Michelle knew Neil’s claim of retrieving an order in Windmere City was just an excuse to see her. When he was here, he did not mention a word of the so-called order. Evidently, he had forgotten entirely about his main purpose in going to Windmere City.Michelle called Raymond’s subsidiary company and requested another batch of pearl necklaces, around 200. She had met Celestine before, and knew that the latter was a client with a solid background. If Michelle prepared an additional batch, she would leave a good impression on Celestine, which could strengthen their partnership in the future. Not only would this partnership benefit New East, but it would also benefit Rayconson Group’s name as well. After all, Celestine’s designs were exported to other countries.Michelle had already sent a voice message to Calvin, informing him about her long-term plan with their mutual client. After Calvin exposed Neil’s lie, he played the audio clip to him as evidence.“As expected of Michelle! If it
When Raymond noticed that Michelle had gotten off the car, he asked anxiously, “My dear, what’s wrong? Why did you come back? Where’s the driver?”“Dad, I don’t feel too good today. My body’s aching, so I’m resting at home today.” While pressing her forehead with her fingers, Michelle walked straight to her room.“Alright. I’ll inform Neil about it.” After that, Raymond made a phone call to Neil.“Neil, the order’s on the way to Genovia, but Michelle won’t be going there today. She told me she’s having a terrible headache. She’s resting in her room right now.”“She’s not coming to Genovia?”“Yes, I saw her massaging her head just now. She looked pale,” Raymond said.“Okay. Right, I have something to tell you. Feel free to pursue Merrilyn if you want to,” Neil said.Raymond was taken aback by Neil’s sudden words. He didn’t know what to say. All these years, Raymond suppressed his feelings for Merrilyn because of Michelle. As a fellow businesswoman, Merrilyn understood Raymond’s s
Neil turned, and saw the pillow in Michelle’s arms. That was the pillow he had used the other night.“Who are you hugging to sleep, huh?” Neil asked with a smile.“This is just a bolster, nothing more,” Michelle retorted.“You don’t have to use that bolster anymore. I’m spending the night here today,” Neil whispered into Michelle’s ears.“Go away,” Michelle said coyly.“I don’t have anywhere to go. Where do you think I should go?” he asked Michelle.At first, Michelle wasn’t facing him. She wanted to turn over to argue with him, but the moment she looked at him, he trapped her with yet another kiss. Neil’s kiss was like poison ensnaring her senses. Unable to resist his charm, Michelle wrapped her arms around his neck. Then, she sat up and prepared to go downstairs for dinner.Neil held Michelle’s hand and headed to the dining room.A few days had passed since Raymond last saw Neil, so he was overjoyed to see Neil again. When Raymond thought about Neil’s blessing for his relatio
When they went back to Neil’s place, Neil placed Michelle’s luggage in the room she used to stay in. All this while, Neil had been living in Michelle’s room alone. He would only spend a brief time in his room. The moment Michelle settled in, he felt relieved. The first few days she left, his heart was completely empty. The house felt like a hollow space to him ever since she left.“You can shower if you want,” he said, supporting Michelle’s elbow as they walked.After Michelle finished showering, she lay on the bed, looking exhausted.Neil lay beside her and rested for a while.“Why are you so tired? How are we supposed to do other things if you’re so tired?”“I slept too much yesterday afternoon. Then you screwed me until midnight, and I couldn’t sleep after that. We even traveled the whole day today. Of course I’m tired.”After saying that, Michelle turned away, her back facing Neil.Last night, Neil did what he did best yesterday night. It was so intense that Michelle was s
Jonah listened to Raymond’s rants without saying a single word. After he was done, Jonah asked, “What? Has Michelle come back to Genovia?”“Yes! You should cut off all contact with Michelle from now on. I’ve mailed your parcel back to you.” Then, Raymond hung up the phone angrily.Listening to the beeping sound from the receiver, Jonah thought, ‘Michelle didn’t even receive the key before coming to Genovia. Does that mean she didn’t clean up my house? She’s the one who asked me to mail the key to her. Why did she leave for Genovia before cleaning up the mess?’‘There is only one possibility. Neil must’ve forced Michelle to leave with him before she has the chance to retrieve the key. That bastard! He wants me to clean up the mess just to exert dominance over me! What a scheming bastard!’Jonah felt that Neil was challenging his boundaries, humiliating him time and again.Coincidentally, Carol wanted Jonah to settle some issues that arose from her insurance policy at the Social Sec
The match between The Nixes and the Graham Basketball Team reached the front page of news outlets featuring sports. For basketball fans, this match was definitely something to be reckoned with. Who would win? Louis, a foreign coach, or Jonah, the local basketball star? The match would put Jonah, a local talent, to test as well. The match at Ocean City didn’t count as Jonah wasn’t the team’s coach for long, so it didn’t garner too much attention from the public. This time, the match was definitely a test of strengths from both teams.Calvin informed Neil about Jonah’s challenge, to which Neil replied with a sarcastic tone, “Let him fight a losing battle! I won’t stop him!”“You’re the one who instigated this entire fiasco, aren’t you? Neil, why do you feel the need to prove yourself? It’s obvious he isn’t your enemy, so why are you still making things difficult for Jonah?” Calvin was quick to expose Neil.Neil snorted. He flipped to the end of Jonah’s picture album and saw a sentence
Neil looked at the match with a wide smile, but Michelle couldn't help but worry about the results.Standing at the sidelines, Jonah was coaching his team or changing his team mates. When Louis noticed Jonah's battle spirit, the Graham Basketball Team was pumped to win the match. The audience watched the match with excitement. After all, it wasn't everyday that they could watch a high-level match like this.Michelle didn't know that Jonah would be fired if he lost this match. Deep down, she hoped Jonah would win this match. After all, he had lost far too much. Sitting beside Michelle, Neil folded his arms in front of his chest as he watched the match with a calm demeanour.Calvin didn't attend the match today.Soon, the basketball match reached a stalemate. When the match was given overtime, everyone watched on with their backs straightened with anxiety. Everyone was discussing Jonah's performance. They were astonished to see that he was almost on the same level with a world-reno
Michelle was preoccupied with her thoughts when the door swung open, and Jonah walked out of the room. When he saw Michelle eavesdropping on their conversation outside, he closed the door slowly and didn’t say anything more.Michelle shot Jonah an apologetic look, but Jonah merely glanced briefly at her and turned to leave.Michelle clenched her fists tightly.Suddenly, Neil’s voice echoed from inside the room. “I won’t look into the matter where you spread scandals around anymore.”“President Lawrence, I wouldn’t dare to do anything that’s against your wishes. No matter how much I value Jonah, a promise is still a promise. I still let him go in the end, didn’t I? I bet he will be scouted by a lot of basketball teams after this. After all, he’s bound to be famous after this match with The Nixes,” Isaac said.“Well, we’re not so sure about that,” Neil said calmly.Isaac revealed a shocked expression. “I see. You’re trying to kick Jonah out of Genovia.”When Michelle heard that,
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
