Emilia fell seriously ill and was currently hospitalized. She immediately stopped working and delegated all her work to Danny. Danny had lived free of responsibilities for many years, so he immediately expressed displeasure with the sudden workload. However, he still felt sorry for Emilia.After experiencing the workload firsthand, he realized that Emilia's daily tasks were overwhelming. If someone accustomed to high-intensity work like him couldn't handle it, how could a young woman like Emilia endure it?So Danny directed all the pent-up frustration towards the Garrisons, declaring that they were to blame for Emilia's condition. He insisted that the Garrisons owed the Watsons an explanation. "That Garrison kid made the Watson girl sick. It was truly despicable. What grudge could there be?""Didn't you hear? In less than a month, the Garrisons took over two of the Watsons' most profitable subsidiaries. It was like they were trying to annihilate them!""The relationship betwe
After deciding to go, Emilia arrived at the Garrison Villa at 11:00 pm. Hector told Liam that he shouldn't have opened the door for her. However, since Liam let Emilia in, Hector also had to be present. Otherwise, he would worry about Emilia having ill intentions toward Liam.Even Freya's newborn son, who had just turned a month old, was in the living room glaring at Emilia.He was dressed in a ninja cosplay outfit while carrying a milk bottle.With this setup, Emilia immediately realized she was not welcome."Grandpa Hector, Liam, Ms. Garrison, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late."Hector snorted coldly. "So, now you know it's inconvenient? Then why did you come?"Emilia fell silent.Could this person speak without being so harsh? But she never expected that even more unpleasant words were yet to come.Freya also stood in front of her intimidatingly, even though she was a year younger than Emilia. "Emilia, you shouldn't force your way into getting what you want. Can't y
Seeing Emilia answer a phone call and hastily run off, Hector sneered. "See, retribution has come!"Beside him, Freya, holding her son, asked, "Dad, how do you know she's facing retribution?"Hector explained confidently, "She always carries herself like she's superior. When have you ever seen her look so flustered and anxious? If I'm not mistaken, something must have happened."Liam had no comment.Emilia, who had just spoken so confidently with them, should have left with her head held high. There was no reason for her to suddenly look so panicked. Something must have gone wrong.Indeed, trouble had befallen the Watson family. It was big trouble.Just days after the hype of Emilia's collaboration with the National Aerospace Corporation, the corporation decided to terminate their cooperation and demanded compensation for breach of contract.Emilia didn't even return home. She rushed back to the company for an urgent meeting with the top executives.At this hour, a time when ev
"Are you really going to watch me die a miserable death in front of you?" Norman asked uncertainly.Matthew waved his hand dismissively. "Someone who wants to die wouldn't waste so much time talking. Clearly, you don't really want to die."Norman fell silent.Isn't this obvious? Who would want to die for no reason? If he hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, he wouldn't have chosen such a dramatic way to pressure Matthew."See!" Matthew shook his head. "You're hesitating again!"Norman really felt completely defeated by him today.Seeing that his emotions had stabilized, Matthew asked, "What happened exactly?"Norman threw the knife aside and slumped into a chair, his head hung. "Mr. Miller, please, you must help me!"Seeing this, Matthew immediately dispersed the onlookers. However, Lana volunteered to stay.Norman had been the focus of Lana's attention recently. Since the last incident where a product designed by Matthew was stolen, Lana suspected it was related
Matthew discovered that Norman had secretly accessed his accounts, stolen the designs, and used them successfully in the new product development at Emilia's company. After finding out, Matthew discreetly made some changes to the design, which Norman overlooked. Norman continued to use the altered design, resulting in serious flaws in the products entering the production phase, rendering all previous investments useless. The National Aerospace Corporation was not a charity. Moreover, Matthew had already informed a previous colleague about the situation. After detecting the issues, they decided to terminate the collaboration and sue the Watson family for compensation.Norman was honest with Matthew and Lana. He revealed the whole truth about his actions and expressed concern that the vengeful Emilia might harm his child. Matthew initially prepared to retaliate against Norman. However, he found himself unable to proceed upon hearing about Norman's worry for his child."Lana, w
"Hey Howard, I noticed your glasses are quite dark. You actually think I'm the playboy type?"Howard took a sip of his drink but didn't say anything, only smiling.Howard and Alex had been childhood friends since kindergarten. Alex had been charming since then.In high school, with his outstanding looks and a good family background, Alex changed girlfriends every three days. Despite his heartlessness, women continued to flock to him, earning him the nickname "Vitiligo".As an adult, Alex's love life became more wild. From A-list actresses to car models, as long as they offered themselves, Alex accepted. Perhaps due to his dissolute lifestyle, his family didn't place any hope in him. To avoid seeing him lead a debauched life, his grandfather sent him abroad for studies, turning a blind eye.Now, after three full years, Alex had returned. He was putting on an act again, claiming that this time, his grandfather had asked him to return. Howard didn't believe a word of it."Hey,
Alex, known for his playboy reputation, had girlfriends everywhere. Fortunately, he was generous in his relationships, and none of his ex-girlfriends spoke ill of him. Moreover, he was exceptionally gentlemanly and especially considerate toward girls. Combined with his handsome appearance, almost no girl could resist liking him.So, when it was known that Alex was returning to participate in the company's operations, all the girls at the headquarters eagerly awaited his arrival. Today was the day Alex returned. Almost all the girls at the headquarters had meticulously dressed up for work, aiming to catch Alex's attention.Alex was fully aware of the girls' intentions. He spared no effort in complimenting them, earning positive reviews from all the girls. However, his gentlemanly demeanor had no effect on Emilia. Instead, she considered it evidence of his playboy lifestyle."Come on, your brother has finally made a trip back to the country. It's fine if you don't warmly wel
"What?" Emilia was greatly surprised. "Are you saying he completed all those tasks by himself?""I'm telling the truth, Ms. Watson."Wayne's answer left Emilia even more puzzled. Alex wasn't the type of person who loved working, right? Since when did he become so obedient and diligent?Emilia instructed Wayne to continue working and supervising Alex. Meanwhile, she fell into contemplation. Alex becoming so proactive explained why even Danny praised him last night and even gifted him a discontinued car that Alex had been eyeing for a long time. It seemed she needed to prepare well. Otherwise, at this rate, the company might eventually return to Alex's hands.…"Ms. Garrison, your skin has been getting better and better recently. If you keep this up, I believe you'll be the most beautiful bride in the world at your wedding."Freya lay on the massage bed and smiled ear to ear at the masseur's compliments. Her wedding with Sawyer was already set for the fifteenth night of the
