Maxwell was overweight, Geovanni was thin, and Stephanie and Jamiya... even less likely...Britney was searching hard in her mind..."Britney, how was it? Do you remember?"Britney shook her head. The video had ended, and besides confirming that the people in the video were not the Hammond family, she couldn't find anyone who even remotely matched for the time being.Carlos sighed, "Yeah, I can't recognize it either, just from the back.""Sorry!" Britney watched as Carlos impatiently lit a cigarette, furrowing her brows in concern. She also felt a bit guilty inside.I made my own matters so troublesome that others were even more worried than me."It's okay, maybe I was just too impatient. However, during the investigation, we found that there were other people also looking into this matter!" Sometimes when handling a difficult case, Carlos would habitually smoke, and his addiction to cigarettes was getting worse.Last night, I was working on a case and only managed to take a short nap
"I will handle this matter well!" Britney clenched the newspaper in her hand."Since this incident happened today, the meeting ends here!" Quinten, after all, is the chairman of the company. This matter not only concerns his own daughter but also the entire company, and it must be dealt with fairly!"Britney, I contacted the Public Relations Department to assist you.""Thank you, Chairman!"Coming out of the Board of Directors, Britney was thinking all the way about how to handle this matter...Back in the Marketing Department, Britney walked straight into the office and then closed the door.Was this deliberately done by someone, or did the paparazzi stumble upon it...Looking out of the window at the constant flow of vehicles, Britney's heart gradually calmed down.At that moment, the phone on the table rang, and a series of numbers that Britney recited fluently."What's the matter?" The tone wasn't particularly good, and Britney became even more impatient with him.There, Britney's
The press conference came to a perfect end.This is Britney's first time facing the media on behalf of the Hammond Group, but every move and gesture she makes is full of the elegance and grace of a young lady, without losing the professionalism and intelligence of a businesswoman. She completely lacks any trace of pettiness and has received unanimous praise from the outside world.Conrad watched the live and replay broadcasts on TV over and over again, and Britney's rational behavior drove him almost crazy.I didn't expect that she had such a side!Conrad tightly gripped the phone, "What's going on?""Mr. Schwartz, it's really not our fault. The Hammond Group simply didn't let us in at all!""Don't let you in?""Yes! But it seems like the media reporters they put in were all from the Melton Group."The Melton Group! Karsyn?It seems that he really underestimated her ability... He actually came up with this trick to deal with it."You like this..." Conrad's lips curved into a wicked ar
The tone, similar to acting spoiled, and just now being cold and terrifying, were like two completely different people.Manuel leaned lightly against Britney's shoulder, being careful not to exert too much pressure on her. He had not slept for over thirty-six hours...How come he couldn't sense her emotions, so he hurried to finish earlier and come back sooner.As a result, as soon as the plane landed, Bryant heard about her situation and rushed over. However, he did not expect that his woman was actually surrounded by that group of people!Britney felt the breath next to her grow heavier, and she gazed lightly at the scenery along the window.Should I find an opportunity to talk to him later?Not knowing if she was infected by him, Britney also felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Just sleep! After all, Bryant couldn't possibly take them both to sell.We arrived at the destination, but there was no movement behind. Bryant turned his head and found that both of them were asle
In the bathroom, Britney, who took the opportunity to leave, looked at herself in the mirror and patted her flushed cheeks with her hands.Even though I had been in a relationship before, being with Manuel made it feel like it was my first time. Damn it..."What? Are you so shy because of a man's sweet talk?" Stephanie walked into the dressing room, a malicious smile playing on her lips.Britney glanced sideways and looked at Stephanie with a half-smile, "Didn't Conrad ever tell you before? If he didn't, I don't mind lending you an ear."This sentence seemed to touch Stephanie's fragile nerve. Conrad now, apart from going to work, the first thing he does when he gets home is to go into the study, and only goes to bed before falling asleep. He wouldn't say sweet words to her anymore, the only time was then...But how could she possibly show it, restraining her overflowing emotions. "Conrad is a cultured man, how could he constantly have sweet words
"Conrad!" Stephanie, though foolish, understood the silent war between the two men, especially since she was not foolish herself."Swipe!" Conrad took out a gold card from his wallet and handed it to the waiter.A meal costing over five hundred thousand is not considered expensive! However, it depends on where the money is spent. Being taken advantage of by Manuel and being made a fool of is something that no one would feel good about!Manuel got in the car, while Britney was still reminiscing about the scene just now."Britney seemed happy?"Britney didn't hide either, she smiled and said, "Manuel, luckily I didn't choose you as my enemy."The delicate laughter of the petite woman caught Manuel's attention, and he wished he could embrace her tightly. "Even if you are my enemy, I can't bring myself to harm you."Resting on his strong arm, Britney still managed to ask, "Did you know from the beginning that the car was targeting me?"
Saying that one doesn't care is definitely impossible!Otherwise, why would I start dressing up and doing beauty treatments early in the morning? Isn't it all for the purpose of appearing beautiful in front of him and then having a nice meal with him?But Karsyn knew in her heart, right from the beginning, that Franklin was not the kind of person who would let his work be delayed for the sake of love for his children.Moreover, he was in a crucial period of growth now...So she was still sensible.Britney received a call from Karsyn and immediately made a phone call to Manuel, asking him to go eat by himself as she had to accompany Karsyn to pick up her younger brother.As a result, for a long period of time, Manuel did not like Andreas, and Andreas couldn't find any reason.Actually, Manuel was thinking about how he had approved his return. If he had known earlier, Britney would have made sure not to have dinner with him and would ha
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,
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
