"Minor injury.""Did you get it at the mall?" Dawson asked."Yeah.""I'm curious, how did you avoid it?"Dawson stared at Lorraine's clean and calm face."I'm very sensitive. The moment I sense something off behind me, I become highly alert. I crouched down immediately, and he flew right past me."Dawson couldn't help but chuckle softly, but he didn't let go of Lorraine's hand."You were clever.""I was just defending myself, not being clever.""Last night, Jane took that medicine and kept coughing. The hospital said it was poisoning, but Helena suppressed the diagnosis and claimed it was just a cold."Lorraine snorted coldly. "Helena is ruthless. The drug she had Jane use was extremely potent. This kind of anti-tumor medicine is highly toxic to ordinary people and aggressively attacks the lungs. Take Bleomycin, for example. The first reaction is a dry cough, difficulty breathing, and in severe cases, lung failure.""So serious?" Dawson asked, though he wasn't surprised in the slighte

The next second, Helena's office erupted with a blood-curdling scream, as if a pig were being slaughtered.There was no need to witness the scene firsthand to know just how badly Victor had been beaten.That day, two major incidents shook Glory Group internally.First, Victor was severely beaten. Rumors said his face was covered in blood, and he had to be taken to the hospital.Second, the woman caught on surveillance footage was immediately fired by Helena.Actually, many people were curious about this matter because that pantry was an employee rest area and there was no surveillance.In Glory Group, aside from workspaces, many private areas weren't monitored.Yet somehow, this dramatic footage inexplicably spread.Helena had long known about her husband's adultery. As long as it wasn't excessive, she would turn a blind eye to minor flirtations.But this time, the whole company had seen the footage.And the moment Victor uttered "fat pig," Helena had no way to save face.Who was she?

Caleb didn't move at all and didn't feel guilty just because his girlfriend showed up.Eliza Thorne stormed over angrily, grabbed the two women in Caleb's arms, and snapped, "Why haven't you left yet?""Mr. Gregory..."The two women frowned in grievance, but Caleb simply pulled out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from his pocket, stuffed it into their hands, and even gave one of them a playful slap on the backside.Eliza's eyes blazed with fury."What do you mean by this? Am I invisible to you?""Just putting on a show. Can't you tell?""A man's social business.""I had already told you before you came to find me.""If you want an obedient man, go find one in a factory. Plenty of them there."Caleb held a cigar between his fingers, looking completely indifferent.At his words, everyone in the private room burst into laughter.Eliza's face darkened. She had been Caleb's longest-lasting girlfriend.They had been together for over a year, and she had even met his parents.She got along w

Dawson's words made Caleb on the other end of the phone go silent for several seconds.Caleb: "Mr. Mercer?"Dawson: "Yes, it's me."Caleb: "Where's Raine?"Dawson: "She's not available to answer. If you have something to say, tell me. I'm her husband."Caleb's face darkened slightly, especially when he heard Dawson say, "I'm her husband." It made him feel a deep sense of unease.Caleb: "Ah, it's nothing really, just that recently my mom—"Dawson: "If there's nothing important, don't call again. Everyone is busy."Beep, beep, beep...Before Caleb could finish his sentence, Dawson had already hung up.After ending the call, Dawson glanced at Lorraine, who was sitting beside him."Do you want to know who called?""No."Alright then, this girl was really something. She didn't even have a hint of curiosity.Breakfast ended, but Helena's family still didn't show up.Even Agnes couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't Helena's family come these past two days?"Baron, Dawson's third uncle, exchange

Baron feigned ignorance. "What same thing?""There's no best, but I trust my uncle's character."Dawson smiled and patted his uncle's shoulder before turning and stepping into his Rolls-Royce.Baron watched his nephew's back with resentment. "A cunning fox... He's getting harder and harder to deal with."He was beginning to regret his decision.Not regretting his alliance with Helena.But regretting that, during the car accident, he had gone soft and only blinded his nephew instead of finishing the job.Helena had wanted Dawson dead.But Baron, considering their mother, feared that she wouldn't survive the shock of losing her grandson.So he had refused.He thought blinding Dawson would be enough. A blind CEO? That would make him useless.His older brother and sister-in-law were too mild-mannered to fight back, so the first branch of the family would completely crumble.But what he hadn't expected was for Dawson to recover so quickly.How?He was still investigating. Like Helena, he d

Dawson took off his suit jacket with a calm face and was about to step forward to argue when suddenly he was grabbed by a hand.He turned his head and saw Lorraine's calm and composed face.Lorraine didn't say anything; she just shook her head at Dawson."Yeah, since they said it can cure Mom's chronic illness, we should definitely investigate it thoroughly," said Annabelle. She had always been a pushover, so it was normal for her to help Helena."Mom, why don't you just get yourself checked, treat it as a physical examination? Look, Helena even brought the doctor home, how thoughtful, so you don't have to take a car to the hospital," Baron also coaxed the Agnes."Yeah, my daughter rarely shows such filial piety," Agnes stared at Helena, unsure if her words were sincere or sarcastic.But Helena didn't care about those things; she had been extremely frustrated these past two days.Victor had been beaten by her and ended up in the hospital. The nanny at home couldn't take care of her ch

"I learned it from my grandfather.""Who exactly was your grandfather?""My grandfather was just a folk doctor in the mountains, what you would call a wandering physician. He had no credentials, no official inheritance.""A true master! Would there be a chance for me to meet him?""My grandfather passed away four years ago." Lorraine took a deep breath, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes."Prof. Hereford, what's going on? Did she prescribe the wrong medicine for my mother? Did she poison her?""She did add some special ingredients to the prescription."After Lance said this, the expressions of everyone in the room changed."See? I told you she wasn't that kind-hearted.""What exactly did you give my mother?""What was your intention? Who told you to do this?" Helena aggressively approached Lorraine, teeth bared and claws out.She reached out to grab Lorraine's hair but was immediately stopped by Dawson."Helena, perhaps you should hear Prof. Hereford's explanation first before jum

"Apologizing is really unnecessary. Helena is an elder, so it is unreasonable for the younger generation to apologize.""But when you lose, you should still make a gesture, right? This watch in Helena's hand is not bad, so why not give it to Raine as a small gift, as a way to thank her for curing Grandma's illness. Of course, if Helena is reluctant, then consider me not saying anything," Dawson said lightly.Helena was almost furious... Isn't being slapped in the face enough? And now he wants to extort her Vacheron Constantin watch?Helena was about to refuse when she heard Agnes say, "Alright, it's settled then. Raine rarely likes something, so Helena, you can give it to the younger generation. You won't be missing a watch either.""Mom, this is..." Helena felt tightness in her chest. Just when she thought being slapped in the face was not enough, she was also being blackmailed for a watch."Hey, I never said I wanted the watch." Lorraine tugged at Dawson's sleeve and muttered softly

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
