Yaacob fell to the ground because Randall had used most of his strength in that punch.Tasting metal, Yaacob was just about to wipe his mouth when Randall pulled him up by the collar."Where is Rowena?" he pressed.Yaacob remained silent.Randall was absolutely furious. He gave Yaacob one last chance: "I'm asking you, where is she?""I can't tell you."Randall punched him again.Bang!The bottles of alcohol on the bar shattered.Yaacob still remained silent. He could have explained himself.After all, he was even good at talking to women, who were the hardest people to convince in the world.However, Yaacob remained silent. He wanted to anger Randall to punish himself.Nancy was right in saying that they should save Rowena. It was the right thing to do.However, Yaacob and Randall were sworn brothers. He would not use logic to convince himself of the validity of his actions and would allow Randall to teach him a lesson."Did you purposely call me over last night? Did Row
Not long after Randall left the country, Lola left university.Nancy heard that she left of her own free will because she did not want to study anymore.She heard nothing else about Lola.The moment Randall left, Yaacob practically lost his right arm.The competition between him and Julian was growing incredibly intense. Even Nancy was getting worried.Thankfully, after securing a few important projects, Yaacob was slowly gaining the advantage.Yaacob's position in the company was now higher than Julian's.Nancy could feel their relatives' attitudes toward her changing. However, Lady Getson was always watching her with a worried expression.For instance, after Nancy had had breakfast that day, she turned to see Lady Getson staring at her, causing her to feel a bit nervous.However, Nancy still walked forward and asked, "Grandma, did you need something?"Lady Getson looked at her bag and asked, "Are you going to class?""Yes, I am!""All right, go on."Hearing that, Nancy w
In the middle of the banquet, Nancy finally found a chance to sit down and rest.Even though her shoes were beautiful, they made her quite sore.Just as she sat to rest, some idiot decided to walk over with a wine glass in hand.Nancy clenched her teeth inconspicuously as she stood again, but she looked up to see that the idiot was Spencer."Nancy, it's been a long time."In truth, Spencer was no idiot. Nancy had just constantly had people around her, so this was his only chance to talk to her in private."That's true. It has been a long time," Nancy said."Sit. Your shoes don't seem to be that comfortable. Standing in heels must be quite exhausting. You should rest while you can."He had even noticed that her shoes were not comfortable. It seemed like Spencer had been paying Nancy a lot of attention.Nancy smiled at him, thanking him for his understanding, but she did not sit.Nancy was Mrs. Getson at the moment. If she was not polite, then it would look bad on the Getson fa
"Congratulations! You're pregnant, Ms. Yale."The doctor passed the test report to Anna, and she stared at it in disbelief."Am I really pregnant?""Yes!""How long have I been pregnant?""It's the seventh week."Anna held the report but did not leave the hospital right away.She went to the inpatient department. It was on the eighth floor of another building.When she exited the elevator, she saw a familiar nurse. She hurriedly asked, "How has my father been?"The nurse stopped and smiled. "He's doing well. He just had lunch."Anna was not relieved.Her father had been in the hospital for over a month. When was he going to get better?Anna visited him at the hospital every day, and she could see that he was getting worse. However, the doctors could not figure out what was wrong with him, which was very frustrating.After Wesley had fainted at work and been sent to the hospital, he had lied to Anna and said that it was just the flu.Two days after he had left the hospital
When they got home, Xander walked upstairs toward his room. Anna followed him.The man suddenly stopped and turned around to say to her, "Why don't you go talk to the housekeeper about your pregnancy? Have her pay more attention to your nutrition and food intake."It was Anna's first time being pregnant, and she did not know what she needed to focus on. What Xander said reminded her that she would have to change up her diet.Was the man concerned about her?"Oh."She nodded and went to let the housekeeper know.The moment she turned around, the man behind her said, "I hope the child won't be as stupid as you."Anna lowered her head and bit her lower lip.It seemed like she had overthought things. She really was dumb.How could Xander ever care about her?He did not look happy about the pregnancy at all. It was like he saw it as a job.Once he had completed his job, Xander began staying out the whole night and not coming home again.While Anna was daydreaming in her room, sh
Anna sighed as she said, "You've already made up your mind about this anyway, so I won't bother defending myself. I wanted to talk to you about something else today. It's about you and Leanne."Xander denied nothing and merely raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did that assistant tell you?""You don't have to know who told me, and I won't ask if you really have something going on with a single mother either. I just want to ask that you please not have any unclear relationships with women for the moment. At least until my father leaves, don't—"Anna suddenly got choked up."I don't think my father has much longer. I don't want him to worry about me. Please, just see it as acting in front of him. Could you just act a bit nicer to me when we're with him?"Xander did not answer, so she clenched her teeth and kneeled in front of him. "I'm begging you!""Waht are you doing? Get up!""I won't get up if you don't promise me!""Anna, don't use such lowly methods to threaten me. Do you think
This time, Yaacob would be away on a business trip for at least two weeks. Before he left, he had arranged everything for Nancy. Nancy should be completely fine. Yaacob's current standing in the family was strong enough that no one dared mess with Nancy. Even if there were problems, they would be only small matters that Nancy could solve on her own. Nevertheless, Yaacob disallowed Nancy from driving herself around. When Nancy had to attend classes, a dedicated driver would send her. The driver was not just responsible for driving; he was also Nancy's bodyguard.Nancy had been secretly observing the driver whenever he picked her up. The driver had a muscular body similar to a fitness trainer. It did make her feel very safe under his protection.Then again, she wondered why she needed someone to protect her. She thought about and listed down all of her enemies.Lucy was being taken out of jail due to her family claiming her to be a mental patient. She would be placed in an asylum wi
Teresa noticed something was wrong with Spencer. After their argument, Spencer did not return home.Teresa had thought about it and realized she had to depend on Spencer for the rest of her life because she had given up her acting career. Although Spencer did not own a media company anymore, his family had been in business for many years and had built up enough wealth to last ages.She tried calling Spencer. He did not pick up, so she called him again. However, Spencer had switched off his phone.The next day, Teresa tried to apologize, but he did not pay her any attention. He was obviously ignoring her at lunch. When the clock struck eight p.m., he left the house without bothering to tell her where he was going.He had still not returned by midnight. Teresa was lying on the bed by herself and could not sleep. Experience told her her husband was having an affair.A week later, Teresa showed up at the Getson Estate demanding to see Nancy. She was shouting and throwing a fit. The se
