Mason gave her a look before pulling out a bathrobe from the wardrobe. He said dryly, “I sincerely hope you can do a good job! My wife used to grumble that I’m very picky and that it was hard trying to please me.”Zoe couldn’t help but ask, “Are you and your wife close, Mr. Mason?” Then, she immediately regretted asking about it. As expected, his face turned cold at once. “That’s none of your concern!”Zoe felt mortified. She felt as humiliated as the time she was at the motel, but she needed the job. So, she had to take all of the insulting and miserable moments that came with it.Opening the wardrobe, she picked out a suitable outfit for him. He’d be attending a formal meeting. So, she picked a deep gray, hand-tailored suit and a light blue shirt to go with it.Faint steam rose in the air when she was ironing them. The smell was familiar. In fact, everything she was doing in there felt like déjà vu to her. It felt as if she had been doing this countless times in a faraway dre

Zoe wasn’t a fool. She knew what he meant. Mason wanted her to be his mistress.If she slept with him and succumbed to his carnal pleasure, then he’d shower her with piles of cash. She didn’t even need to work twelve hours a day to attain a wealthy and comfortable life. However, that wasn’t the life she wanted for herself.She said in a trembling voice, “I had a husband and kids. They’re lost to me now, but I’m searching for them! You’re extremely attractive and wealthy, Mr. Mason. You could get your hands on any kind of lady. It’s different for me, though. My family is all I’ve got. That’s why I can’t have any complicated relationships with you, Mr. Mason.”His eyes grew darker at that. All of a sudden, he bent over and carried her up to the glass shelf with one hand. The cooling sensation from the glass startled her a little. Before she knew what was happening, he lifted her clothes with another hand, revealing her black bra beneath her white shirt.Shifting his gaze below

Sitting on a small desk, she ate her supper and flipped through a newspaper that was clearly worn and torn a long time ago. She spent a couple of hundred dollars on the missing person column at the center of the page.“Please contact Zoe Sanders if you have any clues or information regarding her missing family.”It was a small piece, but it symbolized her hope of reuniting with her family. She saved up for a long time before she could afford it, but it had been many days since it was posted up and no one had called her.Nobody found her!Her family didn’t see the small piece in the newspaper!She was reading it quietly and, before she knew it, fell into a trance. She had lost her memories. If she lost her hope as well, then she was no different from a shambling corpse. Life would feel depressing and pointless.…Zoe got downstairs at half past six in the morning. Luke was already waiting for her there.He opened the door for her. Again, she wasn’t a fool. So, she asked at onc

After that, Mason was very cold to Zoe. He seemed to be busy with work too. She continued to work as his personal assistant and complete house chores in his manor in the morning and after work. Sometimes, she even had to pick up Yanni from school and help her with her homework. The little girl still called her Alice, but she’d also invited her for afternoon tea. Yanni asked her servant to make them Earl Grey tea. She told Zoe that this was her mom’s favorite brand and that she had to try it.Zoe tried it and it did taste very good. Yanni’s mom clearly had some good taste.She had never dared to ask about Mason’s wife. After all, she was just his personal assistant. It wasn’t her place to ask about his private life. However, that didn’t mean Yanni wouldn’t tell her from time to time. The little girl told her all about her mom’s quirky habits, favorite outfits, and more. There was one point she even said to her, “Actually, you look a little like my mom, Alice! If you climb onto m

Mason didn’t respond to her. Instead, he headed straight for the stairs. It was raining. So, the clouds have obscured the moon tonight. The stairs were fairly new, but it had been a long time since it had undergone maintenance. Everything looked shoddy and in need of repair. Zoe felt a little embarrassed as she led him upstairs and opened the door to her apartment, revealing her cramped living room. It might’ve been a small apartment, but she kept it tidy. Above the deep-colored desk was a vase with a rose in it. It looked exceptionally delicate, reminiscent of its mistress’s hopes for her future. Despite being in her place, she felt a little uneasy. She said softly, “Take off your overcoat, I have a heater here. It’ll help dry your coat.”He did what she said and handed it to her while staring at her profoundly. Pursing her lips, she took his overcoat and went away to dry it. Then, she headed into the kitchen to make him some herbal tea. Meanwhile, he sat by the desk. Tha

Trapped in his embrace, Zoe wasn’t sure what to do. He had done so much to her body that she felt conflicted. There was something hidden in her body. She wasn’t exactly sure what it was, but it scared her a lot. It was something she couldn’t admit because it’d be too embarrassing to.She was a healthy lady and she had her needs too. What was worse, the man before her was so stunning and dangerous, in a manner of speaking. She did want to brush him off, but she’d be lying if she denied that she really wanted to do unspeakable things with him at that moment.All it took was a second to free the lady from her inhibitions. He understood this tactic very well. So, he began to grope at her sensually once more. She involuntarily let out a yelp and cried out, “No! I don’t want to do it! Please let me go, Mr. Mason…”The next thing he knew, she was cupping her face and crying. She didn’t even try to cover herself. Instead, she just sat underneath the dim light. There was even a small puddl

Zoe didn’t want to fall into it.Running into her bedroom, she picked up a stack of missing person posters and raced downstairs without putting on a coat. She ran all the way to the streets and started putting them up all over stores. “Please contact Zoe Sanders if you have any clues or information regarding her missing family.”It was raining and she was putting them up like a maniac, as if she could drive Mason out of her mind if she would just keep doing it. However, none of it did anything. She stood in the rain, feeling lost and confused. She couldn’t recall her past, no matter how hard she tried. It was a lost cause.A black Rolls-Royce was parked by the side of a road far away from her. The wipers kept swishing left and right, blurring everything in the car. The man lit a cigarette. There was a red glow at the lit end of it that rose and fell as he smoked. He was looking at her quietly, taking in the look on her face.Eventually, their eyes met each other. Zoe’s fa

Zoe said stubbornly, “That’s none of my concern!”Yanni feigned surprise, “Really? I’ve seen you stealing glances at my dad several times! I dislike people who wouldn’t own up to their feelings, Alice!”Before she could retort, Mason knocked on the coffee table a couple of times and said, “Keep working on your French with Zoe.” With that, he left the study. The door closed, but Zoe could still hear him relaying orders to his servants. He wanted Layla to bring Ramona to the guest room and make her her favorite coffee. He also asked another servant to change the flowers in there to roses because Ramona was allergic to lilies.He was so considerate that it pained Zoe to hear him. He must’ve had real feelings for Ramona, unlike the way he had treated her. Perhaps someone like her was nothing but a plaything, as far as he was concerned. She was feeling sorry for herself when Yanni leaned into her ear and whispered, “Feeling bad, huh? If you won’t climb onto my dad’s bed, plenty of

The wedding banquet was still bustling with excitement.There was a special guest, who quietly arrived and hoped to leave just as quietly.

However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone.

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight bathed the earth, signaling a joyous occasion at the Sanders family home. The youngest daughter of Noah and Gwynn was finally getting married. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyone’s surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. “Don't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?”Mason didn’t engage with his criticism.

That night, Jamie and Paityn returned home with their daughter Carol. As soon as they arrived, Carol went to do her homework, while Paityn went to check on their youngest son, Colten Lockwood. The housekeeper was taking care of him and, upon hearing footsteps, turned her head and softly said, "Madam, you're back? He hasn't woken up at all, he's such a good boy."Paityn smiled lightly and signaled for the housekeeper to go downstairs and rest.When the door closed, she looked down at the sleeping Colten. The little one, only eight months old, resembled his father completely; almost like a miniature copy of Jamie. Even Carol, at times, would look at her brother’s face and marvel: "It’s really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husband’s looks are the wife’s glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, “She must have seen a supermodel runway show."Jamie immediately asked, "Did she like it?"Paityn didn't answer, just smiled.

On the second floor, Gwen was trying on her wedding dress for tomorrow. Just as Zion had wished, it was a traditional Zutriysteinian wedding.The red wedding gown was crafted by the top artisans from Zutriystein, elegant and dignified. The headpiece she wore was adorned with wild pearls; each gem was carefully embedded, and the headpiece alone cost tens of millions. A substantial amount of money had been spent.The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. Gwen gently touched her headpiece and muttered to herself, "Zion really doesn’t mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesn’t know when to keep quiet, but luckily, she’s married well and is right here beside me..."She had given a generous wedding gift, exactly the same as when Holly got married. Like Holly, Gwen didn’t want any shares of the Sanders Group. The money that Zion earned was enough to support both of them and his small hobbies.Meanwhile

Ignacio said, "We can’t take care of both of you."Holly was at a loss for words.Lucius was at that lively age, but he was raised by his father and had good manners. When he saw Ocelotte, he respectfully greeted him, saying, "Second Uncle."Ocelotte patted his little head, thinking that the boy seemed sturdier than his own children, possibly because Molly was too fragile. He made a mental note to make sure Yeager got some extra nutrients when he went back.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the highway, getting them back to the Qiao family mansion before evening.The Sanders family’s sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didn’t refuse, planning to stay for a few days before heading to Silvercrest to visit her biological parents and pay respects.The car pulled into the Sanders Residence, and the house was lit up brightly.In the courtyard parking area, luxury cars were parked everywhe

In the evening, Gwen was preparing to leave work.In the parking lot, she spotted Zion’s car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, “Zion came to school. There’s a donation ceremony happening in the auditorium. You should go check it out. "Then, you two can head home together afterward. On a cold day like this, a nice dinner would be perfect. What a cozy idea!”Gwen playfully replied, “You really know how to enjoy life.”The leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, “See? Your teacher’s wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.”Gwen smiled softly, watching him leave.In the sky, clouds glowed orange and yellow, their edges tinged with gold.She carried a thermos as she walked toward the auditorium. Along the way, a few students noticed her and started chirping excitedly, cheekily calling her “Ms. Gwen.”Gwen corrected them, “It’s Ms. Gwen.”The students laughed and teased, “Ms. Gwen! Mr. Z

Gwen stared dazedly at the man.Zion, dressed in a black coat, stood tall in the study, exuding an oppressive aura. He walked toward her and pulled the teary-eyed girl, her face streaked like a little tabby cat, into his arms. One hand gently smoothed her hair as his voice softened to the extreme, "Still saying you didn’t cry."Gwen leaned against his shoulder, mumbling, "You did it on purpose.""Are you at least a little touched?"She pounded on him twice more in response.Zion chuckled lowly, letting the girl vent while his heart ached silently.These past five years had been filled with fear and uncertainty for him. He had been afraid that before he could make a name for himself, Gwen would fall for someone else. If that happened, what could he possibly use to ask her to come back to him?The love story of a poor boy and a rich girl might've existed in novels, but the reality was often harsh.Gwen didn’t care, but he couldn’t bear to let her endure hardship.Now, as they

Zion and Gwen's marriage seemed inevitable, with no one putting up any resistance. Occasionally, Gwen even had a strange illusion.It all went so smoothly that the years of separation seemed like they had never happened, as if she and Zion had always been together. After their reunion, he didn’t even ask her about her life abroad and treated her just as he did before.She was no longer as youthful and tender, but Zion still saw her as if she were a 20-year-old girl. Gwen felt a bit dejected, thinking to herself, he must just like girls around 18-year-old.But unfortunately, the spring river flows eastward and cannot return!Zion only smiled.In winter, the days grew shorter. After work, Gwen arrived at Zion's villa, but he had not yet come home. The two housekeepers had already started preparing dinner.When Gwen got out of the car, she received a call from Zion. Her voice was soft and tender.“When will you be back?”On the other end, Zion checked the time and said, “I’ll be

Zion noticed Gwen gazing at him with those wide, expectant eyes again. With a chuckle, he reached into the pocket of his trench coat, pulled out a sleek wallet, and carefully extracted a platinum card. He placed it in her outstretched hand and said with a smile, “This is my secondary card. There’s no credit limit.” Gwen gasped softly, then teased, “Wow, aren’t you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.” Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, “Thank you, my sugar daddy.” Zion’s response was to pull her close, cupping her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely. Though he once carried himself as an educator and now as a refined businessman, he found himself utterly smitten by her playful antics. After the kiss, Zion leaned close to Gwen's ear and murmured something uncharacteristically crude that sent a shiver down her spine. He playfully nipped her nose. “Turns out you’ve got a thing for bad boy
