Looking at the time, it was already half past five. "What's wrong with her? Haven't I already explained it to her? Why are we visiting Grandma? Why did she choose this time to visit her?" Kevin thought.While packing things, Kevin tried to call Scarlett again. "Sorry, the number you have dialled is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."After making two calls in a row, no one answered. Kevin looked back at Scarlett's message and found out that it was sent an hour ago. Could it be that she was already on her way?Suddenly, Kevin started to feel anxious, his brows snapping together. "What is she thinking? Grandma will only get pissed when she sees her!" Kevin thought.Just before he was about to head out, the landline on the table rang again. He had no choice but to take care of the incoming job.After the slight delay, it was already twenty minutes later when he ended the call.Just when Kevin was about to make another call to Scarlett, she called him first. He immediately
Kevin was afraid that Mrs. Davis wouldn't welcome Scarlett or that Scarlett would say something to offend Mrs. Davis causing a conflict to happen. He then hurriedly took his car key and left his office.When he reached the office's door, Daniel was there too. "Kevin, you have a dinner appointment with Mr Baker tonight...""Ah! I almost forgot! You'll be representing me. I'll give Mr Baker a call and inform him. Deal with him first. If there's an issue, clarify them with me when I'm back. I have to go back home at once!" Kevin said while looking at his watch.Kevin was already gone when he finished his sentence, leaving Daniel, who was still confused about what just happened, on the spot. Did something happen in his family?However, thinking of what he did to Rose, Daniel still felt indebted to her. Moments later, he decided to work harder for Kevin! He turned around and continued his work!****Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Scarlett fixed her makeup. Upon thinking of Kevin's
Fearing that the awkwardness would fill the air again, Mrs Davis chimed in. She had the intention to save Rose from that situation as well. At the same time, her tone and attitude were also telling Scarlett that she was an outsider."Sure!" Rose replied.Rose understood the situation swiftly. Hence, she turned around and went back to the kitchen.Meanwhile, Kevin remained in moody silence. He didn't speak much about this situation but apparently, what he said had just caused trouble.Meanwhile, Scarlett didn't expect such a situation at all. Under such circumstances, Scarlett still squeezed a smile on her face. She always thought that she had a place in Mrs Davis' heart. After all, she was sincere to Kevin back when they were together. How could she be replaced by Rose easily?At that moment, Scarlett just couldn't accept the truth.She couldn't accept the change in Kevin's way of treating her. How did Mrs Davis and Rose get so close in such a short time? Scarlett was further surprise
Thinking of how she was scolded by Kevin that day, Rose felt inexplicably heartbroken.At the same time, Kevin also remembered the same incident. His face was getting paler. Mrs. Davis was rolling her eyes at him as well. Regardless of what Scarlett said, she was still a guest. She hadn’t seen them for years and she came to visit Mrs. Davis with gifts. Due to all these reasons, Kevin still put up with her.Simultaneously, Rose accidentally gulped down a piece of sea cucumber. Unfortunately, it got stuck in her throat.Holding her chest, Rose let out a few short gasps.She almost throws up at the table.Looking at Rose, Kevin patted her on the back intuitively. “Careful. Are you okay? Here! Have some water!”Meanwhile, looking at Rose who almost threw up, Mrs. Davis's eyes brightened up. “Rose, what’s wrong? Do you think you might be pregnant?”Hearing what Mrs. Davis had just said, Rose stopped coughing. Her face reddened. At that moment, she just couldn’t tell Mrs. Davis that she was
However, all those had happened so long ago, even Kevin was unable to remember clearly what happened before Scarlett left, except for the important contract that went missing.In that instant, Kevin's mind was buzzing.He subconsciously stretched out his hand but Scarlett backed away as she cried, trying to avoid him. She was trembling all over. The next second, she turned and ran back to her car.Kevin stood there for a long time as if his legs were stuck to the ground.Going back to his car, Kevin took out a cigarette and lit it up. His hand was slightly shaking as well. At this moment, his phone rang. It was Daniel who called to report what happened with Mr. Baker."Okay, I get it!" Kevin couldn't concentrate at all; his mind was already elsewhere."Kevin, are you okay? You sound unenergetic. Is something wrong?""I'm okay! Just a little tired," Kevin replied.They talked for a while before Daniel drove over and returned his briefcase. Two of them stood by the lake and looked at th
Looking at how Rose acted like a child, Kevin removed the bear from her hands and pulled her to his legs. Simultaneously, she grabbed a pillow and hugged it between her arms. Although they were physically close to each other, she could feel a gap between them!Rubbing her fluffy hair, Kevin said, “Scarlett is a part of my past. I can’t change that. But, she will not affect us now, nor will she affect our future!”Kevin’s words were giving Rose a promise. Upon hearing his words, Rose smiled. It was normal for women to be angry and jealous. Even so, as long as men are willing to comfort them, nine out of ten women could be coaxed for sure.“I didn’t know you were there. She insisted on going to visit Grandma. I was afraid that she might cause a conflict with Grandma if she spoke nonsense, therefore, I had to go with her! You saw what happened too. But, it’s already over now. Thus, don’t worry about it, okay?”Listening to how Scarlett talked about the past, Rose can imagine how intimate
Scarlett thought that Kevin would have changed the way he treated her after knowing the miserable truth. She stayed at home, waiting for Kevin to reach out to her. Surprisingly, there weren't any calls coming in. She was shocked!How was that possible?That day, Scarlett looked at her phone again and again. "Nothing! Not even a message!" she thought.She feared that she was too aggressive, therefore she stopped herself from calling Kevin. But, deep down, she was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks.****Meanwhile, in the CEO's office of Star International, Kevin worked surprisingly efficiently ever since he made up with Rose. Plus, several projects that had been signed smoothly further raised his mood to another height. Returned from a meeting, he contentedly brewed a cup of coffee. He watered the flowers and personally trimmed the branches.Entering the office, Daniel couldn't help but glance at him a few times. Why was Kevin in such an elated mood?Looking at the pot of Lilies Kevin
"W-w-what?"Rose's mind buzzed and she was in a daze. She was stunned by Grayson's words. "Am I dreaming? Am I having a hallucination?""Your father regained his consciousness! Your father is awake! Congratulations, Rose! Your obedience to your parents is finally paying off! Come to the hospital and take a look!"On the other side of the phone, Grayson was as excited as Rose.As she finally came to her senses, tears welled up in her eyes. "Yes! I'm on my way!"Rose was so excited. Her hands were trembling vigorously when she tidied up her desk. She even failed to pick up her car keys a few times.Looking at Rose, Emma felt worried. "Rose, are you okay? What happened?"Rose just shook her head. Tears were falling down her cheeks but she was smiling. She was so happy that she stuttered for a while. "It's great news! I have an emergency. Please... help me request a leave!"Her father was awake now!After packing up her bag, she immediately called her mother. She adjusted her mood and we
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
