Joe stayed behind him quietly, not daring to say a word.

“Tell the director of human resources to search for a new project director. Replace him as soon as possible. The Fergusons doesn't want people who can’t make progress.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Get me my car keys.”

“Huh?” Joe was surprised because he did not know what was going on.

Blake paused his steps and looked at him coldly. “I said get me my car keys. Do you want me to repeat myself?”

“Y-yes, sir.” Joe dared not disobey the tyrant. He got the order and quickly headed to the office to grab the car keys.

‘What kinda tip is this, big sister? Am I really going to get a double bonus this season?’

Blake started the car and drove home. When he arrived home, Ms. Susan was cleaning the house with the vacuum cleaner.

Blake never liked noises in the house and Ms. Susan knew that. When he came back, she noticed that he was in a bad mood, so she quickly switched the vacuum cleaner off.

He went around the house and then returned

    Dean looked at his empty embrace as the sensation of her waist lingered in his arms. Her waist was slim. If she did not wear an oversized coat, it might have been even slimmer. He cleared his throat to clear his fantasy away and asked out of concern, “Jessica, I sense that you are having some problems. If you don’t mind, you can share them with me.” While her being Blake’s wife was no longer a secret, it was not exactly public knowledge either. Just when Jessica wanted to reject Dean’s offer, her waist was hugged by someone from behind, frightening her to her core. She looked around and saw Blake looking at Dean in a hostile manner. “My wife will share her problems with me. Thank you for your concern.” Caught by surprise, Dean looked at Jessica and asked, “Wife?” “What’s wrong? Didn’t she tell you she’s married?” Blake squinted his eyes at Dean before his sharp gaze landed on Jessica. He tightened his arm around her waist even more. Jessica frowned a bit, but she maintained

    In the end, Jessica followed Blake to his car. The teachers were at the entrance to send her off, and a lot of them did not even know what kind of car he drove. All they knew was that the car looked nice and must be expensive. “Whoa, Ms. Scott’s husband is this rich?” “The sleekness of the car alone shows how expensive it is.” “Maybe…Ms. Scott’s husband is a chauffeur for some big boss?” The car drove off, but Blake’s car accidentally went over a pothole in the road, causing the vehicle to jolt a little. Blake looked even gloomier. On the other hand, Dean watched the car drive away from his sight. The disappointment that he tried holding back slowly emerged again. ‘So, she’s married…No wonder she kept her distance from me.’ …Blake was already angry before he went to see Jessica while she was not in a good mood either. The moment they reached home, she went back to her room. Blake drank some cold water from the refrigerator, but even the icy cold water failed to exti

    Jane did not have any patients at the moment, so she held the phone by clamping it between her ear and shoulder while filing her nails. She said, “I can’t simply reveal the patient’s details to you. It’s against my moral code. Anyway, I’m busy. Talk to you later.” On the other end, Joe looked at his phone blankly after his sister hung up on him. He was also in a foul mood. As his sister, Jane barely did anything for her little brother other than giving him constant trouble. However, Joe was a bright man, so he was able to pick up some clues from her words despite the conversation being cut short. She had said “patient”. Jane was a gynecologist, so her patients could only be women. Joe used the limited clues and related them to a ton of other matters. Then, he discarded all the unlikely possibilities and started to piece what was left in his mind together. In the end, he came up with a single conclusion: Mrs. Ferguson. After all, his boss was quite okay with other women except

    She thought this would be the chance for her to approach Blake and win his heart. After all, she ought to make him notice her strengths. While Kim was having a little drama of her own in her mind, Blake was still frustrated about the Spanish project, thus he did not even notice her expression. Tourism was a new field that the Ferguson Corporation had ventured into a few years back. In two years, the company made its way into the North American market, but it was far from enough. Tourism was the hottest pie in the block and the Ferguson Corporation could not afford to be slower than its competitors, only faster. It ought to occupy the market as soon as possible and monopolize it. He grunted, “Hmm, give it to me.” Kim smiled and walked closer to Blake with the documents. She opened the documents in front of him while subtly making her way to his side. While he was looking at the documents, she made sure he was close enough to smell her perfume and notice her voluptuous body.

    Blake came home a little late today. After dinner, Jessica was playing flashcards with Winson in the living room. In the past, whenever he had to work overtime or engage in social activities, he would give her a call or at least a text. However, ever since they argued, he only informed Ms. Susan. Every time Jessica pointed at the picture on the card, Winson was able to accurately say the name and even spell it in English. Jessica and Blake were still not talking, so when he put two big baskets beside her, she was shocked. She looked up at him in confusion. “Gifts from a client. If you find a use for them, take them. Otherwise, just give them to someone else.” Blake then sat down on the couch and removed his tie. His face had exhaustion smeared all over it. Jessica unwrapped one of the baskets. Winson was also interested, so he crawled into her lap and his petite hands reached out for the basket. “What is that? I want.” The delicate packaging was opened, and inside the b

    “Come here,” Blake commanded. Jessica was surprised, but she stood up. While she was walking to him, he switched off the iPad and tapped on the bed beside him.“Sit.” When she sat down beside him, he lay down on her lap and closed his eyes. He said softly, “Give me a massage.” He was always like this whenever he had a headache. He was like a tiger having a toothache. While he might be fierce, he could barely bite, which made him look pitiful. Jessica did as she was told and massaged him. His hair was still damp after the shower, so she took her hairdryer out from the drawer and dried it for him. As her slender fingers were moving swiftly across his black hair, the smell of aftershave and shampoo tickled her nose. After massaging him for a while, he suddenly grabbed her by the wrist. Jessica looked down at him and he said, “Are you done being mad?” Jessica looked down at him. Two pairs of black eyes stared at each other while her heart was pounding fiercely. ‘Mad? Don’t

    “Ms. Jackson, your tea.” A secretary walked in, delivering Kim a cup of freshly brewed tea. “Thank you.” Kim smiled and reached out to the cup. When the bracelet slipped down her fair forearm, the silver dazzled under the light. The secretary noticed the bracelet and she exclaimed in envy, “Wow, what a beautiful bracelet!” As Kim glanced at her bracelet, she tried her best to hold her delight back while beaming gently. “I like it too.” The secretary praised her bracelet again before she went back to work. After she left, Kim curled her lips into a smirk. She had a sip of tea and then sized up the bracelet on her wrist, looking even happier than before. When she put the cup of tea down and softly touched the emerald charm on it, her smile became even sweeter. ‘Tiffany and Co.’s latest design! It seems like he’s paying attention.’ Joe came into the lounge and saw Kim admiring the bracelet on her wrist. His face twitched at the sight of her infatuated look. He had heard th

    Kim mastered several types of language, so she was able to communicate with the Spanish consul fluently during the Mid-Autumn Gala. She even came up with a decent proposal for the project. At least, she was a lot better than the lousy project director. However, as Blake’s right-hand man, Joe knew what he should do and what he should not do. He said, “I think I’ll pass. We all know how capable you are, Ms. Jackson. Anyway, I still have some work to do, so please have a seat.” Kim was slightly disappointed, but she maintained her smile. “Okay, sorry for bothering you.” Joe turned around and subtly grinned. ‘Hmph, Kim Jackson, your impatience makes you really ugly. Do you know that? Don’t blame me for not reminding you. If Mr. Ferguson knows how free you are, I wonder if he’ll still be this patient with you.’ After he left, Kim’s smile faded. She was a smart person, so of course, she understood Joe’s hint for her to leave. Joe might have been Blake’s assistant in name, but h

    This was his daughter, who had half of his blood on him. It was said that the daughter was like her father, and this child would look more and more like him in the future.This was his work.Mo Feitong was very satisfied with the person he created. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. When he held her in his arms and looked at her, he laughed foolishly."Blue carp, look at you. You knead the mud every day.

    "What if you add his surname?""Mo, Mo, Mo Xiao?" Jane came to her senses and tried hard to hold back her laughter.Indeed, such a good name, coupled with Mo Feitong's surname, had no meaning of blessing at all. No wonder Lan Li disliked it."Even now, the two of them are still arguing over names. Old Mr. Mo is urging to them register. Alas, the baby's completion of its first month of life dinner is about to start, and the name on the invitation card is still empty..."Jane smiled and listened to him.In the past three years, they had no contacts with phone, app, or emails, not even a letter on paper.However, after three years, they didn't seem to have been separated for a long time at all.

    At the last moment, Pei Xian gave up. Wasn't she resentful?As everyone's faces lit up, Jane's lips twitched. "I can only thank him."She saw him putting on the ring to Yan Ling and could understand him. She could only thank him for agreeing to marry Yan Ling at that time.Putting aside the fact that he didn't have time to think about it at that time, it was the last request of a dying person and her last hope.It was she, Jane, who owed Yan Ling.

    If she had not been born, as long as she took the blame for feticide, those people would have been able to live well.They would not know each other. If they did not know each other, they would have a different life.Jane fixed her eyes on Lian Liang and unconsciously tightened her grip, as if she wanted to crush her shoulder.Lian Liang looked at Jane's ferocious face and was so scared that she forgot to cry. She sobbed again and again and didn't dare to cry out because of the pain in her shoulder. She just frowned tightly.They looked at each other for a long time as if they were confronting each other.Jane's throat was stuck. After a long time, her face softened and tears trickled down from her eyes. With difficulty, she said, "But so many people... because of you, because of me, they lost their lives... only the two of us have to bear all of this... ... we have no reason to cry. We have no right to blame anyone...""There is nowhere for us to retreat to..."Jane felt a fire

    The ward was empty. There was only his voice, and no one responded to him.Glancing at Jane, Zhang Yeting knew that he had finished what he wanted to say, so he turned around and walked towards the door.His trip to the United States this time was actually to convince Zuo Yiming to write his will first, but he didn't expect that...At this time, Joe stopped him and said, "You'll report the truth to that person, won't you?"Joe picked up the document, walked up to Zhang Yeting, and said, "Tell him that Lian Liang has been killed by Zheng Zai. His last heir is gone."Zuo Yiming yearned for someone to inherit the kingdom, and in the end was told that there was no one to do so. It was the greatest blow to him and also the greatest irony."The sins of the Zuos can't be redeemed even in hell!"..."Joe, the girl is crying again. We, we can't handle her anymore!"Father Qiao called Joe out with a panicked look on his face.Lian Liang's so-called grandparents were just strangers in f

    She had worn a wedding dress and married him...Pei Xian's eyes burned. He clutched her hand tightly and swallowed it slightly. He nodded. "Alright."Pei Xian asked Lin Feiran to go buy a diamond ring immediately. Jiang Shu hurriedly took out the ring from her bag and said, "No need. There's one here."Pei Xian had bought the diamond ring at a jewelry shop. Yan Ling had said that the engagement would be canceled, but she was reluctant to throw it away and had been carrying it with her all the time.Pei Xian took the ring and slowly put it on her finger with trembling hands.Yan Ling's fingers were red and swollen. After wearing the ring for a long time, she was satisfied. She looked at Pei Xian with her eyes shining, and a teardrop fell from the corner of her eye.Outside the ward, Jane watched blankly as Pei Xian put the ring on Yan Ling's finger and saw her trying her best to put on a happy smile.The doctor's regretful words kept echoing in her mind: "Miss Yan's injury is so

    Zheng Zai's car exploded. He was severely injured, his spleen ruptured, and his back was seriously burned. He was temporarily sent to the intensive care unit.

    Blake frowned. They had already returned to Shujinyuan. How could there be a car accident?However, the location of the incident wasn't far from Shujinyuan, which meant that the Lians wouldn't be coming out until they arrived at Shujinyuan."Mr. Ferguson, you seem to know something. Who is Zheng Zai? Why did he hold the little girl hostage?"The police kept asking. Blake looked calm and said, "Captain Li, the situation is chaotic now. We'll investigate after the operations are over. What do you think?"The police looked around. There were nurses coming in and out, and someone was stopping the media from coming in for an interview. It was indeed chaotic, so they agreed.Blake gave Pei Xian a look. The two of them walked to a quiet corner, and Joe also came over.Blake asked, "Is Zheng Zai from Zhang Yeting's side?""He was behind this?"Joe pursed his lips and frowned.
