Stephanie looked at her younger brother with frustration.
Jamiya listened to her daughter's words without chiming in. But she didn't think her son was at fault either; it was just a child's nature, and she could only say that her son was not yet very sophisticated.
Of course, both the palm and the back of the hand were flesh.
So Jamiya chose not to speak.
"Sis, I had ways to develop the Hammond Group even better," Geovanni said. As long as he took that position, he could fulfill his ambitions and overcome any difficulties according to his own will.
"Little brother, I know you are smart. Sister has things to consider, but before that, we must find a way to regain the Hammond Group, so you must learn to be patient first." Stephanie, who is also the future inheritor of the Hammond Group, couldn't speak too harshly to her younger brother, so she could only coax and teach him at the same time.
"Alright!" Geovanni responded.
Seeing her youn
With the air conditioning on, Karsyn started sweating after a while.When I was resting, I suddenly remembered, isn't Ernesto the boss here?Karsyn walked over and said, "Ernesto, you let the people outside open the door.""My phone was taken by Raiden."Ernesto's casual remark hit like a bolt from the blue."This, my phone is for you to use!" Karsyn handed his phone to him."It's useless. Instead of struggling in vain, it's better to sit down and have a drink." When Karsyn walked in, he already knew.Karsyn placed her phone and bag on the couch and sat down. "When did Raiden let us out? It's impossible for us to stay here overnight, right?"Ernesto handed her a cup filled with wine, "I don't know."Seeing Ernesto's indifferent expression, Karsyn was on the verge of going crazy. Trying hard to calm the anger inside, Karsyn scanned the entire room.This is a private room specially designed for couples. Couples' ite
Raiden watched Ernesto's actions on the monitor, turned around and walked away hurriedly."Raiden, where are you going?" Andreas shouted.Raiden turned his head and looked at the foolish child, saying, "Hurry up and go! Ernesto is showing his power, are you still waiting to be beaten by him...""..."Andreas was speechless.Returning the gaze back to the surveillance footage...In the resulting scene, Ernesto's face grew larger and larger, and then the screen shook a few times, swiftly turning into a straight line with a loud snap.Everything went wrong!"Ah, Raiden, wait for me..." Andreas quickly ran out of the room.In a couple's private room.Karsyn saw everything calm down and shouted at Ernesto."I'll take care of it!" Ernesto said without even looking back."Damn it, Ernesto, what do you have to take responsibility for!" My beautiful face...Ernesto threw the miniature camera he had in
Under the light, Manuel looked incredibly handsome, even with desire in his eyes. His sculpted features and sharply defined jawline were undeniably attractive no matter how you looked at him.Britney flapped her hands, which were lifted high by Manuel and restrained on both sides of her body.In this aspect, Britney, who is a rookie, cannot be compared to Manuel, who is ambitious and scheming.At the moment of knocking on the door, he had already prepared himself, determined to achieve his goal.So, Britney at this moment was like a piece of fish on a chopping board, no matter how Manuel butchered her...Britney said, "Manuel, the door hasn't been closed yet!"Manuel didn't care at all!At this moment, all he could see in his eyes were Britney's sweet, cotton candy-like little mouth, her fair, baby-like face, and of course, a certain place he had been wanting to touch again.No matter what, today he had to take a few sips on th
The elderly servant, Morgan Jackson, watched Raiden grow up, but Raiden was more worrisome than the average child. He also saw everything that happened in this household.Although Sir often punished Raiden and hit him, deep down he still cared for the child. He also hoped that Raiden could stay at home for one or two more days and spend more time with Sir.Just like when he was older, he also wanted the younger ones at home to spend more time with him. It's a fact."That's great! I can spend more time with Sir!" Morgan beamed with a smile on his face.Raiden patted the old man's shoulder and said, "Morgan, you go rest early. I'll go in first!""Okay, okay!" Morgan replied, and also prepared to go back to the room to rest.Raiden took off his slippers and headed straight to Frankie Calderon's room.He pushed the door and walked in. The door was pushed against the wall and swung back and forth twice."Charlatan, I'm back!" Raiden
Her gaze shifted downward from her.Staying in the middle position.Britney followed Manuel's gaze...Britney's work uniform was the kind of V-neck OL professional attire, although not revealing, Manuel's gaze was too blatant, as if he had already seen through it."Manuel, you..." Britney gritted her teeth, her ears turning red.Thinking about last night, Manuel's hands were obedient for a while."Britney, I didn't say anything. Just eat your meal, it's getting late."After Manuel's reminder, Britney looked at the time and indeed it was not early.After they finished, Manuel accompanied Britney to the company.On the road, Britney sat in the passenger seat."By the way, where did Bryant go?" It's been so long, I only saw him once at the wedding, and then he seemed to disappear halfway through."He was temporarily unemployed! He will continue to come to work after I leave," Manuel said calmly."Can it
Quinten took the file that Britney handed to him, glanced through its contents, and looked up to ask Britney, "What is this?""The chairman could take a closer look at the content," Britney explained while standing."Isn't that our company's spokesperson?" Quinten saw a familiar face."Yes, it's Angeline," Britney confirmed her father's question."Wasn't Angeline always healthy, lively, and positive?" Quinten looked at the picture, which contradicted his impression, and couldn't believe it."In the past, when choosing a spokesperson, I remember I participated in the voting. Among several popular celebrities, they were all very beautiful. This girl was youthful and sunny, and at that time, several senior executives and the Board of Directors had different opinions, but in the end, she was still chosen," Quinten recalled."People change! For example, Geovanni was very well-behaved when he was young, but as he grew up, it wasn't quite the same,
Karsyn looked ahead and there was Ernesto, wearing a lonely and cold expression on his face.What did he come back for?Ernesto pushed open the door and naturally saw Karsyn coming out of the bathroom. She was holding a box of Band-Aids and placed it on the glass table.Without making any pause, he left.Last night, after Karsyn rolled under the sofa, although he didn't inquire, he soon caught a faint smell of blood in the air. Being in his line of work, he was too sensitive to this scent.Seeing Ernesto's actions, Karsyn, who was far away, couldn't see clearly what he had in his hand. She approached and took a closer look, only to find out that it was a box of Band-Aids.What a strange person!Grabbing some Band-Aids, Karsyn chased after him."Ernesto, would you like to have a meal together?" Karsyn shouted to Ernesto, who was only a few steps away. Purely out of gratitude, she didn't like owing people favors.Anyway, s
Compared to Karsyn, who grew up in a wealthy family and paid little attention to his eating manners, Ernesto ate much more elegantly. Despite being involved in the underworld, Ernesto still had good manners and etiquette.Upon hearing Karsyn's words, Ernesto's actions came to a halt, "This has nothing to do with you."Karsyn pouted and continued eating the delicious food in front of her. Karsyn has always had a good appetite and is not very picky, so it is impossible for her to lose weight and become the current popular slim beauty. There was a time when she specifically tried to lose weight because Franklin didn't like overweight people, and that period of time was like going through hell.Smelling the aroma of meat, her stomach growled, and she lost ten kilograms in a month. After a month, she still couldn't control herself, and the result of indulging in excessive eating was not only gaining back her original weight but also adding another ten kilograms.
Skyler had fallen asleep, but her mind remained alert. After all, Raiden had left a psychological scar on her today.As soon as Raiden mentioned being hungry, she couldn't help but complain to herself. He hadn't felt hungry earlier, and now, suddenly, he was.But despite the resentment in her heart, she didn’t dare voice it. After all, he was the young master, and she was just a servant..."Should I heat it up for you?" Since this "ancestor" had called for her, it was clear he wouldn’t do it himself. And it was late, so the other family members had likely already gone to sleep.Sure enough, the young master kicked his feet and said, "Should I do it myself?" If he was going to do it himself, why bother calling her? The real reason was that he couldn’t sleep and, seeing her sleep soundly beside him, a psychological urge stirred within him.If he couldn’t sleep, neither should she. It was a kind of unhealthy mentality.He wanted to wake her up
Skyler finally had the chance to observe the entire room. The decor was simple yet refined.A large sky-blue bed, a desk with a desktop LCD computer, and some model decorations—all expensive just at a glance. It matched his unruly personality well. However, it was clear he didn’t come home often; everything here still looked brand new."Where are you sleeping? Why are you asking me?"Since his father let her move in, he must have arranged a place for her."Do you have an extra blanket? I’ll sleep on the floor."The bed was big enough for two people, and she had slept with him before—otherwise, how would she have gotten pregnant? But at this moment, she didn’t dare sleep with him. She hadn’t forgotten the way he had looked downstairs, as if he wanted to devour her alive.She didn’t dare provoke him again, afraid that if she shared a bed with him, she might not even know how she died.She knew t
"Do you think you've found yourself a backer now? Is that why you feel so important?"Raiden’s tone was full of sarcasm.He looked exactly like a little kid afraid of losing his father's love.It’s often said that women mature faster than men, and Skyler was one of those women. She could see exactly what Raiden was upset about, and a smile tugged at her lips."No, Mr.Calderon! My biggest backer is you," Skyler admitted her mistake.Like hell he’d believe that! The innocence she had before was completely gone now.Raiden let out a cold snort and sneered, "Skyler, I didn't expect your appetite to be this big. First, you took my house, and now, in the blink of an eye, you've managed to squeeze a fortune out of my dad. Did your brain suddenly become enlightened? You’re making money at an impressive speed!""Mr.Calderon, I did go back on my word in this matter. I’m sorry! Here’s the key to the house you
Every parent, when talking about their child, always wears the kindest smile. Frankie was no exception. And when he thought about the fact that he would soon become a grandfather, his mood improved even more.Feeling good, he couldn’t help but chat a little more with Skyler.As Frankie flipped through old photos of Raiden’s childhood and talked about his younger days, Skyler truly saw how adorable he had been as a child.Uncle Calderon wasn’t lying—Mr.Calderon had been handsome since he was little.Big eyes, double eyelids, a high nose bridge, rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and fair skin—all combined with that charmingly arrogant expression…Skyler subconsciously placed her hand on her belly, wondering if the baby inside would be just as good-looking. If it were a girl and took after Mr.Calderon, she certainly wouldn’t be unattractive."Master, dinner is ready!" a servant came forward and announced.
"She should take a good look at herself! She doesn't want to marry me?" Raiden shouted.Who did she think she was? And who was he? Since when did a woman have the right to reject him?Since he was old enough to understand things, he had been surrounded by countless women, all vying for his attention. Which woman didn't want to marry him?Raiden sneered internally. This woman was definitely playing hard to get in front of his father, trying to win his favor so that he would pressure him into marrying her.I didn't see this coming.Skyler, so you dare play tricks on me!Skyler shivered slightly under Raiden’s sharp gaze. Was it a crime now to not want to marry him?Frankie stepped forward and kicked his own son. "And you should take a good look at yourself!"That kick wasn’t light. Raiden gasped in pain and quickly pulled his leg back to clutch it.Damn it!He was almost thirty, yet his old man still kicked him with
When Raiden walked in, he actually found that woman in his house!Without a word, he rushed up to her, grabbed her wrist, and started dragging her outside with large strides."Mr.Calderon, what are you doing?" Caught off guard by his strength, Skyler’s wrist throbbed in pain as she frowned and couldn't help but cry out."Don't ask, just come with me!"As soon as Raiden received a call from the person he had arranged to take Skyler to the hospital, he rushed back immediately.He had sent her to get an abortion, and she was already on the operating table—yet somehow, the old trickster in his family had intercepted her! Just thinking about how the plan was almost completed but was suddenly interrupted made him incredibly frustrated.How could he not know what that old fox was scheming?For the past few years, every time he returned home, the old man would pester him about marriage. Eventually, he got so fed up that he outrigh
Frankie was setting up Skyler, but unfortunately, she was too young and inexperienced to realize it. She had never encountered such schemes before, let alone faced an old fox like Frankie.At first, Skyler had no idea who had decided against her abortion. It wasn’t until she had spoken with Frankie for a while that she finally understood—it was the old master himself who wanted to keep his grandchild.She had already promised Raiden that she would terminate the pregnancy, and she had struggled internally for a long time. But in the end, her heart leaned toward keeping the child.“However, I have three conditions.”“Go ahead, go ahead…” Frankie was so delighted that she had agreed that he would have accepted a hundred conditions if necessary.“First, after the child is born, I want to be able to visit them whenever I wish. But you can rest assured—I will only be visiting the child and will have
Raiden’s Father...Hearing Frankie's words, Skyler couldn't help but look up. He wasn’t like what she had imagined. The middle-aged man in front of her was well-maintained, looking energetic and full of vitality. His smile was warm and friendly. There were indeed some resemblances between him and Raiden—he must have been quite a charming man in his younger years.Seeing her subtly relax, Frankie chuckled, “What do you think? Not quite what you imagined, right?”Having her thoughts seen through so easily, Skyler blushed, feeling slightly embarrassed. “It’s a bit different from what I expected,” she admitted.“Sit down and talk. I’m not used to looking up at people while speaking.” Frankie deliberately said this, knowing that otherwise, she wouldn’t sit down.Just as he had anticipated, Skyler realized that standing while talking to someone like this was somewhat impolite. Beside
Skyler looked at the cold, sterile operating table, her steps heavy as she walked over and lay down with the nurse’s help. Staring at her still-flat stomach, she silently whispered to the tiny life inside her, "Baby, I'm sorry."He had been so well-behaved. She had heard that during the first three months of pregnancy, morning sickness was common, sometimes severe enough to make one feel like the world was spinning. Yet, she hadn’t experienced any of that—she felt just like a normal person. She knew her baby must be a very obedient child.Unfortunately, she had no ability to keep him. If she forced his birth, he would only suffer alongside her.So, I’m sorry. It’s because I’m not brave enough…She had never intended to keep this child, but that didn’t mean she had no feelings for him. He was, after all, her own flesh and blood."Miss Oneal, we’re going to administer the anesthesia now. Try to r
