Eliza was actually very bitter, especially when Caleb was about to jump off the building, still thinking about Lorraine.
Caleb, who is now pretending to be crazy in a sanatorium, but in fact, those who know the inside story are aware.
He was never sick, he was just pretending to avoid his creditors.
Eliza had gone to see him a few times, but Caleb clearly had no interest in dealing with his ex-girlfriend.
Eliza also gave up, and now the Gregory family was indeed not prosperous.
Although Eliza liked Caleb, she was also realistic.
However, she was very angry when she realized that Lorraine had never gone to see Caleb.
She also didn't know where this anger came from.
Maybe it was just to simply blame Lorraine.
"Eliza."
"You might have made a mistake."
"Caleb never had me in his heart."
"I don't know what caused you to have such a misunderstanding."
"The Gregory family has been kind to me, that's just what you see, I don't owe anything to the Gregory family."
"If you want to blame me, perhaps you are not qualified enough."
"Because you were nothing now, you were no longer even Caleb's girlfriend, so please be mindful of your attitude."
Lorraine was not so easy to bully, she wouldn't let anyone just pinch her.
"Once I managed to climb up the Mercer family, everything changed, hehe."
"You had better secretly pray that Dawson would love you forever, otherwise, once you are abandoned, it will be very miserable."
"Do I love my wife for a lifetime or not, what's it to you? Who the hell do you think you are?" Dawson came back and saw a woman chattering with Lorraine. As he approached and listened, damn, dare you speak ill of me again?
Eliza and Lorraine turned around and saw Dawson standing by their side, but they didn't know when he had arrived.
Eliza's face changed instantly, and she regretted the words she had just spoken.
"Mr. Mercer, I..."
"Get lost."
The moment Eliza saw Dawson, all her previous arrogance vanished.
She knew that he was the top aristocrat in Amber City, someone she couldn't afford to offend.
She tried to explain, but Dawson rudely interrupted her and insulted her.
Eliza left dejectedly, not daring to stay for another second.
Lorraine was not surprised at all when she married him for the first time, she knew right then that he was a straight man.
He didn't understand the importance of cherishing and valuing women, and he was also a hot-tempered straight man.
After Eliza left, Dawson glanced at his own wife.
Mockingly, "Where's that energy you usually use to argue with me? Why are you so weak today? Could it be that you're feeling down?"
"Congratulations to Mr. Mercer for guessing right, I was just showing off."
"No sense of humor at all."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Dawson also didn't feel like teasing her anymore.
"Mr. Mercer, Mr. James is looking for you."
"Mr. Mercer?"
"Where was Mr. Mercer?"
This was clearly the home ground of the Hart family, but it was evident that Dawson's status was more prestigious.
The big shots of these business districts, everyone in the room was looking for Lorraine.
"If anyone else came in front of you and said that useless thing, you would raise your hand and slap them."
"Don't mention it, did you hear?"
"So rough?" Lorraine slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
"People can't be too kind, they need to have a bit of sharpness. Haven't you heard of this?" Dawson raised an eyebrow.
"Did you learn this from watching short videos? Please watch fewer short videos in the future, Mr. Mercer."
Dawson couldn't help but burst into laughter, and he reached out and pinched her face.
But such intimate gestures, Lorraine was not accustomed to.
So subconsciously, I took two steps back to avoid it.
"I won't spare you if you bully me again."
"I went to do something first, you can find something to eat by yourself."
Dawson knew that Lorraine didn't like dealing with these people, so he simply didn't take her.
Lorraine indeed did not like it, she only liked to do her own things quietly.
But Dawson finally mustered up the courage to speak, and she didn't want to dampen the mood.
To be honest, this guy, apart from having a bad temper, was still good to her.
I did not look down on her, the Mercer family except for Helena and Baron who used to have conflicts.
No one looked down on her...
But recently, my mother-in-law's attitude seemed a bit subtle.
Lorraine was thinking, when she heard the girls around her all walking towards that direction.
Gossiping while walking-
Isn't that Mr. Ellerker from the Ellerker Medicine Group?
"Oh, Mr. Ellerker came too, what a surprise."
"I heard that he was still single."
"Is it true or false?"
"Indeed, Mr. Ellerker was very low-key, but I was really handsome, even better looking than on television."
"Mr. Ellerker had a calm personality and did not like to attract attention."
"Go and add Line quickly, anyway we were not married, both of us had a chance."
Some were socialites, while others were models and hosts.
Everyone started heading towards single Jaden.
And he was indeed inexplicably surrounded by a group of women.
"Mr. Ellerker, could you add me on Line, please?"
"Mr. Ellerker, if I may ask, are you available tomorrow evening?"
"Mr. Ellerker, your father and my father had a good relationship. They were classmates in the President's Office. Do you remember me?"
"Mr. Ellerker, I and your sister were schoolmates at the same school. Shall we get acquainted?"
To be honest, doing business, handling affairs, just can't deal with women.
Jaden was not a very aggressive person, unlike Dawson, who would get scolded like a dog with a bloody head when he got angry.
Jaden was a gentle person, so he didn't know what to do at that moment.
"Everyone move aside, make way."
"Sorry, everyone, my brother, he, has a girlfriend now."
"That girlfriend was jealous, so I didn't add you all on Line."
Tiana followed along today and, when necessary, definitely helped her brother out of a difficult situation.
In order to make these birds give up, Tiana raised her voice.
It caused quite a stir around and also alarmed Lorraine.
She heard the sound and looked over, only to find that Jaden was also there, which was quite surprising.
And Jaden seemed to feel that there was a gaze staring at him, so he instinctively turned his head to the side.
At that moment, our eyes met.
He looked into her eyes, with an endless tenderness.
Lorraine, however, immediately turned her head away, not even giving a slight nod.
Compared to other girls, she was relatively rational, so rational that she was often misunderstood as heartless.
Jaden was not disappointed, instead he felt a little pleased in his heart.
At least Lorraine knew that she saw me, so tonight wasn't a waste.
"Ah? Wasn't Mr. Ellerker single?"
"Yeah, haven't you always been without a girlfriend?"
"Sorry, everyone, just had something."
As for my identity, it is not convenient to disclose. Currently, I was still in a relationship.
"I'm really sorry."
Tiana, despite being young, had a sharp mind.
He dismissed these women with just a few words.
Then he turned to his older brother and boasted, "Brother, am I amazing?"
"How did I just perform?"
"You were amazing, Ms. Ellerker."
"How are you going to thank me then? Hehe." Tiana is an immature child after all, not even twenty years old, attending an art college and studying music, with a very innocent personality.
"What do you want, brother will buy it."
"I wanted you to be with Haylie sister."
"No way, don't be silly," Jaden immediately called a halt."I didn't cause any trouble, bro. I don't lack anything now, except for a sister-in-law. Every time dad goes out to attend someone else's child's wedding, oh my, the envy is strong. You better hurry up and get married, let our dad be happy.""Why don't you get married soon and find a son-in-law who can come to our house? Dad will be even happier.""You..."One sentence, Tiana was left speechless.But after several attempts, it became clear that my brother really didn't like Haylie.Even though Haylie visited her brother diligently when he was hospitalized last time, their relationship did not make any progress.Lorraine stood in the corner, chatting with Leila on Line.Leila finally had a friend, which amplified her desire to confide and share.When I was in my hometown, I would occasionally complain to Lorraine.Lorraine, although seemingly quiet, was abl
"I could do it, no problem."Lorraine was a person with particularly stable emotions, so she didn't show anything out of the ordinary.The attitude was also consistent, without fear, without nervousness, and without showing off.Keely's face at this moment could no longer conceal her self-satisfaction.I was afraid that Lorraine wouldn't fight, but she was confident that she would definitely win."Come on then.""Waiter, bring all the categories of wine for tonight.""We needed two more glass cups."Keely was proud and worried that Lorraine might change her mind and not play anymore.The people around also began to whisper gossip quietly."How come I heard that Keely had an excellent alcohol tolerance?""Tsk tsk, in the entertainment industry, there were a few with poor alcohol tolerance.""The lady of the Mercer family, she was probably going to suffer a loss.""Yeah, it didn't feel as good a
"Wow, so that was the Mercer family, Mrs. Mercer, right?""So beautiful.""What happened?""I actually thought she was even more beautiful than Keely, what do you think, brother?"Tiana and Jaden were also among the crowd watching the excitement, but they were not in the front row, so they were not as noticeable.Tiana had no idea that was the vixen Haylie was talking about, who seduced her brother.I just took a quick glance and instantly fell in love with this elegant and cold temperament young lady.Jaden didn't say anything, but his gaze remained fixed on Lorraine.In his opinion, Lorraine was beautiful even without carefully dressing up."You speak, bro, I'm asking you?""Hmm." Rarely, Mr. Ellerker also accepted his sister's praise."Haha, right? You think so too? But this Keely is so cunning, those entertainers must have a high alcohol tolerance, isn't she deliberately making things difficult for peop
After Keely had vomited wildly, she began to regain some consciousness.She endured the discomfort in her stomach and managed to stand up.Fortunately, she was a female celebrity and didn't eat much on a regular basis, so at this time, what she vomited out was also just alcohol.But even so, it is still very embarrassing."Stop talking."Keith lowered his voice, not allowing Keely to show off.The current situation today is exactly what she herself created, so who can she blame?Keely looked at Lorraine, seeing her unharmed.Even more incredible, an idea popped up.As soon as this idea came up, it hurriedly blurted out, "Mrs. Mercer, could it be that you cheated?"As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was extremely surprised."What does this mean?" Lorraine remained unfazed."I don't believe that you could drink so much alcohol and be fine, so I have reason to suspect that you took some kind o
"Bro, are you going to speak?""Do you really know that fairy lady?""Oh my, do you really know each other?"Tiana was still immersed in her excited emotions."Shh." Jaden made a gesture and continued to watch the game.Keely, feeling helpless, had no choice but to reluctantly undergo a blood test.The testing personnel on both sides started operating, just like Lorraine.Finally, the result came out."Ingredients for a hangover cure were found in Ms. Sadler's blood. Based on the concentration, a minimum of two pills were required."This statement was said by the testing personnel brought by Dawson.As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience once again exclaimed in astonishment.The Hart family was completely dumbfounded, and Keith lost all his dignity."Did you get it wrong? I used to frequently take painkillers because of the high work pressure.""Could it be painkillers?" Keely
"She was really unique, cool as hell, I liked her.""Met through a friend," Jaden calmly replied as he drove."Oh, then why didn't you just go over and say hello when you saw them earlier?""I didn't want to disturb her," Jaden's mind flashed with that figure, and his eyes involuntarily softened."Do you have her Line? I want to add her. I declare that I am a die-hard fan of Miss Wine Goddess. No, it's not because she can drink, but because she is so intelligent. Haha, she is simply a role model for people like me.""No Line.""Che... What kind of friend is that?"Jaden winning against Lorraine did not come as a surprise.She was proficient in medicine since she was young, not to mention alcohol, it is estimated that ordinary poisons had little effect on her.The medical heritage is much more powerful than ordinary people can imagine.However, because the current society is controlled by capital, the truth will no
When Lorraine woke up, it was already 6:10 in the morning.Although it was still dark in the north, the outside was pitch black.But she had no sleepiness at all.From childhood to adulthood, she firmly believed in one thing.Any dream that cannot be remembered is meaningless.Any dream that can be remembered and is very clear should have been a premonition.For example, many years ago, I once went to gather medicinal herbs with my grandfather and saw a villager.Later that night, she dreamt of the person lying in the firelight.A few days later, news came that the house had caught fire, and the whole family died in the blaze.Once, she dreamt that her grandfather went to gather herbs and got bitten by a poisonous snake.So that morning, she was crying and refusing to let grandpa go out no matter what she said.But Grandpa insisted on going out, and as a result, he was really bitten and almost lost his life
Lorraine stopped in her tracks, "Hmm, I was doing part-time work here.""Do you two know each other?" Rhett suddenly realized, even a little surprised.The Ellerker family was known, famous pharmaceutical tycoons.Speaking of family background, it goes without saying that Jaden, the person in front of me, was definitely one of the wealthiest individuals.What about that little girl who used to do part-time work at her own home?How could she have known anyone from the Ellerker family?This little girl, in terms of her appearance, attire, and manner of speech and behavior, did not resemble a wealthy person at all; she just seemed like an ordinary girl."Ah, I knew her," Lorraine also answered truthfully."I went to make tea first, you went to chat with Rhett first."Without giving Jaden a chance to say much, Lorraine busied herself with pouring tea.Jaden simply explained his current predicament to Rhett in great d
"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? It's because I have a crush on Jaden, from my teenage years when my heart first fluttered, to now as I have grown and matured.""Haylie...
"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
"Did you go to pick up Jenna from school?"Lorraine did not directly answer Dawson's question, but instead deflected."He came back, washing his hands downstairs and getting ready to eat. Don't interrupt, would you like to stay at home tonight?"The two of them had a disagreement last time, and this cold war has been going on for quite some time.Dawson, who rarely came back on his own, quickly mustered up the courage to persuade him to stay."I didn't plan on leaving anyway," Lorraine tried her best to appear natural.Dawson was very happy. "Let's go downstairs and have a meal.""I didn't eat at night, you can go.""Accompany me and Jenna to have some food, mainly because Jenna also misses you."Dawson found that once he used the child as a shield, it worked extremely well.Lorraine didn't say anything, but it was obvious that she had already agreed.The two of them walked downstairs and went straight to t
Jaden spoke up, "Well then, I won't disturb you. I'll come visit again when I have the chance."After saying that, Jaden turned around and left."Rhett, I didn't want it, the money was too much.""What's with all this 'too much'? Take it and buy yourself some nice clothes. It's almost New Year, and you're dressed too plain. No young person dresses like you, looking like a nun.""I..."Lorraine was shocked, Rhett actually despised her?Did I not dress well?Oh my God!Lorraine was about to say something, but the old man had already turned and gone upstairs.Helplessly, Lorraine had to put away the red envelope, thinking of using the money to buy goods for Rhett later.Anyway, a lot of medicinal materials needed to be replenished every month.After work, Lorraine received a call from a stranger.Lorraine: Hello?Caller: Excuse me, is this Mrs. Mercer? (in a male voice)Lorraine: I was.
"Right, you have never heard of it before, how do you find it?""And as far as I know, this divine herb did not have any specific place or environment for its growth."That is to say, it was not necessarily found anywhere."Our country was vast and abundant, with a wide coverage of forests.""You searched nationwide, but it was like finding a needle in a haystack.""By the time you find them, it's estimated that all three of them would have been missing for about a year."Rhett was not gloating, he was just being too straightforward.Jaden remained silent, and if even Rhett couldn't do anything, then it seemed... there was no hope."The younger generation understood," Jaden nodded.Rhett sighed slightly and said, "Nowadays, many traditional medicines will be labeled with a warning for those with impaired kidney function, but many people don't pay attention to the instructions and just take the medicine indiscriminately.
Lorraine stood up and took out her phone, "Saving a life is important, transfer it to my phone."In the spare time when she had just made tea, she also heard bits and pieces.Although I didn't hear it all, I knew that Jaden was trying to save someone.Jaden glanced at Lorraine with gratitude and said, "Thank you for your help.""No problem."With the addition of the two individuals, Jaden entered the password layer by layer to unlock the company's confidential files.Directly called out the ingredients of this new product.In order to increase the chances of winning, he even provided the ingredient that set the base on fire.After receiving the phone, Lorraine handed it to Rhett.As for why didn't I just use Jaden's phone to watch?That was because their phone had too much important information, and Rhett didn't want to cause any trouble.What should you do if you accidentally saw something you shouldn't ha
Lorraine stopped in her tracks, "Hmm, I was doing part-time work here.""Do you two know each other?" Rhett suddenly realized, even a little surprised.The Ellerker family was known, famous pharmaceutical tycoons.Speaking of family background, it goes without saying that Jaden, the person in front of me, was definitely one of the wealthiest individuals.What about that little girl who used to do part-time work at her own home?How could she have known anyone from the Ellerker family?This little girl, in terms of her appearance, attire, and manner of speech and behavior, did not resemble a wealthy person at all; she just seemed like an ordinary girl."Ah, I knew her," Lorraine also answered truthfully."I went to make tea first, you went to chat with Rhett first."Without giving Jaden a chance to say much, Lorraine busied herself with pouring tea.Jaden simply explained his current predicament to Rhett in great d
