Jessica returned home and encountered a very unfortunate incident - she had forgotten to bring her keys!The apartment originally had two keys, one carried by Henry and the other by her. However, since she was in the hospital and Mr. Marcus moved in, he took her key.Since Jessica and Mr. Marcus commuted together for work, it didn't matter who had the key. Besides, Henry always came back earlier than them, so the key was practically useless.But today, Mr. Marcus and Susan had an important meeting regarding a capital increase, so they left early. Jessica, who had flexible working hours due to her leg injury, left work early as well. As a result, she found herself frustrated and trapped outside the door.Checking her watch, she realized that Little Henry wouldn't be back for another hour. Jessica, leaning on her crutches, couldn't bear to wait by the door for an hour with only one leg. It would surely be exhausting.She walked out of the neighborhood and crossed the road to a park, sol
Saxon was tall and handsome, while Miss Jessica was pure and radiant. The scene of him holding her was truly captivating and picturesque, like a prince holding his princess.Passersby turned their heads, some even took out their cameras to snap pictures of them.Jessica deeply… regretted it!She felt like a monkey in a zoo, being observed and admired.A man so beautiful is truly tragic.Saxon gently placed Jessica on a bench in the park, put her cane aside, and let her sit comfortably. His actions were smooth and tender, as if he did this often."Thank you!" Jessica thanked him softly, smiling and looking down. She pinched her aching leg, feeling better, but still a bit painful. Walking was still a struggle."What happened to your leg?" Saxon sat beside her, showing no intention of leaving, and asked Jessica with a concerned tone."A car accident!" Jessica said softly. He was gentle and kind and had just helped her out. "It was probably just a cramp."In principle, all her weight was
"But I genuinely care about you! I truly love you!" Saxon confessed with a melancholic and affectionate tone.Jessica finally understood why in Italian movies, when men confess their love to women, they always have a melancholic expression.As if to say, "I love you, and if you don't love me, I will immediately commit suicide."So dramatic!Miss Jessica smiled, looking at the handsome man in front of her. He was truly extraordinary.First, being confessed to by a handsome foreign guy on the street was a great ego boost for women. Secondly, this guy's attire alone indicated that his status was definitely not ordinary, unless he was involved in robbery. Third, this handsome guy was a one-of-a-kind.But unfortunately, he chose the wrong person to confess to."Sir, I don't think any sensible woman would choose you as a lover," Jessica said calmly, her eyebrows showing intelligence. "To meet me for less than ten minutes and say you love me, feels too cheap to me. One day, when you meet ano
Henry opened the door, arranged the fruits and vegetables, then returned to the living room, sitting across from Jessica. Slowly, he said, "He was a prince of the piano since he was a child, Mama. Anyway, whenever you see him in the future, just keep him as far away as possible! He can easily investigate Dad's whereabouts, so he knows about your relationship with him. He has malicious intentions. Hmph!"Jessica didn't need Henry's reminder. She knew she should always avoid such a dangerous person. But Saxon suddenly appeared in front of her, asking her to be his lover. What kind of trick was he playing out?He knew she belonged to Mr. Marcus. Could it be that he wanted to tempt her into falling for him and hurt Mr. Marcus?If that were the case, he was truly a bad guy. If two men were at war, they should rely on their real skills. What's the point of involving women?"Baby, do you have any opinions about Saxon?""Of course!" Henry furrowed his brow deeply and said in a deep voice, "Fi
"Mummy, just don't let Daddy find out what you've been thinking, otherwise, I bet you'll be in for a miserable punishment," Henry chuckled elegantly. His dear father's temper, if he knew what she was thinking, he definitely pounce on Mummy and demonstrate his straight identity and superlative sexual prowess.Even a child would know that!Jessica shook Henry and kicked him, "You won't betray me, right?""Of course not, I love you so much, Mummy!""You've betrayed me numerous times!" Jessica stated a fact expressionlessly.Henry, "...Illusion!"Jessica snorted, "Keep your mouth shut, don't let him find out!""What shouldn't I know?" The door opened, and Mr. Marcus' handsome figure floated at the doorway. He strolled in leisurely, tossed the car keys onto the table, and loosened the tie that had been binding him all day. "What were you discussing?"Henry made a quick decision, stood up, and drifted into the kitchen. He was going to cook!Jessica hugged her teddy bear and remained silent.
"Good boy, go buy a pillow in the market!" Jessica said coolly. It would be faster to dream about it. Just like that, Mr. Marcus, you're proposing too easily!Mr. Marcus stared at her coldly, attempting to overpower her with his oppressive presence.Jessica stared back defiantly, refusing to back down!Sparks flew in the air for a moment.Mr. Marcus felt a great sense of defeat. "What exactly do I have to do for you to agree to marry me?""You have a terrible attitude when proposing!" Miss Jessica reminded him calmly. "Have you ever seen someone propose with such a look?""What kind of attitude do you want?" Mr. Marcus asked patiently, grinding his teeth."At the very least, a candlelight dinner, 9999 roses, and get down on one knee!""You go buy a pillow in the market too!""Oh, let's buy it together!" Jessica replied casually. She couldn't understand why they had drifted from discussing Saxon to talking about marriage.They were off-topic!At that moment, the doorbell rang.Henry, w
Henry raised his thumb and praised, "Mommy, you're really amazing!"Mr. Marcus sat on the sand with a gloomy face. The thought of Saxon, that pervert, leering at Jessica made him feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.What should he do to make this pervert lose interest in Jessica?Deep in thought, Mr. Marcus's brows raised and furrowed alternately. Miss Jessica sat across from him, as if she was enjoying a silent film, quite amusing.Henry served the cooked food. It seemed like neither his mom nor dad had much interest in eating. With his rosy hand resting on his chin, he observed what his dad would do."Miss Jessica, starting tomorrow, dress more old-fashioned!" Mr. Marcus thought this was a feasible suggestion. He lifted his gaze and said domineeringly, "Wear a complete set of business suits, the old-fashioned kind, very conservative and outdated. Tie your hair up and wear a pair of black framed glasses, got it?"Henry burst out laughing. Uh... could it really work thi
The evening breeze blew quietly, chilly.A bright full moon hung high in the sky, its clear and cold moonlight flowing over the entire sky of W City like water.Mr. Marcus stood alone on the balcony, his cold gaze fixed on the dark colors. Moonlight gave his figure a layer of chilly silhouette, indifference, coldness, and something slightly sharp seeped out from him, giving people the feeling of the ruthless aura belonging to a dark king.Saxon's words stirred up the most intense animosity deep in Mr. Marcus's heart.That man seemed to understand him quite well, knowing exactly what to do to provoke Mr. Marcus's deepest ferocity!Jessica had just finished playing a round of video games with Henry and had come out of her study. As she passed by her study, she saw Mr. Marcus's cold figure standing under the moonlight, giving off an excessively cold feeling.Her heart twitched slightly, she knocked on the door, but Mr. Marcus didn't react.After hesitating for a moment, Jessica entered w
"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
