Very fine, it was the kind of incense that was lit in the room.
There was not even a logo on top, it looked so plain and simply.
"It was inappropriate to give you something valuable."
"You wouldn't want it either."
"That's why I chose this one for you."
"It's a bit of a coincidence, but on the day I first met you, my client came to the company and brought me two tubes. They weren't much, but they had a good smell, so I gave you one tube. I hope you don't mind it being too cheap, it really isn't anything special, not all girls like agarwood, I was just blindly giving it."
Jaden was indeed a businessman, and he had a skillful way of speaking.
He always said he hoped you wouldn't mind it being too cheap, what else could you say?
Is it because you think it's too cheap?
And to be honest, Lorraine did indeed like fragrances,

"You go first," Dawson was unusually gentlemanly."The Gregory family called me and they hoped that you could lend your team of lawyers to help Sienna with her divorce case.""Is there more to it?" Dawson impatiently asked, unwilling to listen to the Gregory family's nonsense."Jenna said that her nanny always gave her ice cream. I thought there was something wrong with their nanny.""It's nothing, here, this is for you."Dawson didn't wait for Lorraine to speak, he directly reached out his hand and pulled her over. Without waiting for her to react, he put on a thirty-gram gold bracelet, yes, you read it right, a whole thirty grams."I heard that you ladies all like this, so I got it for you. Are you surprised or not?"Lorraine: ..."What expression is this on your face?" Dawson looked at her."What expression do you want?""Shouldn't you be grateful and shed tears?"There was no gratitude, no tears, but th

"How Jenna got pregnant, you are not clearer than me, and yet you doubt me?" Annabelle shouted."How do I know if it's my seed," Baron said with a cold expression."Did you deliberately disgust me? You know it, don't you? By doing this, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? I can tolerate any insults towards me, but do you realize the significant harm you're causing to Jenna by treating her like this?""The child was still young, what did she know?" Baron dismissed."But once the news is leaked, the media will report it extensively. Do you think Jenna won't care about these rumors even if she's a little older? Baron, if you dare to ruin Jenna, I will really kill you.""When you were lying in another man's bed, when you were transferring five million to another man, could you justify it to your daughter?"In one sentence, the air instantly froze, and Annabelle widened her eyes.Just as Annabelle was about to speak, there was

Just now when Leroy was flirting with Leila, she herself was not angry.But when I heard that my friend Lorraine had also been harassed, I instantly flew into a rage.I reached out my hand to slap Leroy's face.But she was stopped directly by Lorraine.Leila angrily turned her head and looked at Lorraine.Lorraine's face had no expression, she just shook her head gently at her.Leila, who had a bad temper, couldn't help but tolerate Lorraine, not knowing what magic she possessed."Your suggestion is good, but unfortunately, you are not the type I like," Lorraine said, looking at Leroy."Is that so? Well, give it a try then, maybe love will grow over time, hahaha."The word he used contained an insult towards women, but even so, Lorraine was not angry.He simply said, "It's almost time for class, let's disperse."Leroy just unwillingly turned back and glanced at the impoverished girl.

"This won't work, it's the school's responsibility in the first place, you don't need to spend money on it," Derick immediately refused."Alright, Lorraine, let me discuss this matter and then I will inform you of the outcome.""Okay, thank you for your help, Mr. Shelley.""It's a small matter, but thank you for speaking up for your classmates. There aren't many children like this nowadays," Derick said sincerely.Yesterday, he lamented with a few senior leaders at the meeting that the freshmen of this generation, born in the 2000s, were very selfish.No matter what, everyone prioritized themselves and refused to compromise, so there were many conflicts in the university dormitories.The several directors in charge of administration were busy with these matters every day, and those parents would often come to cause trouble or seek the media.It is rare to find someone like Lorraine who is considerate and thoughtful, yet not ostentatio

"I knew she didn't tell you, that despicable woman!" Sienna seethed with anger."So, what's going on?" Dawson pretended to be unaware.Let Sienna's heart ignite a glimmer of hope once again.Eleanor was also a bit confused. She thought she knew Lorraine fairly well.After all, she had lived in her house for four years.Although their whole family didn't like this girl, her character couldn't be that bad, right?Does getting married to the Mercer family change everything?"Dawson, listen to me.""Wasn't I recently getting divorced with Peter? You heard about it, right?""No," Dawson answered curtly."Oh my, anyway, it was Peter having an affair outside and even having a love child with the other woman. The entire Reed family accepted it, treating that little bastard so well. Where is my place in all of this?""Speaking of which, if it wasn't for that jerk Peter designing that for me before we got married, I

To be honest, Lorraine deliberately avoided Jaden.She knew that this was also someone not to be messed with, so she didn't want to provoke them at all, but the other party seemed very proactive.When she came back today, she also asked herself sincerely, if this competition was not organized by the Ellerker Medicine Group, would she have participated?The answer is - Yes, it was because she wanted to avoid suspicion that she gave up the opportunity to participate.Jaden: What were you busy with?Lorraine: Read a book.Jaden: What book, can you please tell me?Lorraine: Well, "Distant Priests" was a popular TV show back in the 90s. It told the story of a group of priests who were sent to a remote village to spread the teachings of their religion. The show was set in a time when communication was limited, so the priests had to rely on letters and occasional visits to the village to stay connected with the outside world. It was a heartw

Eliza had previously doubted whether Sienna intentionally instigated and used her.After all, I wasn't stupid, but now, upon closer inspection, it has been confirmed."Son, what did you see her doing?" Eleanor's face looked a bit unpleasant.They never even thought that their son would have any feelings for that girl.After all, Caleb had lived in their house for four years, and he never even looked at them properly.How could it be like this now?Could it be that... it was to get the Mercer family to lend a hand?After realizing this, Eleanor quickly explained, especially intentionally for Eliza to hear, "I understand, Caleb must have wanted the Mercer family to help, that's why he went to find Raine. Hurry, go and get Raine. Husband, you go, Sienna, you go too, the two of you go, and Eliza and I will stay here to buy some time.""Ah? Is it really okay like this?"

"Lorraine, is what you're saying even human language?" Sienna immediately got angry.Raised his voice, he was ready to start venting."Your attitude, I feel there's no need to talk anymore. I'm sorry, John, you can leave now."Lorraine got up and turned to leave. John couldn't handle it and, in a moment of desperation, slapped Sienna.With a loud bang, the hit was quite heavy.Lorraine stopped in her tracks as a slap landed.Sienna also had a look of disbelief on her face."Dad, what were you doing?""Are you crazy?""Shut up, Raine is right. We came here today to ask for help. What were you just saying? Do you still want to save your brother?""But she..." Sienna wanted to argue."Shut up."John glared at his daughter, then turned to Lorraine. "Raine, you're right. We do need your help with this, but you have the right to refuse. You don't have to listen to Sienna. Even if John swallows his pride an

The incident of the Hart family dinner was directly concealed internally and did not spread, as it was related to Keely.Dawson and Lorraine did not say anything after they came back.Lidya naturally didn't know, but Elizabeth, being Keith's sister, naturally knew."Oh? Such a big thing, such an exciting thing, Auntie doesn't know?" Elizabeth pretended to be surprised."What is this Bacchus, what's the matter?"Elizabeth then softly recounted the incident of Lorraine drinking with someone, of course, she did not mention that the other person was Keely, nor did she mention that Keely intentionally made things difficult for Lorraine.The whole thing sounded as if Lorraine herself didn't know the depth of it, deliberately causing a scene in public to attract attention.Lidya's hands trembled with anger, "Can this be true?""Many people were present at the event, and Auntie, you also have connections, so if you inquire, you will kn

In the exquisite box, there was a stunning emerald ring.This kind of green, only seen on TV, is a quality that even jewelry stores do not have.The value could no longer be measured, and it was no longer a matter of being able to buy it with money.Lorraine took a deep breath, this thing was too valuable.Cannot accept, absolutely cannot accept.She carefully locked it in the medicine box at the Dorset Clinic, intending to find an opportunity to return it.Even though Heartleaf is priceless, it would not accept such a valuable gift.In fact, this was a relic of Jaden's late mother.Specifically, it was Jaden's grandmother's dowry, which had truly been passed down from generation to generation by the elderly.At this moment, the Ellerker's mansion.Jaden touched the photo in his mother's room, the woman in it smiled sweetly and elegantly.Jaden deeply felt reluctant and silently watched for a long time.

"Well, we were in the same high school, but I was two grades below him. When he was in his senior year, I was only a freshman, but I would often see him on the basketball court."Upon hearing Elizabeth's words, Lidya suddenly had an idea and took out her phone. She sent a message to Dawson, saying, "I'll send you my location. Come and have dinner with me, and don't refuse."Dawson was suddenly caught off guard when the phone rang directly.Because he had everything planned, he was going to pick up Lorraine in Vermont Heights in the evening.Lidya: Hello?Dawson: Mom? What are we having for dinner? Why is it so sudden?Lidya: What, Lorraine? Why do you constantly bring up that woman? Can't you live without a woman?Dawson: ???Dawson was shocked.Dawson: What's wrong with you? What is this? When did I mention Raine?

Layton's appearance was extremely inappropriate, missing the opportunity for Lorraine to catch up with Jaden and return the gift box.She watched as his car drove away, still holding the box in her hand."Lorraine, would you go out with me?""I would make you the happiest girlfriend in the world," Layton's sudden confession left Lorraine feeling uninterested.Lorraine was too lazy to look at him any longer, so she turned around and walked away.Layton, however, persisted, "Lorraine, wait a moment, don't you think we had a special connection?""What do you mean by fate?" Lorraine turned around."I was interested in you at school.""But soon it was winter vacation.""I thought I would not be able to see it until at least next year.""But little did I expect to see you at the Dorset Clinic, this is the opportunity that God has bestowed upon me.""Was your chance just to pester others?"Layton was slight

Dawson almost immediately turned his head and shouted, "Andrew... come in."Andrew pushed the door open and saw Lily taking off her clothes, and he was also dumbfounded."Mr. Mercer.""Drag Lily out, quickly, she went crazy.""Okay."Andrew forced himself to pull Lily's arm with great effort and walk out."Dawson, why didn't you look at me?""Don't you know that I liked you?"Lily was almost hysterical, she had played all her cards, and perhaps the biggest failure for a woman is to stand naked in front of a man, who not only remains indifferent but even shows some disgust.Lily felt that at this moment, she had lost all her self-esteem and dignity.She was clearly a youthful and beautiful executive assistant to the CEO.Was it the charming and captivating Ms. Finch?But why didn't Mr. Mercer take a few more glances at her?Andrew not only took Lily out, but also, in order to save face for her,

Dawson had no idea about what Lily had said to Lidya in private before.Lidya was really concerned about this matter, especially when she heard that the person on the other side was also a well-respected scion. She developed hostility towards Lorraine and became cautious."Don't treat Dawson's wife like that.""My mom hasn't given you a hard time all these years, why are you giving the daughter-in-law a hard time?" Frank advised."Shut up, you were all being deceived by that woman, she was just pretending."Her heart was never really with Dawson, waiting to have a child with him.Lidya couldn't take in a word and, picking up her bag, she left home and didn't return even for a night.The Dorset Clinic.Jaden walked in, holding the gift, and saw Lorraine give a slight smile.He was about to say hello when Lorraine's phone rang."Sorry, I received a phone call."Lorraine walked over to the adjacent lounge, hol

"Jaden, are you really telling the truth?" Haylie clearly still didn't believe."You could go back and ask the teacher.""Originally, I didn't want to say it so bluntly.""But since you asked today, I will tell you the truth.""Haylie, you were also grown up, not a child anymore.""Including the medication you previously provided to me, which was not developed by you at all, I feel that you should not do this. It is also unfair to your classmates."Even this was exposed, Haylie felt completely ashamed.Crying, he turned his head and ran away.Jaden didn't feel too upset in his heart, marrying Haylie was simply impossible.Jaden had high expectations for love and marriage, and he would rather remain single than settle for less.Even if I remained single forever, I would still refuse to settle for marrying someone I don't like.The figure suddenly flashed in my mind again."Put the things in the trunk

"Vermont Heights.""This name... sounds a bit strange." Lorraine frowned."Sure, we had it divined by a fortune teller, but this property is not developed by our family. It belongs to the family of my grandfather's good friend, Mr. Qin. It is considered the most expensive property in Amber City, even more expensive than villas.""Why?" Lorraine asked."First, the location was good, situated in a bustling area.""Secondly, the quality is good. The designer we found has won awards abroad and it is said that the design can withstand an earthquake of up to magnitude eight."Third, the interior decoration was all in traditional style, and only pure solid wood furniture was used."The household appliances were also fully equipped, all of which were imported brands, and many of them were even custom-made."Fourth, after being divined by a fortune teller, the people living here would be very lucky.Fifth, it had good privacy, wi

Even though I, Baron, have grown older, I am still very skilled in close combat."Lorraine nodded, "Indeed, otherwise could she have beaten up Annabelle like that?"Dawson: ..."Why are you bringing up the pot that I don't want to talk about?""It was you who brought it up first.""What I meant was, let me teach those bastards and scumbags, but you've already handled them all, what am I supposed to do?"Dawson always had a sense of melancholy, as if he had a wealth of talent but nowhere to showcase it.Just now, everyone was already eager and ready to go, planning to use those few p
