Peter did drink too much, and he did act crazy when there were a lot of people.They are all top-notch wealthy families, but to say one is in a different league.The Reed family was the late bloomer, still far behind the Mercer family.Sienna didn't feel good when she was treated like an object and passed around by people.Although it may be a joke, making fun of her is also a disrespectful behavior.Peter was really out of line tonight, but unfortunately, she couldn't control this guy at all, especially when he was drunk.Looking at Lorraine's face again, she remained as calm as ever.It could be because Lorraine herself did not put herself in the role of Dawson's wife.So she did not feel disrespected or embarrassed.Just like a bystander, calmly watching this grand performance.Just as everyone was waiting for Dawson's response.A shocking scene occurred.Without any warning, Dawson kicked Peter and sent him flying.It was really fast that no one saw it clearly, and no one even had
Baron also chimed in, "I heard that Dawson got into a fight because of you. You say you're young and foolish, why didn't you handle the situation? They say to marry a virtuous wife, but I don't see any sign of virtue in you, really."The Mercer family's aunt and uncle, from the very beginning, looked down upon this niece-in-law.Just because she had no background, the Gregory family was not considered respectable in their eyes, let alone Lorraine, who was not even the Gregory family's own daughter.So both in words and between the lines, it was all about sarcasm and complaints."What are you all talking about? What's going on that you're keeping from me, Agnes?" Agnes didn't want her daughter-in-law to be talked about, so she quickly asked for the reason."The Reed family brat, being cheeky, got a kick from me," Dawson explained to his grandmother after taking a sip of his tea."Isn't it that simple? How come I heard that you guys did it for a woman?" Helena sneered."Helena, were you
Lorraine held the glass with both hands and calmly glanced at Keely."What kind of relationship?""Actually... it's nothing, Dawson just showed a little more concern for me, that's all. You just don't misunderstand, that's all.""Okay."Keely observed Lorraine's expression and felt that she didn't seem to be pretending. From beginning to end, Keely didn't see any jealousy, disgust, or even hostility in Lorraine's eyes. This is not logical, is it?The socialite had also encountered a few of them in the past, and they were all difficult to deal with.Is it true, as rumored?The Gregory family's adopted daughter, was she not favored?After arriving at the Mercer family, was there still no presence?If that's the case, it would be great," Keely smiled and said, "Since we have such a connection, why don't we become friends, Ms. Turner? Which celebrity do you like? I can help you get an autographed photo. I can tell you this, I am friends with half of the entertainment industry.""Sorry, I
Ryan thought that no matter how bad Sienna was, she was engaged to Dawson.Now married to someone else, she taught her ex-husband a lesson, which became quite famous and can be considered as venting."Her? Is she even a match?" Dawson couldn't even remember what Sienna looked like.Specifically, Sienna liked to wear heavy makeup, and her style was very versatile. It looked good, but it lacked uniqueness. If you saw her too often, you would forget what she really looked like.Unlike Lorraine, she was never the same...When thinking of Sienna, the image of Lorraine wearing a red cheongsam last night involuntarily comes to mind.The first time I saw her so stunning, it was still somewhat unforgettable."So, you were trying to intimidate the Gregory family?" Ryan guessed.Dawson remained silent and continued to look at the documents."However, Caleb has indeed encountered some trouble recently. The guy who dragged him into the cryptocurrency circle was already a troublemaker, and he unexp
Agnes got angry and directly reached out to hit Dawson, saying, "You are so bad at speaking, really annoying."Dawson didn't move either, anyway Agnes wasn't putting in much effort.He just glanced at Lorraine, but she didn't even look at him.During dinner, only Agnes was accompanied by the couple, Dawson and Lorraine.The others did not come back because they had various things to do, so it was unusually quiet.Lorraine ate very little, barely touched the dishes on the table, and took a long time to chew and swallow each bite."You, child, eat, eat more.""Grandma, over the years I have developed a habit of not eating lunch and I couldn't eat.""You fake doctors, always promoting that whole health preservation thing, but none of you lived to a ripe old age. Just last year, there was news about the founder of a health preservation center, only 53 years old, marketing himself every day and advocating for everyone to live a healthy lifestyle, but he ended up kicking the bucket first."
"Did they dare?"Although the Reed family is now also an elite aristocracy, they are nothing in front of the Mercer family.Thinking about it makes me angry. Peter, this scumbag, was just a complete loser."Daring to stir up trouble, but not daring to take responsibility." Sienna sat on the sofa, crossing her arms."How come I heard that he was boasting a lot and saying he would seek revenge?" Caleb said."Who doesn't know how to brag, if someone got beaten up, they can't just not even fart.""But I know Peter, he didn't have much of his own opinion, mainly just listened to his parents.""My in-laws meant that I should avoid provoking Dawson.""Once it was done, it was done, no point in regretting.""He deserved to be beaten, who let him have a big mouth." Sienna had originally hoped to have a splendid performance at the birthday banquet, but little did she know that not only did she fail to suppress Lorraine, but she also became a laughingstock.Peter was her husband, and in such a s
Lorraine turned around and obediently changed her clothes in the room.Still dressed extremely simply, she was wearing a beige sweater.The following outfit consisted of dark blue jeans, a pair of beige suede boots, and a black cotton jacket.These were all recently purchased in the past few days, at affordable prices, but the quality is very good. They are all from some niche brands.Black long hair, this time chose to freely scatter over the shoulders.Putting on a black baseball cap, the youthfulness instantly overflowed.How Agnes used to see this child, how she used to be delighted.I always felt that this child had a quiet and mature demeanor that was beyond their age, humble and polite, and poised.Mingming, who was born in the deep mountains and never received any education, had a good upbringing.A black Mercedes-Benz business car traveled discreetly.Agnes had a dedicated driver and did not bring any bodyguards, only Anna and Lorraine.The headquarters of Glory Group."Mr. M
"Grandma.""Come, meet Mr. Shelley.""Hello, Mr. Shelley," Lorraine greeted calmly, although she was extremely nervous inside."This was my daughter-in-law, Lorraine."Derick nodded, "Hello.""Everyone, please have a seat. Anna, you go make tea. I don't trust their skills.""Okay, Agnes.""Um."After the Mercer family dismissed Anna, the old lady, in the quaint and elegant private room, there were only the three of them."Mr. Shelley, to be honest, my daughter-in-law has never received formal education, but she has read many books and has talent. She also has knowledge in medicine. She learned medicine from her grandfather since she was young, and she is familiar with many herbs and can also write prescriptions.""Now she was only 22 years old.""I have always not advocated for girls to give up on themselves when they get married.""So, what do you think about sending my daughter-in-law to study here with you, to further her medical education?"Agnes is truly a remarkable person, she
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
