After coming out of the bathroom, Aaron casually flopped onto the bed, pinning Elaine beneath him. Elaine closed her eyes, trying to make herself less nervous.Seeing her like this, Aaron, with a sly smile, kissed her lips, slowly deepening the kiss. Elaine gripped the bedsheet tightly, her body becoming even tenser."Don't be afraid, relax," Aaron whispered sensually into her ear.However, Elaine couldn't relax at all. She was extremely nervous and felt as if each second was agonizing. Intimacy between a man and a woman was unfamiliar to her, and the psychological pressure she was under made it even more challenging. Aaron's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he pressed his lips firmly against hers, no longer with gentle kisses but deep, passionate ones, as if he wanted to devour her.Elaine endured it passively, and as his hands began to explore her body, moving downward... soon, the tassels of the bedsheet hanging down rhythmically swayed left and right.Elaine never mustered the c
Inside the car, Nahum appeared focused on driving, but his gaze kept shifting towards the woman beside him. Since the incident that day, no matter how much he apologized, Renee refused to see him or answer his calls. These past few days had been restless for him. That's when he came up with the idea to meet Mason and had their other classmates arrange for Renee to be present. He knew Mason's personality well and understood that Mason wouldn't say anything good about him. His goal was for Renee to hear it, leading her to lose all hope in him.Now that his objective had been achieved, he couldn't be happier. However, Renee was sitting right next to him, so he had to keep his emotions in check.Quickly concealing his emotions, he softened his voice and said, "You heard what he said, right? He never considered you a priority, Renee. Forget about him!"Renee remained silent.Nahum became a bit anxious. "What's wrong? Can it be that you still can't forget about him?""Stop the car!" Renee p
It had been a whole month since the wedding, and Elaine and Aaron had finally returned. Stepping onto familiar soil once again, Elaine felt a small surge of excitement because another new journey in life was about to begin.Luke came to pick them up at the airport. Their grandfather wanted them to return to the old estate, where a family feast had been prepared, awaiting their arrival. Since it was a family banquet, Lionel would undoubtedly be present.Thinking about this, Aaron wrapped his arm around Elaine's shoulder and asked in a soft voice, "Are you okay with this?"Elaine smiled and replied, "Of course!"Aaron held her hand and said, "Let's go!"Aaron was absolutely right; since it was a family banquet, every family member would be present. Ralph Brown was seated at the head of the table, with Trevor, Mavis, and Lionel on his left, and Vincent and Lilian on his right. Both families didn't particularly like each other.Aaron and Elaine entered together, and Ralph Brown immediatel
In the yard, Ralph Brown suddenly let out a long sigh.Elaine was startled, "Grandfather, what's wrong?"Ralph Brown turned to look at her and said, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted that the first grandson inherit the company, those two brothers wouldn't be...""Grandfather, do you know something?" Elaine asked cautiously.Ralph Brown sighed in helplessness, "Lionel... actually wanted to kill both of you."Elaine was shocked. She couldn't believe that Ralph Brown knew everything. She continued to ask, "If you knew, why didn't you stop him? Now he's become the CEO, what about Aaron?"Ralph Brown held her hand and said, "Aaron is lucky to have married you."Elaine smiled but didn't say anything.Ralph Brown seemed not to care, and he patted her hand firmly, "You may not understand what I'm saying right now, but it's okay. You'll understand in the future. Aaron is a good boy. If he ever does something wrong, just tell me, and I'll handle it for you."Elaine vaguely felt that Ralp
The two of them returned to their own home, and their relationship had become even closer. In the morning, Aaron had to go to the office, and Elaine accompanied him to the door. After reminding him to drive carefully, he pulled her into an embrace and kissed her passionately before finally letting her go, saying, "Wait for me to come back."Elaine nodded, now accustomed to his affectionate gestures, and only turned back to their room after he had left.Aaron's leg wasn't fully recovered, so he couldn't drive himself. Jason had come to pick him up. In the car, Aaron asked Jason, "Do you think the Garcia family was involved in this?"Jason gave him a sidelong glance before replying, "I think the Garcia family was involved."Aaron listened but didn't say anything further.When they arrived at the office, Aaron was no longer the CEO. He headed to the general manager's office. Lionel arrived shortly after and, as soon as he entered, mocked Aaron, "The view from the general manager's office
n the old Brown mansion, Aaron sat on the sofa, facing the furious Ralph Brown. He calmly said, "Grandfather, please don't try to persuade me. There are only two possible outcomes for this situation: I take over the Aaron Group, or I let it go bankrupt, just like it should have three years ago.""You dare to threaten me!" Ralph Brown's trembling hands gripped his cane tightly."If you insist on seeing it that way, then so be it," Aaron showed no signs of backing down. He bent down to pick up a teacup from the table but was hit on the hand by Ralph Brown's cane. A blood mark quickly appeared where he was struck. Aaron chuckled and said, "Grandfather, I've always respected you. From childhood to adulthood, you've always favored our cousin as the heir. Our uncle's family often mistreated us, but I never complained, did I?"Ralph Brown looked at him, his lips curled in a mocking smile, and his chest heaving with anger.Aaron continued, "Three years ago, the company was on the brink of col
Aaron returned home and didn't see Elaine, so he took out his phone and called her. The call was quickly answered. "What's wrong?" Hearing Elaine's voice on the other end of the phone, he felt relieved and asked, "Where are you?""In the afternoon, Luke took me to the old mansion, but I'm coming back soon," Elaine replied.Aaron saw that she was back and walked over to embrace her. "I need to talk to you." Although he didn't know what Grandfather and Elaine had discussed, he felt it was essential to explain things clearly to her to avoid any misunderstandings about his intentions regarding the shares.Elaine could guess a bit about the shares issue. If Grandfather hadn't brought it up, she wouldn't have known about it. Her father had never mentioned it to her either. As for Aaron, she looked at him and assumed he was also unaware."Grandfather definitely mentioned the shares to you. I want to make my position clear. Since that 10% of the shares belongs to your family, I won't take it.
Mason sat alone at the bar, with a bottle of whiskey on the table in front of him. As a doctor, he had good habits and rarely drank, so if he was drinking, it meant his mood was very bad.He tilted his head back and downed half a glass of whiskey, feeling the brown liquid burn down his throat into his stomach. It wasn't a pleasant sensation, but it seemed to help him relieve the frustration he was feeling.With his striking looks, several women in the bar were interested in striking up a conversation with him."Sir, I'm alone here. Do you mind if I sit with you?" a woman approached.Mason looked up, seeing a woman with curly hair, a well-endowed figure, and long legs – a classic beauty. Her eyes were locked onto him as if she was waiting for his approval to sit on his lap. He furrowed his brows and said, "Get lost!"The woman thought she had misheard and blinked, asking, "What did you say?""I said, get lost!" Mason said, without raising his eyes. This time, the woman heard him loud a
