"I had something to do, so I won't disturb you anymore!"

A cold and low voice, hiding a hint of chill, directly refused without giving the other party any face.

The next second, Britney felt an unusual temperature in her cold palms. Before Britney could react, her body had already followed that tall and sturdy figure, being led away by Manuel.

Standing on the lush green lawn, Manuel faced Britney and held her hand.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Manuel's icy eyes flickered with concern.

"Every winter is like this, but it gets better in spring." Britney has gotten used to it, and she has actually seen many doctors and taken many supplements, but it was all in vain.

Standing under the grand courtyard, being looked at like this by Manuel, Britney blushed.

Holding Britney's fair hand, Manuel earnestly gazed at her rosy face. "In every future winter, you will have me! Being with me, you don't have to care about others' opinions."

In an instant, the overwhelming feeling of satisfaction fille

    The wedding came to a complete end.The departing guests, still lingering with the memory of the extravagant wedding just now, couldn't help but continue their discussions, with some gossiping specifically about Britney.Britney and Karsyn didn't want to listen to gossip as they walked out of the Platinum Hotel.As Britney stepped out of the hotel door, pink and yellow rose petals filled the air, falling slowly from the sky like snowflakes. Instantly, a refreshing floral scent filled the air.Britney looked a bit stunned...She stretched out her hand, took a piece of delicate and dripping flower petal, and laid it quietly in her palm...While everyone was surprised and discussing, two drones appeared in the sky, trailing two red banners."Britney""I love you."At this moment, an elegant and tall figure emerged from behind a nearby marble pillar and walked straight towards Britney.With a large bouquet of roses in hand, he knelt down on one knee, his voice deep and filled with tendern

    Although she was already past the age for falling in love, Britney still couldn't exclude these feelings.Britney was taken to a super-sized pink hot air balloon and, with the help of the staff, she and Manuel boarded the balloon and slowly ascended into the sky.Looking at every blade of grass and every object on the ground, slowly shrinking, everything seemed to disappear except for them.Facing Manuel alone, Britney felt a sudden panic and a hint of shyness in her heart."Because time was tight, so many things were arranged by them. But they were all my ideas... Is it a bit childish?" Manuel's usually cold face showed a rare hint of nervousness.Actually, these should have happened twenty years ago. Unfortunately... it was twenty years too late.Britney's exquisite features brought a slight smile to her face. It was unexpected to see that Manuel, who had previously left a cold and distant impression on people, had such a side."I have never been in a relationship before, but I will

    Quinten's words made Britney furrow her brows and stop the action of picking up the food."Manuel used to be such an outstanding person at Goldmoor. Although I didn't have much interaction with him, just a few encounters made me realize that he was not ordinary! I even thought he would take over the Castro family business in the future, but I didn't expect him to suddenly go to the training area!"Quinten seemed lost in memories, his face becoming slightly solemn, as he spoke in a deliberate manner."Dad, do you mean to say that his going to the training area wasn't so simple?" Britney knew very little about these matters, after all, in the past, her eyes were only on Conrad.Quinten nodded.“Dad, if Manuel really is that exceptional and becomes the son-in-law of the Hammond family, we won’t be at a loss!” Britney picked up a piece of crispy duck and handed it to her father. “If you really have concerns, you can help me assess the situation when both families meet the day after tomorr

    Such a straightforward and bold confession...Britney's heart stirred a ripple.Suddenly, her phone rang.Britney picked up the phone,“Britney, you’ve hit the jackpot, haven’t you? I thought a man like Manuel wouldn’t understand anything about romance, but it turns out he’s not at all hesitant in pursuing women!”The corners of her mouth slightly curved upwards, Britney smiled lightly and said, "I didn't expect it either.""What a domineering CEO! I envy you so much!" Karsyn's eyes were filled with hearts. "Where are you? Do you want to come out for a shopping trip?"“I’m on my way to work at the Hammond Group.”"Do you have to be so boring? The Miss of the Hammond family, still has to go to work?”Seeing the familiar grand buildings outside the car window, Britney said, "Karsyn, I got to go ! Just come pick me up after work."By the time Karsyn finished speaking, the vehicle had already stopped at the door.Before getting off the car, Britney said to Bryant, "You don't have to wait

    Britney had stayed up until the early hours to write this and was naturally clear about it."Chairman, rather than sticking to the rules, it is better to take risks and start anew."Indeed, if Britney's plan could succeed, the Hammond Group would take a big step forward and overcome the bottleneck it has been facing for so long. However, if it failed, it would also bring certain crisis to the Hammond Group!Quinten pondered for a moment and closed the folder. He skillfully pressed the speed dial and said, "Malia! Notify all department vice managers and above positions, we will hold a meeting in ten minutes sharp!"Hanging up the phone, Quinten handed the proposal back to Britney, saying, "You get ready!"Britney nodded, knowing that her father had agreed to her plan, and began to prepare for what lay ahead.Ten minutes later, all managers and above positions of the Hammond Group gathered in the conference room.Britney followed Quinten inside and went straight to the furthest position

    "Yes, Chairman!"“Good. Then we will temporarily establish the Marketing Department Group B, with Britney as the group leader. You can choose staff from the company above the manager level as you see fit, primarily to execute and complete this project. As for the existing Marketing Department, it will be Group A, and Group B will need their full support unconditionally.”"Yes!" Kyson Leonard, the former deputy director of the Marketing Department, stood up and responded.Everyone clearly felt the chairman's favoritism, and although other employees had objections, they dared not speak up."Alright, let's adjourn!" Quinten announced, and then called out to Britney, who was packing up, "You stay!"Britney finished packing her things and walked up to Quinten."Chairman!""No one is here now; you can still call me Dad!" Quinten pointed to the lower left position, gesturing for her to sit down."Business is business, and family is family! In the company, you are the chairman, but at home, y

    At half past two in the afternoon, the fast food on the table had been sitting there for almost half an hour. Britney crawled out from the pile of files and noticed the meal box; only then did she remember that she hadn't eaten yet.“Ding ding—”Just as she was about to open the packaging to fill her stomach, a chat notification sounded from her computer.Britney busily clicked on the flashing profile picture.'Hugh': Darling, did you look for me?'Britney': Um. With an eye roll.Hugh is Britney's senior, Hugh Donaldson, whom she met while studying abroad. He may seem unreliable when speaking, but he is exceptionally reliable when it comes to doing things.People who don't know him think that he liked her, but in reality, he was like that with everyone.'Hugh': Give me two minutes...Britney’s eye twitched slightly. It was a coincidence that she met this guy, and they often communicated online without meeting in person. She had been worried that Conrad might misunderstand their relati

    The sky was gradually getting dark...Karsyn received a call from Andreas, but it was not his own voice.Albert, who was Andreas' childhood friend, was Albert Fitzpatrick.The voice on the phone was very noisy, and Karsyn couldn't hear very clearly. However, she understood roughly that she was asked to hurry to Seventh Club because Andreas had an argument with someone.That person was none other than Geovanni from last night!"Franklin, I'm really sorry. I'm going to stand you up today!" Hanging up the phone, Karsyn stepped on the gas pedal and accelerated the car to 150 miles per hour."Do you want me to accompany you?" It was evident that Karsyn was anxious."No need! It's nothing, I'll just take you back to the apartment," Karsyn forced a smile to reassure Franklin. She had noticed earlier that Franklin seemed a bit tired, and although she didn't understand the details of his work, she didn't want him to be distracted or burdened b

    Today, Geovanni did not come to the company and did not ask for leave from the company.And Malia told her that on that day, as soon as she and Hugh left, Geovanni claimed to have something to do and didn't go to the dinner. They should have left the company one after the other.Originally, Malia didn't pay much attention to it. However, after two consecutive incidents, the team leader asked her to pay attention to the morning news, which made Malia think that this matter might be related to Geovanni, so she reported it to him.Britney had just come down from the Board of Directors and let Hugh into the office, instructing Malia to brew two cups of coffee.Britney sat on a leather office chair, while Hugh sat across from her."Hugh, put aside what you have on your hands for now.""Did you want me to investigate this matter?"Hugh and I were truly on the same wavelength when it came to work, we could basically think as one."Yes

    She should have realized the reaction of Uncle's family earlier, but she didn't expect Maxwell to actually threaten her father."Dad, I'm sorry!"If Uncle's family targeted her, she could handle it on her own or ignore it. It seems that this time, the Maxwell family wants to take advantage of this opportunity to force her father to step down.Quinten lovingly patted Britney's head and said, "Britney, you did the right thing! If Geovanni continues to be spoiled like this, he will surely be ruined!""Yeah! Big brother and the others were completely unaware of Geovanni's problem and were still protecting him," Diana said."But, big brother said so, what should we do next?""Mom, it's okay. You don't need to worry," Britney reassured."Diana, you go to sleep first," Quinten pulled Diana's clothes closer, considerately escorting her to the bedroom door and comforting her with a few words.Seeing Diana return to the room, Quinten fin

    Manuel didn't eat much, but Britney did. Manuel kept serving her food, and unknowingly she ended up eating more.After dinner, Karsyn quickly disappeared with Andreas.Manuel gave a perfect score to the actions of these two siblings. Britney ate a bit too much and suggested that they take a walk together.The two of them, like an ordinary couple, walked hand in hand and took a stroll in the nearby park. There were elderly people exercising in the park, and when they saw the two of them, they chuckled and smiled at them.Britney still couldn't figure out why Manuel kissed her in front of their grandparents. Britney lightly tapped him, but it was misunderstood as playful banter between the couple, and they laughed even harder at them."These two make such a perfect couple!"When leaving, these words entered the ears. However, the uncommunicative Manuel, instead, turned around and said thank you.After a while, the two of them returned t

    If marrying her was more based on the memories from childhood and my hidden feelings for her all along.So now, he had gained a deeper understanding of her.And, it seemed that he had discovered a secret, possibly a secret that she herself was unaware of.This made him very happy, sweeping away the gloom he had just experienced.Geovanni's face turned pale as Manuel released his grip. "Ouch," he exclaimed, using his other hand to cradle the one that had been squeezed. He took two steps back. That hand was practically immobile; even the slightest movement caused excruciating pain.Under the myriad of lights and shadows, Manuel, a mature man with a deadly charm, inserted his slender hand into his pocket.Actually, Manuel didn't use much force, otherwise Geovanni's hand would have been injured long ago."You guys accompany him to the hospital and take a look." Britney looked at Geovanni's swollen wrist, which had been pinched, and said t

    Geovanni was called out by his friend to have a hot pot and, by the way, to discuss his interest in working for the Hammond Group. Being persuaded by his friend, he ended up having a few drinks."Isn't that Andreas?" Geovanni immediately recognized Andreas, who was sitting there fishing for meat.People always have a tendency to compare themselves when they are together. Geovanni and Andreas are the same age. They attended the same school, in the same grade, and even the same class since childhood. They are both heirs to wealthy families, known as the Hammond family and the Melton family, respectively. It is inevitable that they will be compared by others in the future.The Hammond Group was Goldmoor's leading conglomerate, and Geovanni had a sense of superiority, naturally unwilling to be surpassed by others.In his eyes, Andreas was just a wild and unruly little brat."It's really Andreas!" said Korbin Fuentes. Andreas also recognized him, as the

    The three of them were together, as if they had returned to their past lives.Time has passed, it has been almost half a year since Andreas last came home."Andreas, what is the schedule like in your training area?" Britney, sitting in the passenger seat, remembered the last time she called Manuel and realized she didn't even know his basic routine.Before, I had the idea of asking Bryant, but that guy is just like a block of wood. Besides driving, when it comes to anything about their training area, he doesn't say a word.Always makes people feel mysterious.Andreas squeezed forward from the back seat and said, "I heard that my future brother-in-law is also from the training area.""Yes, you're quite proud! Recently, during this period of time, Britney is the headline figure of Goldmoor. She's showered with love by your future brother-in-law.""How come I smell something sour..." Andreas laughed, revealing a row of small white teeth,
