"Johnson is said to work casually at Paragon Group. He is frequently absent and sometimes only comes in for half a day. He didn’t appear to have much influence over the company's operations. President Strombold and other executives oversee the majority of them. Some company employees initially whispered that he was brought in only because of his connections and that he was just an idiotic and empty-headed vice president."However, something recently occurred at a private junior high school run by the Paragon Group. A child died after jumping from the building. This was such a major incident that even the Education Bureau was taken aback. Johnson stepped forward at this point to help turn the situation around. He used his connections to quickly resolve the issue, particularly with upper management.""So, he is still quite capable?" Sonnet asked."That's right. People began to suspect him of having a strong background later on. Nobody has concluded anything because the opinions are so
When the attending doctor happened to walk in and overhear his words, he responded with a smile. "This is because one of the drugs is a newly developed drug from another country with fewer side effects, which has replaced our domestic drugs with more side effects."Sonnet felt very lucky when she heard this, but Jaybie thought otherwise."Sir, this medicine must be very expensive, right?" He was afraid of burdening his mother.The doctor's smile froze. "It's not very expensive, your mother can afford it. It’s just a little tricky because this medicine isn’t available on the domestic market, we just need to import it from abroad."Jaybie breathed a sigh of relief.Sonnet felt a jab in her heart at Jaybie's expression.Jaybie was too sensible, he always feared that his illness would put the family deeper in debt.After the doctor left, Sonnet deliberately revealed to Jaybie that she had some money on hand. "Jaybie, just focus on the treatment and get better soon. Mom can still aff
‘He may be the vice president of the Paragon Group and receive a good salary, but he does not come from a wealthy family. This level of spending was unacceptably high. I can't let him pay for this on his own; I have to share it with him regardless.’She cleared her throat and the two nurses turned around. Their faces showed instant embarrassment when they saw her.She pretended not to hear anything, asked the nurse for sterile cotton swabs and antiseptic, and took them to the ward.After treating Sophia's wound, she came out to call Johnson."Have you had lunch yet?" That’s Johnson's first question when the call was connected."Yes I have, how about you?""I’m eating now. How is Jaybie today? Tell him that I'll see him after work in the evening and that I'll bring him a surprise today."Sonnet was silent. Then, she said, "You spent a lot of money for Jaybie, right?"He was taken aback for a moment, and answered casually, "It didn't cost much.""I've heard everything. The entir
"I'm not sure what's going on. Jaybie's body temperature is fluctuating between hot and cold.""Call the doctor!""I just rang the bell; the nurse should be here soon!"After Johnson said that the nurse’s hurried footsteps came to the door. She checked on Jaybie's situation and immediately trotted off to call the doctor.The doctor came to assess Jaybie’s situation, and after taking various measures, he said to Sonnet, "This is a side effect of chemotherapy drugs. It varies from person to person. You don't have to worry too much. He will get better after a while."Sonnet was worried but powerless, and she couldn't sleep, so she sat by Jaybie's bedside.Exhausted, Jaybie eventually returned to normal after some tossing and turning and fell into a deep sleep.Sonnet said to Johnson: "Jaybie is fine now, you go get some sleep."Johnson shook his head, without taking his eyes off Jaybie's face. "I can't sleep.""You have to go to work tomorrow—""I simply regret it. Why didn't I
Due to his parents' deaths when he was young, he had nothing more than the abilities he had cultivated through his efforts.On the bed, Jaybie turned to his side. Then he tossed over again and curled up with a painful expression.Sonnet and Maxwell looked at each other and both held Jaybie. "Jaybie, what's wrong?""My stomach hurts, it hurts..." Jaybie rolled over on the bed clutching his stomach.Maxwell immediately leaned forward and hugged him, while Sonnet went to ring the bell."It hurts, mom, it hurts!"Jaybie's face wrinkled into a ball in pain as he clenched his teeth over his lips, most likely because it hurt too much. Blood soon oozed from his lips.Sonnet turned her head and looked around, trying to find something for Jaybie to bite, but she heard Johnson anxiously say to Jaybie, "Jaybie, bite this, don't bite your lips!"She turned her head and saw Johnson stuffing his arm into Jaybie's mouth.Jaybie was in so much pain that he was in a daze. He held onto Johnson's
Jaybie fell asleep peacefully and never had any problems again in the following hours.Sonnet was not sure when she fell asleep. When she awoke in the morning, she found herself and Johnson lying face to face beside Jaybie's bed.She got up and freshened up, then quietly went out to buy breakfast.When she got back with breakfast, she heard the father and son laughing in the bathroom.She walked to the door and peered inside, where she saw Johnson comb Jaybie's hair. He dipped the comb in water and combed Jaybie's hair right down a clean middle part."Eww, that’s hideous, I look like a villain in a TV series!" Jaybie protested.Johnson smiled. "Why do I think it’s handsome?""Uncle Jackson, you are old! Our young people's aesthetics are out of line with your generation!""I'm old? I’m not old! When I go out, little girls are calling me big brother, okay!" Johnson exploded immediately.Johnson groaned in pain when Jaybie unintentionally touched his arm while he was giggling.J
After Jaybie was discharged from the hospital, her life went back to normal.Sonnet went to campus in the morning and work in the afternoon. Sophia and the nanny, Winnie took care of Jaybie and Myles at home.Now Johnson had become the best father of the year. Every day he would get off work early and come to Sonnet's house to play with Jaybie and Lune.So much so that, after a week like this, Johnson managed to earn a seat at Sonnet's dinner table.Even Sophia completely changed her mind about Johnson and gave Sonnet a good nagging that night. "I think this Johnson is a good man, he can succeed Maxwell as the children's father!"Sonnet did not say anything but chuckled in her heart. He was the real father of the children.Apart from Lindy and herself, no one else knew about this matter. She wanted to wait for Jaybie's matter to be completely resolved before explaining it to the children. After all, she was too embarrassed to say what happened back then."This Johnson used to be
Juliette dragged Sonnet helplessly to the back garden.When they arrived, they discovered that all of the vantage points had been taken by other female teachers.Juliette stood on tiptoe, reaching up and bending down, scurrying back and forth. "Oh, there are no favorable viewing angles. I can't even see their faces clearly!"As soon as she said that, a female teacher was on her phone as she stepped down from her standing position. Juliette hurriedly took Sonnet to fill her spot and nodded with satisfaction. "This angle has a great view! If this was a paid performance, this would’ve been the most expensive seat."Sonnet did not know whether to laugh or cry as she watched Juliette craning her neck and staring at Johnson without blinking, so she followed suit.An immaculately dressed woman with a gorgeous face stood opposite Johnson."I heard that this woman came here in an expensive sports car." A teacher commented next to her.Juliette murmured in a low voice. "Well...Miss Rich
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
