In the morning, Clarissa hitched a ride with Damien to the company.

He visited the audit department around eleven o’clock.

Since the audit department had glass doors, Clarissa was able to spot him immediately the moment he showed up.

He glanced subconsciously in the direction of her office almost immediately.

Instinctively, Clarissa covered the segment of her face that was visible from her office door with her hand.

After that, she saw Damien and Lucas taking the elevator to the bottom floor.

She didn’t know what on earth the senior management was about to do.

Truthfully speaking, Damien asked Lucas to come along for the final interview of the new finance director.

Once the interview was over, Damien returned to his office. He spotted Madelynn sitting there right away.

“Why wasn’t the door locked?” He frowned instinctively, looking displeased.

Madelynn found the question to be very odd. ‘Is it really necessary for him to keep his guard up against me?’

“Damien, has Grandpa La

    Clarissa thought, 'Madelynn’s probably enticing me to watch the contents inside the USB.’At this point, Clarissa could guess what was in the USB. It was probably a sex scene starring Madelynn and Damien. Obviously, Madelynn was trying to start an argument between the two of them.Knowing that, Clarissa wouldn't just dive straight into her trap.When she got off work, she told Damien all about it."Are you sure you don't want to look into it?""I'm not interested. It's all in the past anyway," Clarissa said with a disinterested tone, looking out of the window.At this moment, Damien's phone rang. He quickly picked it up Clarissa listened to his conversation. Apparently, Damien wanted HR to vacate a position and get ready with the new hire's onboarding process."Is our company hiring new employees?" Clarissa asked after he hung up."Yes, we've hired a new Finance Director.""Who is it?" Clarissa prodded."He’s my underclassman, Ray Conrad. He studied Economics and recently g

    Clarissa didn’t come out for dinner, nor did she open her bedroom door for Damien.She was afraid Damien might notice her unusual behavior and prod further. For someone as sharp as Damien, it wouldn’t be hard for him to spot the reason behind her breakdown tonight.If Damien found out she was sad because of Joseph, she wouldn’t know what he would do to Joseph.If she were to guess, Damien would demand Joseph to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.At this moment, Damien knocked on the door. “Clarissa, I’ll be heading home if you won’t answer the door.”She responded, “Okay.”Hearing her curt reply, Damien could feel his dignity being trampled upon as he smiled awkwardly at Theresa.“I’ll be taking my leave for now.” Damien was a man with pride and power. Never in a million years would he bow down for a woman.So, he took his keys and left.Afterward, Theresa knocked on her door and asked if she was okay.Clarissa didn’t explain much, “I’m fine. You should head to bed early.”

    The next day, Clarissa felt a lot better.“Clary, you have to make it up to Damien, okay? Fate ties you two together, so you have to cherish it,” Theresa said while ladling some porridge into Clarissa’s bowl.“Fate? Seriously, Mom?” When Clarissa heard the word ‘fate’, she couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark. In the first place, the reason she was married to him was because of a mistake.Theresa replied, “Don’t you love your husband? If you do, then stop complaining and listen to me.”“Okay,” Clarissa compromised.Deep down, she knew her marriage with Damien wouldn’t last.“Oh, right, I just remembered. I got a cross for you yesterday. I’ve already given it to Damien. Don’t forget to ask him for it. You can take the opportunity to talk to him too,” Theresa continued, “You can’t expect Damien to put in 100% effort in maintaining your marriage. Love goes both ways, so you’ll have to put in the effort too. That’s how you build a happy family together.”“Is that how you and da

    Damien soon entered the office.His hand was in his pocket, and he was here to take some documents for the meeting.This time, he was having a meeting with the newly-staffed finance department, alongside other departments as support.Even though the company had gone through a reform, Damien still had to clean up the mess Howard left behind and calculate next year’s budget.It seemed the meeting would drag on until midnight.The moment he entered the office, he saw Clarissa standing there with a face filled with tears.“I’m not dead yet. Why are you crying?” he asked. Then, he walked toward Clarissa and wrapped his arms around her shoulders.Clarissa shoved his hand away.“I can’t believe you’re the one behind this!” Clarissa exclaimed.At first, Damien thought Madelynn had compressed the video and sent it to Clarissa through Whatsapp.“Yeah, so what?” Damien didn’t like her demeaning tone one bit.“How dare you!”“Like I say, so what?” While speaking, he headed to his desk

    An annoyed Damien lit up a cigarette during the meeting.Noticing that Damien was in a bad mood, Ray asked, “Damien, do you want to proceed with the meeting tomorrow?”“It’s fine, we can continue.”Ray broke down the steps needed to reform the finance department while providing new guidelines for other departments to follow.When everyone got off work, the entire company had already known about Clarissa and Damien’s argument.That was because Clarissa was shouting very loudly in the office during the fight.Those who managed to eavesdrop on their conversation said that Clarissa was threatening Damien with a divorce.As for the exact details, nobody knew about it.It was the first time in history that someone dared to confront Damien in a rude manner, in his own office to boot.Lily: [Clarissa, how bold of you to strike an argument with President Lawrence! Why did you threaten to file for a divorce?]Still at work, Clarissa ignored the message. After all, it was a matter of ti

    Later that night.Joseph and Nicole’s photographs were leaked to the media outlets, though their faces were blurred. Since the media outlets couldn’t make it too obvious, their full names were omitted as well.Almost everyone on social media was talking about that incident.A lot of them were demanding for the full video with a clear view of their faces.At first, Clarissa had planned to call Joseph to offer words of comfort to him.However, she knew Joseph wouldn’t be in a good mood now after all this had happened. It would be better if she feigned ignorance about the whole situation.Clarissa couldn’t understand why Damien could be so heartless. How could he tarnish someone's reputation simply because he felt like it? Aside from this, Damien was talking about something else the other day when she confronted him about Joseph. What was that?Thinking about it alone made Clarissa’s skin crawl.The next few days, she didn’t have any contact with Damien at all.Soon, the holidays

    Even though it was the holidays, Uncle Pete still had to work. So, Aunt Cindy and Connie were the only ones at home.When Cindy saw Clarissa and her mother, her reaction was the same as Connie’s. They were both emotionless.Deep down, Clarissa felt bad for her mother. She had been bedridden for almost six years. All this while, Theresa couldn’t visit her mother at all.When Grandma saw Theresa, they hugged each other and cried out loud. It was apparent that the affection they shared for each other was mutual.Cindy glared at Grandma. Clarissa knew exactly what she meant by that look. She was warning Grandma to choose her words wisely.Since Grandma depended on Peter and Cindy for a living, she was terrified of Cindy. Refusing to say anything, Grandma only sobbed in silence.Looking closely, Theresa realized that there were bedsores on her mother’s back. On top of that, the bedsheet was extremely filthy.“Mom, I’ll clean the bed sheets for you,” Theresa said.Knowing that Theres

    Clarissa sighed deeply the moment she left her uncle’s house.The air there was so tense, she found it hard to breathe.As she walked slowly, Clarissa recalled her argument with Damien and Joseph.After she walked past a 24-hour convenience store, she looked inside and saw a familiar figure buying a pack of cigarettes. The man looked a lot like Joseph.She stood outside the convenience store, and waited for him to come out.The man looked back just as he lit up a cigarette.Their eyes met and she was right. That man was indeed Joseph!It was quite an awkward encounter, because Clarissa still felt bad for Joseph. After all, he wouldn’t have fallen into Nicole’s trap if it wasn’t for Clarissa.“Mr. Moore? Why are you here?” Clarissa asked.“I’m… I’m here for a business trip,” Joseph replied awkwardly.Clarissa could sense that he escaped town on purpose.Out of all the districts in Genovia, Pentatone County had the least population and was the most underdeveloped district.

    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.
