As I looked out the car window, there was a moment when it felt like tears were streaming down, yet my face was clean and dry.

Even my vision was remarkably clear.

Just as I got home, the real estate agent suddenly called to tell me that a buyer had decided to purchase the apartment at the Lake Garden.

And they were generous, not negotiating the price at all.

I was asked to go over and meet with the buyer. If everything was fine, we could sign the contract and proceed with the process.

On my way to the Lake Garden, I kept thinking that if this apartment had found a buyer just a little bit earlier, the Charlotte Jeweley wouldn't have had to rely on the RF Group Group's investment.

Unfortunately, there were no "ifs."

However, having a big tree to lean on has its pros and cons.

Arriving at the Lake Garden, I was surprised to see the "buyer" standing next to the agent. "Mr. Brown, it's you... you're interested in this apartment?"

"Yes, it's me."

    Jane and I pondered the situation but couldn't figure out who would be doing such a kind deed."Never mind, let's not dwell on it. It's good news to get orders when we're starting a business," Jane said optimistically, stretching her back. "Someone's coming for an interview soon. Are you ready to join me?""Sure," I agreed.With so much to do for the new company's opening and only Jane and I working around the clock, we couldn't possibly finish everything.Hiring new staff was an urgent task.During interviews, Jane asked the questions while I simply observed and would discuss the decisions with her later.The first few candidates seemed okay, but I couldn't pinpoint what was good about them.Then, a young woman walked in, slightly bowing to us and sitting down politely. "Hello, I'm Megan Smith..."Her innocent appearance seemed somewhat familiar.As she spoke, she would occasionally glance at me, her eyes bright and moist.Jane found it amusing and asked, "Do you know Ms. Wi

    We could only hire more as time went on.In the afternoon, while I was focused on designing new spring collections, I heard voices arguing outside. One of them was unmistakably familiar, and the other wasn't completely unknown either.I just opened the door and was about to step out when I heard Jane say, "Don't you understand? I said we won't do business with you! Designing clothes for you would dirty Charlotte's hands!""Humph!" The response was a cold and arrogant snort, as expected from Bethany. "Then let me make it clear. Whether you want to or not, you will do it."Only Bethany would be so domineering."I'm won’t accept orders from you. What are you going to do about it?"Jane wasn't intimidated, spreading her hands, "Or you can call the police. Oh right, you'll need to call the dog catchers, not 110, to avoid wasting police resources."She never lost in the art of insulting.Bethany was furious as she gritted her teeth. "Are you sure you won't accept my order? Fine, I'll

    When Mrs. Shaw appeared in the office, her chest was visibly heaving, indicating she was quite agitated. It was clear to anyone that she cared deeply for her daughter, Bethany. The concern she showed was akin to that of protecting a precious gem.Seeing that she has someone to back her up, Bethany pouted and looked like she wanted to cry, "Mom, I just wanted to help her with her business after her recent divorce, and she and her friend actually called me a dog!"Mrs. Shaw furrowed her brows and glared at me with anger. "Charlotte, don't be so ungrateful! Apologize to my daughter!""Like mother, like daughter."Jane couldn't stand it anymore. "What do you mean by ungrateful? Who's begging your daughter to take care of our business? I already said we wouldn't take her order, but she insisted on making a scene!""Who do you think you are? Do you think you’re worthy of talking to me?"Mrs. Shaw disdainfully dismissed Jane's words and turned her threatening gaze back to me, "Charlotte

    It was one thing to be intentionally humiliating, but she's wrapping it up so nicely. She presented a picture of deep affection, but I still clearly remember the candid words she exchanged with Ryan in the hospital room.Mrs. Shaw was clearly swayed by this performance, tapping her daughter's forehead in frustration. "Why are you so obsessed with Ryan?"Bethany smiled obediently. "He's such a good man. Some people don't appreciate him, but I should, right?"‘Such a hypocrite.’I found it amusing but was not inclined to argue with her. I just wanted to wrap things up quickly and asked again, "So, can you tell me your requirements now?""It must be noble!" She threw out her most important requirement with an air of command and continued, "It should have lots of diamonds, sparkling everywhere, with a collar lined with Astrian White pearls, something that looks very expensive. Oh, and it must have rubies, I love red..."By the end, I felt a bit overwhelmed.Diamonds, Astrian White p

    When she saw him arrive, Bethany immediately restrained her previously sharp and unpleasant expression, though she still seemed agitated, muttering, "You always help outsiders!"Mrs. Shaw also softened her stance compared to before and asked, "Why?""I told my grandmother I would send her a few sets of custom-made clothes." Frank smiled. "This weekend, I'm taking Charlotte back to listen to what my grandmother wants. If you bully her and she refuses to talk to me, how am I supposed to explain things to my grandmother?"Upon hearing those words, Bethany's expression turned fierce. "You're taking her to meet Madam Smith?""Does it concern you?" Frank was terse and didn't bother to say more.Bethany snorted coldly. "Madam Smith always values rules and reputation. How could she allow a bitch like her...""Bethany, if my grandmother can tolerate someone like you, Ms. Wilson should definitely be liked by her."Even in front of Mrs. Shaw, Frank didn't spare Bethany any face.Mrs. Shaw

    "Huh?" I was puzzled, "Waiting for me to finish work?"What the hell is he up to now?"I had a friend drop me off just now. I don't have a car." As he spoke, he extended his wrist towards me to show the time. "You're about to finish work soon. Can you give me a lift?""I'll call a taxi for you." I took out my phone, but he frowned and said softly, "I never travel in taxis."‘Alright then. It's only natural for a prince to have a prince's airs.’I had nothing to say. "Then you can wait here."I turned and went back into my office. It wasn't long before Jane came over.She gave me a knowing look, "Why is that prince from the Smith family staying here and not leaving?""Waiting for a lift," I replied helplessly.Jane sat in the chair opposite me, resting her elbows on the desk and supporting her face with her hands."I just saw that the mother and daughter seem to be quite afraid of him. Maybe you should try to improve your relationship with him? If something happens, he could

    My first reaction was a moment of bewilderment, followed by amusement. ‘Vicious?’When they kidnapped me and left me injured from head to toe, they didn't reflect on their own actions. Now, I merely had Zack replicate my injuries onto Bethany. It seemed that they have a different set of standards for others.So the daughters from affluent families were more precious and the ordinary people were inferior? The two sets of standards were really unreasonable."Are you going to speak or not? Feeling guilty, are you? Fine, since you've played the part of the villain, don't blame me for retaliating!" Mrs. Shaw continued to shout angrily on the other end of the line.The phone was connected via the car's Bluetooth, so Frank naturally heard everything clearly.I barely had a chance to speak before Frank started, "Mrs. Shaw, it's unfair to accuse Ms. Wilson. I've been at her company all afternoon just to get a lift and haven't seen her associating with anyone suspicious."With just a few w

    ‘Does he have a personal vendetta with Bethany?’He lowered his head and his tone was casual. "Don't flatter yourself. I just happened to want to deal with her too."I readily agreed, "Alright then, today's matter is on you."Not only could I get revenge on Bethany, but I could also distance myself from the situation. Why not?Frank glanced at me sideways, a chuckle escaped his throat. "Charlotte, you really know how to take advantage of opportunities, don't you?""Kind of!" I smiled. "By the way, when did you find out about this?"Frank looked at me as if I were naive. "Do you think Zack would take action without informing me first?"I frowned and thought about it, then understood. "I see."Zack would have informed Frank about it. If Frank gave his approval, it would mean Zack was doing Frank a favor, especially since I had requested his support that day. If something went wrong, Frank would cover for him.If Frank intervened, Zack would avoid the risk of retaliation from the

    Knock knock—There was a knock at the door.Zachary stood up to open it.Raymond handed him a chicken pizza.He sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right and, gathering some courage, she asked, "Sir, you didn’t have anything for dinner. Should I have the hotel bring something over?"Zachary nodded and mentioned a few dishes.Raymond agreed and went to instruct the hotel.He happened to run into Ross on his way back and they chatted."I have no idea what Miss Greenwood might want. Mr. Collins doesn’t even know what he likes to eat himself, but he remembers what she likes."Ross, eating a sandwich, said, "Doesn’t Mr. Collins like roast chicken?"He remembered that when Miss Greenwood brought food to the Mr. Collins’s house last time, she had mentioned it.Raymond shot him a look. "You’re a blockhead. That’s what Miss Greenwood likes. Now, the things that Mr. Collins like are because they’re what Miss Greenwood likes."Ross blinked. "Oh."Raymond was rendered speechless.

    Jane said, "This is not something you should be doing.""I caused the injury, so I should be the one to handle it.""I'll do it myself!"Zachary held her hands, "You can't see the injury, you have long nails as well. What if you hurt yourself again? I think I should apply the medicine."Jane felt helpless."Zachary, I’ll just ask you one thing, can you understand what I’m saying?""I’ve already ordered pizza. It’ll be delivered soon."‘As expected, he doesn’t understand what I said,’ thought Jane.Jane was no match for Zachary in terms of strength or words, so she ended up crying.Zachary stopped.Jane immediately broke free from his hands and sat on the other side of the bed."Do you only feel happy when you see me in pain?"Zachary pursed his lips. "No.""Then why do you insist on forcing me to do things I don't want to do? I’m a person, not some item that you can do whatever you want to.""Is that how you see me?" Zachary looked at her, his eyes darkened slightly. "I l

    "I was just handling some matters, but I can't tell you. Please understand."Jane seemed to believe him and nodded. "I see."Raymond also nodded. "That's right."Jane smiled. "You were handling matters, but what about the others?""They also have their own matters to deal with.""So..." Jane’s gaze suddenly became sharp. "You all went off to work, but there's no one guarding the hotel entrance? Aren’t you worried that while he’s in bed with me, his enemies might come and kill him? After all, the bed is when a man is most vulnerable. You’re a man, so you should understand that, right?"For a moment, Raymond seemed distracted, as if he had seen his Mr. Collins casually asking him what mistake he had made.Then, with a cold tone, he would be sent off to Afrealia, just like Roy.The more you say, the more mistakes you make. He stopped explaining and simply said."Miss Greenwood, it’s not safe outside. You should stay in the hotel and wait for Mr. Collins."Jane didn’t believe the

    He placed the pillow behind her waist and asked gently, "What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone prepare it."Jane glared at him and said, "Get out!"Zachary took her hand and said, "There’s a banquet tomorrow. Come with me."Jane pulled her hand back and replied coldly, "You’re really sick.""Yes, and you’re the reason I”m sick."Jane raised her hand, intending to hit him. "Get out!"Zachary grabbed her wrist and smiled.Jane felt that he was seriously ill and decided it was better to just leave.But as soon as she lifted the blanket, a cold wind blew, and she quickly pulled it back up."Turn around!"Her teeth were clenched in anger, wishing she could bite him.Zachary's gaze slid over her body. "What are you hiding?""I..."Jane covered his mouth. "Don’t be such a pervert."Zachary held her hand. "The banquet tomorrow has to do with the purpose of your trip. Are you really not going?""How do you know what I came here for?"Zachary didn’t answer, just looked at he

    Annie saw the red marks on his neck as he moved.There was also a bite mark on his Adam's apple.Both marks told her of the wildness he had shared with Jane just moments ago.The thing she feared most had happened."And not even a day apart," Zachary said again, his voice was cold enough to send shivers down one’s spine.Annie met his sharp gaze, instinctively taking a step back.But then she felt it was wrong and moved forward to stand in front of him."What are you saying? I don’t understand," she said, reaching out to grab his arm.Zachary turned sideways to avoid her, and Ross immediately restrained Annie, kicking her in the knee and forcing her to kneel on the ground."Zachary!"Annie had never been so humiliated before.Since childhood, everyone had always revolved around her.She was given everything she wanted.Without speaking, people would rush to her, handing her things that were close to her heart.Zachary was no different, he had been delivered to her by her

    "I had wanted to repay you before, but you refused. Turns out, you were saving it for such a situation. Zachary, is it fun to fool me around?"Zachary lifted his head, and his dark eyes were filled with deep desire.He had been restraining himself, and the veins on his arm were bulging.But this time, he wanted to ask her for a favor."Am I really so unworthy in your eyes?"It wasn’t that he was completely unacceptable, but after all, he had previously forced her against her will."You can’t have lost contact with your subordinates.""Nelana isn’t my turf. There are people here who don’t want me here."As for his business matters, Jane didn’t want to know or analyze anything.She simply said, "Anyway, I’m not suited to help you solve the current problem. If you want, you can get some cold water, and I’ll go buy some medicine for you."The corners of Zachary’s eyes drooped slightly, and he looked almost pitiful."Is it really that hard to help me?"Jane nodded. "I think we’r

    Before Jane finished speaking, she watched as Zachary slowly stood up on his own.But then he suddenly leaned towards her.She quickly held him up.Zachary rested his head on her shoulder, his breath hot and heavy against her neck, so hot it felt alarming."Wait, weren't the people around you supposed to be sticking with you at all times? How did you end up like this, all alone?"She heard the man's voice, weak and faint."Take me back to the hotel..."Jane was really at her wit's end.He didn't even tell her the name of the hotel. How was she supposed to know where to take him?In the end, with no other choice, she reached into his pocket to find his phone.She searched both side pockets of his pants, but there was no phone.He was only wearing a white shirt, no coat.That meant his phone wasn't on him.No wonder he hadn't contacted his subordinates.But that didn't make sense either—his subordinates were supposed to be with him at all times.Before she could figure it

    "People are really into these things now. I often see them on live streams," said Jane.Dominic poured her a cup of barley tea. "The houses people want aren’t just any ordinary houses."Jane knew buying a house wasn't easy. It had taken her some time to secure her little place.If it weren't for Charlotte helping her out, she probably wouldn't have gotten it so quickly."Don’t worry. If I like what I see this time, when I go back and combine it with our brand, we'll promote it. You’ll be able to make money and buy a house.""That sounds good. I know how influential your brand is."The two of them chatted happily in the private room.In the room next door, however, the atmosphere was cold and tense.Annie, seemingly unaware, picked up some food for Zachary and even peeled an apple for him."I grew up in Nelana. I have lung issues, so I’m not really suited to Jeswood’s weather.""This restaurant has been around for almost 100 years. It’s a Nelana specialty. Try this, the apples

    At the hospital.After confirming that everything was fine, Zachary immediately went to the airport.Frank glanced at the time. "Leaving overnight?"Zachary nodded, a look of exhaustion between his brows.Frank took Charlotte and left the hospital with him, only to see two cars.He asked, "Is Annie going with you?"Zachary nodded again.Frank was confused. "What kind of game is this?""Let's go."Zachary didn't answer, opened the car door, and bent down to sit inside.After the two cars drove off, Charlotte asked, "Last night, did you interfere too much?"Frank touched his chin. "I shouldn't have...""Shouldn't have what?""Can't I tell who he likes?"The two of them went home to pack and then went to their respective companies.Charlotte noticed that Jane's dark circles under her eyes couldn't even be covered by foundation. She asked, "Did you go clubbing last night?"Jane shook her head. "I couldn't sleep, maybe the jet lag still hasn't passed."Charlotte immediately
