His eyes were dark and deep, bottomless.His handsome face and amazing body, in addition to his unsmiling expression and intoxicating voice, exuded the air of a domineering CEO.If Sonnet did not know about Maxwell’s condition, she would think this man in front of her was a tall, handsome, and rich CEO.After she blinked a few times, Sonnet burst out laughing. Then, she pushed Maxwell away. “What are you doing? Why are you doing that? If I didn’t know you, I’d think you were a domineering CEO.”Maxwell smiled. ‘I am a domineering CEO, okay?’However, he still had to pretend in front of his wifey.He scratched his head stupidly and grinned at her. “What does that mean?”Sonnet giggled and answered, “A pretentious rich person.”Maxwell was speechless.Sonnet then asked with a smile, “Who taught you how to say that?”Even though she was asking that, she knew who taught her. Who else would it be? Mrs. Wilson was the only one at home who would do everything she could to teach Maxw
Sonnet needed to take care of Shay during the weekend. When she went to Lux Club, she ran into Logan.Sonnet could not stop herself from being nosey as she recalled what happened to Skylar. “Mr. Scott, have you looked at the trending tweet?”“I’m not interested in that,” Logan answered with a cigar dangling between his lips.“Cough cough, it’s about Skylar.”Sonnet figured he should be interested if she mentioned Skylar.“Who knows,” he said without batting an eyelid, “I am not interested no matter who it’s about.”He was worried the smell of his cigar would make Shay uncomfortable so he planned to move to the study.Sonnet raised her voice. “Skylar is Miss Sky who asked you out for dinner that night!”“Oh.” He did not even turn around.“What happened after you had dinner with her? Was it fun?” Sonnet asked.“I don’t remember,” Logan answered with his back toward her and walked into the study.Sonnet stood on her ground and exhaled after a long while. Men were so heartless a
“Thank you!” Sonnet said sincerely.Samson waved his hand and said, “You’re too kind, Miss Turner. You’re one of us.”“I didn’t do anything. I only took care of Shay for a few days.”“All of us, including Fatso and the others, could tell you’re genuinely nice to Shay. We’re all Mr. Scott’s brothers, so Shay is like our child. Anyone good to him will be one of us. We will also be good to them,” Samson said straightforwardly.To be honest, this was not the only reason. They could also tell that Sonnet was one of the rare women that did not want to date their boss after getting into contact with him.Other than that, she was pretty and approachable. Who would not like a woman like that?If Samson did not know he was not worthy of Sonnet, he would also want to try his luck with her!After hearing what Samson said, Sonnet smiled cheerfully, “I also think you’re one of mine. If you need my help with anything, just ask.”“Alright, I will not go easy on you,” Samson replied with a laug
Sonnet finally understood what happened after hearing Carter’s story.It seemed that Skylae started to prepare ahead when Felix showed him the photo at the buffet.She discussed this with Mr. Ron, saying that someone had their intimate photo in public and they might send it to his husband or make it public.So, Mr. Ron started to pay a lot of attention to Mrs. Ron’s whereabouts. Then, he found out that Mrs. Ron received the photo and had gone to hire a private investigator.Mr. Ron then quickly bribed the private investigator with a price that was higher than what Mrs. Ron offered to get him to photoshop a few photos to send to Mrs. Ron.Of course, Mrs. Ron got some of the photos from Sonnet, and the private investigator also dealt with them and printed them out.After that, Mrs. Ron went to make a fuss at the school and was humiliated. Then, Mr. Ron and Skylar, the adulterers, got an advantage and were on the moral high ground.“How did Mrs. Ron find you then?” Sonnet was curio
Jessie took her to the side of the road to take a taxi. She raised her head to look, and could not help but exclaim, "Huh?""What's the matter?" Skylar followed Jessie's line of sight and saw two figures, one big and one small.After a while, a big black Benz stopped on the side of the road, and the two figures got into the car.Skylar clenched her fist tightly and gritted her teeth. "That damned woman!"Jessie turned to look at her. "Which one?""The one I told you before, the woman who only graduated from high school in the special education school and opposed me everywhere! Later, when I was teased by Logan, she was the one who provoked him too!""Her name is Sonnet?" Jessie asked."How do you know?" Skylar was surprised.Jessie smiled. "She's a distant relative of my family. This woman is the best at pretending, and your being tricked by her is expected. Why didn't you tell me earlier? So that I can remind you to be wary of her.""If I knew you had such a relative, I would
One hundred and fifty thousand!Sonnet's heart trembled.‘I still owe the hospital money, how can I come up with one hundred and fifty thousand dollars all of a sudden?’However, she was willing to give everything to save her son's life!After some consideration, she said to Esther, "I'm under some pressure to come up with 150,000 dollars all of a sudden. Perhaps I can suggest otherwise, I will pay you on schedule, and I will give you a part of the money every month. Do you think this is okay?"Esther hesitated. "The bone marrow donation will be done by then, what if you don't pay?""I can write you an IOU. If I don't pay, you can sue me with the IOU." Sonnet said sincerely.Esther shook her head. "This probably won’t work... Mainly because our family is also quite short of money...""Then we’ll pay 150,000 in one lump sum," Hayden said beside her.Sonnet looked at him in surprise, and he nodded at her to show support.The agreement was made then. Elijah and Esther went back
Sonnet had no choice but to hold back her anxiety and wait quietly.Sure enough, in the afternoon, a foreign number called Sonnet's cell phone."I am Elijah's father." The other party said."Hello, have you changed your mind?""Our family members all agree that donating bone marrow will affect my son's college admission. If he fails to enter the ideal university next year, he may have to repeat it for another year, so we need to include the cost of exam retake."‘Sure enough, this meant that the money was too small,’ Sonnet thought to herself."So, how much compensation do you think is appropriate for you?" she asked."Five hundred thousand, at least."Sonnet didn't answer."Five hundred thousand can buy your son's life, so it's worth it!" said the other party."But my family's conditions are also limited, and I can't afford five hundred thousand at present. If you agree to pay in installments——""No deal about paying in installments!" The other party interrupted Sonnet. "
Half an hour later, Sonnet and Esther sat opposite each other."What did Elijah's father tell you?" Esther asked first.Sonnet repeated what Elijah's father said to her on the phone before.After hearing this, Esther clenched her fists and cursed. "Damn it, he told me he didn't agree to let the boy donate his bone marrow, and forced me to call you on the spot, but I didn't expect him to turn around and call you again to try to extort more money!""Why...you..." Sonnet was also surprised."He is my ex-husband." Esther looked at Sonnet, "When we got divorced, our child followed him at first because he had a good financial background. Later, he gambled and lost all his family property and couldn't afford to support the child, so my son came to me. We live together, but the custody of the child is still with him."So I told him about my child donating bone marrow this time because my son is underage and needs a guardian's signature. Who would have expected him to firmly oppose his so
