"Regarding the large sums of money being given to managers, it has nothing to do with me," Quinten said. "I have never done such a thing, and the Hammond Group has been minimally involved in the materials being reviewed for Hudson. I admit that there have been instances of treating clients to meals and making small gestures in the management area, but it is absolutely impossible to constitute bribery, let alone the accused 9 million dollars."
"So this time we were framed and set up?" Britney looked at Quinten.
I also breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
She actually knows that businessmen sometimes do shady things to win over clients for their own interests, such as bribery. Especially in the management area... She is worried that her father is really involved or on the edge of conscience. If it is true, then even with great abilities, it may not be able to help her father avoid imprisonment. But now that her father has vetoed it, the incident is not valid, so
"Diana, when did I ever deceive you? Look, I am standing here in front of you perfectly fine," Quinten pulled Diana closer, comforting her."But the news said it was quite serious.""You have to trust your husband," Quinten said. "After all these years, don't you know me yet? How could I possibly do such a thing?"Diana's eyes turned red, "Hmm. It's good that you didn't do it... I was really afraid that something would happen to you."After speaking, unable to restrain their emotions, tears started to fall."You see, how come you started crying while talking!" Quinten tenderly wiped Diana's tears."Quinten, you couldn't have had something happen."Britney watched the interaction between her parents.A flicker in the heart.A person's life is really good, just like this.At least, she felt that it was fine to live a plain and ordinary life.Suddenly, the phone she was holding in her hand vibrated. She looked
Britney was not mincing her words.Geovanni has been released on bail by Maxwell and Jamiya. Although the amount was substantial, it was worth it when spent on their son.The hatred towards Britney just kept growing...Britney couldn't wait any longer to see Quinten go to jail, and she imagined the scene of him falling from the sky to the ground. It must have been quite a sight...However, they came over today and they didn't expect Britney to be there as well."Britney, what do you think you are? How dare you accuse my son!" Jamiya persisted, "Maxwell, are you just going to let this little bitch talk about our son like that?""See off the guest," Quinten said firmly, showing no mercy.His daughter couldn't tolerate them speaking ill of others."Please!" the butler stepped forward."Quinten, you've done well! Indulging your daughter, dealing with my son, making me lose money. I won't let it go just like that. And I advis
Manuel said that if there was anything, one could directly approach Raiden.So she was not polite either."I ordered some dishes, let's have lunch together!" Britney handed the menu to the waiter. Then she said to Bryant, who was standing beside her, "Why don't you sit down and join us?""Okay," Bryant didn't bother with pleasantries this time either.Raiden leaned back leisurely in his chair, gazing at the woman in front of him with his mesmerizing peach blossom eyes."Tsk... Marrying Manuel, you had already suffered greatly from his toxicity."Britney pursed her lips. "This was the fastest way to wake you up, hopefully without disturbing you and your partner in bed.""Cough..." Raiden, who was drinking tea, coughed heavily. "You're just like Manuel, never using foul language. So, what brings you here? Manuel has already informed me in advance, so feel free to give me any task." He said with a hint of resignation."So I'll jus
"Otherwise, what did Ms. Hammond think it was?" Rafael sneered."Okay. I got it," Britney said, and then she turned around and left the Finance Department.Rafael and Konnor watched Britney's figure and smiled at each other.Back in her office, Britney picked up the phone."Raiden.""Sister-in-law, how many phone calls did you make today? If Manuel finds out, he will definitely kill me.""Don't worry, he wouldn't."Without further ado, Britney asked, "Do you know anyone in the Police?""What's wrong?" Raiden asked in response."I heard that the Police have the complete financial records of the Hammond Group. If possible, could you help me find a way to get a copy?""Raiden reminded them that their lawyer could completely request a copy from them through legal means.""We cannot fully trust our current lawyer. So I hope you can find a way to help me get a new one," she didn't want someone she didn't fully tr
Upon hearing Manuel's words, Britney felt like a thousand wild horses were galloping over her head.He wondered if there were other people in the car.The magnetic voice was extremely tempting, and Britney's fair earlobe was lightly bitten by Manuel.Not painful, but very itchy, filled with a sense of ambiguity."And I only accept repayment in that aspect... Britney, you know," Manuel added.Britney shifted her body slightly, creating some distance between herself and Manuel."Do you know what I wanted?" Britney asked."Of course.""Why didn't this man get reincarnated as the tapeworm in her stomach?""Britney, have you thought about how to repay me?" Manuel leaned closer. His eyebrows slightly raised."What do you think I need now?" Britney looked at his perfect features.Manuel's thin lips curled into a smile. "Britney doesn't know yet, but I was exceptionally gifted in numbers.""Manuel, I think y
I didn't expect Manuel's thinking to be so meticulous.In such a short period of time, not only did they find the problems in the account, but they also figured out the breakthrough points of the whole matter.Britney looked at him...How could this man be underestimated?And as for Manuel, she had become increasingly curious, always feeling that there was something extraordinary about this man..."Don't tell me you're just starting to fall for me now!" Manuel moved his eyes away from the computer screen and looked at Britney, who had been staring at him with a gaze filled with curiosity and admiration. "You take a look first. I'll go take a shower."With that, Manuel was about to leave."Manuel..."She pulled his arm and called his name."What happened?"She tiptoed and kissed his warm thin lips.Her sudden action caught him off guard.Originally, I only intended to follow my own heart and give him
Hearing the voice behind Raiden, there was no need to think, and I also knew his rudeness.Sometimes, I really didn't understand the joy Raiden found in the midst of a myriad of flowers."Okay." Raiden casually grabbed a bathrobe and put it on.Britney was embarrassed, but she continued, "You can have someone investigate the relationship between the CEO of Trust Technologies and our company's vice chairman, Rafael, to see if there are any undisclosed business transactions. Also, please help me look into the background of a secretary named Abbigail who either used to work or currently works at Trust Technologies, the more detailed, the better.""Is that all?""Well, that's all for now. Did you find out anything about the relationship between Maxwell and Rafael that I asked you to check earlier?""They did have a relatively close connection, but no concrete evidence has been found to prove their special relationship. Usually, they would commun
"Come in," Britney looked at the door.Billy pushed the door open and entered. "Ms. Hammond, this is what you wanted."Britney took the folder that Billy handed to her and said, "Thank you."Opening the first page, there were photocopies on it that had nothing to do with what she wanted. Britney looked up at Billy.Billy smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "I had the thing you wanted tucked inside."Britney also understood Billy's meaning. "Trouble.""When I was just looking for information, Mr. Sampson suddenly arrived. Seeing that I had this document in my hand, he didn't give me a hard time. Inside the company, it is well known that the chairman and vice chairman do not get along.""Um. Thank you!" Billy was cautious in his actions, which Britney found somewhat admirable."Then I went back first.""Alright. Goodbye, Mr. Deleon."Billy left, and Britney began to search as well. Sure enough, she found wha
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
