Lorraine didn't hurry to get up, but instead pointed at the pile of snow next to her and lowered her voice, saying, "Look quickly."

Dawson turned his head and, upon seeing clearly, was greatly shocked.

The snake that looked extremely cute just now has now changed its color.

Not only was it no longer colorful, but its entire body was unexpectedly black and golden.

And at that moment, that little thing had its mouth wide open, showing its fangs, looking extremely ferocious.

Although it is not big in size, being bitten by it can have unimaginable consequences.

"Would it actually change color?" Dawson was shocked.

"These are not the focus, the focus is that he was highly toxic."

"Just as I was about to take a bite out of you, the Mercer's mansion was about to host a full-scale banquet."

Dawson: ...

"How much do you hate me? You wish I were dead?" Dawson's face darkened.

"Do you have a conscience? Is this something a human would say? I hate you? I hate you, I shouldn't have rushed back to

    "What? What do you mean? I wasn't joking," Agnes stared at her grandson."But Grandma, didn't you quite like her?""I liked it, but what's the use? It's not like it's going to live with me.""Your wife, she had to be someone you liked.""You just listed a bunch of faults about someone. Since you dislike them so much, what's the point of putting up with it?""Grandma, were you planning to drive her away?"I don't know what's going on, but whenever Dawson mentioned that Lorraine was going to be kicked out and that she was going to leave this home, his heart inexplicably became a little anxious."It was not to the extent of driving them away.""But I wanted to adopt her as my own granddaughter, to see if there was a suitable man, and then find one for her."Dawson: ..."Grandma, what kind of thought process is this?""My train of thought is, don't hog the toilet without using it, don't occupy someone else's child in their prime youth, yet indulge in eating and drinking outside every day,

    "Grandma would buy it anyway, anyway it's all my family's money," Dawson said nonchalantly."Did you ever consider how I felt inside?"Every time this happened, Lorraine felt that she and Dawson were simply not on the same page.His own feelings, his own situation, he wouldn't consider at all.He would only act like a grandpa, making decisions on his own that he thought were right."Grandma is already so old, and I asked her for a car, what am I thinking? What do you take me for?" Lorraine felt ashamed and embarrassed.In the Gregory family, there was never a person who had actively asked for a new piece of clothing in the past four years.Today, Lorraine was being held by Dawson to go and ask Agnes for a car, which she found unacceptable."I treated you as my wife."Otherwise, do you think I would be idle, buying cars for strangers on the street? Do I have so much money to spend?"But speaking of which, I treated you like a daughter-in-law, and you treated me like a husband, right? Y

    "What are you calculating again?" Lorraine asked directly."Huh." Caleb laughed out loud."I knew you wouldn't believe me, but what I said was true. You don't think I gave you a gift with an ulterior motive, do you?""No, I couldn't, but I have already managed to get the money.""And within a month, I would have multiplied it by more than ten times.""When the time comes, the Gregory family will return to its former glory, and I, Caleb, will no longer be short of money."Caleb was living in his own woven dream and couldn't extricate himself, while Lorraine opened the car door to leave."Raine, wait a moment.""Take the gift, it was bought for you, it suits you very well, I think.""No need.""Are you afraid that Dawson would trouble you?" Caleb asked."No, it was simply that I didn't want your things.""Raine, you and Dawson were never meant to last. The Mercer family wouldn't have kept you for long, and eventually, you would have been kicked out and left with nothing. You would have

    Lorraine quietly replied, "Actually, in a way, I helped you keep the secret.""How do I know if you would remain conservative for a lifetime? Or if you would occasionally bring it up in the future to threaten me? You know, this feeling is like a time bomb, it makes me very uneasy. I don't like leaving myself any hidden dangers," Leila said, while playing with her pink lambskin gloves, every movement looking so casual."But I didn't intend to threaten you," Lorraine said honestly."You don't know now, but it doesn't mean you won't know in the future. People's hearts can change, right?" Leila raised her head and smiled."Since you have made up your mind to kill, there is no point in me saying more." Lorraine sighed slightly, indicating that the conversation was unpleasant."But I thought, you might not necessarily succeed," Lorraine chuckled again."How would you know if you don't try?" Leila said, as she slowly took off both gloves.The atmosphere was actually tense, at this moment, Lo

    "What are you afraid of?""Scared of being burdened by me, after all, this matter was my responsibility.""If I were afraid, I wouldn't say it like this.""I was also alone, and I was often bullied, so I can understand your situation. Of course, if you are willing to consider me as a friend, you can find me to accompany you, it's nothing."Lorraine felt that Leila not only lost her desire to kill, but also could take her out for noodles.In fact, the relationship between the two can be described as friends.Although the process of getting to know each other was a bit strange, Lorraine felt that Leila was more suitable to be friends with than Natasha and Keely. Firstly, they had some similarities in terms of personality."Why were you willing to be friends with me?" Leila asked in a low voice."Because you, like me, were both weirdos, misfits."Leila was stunned for several seconds before she couldn't help but laugh.When she smiled, there were small dimples on both sides of her cheeks

    The little girl was quite clever and knew how to use conditions to make exchanges.Lorraine couldn't help but laugh and cry, "No need, no need, I'll help you catch it.""I'll go and look." Lorraine entered the room, changed her clothes, and without even washing her hands, she started searching for the cat with Jenna."Jenna liked her sister-in-law, it was truly rare," Agnes exclaimed.Annabelle smirked, "Jenna, this child, would just get close to anyone, no matter who they are.""How is Jenna's recent physical recovery?" Dawson sat down on the couch, wearing a white shirt."There was nothing wrong, just occasionally coughing a few times," Annabelle replied.Dawson did indeed despise Helena and Baron, but he had no resentment towards the children of both families.After all, they were all flesh and blood of the Mercer family, especially when it came to Jenna, Dawson sometimes genuinely listened and cared from the bottom of his heart.Lorraine and Jenna searched up and down the Mercer's

    Agnes was the first to speak, "Being pregnant is a good thing, isn't it?""I saw many people saying that, during the early stages of pregnancy, if you have low blood sugar, you will faint," Annabelle doubted. True to her background as an actress, she seemed to enjoy dramatizing things."If she gets pregnant, we can't let this girl go to school anymore. We have to take good care of her." These were the words spoken by Dawson's father."Big brother, you guys are really tolerant, letting her go to school?""Is someone who has never read a book really considered a college student just because they have enrolled in university? Absurd," Helena mocked."Big brother, after you retired, you became confused, who is more important and who is less important?" Baron also followed with mockery."Let Raine go to school, that's what I meant. Who are you saying this to? Talking about what your eldest brother did?"Agnes was not happy, knowing that Helena and Baron were intentionally teasing Frank.Fra

    "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing.""Caleb also visited Mrs. Mercer, went to Mrs. Mercer's school, and even bought something for Mrs. Mercer...""That's enough, I don't want to hear it," Dawson impatiently waved his hand."Don't tell me about her affairs anymore, what does it have to do with me?" Dawson was known for being stubborn.His subordinates were also confused, thinking, "Didn't you order us to report any updates at any time?"What exactly is going on now?After hanging up the phone, Dawson also lost the desire to take a shower.After thinking it over, I decided to drive back to the hospital.In the ward"Did you come today, just to see me?" Lorraine still couldn't believe it, mainly because she didn't feel like she had a deep connection with Jaden.Nowadays, people came to visit with flowers, and it always felt strange.Jaden was such a clever person that when Lorraine asked him this question, he just went with the flow."Actually, visiting the patient was secondary, t

    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
