Thomas was astounded to see the bruises on Barbara's face when she went to the hospital, "what's wrong?""It's nothing. I bumped into something by accident!" Barbara forced a smile. "Uncle, how do you feel today?"Much better. Staying in the hospital costs a lot of money. The doctor said I'm recovering well. I want to check out tomorrow and recuperate at home."Knowing Thomas was worried about the expenses of the hospital, Barbara felt a pang in her heart. "We're not going to leave the hospital. You need to stay here for a few more days before you're fully recovered""I'm really alright now, Barbara!""Uncle, you don't have to worry about money, I have money. Mr Black offered me a high salary.""Jeremy treats you well indeed. But you're not alone anymore, Barbara. Besides a sick uncle, you have a child to take care of. Eden is growing up every day. You can't leave him to Nathan forever right? Your son needs his mother"The mention of Edens name made Barbara's face dim. Yes, she still
However, things were difficult when Jeremy got involved. The Black's family was also powerful. Mostly important, Barbara was working for Jeremy. If he could benefit them, why wouldn't he help his daughter?Much to surprise, he saw the bruises on Barbara's lips. He also knew that Jeremy and Randy had a fight and were taken to the police station at noon.At that time, Steven was still wondering why Jeremy would offend Keaton at the junction. But now when he saw Barbara's bruised lips, he was certain that Randy bullied Barbara abd Jeremy was taking revenge for her, which made Steven raving mad."Barbara, I will settle the score with Keaton.Barbara darted a look at him. "Mr Cook, my business has nothing to do with you. You had better not waste time and go back to accompany your wife and daughter!""Barbara, I'm here to tell you something about Jeremy" in front of Barbara, Steven didn't seem like the exalted secretary at all.Barbara's expression softened when she heard him mentioning Jer
He really dotted on Emily and even came to pick a dress for her himself. Barbara mocked herself bitterly. When had he ever been so considerate to herself in the past? She was ready to brush past him with a deadpan look, but Dexter stopped her He stared at her and said, "I want to hear your explanation" "What?" Barbara was stunned "Barbara, why did you ask Kinsey to say that?" Barbara only realized now that Dexter probably heard what Kinsey said to Emily and came here to confront her. She remained silent and felt a chill in her heart. She was ready to leave but Dexter grabbed her hand, "I won't allow you to bully my woman!" "Sir, what do you want!" Barbara didn't even bother to say his name. "Apologize! I want you to apologize to Emily" Dexter clutched Barbara's hand, his fingers turning a little pale. The apathy in Barbara's eyes struck his nerve. She treated him like a total stranger after three years. How heartless could this woman be? Barbara suddenly was choked with emotions
The head of the station smoothed things over and asked her to keep it to herself.Kinsey spent painstaking efforts on this show fora long time and never anticipated such a thing. She was also a straightforward person. While feeling aggrieved, she refused to admit defeat, "let's set this aside for a while first. I will find more sponsorship. I can go to the grassroots if that doesn't work!"The head of the station smiled bitterly and said, "Kinsey, who else in San Francisco would dare to provide you sponsor's after this?"Barbara didn't know about Kinsey's demotion until she came in for rehearsal. Knowing Dexter was behind this, she was so angry that she dialed the phone without thinking...She realized that she dialed the number he had been using three years ago which he might have changed already. Surprisingly, however, the call was connected. She heard Dexter's voice on the other end, "Hello?"Barbara was even more furious upon hearing Dexter's voice. She scolded. "Are you still a hu
The car stopped in front of City Hall. Jeremy got out of the car and led Barbara into the building.The two went to a meeting room and saw Dexter right after they pushed the door open. Dexter wore a well pressed suit and brought his assistant John with him. There were also CEOs and assistants from other companies that participated in the bidding. Barbara stood behind Jeremy after he sat down since other assistants were standing. Surprising, Jeremy pulled her to sit down next to him Seeing how Jeremy arranged for Barbara to sit next to him, Dexter's eyes darkened. Jeremy noticed the change of Dexter's expression and whispered, "Lorenzo seems to be quiet hostile to me""Is that so?" Barbara glanced at Dexter's direction. Dexter's charming eyes stared at her without blinking. Barbara looked away indifferently."Yeah, I always feel that Lorenzo looks at you in a strange way. Do you really not know each other?""I don't know him!""That's weird! Is it because of the fight between me and h
Looking at Emily's shameless look, Barbara sneered, "Since you know the consequences, why do you keep provoking me?" "I..." Emily's face was pale. She was startled to see Barbara at the city hall and didn't think through it. Now she had offended her "Let me tell you, Emily. I'm not a pushover. I don't care about the wealth and status that you and your mistress mom are obsessed about. I am still Barbara even without Steven. You're different. You're two parasites who would be nothing without Steven. Therefore, you better not provoke me. I'm warning you! Take a detour and stay away from me the next time you see me. I don't mind sending you and your mom to the front page if you dare to come here and piss me off again!" Barbara's scolding mads Emily hate her beyond words. She wanted to fight back but didn't have the courage. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. With a pitiful expression on her face, she said in a fearful tone, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Miss Edwards. I will
He turned around without any hesitation. Emily stood not far away abd looked at him pitifully. He suppressed his frustration and walked towards Emily His voice was gentle but there was no warmth in his eyes. "What are you doing here?" Emily stayed close on purpose and heard Dexter's vicious attitude towards Barbara. She was rejoicing deep down but didn't express it. "I came to find my dad for something. Dexter, Miss Edwards probably only said that because she was in a bad mood. Please don't take her too seriously. Even though she's a vicious woman who killed our baby, so many years have passed and I have moved on. Let's forgive her!" She believed Dexter would be moved by her righteous performance and treat her to lunch for her kindness. But she was wrong. Dexter's eyes only became more unfathomable after her speech. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "The meeting is over. Go and see Mr Cook, I have something to do!" Emily's heart sank. She squeezed out a smile. "Dexter i
Steven was very satisfied with Deborah's promise. "In addition to that, there's one more thing I have to tell you. After Emily abd Dexter get married, I will leave all the property of our family to Barbara as compensation"."I didn't marry you for the property and Emily will never fight with Barbara for that" Deborah answered readily. The property of the Cook's family was nothing compared with Dexter's. Only a fool like Barbara would give up for Dexter."Dad, I only want Dexter and nothing else" Emily also made a statement. Steven was gratified by the understanding of his wife and daughter. "Sorry for putting you through this!""I'm willing to do anything as long as dad and my sister are happy" Emily acted particularly magnanimous, and her gesture moved Steven more. "I will have more free time for a few days. You can tell Dexter thar the two families should sit down and discuss the details of the engagement!"Deborah and her daughter exchanged a look their eyes full of complacency.Ba
