Brooklyn nodded. "I'm here to report this matter to you! I've investigated Johnson Yates' background carefully. There don't seem to be any problems at the moment. He's an orphan who grew up in a welfare institute. Later on, he went to the United States with outstanding results after getting into university. In the United States, he displayed outstanding ability and planned a few financing projects. After returning to the country, he met Zachary Strombold and applied to be the vice president of Paragon Education Group.""On the surface, there's nothing wrong with his resume. His interaction with Sonnet was more than six years ago when he returned to the country. He accidentally got drunk and had sex with Sonnet at a small wealthy club. After that, he went overseas. Sonnet didn't remember who that man was, which was why Sonnet raised the two children alone."Later on, something happened to Maxwell, and Sonnet moved to Paradise Residential Area. Coincidentally, Johnson lived above her h
"Help me pay close attention to the movements over there. If there are any abnormalities, let me know immediately," Maxwell said to Marcus.Marcus patted his chest. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for you!"Maxwell nodded and walked out of Marcus's office with a frown.Who was investigating Sonnet's background? Was this person investigating Sonnet purely because he was interested in Sonnet, or was he suspecting something?Something flashed across his mind. When he returned to his office, he immediately called Carter. "Keep an eye out for Qin Shi and the children's backgrounds. If there is, investigate immediately and see who's investigating."Carter agreed and said to Maxwell, "By the way, CEO Maxwell, the investigation you asked me to check on the car accident last time has concluded.""How so?""That person was indeed instigated by someone. He pretended to be poor on the surface, but he secretly found a lover and spent a lot of money on that lover. I found out from his love
"How do sister-in-law and brother-in-law interact?" Maxwell rolled her eyes at her.Sonnet smiled. "Alright, alright. If you don't interact with him, so be it. Anyway, you interact with him a lot in the company. If he has anything pitiful, take care of him more!""What's there to pity about him!" Maxwell chided.His dear wife was so kind-hearted. Although White Mu Fan looked harmless, the fact that he managed the company so well meant that he wasn't someone who didn't have any tricks up his sleeve."Don't take pity on others. Take pity on your husband. Boohoo…" Maxwell pretended to be pitiful and buried her face in Sonnet's neck.It had been almost five months and he still hadn't been able to eat his wife. If this continued, he would suffocate to death.Sonnet giggled. How could she not know what her husband was thinking?She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I went for a checkup today. The doctor said I'm recovering well. He told me not to be careless even when I'm breast
"You're quite tired too. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up. Anyway, baby will occasionally drink milk powder as a concoction," Sophia replied without raising her head. She said to the baby, "Right, our Xiao Yinyin?"The baby was called Seraphine Turner. Other than calling her baby, they sometimes called her Little Peach.The baby let out an "ah" at the right time, as if she understood Sophia 's answer, making Sophia and Mrs. Wilson laugh.Sonnet silently returned to her room. She felt that she was no longer needed!Two days later, Lindy came back for lunch and said to Sonnet, "My colleague has been keeping an eye on Lucas recently."Sonnet sighed. "He's now a top celebrity, and his privacy is gradually disappearing."Lindy looked at Sonnet thoughtfully. "I'm not talking about that."Sonnet looked at her and raised her eyebrows. "Then what do you mean?""My colleague found out that he went to Yves Yates’ house a few times recently.""Ah?" This time,
Lucas had just hung up when Yves bit his earlobe, causing him to tremble slightly."You bad woman, I'm calling you and you're causing trouble!" He loved her to death. He gritted his teeth and turned around to press her down…After a while, the two of them hugged each other."Why? Are you going on a date with your childhood sweetheart tonight?" Yves asked sourly as she stroked the bite mark on Lucas's shoulder."Don't misunderstand. We're childhood friends. We're like family," Lucas quickly explained.Yves chuckled lightly and tapped the tip of his nose. "Why are you so nervous? Do you think I'd be jealous? You're all mine, so why would I be jealous of your old flame?"As she spoke, her smile faded slightly. "Why did she suddenly ask you out for a meal? Is there something important she wants to tell you?""She did say that she had something on, but it shouldn't be particularly important. Otherwise, she wouldn't have spoken in that tone," Lucas said as he hugged Yves tightly.Yve
As expected, Lucas smiled and replied, "Yes, I have a girlfriend. As my childhood friend, shouldn't you be happy for me?"If it were anyone else, Sonnet would be happy for Lucas. However, when she thought that it might be Yves, Sonnet felt strange and could not smile anymore."Oh, can you tell me who it is first? Is it a famous woman?" she asked Lucas.Lucas smiled and replied, "She's considered a famous person, but she's not a celebrity. She's an entrepreneur."As expected… Lucas and Yves's relationship had developed so quickly!Sonnet's heart inexplicably felt a little heavy. She asked him, "Who is it?""You've seen this person before. She's CEO Yates of Eternal Jewelry."Sonnet widened her eyes and looked at him. Although she had already guessed it, she was still a little surprised to hear it from him."Don't look at me like that." Lucas scratched his head, a little embarrassed."Didn't you use me as a shield to avoid her last time? Why—""I misunderstood her last time. La
Lucas's face froze for a moment before he smiled. "What are you trying to say, Sonnet?"Sonnet was about to speak, but he interrupted her. "At that time, I wasn't familiar with Yves Yates. It wouldn't be surprising if she had a boyfriend. If she's still having an ambiguous relationship with another man now, I might be angry. But what right do I have to pursue the previous matter?"Sonnet suddenly didn't know what to say. Lucas had already said so much. If she continued to talk about Yves and Claude, it would seem like she was stirring up trouble…Lucas looked at Sonnet. "I know you're doing this for my own good, but I have to tell you that I have my own judgment. Yves told me before that she had a few men. Since she didn't hide it from me, I should give her absolute trust, don't you think?"Sonnet sighed in her heart and smiled at Lucas. "As long as you feel happy, everything else is not important.""Sonnet, thank you for blessing me. I was afraid that you and Lindy wouldn't under
When she got home, Sonnet saw that Maxwell had already returned."I heard that you went to have dinner with someone else. Who are you with?" Maxwell asked casually as she teased the baby."Lucas."Hearing Sonnet's answer, Maxwell paused and asked sourly, "Why are you suddenly eating with him?""Wanted to talk to him about women.""A woman thing?"Sonnet nodded. "He's in a relationship. You probably won't be able to guess who the other party is.""Oh? It's great that he's in a relationship… No, what I mean is that he already has a girlfriend. We should give him our blessings…" The corners of Maxwell's mouth curled up to his ears.Previously, he had been worried that Lucas would try again. Now, it seemed that he was worried for nothing.Sonnet sighed. "Indeed, I should give him my blessings. If it were any other woman, I would give him my blessings without hesitation. But this woman… I really don't know if I should give him my blessings…""Who is that woman?" Maxwell was curiou
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
