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
Nathan sighed aside. "Barbara, come back if it's too hard on you. I can support you and Eden" .. "Nathan, I don't want to owe you too much. Do you understand?" "I'm more than willing to." "But I can't. Nathan, you deserve the love of a better woman!" Nathan was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "Barbara and I will welcome you back anytime if you're tired out there. I will always wait for you here " Barbara spent ten days with Eden. She only found that there had been a tremendous change when she returned to San Francisco. First of all, something happened to Keaton's son Randy Someone called the TV station and reported Randy for using drugs. The reporters followed the police to arrest him. To everyone's surprise, what they saw was a shocking scene. Randy who had overdosed, mutilated himself. When the police knocked open the door of his apartment, they found that he was unconscious with a knife in his hand and the floor was covered in blood. The police immediately sent
Deborah was having treatment in the beauty salon. She was also shocked by the news. "I will go home right away and ask my husband!"Deborah called Steven and asked him about the bidding m Steven was a little impatient, "Why did you get involved? The decision was made by the municipal committee."Steven was right. It was indeed the municipal committee that picked the Golden Age Group as the winner. The Black family had always been investing and developing abroad. Of course the city opened the door for them when they returned to invest in San Francisco.However, if Steve and, the secretary, were willing to fight for Dexter, the Golden Age Group wouldn't be the winner. But he would never tell Deborah this.Deborah noticed the irritation in Steven's tint. She knew Steven's temper very well, so she had to hang up the phone for now.Emily also rushed back after receiving the news. Panting,she asked as soon as she stepped inside, "mom, what should we do?'"Let's wait until your father comes b
After moving to San Francisco to live with her uncle, Barbara changes her surname. She didn't even have any contact with Steven in the next ten years or so.Although Steven was busy at work at that time, he found time to visit her but was rejected by her everytime. Barbara was stubborn as a mule. She even threatened to suicide if Steven disturbed her again.The father and daughter that were so close to each other had become enemies, which broke Stevens heart. After that, he no longer attempted to reunite with Barbara.Later, Steven and his family's moved to Asbury City as the secretary. Emily who was attending the middle school affiliated with A university, came back and said she saw Barbara. They only knew then that Barbara was admitted to A university.Steven went to visit Barbara after he heard the news, but he was cold shouldered by her again.Thomas was the one who gave Barbara away during her wedding with Dexter.Throughout their marriage, Dexter never known that Barbara's real f
"Secretary are you alright?""I'm alright!" Steven answered. The driver was tall and strong. He was relieved to hear that the secretary was okay, but he didn't intend to let go of Jeremy. He reached out and was ready to grab the person who pushed Steven. Steven stopped him at once when he recognized the attacker.But Jeremy didn't appreciate it. He was in a hood mood today. After winning the bid, he took out all the subordinate to a restaurant to have a feast and only realized towards the end that Barbara was not present. David told him that Barbara was not feeling well and went home early.Jeremy felt like something was missing in his heart. So he asked David to take everyone to the club and drove Barbara home himself.When he arrived, he happened to see Steven's car driving into the hall. He was astounded when he saw Steven.What was he doing here? Jeremy didn't drive the car in. He walked into the hall and saw Steven talking with Barbara. All he could hear were words like "apologies
