back. “Let me go, I am very hungry. Let’s eat something first.” She said.The person she asked to deliver food was none other than, but Kevin. Kevin nodded and let her go. After that, both of them, sat down to eat. Looking at her favorite food, Rose smiled and started to eat happily.As she was eating, she thought something and asked, “How are the things going on? Do you find the person behind all this?”Kevin looked up at her and said, “"Yes that man is Sebastain Davis, who installed that motoring device in your phone.""Sebastain Davis?" Hearing this name, Rose finally understands everything... "So it was him who did this. No wonder I didn't find out anything.""Don't worry, it will not l
Looking at the group of people who were condemning and glaring at her, Rose suddenly understood.It turned out that this was the real purpose of this trap! To let Kevin and even the whole Davis family witness her betrayal of him with their own eyes. It was to turn her family against her and completely break the relationship between the two!As her eyes fell on Scarlett and the middle-aged man, Rose concluded. "What a coincidence! This matter must have something to do with her!" Rose thought to herself.When she was still sorting out her thoughts, Lucy had already rushed over in anger. She looked at the computer for a few seconds, then she shouted."I saw you entering the hotel with a man sneakily. I thought that you were having an affair. It turned out that you had stolen something. Has the Davis family done you any wrong? You actually stole Star International's trade secrets in exchange for fifty million dollars? What is this? The bidding proposal for the west city!"She kept yelling
By the time Kevin came back, it was almost midnight, but Rose was still on the sofa. As soon as she saw him, she got up and ran up to him."Hubby, is dad alright? Is there anything wrong?"Rose took his coat and hung it up. She also took a set of clothes for him to change into and said, "You must be tired! Are you hungry? Let me make you supper. Go and take a shower first!"Seeing that he had returned, everything should be fine now. Just when Rose was about to move, Kevin held her waist."It's fine, I'm not hungry! Dad's fine now. We don't know what he ate that suddenly shot up his blood pressure, but he's stable now. It's already so late, why haven't you slept? Is there anything urgent that I need to know?""No! It's good that he's fine! I just wanted to wait for you to come back. I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't know what's going on! As for my matter, let's talk about it next time. Quick, go take a shower and rest!"Pushing him into the bathroom, Rose quickly tidied up the bed an
"Then don't let him enter the third round!"He threw the list aside and said in a low voice, "Let's see how he can stir up trouble if he can't enter! By the way, do you think... there is anything wrong with the bidding in Western City this time?"“Okay.” Daniel said and was about to leave… However, he stopped and said…"Don't forget that you've made an appointment with Director Sander for dinner at Sky Water Hotel this evening!" Daniel reminded him when he saw that he was very disturbed and left!Kevin sat there for a while, moving away.****That evening, Rose went to Sky Water Hotel as instructed. In the room, she saw the so-called bidding document, it was a USB drive. The staff said that the room was booked online, but the customer was anonymous, so Rose didn't ask for more details. Although this person prepared everything so meticulously and carefully, even if she found out who put it there, the person must be someone insignificant!At that moment, Rose was not in a hurry to find
Rose accompanied her dad the whole way, and only turned her attention to Grayson when she went back to the office. Grayson gave her a cup of water."Don't worry, the results need some time to be released! Now, tell me, what is going on?" He asked."I'm not hiding anything. It is exactly as what I have told you! I don't know what is going on either..."Rose felt helpless, and her anxiety was obvious. Except for the part where she needed the proposal to exchange for the cure, she confessed everything.While they were speaking, a nurse sent in the reports to them.After closing the door, Rose asked anxiously, "How is it? What exactly is the issue?""From the films and the results, so far everything is normal! However, something... unknown is found in his bloodstream!"Because it was listed as a private and confidential matter, this report was not saved. It was specially labelled and the doctors filled in the report according to what he had given."Something unknown?" Rose muttered, her v
