Throughout Carol’s admission to the hospital, Michelle and her colleagues were by her side. In fact, her colleagues took a few photos of Michelle while she was with Carol. Once Carol was awake, these photos would perfectly show how much the Rayconson Group cared about its employees. Carol was out of danger as she had been attended to in time. Michelle sighed with relief.“I’m so glad you’re alright,” she said to Carol.At this moment, Jonah hurried into the ward. “Mom!”“Jonah, I’m fine. It’s all thanks to Miss Rayconson for bringing me here. If not for her, I wouldn’t be around to see you anymore.” Carol couldn’t help tearing up at the thought of being so close to death and unable to see her son.“Thank you so much.” Jonah turned to Michelle, looking deeply into her eyes. He seemed to have a thousand things to say, and conveyed them with his eyes alone. There was a gloominess in his gaze that dragged her in.He was extremely grateful to her.Michelle looked at Jonah. He was un
Michelle smiled. She had already texted her father and asked him to process Carol’s retirement.Raymond didn’t know about Jonah and Carol’s relationship yet; if he did, he would probably fire Carol without a second thought.Because of that, Michelle had to deal with it before he could get wind of this.She sat in the ward and waited for her father’s reply.When she checked her phone, she saw that she had received a message from Amber.Amber: [Michelle, I’m getting married, and the wedding’s this Saturday. I hope you’ll be there!]Michelle was taken aback. Was Amber really that desperate to get married? Also, who was her groom?Ever since Amber had shared her philosophy of trying to catch as many men on her web as possible, Michelle’s impression of Amber had turned bad. However, they were still colleagues, and Amber was a hard worker. She was also one of Michelle’s few friends in Genovia, so Michelle decided to attend the wedding.Michelle: [Sure.]Amber sent her a copy of the
On the way, Jonah called Isaac and said, “President Graham, I’ll be back by this afternoon, and I’m bringing my mother along. Is it okay if my mother stays with me at the apartment?”“No, of course not. How are you coming back here? Should I send someone to pick you up?” In truth, Isaac didn’t really want to send someone to pick Jonah up. He just wanted to know how Jonah was coming back, and whether sparks had flown between him and Michelle. He had recently sent someone to look into Jonah’s background, and knew that Carol worked at Top-To-Toe Textiles under the Rayconson Group. Wasn’t it such a fine coincidence?Not only were Michelle and Jonah both from Windmere City, but they were also still linked to each other.“No, there’s no need for that. Someone happened to be coming to Genovia, so they’re bringing us along,” Jonah said.“Man, I’ve really gotta thank whoever’s bringing my head coach back,” Isaac said, pretending to sound grateful.“Thanks, President Graham.”“So, I’ll see
Michelle followed Jonah and Carol into Jonah’s apartment.Once Jonah had gotten Carol settled in her room, he walked into the living room and got Michelle a glass of water. She was about to tell him that she had to hurry home to tidy up a little when Carol came out of her room and said anxiously, “Jonah! I forgot to bring my identity card, even though I remember packing it. Maybe I left it at home somewhere.”“Are you sure? Maybe you should think about it again.”“I’ve already gone through my things several times over. It’s not in my bag or my luggage, so I must’ve left it behind. What am I going to do? I won’t be able to do anything in Genovia without it!”One’s identity card was the only way to verify one’s identity. Carol had just been discharged from the hospital, and it would be inconvenient for her to go for her follow-ups without her identity card.“How about this? If you trust me, you can give me your house keys and I’ll track the identity card down for you. Later, I’ll ha
The following day, Michelle dressed up and drove to Reign Hotel. A banner at the entrance read, “Congratulations to Mr. Wayne Schwartz and Miss Amber Canderson on their wedding!”The wedding was being held on the third floor. Before heading up there, she went to the restroom.“Babe, your skin’s even smoother than a baby’s butt.” A sleazy voice rang out from the corridor between the male and female restrooms.“Mr. Schwartz, it’s your wedding day today. People will make fun of you if someone sees us like this!” This time, a woman spoke. Her tone was flirtatious.The man gave her a sloppy kiss on the face.Michelle snuck a glance at them. She saw that the man was wearing a black suit with a boutonniere. If she was guessing correctly, this was Amber’s husband-to-be, Wayne Schwartz.She deliberately lingered in the restroom so that he wouldn’t see her.She wondered whether to tell Amber about this. The wedding hadn’t even started, yet Wayne was already fooling around with other women
Calvin’s head was cocked in Michelle’s direction as he listened to her speak. After listening to her words, he turned to her and said, “This is a wedding between two people who are using each other. Amber likely knows exactly what an asshole Wayne is, but all she wants is the status and identity of his wife. There’s no point in worrying about her.”Michelle couldn’t help wondering whether the marriage was meant to be a tool for Amber to climb the ladder.“What are you two talking about?” Neil looked at them curiously.“Oh, it’s nothing. Nothing to do with you, anyway.” Calvin was still facing Michelle, and Michelle was still leaning close to him. It looked like their conversation had yet to end.This only upset Neil even more.Though the bride and groom were a couple in name only, they put on a surprisingly good show of looking deeply in love with each other. Amber’s gaze seemed to inadvertently flit toward Calvin, though.Michelle sized Calvin up. There was no denying his handso
Michelle handed her wedding gift to Amber. After that, she said, “I’m gonna go.”“Okay.” Amber was still staring in the direction that Calvin had left.“Do you want to drive?” Michelle waved the keys in Neil’s direction.“You drive! I don’t know the way.” He got into the car with a poker face.He didn’t know the way?Michelle was lost for words.However, she still got into the car and started driving.Neil didn’t say anything, but she could sense a storm that was brewing. He seemed to be angry about something.Then again, it probably had nothing to do with her. She hadn’t done anything to offend him.On the highway, her phone started to ring. It was Jonah. She put her earphones on and answered the call.“Michelle, my mom’s identity card should be on the desk in her room. Once you find it, I’ll pay for the courier,” Jonah said.“It’s fine. It doesn’t cost much.”“Michelle…” “What’s wrong?” Jonah didn’t say anything for a long time after calling her name, so she asked him w
Neil watched as Michelle walked over to the passenger seat, looking cold. He could only unbuckle his seatbelt and get into the driver’s seat. He adjusted the seat.Michelle buckled herself in and put the seat down before stuffing some earplugs into her ears and getting ready to sleep. She turned away from him.Neil merely smiled mockingly at her actions. He had gotten her where it hurt.However, he still didn’t have an answer, which gnawed at him.He knew he wouldn’t be able to get anything else out of her anymore, so he didn’t say anything.When it was almost 5:00 pm, Michelle called Raymond and told him that she would be home in about half an hour. She also told him that Neil was with her.“Neil’s coming, too? That’s great!” Raymond was overjoyed.After hanging up, Michelle fell silent again.“Let’s go to Jonah’s house first. Lead the way,” Neil said calmly.Michelle pretended to be asleep.“What do you think your dad would do if I were to tell him about you and Jonah?”“J
Benjamin walked to her side and suddenly hugged her. It was as if there were thousands of words that could not be said. Jacey did not refute. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. It was as if they had known each other for a long time."Your mother did a good job with this exhibition," Jacey said."It's good. After all, you're an expert in this field," Benjamin said. "Or if you have any requests when you get married, tell my mother and let her customize the most beautiful jewelry for you.""Married?" Jacey didn't understand.She had never thought about marriage. Why did she feel so close to her when Benjamin mentioned it?She still felt quite confused."I'll treat you to a meal later?" Benjamin said. "What do you want to eat?"Jacey's eyes lit up. "Hotpot? How about a hotpot?"Benjamin smiled and said, "I thought you had a profound hobby. This is it."Jacey smiled again.Jacey didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, so she chose the
Kenny smoked as he spoke. He had the look of a veteran in society. It was hard not to believe that he was a nouveau riche who did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates to save money."Sir, you've found the right person. Come and take a look." The workshop owner said. Then, he whispered a few words into Kenny's ear and asked, "Can you accept it?""What's so unacceptable about that? I'm definitely showing it to Party A. These people grew up in the countryside. What kind of milk have they drunk? I can't tell if it's true or not," Kenny said."Alright, alright," the workshop owner said with a smile."Just don't make it obvious. I'll go take a look at the manufacturing workshop." Kenny said.The owner of the workshop was initially quite shy, but Kenny said that he had ordered a lot, so the other party agreed.As soon as he entered the workshop, Jacey secretly turned on the pinhole camera when the workshop owner was not paying attention and filmed the production proce
Jacey felt that under Kenny's serious and unsmiling appearance, there was a soft and warm heart.This note looked like it had been around for a long time. It was unknown how long Kenny searched last night before he found it and gave it to Jacey so easily.Jacey left.However, she did not expect that something would happen on her first day there.She brought a vacuum camera and made her clothes look like rural women's. After finding the milk production point, she said that she wanted to order milk in large quantities because she heard that the milk here was very cheap.The people in the workshop looked at each other and said, "I'm not selling!"The people in the workshop were very smart and vigilant. Their workshop had a fixed delivery channel. This woman was alone and was unlikely to be here to order. They found an excuse and sent Jacey away.No matter how much Jacey dawdled, the other party refused to let her in.For a moment, Jacey didn't know what to do. She was quite depres
Jacey was a little stunned. She really didn't know much about what the parents were talking about.Moreover, she hadn't interacted with Benjamin for a few days. Moreover, when Ashlyn came to visit this time, she didn't say a word about him. It made her feel very uneasy. She even wondered if he didn't mean that at all. It was all her own wishful thinking…For the past few days, Benjamin had not come to look for Jacey. She had not contacted him either.However, a few days later, Jacey received a Whatsapp message from Benjamin. There were many photos. It was a rather high-class living room. There were boxes in the living room. The living room was simple and noble, like a top-notch courtyard house.[This is the showroom and display cabinet for my mother's medieval jewelry. How about letting your mother take a look?] Benjamin said.[Where is this place? This place is so beautiful.][My mother's dowry. The courtyard house in Genovia.] Benjamin said.Jacey thought to herself, "As expec
Today, Benjamin had already returned home."How is it? How's your first time meeting your in-laws alone?" Calvin teased Ashlyn."It's quite good. I'm preparing to hold a medieval jewelry exhibition and then let my employees learn medieval video skills. I said that I wanted to use their jewelry as an exhibition, but they didn't even want the deposit. How generous," Ashlyn said lazily as she leaned against the sofa."It's… it's over?" Calvin looked at Ashlyn and said in surprise.Benjamin sat there and smiled."What else?" Ashlyn asked."What are you going to do this time? Aren't you going to look for your daughter-in-law? Did you see what she looked like?" Calvin poured a cup of tea for Ashlyn.After so many years, Ashlyn still hadn't changed from her usual macho self. In fact, she was even more macho than before. Perhaps Calvin had been the one to deal with everything after marriage, developing Ashlyn's habit of not using her brain.Of course, it only meant that she didn't use
For some reason, Ashlyn felt like crying when she saw this. In the past, these jewelry had traveled to another country. Now, these jewelry were all back with stories.She thought about how the person who owned these jewelry had brought them overseas and brought them back…She felt that the Irving family was worthy of admiration.Linda had gone out at some point. Seeing that Ashlyn was looking at her very seriously, she didn't disturb her.When she came in again, she was carrying a cup of coffee. The fragrant Americano she'd just ordered from the coffee machine on the first floor. It was made from good coffee beans.She handed the coffee to Ashlyn."Have a cup of coffee when you're tired. Anyway, these jewelry don't have long legs. They won't run away on their own," Linda said. "You can come and take a look whenever you want. I've always been here."Only then did Ashlyn feel that she had been watching for an hour or two, but she had always been like a pious primary school student
On Saturday afternoon, Ashlyn drove to Jacey's house, a very simple villa.Ashlyn knew that writers liked to live in such a quiet place because they had inspiration in such a place.Jacey's mother, Linda, was already standing on her steps to welcome her.Linda was dressed in a Chinese-style robe. She looked very ancient, but because she was slender, she looked especially good. She looked like a fairy.Ashlyn was dressed in a very fashionable modern outfit. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, pearl earrings, and earrings. She looked especially round and beautiful. One look and one could tell that she was the kind of person who had never experienced the blow of life."I'm Jacey's mother. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Conrad." Linda reached out and held Isobel's hand. "Jacey said that you're coming to our house to take a look. I am so happy. I specially brought all the jewelry from the other houses here and packed them up. If these jewelry can be displayed in the exhibition and let everyon
"Excuse me, how did you know about me?" Jacey asked."Oh, Benjamin's phone was on the table that day. He went to the washroom and I happened to see the photo album he was looking through. I picked it up and saw these few pieces of jewelry. You know it too. As jewelry makers, we won't let go of those rare jewelry no matter what. I asked Benjamin where these pieces of jewelry came from and he told me about you," Ashlyn said neither servile nor overbearing.She understood a girl's mentality very well. She knew that if the woman found out that the man had taken the initiative to leak her news to her parents, she would be very disgusted and feel passive. Therefore, she did not say that. Instead, she said that she had seen it herself. She even said that Benjamin was looking at these photos at that time.Jacey's heart would probably feel warm. After all, a man was looking at her photo behind her back. She should have a good impression of this man.Jacey really thought so. When she heard A
After Benjamin returned home, he showed Ashlyn the jewelry he had taken for Jacey.Ashlyn was very knowledgeable. One look at this jewelry and she knew that it was priceless.Moreover, the girl wearing the jewelry also had extremely good skin and was extremely delicate.Calvin, who was sitting at the side, also watched.However, Ashlyn didn't just look at the jewelry. She said, "You only bought jewelry. Who is this person wearing jewelry behind you?"Ashlyn asked Benjamin gossipily."Don't ask," Benjamin said.Ashlyn smiled. "You said that you only took photos of the jewelry but didn't take photos of her. Aren't you trying to arouse my curiosity? Now that I'm curious, you're not making a move. However, I've been working on researching National Jewelry recently, so I'm lacking samples in this area. When are you going to ask this girl out? Let me take a closer look. From her appearance, I think she's dressed very well. Moreover, I can see her face from her bone structure. I think
