Edmund smiled and said, "Miss, you might not believe me if I tell you the truth."
Marilyn also smiled, "Call me Lynn. 'Miss' makes me feel very uncomfortable, and I want to call you Edmund."
Edmund was slightly stunned and replied kindly, "Alright, Lynn."
Marilyn said, "Then tell me, Edmund! I will believe whatever you tell me!"
"Great! Then the truth is that your father cares about the unity of buildings and the surroundings very much. He wants his buildings to be harmonious and comfortable for the residents, the building itself, and the nearby environment.
Do you know why there aren't buildings more than ten stories tall along Lakeside District?"
It was surprising and fresh for Marilyn. She asked curiously, "Because it will make the whole thing not harmonious and balanced enough?"
Edmund answered, "Sort of. It's an open secret for those who are familiar with

Jacob looked at him doubtfully. That night, he and Dominic met Malcolm in the Lakeside District.Jacob said, "You're asking me who was the legal person from before?"Malcolm said, "Yes, that was what I asked you back then, but Dominic was unwilling to answer this question. Now, can I ask you who is the legal person of that land?"When Jacob heard this, he instantly became nervous. Could it be that they had misjudged this time? Did they believe the wrong person?Malcolm looked at Debbie and his heart ached for her. This time, she seemed to be treated by her friend.Malcolm said faintly, "The person who bought this land is the cousin of Mrs. Remington's friend's husband. The two of them bought this land together, but after buying it, they found that no matter what they built, they would not be able to earn money. Moreover, they invested a lot of money in it, and the bank loan is even more difficult to get. The industry insiders are extremely secretiv

At the Fiesta Hotel. "Yes, it's Room 503. He's gonna meet you there." "Got it." Hanging up the phone, Marilyn swept the room card and went in. She was sent here by her sister Sandra to deliver some urgent papers to Mr. Hamilton, a critical partner of her family business. Just as Marilyn was about to turn on the light, a sharp knock came from the corridor. She opened the door without hesitation. "Good after..." Marilyn barely finished her greetings when she got roughly pushed back abruptly. "I need your help," the man said bluntly between ragged breathing. "S-Sure... But are...y-you Mr. H-Ham...?" Marilyn asked in a shaking voice out of fear. She wasn't prepared for something like this. "Just follow my instructions. I won't hurt you." Ignoring her question, the man approached closer until Marilyn's back was squashed up against the wall. In the dark room, Marilyn couldn't see the face of the man. She could only hear her heart thumping. Intimidated by the aggressive

Marilyn was startled. Then she ran out of the Chambers family's villa. Marilyn ran all the way nonstop. It was still early. There were few pedestrians on the road. The morning fog was thick. Tears blurred her eyes, and her body trembled involuntarily. The beautiful foster mother she had always respected set her up! The sister whom she had always loved and protected, treated her as a tool to make money! Marilyn felt that her world was collapsing, and she was in such despair that she couldn't feel anything else but pain. Immersed in tremendous grief, she ran into the road when a dark red sports car was speeding over. In a flash, a long braking horn sounded. The next minute, Marilyn realized she was on the road, her eyes blurred by tears contracted violently. With the sound of a bang, Marilyn's body flew up and hit back onto the ground in a short distance. She lay motionless on the ground, her face ghastly pale. The red blood sprang from the back of her head. As her

Marilyn never meant to stay, for she had stuff to do. Yet the nurse asked her to keep an eye on the man's condition. So she had no choice but to stick around for now. "When his family shows up, I'll be good to go," she thought.While she was waiting, sleepiness kicked in. Then she dozed off by the bedside.Malcolm, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. After glancing around the room, he found himself in a hospital.Suddenly, someone's phone rang, repeating the same line from a song over and over.Annoyed by the noise, Malcolm furrowed his brows.Marilyn, hearing the familiar ringtone, reached into her backpack on her knees and answered the call without looking up."Hi, Arturo." Since she just woke up, her voice was a bit raspy, sounding muffled."Mommy, this is Laverne," the little girl replied in a displeased voice."Sorry, babe, I didn't check the caller ID. What's up?" Marilyn shook her head to drive the drowsiness away.Turned out Laverne was just calling to check if Ma

Malcolm took a long moment before finally pulling his gaze back and walking to Julian gracefully.After getting in the car, he leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes, trying to hide his feelings. Yet his clenched jaw gave away his emotional turmoil.The wound on his forehead throbbed faintly, but it was nothing compared to the ache in his heart.Before Julian started the car, he glanced at Malcolm through the rearview mirror.Then he couldn't help feeling puzzled. It had been ages since he last saw Malcolm look this wretched.As the richest man in Fielddell and the CEO of the Lowe Group, Malcolm was a formidable figure in the business world. He was the definition of cold and unapproachable, oozing innate elegance.Ruthlessness and decisiveness were his middle name. Rumor had it that whoever offended him would die a miserable death.If it weren't for their years of friendship, Julian wouldn't have dared to sit in the same car with him. His very existence was overwhelming.Snapping

The venue was crowded. Arturo, the prodigy who had recently become a sensation, had caught the attention of the entire country. So today's competition was being broadcast nationwide.Many reporters were surrounding the handsome Arturo playing the piano on stage, snapping photos of him.Arturo was dressed formally today—in a black suit with a bow tie. His thick, black hair was fluffy, making him look even more handsome. While playing the piano, he exuded elegance.Marilyn looked at him with a smile, feeling lucky for her choice. Due to fear of the financial burden and the gossip, many unmarried girls who got knocked up would choose to terminate the pregnancy.When she found out she was pregnant, she was scared too. But it was just momentary.Since she had no family and barely any friends, the children in her belly would become her only hope and family. Thus, she chose to keep them.When she found out she was expecting triplets during a prenatal checkup, she was shocked. But soon, joy ov

Malcolm instinctively looked up, but the camera had already focused back on the host.He glanced over disinterestedly and then looked away, catching only a glimpse of Arturo.Suddenly, thought of the schedule for tomorrow and asked, "The design director from the branch will be here tomorrow, right?"Julian smiled, "Yeah. She joined the branch three years ago and soon got promoted to design director with her unique designs. She's quite excellent. I'm sure she'll be a great help after taking over Hannah's job."Malcolm nodded, his handsome face devoid of emotion.The Lowe Group operated in various industries, but he had always been obsessed with design.The topic brought a warm memory back to his mind."Lynn, what do you wanna do when you grow up?" asked young Malcolm."Malcolm, what do you think of my princess dress?" Young Carolyn stood up, spinning around in front of him with a sweet smile. Her dress fluttered, making her tender face even sweeter and lovelier."It's pretty!" Malcolm n

Edmund was alienating Debbie and she felt ridiculous. She asked curiously, "Where are you going?"The price of the land Debbie bought was very high, and she regretted buying it. Now she had financing difficulty and she had to find an investor!Debbie thought Bradley was the best investor!Debbie had asked Bradley several times, but he refused to see her. In the past few days, she has been looking for opportunities to meet him.Last time Debbie came to see Malcolm for this, but because she hit Marilyn, Malcolm didn't want to help her.Edmund said indifferently, "Mrs. Remington, it seems unnecessary for us to tell you where we are going. We have things to do. We will leave first."Then Edmund looked at Marilyn gently.Marilyn nodded and got in the car.Edmund returned to the driver's seat.

Marilyn looked at Velma coldly. Her eyes were pure and calm. "Why should I tell you? It's not your business. Get out of my way!""Marilyn, I won't let you go!" Velma looked at Marilyn and said stubbornly."What the hell do you want?" Marilyn said impatiently.Velma looked at Marilyn suspiciously and said, "Marilyn, you are allergic to mangoes and spinach, aren't you?"Velma had always suspected that she made a mistake, but she did not know what was wrong with it.Two paternity tests showed that Marilyn was not Debbie's daughter, but Velma still suspected Marilyn.Malcolm's attitude was abnormal, so Velma was even more confused.When Marilyn heard this, she thought of Velma's paternity test. She asked, "Why do you want to know about this?""You don't need to know why. You just have to answer my question." Velma looked at Marilyn arrogantly.Marilyn glanced at her and did not speak.Marilyn thought, 'Is Velma doubti

She didn't ask about Margie. She was worried that if asked, Marilyn would have no appetite. She always eats like a bird.Elvira wanted to ask her after dinner.After one glass of wine, Roland picked up the wine bottle again and poured two full glasses of wine.Marilyn saw it and said, "Roland, are you trying to get my father drunk? Drinking is harmful to the body. Besides, you have work tomorrow."Bradley laughed. "Don't worry, Lynn. Dad has a high tolerance for alcohol. I'm so happy tonight. Let's drink some more!"Roland also said, "Lynn, you don't have to worry about me. I also have a high tolerance for alcohol. You knew that. Moreover, I am delighted tonight.

Denise, who was at the side, said, "Lynn, Elvira, Dominic, you haven't had dinner yet. Have dinner first!"Hearing this, Marilyn looked at her and smiled, "Denise, I feel hungry now that you reminded me. But let's wait a little longer. Dad should be back soon.""Alright!"

"Malcolm, are you kidding?" Sergio looked at Malcolm in disbelief.Malcolm frowned and glared at Sergio. He thought it seemed to be wrong to tell Sergio these things."If you don't believe me, you can leave now!"With that, Malcolm sipped beer.Sergio became serious. He knew Malcolm would never joke about that.Sergio lowered his head and looked at the beer on the table. He then also picked up a glass of beer. He drank half of it. The alcohol cleared his mind.After finishing a glass of beer, Sergio had one more.He smiled at Malcolm. "Congratulations, Malcolm!"Malcolm held the beer in his hand and leaned against the sofa. He looked at Sergio with a smile. "Thank you!"Sergio said, "I know you will never lie to me!"Malcolm said, "Of course, my friend!"They smiled at each other and drank another mouthful of beer.The lights shone on their faces, making them look more handsome.Sometimes alco

"I haven't decided yet. I'll think about it tomorrow." With that, Malcolm walked towards the refrigerator.Malcolm took out a few cans of beer, placed them on the table, and looked at Sergio.Malcolm said, "I want to drink more! Let's go!"Sergio glanced at the beer on the table and shook his head. "That's enough for me!""Then let's talk!" Malcolm sat next to Sergio.Malcolm didn't like alcohol. These beers were bought by Julian.Julian had bought them in case visitors like himself wanted to have a drink."About what?" Sergio looked at Malcolm calmly.Neither of them was talkative. It was hard for them to start a conversation.Malcolm thought for a moment and said, "Sergio, I love Lynn very much. I'll prove it with actions."The look in Sergio's eyes changed. Sergio quietly stared at Malcolm without saying anything.Malcolm continued, "I will marry her!""I know," Sergio replied faintly with his head lowered to hide his expression.

Marilyn clenched the steering wheel.Speaking of Malcolm, she remembered something else.After this matter about Margie was over, she would investigate it in person. She wouldn't stop until she figured it out.She did not get any useful information from Margie. At this moment, even if she was unwilling to give up, there was no other way.After Margie's matter was over, she would continue her investigation.If there was a chance, she would meet Margie.She would feel better making it clear.Since Marilyn did not answer her, Laverne felt bored. She hugged her knees with both hands and leaned against the car seat, looking at the traffic stream in front of her."Mom, why aren't you talking? Don't you like Malcolm?" Laverne could not help but ask again.Marilyn smiled. "Laverne, there are many kinds of love. Which kind do you want mommy to have for Malcolm?"When Laverne heard this, she showed interest with a smile on
