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?" John, being an older person, always felt that it would be incon
"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
"This was impossible," Lorraine refused directly."What is impossible? Are you unable to get a divorce, or unable to be with me?" Caleb stared at Lorraine."It was all impossible.""Raine, I really liked you.""I haven't been eating well or sleeping well recently, my mind is full of thoughts about you..."Upon hearing this, Eliza had already broken down.He turned around and left, possibly because he exerted too much force and accidentally bumped into Lorraine's shoulder.But Lorraine was not angry and didn't care."Bro, what nonsense are you talking about?""Is there something wrong with your brain?" Sienna couldn't believe it. She had previously told Eliza that Caleb was interested in Lorraine, but it was just a provocation. Sienna had no idea that Caleb actually had feelings for Lorraine, especially to confess in such a situation. It was simply unbelievable."Raine, couldn't you give me a chance?""What
"I went to do it now."After Lorraine entered the room, she didn't even look at Dawson and went straight into the kitchen to wash her hands and start making noodles.Dawson occasionally glanced towards the kitchen.He whispered to the white cat, "You said she was only in her twenties, but she looked old-fashioned.""Who would like to see this ghostly appearance?""Intentionally made it icy cold, sleeping with her, as if there was an air conditioner next to me.""Who would like a woman like this?""Even if you were a cat, you wouldn't like it, right?"Originally, Jasmine was lying in Dawson's arms, enjoying herself, when he started rambling.The cat got up and walked away directly, without continuing to lie down."Hey? I said a few words to her, and you were not willing to listen anymore.""What is this thing?"Dawson muttered under his breath, but still occasionally glanced towards the kitchen.
Just as Leila was about to release that thing, Lorraine took action once again.She reached out her hand directly to grab Leila's sleeve.Leila was busy operating covertly, retrieving that deadly thing.I'm afraid I might have hurt my friend."Shouldn't we teach him a lesson, with his dog-like behavior?" Leila said in a low voice, suppressing her anger."I understood what you meant, leave it to me."Leila couldn't help it, to be honest, Lorraine couldn't help it either.Leroy was really annoying, a typical person who takes advantage and shows off, once he had his fill, he started smashing the pot.Lorraine went to find Derick initially because she was afraid that he would retaliate against Angeline.No one suggested canceling Leroy's qualification and transferring it to Angeline, after all, it was too obvious.But instead of just keeping Leroy, they also provided Angeline with a subsidy.Little did they kno
I observed that he only wore professional basketball shoes when he played with others."When playing by myself, I wore regular sports shoes.""So, you tampered with the shoes?" Leila suddenly realized."No, I spilled a layer of oil on the floor of the gym.""Huh? Where did it spill?" Leila was confused."Lorraine said, 'Before the cleaning lady entered the stadium, I put the oil in her cleaning bucket.'"Leila looked at her in shock and said, "Wow, you're really skilled. It was at that time when I used to clean the floor before anyone came to play, so it was then that I did it.""Yes," Lorraine nodded.What's even more amazing is that, before someone comes in to play again, Auntie will mop the floor again, and then the grease from last time will be completely gone, right? Within a very short period of time, there will be no evidence left."Um.""Wow, you are really amazing. Your thinking and logic are extremely me
Jaden's sudden change of expression left several executives below him breathless with fear.Haylie: Jaden, you told your friend to be more restrained, whether it's for publicity or for grabbing attention, we still need to be mindful of the location. After all, this is a school, and we should try to avoid any suspicion between boys and girls.Jaden did not reply to Haylie anymore, as he also did not want to make too much of an evaluation on this matter.Three minutes later, he picked up the phone and ordered, "Suppress this matter, do not let it go to the news media."Yes, he didn't know what psychology it was, he just didn't want Lorraine to be discovered by more people.It was as if I had discovered a treasure, but I wanted to keep it a secret and not let anyone else know.Of course, he also didn't ask Lorraine, because it was inappropriate.In comparison, Jaden had a better sense of discretion.Especially afraid that Lorraine
Before Agnes could speak, Lorraine spoke up, "Anna, tell her that our house is not convenient at the moment, and ask her to come another day.""Oh, you're quite heartless, huh? Are you trying to distance yourself immediately?" Helena smiled at Lorraine.Agnes knew the daughter-in-law's intention, which was to save face for the Mercer family and also leave face for the Gregory family.Borrowing money at this time would undoubtedly have resulted in a severe face slap.Helena was there, it was unnecessary to let her borrow money and be ridiculed, it wasn't worth it."Just go as Raine said," Agnes waved her hand, telling Anna to go and handle it.After being rejected, Eleanor left in tears, without even stepping foot inside the Mercer family's house."Let's have a meal." Agnes announced.At this moment, Helena, relentless, glanced at Lorraine and said, "On such a cold day, Eleanor has arrived, and you don't invite her in to sit for
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? I said you asked me to have dinner, so sudden.Lidya: Mom called her son to have dinner, what's so s
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
"Dawson.""Hmm?""I kindly remind you that you haven't fallen asleep yet, so don't start dreaming so soon," Lorraine said seriously.It did amuse Dawson directly.To be honest, why didn't you let me show off just now?"Don't you know the ability of your husband?""We, the Mercer family, do not raise useless people. 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
