His Substitute Bride: Love at First Cure Chapter 8
"Esteemed Mr. Mercer, I know you're rich and domineering, but I am neither your subordinate nor your maid. I don't have to report everything to you, do I?" Lorraine huffed."I am just asking, not demanding a report. Ms. Turner, do you really think I care about those trivial matters between you and the Gregory family? Ridiculous."Annoyance flared up as arrogance took over, with a hint of pride."If you find it so ridiculous, then don't ask." Lorraine retorted, deliberately turning her head to look out the window.The driver in front was so terrified that he dared not say a word, and the atmosphere grew awkward.They remained silent the entire way to the Mercer's estate.Dawson was holding his phone and arranging work.Lorraine however, was quietly reading a medical book.At the Mercer family's old mansion, the news of Dawson's healed eyesight spread like wildfire.Agnes tearfully touched her grandson's face with her wrinkled hands, "Bless our ancestors, it must be the ancestors' inter

"Really?" Lorraine's eyes lit up.These thoughts and details could not escape the big shot's sharp eyes."Of course.""I..."Lorraine really wanted to just say it outright, "I want the fire-red bead that Grandpa once gave to the Gregory family."After all, she had stayed with the Gregory family for four years, just looking for an opportunity to find out where it went.She had searched almost everywhere in those four years but in vain. It was strange.Except for the safe in John's room.There was no trace of the bead anywhere.But she also felt it was unlikely to be in the safe.Because recently the Gregory family had a financial crisis, and John had opened the safe.She was not there at that time.But later, from John and Eleanor's conversation, she learned that the safe only had gold, diamonds, and luxury watches.No one mentioned the bead, and she didn't dare to ask.For the past four years, her relationship with the Gregory family had always been delicate.To be precise, all four m

Dawson casually asked, "Did you find anything?""That was not the case.""Without evidence, keep your mouth shut."The male assistant trembled in fear as he saw the president getting angry and quickly nodded, "Yes, Mr. Mercer.""Go out."When the male assistant walked out, he happened to brush shoulders with Lily.The entire corporation knew that this secretary was someone Dawson trusted.She was loyal to Dawson, always defending him in the company, and had ongoing power struggles with Helena and Baron, both overt and covert.Lily Finch is 25 years old this year and had joined Glory Group headquarters a year ago.She had not gone through the standard recruitment process; Dawson had personally arranged for her entry.Lily maintained an excellent physique. Despite standing around 1.7 meters tall, she only weighed only about 50kg.Wearing a navy-blue suit, she looked especially smart.Unlike the typical internet-celebrity look, Lily had distinct features. Beneath her light makeup, her fa

The Foster family had a background in petroleum and chemical industries, boasting immense wealth. In Amber City, the Foster family was among the most powerful."Why don't you get married too?""Forget it, forget it. I'm scared." Ryan laughed heartily. It was clear that he and Dawson had a genuinely close relationship.Dawson walked over expressionlessly and sat down.Ryan handed him a glass of wine, and Dawson took a small sip."How was it?""It was fine.""If you say it's fine, then that means it's really something. Go on, ask your boss to bring over another ten bottles."Ryan was outgoing and well-connected in elite circles. He changed girlfriends faster than he changed clothes."Hey, where is your newlywed wife? Why didn't you bring her?" He suddenly remembered."At the old house.""Tsk, you should have brought her for us to see. I'm really curious to see what kind of woman the Gregory family set you up with. Haha.""There's nothing much to see, just a nose and two eyes," Dawson re

"How can that be?""Mr. Mercer is handsome and charming. A fine specimen.""It is not surprising for a woman to show you her affection, especially when she is your secretary.""Why does that sound a little off to me?" Dawson narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Lorraine."Whether it sounds off or not doesn't change the fact that it's true.""Mr. Mercer, don't misunderstand. What I mean is, since you have a close female friend, we should stay out of each other's way.""What do you mean? We should have an open relationship?" Dawson suddenly leaned in, and Lorraine instinctively backed away."Mr. Mercer, you don't need to speak so harshly. You are also an intelligent person. I don't care about what you do outside, but please keep your distance from me. I don't like any physical contact. Is that clear enough?""Quite virtuous, aren't you?" Dawson said with amusement."But, of course," Lorraine retorted.Dawson chuckled and said, "Don't worry. You've saved my life, after all. I won't treat you

But Sienna was clearly their guest as a couple—especially Lorraine's—so she couldn't avoid her.The other members of the Mercer family were not familiar with Sienna. Even Lidya, Dawson's mom, had only seen her a few times at parties.When Lorraine went downstairs, she thought to herself, "It's a good thing that Helena and Baron have both left."Otherwise, who knew how lively things would have been?"Raine."Upon seeing Lorraine, Sienna immediately walked over and embraced her affectionately.To be honest, Lorraine was very uncomfortable because it felt too fake.Sienna put down the gift in her hand and said, "Mom told me to come visit you.""Oh, okay," Lorraine responded indifferently."Mom said this is tradition. Since we got married on the same day, it's fate.""Where's Dawson?" she immediately asked, unable to contain her excitement."He's upstairs.""Speaking of which, I haven't seen your new home yet. Mind giving me a tour?"Sienna said this with an innocent look on her face.She

Sienna never expected that she would be subjected to domestic violence just a few days after getting married.She was the most beautiful woman in Amber City, but Peter showed her no mercy.Peter had already drunk a lot, and on top of that, there was the insulting phone call from Dawson.The sight of Sienna ignited Peter's fury once again when he went to pick her up from the Gregory family.He heard Sienna and Caleb's conversations clearly."Dawson used to be your husband?" Peter pulled off his tie and questioned. He reeked of alcohol.Sienna suddenly became frightened. It seemed that he had really heard everything."Peter, let me explain...""Explain what? You cheap whore, I'll beat you to death!"Enraged, Peter swung his fist at Sienna, who had already fallen to the ground.Unlike Lorraine and Dawson, Peter and Sienna lived in a separate villa after their marriage.So, no matter how much Sienna cried and screamed, no one dared to step in to stop the beating.Even the maid was so scar

"Mr. Mercer, there is no need for you to take it personally.""Hehe, you sure know how to shift the blame.""I'm not someone who stirs up trouble, I just instinctively protect myself. If I don't shift the blame, who knows what kind of accusation Mr. Mercer might pin on me next time? I'm just a helpless orphan; I can't bear that kind of burden.""An orphan wouldn't be as sharp-tongued as you, never suffering a single loss."Lorraine no longer intended to continue arguing, it was very boring.So, she simply reached out her hand and turned off the lights...The bedroom instantly became pitch black."Who said you could turn off the lights?" Dawson was somewhat annoyed."If you think it's too bright, you can go to the study.""This is my bedroom, Lorraine," Dawson sneered."Half of it belongs to me now. How about this, you get two bedside lamps tomorrow, one on each side? I'll turn off mine, you keep yours on. We won't interfere with each other that way."Dawson was stunned into silence.D

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
