Jessica stepped out, and Blake was stunned by what he saw.In a simple updo held in place by a red hairpin, her curled hair tresses framed her cheeks. Her face was beautiful with arched eyebrows, soft eyes, a dainty nose, and striking ruby lips. She looked alluring yet pure at the same time.While Blake knew that Jessica was quite a looker, but after getting dolled up, she truly looked stunning.…Blake himself donned a dignified tailor-made suit with a quaint little pocket square in his breast pocket. Surely, all eyes would be on him the moment he stepped into the Jackson family’s ballroom.However, this time, the spotlight would be focused on the widely-rumored Mrs. Ferguson. After all, this would be Jessica’s grand debut in the public eye.She walked alongside Blake, stepping into the venue as everyone began to notice her.Silence swept across the crowd.On the other hand, Kim Jackson, who had been enjoying the attention showered on her on her home turf, was eclipsed immedia
Kim Jackson grabbed a glass of wine and strode over to Lady Cecilia. The lady that was with her caught Kim’s eyes and respectfully bowed out of the conversation. Kim gently smiled at Lady Cecilia and spoke, “Thank you so much, Lady Cecilia, for attending my mother’s birthday banquet.”Lady Cecilia clinked her glass with Kim and smiled back. “The pleasure is mine. In fact, I was planning on inviting the Jackson family to my birthday banquet as well.”The hidden meaning behind those words was clear as day. Kim hardened her resolve and smiled as she said, “My lady, Mrs. Ferguson seems awfully lonely there by herself, should we do something about that?”Lady Cecilia glanced over at Jessica, wondering just how she can bear to stay here any longer. From the corner of her eye, she spotted some ladies walking over to Jessica, and decided to set down her own wine glass before walking over as well. Jessica was content playing with Winson before she spotted three well-dressed ladies walk
“We were asking Mrs. Ferguson how she keeps her skin so smooth!”Lady Cecilia coldly clicked her tongue and disdainfully glanced at Jessica, but when looking at Kim her eyes shone with approval. “Every one of you is still so young and fair, akin to a flower in bloom. So tender that your skin is still as soft as mochi. Instead of fretting over this, why don't you spend some time picking up a skill?” “Look at Lady Jackson here, she’s roughly your age and she can hold her ground when speaking to consul as well as organizing events and projects. You ladies should really learn from her.”The young lady with slightly protruding ears immediately piped up, “I’ve heard from my uncle that Mr. Ferguson is preparing to enter the European market, and there was a project regarding Tourism in Spain that Mr. Ferguson really took a liking to! Was that proposal written by you, Lady Jackson?”Kim reacted humbly and lowered her head, smiling sheepishly. “Oh you flatter me, it wasn't that impressive
“Mr. Ferguson! !-”Kim Jackson tried to speak up for herself, but the words barely left her mouth when she caught his ice-cold gaze and was forced to swallow the rest of her words.Her face burned like red-hot coal.In all her life she had never been so utterly humiliated before, let alone rejected in such a manner.It felt as if she was slapped in the face by the whole universe.However, what was even more terrifying then was Blake Ferguson’s piercing glare.She felt a shiver across her spine.It felt as if she had truly pissed Blake off in the worst possible way, but...Why?He seemed so satisfied with the proposal in the beginning and even treated her to dinner. Just how did that mute pique his interest?The prideful Kim was at a loss, but upon seeing Jessica Scott’s indifferent expression, her heart burned with rage.How could the great Kim Jackson be beaten by a mere mute!Hmph! Blake himself even said it earlier, he saw it on her Weibo. She did not even do it herself!
Blake watched until Jessica had walked out of earshot before turning to Lady Cecilia, “Mother, upon attending this event, did you really think I knew nothing at all?”“The things that you and Lady Jackson are thinking and plotting, did you really think I couldn’t see any of it?”First, it was arranging to have Kim come and tutor Winson privately, and now an invitation to the Jackson’s birthday banquet? It’s basically equivalent to sending a signal to everyone outside the family.Had he not said any of this today, the fact that Kim Jackson would have been Mrs. Ferguson instead of Jessica Scott would have become reality.Such an obvious plot, it was just one mouth away from becoming gossip, and Blake was done with being passive.“Mother dear, I know very well that Lady Jackson is the one you wanted to be my wife. But I, as your son, am going to make it very clear right now.”“I don't plan on changing wives.”Blake finished his sentence, leaving Lady Cecilia shell shocked. “You rea
At that moment, Lady Cecilia could no longer maintain her graceful demeanor.To her, what Jessica did was a disgrace to the Ferguson family!Jessica glanced at Blake from afar, and noticed that livid look on his face, implying that she had committed a grave mistake.Being mute, was that a crime?He spoke on her behalf in front of others, intending to protect her, yet the moment she used sign language, he distanced himself away from her instead?Frankly speaking, maybe this was his bottom-line, which was bringing her to this banquet, hoping she would be as quiet as a mouse and behaving in a way that would not be disgraceful.Unfortunately, her sign language fell within what he deemed as disgraceful.Jessica retracted her gaze, slowly curled her lips, and grinned.She looked at Lady Cecilia and started to speak in sign language.“Not being able to speak is indeed a defect I am born with, this is an unchangeable fact. I also have always been aware that I am now a part of the Ferguson fami
This girl… said she wanted to quit?Thomas Wayne put down the coffee mug he was holding and started typing on the screen.[Boundless Fox: You want to meet up and talk about it?]After that, as he waited for Jessica’s reply, his hand started to fiddle around with the top of the coffee mug.Jessica stared at the profile icon on the computer screen.Thomas was the only one that said her sign language was lovely.She took a deep breath and lifted her wrists.[Scentless Cookie: Aren’t you the one that said sign language is a beautiful language? Then what is the point of designing an app, which uses machines and programs to convert this language?]She stopped looking forward to the app’s completion, questioning the need to put up with the needs and wants of others. Since sign language was a language that belonged to her, then she should use it as her way to communicate. Whether others would listen or not, that was not her problem!Thomas saw the reply, raising his eyebrows as he read.[Bound
Jessica looked toward where Blake pointed.There was an open plaza with an artificial fountain just outside the café. From the angle that they were viewing it from, one could barely make out the faint rainbow that was cast into the air.“See, I’m not lying right?” Jessica let out a slight burst of laughter, a sign of her recovering mood.Thomas then said, “Since there’s nothing to do here, why don’t you guess as to what they’re doing?”He pointed to a young man and woman at the plaza and asked, “What kind of relationship do you think those two have?”Jessica took a closer look, the young man had a pleasing smile as if trying to explain something. The young woman had a stern look on her face, she moved two steps ahead, stopped, and then continued walking a few more steps in the same direction. The young man followed her as she did all of that repeatedly. This went on for quite a while.“Are they a couple? A couple who’s arguing?” Jessica asked.“Nope, both of them have no relationship
Jessica opened her mouth first, and everyone also followed to congratulate them. Lan Li looked at Winson and Lian Liang who were standing together and said, "If the time was allowed, we may be able to get a pair of childhood sweethearts."Surrounded by a large group of people, they were all talking about other people's affairs. Today's little protagonist was unhappy and burst into tears. Mo Feitong was shocked and quickly swing his daughter and coaxed, "Oh, baby, why are you crying? Are you hungry? Did you poop..."Looking at his idiotic look, Blake shook his head.A month later, Pei Xian and Jane's wedding held.After Blake started, Mo Feitong and Lan Li also held a Chinese wedding. With the previous experience, the marriage between Pei Xian and Jane continued.Pei Xian got up early in the morning and rode on a white horse, followed by a big red sedan chair, all the way to the courtyard of the Qiaos.After a lively moment, Jane was carried by Joe to the bridal sedan chair."I'l
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. It's better for me to make it for you."Lan Li saw someone coming from the corner of her eye. She secretly stepped on him and whispered, "Shut up!"Blake came over with Jessica and said with a smile, "I heard it. I hope this child will grow up and not be as thick-skinned as you."He looked at the baby. Half a year had passed, and the little girl was growing up to be white and tender, more and more beautiful.Blake said to Lan Li, "It's better to act like you."Mo Feitong glared at him. "Are you looking for trouble?" He glanced at Jessica's belly and said, "Kid, i
"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. It seemed more like they had returned to the days when they were together before.Calm, occasionally look at other people's lives, and talk about themself."I think it's a good name. We can use it on our daughter in the future. So can our son."This was the first time that Pei Xian realize
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. In this life, she couldn't repay it, and she couldn't give the Yans a good daughter.She should have been standing on the stage full of light, but she disappeared like fireworks in the blink of an eye.Although Pei Xian didn't say anything, Jane understood him the most.He took pity on Yan Ling, thanked Yan Ling, and also helped her to return the favor.Before Yan Ling died, she was accompanied by the person she loved. After spending her last happy time in her life, her parents comforted, at least they did not take it to heart.How w
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. Whether he could survive the 24 hours or not depended on his luck.Yan Ling's situation was similar to Zheng Zai's, and she was in a critical situation.In comparison, Lian Liang's situation was the best, but she had a fracture and a concussion.The dark clouds covering the sky finally came down.Jane had no idea how she came to the morgue to take the last look at the couple.She fell to her knees with a plop, but there were no tears in her eyes at all.She gazed at the corpse covered in white cloth and did not dare lift it.Joe walked up to her slowly, lifted the cloth, and took a look. He closed his eyes and covered the white cloth with a solemn expression.Jane's stomach twisted, but she couldn't spit it out. Her stiff body was out of control, and she had to rely on Joe's support.When she stood up, her last bit of st
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. Jane had been worried that the other party would take advantage of the chaos to harm the child, but no one had
