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

"Mom, Dawson may not understand, but we can't be ignorant too.""Since Raine has already married into our family, she is also our daughter-in-law..."Lidya had just said this when her daughter-in-law arrived, making it impossible to continue the conversation.She glanced at her daughter-in-law standing at the doorway, feeling conflicted.Lidya's intentions were clear—she didn't want the conflict between Lorraine and Helena to escalate.So, she hoped that Agnes could persuade Helena while she tried to talk to Lorraine.Although this daughter-in-law was a last-minute replacement sent by the Gregory family—a fake heiress—It didn't stop their family from genuinely liking her.Lidya knew her own son well. Given Dawson's personality, if Lorraine wasn't a good person, would he really tolerate sharing a room with her? Would he drink the calming soup she made?Besides, Lorraine was beautiful, quiet, and respectful toward elders.Most importantly, Agnes and Lidya also believed that this girl w

Lorraine said, "Dawson."Her tone was gentle as she called him by his full name.At such a late hour, it carried an unusual feeling."Hmm?" The man still felt quite pleased with himself."Do you not have a mirror? Or do you not have the urge to relieve yourself?"Dawson was lost for words.Only then did he realize that he had just been mocked.The next second, just as Dawson was about to press her down to scare her a little, something interrupted him.Unexpectedly, Lorraine, who had already figured out his bullying tactics, got out of bed first."I'm just suggesting you take a good look at yourself in the mirror."Leaving those words behind, Lorraine grabbed her coat and walked out of the bedroom.She didn't return for the entire night.Dawson didn't really care where she went to sleep. After all, aside from the Mercer's place, she had nowhere else to go.Besides, after drinking that calming soup for the past two days, Dawson had been sleeping exceptionally well. He lay back down and

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
