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
"Geovanni, apologize to Mr. Fletcher!" Britney turned around and sternly addressed Geovanni behind her.Geovanni thought he had misheard and pointed at himself. "Let me apologize to him! Britney, did you lose your mind? Why should I?""If you don't apologize, I'll let you experience what it feels like to get caught in a door!" Britney raised her eyebrows, showing strong determination. "If you're not clear about it, let me tell you, the person sitting here right now is your immediate supervisor! Moreover, who gave you the right to casually throw the company's documents on the ground? Every single one of them from the Hammond Group, even a scrap of paper could be a company secret! Can you handle the responsibility if something goes wrong?""You!" Geovanni stammered. He never expected Britney to air their personal grievances and make him, the future successor, apologize to a Sales Department manager in front of so many people.How can he hold his head up at the Hammond Group in the futur
After finishing their meal, Britney took Karsyn shopping.From Universal Mall to New World Mall, over the years, Britney couldn't be considered to have fully understood the Schwartz family's preferences, but at least she had some understanding. The Schwartz family liked high-end and tasteful things, and they were very particular about this aspect. Britney also put in her best effort to select items for Karsyn, hoping that when Karsyn met the Schwartz family for the first time, she would leave a good impression.Having picked a good gift, and seeing that it was still early, the two of them walked into a luxury lingerie store. The store manager immediately recognized the two esteemed VIP customers and warmly introduced the newly arrived collection."Britney, this lingerie suits you so well! How about I give it to you as a wedding gift?" Karsyn grinned wickedly.The pink leopard print, combining the tempting elements of leopard print and black lace, was both enchanting and graceful. The
C&B Winery.Today, Geovanni felt frustrated all day long and had nowhere to vent. He asked Stephanie for Conrad's phone number and arranged to meet at the winery after work.This private winery was Conrad's own private property, named after the initials of Britney and Conrad. It symbolizes Conrad's love for Britney.Conrad took out a bottle of red wine he had cherished for a long time and sat down across from Geovanni with his long legs."What's wrong? You look gloomy."Geovanni was torn inside, whether to tell his brother-in-law or not. However, he thought about everyone around him and couldn't find a suitable confidant."Conrad..." Geovanni slowly opened up and faithfully recounted everything that had happened at the company during the day to Conrad, leaving out not a single detail.Conrad shook the liquid in his cup and listened attentively. He looked down upon the inexperienced Geovanni. However, Alexzander had instructed him to win him over, as it would be beneficial for them in
"The Melton girl was devoted to you; you should have taken advantage of it long ago!" Alexzander said, sounding somewhat reproachful.Franklin looked at Alexzander without much expression. "I hope you won't regret it later.""The members of the Schwartz family all share the same blood. I know you are fully focused on managing the district, but if there is profit to be made in the business world, do not easily give up," Alexzander said as he took a sip of herbal tea.Franklin's mother was not exactly fond of him, but rather saw him as a business alliance. Although her demeanor changed drastically after her death, Franklin was still her own biological son."Usually, I often help your younger brother... after all, you two are brothers! Your mother's matters..."Franklin's dark eyes narrowed slightly as he concealed his emotions. "I didn't have a younger brother, my mother only had me as her son!"Watching Franklin's back, Alexzander also knew how outstanding his son was, but he was stuck
Britney's ears turned red. "Manuel, you are shameless!"He actually wanted to take advantage of her curiosity to satisfy his own desires!No one is more shameless than him!Manuel seemed satisfied with Britney's reaction. The corners of his mouth slightly lifted as he forcefully blocked her with his strong arms, and he attacked with one hand...The sound of a man's voice lingered in her ear."What is a face?"He had long abandoned her when he was with her. Besides, can a face provide him with meat every day?No!What was it used for?His gaze deepened, he lowered his eyes and glanced at her body pressed against his chest. With each rise and fall of her breath, just one look was enough to drive someone crazy.Although both of them were wearing clothes, their posture was ambiguous. Manuel had one hand around Britney, preventing her from escaping, while his other hand was groping her tender flesh around her waist, th
"To be honest, at that time, I was really confused!" Carlos shrugged.At this moment, the boy who had just gone out to fetch water bumped into the door with his body, holding two cups of water in his hands.Specifically, Britney's drink was bought outside.Britney took it and thanked the boy."Carlos, there was no milk tea that Ms. Hammond liked. So I just bought a random cup..." The boy leaned in closer to Carlos's ear, his voice getting quieter as he spoke."It's all good! You don't have to go out and buy it just for me," she heard the boy's voice in the quiet environment, as they were close by.She also knew that in a place where such men were prevalent, it was impossible to have any other options, so she started off by saying plain water.Carlos raised his hand in the air, but he didn't wave it down. "Get out!"Britney looked at the way the two of them interacted and couldn't help but wonder how they ended up together.
Britney lifted her fingers lightly from the computer keyboard, a mocking curve forming at the corner of her mouth.She would look quite attractive if she could use that confidence to work hard. But the key is, what's the use of just boasting about it without actually doing anything?Geovanni, with his unrestrained nature, was only suitable for living under the radiance of his parents and coming to work at the company.Laughing and shaking her head, Britney continued to type on the keyboard.Her patience with Uncle's family was only limited to this point. If they caused any more trouble, she would no longer tolerate it. No matter how much she said, it was useless; the other party needed to know when to stop.Britney's work status was still good for the day. She managed to consolidate the reports submitted by each person before leaving work. She planned to take the remaining work home to work overtime.She did not forget the phone call in the
Mrs. Castro was a kind and gentle woman. She lived in a small house on the outskirts of town. Every morning, she would wake up early and tend to her garden. She loved flowers and took great pride in her beautiful roses. In the afternoons, she would often visit her neighbors and chat with them over a cup of tea. She was well-liked by everyone in the community. Unfortunately, Mrs. Castro passed away last year. Her presence is greatly missed, but her memory lives on in the hearts of those who knew her.Britney had heard this nickname so often that she had become accustomed to it.After saying thank you to Bryant, she entered the office building, wearing high heels.Clock in, take the elevator, go straight to the department floor, walk into her own department, Britney entered the workplace, exuding confidence and composure."Come with me to the office!" Britney stood in Hugh's workspace and said to him."Good!"Hugh responded by folding the alre
Britney applied ointment to herself in the bathroom.Suddenly, the body no longer had the burning pain, but instead gained a cool and comfortable sensation.The pain momentarily eased...Manuel, this man, is truly someone who evokes both love and hate!Britney twisted the ointment cap, turned on the water in the sink, released hot water, and began washing her face and brushing her teeth.I applied skincare products and saw my face in the mirror. I didn't know if it was because Manuel had just made me angry, but my cheeks were still a little red.After leaving the bathroom, Manuel was no longer in the room.As Manuel said, the ointment's effectiveness was indeed quite good. After a few minutes, walking became much easier, and the pain that felt like tearing was no longer present.When Britney was changing clothes, she almost didn't recognize her own body.His whole body was covered in bruises, as if every pore was complai
At this moment, the sound of a text message suddenly came from the phone on the bedside. Before I could reach out to touch it, Manuel pressed down my jade arm.The smooth and tender skin was like the finest silk, with a faint pink hue on top."The light..."Britney, who was pinned down on the bed, slowly opened her lips. Manuel looked at her slightly parted lips, and his eyes sparkled with a radiant and gentle light.In the end, she couldn't really let go of these things.Manuel turned to the side and switched off the dazzling crystal chandelier in the room, leaving only a warm yellow bedside lamp.The atmosphere became even more enchanting, with a hint of ambiguity.The long black wavy hair was spread on the soft bed, with fair and delicate facial features. Her eyes, as black as ink, shimmered with a mesmerizing glow under the warm light. A gentle smile slowly appeared at the corner of her lips, and her eyes were filled with a tender
Diana seemed to be immersed in memories of the past."He actually asked me out, but he didn't mean anything else. We just talked about the past, and he also knew that I was already married and had a happy family with a precious daughter, which made him happy for me. He also kept praising you in front of me, saying that you are more outstanding than me."At this point, a proud smile appeared on Diana's lips."I went... I was almost scared to death! I thought a cheesy plot from a children's book was going to come to life. Turns out, Britney is actually that person's child!"Karsyn couldn't help but interrupt.Britney gritted her teeth and tapped the driver's seat. "What are you saying!""How is that possible? He had been abroad for several years when I got together with Britney's father and had her," Diana patiently explained, without blaming Karsyn for his thoughtless words.Karsyn sighed and patted her chest.Damn it!Th
Outside the luxury boutique, two women left."Baron, I..." Skyler hesitated, unable to speak."Skyler, let's terminate the contract! I can't afford it anymore..." The obese man handed the drink he had bought to Skyler and left without looking back.Skyler stood in place, looking dejectedly as the man walked away, the drink in his hand still warm.The heart felt like it was missing a piece.In this unfamiliar city, it was him who brought himself from the countryside to this city, and now he is also leaving. So what will she do? Go back to the countryside again?Britney and Karsyn exchanged glances, and Karsyn shrugged.They really wanted to watch a play unintentionally.Britney whispered a few words into Karsyn's ear, and Karsyn's eyes lit up. They pulled out a business card from their bag and, together with Britney, walked towards Skyler."Hi!" Karsyn greeted Skyler proactively. "This is Galaxy Entertainment Wayne's cont
Britney had already started surrendering her weapons while accompanying Karsyn to browse through the entire women's clothing stores at Universal Mall, even though they hadn't finished scanning half of them.Finally, Britney was exhausted and dragged Karsyn to a restaurant, intending to take a break and replenish some energy.Karsyn's combat effectiveness was famously good, and she had a fruitful harvest. Britney just picked two pieces of innerwear.Britney picked a spot with a good view, and she felt like this whole trip was just for seeing Karsyn and being bothered.Britney put her shopping bags away, sat down in her seat, and felt completely relaxed.I was exhausted by Manuel in the evening, busy with work during the day, and then came back to clean up the clothes after work.That was not enough energy, no matter how good it was."Why did you only buy two pieces of clothing today? And they are all innerwear..." Karsyn looked at Brit
