Freya almost wanted to say Ryan was bragging. However, looking at his confident gaze and thinking about the way he worked, she could not help but ask, “Why?”“My dad might not have realized that I’m his most capable assistant. I usually handle a lot of stuff for him, so cutting me off will be very difficult for him to do anything.”Ryan smiled nonchalantly. “He doesn’t know how many things I’ve taken care of for him behind the scenes. You’ll only notice a person’s importance after you lose them.”After understanding everything, Freya pouted. “Okay. It seems like you’ve had everything under your control from the start. I really thought you would give up on your position and influence for me. I felt touched for nothing.”The warm morning light fell on her fair face and tomato-red lips. Her lively eyes had a displeased yet charming look in them.Ryan clenched his fists. He almost could not hold himself back from kissing her.Freya was such a little siren. She had dressed herself up
“Don’t talk as if I’ve accepted your proposal. You’re still on probation. You’re not even officially my boyfriend yet.” Freya harrumphed.“Okay. I will perform well. Let’s go on a date and watch a movie tomorrow night, okay?”“Okay.” Freya agreed without even thinking.It just so happened that tomorrow would be Rodney’s wedding. If she was alone, she might get angrier thinking about it. Since she had a boyfriend to accompany and coax her, her mood might not be that bad. …The next day.In a six-star hotel, a grand wedding was about to be held.In the presidential suite on the 22nd floor, Sarah was wearing a wedding dress fully embroidered with fancy diamonds. A few makeup artists were flattering her as they touched up her makeup. “Miss Neeson, your features are so intricate. It’s my first time finding it so easy to put on makeup for a bride.”“Miss Neeson, your wedding dress is so pretty. I heard Young Master Snow hired a top wedding dress designer overseas to have it custom
In the end, Rodney was the incompetent one.He rubbed his temples. A joke? It was always a joke.From the start of the wedding preparations up to the moment before the ceremony, Sarah had been saying those two words.When she was with Rodney before, did she not say that she did not care about anything else as long as she could be with him?After that, Sarah said she wanted a wedding, and he agreed to it. Later, she said she felt inferior. She was afraid of being looked down on by other people during the wedding, so she wanted to have a grand wedding that would make people envious.Rodney agreed to that as well.Sarah said people usually picked up brides in a sedan, but she wanted to be special. As such, he picked her up in a helicopter.Everything was of top quality. Although money was tight for Rodney, he had never refused Sarah. Although he was busy, he had picked everything out personally. Despite all that, Sarah still said she would be treated as a joke by others.Were
Until that moment, Rodney still felt like he was in a dream, trapped, and could not wake up.“Now, the groom may kiss the bride,” the emcee said.Rodney gradually came back to his senses. He lifted the bride’s veil, only to see the woman in front of him with fair skin and a pretty face. However, upon closer look, her face was still stiff when she smiled. That was a face that had undergone plastic surgery. The surgery was very successful, and the scars on Sarah’s face were gone. Her face looked even better than before, yet Rodney found it unfamiliar. It was so unfamiliar that he could not bring himself to kiss her at all.Seeing that Rodney did not move even after some time, the smile on Sarah’s face stiffened. She reminded him in a low voice, “Rodney…”The emcee joked, “Our groom must be stunned by the bride’s beauty.”Laughter erupted below the stage.Rodney closed his eyes and accepted his fate as he kissed Sarah.…On the night of the wedding, the villa’s butler handed o
Sarah was exasperated, but she still put on a smile on her face. “It’s okay. Money can still be earned even if we run out of it. I believe in your abilities, but I think you should hand over the 100 million dollars to me. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to sustain our daily lives afterward if you throw in your remaining money to the company’s cash flow. Rodney, to be honest, I want to get a doctor overseas to treat my illness. I still wish to have a child with you.”Her eyes reddened. “I want to be a mother.”Rodney frowned in silence and hesitated for a moment. He thought that if it were not for Freya, Sarah would not have lost the chance to be a mother. In the end, he gave her another card. “Go and treat your illness.”“Rodney, I can definitely be cured, right? We’ll surely have a child, right?” Sarah suddenly flung herself into his embrace.As her legs were injured, Rodney had no choice but to hug her.Sarah cried for a while. Then, she kissed his chin. “Rodney, it’s our wedding
After taking a seat, Rodney heard two minor celebrities discussing something behind a partition.“The man in the blue suit earlier is so good-looking. He’s even more handsome than the male celebrities in the entertainment industry. From what I see, his clothes are quite expensive. I wonder which wealthy businessman is he?”“Oh, him. You joined the industry late, so you might not know about this. He’s Rodney Snow.”“His last name is Snow. Is he that person from the Snow family…”“Shhh. Keep your voice down. Yes, that’s him. But don’t even think of playing up to him. He has been abandoned by the Snow family and even stripped of his inheritance rights.”“Even if he has been stripped of his inheritance rights, he’s still a member of the Snow family. Even crumbs that fall from the hands of those people would be enough to feed us for the rest of our lives. Besides, if we get him to be our financial backer, we can take advantage of his connection and resources.”“Ha! You are too naive.
Eliza was satisfied with Rodney’s expression. There was nothing better than killing a person by torturing their heart.Did Rodney not claim that Freya was evil? Now, she would let him know that his ex-wife had not done anything bad all along.“Freya was just taking the blame for me.”Eliza swirled the glass of red wine in her hand. She was smiling, but her pretty eyes were void of warmth. “Freya only knew that I kidnapped Sarah when it was almost morning. By the time she rushed over, I had severely injured Sarah. Freya knew that if I were caught, you would definitely kill me. However, she was different. She was your wife, the prime minister’s goddaughter, and the mother of your child. Even if she got caught, you wouldn’t kill her even though you were furious.”Rodney’s expression was as cold as ice. He stared straight into Eliza’s eyes. “Did Freya tell you to come and lie to me on purpose? She has found such a ridiculous excuse just because she wants to reconcile with me. Ha! Doe
Rodney had no choice but to marry Sarah. He had no choice but to live such a suffocating life.He did not even want to go back to his so-called home.All of that was caused by Eliza.Rodney’s eyes reddened from anger.He increased the force he exerted in his hands.Eliza’s small face was red from being strangled. The wine glass in her hand fell to the ground and made a shattering sound, which alarmed the people nearby.“Ah! Young Master Snow is killing someone.”Someone exclaimed, and the banquet was thrown into a mess.Luckily, a man nearby came over and separated Eliza and Rodney. Eliza doubled over while grasping her throat in pain. She felt as if she was on the border of life and death. She almost suffocated.“Let me go. I’ll kill her,” Rodney shouted angrily.Seeing his ferocious expression, the security guard put in more strength and held him down tightly.“Miss Robbins, are you okay?” A few gentlemen from the banquet surrounded Eliza and helped her up.“I’m… fine.” E
