The girl was seen wearing a white down jacket and a beige knitted long skirt, looking delicate and soft. Her long hair naturally fell behind her, giving off a sweet and charming aura.However, she was sitting in a wheelchair...Before coming, Britney had heard her parents mention some things about Livia Castro. Her disability was not congenital, but acquired later in life. As for the specific incident, there were many versions outside, and only the Castro family might know which version is true. However, Livia also had a congenital heart disease.Livia was pushed in by the servant, with an excessively pale face and a deep blue dye on it.Natalia hurried over and picked up a handkerchief, tenderly wiping it for her own daughter. "It's so cold outside, I told you not to go out and stay inside!" Her words were filled with affection and indulgence."Today, Manuel rarely brought Britney along, so I thought of painting a picture for Manuel!"Then two servants came in carrying a scroll paint
I lifted my gaze, but I couldn't find that gaze.Britney didn't pay much attention, but she was surprised when Manuel put a very good-looking shrimp meat into her bowl.Manuel, how do you know everything about me? In front of this person, Britney felt like a deer caught in headlights..."Manuel is so good to Britney!" Livia exclaimed with envy towards Britney."You will be your brother's wife in the future, Britney. If you don't treat her well, who will!" Natalia doted on her dumbfounded daughter."Yeah! Of course, the older brother naturally had to treat his own wife well!"The atmosphere during the meal was harmonious.After the meal, Manuel played chess with Daniel, while Britney was begged by Livia to go to her art studio."Britney, what was the feeling of being in love like?"Britney pushed Livia and walked towards the art studio.After a moment of contemplation, Britney patiently replied, "With him by my side, I always felt like the whole world was beautiful!""Is this the kind
Britney thought more and more that it was absurd.It was definitely due to recent work pressure that I had some random thoughts.It was as if a secret had been discovered. Livia hurriedly pushed the wheelchair over and covered the painting with a good piece of silk cloth."Britney saw it..." Livia forced a smile of embarrassment."Livia also had the power to pursue her own happiness!" Britney chuckled lightly.Under the lights, Livia was captivated by Britney's enchanting and beautiful face. From the moment she first laid eyes on Britney, she felt her innate elegance and nobility, truly befitting of an aristocrat."Britney, you look beautiful, more suitable for Manuel than Nylah!" Livia's oval face was adorned with a pair of jet-black eyes. As if afraid that Britney didn't know who she was talking about, she continued, "Nylah, have you met her? She has been to the Castro's villa before with Manuel. She even came over a few days ago...""I should have seen..."Nylah, right?Thinking ba
A simple kiss gradually became somewhat out of control.A surge of evil fire came straight from the coccyx, reaching the lower abdomen and reaching the depths of the heart.Manuel and Britney reluctantly parted from each other, their foreheads touching, their breaths becoming rapid. With ink-black eyes, Manuel gazed at the lips that had been stained red by themselves, the misty eyes on their beautiful face, and their gaze grew even deeper."I was really afraid that I wouldn't be able to control myself!"The voice was soft and gentle, like the most intoxicating wine, like the most melodious love words from a lover. It unintentionally stirred the heart; such a voice was truly captivating.Britney thought that such a sound was simply poison!"Britney..." a sweet whisper."Um..." Britney responded softly."I might have to leave for a month.""Um...""I would come back before our wedding."The wedding is still half a month away. At the end of February, Goldmoor will welcome spring... Their
The next day, Goldmoor's newspapers that had reported on the news about Seventh Club the previous day were all replaced.Several people disappeared inexplicably, leaving people bewildered.Everyone speculated that Seventh Club was involved in this. But the police couldn't find any evidence and could only bring in two small fry for routine questioning, but they were released as there was no result.This also spread among the Hammond Group.Of course, while everyone was discussing this matter, they also did not forget about the recent news that had been lingering.The daughter of the Hammond Group married the eldest son of the Castro Group.Early in the morning, Britney arrived at the company and heard everyone's idle chatter, but she paid no attention.Holding the documents that needed the chairman's signature, I walked into the elevator. Unexpectedly, I ran into Barrett, the team leader of Group A."Ms. Hammond, you've been quite successful in the dating scene lately!" Barrett hinted,
That night, the night grew even colder, with temperatures dropping to around -6 degrees.A black car drove towards a private villa.This is another residence of the Hammond family, although not as old as the Hammond family's old mansion, it was bought by Britney's great-grandfather when he was alive and is now also priceless. The Maxwell family moved here after moving out of the old mansion.Britney's family entered the living room, braving the cold air. They saw Maxwell's family happily gathered together, chatting and laughing, without any intention of getting up to greet them."Conrad's parents, they heard that I was expecting a boy. They were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling! Conrad, don't you think so?" Stephanie's eyes were filled with joy.A few words, I don't know if they were spoken for Britney to hear."Yes! Mom and Dad were very happy. Actually, they liked both the boy and the girl, regardless of the gender," Conrad and Stephanie sat by the entrance of the living roo
"Dad, Conrad will still have to drive later!" Stephanie dissuaded.In front of his younger brother and with other people present, the head of the Maxwell family also showed his authority, not allowing any contradiction, even from his own daughter."We still had a driver at home!""Let Conrad accompany your dad and Quinten for a while! Conrad rarely comes to our house," Jamiya said to her daughter.Conrad walked towards the seat next to Maxwell. "It's alright! I couldn't take care of you, so you should eat more by yourself! Take good care of the child."Upon hearing Conrad's concerned words, Stephanie felt a sense of joy in her heart and nodded. It was the first time in a long while that he had said such words, showing his care for the child in her belly.Britney gracefully took a seat next to Diana.During that time, Britney received a multimedia message from Manuel."Do you like it? It's a design for a couple ring that I made in my spare time. I can't wait to let you have a look firs
Stephanie and her mother Jamiya were in the room, looking at clothes, when suddenly they remembered that there was someone in the house who had been troubling her.Sure enough, when I went downstairs, I didn't see Britney. At the same time, Conrad was also nowhere to be found.Thinking of the only possibility, Stephanie hurriedly walked into the garden and, unexpectedly, she really saw it.Conrad held Britney in his arms!Sure enough, Conrad still had Britney in his heart...Britney, didn't you agree to Manuel's proposal? And now you're being held by Conrad without resisting, and not finding his appearance too unattractive!Turned around and quickly returned to the living room.In the cold wind, Britney and Conrad stood together.Britney caught a glimpse of the departing figure and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Since she didn't have time to deal with her for now, it wouldn't hurt to give her a hard time! Since Stephanie had acted so ruthlessly, she shouldn't blame
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
This piece of music, she and her mother played together for no less than twenty times in the past. This time, they were able to find the feeling so smoothly, thanks to Gregory's patient guidance on stage just now.For some reason, whenever she played with Gregory, she could always find the same feeling she had when she played with her mother, it was almost identical.When Gregory first saw Britney's appearance, he was also slightly surprised. However, when they played together, that feeling was too familiar!For over twenty years, the feeling that had been missing all this time has reappeared!The two of them finished their duet and thanked the audience below the stage.The female host walked over and said, "Wow, really! I was completely stunned when I heard it just now. It was not a duet between two people at all, but a solo performance by one person!"An opening remark resonated with everyone."Ms. Hammond, I would like to interview
There was one week left until the scheduled wedding date.Tonight was the first solo piano concert, "One Life, One Love," held by Gregory Preston, Britney's favorite pianist.Gregory was a Goldmoor native who started playing the piano at the age of four. At the age of twenty-one, he went abroad to perform and achieved great success, eventually settling down overseas. This was his first visit back to his homeland after twenty-five years, and he chose to hold his first solo concert in his hometown. Gregory seemed destined for the piano, as it sang poetically with its unique sound in his fingertips. His playing always had a romantic quality, distinct and charming.Britney was no longer surprised that Manuel knew everything about himself.Ford drove into the parking lot, while Manuel held Britney's hand and headed towards the music hall.As it was the first show in the country, it is said that there were also some original songs created by Gregory, whi
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,
