When Xanthus got up in the morning, Maverly had already arrived. She came alone and had brought breakfast for them. Xanthus's mood inexplicably became much better when he noticed Heston didn't come. Shooting a glance at Maverly, he went to wash up. By the time he was finished, Maverly and Jacian were already eating. He had an operation in the morning, so he left hastily after taking a few bites. In the afternoon, Xanthus came down from his office and went to check on Jacian, only to find Heston in the ward. Heston had brought toys for Jacian. Xanthus stopped outside the ward and stared inside for a while before returning to his office. Later, when he got off work in the evening, Xanthus went straight back to his home. When he arrived at the door, he received a call from Jeremy. Jeremy asked him out for a drink. Xanthus had been in a bad mood before because of Cynthia's matter, so he invited Jeremy to go out for a drink. However, he was no longer in t
On the first night of Maverly's stay in the manor, the three of them had a hard time falling asleep. Xanthus and Maverly couldn't sleep, while Raeleigh stayed up wondering all night. 'What's wrong with Xanthus?' Raeleigh got up early in the morning and ordered the servants to prepare a scrumptious breakfast. On the other hand, Maverly woke up at eight o'clock. Glancing at the time, Maverly felt a little embarrassed. She came down from upstairs and explained, "I find it hard to fall asleep in unfamiliar places." "It's okay. I just got up too," Raeleigh said as she served breakfast. Just then, Jepherson came downstairs and saw Maverly but said nothing. "This is Mr. Richards. He usually doesn't talk. So please don't mind him," Raeleigh told Maverly the truth. Maverly was still too young to understand it after all. She stared at them with a strange expression on her face. "Do you all usually wake up this late?" Raeleigh smiled, "Can't w
"Do I know you?" Raeleigh asked. However, the man withdrew his smile and said, "No. But when I see you walking alone in the dark, especially in such weather, I thought it would be bad if you encountered the bad guys. You seem like a beautiful and spiritual woman." Raeleigh thought for a moment and said, "Thank you." The man flashed her a faint smile, then looked in front of him. "Let's go." When Raeleigh told the driver her address, the man frowned slightly and asked her, "Are you from the Osteen family?" "Yes." The man was baffled. "That's weird. The Osteen family doesn't have any daughters, right? Moreover, Xanthus is the only son in the family. Are you their biological family?" "I'm his fiancee, but it's a long story. We have no feelings for each other, but his parents like me, so they adopted me as their daughter, and I live there now." "I see. But as far as I know, Xanthus is a good person. However, his job is not suitable for the Osteen f
After Jepherson left, Raeleigh went back to work in the office as there was already a mountain of documents piled up on her table, waiting for her to complete. For a moment, she regretted starting Bloom Aksea Group. If she had known that Jepherson would eventually buy her company, she wouldn't set up one in the first place. In the end, she had fallen into her own trap. After last night, Raeleigh learned the lesson and no longer dared to ask Jared to drive her. Instead, she took her own car to the office. Mr. Zoman was equally worried, so he drove to Raeleigh's house early in the morning and waited for her. On the other hand, Jared was nonchalant. He did not care whether Raeleigh wanted to sit in his car or not. On the way to the office, Zoman said to Raeleigh, "I always had the feeling that this Jared is not a trustworthy person. Why don't we arrange someone else to protect you, Miss?" "No, it's not necessary. If someone really wanted to
Raeleigh had a lot of matters to tend to that afternoon. When she returned to her office, she handed the steak to Ariana, then told her to put it in the fridge and wanted Ariana to remind her to take it back when she returned home in the evening. Ariana asked incredulously, "Miss Anson, do you really like the steak there so much?" "Not really, but I don't like wasting food either. It's better to take away the food instead of throwing it out. Although I can't force others to do that, at least I could do my part." Raeleigh explained as she removed her coat and hung it on the hanger. Then, she walked past her desk and sat down in front of the computer, staring at it for a while. After that, she called Xanthus. Xanthus picked up the phone almost instantly. Raeleigh was not surprised. He was probably taking a rest at this time. Thus, she could contact him during this period. "Have you eaten already?" Xanthus was sitting in his office and Releigh chu
Xanthus didn't go back. Raeleigh called Xanthus when she woke up in the morning. Xanthus told her that he would be working night shift and Raeleigh laughed as soon as he finished speaking. "Xanthus, it seems that this is the first time you're working night shift." Raeleigh teased him, but he said nothing in response to this. Raeleigh said, "I'm going to hang up if there's nothing else." "Raeleigh," Xanthus called out to her. "I thought my feelings toward Cynthia will never change for the rest of my life." "That shouldn't be the only false impression you were under. Most people always regard the unobtainable one as the best and it's of little value once they've acquired it. Have you ever wondered why you care so much about that relationship? Did the fact that you couldn't get over it from the beginning and didn't receive any recognition give rise to your resolution to win her heart? Loving someone is very easy. A sight may be enough to her
Without connections, a film may not be able to be produced. Stuart was a little reluctant. "The fault indeed originated from our side, but the entertainment industry isn't clean after all. It's a business involving numerous backdoor agreements. Our company is definitely not the worst. There are many other companies with more abhorrent misconduct. It's an irreversible trend. The people behind this must be well aware of it. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, there's something fishy in it." "Where there's smoke, there's fire. Now that we're being targeted, we can only relinquish this company. No matter if it's a lucrative business or not, there's only one option left for us: admit our mistakes right away and make a public apology. Arrange for a press conference as soon as possible to explain it to the public." "I got it." Stuart turned around. When the car arrived at Richards Group Manor, Jepherson did not get out of it instantly. He asked Stuart, "Grandpa and Grand
It did not make sense. Zorion was also mystified by her pregnancy. Returning upstairs, Zorion called his two nephews over. He took out a few boxes of condoms from the nightstand and asked them, "What's going on?" The two children exchanged looks, as though they were considering whether to tell the truth. Zorion became serious. "If you guys don't tell me, I'll check the surveillance footage later." "We poured them out and punctured them with needles," Cedric answered. Zorion paused for a moment and asked with a strange look on his face, "Who told you to do that?" Zorion had to get to the bottom of this. Otherwise, Rossie would misunderstand and think that he taught the two children to do it on purpose. That would be troublesome. Rossie was lying on the bed. She was just fine, but they had made a big deal out of it and the entire Whalen family took her as an important person who needed protection. Zorion also called the two children over and she
