"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
Because of Marcel, Liam hadn't been intimate with Lana for quite some time. Today, Lana took the initiative to seduce him. As a normal young man deeply in love, how could he resist his lover?In the car, Liam was embracing Lana, in a rush to love her. Lana was taken by surprise. But with the confined space of the car, combined with Liam's towering stature, it was impossible for her to push him away no matter how hard she tried.What was he planning to do in broad daylight? Moreover, it was the end of the day at work, with several of Liam's employees passing by outside. His audacity was beyond belief, not to mention ...Smelling her unique fragrance, Liam found it hard to control himself. His fingers swiftly undid the buttons of his suit. His large hands, carrying an intense warmth, continued to roam over her body."Ah, Cherry, hurry up and come to the headquarters to pick me up. Hurry up, or I might be blinded by these two lovers."Violet felt that if she didn't speak up, Liam
Lana spent almost an hour waiting for them to finish that round of chess. In the end, Marcel won the round by a hair's breadth. Marcel had not once lost a game of chess in his life. This was the first time someone had almost beat him in the game. Moreover, he could tell that Liam had intended for him to win the game just now. Liam even managed to let him win without losing too much on his side. Marcel could tell how bright and quick-witted Liam was throughout the game. It completely changed his initial perception of Liam. Lana was oblivious to any of that as she led Liam and Marcel to the dining room. Marcel was so engrossed in the game earlier that he finally realized he was already feeling hungry. However, his smile froze when he saw the dishes on the table. He scrunched his face.Beef steak with truffle oil drizzle, beef meatballs, beef bolognese … Every dish on the table consisted of beef. Marcel scoffed. "Have you slaughtered all the cows in this city?" Lana smi
On the day they had lost the ownership of their fourth subsidiary company to the Garrison family, Emilia came home and overheard the sounds of Danny laughing coming from the living room. "Howard, you're so smart and knowledgeable. Even Emilia would sometimes find it difficult to answer these topics. "Yet, not only were you aware of these issues, but you could also make a thorough analysis of them. You're a very impressive young man."Alex said proudly, "You're spot on, Grandpa. After all, he's the most famous model student of all time in our school. "Back then, one of our teachers had to be away for a month on sick leave. This guy taught the rest of us history lessons for that entire month. It was unprecedented."Howard frowned slightly. "You need to stop exaggerating, Alex. Learning is a lifelong process. In front of someone like Grandpa Danny, a young and inexperienced man like me could only say so much about what I know." Danny let out a hearty laugh. "It would be great if
"Don't worry. I'll have those people return everything they've received from your family soon. You should just forget that we were ever engaged." Emilia had made it clear what she wanted. On the other hand, Howard still appeared calm and collected. However, there was no longer any hint of politeness in his voice. "Those people? You're truly stone-hearted." Emilia jutted her chin. "Have you forgotten that I'm now the Watson family's successor? I've even changed my last name. Should I still be keeping in touch with those people now?" "If I'm not mistaken, you've only been acknowledged as the successor by Mr. Watson Senior verbally. You're still far from being confirmed as the legal successor of the Watson family." After saying that, Howard walked over to his car and got in. Then, he drove off without sparing Emilia another glance. Howard knew all along how Emilia had always thought he was unworthy of becoming her fiancé. Still, he had no choice but to try to win her favor
With her experience in life, Violet could instantly tell what Emilia was trying to do. Her eyes bulged with shock upon hearing Emilia's words. Violet said in a raised voice, "What on earth is wrong with you, young lady?" She continued, "Haven't I told you last time that I already have grandchildren? You're not my granddaughter. So, please don't call me 'Grandma.' That's not very appropriate." Emilia came prepared. After getting scolded by Violet, Emilia pointed to Lana. "I heard Ms. Clark calling you grandma just now. However, she's not your granddaughter either." Violet scoffed. "Who do you think you are? How could you even think of comparing yourself to Lana? Our family acknowledges Lana as our future granddaughter-in-law while you're a nobody." Emilia's expression hardened as she listened to Violet's harsh remarks. "Also, we're not close, and I don't plan on getting close to you. You should spend your time on something more useful. We don't welcome you here." Violet ha
Darla poured a glass of orange juice personally for Emilia.Emilia teared up as she stared at the glass."Darla, do you think I'm shameless too?"Darla paused after hearing this. "I don't think so. Manners maketh man.""But Grandma clearly thinks so. She doesn't like me," Emilia replied.Darla smiled. "Grandma never judges anyone the moment she first meets them. In life, we can't make everyone like us. "But before we point fingers and blame others, maybe we should reflect on whether we did something wrong to cause others to dislike us."Darla's words were quite tactful. There was no harsh bone in her body, and she understood how hard it was for the woman to go to such lengths for someone she liked.But the root of the problem wasn't because Violet didn't like Emilia. From the very beginning, Liam had never liked Emilia.She couldn't understand why Emilia was still persisting."I know I've made a mistake from the start. I shouldn't have treated Grandma that way!" Emilia said.
Emilia failed to regain the trust of the subsidiary and the Kanes.Danny approached her again after she reached home, questioning why she couldn't save the fourth subsidiary. These days, Emilia was exhausted. The high-intensity work, Danny's endless questioning, and even being scolded by the popular celebrity John—all left her feeling disappointed."Grandpa, how can it be so easy to stop Liam's plans once it starts? I haven't stopped trying, either. Haven't you noticed that Garrison Shipping has also encountered some problems recently?"Do you think I'll let Liam off the hook when he won't do the same to us?" she asked.Danny's expression remained unchanged even after listening to Emilia's explanation."I don't want you two to keep clashing like this. I don't want the Watsons' century-old legacy to be ruined in my hands," he warned."Then what do you want me to do?" Emilia asked in frustration.Nothing Emilia did was acceptable. She no longer knew how to satisfy him."How a
