"Christian!"Christian turned around and saw Grace walking towards him."Let me be your female companion tonight." Grace's voice was charming."Why?" Christian frowned."Because you don't have a female partner. You have to bring a female partner to attend this dinner party," Grace smiled.Christian frowned at her again, "I can attend it without a female partner!"Grace was taken aback by his words. He was right. He was Christian Maddox, and he could attend any party he wanted to attend!Even if he didn’t have a female companion, who would dare to stop him from entering?And the dinner was held in a hotel owned by the Maddox Group...Grace was embarrassed but still didn't want to give up, "Now that I am already here, why don't you take me in? I have been preparing for this dinner for several days! I can’t go in without you." Grace deliberately tugged the hem of her revealing dress to show Christian her beautiful body.This pretentious action made Christian even more disgusted.
Christian took Jessica to say hello to Duke Louis. After exchanging a few greetings, they started to talk about business matters. Jessica then politely walked away alone first.Soon after, Jessica heard a man's voice from not far away. "Miss, you are very fascinating. I have noticed you for some time..."Jessica felt some familiarity with the man's voice and his words, so she took a glance at him. She saw a European-looking man staring at a foreign girl. "Come have a drink with me, sweetie~"“No. Thanks."The girl politely refused the man in French.But the man kept bugging her. He asked her who she was here with and why wouldn’t she take a drink at a cocktail party and so on. The girl was rather annoyed but she didn't know what to do. Jessica curved up the corner of her mouth. She walked over and said to the man, "Sir, here we meet again."The man darted a glance at Jessica and his expression changed immediately. "Mr. Maddox… Today you are Mr. Maddox's partner again?"Jessica
Somehow, Grace got into the dinner party. When she saw that Jessica got along well with Vanessa, she was resentful. However, she didn't have the guts to stir up trouble.Jessica saw that Grace hovered in the doorway for a while and left finally.When Christian was dealing with something ahead, she asked Ethan who was behind her, "Do you know the Louis family well?""Mrs. Maddox, what do you mean...?" Ethan was respectful."Does Duke Louis have many children? How about Grace's position in the family?"Ethan nodded nonstop. "Duke Louis has two sons. I hear that he has five or six daughters at least. He loves Vanessa the most and always has her around. He doesn't value others."Jessica nodded slightly.No wonder Grace tried her best to be popular. It turned out that she wanted to be independent. Although she declared that she was from an abroad royal family, she didn't achieve any success. It was because she didn't get enough support...Christian had been busy all the time. Jessic
Listening to Christian’s persistent insinuation, Jessica lowered her eyes, and her cheeks reddened all the way to her neck.Seeing that she didn’t respond, he assumed that she acquiesced. The emotions in Christian’s eyes surged and he immediately embraced her into the elevator.The elevator ascended.His big palm stroked her back, and his scorching lips fell upon hers.She was too shy to lift her head. Clenching her elbows, she muttered, “There’s a camera...”He chuckled, and his deep voice resounded in her ears, “Well, I will let you go first…”When they exited the elevator, he supported the back of her head with his large palm and kissed her. He maneuvered her body familiarly towards the door of the suite while kissing her.Tick—The door was opened and then shut.Within a short while, the two confronted each other at the door. Jessica suddenly grew a little awkward and decided to grab the chance to sneak away, “Well, I’ll take a bath first…”The corner of his mouth curved
The next morning, when Christian moved slightly, Jessica woke up.He put on his nightgown casually and was about to go out. When he looked back, he saw Jessica was wrapping herself up with conservative clothes. He asked with suspicion in his eyes, "Why do you wear so many clothes?""Are you sure you want me to appear in front of Wade in this dress?"She pointed to the nightgown on the bed which was revealing…Not till then did Christian remembered Wade was in his home. He opened the door with a calm face and walked out. Then he saw Wade eating breakfast as expected."Why are you still here?" His voice was cold.Wade pursed his lips and said, "I will leave soon."After a pause, Wade felt aggrieved, so he said, "Chris, it is you who told me not to go home and gave me the room key here. But you… Don’t you know that I’ve been single for a long time? I can’t see that kind of scene."Christian glared at Wade after rolling his eyes and, and Wade fell silent immediately.At this time
Wade hesitated for a few seconds. Alice's question was ambiguous. How should he interpret and answer it?Jessica was also a little surprised. She had known Alice liked Christian, but it seemed that she was also unhappy to see her being close to Wade."Get out of the car right now!" Alice pointed at Jessica angrily.Jessica said helplessly, "I came to ask you about the result. If you give me the result, I will get out of the car immediately."Alice compressed her lips tightly and quickly operated on her phone, saying, "The recording has been sent to you! I did you a favor! Now, get off the car!"Jessica glanced at the message she received on the phone and calmly stepped out of the car.Although Alice was angry, she was eager to get into the car. Looking at her back, Jessica said, "But I still have to warn you that I’ve already married into the Maddox family. I allow you to worship and like my husband unilaterally. But once your behavior crosses the line, I swear I will give you tr
"Hammer, did you think of something?" Gail asked anxiously.Serena obviously had an ulterior motive while working in the TV station. She had stayed in Hammer's group for two years. There must be a profit in it."She didn't sabotage my work."Hammer frowned, "But I think I know why she helped Paige."Both Jessica and Gail waited curiously. Gail asked, "Isn't she bought over by Paige?"Hammer shook his head, "I guess she works for Cain."Jessica raised her eyebrows slightly. This surprised her a bit."In the past two years, Serena and my family have been very close. She and my wife have also become good friends. They often have meals and go shopping together. I just realized that in the past two years, my family has often cooperated with the Smith Group. We have invested a lot in the new projects of the Smith Group, but those cooperation projects are not going well recently.""You mean, Serena has been putting in a good word for the Smith Group in front of your family?""She has
Just as Gail was about to ask Jessica about the story behind the scene, a producer-director came over. He said to them, "Jessica, Gail, we've just coordinated with a couple of the guests for their shooting schedules for the Adventure Show. The shooting of the next episode may need to be advanced." "To when?" Jessica asked. "If it's okay with you guys, I'll go book the flight tickets now. We'd better go to the shooting place tomorrow." The producer-director showed the guests’ schedule to Jessica. Jessica nodded in agreement. Then she turned to Gail, who was grinning. "I'm single, so I’m definitely fine with that. I can pack my bags and leave immediately. It's all up to you and Christian. Maybe you guys have other plans." "What other plans would we have? Go to book the flight." Jessica said. Then the producer-director immediately went to book the tickets."Grace would also come for the next episode?" Gail was surprised, looking through the guests' schedule. "Isn't Christian unav
