Meanwhile, Clarissa just ate her dinner quietly downstairs.

“Please leave some food for him,” she said to Mrs. Faber.

Thanks to Damien’s unprecedented rage, Clarissa’s ecstatic mood was affected.

In order to cheer her up, Grandpa Lawrence decided to chat with her.

During the conversation, Clarissa did her best to keep her spirits up and suppress her high strung emotions.

After dinner, Clarissa received a Whatsapp message from Rebecca.

Rebecca: [I just sent my resume to the HR department of New East Corporation. The position I’m applying for is the finance director.]

Clarissa: [Really?]

Truthfully speaking, when Clarissa heard the news, she was very happy for her friend. Rebecca was the perfect candidate who could take over Howard’s position as the finance director.

Rebecca: [Yeah. Joseph was the one who told me to apply for this position. Originally, I shouldn’t be considering his offer. But since the company is New East Corporation, I might as well do him this favor and have

    ”A-Are you for real?!” Luke jumped out of his chair and quickly approached Damien.“Yes.”“Do you have the guts to draw up a contract and let me sign it?” Luke was afraid that the house would be nothing but an empty promise.“There’s no need for that. I’ll have my assistant pass you the keys.” After that, Damien turned around and left the ward to make a phone call.Luke was stunned to hear those words. ‘I wasn’t able to extort money from him before, so why did he change his mind this time?’Soon, Damien re-entered the ward and said, “My assistant will be here shortly with the keys.”Luke was surprised once again. He had a feeling that this was a dream come true.On the other hand, Theresa felt deeply anxious. She told Damien, “You don’t have to do this!”“It’s nothing,” he replied.Clarissa thought, ‘What on earth is Damien thinking? Is he trying to show Mom he’s a great son-in-law?’The cost for a performance like that was too big, wasn’t it? To think that he had bought two

    By the time Damien went upstairs, Clarissa was already leaning against the bedpost while reading a book.She snuck a peek in his direction. His mood hadn’t improved at all over the past few days.“Why are you in such a bad mood lately?”After Damien got into the bed, Clarissa scooted over and stared into his eyes as she asked that question.In the past, Damien assumed the reason she kept staring at his eyes was because she loved him. Now, however, he knew she was desperately trying to find anything that resembled Steven within him.“Why do you keep staring at my eyes?” he chided.“I…” Clarissa was speechless. She couldn’t say anything at all.Damien quickly pinned her down with his weight. After he turned off the lights, various images of Clarissa popped up in front of his eyes. She would always stare into his eyes. When she woke up, she would request clam chowder for breakfast. Her favorite dish to make so far was the shepherd’s pie. She would also imagine that Damien only fell

    Grandpa Lawrence happened to be painting a traditional painting in his room, since it was still early in the morning.“Grandpa Lawrence, I’m here to greet you,” Madelynn said.“Oh. You’re here, Maddie? Have fun chatting with Damien in the living room. I won’t be joining you youngsters,” Grandpa Lawrence said with a smile.“Aww, Grandpa Lawrence! There’s no need to be a stranger! To tell you the truth, the reason I came here today is because I’m trying to convince Damien to invest in my movie, but he turned me down.” Madelynn pretended to look very disappointed.“Are you trying to get me to help you out?” Grandpa Lawrence’s smile widened.“No, I don’t want to force you into a difficult spot,” Madelynn replied with a smile. She noticed a bottle of pills sitting on the desk near Grandpa Lawrence. The bottle was labeled Betaloc.Just like any other elderly person, Grandpa Lawrence relied on medicine to extend his lifespan.Since Madelynn was a seasoned actress, she knew a lot of thi

Madelynn dropped by the villa at that time.Clarissa frowned slightly. Nonetheless, she kept her guard up.“He’s gone to a meeting with his client. Something about a project,” Clarissa said to Madelynn, since she knew the latter was here to look for Damien.“Oh, is that so? I’ll call him later.”“Didn’t you call him in advance?” Clarissa didn’t want to seem rude by kicking Madelynn out of the mansion straight away, so she had no choice but to talk to Madelynn.“What about Grandpa Lawrence? I’ll go say hi,” Madelynn continued. “He only takes his daily nap after lunch, after all.”‘Why would Madelynn go to Grandpa’s room?’Suspicious, Clarissa decided to go after Madelynn.Madelynn happened to be clutching a cu

    On Monday, Clarissa’s desk phone started ringing loudly in the audit department. It was a call from Damien.“Drop by my office. Bring your identification card with you.”Clarissa thought, ‘Why did he come looking for me on a Monday morning? Is he planning to divorce me?’Damien’s legal director was also in the office. He was busy filing the documents, which included property ownership and countless other documents.“Her name is already listed in the deed of the property in Etheria. List her name on the rest of the documents,” Damien commanded the legal director.“Yes, sir. The contract’s already done. All I need is Mrs. Lawrence’s signature. I’ll take her identification card to handle the rest of the process,” the legal director replied.Clarissa looked very confused. “What?”“By the way, make sure to spread all of this to the rest of the company so that the rumors of Clarissa marrying for the sake of a contract will be dispelled.

He kicked the door close, and then threw her onto the bed. Then, he pinned her down eagerly.“I have dark rings under my eyes,” Clarissa mumbled from beneath his weight.“So?” Damien stared at her while breathing heavily.“Please stop torturing me till late hours every night. I have a career to maintain,” Clarissa retorted.“I didn’t bring any condoms with me today,” Damien whispered into her ear.

    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

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.
