Time passed quickly, and on Friday, Hugh hurried back and brought back several computer semi-finished products that he personally supervised. Then, he sent them to Goldmoor's Belholt Factory for the final processing.Because Britney's wedding was postponed, he stayed there for a few more days to personally supervise their production. Since the quantity was not large, it didn't take too long. He also took Goldmoor back with him.I had already communicated with Belholt Factory and hoped that they would work overtime to complete the processing of those computers before Monday. So basically, it can be confirmed that the department can start testing the new computers next Monday.Hugh deserves the most credit here; if it weren't for him keeping an eye on things, it wouldn't have been possible to finish so quickly.On the weekend, the sun was shining brightly, and the tense atmosphere of the entire city gradually relaxed.After a few days of rest, Britney's foot was basically fine for walki
Manuel's lips slightly curled, and his deep voice said.Having lunch, Manuel wiped the little soup stains off Britney's lips and cheeks, and whispered, "Tonight, the Padilla Group has a charity auction. Do you have time to go and take a look together?"The Padilla Group used to hold two to three large charity auctions every year, which always received support and participation from many high society individuals. The proceeds from each auction were used to donate to the impoverished population.Britney looked at Manuel, he didn't look like someone who would usually attend such auctions."Raiden's father entrusted me to help him take a photograph of an antique! By the way, I found a necklace that suits you, which could come in handy when we get married," Manuel raised an eyebrow, his lip curling with a meaningful gesture."..."Britney was unexpectedly speechless.Sometimes Manuel speaks with a serious tone, but it always sparks people'
Although it was just a small-scale meeting, there were still many matters to be dealt with. By the time the meeting was over, it was already past the end of the workday.Everyone finished tidying up the documents and returned to their departments, getting ready to leave work.In the meeting room, only Britney and Hugh remained."Is Manuel still coming to pick you up today? If not, let's go have dinner together!" Hugh's lips curved into a warm smile."Sure. You're welcome to come next time, and I'll treat you!" Britney replied with a smile, and then she and Hugh walked out of the meeting room side by side.Just as Britney returned to her department, she received a call from Manuel asking her if she had finished her work.Since the foot injury, I always left work on time every day, even if there were unfinished tasks to bring home. Today, the meeting ran late, and I forgot to greet Manuel in advance.With the left hand holding the docum
When Britney saw that gorgeous and dazzling necklace, she was also amazed.Surprisingly, this is the necklace that Manuel was interested in."The finished product took 25 craftsmen a total of 49,000 hours to complete, as this necklace is a gift from Mr. Rosales to his beloved wife, and it is the only one of its kind. We respect the old gentleman's wishes, and the starting price for this auction is 1 dollar, with no limit on the bidding increments!" the auctioneer announced with a smile.This made the people in the audience unable to believe it.The auctioneer explained, "Mr. Rosales said that true love is priceless."The whole audience erupted in enthusiastic applause for Mr. Rosales' heartfelt words, "True love is priceless."The bidding this time almost made the whole audience boil.Although the price started at 1 dollar, it didn't take long for it to rise to 1 million... 20 million... 30 million... With each increase, there was a w
Britney also liked shiny diamonds and jewelry, and she would often make plans with Karsyn to go shopping together. They would buy some luxury items to match different outfits. Moreover, her parents would also buy her some, as they never compromised on money for her. So sometimes, whatever she liked, she would buy it.But not without restraint, she would often wander among the counters of diamond jewelry, weighing whether it was worth it and a good deal.When Manuel was determined to capture that string of necklace for her, she was touched, but she also felt more heartbroken for his extravagance.After all, those were all about money!Such a valuable item is not usually worn when going out, and it is also impossible to sell it immediately. Moreover, the price I took it for myself is already quite high, so there is no possibility of making a profit by selling it.In short, apart from that bit of emotion, she wouldn't feel it was worth it.So s
Obviously, this time Manuel was in a good mood."I have to thank Mr. Schwartz for his gracious concession. As for the wedding date of my fiancée and me, you will soon find out!"Upon hearing Manuel's words, everyone's camera flashes still wanted to capture, leaving Conrad, who had been ignored by them, with only a silhouette.Reporters who have realized the situation, continue to work hard."May I ask, Mr. Castro and Ms. Hammond, have you finalized your wedding date?""What can be revealed, I just answered you all! Sorry, I have to take my fiancée home to rest now..."Without saying a word, Manuel brushed aside the surrounding reporters and shielded Britney in front of him, and then coolly walked away.Although not much information was obtained, Manuel, who is not good at speaking, revealed their wedding date, which is coming soon...It seems that there will be new news to expose tomorrow...As they walked
Then Britney looked at the headlines again, and they were all covered with almost identical news.It is clearly written above that Conrad took a photo of Mr. Rosales' necklace, but in the end, it was obtained by Manuel for unknown reasons.Some say Conrad didn't have much money, so the auction sold the necklace to Manuel. Some say Conrad knew that Manuel bought it to marry Britney, so he gave it to them. Others say Manuel seized it by force...There are various versions anyway...And when they attended the auction, there was a photo of them holding hands, with a photo in the bottom right corner showing Conrad and Britney leaving, one after the other, looking disheveled. The two photos formed a stark contrast...There are many comments below."Wow... Manuel and Britney, how perfect they were together!""Looking forward to their wedding! I wonder what it will be like?""Britney left Conrad and found true love! She was truly spoil
Of course, Britney did not want to continue getting entangled with Nylah.Watching Britney's departing figure, Nylah's words carried a hint of sharpness, "Manuel's sister Livia, do you think she's a good person? She's just a green tea bitch!"Britney returned to her office and tried to work, but she found herself unable to concentrate. Her mind kept replaying Nylah's words and the horrifying image she had seen in the newspaper earlier.I repeatedly forced myself to get into a working state, but the efficiency was not high. By the end of the workday, there were still some tasks left unfinished, so I decided to bring them home to handle.Once I got into Manuel's car, there was a repeated silence in the air.Many, Manuel broke the silence between the two."Did Nylah come to see you today?"Surprisingly, Manuel knew, and Britney was no longer hiding."Well, I came in the afternoon.""Are you afraid of me?" No one noticed tha
Looking into the mirror, Sierra touched the necklace around her neck.The more people praised her, the more her heart floated with beauty...Regardless of whether the other person was flattery or adulation, the more she looked at herself in the mirror, the more beautiful she felt. Especially with the expensive necklace around her neck, it further accentuated her beauty.Unfortunately, as soon as she thought about it, she realized that the necklace did not belong to her. She was only helping someone else choose it to give to someone else. She felt extremely frustrated.In fact, beautiful jewelry did enhance people's facial features.But in Raiden's eyes, they were all the same, just a few diamonds, like glass beads, then added to various parts of a little cat or put on wings or something, just changing the design...He generally wouldn't choose these seemingly complicated things, just paying the money is fine.He just wanted to make th
Actually, she had always had a dream in her heart, which was that the prince would drive a luxury car and stand in front of her with a bouquet of flowers...This scene appeared many times in her dreams, but she never expected that someone would actually do it."Um. I had time."Sierra nodded shyly.I thought to myself that I hadn't been able to contact my aunt and uncle, and I didn't know if they were at the villa or not. I decided to go out with this man first and check on them later when I could get in touch with them.Now, she completely forgot that Stephanie had warned her before that Raiden was a playboy.Raiden smirked and gentlemanly opened the door of the passenger seat for Sierra. After she sat inside, he walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat.Sierra sat in the car, lowered her gaze, and looked at the large bouquet of roses, immersing herself in the fragrance of the flowers. It was her first time rec
On the balcony outside the second floor of the villa, a slender figure was wrapped in a dark robe, standing there. The faint sunlight shone on the tall male body, creating a golden halo around the figure. The sharp short hair was topped with water droplets, giving it a cool and sexy look.Manuel had just finished taking a shower when he received a call from Cortez, reporting on the situation of the Maxwell family at the hospital. The cigarette butt flickered at his fingertips, and his sexy Adam's apple rolled up and down with each exhale of smoke rings.His cold narrowed black eyes deepened in color when he heard Cortez say that Maxwell had been arrested and the conflict between Jamiya and Stephanie had escalated. However, there was no extra expression on his face, as if everything had been expected long ago."Um." There was only a faint response before hanging up the phone.After finishing the cigarette in his hand, Manuel entered the bedroom. He pulled
"Stephanie, how could you..." Jamiya scolded.With an incredulous expression on her face, she couldn't believe that her daughter had easily pointed out her son.But compared to Jamiya's strong protectiveness towards her calf, Stephanie appeared much more rational."You should go and ask the doctors and nurses here first, to see if you can take him away," Stephanie said calmly, but beneath her calm exterior, there was a storm brewing.The remaining two police officers heard Stephanie's words and did not give them a hard time. They approached the glass and took a look at the person in the intensive care unit she had just pointed out. One of them went to find the doctor, and after a few minutes, Geovanni's attending physician, Dr. Cortez, rushed over. The three of them were communicating.At this moment, Jamiya finally realized that her daughter's actions were entirely because of Geovanni's current state, which the police officer couldn't take away.
The entire Goldmoor was cleansed by the night rain, seemingly washing away the sins of the night. The sun slowly emerged on the horizon, heralding the start of a new day.Karsyn held her phone nervously."How are you? Where is Britney now?" Andreas sat on the edge of the bed, shaking his silly sister.When he was heading home from the Seventh Club, he overheard people talking about something. Curiously, he approached and listened. To his surprise, it was actually about his friend Britney...What happened to them in the end?They all didn't know. According to Mr. Castro, they sent the person who was rear-ended to the hospital and then came back, but with Mr. Castro taking care of the rest, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.He didn't want to hear that there was no major issue. All he wanted was one hundred percent certainty.He made several phone calls, Britney's phone was turned off, Bryant's phone couldn't be reached, and Raid
People over here haven't even recovered from their sadness to make a decision, but these two individuals have already started discussing calmly about which arm or organ the person is missing.Everyone wanted Bryant to stay in the hospital for a few days, worried that he had hit his head and might have some aftereffects. However, he couldn't hold on and insisted on going back...So Manuel instructed Raiden to take Bryant home and have him rest for a few days.Manuel and Britney returned to the villa, and it was already dawn."I'll go take a shower first." Exhausted after a night of tossing and turning, Britney, who was already extremely tired, looked at her muddy body and didn't want to just lie down and go to sleep like that. She decided that even a quick shower would be more comfortable than sleeping in her current state."I helped you!" Manuel took a step forward and opened the bathroom door for Britney."No need! You were injured too, but
The doctor in his fifties walked out first, while the other unrelated medical staff left from the other side.Jamiya immediately got up from the chair and ran over, with Stephanie following behind. The two of them hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my son (brother)?"Maxwell walked with heavy steps and followed along.The attending doctor was surrounded by three people, took off his mask, and said, "The person has been saved, but once his condition improves a little, we will proceed with the next surgery.""Being alive is enough, being alive is enough... Doctor, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate well and let him recover quickly and undergo the surgery." Jamiya's suspended heart finally settled.No matter what, as long as you are still alive, it's good.Before, they said her son had only one breath left, and she knew it couldn't be true when she saw him for the last time.How could her son have had any trouble?Maxwell and
That night, there was a close encounter with life and death.The lights in the hospital poured down, Manuel's cold and rigid facial features were too terrifying, and his aura was too powerful, leaving the nearby doctors standing there at a loss, not daring to say a word."If your hand were disabled, I would have to find someone with all four limbs," Britney threatened, seeing that Manuel was still unmoved.This man really didn't take care of himself at all. Although he knew he wanted to protect himself, his hands were definitely injured badly.The man, who had been staring at Britney's wound, barely reacted when he heard her words. "Let's go!""Mr. Castro, come with me over here," the doctor said in a pleasing manner.At that moment, Raiden walked up to Manuel from a different direction."You go first, I'll follow," Manuel glanced at the older doctor.The doctor quickly said, "Okay!"After the doctor left, Raiden whisper
Raiden bumped Bryant's arm, indicating him to look at the affectionate couple after the robbery.Raiden has always been puzzled as to why there are so many flowers and plants outside, yet they insist on hanging themselves on a tree.However, seeing Manuel cherish someone so much, Britney wondered if she had saved the Milky Way in her past life.Britney let Manuel carry her onto the car.Now she is covered in mud everywhere, originally wearing a white evening gown, but now she looks like a beggar who has just come out of a garbage dump.There was not a single clean spot, whether on the body or on the face.Just as she was putting her down, Britney caught sight of the large patch of crimson on Manuel's arm, illuminated by the dim light inside the car."Manuel, what happened to your hand?" Britney pulled his hand over, blood had already soaked through his white shirt, flowing down his arm onto the back of his hand.It was as if at
