"Mr. Mercer, there is no need for you to take it personally.""Hehe, you sure know how to shift the blame.""I'm not someone who stirs up trouble, I just instinctively protect myself. If I don't shift the blame, who knows what kind of accusation Mr. Mercer might pin on me next time? I'm just a helpless orphan; I can't bear that kind of burden.""An orphan wouldn't be as sharp-tongued as you, never suffering a single loss."Lorraine no longer intended to continue arguing, it was very boring.So, she simply reached out her hand and turned off the lights...The bedroom instantly became pitch black."Who said you could turn off the lights?" Dawson was somewhat annoyed."If you think it's too bright, you can go to the study.""This is my bedroom, Lorraine," Dawson sneered."Half of it belongs to me now. How about this, you get two bedside lamps tomorrow, one on each side? I'll turn off mine, you keep yours on. We won't interfere with each other that way."Dawson was stunned into silence.D

Inside the VIP ward of the hospital.As soon as Sienna saw Lorraine enter the room, she immediately started cursing loudly."You still have the nerve to come? How dare you?""It was your brother who picked me up," Lorraine said expressionlessly."If it weren't for you, how would I have gotten hurt? Lorraine, you're so vicious.""You pretend to be nice to me, but the next moment you turn around and betray me. Lorraine, you're truly evil.""How did Peter find out that I went to the Mercer family's home, huh? Tell me! Say something!" Sienna started losing her cool again.Before Lorraine could speak, Eleanor also said with a dark expression on her face. "Raine, you've stayed with our family for four years now. During these four years, we haven't let you go hungry or cold. You should not be so ungrateful.""Sienna was the one who was supposed to marry into the Mercer family. Now that she has given up the opportunity for you, how could you turn around and harm her like this?"John glanced a

Lorraine reacted quickly as the kettle came hurling toward her.She desperately struggled to break free from Caleb's hold, and then she exerted all her strength to push Caleb away.The boiling water kettle hit Caleb's back squarely.Suddenly, the boiling water spilled out and splashed all over the floor.Fortunately, Caleb was wearing thick clothing, but he still got scalded by the boiling water. His nape and hands were both burned.He immediately shrieked in pain.Lorraine was standing farther away and was only splashed a little on the back of her right hand. She quickly wiped it dry with her sleeve."Sienna, have you gone mad?" Lorraine was really angry this time."Yes, I am crazy. People like you should just die. Go die quickly. How dare you think you deserve to be with Dawson?"Hatred was reflected in Sienna's eyes and in her heart.Sienna even blamed the beating she received from Peter on Lorraine, claiming that Lorraine's gossiping led Dawson to make that phone call."If it were

Lorraine turned around and, sure enough, saw Dawson's smug face.Unfortunately, she did not care much about these things."You're home." She still didn't get up.Dawson took off his coat and casually threw it into the maid's hands. He also squatted down to pick the medicine up with her."What did you buy?" Dawson was completely clueless about traditional medicine.The Mercer Group had its own private hospital, and Dawson even had his own private doctor.As a financial prodigy who had studied abroad, he didn't know much about the traditional medicine."Some traditional medicine for health.""Something to nourish the body?" he asked casually.But Lorraine was easily embarrassed and blushed instantly."No.""It's to help with sleep.""Sour jujube kernels were added with tangerine peel, lily, gardenia, and poria.""An ancient pharmacologist once said: 'For restlessness and exhaustion causing sleeplessness, sour jujube decoction is the remedy.'""Cook some for me too, I haven't been sleepi

"Alright, how much did your herbal medicine cost?" Dawson suppressed a smile."15 dollars," Lorraine replied irritably."I will send you the money. Give me your contact details." Dawson casually took out his phone, using the excuse of transferring money to demand Lorraine's contact details.Just like that, he easily obtained Lorraine's Line ID without any hesitation.A notification sounded. 150 dollars was sent to Lorraine."That's too much. I said 15 dollars." Lorraine said coldly."Isn't it said that herbal medicine needs to be taken for a week to be effective? This is the cost of a week's worth of medication.""Who said that?" Lorraine was confused."I watched it on TV.""Mr. Mercer, you should watch less television in the future."After saying that, Lorraine couldn't help but laugh and turned around to enter the bathroom."Is she mocking me?" Dawson was stunned.However, it must be said that on this night, Dawson slept extremely soundly.Although he hadn't dreamed in a long time,

"What are you trying to say?" Lily looked at Lorraine with a proud expression."Ms. Finch, do not dodge the question.""I gave it to him, so what? I have known Mr. Mercer for many years," Lily deliberately spoke in a suggestive tone.In fact, everyone at Glory Group knew about her feelings for Dawson.Even if he couldn't marry her now, it didn't mean they wouldn't be together in the future. Lily was confident about that."You have good taste. The cufflinks are quite nice.""Are you mocking me?" Lily was momentarily taken aback by Lorraine's compliment.After spending so long navigating workplace rivalries, she had grown used to reading hidden meanings and sarcasm into people's words."If that's what you think, then suit yourself." Lorraine smiled, unfazed by Lily's rudeness.Soon, the two of them arrived at the largest luxury shopping mall in the city center.Lily kept a cold expression the entire time and led Lorraine into a designer boutique.This designer had become very popular in

Dawson's face darkened. "Lily, when did I ever give you such authority?"Lily noticed Dawson's displeasure and immediately apologized."Mr. Mercer, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy."I just think that woman has never been worthy of you.""Whether she is worthy or not is not for you to judge," Dawson exclaimed angrily."I was just...""That's enough."Put away your little tricks. She isn't foolish either.""Mr. Mercer, you clearly have no feelings for her." Lily was on the verge of tears.In her youthful arrogance, she had always despised Sienna from the Gregory family.Moreover, that woman was just an unknown adopted daughter of the Gregory family. How could she be worthy of Lily's dream guy?"Marriage between wealthy families isn't about love.""Even so, you should have married someone more suitable. What does she have?"No education, no skills, no family, no background, and... I don't even think she loves you."In her desperation, Lily blurted out that last sentence

"Sure."Lorraine barely changed her expression and agreed readily.Helena found it particularly interesting and immediately became intrigued.In fact, Helena and Baron Mercer never had a good impression of their own nephew, let alone this niece-in-law who had no background or status.Helena came from the prestigious Mercer family and had been doted on by her father since childhood.As a result, she developed an arrogant and domineering personality, acting recklessly without regard for rules or authority.These traits were evident not only within the Mercer family but also in the company, where everyone feared her.Dawson's mother had a gentle personality and never bothered to engage with this unreasonable sister-in-law.Within the Mercer family, Helena respected only Agnes and Dawson—she didn't take anyone else seriously.Now, she had unexpectedly gotten into an argument with this niece-in-law, which was something she hadn't anticipated."Since that's the case, don't regret it," Helen

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

"When he came to your house for a meal, he gave you face, and you still dare to ask for money?"With one slap, the male boss's nose immediately started bleeding.The boss and his wife were immediately frightened, and they dared not stand up for justice anymore, after all, the people in front of them were truly wicked and vicious.The girl with short hair, realizing the situation was not good, took the opportunity to grab the girl with long hair and ran.This run further infuriated the group of men.Those who hadn't stood up also stood up one after another.Directly blocking the way of two girls.One of them was particularly brutal and violent, grabbing the long-haired girl by her hair."Bitch, Karter took a liking to you, it was your luck.""Do you still want to run?""He really didn't know how to appreciate."After saying that, the big man slapped the long-haired girl, causing her to see stars in her eyes.

"You let go, I didn't run."Dawson finally let go.Lorraine took another look at the car and asked, "It's really nice, how much does it cost?""It was very cheap, only a little over three hundred thousand."Dawson used a talent, fully demonstrating his lack of understanding of the hardships of the common people.Seeing Lorraine remain silent, Dawson continued, "To be honest, you get what you pay for. I really can't accept you driving a car that costs less than 300,000, with poor performance and safety concerns. If you're going to be on the road in the future, you must consider safety.""I understood.""So... Mrs. Mercer, could you make me a late-night snack? I was really hungry, I could eat a whole cow."Just after the words were spoken, there was some regret.Because it was already late, and Lorraine had also worked all day.So Dawson immediately changed his words, "Mrs. Mercer, would you invite me to have someth

Underling: Derick only met with five people today, made contact with two others by phone, and there were no deliveries.Mr. Ellerker: Do we have a list?Underling: Yes.Subsequently, the subordinates sent the well-organized list as expected.Lorraine was actually on the list.But Jaden seemed to have a sense of it, seeing this name, not at all surprised.Although he couldn't believe it either, Lorraine had that kind of divine grass. Could it be the Mercer family's treasure?Of the five people Derick saw, the other three were municipal leaders who came to the school for inspection.The other person was a student's parent, who came to deal with their child's emotional distress after a failed relationship with a classmate. Upon returning home, the parent noticed some abnormal behavior in their child. This parent was unreasonable and wanted to shift the blame onto the school.These four people, surely could not have been the

"Haylie, don't be rude, what nonsense are you talking about?" Derick's face immediately turned red.Haylie's mother, Skye Shelley, quickly intervened and said, "Don't listen to this girl's nonsense, she's just a playful character who says whatever comes to her mind, it's all nonsense.""What I said was the truth.""We have known each other's families for so many years.""You all should know that I used to like Jaden.""My appearance, it can't be said to be stunningly beautiful, but it can be considered above average."Although not exceptionally intelligent, he also attended Amber Medical University and had his own research and development team.In fact, many people in school pursued me, and there were also quite a few local young masters."But I have never been in a relationship, why?

"What do you say?"Dawson didn't dare to say a word, but upon careful reflection, it was true... If it weren't for him, there would be no way for Lorraine and Keely, such popular celebrities, to have any connection at all.Everyone could see Keely's enthusiasm for Dawson, and he knew it himself.But he was not fond of heavy makeup, exaggerated appearance, or even the pretentiousness that comes with creating a false persona.Those in the entertainment industry, who are the best at creating a public image, have gained everyone's attention.In Dawson's opinion, it seemed too fake.Nowhere is there anyone like him, knowing full well that he is a powerful boss who cannot be offended, yet still giving him a displeased look."On Keely's side, if you want, I can give it a try.""Let her be ruined immediately, to the point where she couldn't even survive in the entertainment industry for the rest of her life.""This is not braggi
