Dancing?Jessica scanned the dance floor, where many couples were already dancing a graceful waltz, with swaying skirts and elegant postures. Then, she glanced at Mr. Winston.It was evident at first glance that he was a despicable man.Jessica smiled lightly, maintaining her graceful demeanor. "I'm sorry, Mr. Winston. My high heels have been hurting my feet, so I'm not able to."Mr. Winston seemed surprised that a mere secretary would decline his invitation. He felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, secretaries often accompany their bosses to socialize. Otherwise, how else could it be called socializing?Mr. Marcus's other secretaries had already been led to the dance floor, and it was then that Mr. Winston, driven by his lust, came to invite Jessica to dance."Miss Jessica, it's okay. The steps of the waltz are melodious and won't cause much discomfort," Mr. Winston said with a lecherous smile as he moved closer to take Jessica's hand. But before he could get close to her, a pair of
Mr. Marcus and Old Mr. Alston both turned their heads, only to see reporters from the news media rushing towards the entrance, madly carrying cameras. The commotion grew louder, and then they heard..."Mr. Old Lee...""Mr. Quincy..."Mr. Marcus's face darkened.The arrival of Michael Lee and Quincy pushed this banquet to a new level. Almost everyone's attention was focused on this grandfather-grandson pair. As the Lee family walked past the Smith father and son, camera flashes incessantly went off. The whole event took on a strange atmosphere.The astute media patiently waited; it might become a major news story.Old Mr. Alston, who hadn't attended any business banquets for several years, made an appearance. Likewise, Old Mr. Lee, who had retired from business affairs and handed over his position to Quincy, also made an appearance. These two old men, who had been hostile towards each other for a lifetime due to a woman, instantly became the focus of the entire banquet. Everyone's eyes
"We are friends."The safest and most imaginative answer. In the entertainment industry, whenever there were rumors about who was dating who, even if intimate photos were taken together, the response to the media was always the same - "We are just friends."That's it.The reporters spent quite some time on the questions regarding Quincy and Crystal, but eventually circled back to the war between Noblefull Group and Gootal Group.One journalist asked Marcus, "Mr. Marcus, will Noblefull Group and Gootal Group continue to compete in the future? Or will they become partners?"Mr. Marcus smiled elegantly, exuding a unique coldness and charm. He gave a poetic answer, "I believe you shouldn't use your ears to listen to this question. You should use your eyes to see."The reporters were puzzled, their faces filled with confusion. Use their eyes to see? See what?"Are you referring to monitoring the future actions of Noblefull Group and Gootal Group?" several microphones swarmed in front of Mr
Alston Smith sneered, his gaze sharp and mocking. "Michael Lee, my son, you don't have the ability to ruin him. Take your granddaughter and get out of here. I can't stand your whole family.""Alston Smith, don't think that the secrets of the Smith family back then were all hidden. What did you let him do in Australia and no one knows? If those things were exposed, do you think your son could still survive in this world?" Michael Lee said coldly, devoid of any emotions.Alston Smith furrowed his brows, furious. "Michael Lee...you're shameless!"Mr. Marcus narrowed his eyes, full of anger. Jessica immediately held onto him, smiling. "Honey, have you forgotten what I told you? You always forget my words and don't take them to heart. How can I trust that you'll be good to me forever?"Saxon's eyes slightly raised, watching the waves and ripples between the Smith and Lee families with interest. There was a faint hidden satisfaction and pleasure in his emerald green eyes.Quincy was in unbe
Miss Jessica was always direct in her insults, concise yet lethal. She always wore a charming smile, never revealing such sharpness as now.Saxon's laughter broke the silence, like a gust of spring wind cutting through the winter snowstorm. His emerald green eyes glimmered with admiration as he said, "Jessica, I'm impressed. I finally understand how gentle you were towards me at the restaurant today."At first sight, he thought this woman was innocent and agile. At second sight, he found her intelligent and composed. Now, he saw her as radiant as a pearl, dazzling enough to steal away his gaze.Mr. Marcus simply gazed deeply at the woman in his arms, his eyes full of smiles, lips turned up, replacing all anger and hostility with tenderness. This was his little Jessica.His only precious gem.He didn't need to refute Michael Lee in any way. His little Jessica had already spread her wings, protecting him within their embrace, guarding him with unwavering determination.A man should shel
Following Mr. Marcus, this was the second violent incident at the party.Here's how it happened: Camellia and Rose's beauty easily attracted the attention of men, especially Camellia. Her delicate features were pure and innocent, but occasionally she would intentionally reveal a smile that could captivate anyone, seductive and enchanting.This deliberate display of charm was very appealing and disrupted her original elegance. It set men's hearts racing, especially coupled with her well-proportioned figure which made her extremely desirable.An audacious man, who seemed to be a wealthy second-generation heir from some company, went up to flirt with her. He was quite good-looking, and fearlessly hugged and groped her buttocks. Camellia intended to playfully flirt with him for some amusement, as it was her area of expertise.Little did she know, Michael Lee shouted, "You're cousins!" Journalists hurriedly rushed towards them. Rose reminded her to stop playing around and instead help Mr.
Camellia? My Camellia?He called me Camellia?Why? Does he know me?Camellia widened her eyes in astonishment, her mind in chaos. How could Mr. Marcus know her? In her memory, she had never had any recollection of him, and very few people had seen her true face.But why did he accurately call out her name?The usually carefree and free-spirited Camellia stood there in confusion, rarely at a loss for words."Do you know me?" Camellia softly asked. "I don't know you.""Are you called Camellia Smith?"Camellia nodded, indeed, she was called Camellia Smith because her name was on the jade pendant. Camellia Smith, was the only thing she had, all these years she had thought about investigating her origins, but all her memories started in the Brazilian underground boxing ring when she first stepped into the ring at the age of six. She was selected and taken away, trained to become the Camellia she is today.All memories and clues about her origins had been cut off, so she stopped investigati
As soon as Camellia left, Mr. Marcus made a gesture without looking back, and Panther and the others quickly disappeared.The previously subdued atmosphere, intimidated by Marcus, began to stir.After the gunfire just now, some timid ladies already had pale faces, standing there on unsteady legs. Seeing that the dangerous individuals had finally left, they couldn't help but secretly rejoice. This party had been filled with twists and turns, constantly thrilling.The young men were relieved that they hadn't provoked Camellia just now. Otherwise, they would have met the same fate as the young man whose arms were broken by Camellia."Oh my, who is that woman? That scene just now was like a movie shot.""It was even more dazzling than a movie shot. So cute.""A female Rambo.""Amazing gun skills, beautiful appearance, and a sexy enchantress. Such a woman is rare in the world. Is she a Miss from the Smith family? I've never heard of a Miss in the Smith family.""She must be connected to th
"They saved me," said Saxon, with a cold laugh, "In fact, it was just a trap set by their brothers. They sent someone to ambush me while pretending to save me, successfully getting close to me. Their goal is the mafia, I'm not sure which faction they belong to.""You're really dumb," Camellia retorted. If it were Victor or Robin, this wouldn't have happened. Their core organization doesn't allow outsiders to invade easily, no matter how much trust there is.Saxon's defeat in just a few months was greatly influenced by his misjudgment of people."I admit defeat in this move," Saxon said solemnly. "Just go ahead and kill me."Camellia looked at him and smiled, "My dear brother, if I kill you, my nephew will come after me. Your life should be taken by his own hands, that's what you owe him."Desperate, Saxon closed his eyes and whispered, "Camellia, please fulfill my request, considering we're siblings.""Even if you may be my father, I won't fulfill your request," Camellia said firmly.
There were only five people on the ship.Saxon stood alone on the deck, gazing intensely at the sea, his desire to kill growing stronger. To avoid accidents, he should kill her now. And when Mr. Marcus arrived, he could deliver the final blow.Just as he thought that, the ship stopped, and Saxon roared, "What's going on?""Oh, nothing much. They were tired, so I let them rest forever." A dark figure leaped effortlessly onto the deck, her long hair flowing and her black bodysuit accentuating her seductive figure, her eyebrows exuding absolute icy firmness.Saxon called out in disbelief, "Jessica, you..."She opened her mouth, moved her lips, spat out a voice changer, and tore off the mask on her face, revealing a stunningly alluring face in front of Saxon.He was greatly surprised, but she smiled enchantingly, "My dearest big brother, you could disguise as my Brother Marcus, so why can't I disguise as my brother-in-law? How about that, I think I nailed the act, right? Forgot to tell yo
On the cruise ship out at sea.Jessica tried to move her wrist, but the handcuffs were tight, with long shackles on her feet, trailing chains on the ground, giving the room a particularly gloomy atmosphere. She smiled as she glanced around the room; it was actually quite a nice room, decorated luxuriously and comfortably. She thought to herself, that maybe if Saxon had tied her to the bed, she could have had a peaceful sleep.Her face was pale, breathing seemed a bit difficult, gasping continuously, yet she coldly laughed. Raising her hand, she knocked heavily on the cabin door. As expected, the door opened shortly after, and a tall figure appeared in the doorway, stepping inside.Blonde hair, blue eyes, with a menacing aura that seemed to suffocate, as if ready to destroy the entire world. Such a presence would make anyone feel scared.Jessica, however, smiled, appearing very calm with her usual smile, her gaze passing over him as she said, "Saxon, weren't you in Colombia planning to
Marcus slammed the door shut, and pressed his hand against it, hands supporting the door, his gaze darkly fixed on her. Jessica tried to stay calm but felt her heart racing.She couldn't meet Mr. Marcus's eyes directly, so her gaze shifted, each movement making him breathe a bit harder. She calmly lowered her eyes, ready to listen to his scolding.For a while, Mr. Marcus didn't say a word, his imposing demeanor making Jessica nervous.Finally, Jessica blurted out, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you, but you can't blame me for this. Henry asked why he didn't have a dad. I couldn't possibly tell him that you're the child of a one-night stand with a stranger, right? That would be devastating for the kid. So I had to come up with this cheesy love story. Who knew you actually got into an accident and lost your memory? Henry had already told you about the cheesy drama in advance, so I just went along with the flow. It was really just an accident, I swear.""You had plenty of chances t
It was his mother's death anniversary that day, and feeling upset, Mr. Marcus went to the bar alone after visiting the grave. Someone approached him, but he turned them down. In such moments, he had no peace of mind, but little did he know that he would meet her.She got drunk and staggered. He hurried over to help her, but she mistook him for a money boy. He was furious, feeling his pride was hurt. He was enraged, knowing she came looking for a man, and he wanted to strangle her.In his rage, that anger turned into desire.Furthermore, knowing she had been drugged fueled his anger even more. He was angry at her, frustrated with her. He couldn't understand why he had such strong impulses towards a woman he hardly knew.Maybe it was the moment of palpitations at the beach or the moment of heart fluttering when she looked up at him as he held her.That night, he lost control.But who would have known that when he woke up the next day, there was a note at the head of his bed with $100 an
On that day, Jessica flipped through the guest list for the wedding invitations and couldn't find Quincy's name. She raised an eyebrow and asked Henry, "How long has it been since you talked to Uncle Quincy?""Long time," Henry chuckled. "Mom, you also need to send invitations to the uncles and aunts on Grandpa's side. Why not send one to Uncle Quincy too?"Jessica nodded, hesitated for a moment, then decided to have Camellia drive her to meet Quincy at the park in front of the Lee Family's house.Michael Lee had been in the hospital for a while, feeling down ever since the case with Diana Brown. He had lost his former dominance and charisma; the once mighty business tycoon had fallen, his glory days long gone.Jessica felt sorry about the situation. If it weren't for what Michael Lee had done, she wouldn't have spoken so harshly that day. She only felt guilty towards Quincy.Quincy just smiled and didn't say much. There was a bit of awkwardness between them, not as warm as before, bu
Herman shot her a look of anger, but Camellia wasn't afraid of him at all. The poor little brother, always overshadowed by his brother, how sad. Any woman who falls for him still has to compete with his brother for attention, it's really a special kind of frustration.He was angry, and in the past, he would have definitely closed the video, out of sight out of mind. But today was different, he just stared at Camellia intensively.Suddenly, Camellia was curious about something, "Herman, do you have a brotherly love obsession?"If he answered yes, it would be quite interesting. She felt chaotic just thinking about it. She and Rose had also been suspected of having a lesbian relationship, and now with a pair of brothers who seem to have a homosexual relationship. Wow!"What do you mean by a brotherly love obsession?" Herman questioned.Camellia replied with a mischievous tone, "It means you look at your brother and wonder if you want to pounce on him and violate him."Rose's face darkene
After a while, there was no response from the other end.Camellia calculated the time—it was early morning in Colombia, so he shouldn't be so easily provoked to find a woman to solve his desire. Whether he understood sex was still a problem.She deliberately teased him and let him stew in anticipation."Uncle, it's been a while, and he hasn't responded," Henry said. "Maybe Herman has bled so much from his nose he passed out?"Rose chuckled. "Maybe he is having sex with a beauty."Rose nudged Camellia playfully. "Camellia, don't overdo it. You might regret it later."Camellia waved her hand, smiling without saying a word, then typed on the keyboard: "Herman, how's my figure?"After a while, there was some movement on the line, and unexpectedly, a naked picture of Herman was sent over. It was artistically shot, but his expressionless face still exuded a sinister air.Camellia, "..."Rose, "..."Henry covered his face and wailed, "Uncle-in-law, please consider the innocence of minors...
"Are you happy?" Mr. Marcus released her swollen lips from their embrace, with a smile. Whether she was happy or not was his top concern.She nodded, extremely happy.She could cherish this moment for a lifetime."As long as you're happy, darling. Henry and Camellia will arrive the day after tomorrow. They'll stay until our wedding and honeymoon. You'll be even happier," Mr. Marcus said with a smile. In the afternoon, Henry had already informed him online that he and Camellia would arrive on different flights but on the same day."Really?" Jessica's face lit up with surprise, pouting, "Henry is biased. He told you, but not me. So unfair."Mr. Marcus chuckled, "I and he need to discuss some matters.""Hmph!" Miss Jessica pouted unhappily.Mr. Marcus smiled, holding her, feeling content.She suddenly thought of something, "If you went to such great lengths for a proposal, our wedding will be like...even more sensational?""You don't need to worry about that, just put on the wedding dres
