Griffin’s car pulled up to a stop at the front of the Thai restaurant so Jacob could get his car.Jacob got out the car and thanked Griffin,politely.The two men exchanged meaningful glances.Griffin pulled away slowly but Lucia quickly climbed onto the passenger’s seat from the back seat.“This is a moving car.You should be more careful.”Griffin scolded his sister.She stuck out her tongue playfully at him and fastened her seatbelt.All of a sudden,her eyes lit up mischievously.“That woman at the restaurant,you know…Asher’s partner.We didn’t talk much but I got to know that her name is Daphne…she’s so beautiful and sexy.”Griffin swallowed, discreetly and rolled down the window.For some reason,he started to feel hot.But Lucia was oblivious of that and continued talking.“I almost thought that there was something fishy about her and Jacob but thankfully,she’s Asher’s girl so I don’t have to worry about her.”Griffin didn’t say anything and kept his eyes on the road.After a long tim
Nora stared at her stepdaughter with pity.After a while,she made up her mind and gave a bank card to Daphne.Jacob hadn’t been able to freeze this account because it had been for her retirement savings.Daphne held the card in her hand and burst into tears.“I’ll take it but just for now.I’ll replace this morning and I’ll make our lives better again.”Daphne promised,tearfully.She felt she had brought bad luck to her family for ever being involved with Jacob.“I have a small apartment in the suburb.Though it’s old and small,I can live there for now.Just focus on winning your father’s case,okay?”Nora said.Daphne sniffed and nodded.When Nora was discharged from the hospital,Daphne took her to the apartment she rented after they lost their house.It was a 60-square-meter two bedroom unit that was located in an old,dilapidated apartment complex.The decoration was simple and shabby,a stark contrast to their former comfortable residence.Nora looked around and settled down on the lumpy so
When it was time to get off work,Griffin received several dinner invitations.He refused them all and drove straight to a certain restaurant.At 8 o'clock in the evening, the place was packed, and while they dined,Daphne played the piano.Tonight, she was wearing a grey off-shoulder dress. Her long brown hair hung loosely at her waist, swaying slightly as her fingers danced over the keys.In a word, she was captivating.After looking at her through the window for about ten minutes,Griffin finally got out of the car, pushed the restaurant door open, and walked in.He ordered some food and listened while Daphne played the piano leisurely.While waiting for his food, he noticed that some men accosted her from time to time. He figured that they were also attracted to her.Daphne refused them all politely.During her break, one of the restaurant staff handed Daphne a business card."Atty.Griffin Reyes, Reyes Law Firm."Daphne froze. Sure enough, when she turned around, she met Griffin’s ga
Daphne took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm.She said to Lucia, "Please don't come to me anymore. I'm not married, and I don't know anything about weddings. Besides, we're not really friends."Lucia, however, was always spoiled growing up and had never been refused.So she kept pestering Daphne, hell-bent on figuring out why the pretty lady didn't like her.Daphne ignored her and walked into an alleyway, but Lucia still followed her.Daphne rubbed her aching temples, realizing that Lucia wouldn't leave her alone. With clenched fists, she turned around, fully intending to drive Lucia away, but the next second, her eyes went as wide as saucers.A man crept up behind Lucia and knocked her out from behind."It's her! I'm sure this is Jacob’s fiancee! Now we can ransom her off! Jacob will definitely give us the money if we hold his fiancee hostage!""Wait, there's another woman here. Get her! Don't let her get away! Maybe she's also valuable."Before Daphne could scream, a sa
Griffin worriedly looked down and stared at her pale face.She leaned against his chest and said,weakly.”I’m…my head feels so heavy.”Griffin figured that the men might have hit her on the head so he swiftly placed her in his car and drove her to the nearest hospital.Lying in the back seat,Daphne felt extremely dizzy.Her stomach churned,and she wanted to throw up so badly.Griffin drove the car with one hand and dialed a number with the other.“Dr Paul.It’s me Griffin.My friend needs your help.She might’ve suffered a concussion…okay…I’ll be there in ten minutes.”After putting the phone down,Griffin looked at Daphne in the rearview mirror and asked.“How do you feel?”With her eyes closed,Daphne managed to bit out.”Terrible.”Seeing her like this made Griffin feel terrible as well.“We’ll be at the hospital soon,”He said in a low,comforting voice.Despite the nauseating dizziness,Daphne caught the subtle gentleness in Griffin’s tone.She didn’t expect that a man like him would be so
Daphne was on a bad mood to notice the secretary’s presence but when the delicious aroma of the food wafted her nostrils,her stomach grumbled.She thanked the secretary and excitedly opened the food container.Daphne salivated seeing the delicious looking chicken soup.She glanced at Griffin and felt touched.Even if he was doing this to keep a close eye on her or not,she still felt so grateful to be taken care off.Staring at him,Daphne thanked him from the bottom of her heart.“Mr Reyes,thank you for everything you’ve done for me today.”With his long legs crossed,Griffin was busy dealing with work on his phone.Without looking up,he said.“You’re welcome,Miss Howard.But I can’t really accept your gratitude,afterall,you think I did this all because I have an ulterior motive.”Daphne paused,the spoon of soup hanging midair.She lowered her head.”I’m sorry for saying that.”She apologized,humbly.Griffin tore his gaze away from his phone and looked at her.Daphne stared back,their eyes l
The next day,Daphne woke up very early.To her surprise,she found a delicate square velvet box nestled beside her pillow.She felt confused as she opened the box.Inside laid a dazzling diamond ring in classic Tiffany fashion.The main diamond was the biggest Daphne had ever seen.She pursed her lips.It didn’t take long for her to guess who had sent it.She found it so upsetting.After Jacob had abandoned her in that warehouse so she would get raped and killed by thugs,he had the nerves to send her a ring?!Just as she was about to get a nurse to send it back to him,the door swung open,suddenly.Jacob strode in and found Daphne staring at the diamond ring.“You’re finally awake.Do you like it?”He asked,tenderly.Daphne shut the box and glared at him.“I would have loved it if it was from someone else but knowing that it’s from you,the sight of this ring is disgusting and I don’t want it.”She stared at him,indifferently.It was like she was talking to a stranger because now she felt she
Jacob drove to an antiquated apartment complex.He had once called this place home for a span of two years and the security guard still retained vivid recollections of him. As his vehicle rolled into the premises, the guard extended a warm welcome, exclaiming, "Sir Jacob,welcome.”Jacob acknowledged the greeting with a stoic nod.Ascending the stairs, he unlocked a door, revealing an apartment spanning approximately 80 square meters, brimming with cherished memories of his time with Daphne.During that period, his company teetered on the precipice of bankruptcy. The members of his family dwelled within this aging apartment, where Jacob’s mother would haggle at the market in pursuit of food that was about to go bad—because that was all they could afford.Times were arduous indeed.Considering his sense of self-worth, Daphne would frequently grace his presence, preparing meals for him and discreetly offering him financial assistance.What a naive woman she was!She believed Jacob loved
Griffin didn't say any more and led her inside.The entire French restaurant he had reserved, probably because he wanted a quiet space to talk, but Daphne was stressed instead, and as she sat down to order, she whispered, "There's no need to break the bank like this!"Griffin didn't care what he ate, it was up to her.He took a small sip of his pre-dinner wine in his hand and smiled slightly, "Daphne, we've been good for so long, but there don't seem to be many private dates like this one, this place is quite nice, let's come here more often from now on?"Daphne ordered two set meals.After she thanked the waiter, she looked over at Griffin, who was leaning back in his chair and watching her.He does have a nice looking face!Under the luxurious crystal, he was more radiant than the lights.Daphne drank a mouthful of white water and opened her mouth in a hard voice: "The matter of Roscoe and Layla, I would like to ask you to do it."Griffin put down the cup in his hands, long fingers
Waking up in the night with a face full of tears.Later, she sat withered on the terrace all night, and when she came back to her senses the golden dazzling sunlight rose and shone over the whole earth.Daphne lowered her head and gently dialed Griffin’s number."Griffin, I want to see you!"After Daphne finished speaking, there was silence on the other end for a long time.Each of them could hear each other's subtle breathing, and gradually, Griffin breathing became heavier.But in the end, he just flicked, "okay!"He asked her to meet him at a French restaurant in the evening, Daphne refused, she whispered, "Let's talk in your office!"Griffin didn't squeak, clearly refusing.Daphne had begged him and still compromised, "Okay!"*****************************Hanging up the phone, Daphne was in a trance for a long time.Once again involved with Griffin,her heart was actually very clear, she does not pay something he will not help this favor, perhaps he has already laid a good game wai
Darren’s identity was revealed as the son of the richest man in London.In the past, his reputation was not very good, this can be considered to rub behind Daphne whitewash, but also by the financial reports called the father of a tiger without a dog son, especially the business elite model!Of course this group of magazines was also delivered to Griffin’s desk.He looked at it for a long time.He knows how close Daphne is to Darren,she loves him so much that she takes him with her on business trips to other cities.Jessica came in and saw his appearance, she said softly, "Lawyer Reyes, Ms. Daphne has a celebratory dinner tomorrow night, I got an invitation, do you want to go over?"An invitation gently put down.***********Regent Hotel.This celebratory party of Daphne’s a great sound.Darren’s dad Dominic, the richest man in London, specially rushed over from London. He came over to Anthony how can be compared, so also brought his wife and daughter over, of course, there is also hi
He chewed his gum and grunted softly, "Before I was asked to sell coffee, now I'm asked to sell cars,are you going to ask me to sell my body later?"Daphne said very lightly, "With your temper, you can still serve people?"Darren jumped up to serve one on the spot to show her.Daphne ignored him.Darren then snapped, "You say you're really meaningless! It's been a week and you're still thinking about that Griffin? I tell you that if you have tasted the flavor of a small tender grass like me, the package tube immediately put down that old man what is good, still do not know if it is okay!"Daphne was cold and indifferent: "Finish reading the information, I will take you to socialize tomorrow! You know how to play golf, right?"Darren wiggled his long legs.Daphne threw out a sentence, "If you don't know how to do it, go and learn it immediately!"Darren went limp: "Golf is a sport for old people, I'm so young!"***********The next day,Daphne took Darren to the golf course.The other p
They immediately changed restrooms.Layla smiled and said, "It's quite interesting, the firepower is quite fierce! But you're really bringing someone of his status around?"Daphne slowly washed her hands, "His father gave too much, injected 20 million dollars into my music room, I'll take it as bringing up his child!"Layla www envious.How come this thing of a rich man falling from the sky didn't fall on her head, having a little man to drive for herself, and making Nora happy, and also getting 20 million dollars, dreaming and waking up with a smile!As soon as Layla was envious, her stomach reacted.She lay on her back by the sink, dry heaving for a long time,Daphne rushed to give her a pat on the back but Daphne’s heart was a little suspicious of the shadow.Layla isn't pregnant,was she?Layla stood up straight and said very slowly, "It's just bad food."Her words did not completely reassure Daphne, and there was always a doubt.Just then, footsteps sounded outside, followed by a f
The day of Edgar’s wedding.Daphne looked at the invitation, a little out of breath.Time flies, a turn of the eye and half a year had passed, Edgar was getting married, Roscoe and Layla seems to get along well,everyone seemed to have a companion.Darren changed his suit and came in to see Daphne in a daze.He leaned over the side of his desk, took the invitation from her fingers and yelled, "Still thinking of old old?"Daphne was expressionless: "Remember who you are!""I know, I’m just a driver.”Darren looked at her, "Hey,can you go in there alone?If you had spent more money on me,I would have gone with you.”He was quite disgruntled when he said the latter.Daphne put the invitation away and said with a straight face, "It's fine if you don't want to go, wait for me in the car!"How can Darren be willing?He ran from London to Chicago,working as a driver in this small shitty company, just damn for the sake of disgusting surname Reyes, today was the good opportunity!*********The ca
"Owen,look at what mess Daphne is surrounded by, I've already said that her upbringing is too complicated, it's not suitable to go back to the Smith family at all, compared to Renee who is much simpler!"Laurel barked.Owen was a bit hesitant, "Daphne, isn't he not fit to be here?"Daphne gave a cool smile."Mr. Smith,I can't drive anymore, and you have a problem with hiring a driver?""Also, no matter if it’s complicated or simple, I can't climb up to your Smith family, so you guys should go back!"Darren shifted and stood beside her, "That's right, don't get in the way of our family meal!"Daphne shot a glance at him;who was family with him?However, Darren was quite fierce, putting him in Nora’s place to watch over the house was just right, the Smith family people come to disturb again also have a blocking protection.Thinking like this,Daphne looked at him much more smoothly!Owen’s face was pale.Daphne can't drive with her foot yet and can't be a pianist either?He went up and pl
He came closer to her, "My card was confiscated, 8,000 dollars you do not include accommodation,you’ll let me live on the street? With my appearance, how unsafe!"Daphne looked down to take care of something else.She said in a faint voice, "I don’t think there’s any problem with 8,000.”The man jumped up at once: "I can’t accept it.”Daphne pressed the intercom and asked her secretary to ask this gentleman to go out, it is really that her small temple can not accommodate this big Buddha, if she even let him work here, the entire female staff of the music center would not work.The secretary blushed, feeling so sorry for herself.Darren was quite angry: "I'm willing to drive for you but you need to increase the pay.”Just then, Nora came over with her lunchbox.She brought lunch to Daphne, and as soon as she arrived, she saw a big tall guy standing in the office, and he couldn't have looked better.He was so good-looking! Shiny all over.Nora was overjoyed!Darren heard Daphne call ou
She held her husband's hand, "Tomorrow you should perform well, more or less for Griffin to get good impression points, if you can't, you can bring Lucia there, I see Daphne likes Lucia very much,she can convince her.”Anthony frowned.Daphne was way older than Lucia.How much convincing could Lucia possibly do?**********Anthony was full of anticipation, thinking that Daphne was going to accept their family's hundreds of billions of dollars, but he didn't expect to be sued.Anthony politely sent the little girl away.Waiting for someone to go away.His old face darkened, "Get Griffin over here!"The secretary immediately went to do so and in less than half an hour, Griffin came over!In the president's room of Reyes Enterprise, the sound of porcelain breaking came from the room, accompanied by Anthony’s angry roar, "I told you to fight for her, I didn't tell you to deal with the O’Connell family! I have a close friendship with Gary O’Connell.His son’s company is on the verge of coll
