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
After Dawson finished speaking, Agnes looked at her grandson with a puzzled expression.If it weren't for Derick, the outsider, she would have couldn't help but give her grandson another slap. He deserves a good beating.This question was really asking for trouble.Lorraine was not surprised at all, it was not unexpected to hear these words from Dawson's mouth.But since we were acting, let's just go along with him.So Lorraine reached out her hand and affectionately linked her arm with Dawson's.People also became exceptionally gentle. "Honey, I wanted to go, there's nothing wrong with furthering my studies at the medical school."Dawson was used to Lorraine's calmness and composure, so he was indeed a little uncomfortable with her sudden gentleness like water.Some even seemed dazed, giving a somewhat unreal feeling."Honey, can't you just let me go? Mr. Shelley said so.""As long as the exam was passed, one can go to study and even obtain a graduation certificate," Lorraine blinked
"Barbecued." Lorraine is just like this. Since you asked me to order, I won't hesitate.Dawson, on the other hand, had no expression and thought that a barbecue would be fine.Wherever Dawson went, it was always high-end and luxurious.Twenty minutes later, the Maybach stopped in front of a high-end barbecue restaurant."Mr. Mercer."The waiters at the entrance were all familiar with Dawson, clearly a regular customer."Was there a private room?"After Dawson asked, without waiting for the waiter's response, Lorraine shook her head and said, "Eating in a private room has no atmosphere, let's go to the main hall.""Okay then." Dawson, for once, compromised."Find a good vantage point.""Alright, Mr. Mercer, please come this way."After being led to their seats by the waiter, the two of them took the menu and started to look at it attentively.Order whatever you want to eat, Lorraine was not at all polite.However, the things she ordered were not very expensive, all of them were vegetab
Lorraine gave a faint smile and said, "Eliza, you had a vivid imagination.""You little brat, refusing to admit it, huh?" Eliza said aggressively."Not admitting? You're overthinking it. These are just your imaginations, there is no substantial evidence at all. And, by the way, these should be what Sienna told you, right?"Eliza's face slightly changed."Are all of you who work as models lacking the ability to think independently?""Do you believe in these things just because others said so?""What on earth was wrong with me? Why did I go and flirt with Caleb even after getting married to Dawson?""Think about it carefully," Lorraine analyzed calmly."But at the birthday banquet, I clearly saw Caleb looking at you with his eyes..."Eliza didn't think she was stupid, it was just because she was worried that Sienna was fooling her.So, the Gregory family observed carefully on the night of the birthday banquet.I indeed felt that Caleb's gaze towards Lorraine was somewhat different, a wo
"Returned to the Gregory family.""These are for you to eat, packed by the barbecue restaurant," Dawson said casually.Anna was a little surprised. Did she see it correctly? The young master of their family's benefactor actually packed his things?"Thank you, Dawson.""She packed it, no need to thank me."However, in fact, it was Dawson who paid the bill, and the barbecue meal cost several thousand dollars."Dawson came back, have you heard the gossip about the Reed family?"Dawson walked into the living room and only then did he realize that Helena was also there.At the same time, my own parents and grandmother were present, but Baron's family was nowhere to be seen.Helena's father and children were also not there, only Helena alone.She was wearing the winter collection of a luxury brand with very extravagant patterns, and she seemed to be in a good mood.Dawson walked over and casually found a seat farthest away from Helena."Oh? What gossip?"Helena smiled and said, "I heard tha
Eleanor immediately exchanged a glance with her son, Caleb, who nodded slightly.Take out a pack of herbs that the two people had randomly chosen before, and put it on the table.The moment Lorraine slowly opened...She felt disappointed.And this disappointment was also seen by both Eleanor and Caleb.It seems they guessed right, these herbs were indeed not valuable goods.That old man, who was considered precious at first, was sent to them, but they truly despised him."Eleanor, I remember my grandfather seemed to have had a bronze wine cup....""That was my grandfather's heirloom, passed down from his own grandfather. Is it still at home?""Well, I didn't pay attention. I'll look for it when I have time, don't worry," Eleanor smiled awkwardly."You also know, our villa is spacious with many rooms, and with a lot of Sienna and Caleb's belongings, it's really not easy to find something you're looking for. As for these herbs, it was the nanny who discovered them when she was cleaning
"It's okay, if everything goes smoothly, we will eliminate a thorn in our eye.""If things didn't go smoothly, it wouldn't affect you. Those people are only responsible for collecting money, they have no idea that it's us behind the scenes.""I hope so."Annabelle, after all, had a background in acting and was not very brave.She was not as cruel and inherently bad as Helena.So only those people were involved, they tied up Lorraine and took some explicit photos to ruin her reputation.Don't actually do anything, after all, a girl's reputation is sometimes really more important than life.Annabelle may have been a little hesitant and uneasy as she did something like this for the first time.After Lorraine left the Gregory family's villa, she indeed did not manage to catch a car.Most villa areas were quite remote, and it took a long time to walk to some popular bus stops.Lorraine glanced at her phone and realized it was already past eight in the evening.The time may not be late, but
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
