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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
"I did too." Following that, the others all left one after another.The conference room was left with only Britney, Malia, and Quinten...This was the first time in history that all members of the Board of Directors left as a result.In the end, this meeting ended in failure."Britney..." Quinten broke the silence.Britney was not discouraged at all and remained confident. "Chairman, according to the original plan, I will deliver the new proposal to you before noon, with half of the planned quantity.""Okay," Quinten felt relieved when he saw her attitude. He had originally wanted to comfort her, but it seemed that he had overthought it.For large-scale projects, if the chairman rejects it, an application can be submitted to the Board of Directors. If the majority of votes agree, then it can be implemented. It is relatively democratic.Britney disagreed with the chairman, who happened to be her father, and was dissatisfied with
Britney felt the smell of alcohol wafting from Manuel's mouth, and gradually she began to wonder if she was getting drunk. She also felt an increasingly intense heat emanating from his body, making her feel uncomfortable all over.She squirmed in his arms, pushing against his chest.But the more she moved, the harder he pushed."Um... Manuel..." she squeaked and mumbled incessantly, unsure if the man had even heard her.The water in the glass was constantly shaking and spilling.Clusters of water stains soaked into the ground, resembling plum blossoms.Britney thought that this man must have been sober, otherwise how could he have taken the glass from her hand with his eyes closed, and placed it so easily on the marble table behind him?Britney witnessed all of this with her own eyes. In a moment of distraction, the man took advantage of it effortlessly.Long time ago...Lip splitting..."Britney, I wanted..."
Butler Parker saw Britney coming downstairs and started setting the table."Madam, please come over for dinner! The gentleman is expected to come back later.""Hmm!" Britney walked into the glass dining room.She sat down, and the whole round table was empty except for her, making it appear particularly spacious.On the table were delicately arranged three dishes and a bowl of nourishing soup, along with a bowl of rice. Although it was prepared for her alone, it was evident that it would be enough for two or three people."Parker, sit down and eat with us!" Britney said as she picked up her fork, addressing Parker who was standing nearby."Madam, please go ahead and eat! I need to go back to the kitchen to attend to something.""Sit down and let's eat together! There's so much food, I can't finish it all by myself." It feels strange for her to eat alone when Manuel is not here."The lady will eat first, I will go and come back.
Karsyn had ten thousand grass mud horses in her mind!But thinking about Franklin, she endured!Karsyn couldn't have imagined a day like this, being so friendly to her rival."Franklin, tonight's dinner plans are settled, okay..." Miranda said with a smile, speaking affectionately to Franklin.Karsyn felt uncomfortable on the side.To be honest, she really wanted to tell Miranda that she was Franklin's girlfriend, the real girlfriend! She wanted her to get lost... go wherever she came from...Karsyn first realized that she could disregard everything except for the man by her side! She also realized for the first time that she had a temper, but couldn't express it."Hmm." Franklin's voice was soft and faint."I'm leaving now! Franklin, Ms. Melton, bye." Miranda smiled satisfactorily, waved and left.Karsyn watched as Miranda's skirt gracefully fluttered, as if silently showing off."What's wrong? Not happy?" Frankl
Others may not understand, but Karsyn would not be unaware.Just now in the room, she had just scolded Andreas.The future brother-in-law that Andreas mentioned, definitely isn't Franklin."Franklin?" Glenn asked. He was unaware of what was happening between Karsyn and Andreas in the room. All he knew was that his daughter was currently dating Franklin."How could it be him?" Andreas expressed disgust."Who was that?" Glenn looked confused.Karsyn didn't even have time to wipe off the milk on her body, her eyes glaring, she immediately stepped forward and threatened, "Andreas, try saying that again!"Not messing with him is like going to heaven!Andreas immediately jumped aside and darted out of the door."Did Andreas say Ernesto?" Glenn looked at Karsyn, asking with confusion.Karsyn glared at Glenn and said, "It wasn't him!"After speaking, he walked outside. He had only taken a few steps when he realized
In the car, Stephanie and Jamiya sat in the back seats."Daughter, don't scare me..."Stephanie leaned on Jamiya, tears flowing freely."Mom, why? Why?""It's okay, daughter. Let's go to another place and have Stephanie checked again. My grandson won't be so fragile..." Jamiya wiped the tears off Stephanie's face."Change hospitals? Change hospitals, will it make a difference? The best hospital, Goldmoor, has confirmed that it's a stillborn. Can any other hospital bring my child back to life?" Stephanie sobbed uncontrollably. The facade of strength she had just put on crumbled in this moment.She just didn't understand why a good child like hers had died. Why did it have to be her child?I was already being very careful...She was so looking forward to the arrival of the child... Why did they have to deprive her of the right to be a mother, even taking away this little bit of happiness.Jamiya frowned and couldn't think
The middle-aged doctor looked nervous, even his movements were somewhat frantic.Rylee saw the situation, her face changed slightly, without asking further, she immediately approached and took the instrument from the middle-aged doctor's hand."Dr. Nixon, what's wrong? This is..." Jamiya sensed something was off and asked, "Is there something wrong with my grandson?""Dr. Nixon..." Stephanie, lying in bed, sat up slightly and became nervous as well."Don't get worked up, let me take another look," Rylee reassured Stephanie's emotions. As Stephanie lay back down, she raised the instrument in her hand and calmly slid it over Stephanie's stomach, probing, her eyes never leaving the screen...As Jamiya watched the doctor's increasingly solemn expression, she held Stephanie's hand and asked, "Doctor, are my daughter and my grandson okay?"Rylee squeezed a little more transparent liquid onto Stephanie's belly and conducted another examination.
The resignation of ordinary employees does not bring much impact to the company. However, it is a different story for the company's senior management, and even for long-serving employees."It is best to prevent certain things from happening in the first place, but to be so bold as to challenge the company directly. That shows that he is not afraid of offending the company, he has a backup plan."Quinten looked at his daughter, whom he had raised for twenty-four years, in astonishment. She calmly and eloquently described the complicated relationship, analyzing the situation with her sharp mind. She displayed a calm and composed demeanor, far from the inexperienced young woman who had just entered the workforce. Instead, she seemed like someone who had been in the professional world for many years, handling matters with composure and confidence."If he was trying to use this backdoor to gain the company's favor, I don't think it was necessary," Britney pursed her
"Wait a minute!" Britney looked up from the documents.Malia stopped in her tracks and asked, "Team leader, do you have any further instructions?""Has Barrett been with the company for a few years?" Britney casually asked.Malia thought for a moment, "Barrett, it should have been over ten years, he is considered a senior member of the company. What's wrong, team leader?""Not a big deal. You can go down."Malia was a little stunned by Ms. Hammond's question, but she didn't ask any more and gently closed the door when she left.After Malia left, Britney went through the materials she brought one by one. After confirming that there were no issues, she took the files and went directly to the floor where the chairman was located, using the elevator.The chairman's secretary saw that it was Britney, and did not stop her, and told her that the chairman was inside.She knocked on the door of the chairman's office, and waited for perm
