Ernesto sat on the sofa, resembling a king of the night, and the aura around him was intimidating.
Britney believed that she had not seen it wrong, Ernesto did have feelings for Karsyn.
"If you have feelings for Karsyn, I hope you will pursue her," Britney said, her eyes fixed on Ernesto. "Karsyn is my best friend, and I want her to be happy, something her current boyfriend cannot provide. Most importantly, I don't want her to get hurt..."
It is good for a man to have ambition, but when he becomes too focused on his career, he ends up playing with the other person's emotions. That's why she really had to come and find Ernesto.
Karsyn had been getting deeper and deeper, and she didn't want a day to come when Karsyn would be badly hurt by Franklin.
"Sorry..." Ernesto's voice rang out like ice. "Karsyn and I are impossible, you should find someone else..."
At that moment, there was a sudden knocking sound outside, and then the door was pus
On the first day of work, Manuel was already being fed so much alcohol. When did Manuel become so honest?I opened the door to the room and heard the sound of someone taking a shower in the bathroom.Britney placed the glucose water by the bedside and then entered a separate workspace, turned on the computer, and prepared to handle work matters.Sometimes, when you focus on one thing, you often forget about other things, like Manuel who was still taking a shower.Britney opened the door to the workspace half an hour later, but Manuel was not in the room. The sound of running water continued from the bathroom.Britney's alarm bells rang loudly in her mind...Drunk people, if they wash for too long, it's not good...I twisted the bathroom doorknob, but the door was locked from the inside."Manuel! Manuel... are you okay in there?" Britney anxiously knocked on the door.Britney tried calling out a few more times, but there
Conrad poured three-quarters full of red wine for Geovanni."Aren't you the deputy manager of the Product Department now? How can you be so bored?" Conrad, dressed in a well-fitted suit, had a slight smile on his lips, as if he had discovered something interesting.Geovanni took a gulp, treating it as plain water."How could I not know? Quinten and the others did it on purpose! He may be the deputy manager of the Product Department on the surface, but in reality, he's just a figurehead with nothing to do!" Geovanni complained.Conrad took a shallow bite, a hint of calculation flickered in his eyes, but his words were comforting. "After all, he is your uncle, and your cousin, they wouldn't treat you like that...""How could it not be possible! I arranged for two people to join the company, but one got rejected. It was only with great difficulty that my father managed to use his connections to get one person into the Product Department," Geovanni sai
Yesenia pushed open the door and, speaking in her accented Chinese, announced, "Look, who has arrived!"Everyone looked towards the door and applauded to welcome..."Welcome our class flower and school beauty! Or should I say, our dearest class monitor!""Britney, what did you eat to grow up? How come you are getting more beautiful as you grow older!"***The more people there were, the livelier the atmosphere became, and some people started making a commotion.Britney's appearance elevated the atmosphere to its highest point.From head to toe, including the skin, she had an unbelievable beauty. Even when she was just wearing a simple tight-fitting professional outfit.Everyone gathered around a large round table, with a huge bouquet of flowers placed in the middle as decoration. There were about twenty classmates who had arrived, and some of them brought their family members along.Everyone's appearance was roughly the
In the spacious private room, exquisite dishes were being rotated by the waiter around the round table and skillfully placed on it.The best high school to enter Goldmoor, the best class, besides top-notch grades, also requires a wealthy background, either having both, or at least one of them.After graduation, they were also sought after by prestigious universities both domestically and internationally, except for those who took over their family businesses in advance. Those present were not just the second generation of the wealthy, but also elites in various fields.Every girl has a dream of a prince charming, and Conrad's appearance and demeanor belong to that category. He was very popular among girls when he was studying.Although Conrad and she were dating at that time, the girl's liking for him was irresistible."This is not something to joke about! It wouldn't be good if it caused misunderstandings later," Conrad said with a gentle smile.
Conrad had also been drinking quite a bit and he told Stephanie."Okay! I'll wait for you downstairs," Stephanie nodded. Then she cautiously followed her close high school friend, Ashlyn Higgins, as they stepped towards the elevator.Although some classmates didn't like Stephanie very much, they still took special care of her because she was pregnant, giving up their seats for her.Karsyn spat and said, "What a small world!"The voice was neither loud nor soft, and every person in the elevator could hear it clearly, and they all knew who Karsyn was referring to. Karsyn, on the other hand, had a nonchalant expression on his face. He had no intention of hiding or concealing the words he spoke, let them listen!Ashlyn glared at Karsyn and looked at Stephanie with concern.Stephanie shook her head, lowered her gaze, and showed no other expression on her face, but her hands on both sides tightly clenched the hem of her skirt.Karsyn, Britn
It was originally a good gathering of classmates. After dinner, everyone decided to go to a nightclub. How did such a thing happen...The wine-red BMW drove into the traffic flow...Britney rarely drove herself, not because she was showing off, but simply because she didn't like it.Karsyn sat in the passenger seat, occasionally glancing at Britney, who had an expressionless face.For someone who only has a driver's license and doesn't drive much in general, her driving skills were considered decent."Britney!" Karsyn called out to her anxiously, but didn't dare say much more."I'm fine. If you don't want to go up, when we get there, you can go back first," Britney said."How could I possibly leave you! Are you kidding me? I'm just wondering how Stephanie ended up falling on the ground," Karsyn exclaimed, grabbing her hair in frustration.Even though her mind wasn't working properly, she was certain that it definitely wasn't Br
No one had expected that Stephanie's child would be lost like this!Conrad took a few steps forward while holding his phone, turned the corner, and entered the secure passage, where he answered the call."Mom...""Conrad, why doesn't Stephanie ever answer my calls?" Jamiya's voice sounded particularly anxious on the other end.Conrad paused; his eyes fixed on the door of the operating room. "Mom..." he trailed off.At that time, he also didn't know whether he should tell Jamiya or not.Hearing Conrad's hesitant voice, Jamiya anxiously asked, "Conrad, what's wrong? Did something happen to Stephanie?""We are now in the hospital..." Conrad said reluctantly.He couldn't clearly describe what kind of mentality he had!Although he didn't like the unborn child, there was no ordinary joy from the moment he found out Stephanie was pregnant with their child. Later on, whenever Stephanie would hold his hand to feel the presence of
In the corridor, Jamiya's desolate cries could be heard."Daughter... Why do you have to do this? Why are you joking with your own life!"But Jamiya didn't dare to speak out the words that followed, she could only bear it silently."What? My grandson is gone?" Maxwell couldn't bear the blow when he heard the doctor's words. His body staggered, and Geovanni quickly stepped forward to support him, saying, "Dad!"Although the child was born with the surname of the Schwartz family, he is also their own grandson. If he were a male, he would inherit the Schwartz family business in the future!"Which family member are you? Come with me to the office, I will tell him some precautions," Rylee said, with her hands in her white coat and a serious expression on her face. She was no stranger to the power struggles of the wealthy, but it was the first time someone had joked about her life."I went!" Conrad stepped forward, but Jamiya propped himself up an
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
