Drake apologized to Ruby and said, "Miss He, my girlfriend is upset. I have to go and comfort her. How about I make plans with you another day?" After saying this, Drake quickly left.Ruby disappointedly shouted behind him, "Ah, Drake, I came specifically to find you. I have something important to tell you."Drake replied to her, "We'll talk later. I have to go and appease my wife first."Escaping Ruby, Drake and Frank felt relieved.Drake looked at Frank's coquettish makeup and couldn't help but laugh. "Haha. Frank, you looked so adorable when you were jealous just now. You actually fooled Miss He!"Frank took off the wig on his head and pouted unhappily, "Anyway, I helped you overcome this difficulty. Miss He saw how much you cared about me, so she won't come looking for you anymore. How do you think you should thank me?""I invited you to have a big meal.""That was about it."At that time.Ruby sat in the luxury sports car, gazing at the magnificent Fletcher Manor, lost in thought
Since starting primary school, my daughter has never had good grades. Moreover, her personality has always been dull and self-deprecating, always hiding from people and not likable. Later, she managed to get into college, but only barely made it into a junior college... However, it's strange to say, when my daughter went to study in another city, it was like opening up a new world. Not only did she love studying and work hard to improve her grades, she successfully transferred to a regular college among a crowd of mediocre junior college students; her personality also became lively and cheerful, her taste in clothing improved a lot, and she developed a love for makeup, as if she had undergone a complete transformation.In particular, during the summer vacation of the year when their daughter successfully graduated, she returned home and voluntarily offered to help him manage the computer shop. Then, the income of the computer shop for that month inexplicably skyrocketed. After that, t
Thea looked at the dog and curiously asked, "Why did you suddenly start raising a dog?"Thorne handed the puppy to her and said, "This is the gift I bought for you. Do you like it?"Thea frowned, "I was so busy, how could I have time to take care of it?"Thorne said, "I would take care of its food, drink, and bathroom needs. You just need to pet it."Thea noticed that Thorne's drunkenness was not about the wine and laughed, saying, "Are you afraid I will get bored all by myself?"Thorne complained sadly, "Thea doesn't love to share her thoughts with me anymore. I could only buy a little puppy to make it win your favor for me. After all, I have fallen out of favor in Thea's heart."Thea was stunned.Thorne, in his prime, possessed an age of unparalleled elegance. Every frown, every smile, and every action exuded a damnably graceful charm that made people fall in love at first sight.Thea patted his face and reassured, "How could you possibly fall out of favor? Don't worry, you will sta
Drake was so scared at that time that his mind went blank, and his whole body became as stiff as an ice sculpture.The strange thing was that the people around him looked at him with envy, jealousy, and hatred on their faces. Some even teased him, saying, "Young man, when a girl is so proactive, just accept her proposal.""Yeah, this girl is so beautiful, just like a celebrity, she matches you very well.""You were a boy, so you should have had gentlemanly manners. Don't embarrass girls."***Drake was sweating profusely with anxiety. It was the most embarrassing and helpless moment of his long life.So since that day, Drake was left with a serious psychological trauma towards Ruby. He was afraid to be around her, fearing that she would suddenly become affectionate towards him again.Seeing Drake with a gloomy face, Thorne couldn't help but feel frustrated, “A little girl, you're old enough to be her father. You're afraid of her turning out like this. It's really embarrassing."Drake
Drake's worries seemed unnecessary, as the waiter only served a cup of Americano coffee for Ruby. Without any hesitation, Ruby took it and started sipping on her own.Drake was both delighted to have escaped a disaster and secretly criticized Ruby for being a spoiled and selfish princess, lacking any sense of hospitality.Ruby, perhaps noticing the complex look in Drake's eyes, raised her coffee and asked him, "So, would you like a cup?"Drake quickly waved his hand and said, "I didn't drink coffee."Ruby said, "I knew you didn't drink."Drake was now astonished."How do you know I don't drink coffee? Did you investigate me?" Drake was a little angry. "Miss He, can you please stop interfering in my life?"He was a little panicked. If Ruby caught him and conducted a thorough investigation, what if she discovered some of his secrets... such as his eternal youth, his immunity to illness, his ability to survive without eating or drinking.
Drake ran up and down, although his body did not feel tired, his heart was deeply tormented. After Ruby finished examining the injuries, Drake finally breathed a sigh of relief."It's getting late, I should go home," Drake said to Ruby with a stern face as soon as he walked out of the hospital gate.Ruby, however, persisted and pointed at the wound on her forehead, saying, "Shouldn't you take care of this injury of mine?"Drake glanced at the immaculate bandage on her forehead and sarcastically commented, "Can you stop pretending? Your wound has healed ages ago."Ruby didn't waste any time and took out her phone, sending a text message to Thea, “Ms. Fletcher, Drake hurt me. How do you suggest we handle this?"Then, she also sent a photo in the past.Thea saw Ruby's text message and instantly felt exhausted. She let out a deep sigh. "This Ruby, she's so cunning. Isn't Drake being manipulated by her to death?"Thorne asked, "What
When Ruby returned home, it was already ten o'clock at night. She stood at the entrance of the Butcher Manor, looking at the luxurious mansion she had bought with her intelligence, a touch of bitterness appeared on her face.She had a fight with her family and went out to play for the whole day, but surprisingly, not a single person at home cared about her well-being.Her position in this family used to be so low. It seems that she didn't understand her position before and worked tirelessly for the Butcher family in vain.When Ruby pushed the door open, Ruby's father, Ruby's mother, and her older brother were sitting on the sofa watching TV. The family was having a great time, but the atmosphere became noticeably tense when they saw her.Ruby's mother asked with a cold face, "Why did you come back so late? As a girl, you should be at home every day, instead of hanging out outside."Ruby crossed her arms and looked teasingly at Ruby's mother, saying
Ruby's father sat angrily on the sofa. Ruby's brother nervously poured a glass of water for Paul and said, tremblingly, "Dad, you know, I'm not studying IT. Kent asked me such professional questions, and I definitely didn't know."Paul, on the other hand, insisted, "Your sister doesn't even study IT. But why is she able to persuade clients to sign contracts with her?"Ruby's mother realized that today's contract signing had failed. She was biased towards her paralyzed son and said, "Oh dear, husband, Ruby has always been in charge of this project. Suddenly switching to our son, it's normal for him to be unfamiliar. In my opinion, it's all your fault. You only focus on nurturing Ruby in your daily life. In the future, you should give our son more opportunities like this."Paul thought for a moment and agreed with his wife's words."Let's talk about it later."Ruby's brother shifted the battlefield, “By the way, where did Ruby go? If it wasn't
"The brutal murder of the rental house sisters, why such haste in mutual destruction?" The headline quickly appeared on the trending topiclist. There is evidence with the pictures.When Thea saw this article, she was actually drawn to the characters in the pictures in the article.The little boy stood with his hands in his pockets, gazing at the little girl in front of him. The sunlight bathed him, making him look so divine.Like a savior.Thea, however, felt a chill running through her body.Eric and Emma finally met."What's wrong?" Thorne walked over, placing a gentle hand on Thea's shoulder. His gaze skimmed over the article on the phone screen, and Thorne sighed."Don't worry, it was me who arranged their meeting. I thought that once Eric and Emma met, he would forget about bothering us. After all, Emma's situation is enough to keep him occupied."Thea stared at Thorne and said, "I wasn't afraid of Eric and Emma meet
Eric crazily picked up the stick, intending to smash it down on the man's head again. However, for some reason, a trace of fear suddenly overflowed from his pupils, and the stick weakly slipped from his palm.Emma stood at the door and saw this scene, confusion welled up in her eyes.The man turned his head and saw that it was just a child. His previously panicked face instantly twisted into a grimace. He pushed Eric away and said, "Get lost, you little brat. How dare you ruin my good thing."Eric sat down on the ground, kicking weakly with heavy breaths.The man lost interest, he pulled up his pants, dropped a 100note, and walked away grumbling.The paralyzed woman, with a lifeless face, still managed to pull the blanket over herself.Emma looked at the woman with a puzzled expression and asked, "Don't you feel humiliated living like this?"A tear welled up in the woman's eyes, and her body visibly trembled. "Yes, I also wanted
Ingrid returned home, looking disheveled with messy hair and clothes in complete disarray, with bruises all over her body.Her mother, Hana, saw her daughter's appearance and panic filled her eyes, “Ingrid, what is going on with you?"Ingrid gritted her teeth and angrily said, "It's all because of Samuel. My classmates don't believe me anymore. Mom, where is my little brother?"Hana walked towards the bedroom and raised her voice, shouting, "Eric."The bedroom door slowly slid open, and a gloomy-faced little boy stood at the entrance. He stared coldly at Ingrid and said, "Samuel?"Ingrid nodded, "He seemed to know your secret."Eric glanced at the wounds on Ingrid's body and couldn't help but feel frustrated, “It's no surprise that he knows my secret. Didn't I tell you before? The Brown family and the Fletcher family are both mysterious families. Be careful."Ingrid said, "He asked me to pass on a message to you, telling y
Ingrid was furious, “You are young, yet your thoughts are so malicious. Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will blame you for giving away the Fletcher family's assets to outsiders?"Samuel was speechless. "Where do you get the audacity to think that your position in my grandfather's heart would surpass mine?"Ingrid had a determined look on her face.Samuel laughed again, "Besides, my grandfather's assets, he can give them to whoever he wants, I have no objections at all. If I want money, I will earn it myself."The words embarrassed those who had the idea of getting something for nothing, turning their faces red with shame.Ingrid's tears flowed incessantly as she became furious, "You have so much integrity, just don't cry later."Samuel was speechless, "At least now it's not me who's crying."Although he was young, he was a head taller than Ingrid, and when he had a stern expression, a chilling aura surrounded his feature
Samuel picked up a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Kassidy. He even flattered her by saying, "Please have some tea."Kassidy took the tea and drank it all in one gulp, tilting her head back. The furrowed brow had a touch of youthful innocence, as if she didn't know the taste of worry, but was trying to force a new sorrow upon herself.Samuel leaned in and had a mature look on his face, saying, "Don't be sad. Whatever knot in your heart that can't be untied, just tell me and I'll help you solve it, little brother."Kassidy wrapped one hand around Samuel and couldn't help but sigh, "Your brother is still the best. Those men outside, they all seem good-looking and knowledgeable, but why is it that none of them truly love and care for me? What is it that I am lacking?"Kassidy's eyes turned red as she continued speaking, "I was already very serious about managing my emotions. In order to find someone to spend the rest of my life with, I ended up with
Kassidy said, "Let's break up."The boy showed an incredulous expression and said, "Just because of this, you want to break up with me?"Kassidy's eyes showed a momentary sadness. But she was well aware that if her boyfriend could allow others to humiliate her, it meant that he didn't truly love her.She used to be blind in one eye.But Kassidy was a person who was too lazy to explain. She was very arrogant, saying, "Just for this."The boyfriend immediately got angry, "You are always so domineering and forceful. Any decision you make, I have to obey unconditionally. But why? I am also a person, I also have my own emotions. Since you have decided to break up, fine, I will grant your wish. Don't regret it."Kassidy glanced at the infuriated man and then walked outside.But Ingrid stopped her, “Kassidy, don't be angry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have given him so much alcohol. He was just drunk, and when he wakes up, he will d
Samuel held onto William's neck and affectionately said, "Grandpa, as long as you are happy, I will unconditionally support any decision you make."William was very pleased and said, "Our grandson was not raised in vain."Kassidy's expression, however, was quite unnatural. She stammered, "Grandfather, you should go and investigate the background of that grandmother, shouldn't you?"William's eyes darkened, “Did you hear any rumors?"Kassidy noticed William's displeasure and nervously stepped back. They remained silent.Olivia said, "William, you scared the child. You are so smart, can't you see that Hana's daughter had impure motives for approaching Kassidy?"William just woke up from a dream and said, "Your female classmate's last name is Kerr?"Kassidy nodded fearfully.William fell silent.Thea sighed silently, realizing her father's persistence towards Hana, with the courage to resist societal norms, and she di
Thea, Olivia, and Thorne were sitting in a row on the sofa. When William saw them, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and then his old face became shy. "You guys haven't rested yet?"Olivia teased, "How can I sleep when my son and daughter-in-law are worried about your safety, an old man like you, not coming home so late? If they can't sleep well, naturally I can't sleep either."William felt ashamed and said, "Thea, don't wait for me anymore in the future. Although I am not young, I have just entered my prime, so I am not considered old."Olivia sighed and said, "Oh, love really makes people feel younger. A few years ago, who would have said to me, he's getting old. Half of his foot is buried in the yellow soil, with no other wishes in this lifetime, his last wish in life is for his daughter's well-being."William rolled his eyes at Olivia and said, "You, always so stubborn. I can't argue with you anymore, I'm going to bed."At this moment, Thea
Hana immediately showed joy, she straightened her clothes and adjusted her posture. Then, she tactfully and gracefully suggested, "Both Williamand I have been married before, and I have thought about it. Our wedding doesn't need to be extravagant, we just need to get the marriage certificate and invite our family and friends for a meal."Thea remained silent and continued to listen attentively to her advice."Since the wedding was not grandly celebrated, but the necessary three golds and dowry still had to be present. It didn't need to be a lot, just for the sake of formality. My main purpose was to appease my family."At this point, seeing that no one responded, Hana fell silent.Thea asked, "How much do you think is appropriate?"Hana paused, her gaze shifting towards the girl beside her.The girl, with an innocent and naive appearance, spoke in a childish accent about adult matters, “My aunt, who has a lower education level th
