It was impossible to have a normal conversation with a man that had lost all sense of reasoning over love. Maxwell got up and said, “I need to get back to the children.” Hayden was about to tell Maxwell that he acted like they were his children. But he thought about it and dared not say it. Maxwell walked to the entrance and stopped. He turned to look at Hayden. “You should buy shares from Dynamic Crystals tomorrow morning. Buy as many as you can.” “Dynamic Crystals? Isn’t that company showing extremely poor performance?” Hayden asked curiously. “I’m the one that gets to decide how well it performs. I get to decide which shares will increase in price,” Maxwell said in a domineering tone before leaving. Hayden was momentarily stunned. He then returned to his senses and called his assistant. “Prepare some funds. We’ll be purchasing the shares of Dynamic Crystals as soon as the market opens tomorrow.” He was extremely confident in Maxwell when it came to such matters. Ma
Maxwell had agreed with Johnny when he recommended that they purchase Greene Technology’s shares. Since he approved of Johnny’s recommendation, he must view the company in a positive light as well. Why did he advise Aunt York not to purchase shares from the company? Had he predicted the company’s share price would fall? Sonnet shook her head. That could not be. If he predicted that the share price would fall, why would he buy the company’s shares?“Yes, he told my mom to buy shares from another company. I think it’s called Dynamic Crystals.” “Dynamic Crystals?” “Yes, I looked it up. It’s a small company that doesn’t appear to be doing exceptionally well. The issue price is extremely low. Each share only costs 70 cents. It’s more suitable for older people like my mother and your father. The share price probably won’t rise much, but it’s good if they can earn some money.” Lindy told Sonnet about it in an extremely casual tone, but her words caught Sonnet’s attention.When s
The tent material was like a one-way window film. They could see everything outside, but the people outside could not look in. Even better was the transparent ceiling of the tent. They could see all the stars in the night sky when they looked up. A large bed and dining table were in the tent. Maxwell led Sonnet over to the dining table. He pointed at a QR code on the table and said, “You can start ordering food, wifey.” Sonnet smiled and scanned the QR code. They both started examining the dishes on the menu. The dishes were extremely exquisite. Of course, they were very expensive as well. Sonnet hesitated when she saw the prices. “It’s so expensive…” “It’s not expensive. We’re rich now!” Maxwell said happily. Sonnet’s eyes shone. “Did you sell the shares?” “Yes!” Sonnet immediately took his phone and opened his trading account. She started counting the number of zeros in his account balance. She acted just like a money-minded person. Her smile slowly wide
“Maxwell is such a nice person. You’ve decided to stay with him for the rest of your life too. So what if you sleep with him?” A voice said in her heart. Another opposing voice argued, “You’d better do that later. You’re not mentally prepared to do this yet.” “You should just do it since you’re not mentally prepared. That way, you can be more sure about your feelings. Maxwell is a great person! He’s much better than a lot of ordinary men! Now is the time. You should be with him right now. You should love him wholeheartedly!” “But the Brooks family might not accept you. If both of you don’t work out eventually…” “Why do you care? You should just be with the person that you love!” The two voices argued with each other. Finally, one of the voices touched Sonnet’s heart. Yes, why should she care? Even if the Brooks family did not accept her, she should do as she wished. That way, she would not have any regrets! With this thought, her heart started racing. Her neck flushe
“Maxwell, this time around…” Sonnet tried to explain to Maxwell. However, he interrupted her halfway. “You can look for me when you miss me.” Warmth gushed into Sonnet’s heart as she held his hand and said softly, “Maxwell, you’re the best!” Both of them got into the car and headed home. On the way back, Lewis glanced at Maxwell in confusion through the rearview mirror. Maxwell was leaving so soon? That was impossible! Lewis finally stopped thinking about all the different possibilities that might have happened when he met Maxwell’s icy gaze through the rearview mirror. He started focusing on the road ahead. When the car arrived at the Brooks household, Sonnet was trying to come up with an excuse to pay a visit to Harrison Estate. Maxwell then said, “Wifey, I fixed a toy for Jaybie a few days ago. I just finished fixing it. Can you help me send it over to him?” Sonnet was shocked. “Aren’t…you going?” “I’m a little tired now. I don’t feel like walking. You’re the b
The next day was a weekend, so Sonnet got up early and went to the Lux Club to take care of Shay. She played with Shay for a while in the morning. After lunch, Shay wanted to play with Jaybie, so Sonnet brought him to the Harrison Estate.The sunlight was warm in the afternoon. The three children ran around the neighborhood, having a blast, while Sonnet followed behind with Lindy, who did not have work today."I overheard your conversation with Jaybie yesterday. Are you really planning to tell Maxwell about your two kids soon?" Lindy asked her. Sonnet nodded wistfully. "I'll have to tell him eventually.""Maxwell is really fond of you, so I don't think he'll mind. What are you so worried about?" Lindy asked when she saw Sonnet frowning slightly."I'm worried Mrs. Wilson will mind.""She's just a servant. So what if she does?""She's more than just a servant. She practically raised Maxwell all his life, and she even stayed single so she could take care of him. She's more like
"Young Miss, shall we have them join us for dinner?" Mrs. Wilson asked anxiously. Sonnet nodded and asked Jaybie, "Will you have dinner with me?"Jaybie hurriedly waved her off. "It's alright, we'll just go home for dinner."Sonnet simply ignored him and called Sophia to tell her that the children were having dinner with her. She would send them home after the meal.Once Sonnet made the call, Mrs. Wilson sat the children down in their chairs. "Eat up, okay?"Jaybie nodded sweetly. "You too, Mrs. Wilson! Eat your fill!"Mrs. Wilson smiled at him kindly, rubbing his little head. "Why are you so adorable, Jaybie? If only I had a grandson like you!"She turned to Sonnet, beaming. "Young Miss, when are you and the Young Master having a baby? If you have a baby as cute as these two, I promise I'll help you take care of them!"Sonnet glanced at Jaybie and Lune awkwardly. Jaybie gave Sonnet a dazzling smile before telling Mrs. Wilson, "Why don't we be your grandkids for now, Mrs. W
Sonnet did not want to disturb her father, so she interrogated the children outside."What's the matter with you two today, Jaybie? Why were you so nice to Mrs. Wilson?"Jaybie blinked and said, "Mrs. Wilson is always so kind to us whenever we visit, so we thought it'd be nice to have her as our grandma."Sonnet looked at him suspiciously. "Is that really all?"She could not help but feel that Jaybie was trying extra hard to flatter Mrs. Wilson today. "What else could it be? Mrs. Wilson has always taken good care of you, Mom, so we have to repay the favor," Jaybie answered instantly, but his expression was slightly unnatural. Sonnet fell silent, then she turned to Lune instead. "Lune, you're an honest girl. Tell Mommy what's going on!"Lune lowered her head and held her tongue. Sonnet purposely glared at her. "If you don't come clean with me soon, I'll be really mad at you!"That was Lune's greatest fear, so she quickly grabbed Sonnet's hand. "Don't be mad, Mom! I'll tell t
The young ladies below gathered together and discussed animatedly. As they spoke, they covered their mouths and laughed.Young Master Gunnnn didn't care what others said about him at all. He only focused on the bouquet in Sonnet's hand.Not only Sonnet's bonnet but also Lindy's and Zyra's. He wanted them all.Lindy was waiting beside Sonnet. When she saw Hayden's focused expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "Why? Hayden hasn't successfully won over Suki yet?"Sonnet smiled and replied, "That's right. It's said that every time Suki agreed to register their marriage the next day, someone would die the next day. Later on, Suki didn't let him talk about registering their marriage.""Young Master Gunn is really infatuated!" Zyra sighed.Lindy rolled her eyes at her. "He's not infatuated at all. Among those men, he's the most flirtatious. Zyra, you don't know what Hayden was like in the past. He went to the nightclub almost every night and changed his girlfriend every week! He boas
Sonnet never expected her father to be the son of a wealthy family in North City!More than twenty years ago, he met her mother, Leah Turner, and they fell in love. Leah was a female university student from a rural area. There was a huge disparity in family status, and the Turner family did not agree to this marriage.Myles’ mother had passed away early, and his stepmother did not treat him well. Therefore, when Myles was angry with his father because of Leah, she added fuel to the fire, causing father and son to fall out.Myles severed his ties with the Turner family and returned to his hometown with Leah, becoming a language teacher in the village.Not only that, but Sonnet also knew that Myles had studied under Mr. Oddie when he was in North City. Back then, his pen name was Mr. Edelweiss. In other words, the Everglow that Sonnet gave Will Brooks was painted by him!Some time ago, Will needed money so he sold the Everglow painting on the market. Coincidentally, a collector from
"What's going on?" Sonnet asked.Zyra held Sonnet's hand. "Actually, we're family."Sonnet was puzzled, but Logan smiled and said, "Zyra is Shay's biological aunt. The test results are out today, proving that she is indeed related to Little Shay!""Ah… What's going on?" Sonnet was very surprised.Zyra held her hand and explained, "Before my mother passed away, she told me something. She said that I had a biological sister. Three days after she was born, she was secretly carried away and sold by my patriarchal grandmother. Later, my mother was pregnant with me and never said anything for so many years. She only told me this before she passed away."She said that she asked around later and said that my biological sister was sold to Harbor City. This was also why I chose to accept the designer position at Eternal Jewelry back then. I always wanted to fulfill my mother's dream before she passed away and find my sister in my lifetime.Back then, when I saw Yasmin Finch's photo, I susp
Hayden immediately became alert. "You're too tired. Rest first. I'll pick you up for supper."Suki didn't refuse. He immediately drove off.There were no cars in the middle of the night, so he arrived in ten minutes. After calling Suki, she came out in less than two minutes. She looked very tired as if she couldn't even walk.Hayden immediately went out to open the door for her. As soon as she got in, she leaned against the back of the seat and sighed."Are you tired?" Hayden asked."That's right. We went to the scene first and then dissected it without stopping. The corpse this time was a little complicated. We didn't even have time to eat."Hayden's heart ached when he heard her words. He quickly handed her the supper. "Hurry up and eat some."Suki didn't take it. "I don't have much of an appetite now. Let's eat later. I'll rest for a while."Hayden started the car. "Take a few bites first. Don't starve yourself.""It’s already ruined." Suki smiled bitterly. "When I first st
"If you have something to say, just say it." Suki looked ahead."Well, when we were eating just now, what did you think when you saw that they were getting married?""I don't think anything of it. Everyone's life is different," Suki said calmly.Hayden stole a glance at her. "Haven't you ever thought—"When he saw Suki turn to look at him, he choked on the second half of his sentence."What are you thinking about? Marriage?" Suki chuckled. "What's so good about marriage? Once you get married, you're trapped. You can't even change to another man."Hayden immediately felt stifled. This woman still wanted to change men…No, how could his woman think of changing men? He had to work harder so she didn't have the time or energy to think of changing men.Or rather, he should trap her. Once she was tied up, she would not be able to escape."Besides, I'm very busy with work and my profession is scary. I don't think anyone can accept me even if I wanted to," Suki continued."That won't
Amidst the laughter, Marcus clapped his hands and said, "Lindy and I have already set a time for our wedding. You have to help!"Logan waved his hand. "Count the two of us in!"Everyone was stunned.Hayden spat at Logan. "What are you doing here?""What’s wrong with joining in the fun?" Logan rolled his eyes at him and threw down his red booklet. "I just registered my marriage!"Everyone was in an uproar and started talking at once.Zyra blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. "Congratulations!"She looked up and saw Sonnet.Sonnet smiled gently. "Congratulations on finding a good man."Zyra stammered, "Madam Brooks, don't you think it's too fast?""To be honest, the first time I saw you, I felt that you and CEO Scott are too compatible. It doesn't matter if someone is fated or not. It's fine as long as their hearts are connected," Sonnet replied with a smile.Zyra also smiled.As they chatted and laughed, they came to an agreement. Maxwell and S
Sara nodded mechanically. When the two of them got into the car, she remembered to shout, "CEO Scott, lunch today is already very good. There's no need to treat us anymore!"Logan smiled and said to Zyra, "Your colleague is an honest girl."The car started, but it was not in the direction of Zyra's house."Where are we going?""I'm taking you to see someone.""Who?"Logan smiled but did not answer. "You'll know when you get there."Half an hour later, when she saw the cemetery, Zyra knew who Logan had brought her to meet.She followed Logan silently to Yasmin's tombstone. She actually felt a little guilty, as if she had stolen someone else's position.Logan placed the white rose in his hand in front of the tombstone and said softly, "Yasmin, I'm going to marry a wife. You won't be angry, right?"Zyra looked at Logan in surprise. Marry a wife…She had only slept with him twice, and he was already going to marry her?The surroundings were silent except for the sound of the br
"Isn't your man handsome?" Logan closed his eyes and suddenly spoke.Zyra was stunned for a moment before her face turned red. She turned around shyly."He's just like a bandit. What's so handsome about him…" she said contentiously."Bandit?" Logan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zyra's smooth shoulders.He recalled the taste of last night and his heart began to stir again."I was a gentleman last night. You haven't yet seen your man acting like a bandit!"As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced…Zyra regretted saying those words and inciting a new round of "war". She did not expect that fellow's words to be true. It turned out that he could still be a little more "bandit"!As they left, she hugged him and asked, "Who am I?""You're my Little Zyra, Little Zyra."Zyra was completely relieved.That morning, Logan drove her to the office.In the afternoon, Zyra was about to go for lunch with her colleagues when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Then, Sara brought a
There was an indescribable melancholy in her heart, sour and bitter."The investigation might be because of my wife, but it’s not about helping you," Logan replied as he looked at her face.At this moment, he was very clear that the face in front of him was not Yasmin's face at all. Other than the fact that she looked similar to Yasmin, the rest of her features did not look alike at all.She looked weak, but she was very strong on the inside. She looked heartless, but her emotions were very fragile. She was like a blade of grass in the wilderness, growing tenaciously, growing the toughness that belonged to grass and the beauty of grass.She and Yasmin were two completely different women!"Then you're helping me…" Zyra asked softly. When she asked this, her heart was beating wildly."Don't I have a favor to ask of you?" Logan smiled. "I wanted you to see my son once a week."Wasn't it because he wanted her to pretend to be his son's mother?Zyra was a little disappointed, but Lo
