"You seem eager to stay by his side," Maxwell raised an eyebrow.To provoke him, Flora gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, staying by his side is a thousand times better than staying by yours!""Really?" Maxwell lifted her from the floor, staring at her intensively. "Alright then, I'll let you continue to stay by his side, continue to be his assistant!""Really?" Flora stared at him in disbelief, his furious expression sending shivers down her spine. His sudden change of heart and this expression didn't seem like he had any intention of letting her go. Whatever he was planning, it was still better than staying at the Smith Family mansion. Let him have it!"Of course it's true!" Maxwell sneered, his mind quietly calculating something. Kevin! What was he up to? He couldn't wait to find out!While Flora was still in doubt, the sound of a key unlocking the door suddenly came from the entrance, and a group of ladies who had just left rushed in. They surrounded Maxwell, pushing Flora to a cor
"Write it down on this piece of paper," the officer pushed a memo paper in front of her.Flora obediently wrote down the name 'Irma Brown'."Check it online," Frank Garcia ordered flatly, not understanding why he had to deal with this trivial matter. Perhaps Flora's personality reminded him of someone, with the same playful and cute demeanor.As soon as she heard the word 'check', Flora felt panicked. 'Irma Brown' was a name Chloe made up on the spot to anger Miss Alma. There was no way to verify it online. But if she changed her mind and said that she's not called Irma Brown, wouldn't that be a bit misleading?"Take out your ID card," the officer stared at Flora and ordered."I forgot to bring it," Flora answered cautiously."Recite your ID card number," the officer reluctantly changed his tone because of Frank Garcia's presence."I can't remember," Flora's voice was as small as a mosquito's, instinctively grabbing her head, looking like she was planning to escape like a funny charac
The next day, when Flora arrived at the hotel, she heard a girl calling her from behind, saying, "Irma Brown, Mr. Kevin wants you to go and find him when you start work. Don't forget, I'm leaving."Flora stopped in her tracks, didn't turn around, and angrily gritted her teeth, "Kevin! Tell him to go..." Suddenly, an icy smell came from behind, making Flora shiver, and she quickly turned around.When she turned around, she came face to face with Kevin's gloomy handsome face. She couldn't bring herself to say the word 'die' that she had held in her mouth; instead, she had to swallow it back, looking somewhat stunned at the unexpected appearance of Kevin behind her!How did he end up on the 25th floor? And why did he suddenly appear behind her like a ghost? The girl who had just called out to her heard her bold words and saw Kevin, so she turned and fled. As she left, she even gave Flora a sympathetic look. In Flora's eyes, it seemed like it was time for her to pack up and go home.Flora
Inside the Smith Family mansion, a well-dressed man walked with steady steps toward Maxwell's study. After a few knocks on the door, he pushed it open and walked in.Standing in front of Maxwell who was busy working, he respectfully spoke, "Big Young Master, Kevin Davis' information has been investigated. Do you want to review it now?"The man spoke cautiously. Every time he appeared in front of Maxwell, he was always serious. Today, unexpectedly, there was an unusual expression on his face."Darren, did Flora arrive at work on time today?" Maxwell didn't answer his question but instead asked about Flora.Darren nodded, "Yes, she went in, and everything seemed normal."Hearing his words, a moment of relief washed over Maxwell.If she went to work, that meant she hadn't been arrested. For some reason, he was strangely worried that she might end up being thrown into jail. Perhaps it was because she had foolishly returned to the hotel for his sake and ended up getting into so much troubl
"I was just curious, so I asked you," Maxwell replied with a smile. His mind was racing rapidly. 25 years ago, was it really 25 years ago that he was adopted? How was that possible!?Mrs. Davis and Kevin had ulterior motives for their return. No wonder he felt something strange in Mrs. Davis' expression that day, and there was an eerie feeling behind her smile! So, that's it...!"Maxwell, is there anything else? If not, I'll leave first." Mrs. Smith stood up from her chair, looked herself up and down in the mirror, and showed a satisfied expression."Aunt..." Maxwell called out to her, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. He couldn't understand the purpose of Mrs. Davis asking Mrs. Smith to meet Kevin. So, he couldn't let Mrs. Smith go!Mrs. Smith finally noticed his abnormality and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Maxwell, did something happen?"Maxwell shook his head and looked Mrs. Smith in the eye, solemnly saying, "Aunt, can you please not go to the Davis house an
After saying that, Auntie Grace slapped the wall and started screaming, "Heavens! I've always said that good girls shouldn't work at hotels! Trouble always follows when you work at a hotel! You're so young and have already gotten yourself into this mess.""Mom," Chloe interrupted her, annoyed. She called out, "Are you ever going to stop? Who said that working at a hotel means what you think? Flora just has a poor appetite. Who said she's pregnant?"Auntie Grace had mentioned her not working at a hotel more than once, always associating it with something scandalous. No matter how much she tried to correct these beliefs, she couldn't change them. It was driving her crazy!"These symptoms are only seen in pregnancy. Flora, be honest, did you do something shameful? You should resolve this quickly, get rid of the child," Auntie Grace stared at Flora, whose face suddenly turned pale.As someone who had been through it, she understood pregnancy symptoms very well, so she firmly believed that
The next day, Flora woke up early, her hollow eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, her small hands unconsciously caressing her flat stomach. Inside, an unwelcome little life was quietly growing.She absolutely couldn't keep it. If she had to blame someone, it would be the father, Maxwell, who was even worse than a bandit! But did she have the heart to abort this child? Her own flesh and blood!She was still a student herself, and she couldn't possibly afford to secretly raise it. It would only harm this poor child. So, if she were rational enough, she should have the heart to abort it!She gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and got up from the bed. After washing up, Auntie Grace had already prepared breakfast. She walked into Chloe's room and pulled her out of bed, urging her, "Chloe, don't sleep. Accompany Flora to the hospital.""To the hospital?" Chloe jumped up from the bed and looked at her mother in confusion. "Did Flora decide to get an abortion? Are we going today? Doesn't s
Walking into the hospital, Flora immediately felt uncomfortable, fearful, and a little reluctant. Although she kept recalling the instances of Maxwell's abuse, she still felt that this child was innocent and shouldn't be killed before it even formed!After registering, Flora hesitantly followed Chloe to the third floor, the obstetrics and gynecology department. Her steps were hesitant, each one feeling heavy. As she passed by a delivery room, her gaze was drawn to the heartwarming scene inside.There was a woman who had just given birth, surrounded by her family, cooing over the newborn baby in her arms. They looked so happy and their blissful expression made Flora envious.Flora, who had never been moved by such scenes before, suddenly felt moved today. Maybe a woman's maternal instincts were more delicate. Unable to resist, she stopped and peered through the door, silently gazing at the heartwarming scene.She unconsciously placed a hand on her belly, imagining herself as the woman
