After dinner, Riley sat on the sofa, occasionally glancing towards the direction of the front door.
Courtney brought a plate, with a sweet smile on her face.
"Brother, this is the apple I peeled for you. I made it into a crab shape, isn't it cute?"
She smiled innocently, "I even made the pears into bird shapes, and the strawberries into Santa Claus. Do you think they look like it?"
She deliberately pointed at the fruits on the plate with her injured finger.
Riley noticed right away, "Are you injured?"
He took the plate from her hand first, and then immediately ordered the servant next to him, "Bring the medicine box."
The servant hurriedly went to fetch it.
Courtney pretended to look at her fingers and said, "Maybe I accidentally got it while I was peeling the fruit just now. It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all. I didn't even notice until you mentioned it."
"It cut her finger, how could it not hurt?" Riley knew she was lyi
Nine o'clock in the morning.Abigail livestreamed in the name of the company releasing a new product, and she had Makenna as the host."Hello everyone, I am Makenna, a designer from Sunrise Group..." Makenna was a bit shy facing the camera for the first time, but still greeted everyone with the utmost enthusiasm."Hello everyone, I am designer Miguel," Miguel also greeted the audience, "I am delighted to present the new product to you in this way today. Look at this floral dress in my hand, are you familiar with it? That's right! This is the new model released by Huerta Garment yesterday!""In fact, such a design was somewhat conservative. Let's take a look at how I designed it, shall we?"Makenna held a pair of large scissors and cut the top in half from the waist. She neatly trimmed the cut-out shirt, removing the excess sleeves and cutting out the two shoulders. Then, she slightly shortened the bottom half of the skirt and stitched it together.
Rachel was already very angry, and not long after, someone else reported."Ms. Huerta, a total of eighty-three thousand dresses were canceled in the backend... Some of them were already sent out, but the customers didn't want them, so we had to intercept the deliveries... In the end, not only did we not make any money, but we also lost the shipping fees..."Rachel was so angry that she had a headache. She pressed her fingers against her temples and felt like she couldn't catch her breath.Eighty-three thousand dresses, if they couldn't be sold in the end and were stockpiled in the warehouse, how much money would be lost...Rachel dared not think any further."Ms. Huerta, something bad happened. The previous manager of Simplicity Garment said they wanted to order ten thousand dresses from us. Because we trusted them, we didn't ask for a deposit upfront. But now they suddenly changed their mind and placed the order with Sunrise Group instead..."
She recounted everything that had happened, and everyone left angry comments, cursing Marcel, Callum, and Huerta Garment.He even went to their personal Twitter, official Twitter, and official live stream to curse at them.A large number of fans began to boycott the brand Huerta Garment and created a trending topic.Some enthusiastic viewers even helped to call the police.Huerta Garment thought that by deploying the most professional team of lawyers, they could defeat Sunrise Group.Unexpectedly, they were exposed in such a way, and faced with the irrefutable evidence, the executives of Huerta Garment demanded an explanation from Rachel and Callum.Rachel and Callum were under attack from all sides.After a while, the police came to the door and took both of them away.After the live broadcast ended, the entire Design Department celebrated wildly. They dug into their own pockets and treated the whole company to afternoon tea,
Elliott returned home in a disheveled state.Marlene saw his bruised and swollen face and exclaimed, "How did you end up looking like this? Did the Baldwin family beat you up?"For Peyton, they actually disregarded their status as upper-class celebrities and went after Bushmere, the wealthiest person.How rude!"It was two self-righteous security guards..." Elliott didn't want to talk about it anymore.At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be a man who lost position and influence might be subjected to much indignity. He sat on the sofa dejectedly and whispered, "Today is the last day. Once it's past midnight, it will be the deadline of three days.""I don't believe that damn girl... that girl, dare to post online about Gina plagiarizing her work!""Ah..." Elliott didn't say anything, he sighed heavily. He knew Abigail's personality well, and he knew that when the time came, she wouldn't consider any family ties.
"Mr. Guzman... Now Mr. Smith said that he would only consider buying it for sixty million, otherwise, he would go to sleep...""What did you say? Sixty million?" Elliott almost exploded."Yes, if it was sixty million, he would make the full payment; otherwise, he would turn off the lights and rest."Elliott was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared. He was about to say he wouldn't sell anymore, when Marlene suddenly knelt down beside him and pleaded softly, "Just sixty million... as long as we have the green hills, we won't be afraid of running out of firewood..."The clock was pointing to eleven fifty-five!Elliott's heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe, and he gritted his teeth cruelly, "Sell!""Great!" The agent breathed a sigh of relief and quickly made arrangements...At eleven fifty-eight, Elliott's phone beeped and received a deposit of sixty million."Hurry, quickly turn that damn girl over..." Marlene sa
The next morning.Abigail was getting ready to leave when she heard Marilyn say, "Ms. Abigail, Riley has been waiting for you for two nights in a row.""Big brother?" Abigail was somewhat surprised. "He came back?""Yes, Riley finished all the overseas affairs and hurried back to meet you, but you have been leaving early and coming back late these past two days, so they couldn't meet you."Marilyn said this and asked gently, "Can you come home for dinner tonight?"She could tell that Riley really wanted to see her younger sister.But Abigail remembered that she still had to help Makenna with her professional knowledge after work. "It will be after dinner. I will try to do it as early as possible.""Great!" Marilyn smiled, "Riley must have been very happy to see you."These past few days, Abigail has been extremely busy, allowing Courtney to take advantage and constantly fawning over Riley.Abigail walked out of the gate
Not knowing if they found her annoying, several hooligans clenched their clubs in their hands and walked towards her."No, don't come over..." The stall owner's wife was so scared that she kept waving her hands and trembling.Abigail took care of a few hooligans and kicked the stick on the ground, sending it flying towards the head of another hooligan in the distance.Several other thugs who were about to trouble the boss lady were also hit in the stomach or head by the seven or eight plates kicked over by Abigail.They became even angrier and directed all their anger towards Abigail."Ms. Abigail, do you know them?" Makenna was being pulled back and forth by Abigail, sometimes seeing several sticks falling down at once, and other times seeing countless fists and feet coming towards them. She was terrified and didn't know what to do.These people didn't speak either, they just started fighting.Abigail threw her behind the stall and t
Appleston Convention Center.The annual Dracmeadow Garment Design Contest was held here.Abigail parked the car outside the center's parking lot and went to the main entrance to find Makenna.The entire Convention Center was filled with competition flags and hung with competition banners, creating a lively atmosphere.There were many participants today, and many reporters were waiting at the entrance. They quickly pressed the shutter when they saw famous designers.Makenna stood alone in the corner and saw Abigail. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Ms. Abigail, this!"Abigail walked briskly, exuding a cool and confident aura. "Just call me Abigail, today I am your assistant.""Okay," Makenna nodded quickly, "Did you have breakfast?"Ate."Why isn't your hand bandaged?" Makenna noticed that her right wrist was still bruised and swollen, and quickly rummaged through her backpack. "Let me wrap it for you. I bought gauze
Courtney was stunned for a few seconds, as if frozen in place."Can you, like her, accept her in front of your parents and brother? Just as she accepted you?"Riley saw her lost in thought and patted her head, "Think about what big brother said tonight before going to bed. I hope that next time he comes home, he can see a different you."Riley's biological clock was still accurate. There were only three minutes left until his bedtime. He stood up and did not make any exceptions for anyone.Before he left, he specifically said, "If I were you, I would cherish everything in front of me, not wait until it's lost to regret it."Courtney looked at him in astonishment."Goodnight," Riley took a step and left the terrace.Seeing Riley leave, Janet, who was hiding in the dark, quickly appeared and said, "Miss Courtney, are you alright?"She had secretly followed Riley since she went to find Miss Courtney just now.I thought Rile
Due to significant damage to their central nervous system, as well as respiratory tract infections, anemia, disturbances of water and electrolyte balance, and other conditions, my grandparents required multiple medications.She first prepared the medicine she needed to take for the next three days, grinding them into powder for easy mixing with water.Unconsciously, it was already 8:30 in the evening and I had been busy.Riley and others were in the lush courtyard, raising their watches and looking towards the direction of the gate, but they never saw the figure of their sister returning home.Did she go out for something? Is she going to see that doctor?I don't know whether that doctor was a man or a woman. If it was a man, going alone so late, would my sister be taken advantage of?At this moment, Marilyn approached respectfully and reported, "Riley, the daisies you ordered have been planted. Would you like to go up and take a look?"
Riley suddenly became curious about her sister's position in the medical field. She wondered how her sister could come up with a solution to such a difficult medical condition in an instant.As is well known, the most skilled doctor internationally was Elian. It was said that his medical skills were extraordinary, capable of bringing the dead back to life. However, he was elusive, and no one knew his whereabouts.Since my grandparents were admitted to the ICU, he had sent people multiple times to inquire about Elian's whereabouts, hoping to ask him to come forward and save my grandparents.Some people said that he had already died, while others said that he had once appeared at Secret Delta. Whether these pieces of information are reliable or not, nobody knows.Did my sister learn her medical skills from Elian?If it was true, then surely the grandparents would be saved!"Abby, you seem so confident in that doctor's medical skills. It seems
"Abby, you saved your grandmother! In such a short time, you brought her back from the brink of death! You are truly amazing!" Kevin was extremely excited and wanted to hug her.To our surprise, Lauryn hugged her daughter first and said, "Great, your grandmother is fine! She scared us just now!"I'm afraid something might have happened to her elderly lady...I didn't expect my daughter's medical skills to be so brilliant.No wonder Sergio always praised her excellent medical skills before.It turns out that it was not that the old person favored Abby, but Abby really had the ability!Her medical skills were really superb!The decisiveness, calmness, and wisdom she displayed during the process of rescuing someone just now were truly impressive!Abigail was suddenly embraced by her mother, a feeling of being loved, pampered, and valued that she had never experienced from childhood to adulthood."If your grandmother woke up
"Mom, why don't you take Courtney out for a walk?" Riley reminded.Lauryn, also feeling heavy-hearted from her crying, stood up and pulled Courtney, "Courtney, let's go outside."Don't disturb grandparents' rest.When Courtney stood up, she pretended to be unsteady and threw herself into Lauryn's arms. "Mom, when will grandpa and grandma wake up? I'm so worried, I feel so uneasy... I feel dizzy, I can barely stand.""I know you're filial." Lauryn patted her back. "Mom believes that your grandparents are good people, and they will definitely recover soon.""I'm going to talk to the doctor," Kevin said. He couldn't control his emotions several times and stood up with red eyes, taking the first step out of the ward.When there were only the two siblings left in the ward, Riley asked softly, "Can you still take a pulse?"Abigail was taken aback for a moment, but she answered truthfully, "I know a little.""What went wrong with that
"Hello," Abigail nodded slightly to show politeness.The head nurse took one look and noticed that this young lady's demeanor appeared even more noble than Courtney's. Could she possibly be a relative of the Baldwin family?He seemed to come from a prestigious family, well-mannered, and there was no trace of the fragility and stubbornness that Courtney exuded. It was evident that he was someone who understood the bigger picture."Did Mom and Dad wake up today?" Lauryn asked with a glimmer of hope, although she knew the chances were extremely low."Sir Baldwin and Madam Baldwin had not woken up yet. In the past three days, their condition has not been very good..."The daily monitoring data and doctor's advice would be updated in the background of a software every day for Kevin and Lauryn to check at any time.Lauryn also noticed in the past few days that the data of the two elderly people has been gradually declining. The doctor's comment wa
After work, Riley brought Abigail to Mosley Hospital and parked the car in the VIP garage. Just as they got out of the car, they saw their motorhome approaching from a distance and parking in the spot next to theirs.This floor was exclusively for their family, the VIP floor where vehicles of other patients' families were not allowed to enter, ensuring excellent privacy.Kevin helped Lauryn out of the car while Courtney pretended to still be in pain from her previous fall and also asked her father for assistance.As soon as Courtney got out of the car, she immediately held Kevin's left hand and Lauryn's right hand, and said with a smile, "Big brother, sister, you're here too?"Riley's gaze fell on her arm, and she said, neither lightly nor heavily, "If someone didn't know, they would think that our parents are only yours. We are all grown-ups, yet still so childish."This is childish, I don't know if it means she is naive and loves to act coquettis
"Um." Riley finally picked up the coffee and took a sip.Abigail also picked up the cup and tasted it, "Not bad."At this moment, someone brought the snack cabinet and snacks again. Jaylin personally organized them and said, "Ms. Abigail, Mr. Baldwin usually doesn't eat snacks. If there are any that don't suit your taste, you can tell me, and I won't have them delivered next time.""Okay." Abigail usually doesn't eat snacks, but seeing her older brother being so thoughtful, her heart still feels warm.Jaylin sorted the snacks into different categories and labeled them with tags such as nuts, spicy strips, cookies, candies, pastries, potato chips, and so on. She then stuck the labels on them to make it easier for Abigail to find them next time.Brent on the side watched with drooling mouth, almost envious to the point of tears. He also wished he had such a domineering and gentle older brother...After Jaylin finished his work, Riley asked him
Noon.The employees who were eating in the cafeteria were so shocked when they saw Riley and Abigail appear that they couldn't even hold their forks steady.Hasn't Mr. Baldwin left yet?Did you still stay at the company and have lunch with Ms. Abigail?Did Mr. Baldwin really like Ms. Abigail, as rumored?But between them, there was at least a six or seven-year age difference!Is this considered an older bull eating tender grass?"He spoke to Ms. Abigail so gently."Riley bent down to listen to Abigail speaking, then nodded and said something to the cafeteria staff. They helped Abigail with her meal, first bringing it to the table and making her sit in her seat to wait."Mr. Baldwin was such a gentleman! He helped Ms. Abigail serve her meal first before serving his own, without any hesitation or inconvenience.""Abby!!"At this moment, Makenna prepared the meal and saw Abigail sitting alone at the dining tab
