Liam's unsightly expression seemed to confirm Lana's thoughts.Liam couldn't bring himself to say it, so Lana kindly helped him."What's wrong? I thought Ms. Watson had asked for your hand in marriage."Liam was stunned for a moment. "So you knew all along?"Lana put on a proud grin and said, "Liam, Emilia not only wears her ambitions on her sleeve but also her affection for you. Can't you tell?"He really couldn't tell! Liam had only cared about Lana all this while. So, he didn't even have the time and energy to waste on other women."I really didn't realize I was so well-liked," Liam said with a hint of resentment. "I really didn't do anything. Who knows how she ended up liking me!" Lana could tell from Liam's explanation that he was upset about Emilia's attraction toward him.If he had known that Emilia had ulterior motives for approaching him, Liam would never have agreed to meet or discuss business deals with her.Upon hearing this, Lana suddenly turned and wrapped her
Upon hearing this, Marcel Stetson lightly tapped Lana on the head with his cane."Why are you so late?"Liam was taken aback. Marcel was not only dressed like an elderly gentleman, but even his mannerism was like one.Lana felt inexplicably guilty in front of Marcel, and she stuttered as she said, "Be … because there was a traffic jam."Liam was rendered speechless.The road was clear on the way here. How could she blatantly make things up?"Traffic jam?" Marcel asked, clearly not understanding what it meant."Is it some kind of new bread spread?"Liam was once again taken aback. Did this person really come from the olden days?Lana explained, "No, it's not. It's just that there were too many cars on the road, so it took us longer to reach."Although Marcel didn't fully understand what Lana was saying, he still nodded and said, "Let's go! I'm exhausted.""Got it!" Lana said, immediately stepping forward to help Marcel with his suitcase.At that moment, a large hand reached
"You've gone too far this time, Hector!"Danny was so infuriated that he rushed up to Hector, ready to throw a punch.Fortunately, there were other people present to hold him back. They were already so old, but they almost started a brawl."You're not afraid of doing it, but you're afraid of being called out?" Hector sneered.Ever since Lana's research was stolen by Emilia, she was forced to face scrutinizing criticisms. Hector was deeply troubled by it. Since then, he had been hoping for a chance to settle the score with the Watsons.Now that they had unexpectedly delivered themselves to him on a silver platter, he wasn't going to let them off the hook."You're lucky enough to secure the bid by piecing together other people's hard work. I wonder, were all your previous successes also obtained through such dishonest means? Profiting through such unethical means, doesn't it weigh on your conscience?""Enough of your blathering!" Danny, who was being held back, couldn't help but r
"Mr. Miller, have you got wind of something?" one of the staff asked. Matthew smiled. "There are no secrets in this world, and some things aren't as straightforward as they seem. Trust me. Focus on your work, and time will bring us a satisfying outcome."Matthew's words were like a guiding light. Not only did they calm the employees' emotions, but they also piqued Lana's curiosity. After the meeting, Lana followed Matthew to his office. She asked curiously, "Mr. Miller, was what you just said true?" Matthew calmly responded, "Lana, when have I ever lied to you? Just wait and see." Since it was Matthew who said it, Lana believed him! She believed that complete trust was the only way to receive sincere treatment from the other person. Having dealt with the employees, Lana remembered she had something important to do.An elderly man recently moved into her home, and he was dissatisfied with yesterday's meals. He threatened to burn Lana's apartment down if he didn't get a prope
"Don't you think you're being overly nosy?" Marcel's presence was overpowering, causing the atmosphere in the room to become tense. "Who gives you the right to arrange matters for me?" Terrified, Nicholas's legs gave way, and he knelt directly. "Marcel, I apologize. I shouldn't have interfered in your life." As soon as Nicholas finished speaking, Marcel made a slight movement with his finger. The next second, Nicholas let out a cry of distress. Lana and Jennifer watched in astonishment as an unexplainable rash appeared on Nicholas's handsome face. It was painful and itchy, but he dared not make a move in front of Marcel. They couldn't fathom why Marcel was behaving this way again. In the past, whenever they upset Marcel, he would always use various strange methods to torment them.Although the methods seemed cruel, they never caused substantial harm, which was why they managed to survive until now. They were well aware of Marcel's abilities and knew that he hadn't been rut
After a pause, Emilia explained, "Grandpa, don't listen to those people. If there were truly issues with my product, would the National Aerospace Corporation still choose to collaborate with me?" Danny thought there was some logic in what she said. However, he still spoke cautiously. "There are certain matters you must manage well. The position our family holds today is all because of the efforts of our ancestors. We should be dignified individuals, not crafty opportunists."Emilia smiled in acknowledgment. Just as she was about to say something to Danny, her assistant found her in a nervous state. "Ms. Watson, there's trouble at the company. The four major—" Emilia didn't give her assistant a chance to finish the sentence. She grabbed her and left Watson Residence, heading toward the company. "Alright, let's talk as we walk." Seeing her professional and cautious attitude, Danny felt the rumors outside were baseless. Emilia, being so outstanding, couldn't possibly steal other
Lana brought Marcel to the small château where Mandy and Romelius currently reside to diagnose Mandy's condition. Before setting off, Lana had already informed Mandy and Romelius about the visitor's identity, a mentor who had raised her and taught her many things. In light of this, both of them were extremely anxious. They felt the need to warmly welcome Lana's mentor and repay the favor of nurturing their daughter. Mandy quickly arranged for the delivery of many soft pastries that elderly people enjoy. Romelius even took the initiative to inquire about Marcel's preferences. Upon hearing Lana mention his liking for suits and vests, Romelius promptly had several sets of elegant vests. They were all tailor-made, and he planned to personally give them to Marcel later. The couple waited anxiously, hoping for the arrival of their beloved daughter. After all, with the recent significant events in Lana's company and her already hectic schedule, it had been nearly two weeks since
True to his word, Marcel started examining Mandy's pulse as Lana requested. After a while, he finally put down Mandy's hand. "You've recovered almost completely. The only thing left is to maintain and nurture your body. If you ensure ample rest and stick to a light diet, you'll be back to normal in less than two years." Marcel's diagnosis was, in fact, quite similar to Lana's assessment. Her skills were learned from Marcel, after all. Now that she heard him say it himself, Lana felt more reassured. 'I'll give you a prescription. Just follow the instructions I give you, and your body will recover even faster," Marcel said. Lana then magically took out a pen and paper from her bag for Marcel to write a prescription for Mandy. Holding the prescription, Romelius was excited. He exclaimed, "Mr. Stetson, thank you so much. I'll definitely take care of her following your instructions." Hearing that, Marcel glanced at him casually. "You should be the one being taken care of, and
