In the men's group chat, everyone was abuzz with excitement.Gabriel: "Mr. Curtis is really generous. He's starting a shower of money boxes."The next moment, Anthony also sent a few money boxes for fun.Tommy figured that since the other part was at the very least, the biological father of his nephew, he should also send some money boxes as a gesture of congratulations.Everyone was sending the money boxes, except Curtis, who only knew how to take them.Gabriel tagged Curtis after seeing this.Gabriel: "Mr. Crosby, aren't you going to do it too?"Curtis: "I have no money."Gabriel: "Tut tut, just look at that. Decades of friendship can't even compare to former love rivals."He was, of course, referring to Calvin.Curtis: "I got married and you still haven't sent any to me."He said this with full reason and confidence.Gabriel: "You secretly got married. I don't even know how I would've sent it to you."Curtis: "Well, now that you know, it's not too late to send it now."
True to her word, Margot immediately transferred 8000 dollars to Curtis.People often said that a man who spends a woman's money lacked ambition. Who would have thought Curtis would actually accept it? Not only did he take it, but he also bragged about it in the men's group chat.Curtis: "It's great to have a woman supporting you. When you run out of money, she'll transfer thousands of dollars to you in no time."Curtis: "Hey everyone, can't I just chill and enjoy an easy life now?"Tommy: "How shameless."Anthony: "In my entire life, I would rather starve than spend a woman's money."Gabriel: "My friend, you've changed."Calvin: "I know a few billionaires too. I think I should introduce them to my sister."Curtis tagged Calvin in the group chat and asked, "Is that really necessary?"Calvin: "It is very necessary."Curtis: "Alright, alright, I'll return the money, okay? I think you all are just acting sour because you can't have what I have. All you do is envy me; is there an
Anthony didn't deny it; he admitted that he was exactly as Calvin described.Even though there was no future between him and Lena, he just couldn't forget about her. He didn't want her to leave him and go to another man.The thought of her marrying another man drove Anthony mad with jealousy; he simply couldn't accept it.What to do after finding Lena wasn't something he needed to think about right now.All he wanted now was to quickly go find her.She was not allowed to be alone with Branden no matter what.…After hanging up the phone, Calvin left the study and went to the master bedroom.Natalie was sitting at the bedside and was conducting prenatal education for their babies.When she saw Calvin come in, she smiled and asked, "Finished with work?"Calvin responded with a small sound and walked over to sit next to Natalie. He took her hand in his, and it seemed like he wanted to say something but was unsure of how to begin.It was clear to Natalie that Calvin had things t
Although it seemed like the climb from the foot to the top of the mountain should be short, Lena ended up taking three full days to make the ascent.In the end, while she was completely out of provisions and utterly exhausted, she collapsed unconscious in front of the dilapidated gate of the abbey.When she woke up again, she was already lying on a hard wooden bed. She was in a place that was quite similar to where she had lived with Branden when she was a child.She sat up and noticed that the room was sparsely furnished. One could even say it was an empty place with nothing but bare walls.Occasionally, she could hear the sounds of chickens and other poultry coming from outside the taped-up window.Lena got out of bed, put on her shoes, and quietly walked to the door. She pulled open the carved wooden door that showed signs of age.The courtyard was similar to a typical abbey's courtyard. It's a small quadrangle with plants and bushes everywhere, decorated pillars, and statues,
This way, Margot and the rest would feel less worried and their lives would feel more secure.Curtis held her close and comforted her, saying, "The reason Calvin took Natalie back to Emeria is because Anthony went to find Lena."Don't worry, if Anthony finds Lena, he will definitely inform us right away."Margot agreed after thinking it over.It was because Anthony went to find Lena that Calvin took Natalie and Benjamin back to Emeria.She was now just waiting for news from Anthony and didn't need to spend too much manpower searching for Lena. She believed that he would definitely find Lena .…After getting up and freshening up, the couple went downstairs to have breakfast.In the dining room, Elias, Ashley, Laura, Curtis, and Margot were seated.In the middle of the meal, Laura looked up at Elias and Ashley and said, "I want to participate in a talent show."Several people simultaneously turned their gaze toward Laura.Laura looked at them and said, "This is my dream, and
Curtis wasn't at all that happy about Margot reaching out to Tommy, and he said, "I'll handle the discussions about the investment. You stay home and take care of Louis."Margot refused, saying, "No, you don't understand how profitable the entertainment industry is. I've got money, and I'll invest in it to eventually monopolize the entire entertainment industry for Natalie's studio."Then, we'll turn the studio into a company, go public, and make a fortune."Curtis was both amused and exasperated. "Do you think making money is that easy? Do you think you can just create a monopoly or go public on a whim? Do you have any idea how much money needs to be invested to get there?"Margot stared at Curtis with obvious disdain. She said, "I have plenty of money, so it doesn't matter how much I invest. I'll put my money into any big project, whether it makes a profit or not. My main goal is to dominate the entertainment industry and become a major player. This way, I can support Aunt Laur
"You're five weeks into your pregnancy. Since your health isn't the best, you must watch out for …"Margot Stone didn't hear what the doctor said afterward. All she heard was that she was pregnant.She was pregnant …She couldn't believe she was having his baby.Didn't this mean that their contract marriage would now turn into a real one?Margot was over the moon. She remembered that he was returning from his business trip tonight, so she grabbed her pregnancy report and dashed home excitedly.As the sun set and the sky began drizzling, Margot returned home completely drenched.As soon as she entered the house, her housekeeper, Doris, rushed over with a towel to dry off Margot's hair."Oh, look at you! You'll catch a cold at this rate! Hurry upstairs and take a warm bath."Still, Margot kept beaming from ear to ear.She bent over to change her shoes. That was when she saw a pair of well-polished leather shoes on top of the shoe cabinet.Pleasantly surprised, Margot spun arou
Margot knew Curtis had given her a lot, and she shouldn't cling to him.However, she was pregnant with his child, so she must think for her child as well."Are you trying to start a fight, Margot?" Curtis' scowl deepened.Standing beside the bed, he looked down at Margot but didn't explain why he was marrying the other woman.Margot didn't want to anger him, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.Working hard to keep her emotions in check, she replied, "I just want to know if you'll stop talking to that woman if I have a baby with you."She was giving him a chance.Curtis pressed his lips together, displeased. Without hesitation, he said, "We will still be getting divorced, just not now. Don't worry. You can have anything you want when we get divorced."Hearing this, Margot shut her eyes as hot tears rolled down her cheeks.Her heart throbbing, she threw herself across the bed, unable to stop her cries any longer.Curtis watched her sob, and his heart began to ache
