Makenna's expression dumbfounded.
Oh no, will Mr. Baldwin think that her conduct was problematic and fire her?
"Mr. Baldwin, your employee under your supervision assaulted me. You cannot just ignore it! Look at the injuries on my body, sob... This kind of person should be fired. Keeping her in your company will only bring shame to all of you!"
Jimena said this and glared at Makenna fiercely, "I'm going to tell the media reporters that this year's design competition champion was fighting in the lounge! I'm going to make you go viral!"
Makenna hadn't had a chance to explain to Mr. Baldwin when Riley casually spoke up, "Well done."
Makenna: ?
Jimena: ?
Others: ?
"Next, the monthly salary increased tenfold, so work hard."
Makenna took two seconds to process before realizing, and exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Baldwin!"
Riley's gaze fell on Abigail, and his voice softened as he said, "Come over here, big brother.
"Oh," Abigail picked it up to show her, "this is a gift from my older brother.""Did your older brother prepare a gift for you? Did you both come back together just now?""Um."Marilyn hurriedly added, "Ms. Abigail came back in Riley's car!"Janet glanced at her disdainfully, as if to say, "What's there to be proud of?" Courtney had no idea how many times she had ridden in Riley's car before!Marilyn deliberately added, "She was still sitting in the passenger seat."Janet was taken aback.Even Courtney couldn't believe it...You should know that not only she, but even her second brother, third brother, and fourth brother, all sat in the back seat of Big Brother's car!Why on earth could Abigail sit in the passenger seat?!"You have a conscience, kid. You know how to treat your sister well!" Lauryn said, satisfied. At the same time, she looked at the gift in Abigail's hand and asked, "What did your older brother gi
Upon hearing this number, Abigail was even less inclined to accept it, saying, "I have my own.""Here." Riley handed the card to her. "Feel free to use it, without any psychological burden.""I couldn't spend so much.""Then keep it, and when you get married in the future, Big Brother will give you more," Riley's gaze softened. "Consider it as pocket money from Big Brother to you."Courtney was furious on the side!Pocket money!Twenty billion pocket money!!One day, when I was tired and didn't want to work anymore, I told my elder brother, "Brother, please support me." Riley's voice also softened, "If there are other companies under the group that you are interested in, just let me know, they are all yours."Courtney: !"Thank you, big brother," Abigail said. She wasn't interested in the company and was too busy with her own personal matters, but Riley's words did warm her heart."Big brother has been in the coun
Easton felt it necessary to make a trip, perhaps someone really fell for his daughter's beauty...Taking a closer look, the daughter's facial features were indeed good, but he had just been a bit too rough, and her face had swollen from the blows.Half an hour later.The Lucero family's car was parked in front of an abandoned warehouse in the outskirts.Mrs. Skinner was a little scared and tightly grabbed her husband's clothes. "Why does this place look so desolate? Is this where we are meeting? I have a bad feeling...""You don't understand!" Easton gave her a disdainful look and pulled his hand away. "Don't wrinkle my clothes, I have to meet Mr. Lucero later!""Gerald, let's go back...""You women have long hair but short knowledge!" Easton looked up and surveyed the place in front of him. "Sometimes men just want to try something different! What do you understand?"Jimena couldn't wait to get out of the car.Just now
Half an hour later.Ronan's car was parked at the entrance of Lakefront Villa.He looked up and saw that Abigail's room was still lit with warm light. He got out of the car and took out his phone, dialing the familiar number."Abby, haven't you slept yet?""Hmm." Abigail had just finished taking a shower and was drying her hair with a towel. "Is the matter resolved?""Yes, I was planning to go straight to find you after getting off the plane."I found out temporarily that her hand was injured, which was related to the Skinner family... Dealing with it took some time."Come to the window."He didn't want to disturb at this moment, as it was hot and he couldn't bear to let the girl leave the air-conditioned room, so he went to the scorching balcony.So I could only look at her from afar.Abigail came to the window and found Ronan standing by the car, looking up in her direction.His figure was slender and upr
"Young people don't rest so early," Lauryn suddenly understood. No wonder Abby called her in the morning with a slightly unpleasant tone. It turns out Helen was causing trouble for her.Did the designer of the Berger family also participate in the design competition today?Thinking this way, Kevin asked angrily, "Is your injury related to her? If it is, Dad will demand an explanation from the Berger family!""This matter has nothing to do with anyone else," Abigail said, looking at Courtney. "Didn't you need to make a phone call?"Courtney was in a difficult situation and had no choice but to reluctantly take out her phone. If she made the call, all the lies would be exposed, wouldn't they?Where should she put her face in the future?"Ms. Abigail, Miss Courtney always regarded you as a sister, you misunderstood her."Janet said, pretending to feel sorry, "In Miss Courtney's heart, you, as her sister, hold the most importance. How cou
With that, she innocently turned around, about to leave.Just then, the phone in the living room rang. Marilyn answered it and hurriedly brought the phone over, saying, "Madam, it's for you."She handed the phone to Lauryn, adding, "It's Helen calling."Helen?Courtney wanted to grab the phone, but it was too late. With one foot already out of the restaurant, she was neither walking nor staying, feeling restless and anxious."Helen, huh?" Lauryn answered the phone, asking affectionately, "Do you need something from me?""Auntie, Courtney's phone was turned off, and I am very worried about her. There is something I must tell you about your relative, Abigail..."Helen originally wanted to say that Abigail had a tendency for violence.But Lauryn naturally asked, "Oh, you're talking about my daughter Abby? What happened to her?""You, your daughter??" Helen was taken aback this time, and it took her a few seconds to ask, "Ab
Riley: ?So, the pink diamond that he wanted to give to his sister, was snatched by Ronan and given to his sister first?"I went to meet him."Riley had just left the hall and hadn't even reached the door when, from a distance, he saw Ronan holding his sister's face and saying something affectionate.His gaze filled with displeasure. He quickened his pace. Before he could get closer, they had already boarded the car and left.Clothing Company.Brent caught sight of Abigail and immediately approached her, saying, "Ms. Abigail, you've finally arrived! Our company's phones have been ringing off the hook! Many people specifically want the clothes designed by Miss Skinner for the competition, and some manufacturers want to place orders for thousands, even tens of thousands of pieces at once!""What are you still standing there for? Free up a production line and increase production."Those were all designed by Makenna herself, and sh
"Last night when I went to pay the water and electricity bills, I heard from the property management that you are the owner. Only then did I realize that it was you who rented the house to us at a lower price!"In the past, Abigail always pretended to be a friend's house and the rent she gave was also very cheap.Makenna felt immensely grateful in her heart, "If it weren't for you, on the anniversary of my father's passing, my mother and I might have already..."It was not clean.I don't know if there was any face left to live in this world.She said this, lowered her gaze, and quickly raised a smile again, "It was you who pulled me up again and again, allowing me to stand on the top of the mountain and see a different view! So I have decided to stay by your side and study hard from now on!"Although she shone in this competition, many people boasted that she was a rising designer and the next "Ms. Norton"...But only she knew that it
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
