Leaning against the elevator wall, his countenance bore an icy demeanor, indicating his prolonged presence.Instinctively, Daphne made to leave, but Griffin acted swiftly.In an instant, she was forcefully pinned against the elevator wall with a resounding thud.Constrained by fear, Daphne dared not make a move, for Griffin’s arm rested upon her chest.Raising her head defiantly, she glared at him. "Mr.Reyes, what do you think you're doing?"Griffin fixed his gaze on her and uttered, "You're all dolled up tonight. Are you attending the banquet? With Edgar?"Summoning all her composure,Daphne replied, "Mr. Reyes, we have ended our relationship. It is my right to attend any banquet with anyone I choose."Griffin released his grip and stepped back."Is he the one you've come to fancy? Does he bring you the same happiness as I once did? Daphne , I refuse to believe you had erased me from your memory!"Daphne’s eyes welled up with tears.There had been a time when she lived a blissful exis
In the late hours of the night, Daphne took Layla wearily back to her apartment, their exhaustion evident in their faces.However, despite their weariness, slumber eluded them, refusing to grant them escape.Seeking to provide comfort,Daphne made a steaming cup of chocolate for Layla, hoping it would bring her comfort in their shared unrest.Filled with a desperate desire to convince Layla, Daphne longed to find the right words to sway her. Alas, the path to persuasion eluded her, leaving her uncertain of how to navigate the delicate matter at hand.Seated on the sofa, Layla cradled the warm cup of chocolate, her eyes fixed upon its contents. After a prolonged silence, she finally lifted her gaze and posed a tender question to Daphne, her voice gentle and trembling, "Daphne, do you perceive me as cheap?"With a gentle shake of her head,Daphne vehemently denied such a notion, offering reassurance to her troubled friend .She possessed a great understanding of Layla’s anguish, having wi
Half an hour later.Daphne walked into a luxurious coffee shop and spotted an elegant lady seated near the window.She bore a striking resemblance to Edgar.Approaching the table, Daphne took her seat. Sporting a subtle smile, she inquired, "Are you Edgar’s mother?"Winnie removed her sunglasses, her gaze scrutinizing Daphne from head to toe.Daphne, having weathered numerous experiences, exuded a sense of calm.After a considerable silence, Winnie nonchalantly remarked, "You are even more beautiful than I had imagined! It is no wonder Edgar fell in love with you at first sight and insisted on introducing you to me.I am acquainted with your family background, as you are the stepdaughter of my old classmate. However, I have recently heard rumors about your eventful personal life."Maintaining her composure, Daphne calmly responded, “What did you hear?”Winnie tilted her chin haughtily."Roscoe, Edgar’s cousin, has become entangled with a woman of questionable character. I've also heard
“Mrs. Figueroa, I am 31 years old. If I have to rely on my parents to resolve every predicament I create in the outside world, then I am no better than a failure! By the way... what I truly wish to convey to you is that Daphne is indeed a woman I once doted on. Yes, what I'm saying here is that she's indeed too good for your family. The truth is, I had a minor disagreement with Daphne. Consequently, in a fit of pique, she briefly dated Edgar for a mere ten days. Just ten days. You can find amusement in that fact. Regarding others, regarding the days to come..." A faint smile curved Griffin’s lips, yet the depths of his eyes remained untouched by the smile. Griffin continued, "I do not want anyone to discover that Daphne spent ten days with Edgar. Should there be anyone who dares to gossip about this matter in the future, Mrs. Figueroa, I assure you, I will ensure the downfall of the Figueroa family. I will then employ the resulting wealth to purchase fireworks and illuminate the skie
Daphne graciously congratulated Edgar on his impending engagement.Inwardly, Edgar couldn't help but wonder if Daphne had ever truly harbored any affection for him.Perhaps he had merely filled a void in her life after her breakup with Griffin. He had never truly occupied her heart...Daphne ended the call, her mood taking a turn for the worse. It wasn't because she was saddened by the news, but rather the realization that even Edgar had found a fiancee. She possessed the qualities and looks that others admired, so why was she still single?Neither Edgar nor Griffin were the right match for her.Regardless, getting drunk at home seemed inconsequential, so she poured herself another glass.In the midst of the night, Daphne found herself inebriated.The door to her apartment clicked open.Griffin entered, clutching a new key in his hand.Within the confines of her house, the heating warmed the space, while the aroma of orange filled the air from the lit aromatherapy candle.Daphne slump
Griffin then proceeded to undress and take a shower in the bathroom.Since there were no pajamas available, he opted to sleep naked, clasping Daphne in his embrace.As the night deepened, the atmosphere grew increasingly tranquil.A hint of orange fragrance wafted through the air.********The next morning, as Daphne awoke and opened her eyes, she was startled to find Griffin beside her in bed."Why are you staring at me like that? Do you want a morning kiss?”Griffin asked lazily.Daphne bit her red lips, a mix of surprise and annoyance evident on her face."Why are you in my home,Griffin? Get out of my bed, you bastard!"Nonchalantly,Griffin placed his hand on the back of her head and kissed her passionately.The kiss lingered, leaving Daphne breathless.She hadn't even brushed her teeth, yet he had no qualms about kissing her.When Daphne regained her composure, fragments of the previous night rushed back to her mind. It seemed that Griffin had come over when she was intoxicated. Th
Daphne finally had breakfast and was about to go to the music studio when her cell phone rang.The call was from Nora,she sounded anxious.“Daphne,your father…your…your father…”It sounded as if she was crying.Daphne panicked.”What is it,Nora?”“Your father woke up early and felt dizzy.He ended up fainting during his morning exercise.I had rushed him to the hospital and some tests were ran on him.The doctor said it’s a cardiovascular disease.We’re at Hope Hospital.”Daphne immediately rushed downstairs and opened the car door to get in.“Don’t worry,Nora.I’ll be there in five.”************Half an hour later, Daphne arrived at the hospital.Conrad’s sanity was still unclear.Several doctors were gathered around the hospital bed,working on the surgical plan,Nora sat on the edge of the bed holding Conrad’s hand,she was crying,profusely.Daphne’s heart sank as she watched.When Nora saw her coming,if was as if she had found her backbone.“Daphne!”Daphne gently patted her shoulder to s
Conrad’s surgery was successful.Nora cried tears of joy as he was wheeled out of the operating room,while Daphne clutched her father’s hand.After one night,Conrad’s signs stabilized.The doctor informed them that he might be out of the hospital before the month runs out.Nora was quite happy.”Just in time to go home for the new year!I’m so grateful to Griffin.Conrad,you don’t know how capable he is.”Conrad had a smile on his lips.As he was talking,there came a knock on the door of the hospital room.Nora thought it was Griffin and softly asked Daphne to open the door,with an attitude like a mother-in-law to her son-in-law.Daphne didn’t expect that when the door opened,it was Jacob who was outside.Daphne’s face sank at that moment.She didn’t let him come in.“What are you doing here?”She asked, coldly.Dante gazed deeply at her.“I came to see Uncle Conrad.”Uncle Conrad?Now he was addressing her father respectfully after almost making him rot in jail?!Daphne was afraid of gett
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
