Jacob took out his phone and opened the front camera, holding it up in front of Natasha to help her.He kept looking down at her and said, "You look so beautiful. Who are you dressing up for?""For myself. I find it pleasing." She didn't fall for his trick.After finishing her hair, she squinted her eyes and said, "If you're not busy, I'll leave and won't disturb your work."With that, she turned around, but Jacob grabbed her hand. His grip was not forceful, but it was firm enough to hold her in place, making it difficult for her to move."I'm leaving," she said, her back facing him.With a bit of force, he pulled her back to face him. She was forced to lean against his chest, and then, Jacob lowered his head and kissed her. Her heart was racing and she kept her eyes open and thought about how rare it was for someone like him, with his family background and looks, not to have dated before.Gradually, she closed her eyes.After the kiss, Jacob released Natasha and looked at her.
They chatted for about five minutes, and Natasha hung up the phone, feeling increasingly annoyed.Seeing Jacob looking down at his phone next to her, she casually asked, "What are you looking at?"Glancing at his phone, she suddenly burst into laughter, unable to contain herself.He was calculating, 45 multiplied by 60, multiplied by 9000..."What are you calculating?" Natasha asked Jacob."I'm calculating the box office," Jacob suddenly looked very innocent, even a bit silly and cute."Can you actually calculate it? Besides, you could just use a calculator," Natasha said.Jacob looked like he saw a primitive man. "You can calculate it in your head?"Natasha tried to hold back her laughter, but she couldn't. She covered her face and laughed on the sofa.He couldn't calculate the box office. It was so amusing to Natasha. How could someone who couldn't do simple calculations run a company?She used to think he was quite ignorant occasionally, but never had she seen him so ignor
"That's no problem. It will just be us young people at the villa. The elders know we'll be having fun until late, so they won't come. I guess they've already sent their gifts," Jacob thought about it, but he wasn't too picky. Besides, Joshua and Zoe had broken up, and now Zoe was with Herald. It's not like they would never meet again in their lifetime."I'll ask Zoe," Herald also wanted Joshua to see that he and Zoe were together now."That settles it then. Come to my place at 5:30 in the evening?" Jacob looked at Natasha and Herald, asking.At the same time, in a hotel.A sharp slap echoed as Henry's hand landed on Wendy's face."You asked me to start shooting, and I did. You had someone concoct a script for me. I thought it was a hot topic recently, so we split the investment fifty-fifty, and you didn't take a salary. You'd get forty percent of the income, and I thought it was a surefire deal. But I never expected that this film wouldn't be released! Are you a jinx? You left for
Since leaving Philip, Wendy's financial situation has been getting tighter. Asking Zoe for money wasn’t a solution, and besides, Zoe always treated her with indifference. She wanted to earn some money on her own and have some financial freedom. But she didn't expect that the limited release of the film would cause all her money to go down the drain. How could she not feel heartbroken?She thought about it, either the Lawrance family was behind this or it was Natasha's doing. Why did all the good things go to Sylvia?Wendy was getting a bit anxious and desperate. She absolutely couldn't let them benefit from this.Thinking this way, she called Zoe, "Where are you?""I'm on set, going to celebrate someone's birthday in the afternoon," Zoe said.Herald had told her that he was going to celebrate Jordan’s birthday in the afternoon. Originally, Zoe didn't want to go because if she went to celebrate his birthday, she would inevitably meet Joshua. Although they had parted ways and grown
Everyone exchanged knowing glances with Jordan, as if saying, "Not bad, you succeeded."Afterward, Herald and Zoe also arrived. They seemed like a couple but also appeared a bit awkward, as if they needed a little push."I invited them. It's all young people, let's liven things up," Jordan said before sitting on the sofa.Joshua remained sitting on a sofa far away from Zoe, trying to avoid any suspicion. He felt Jordan's behavior was inappropriate, but apparently, Jordan didn't see it that way. Perhaps he had no worries about exes or couldn't understand, or maybe he was just straightforward and didn't consider it a big deal.Sylvia glanced at Joshua and hurriedly said, "Great! Joshua, have you finished ordering? Check what Zoe likes to eat and order for her."To be honest, Joshua couldn't remember what Zoe liked to eat these days. He handed his phone to Sylvia and said, "You choose.""Then, I can order a lot, right? Don't worry about the money! What's your payment password again?
"Mom, leave now!" Zoe pushed Wendy, wanting her to leave.Wendy reached out her hand. "Money. One hundred million. Give it to me!""I don’t have it. I really don’t! I only have 20 million dollars with me. I'll give it all to you." Zoe wanted to send her mother away as soon as possible.Sylvia knew that Zoe had no money. She also hated Zoe's mother. She did not know why there were still mothers who took advantage of their daughters in this huge world, where all kinds of strange things happen.In order to make Wendy leave as soon as possible and give Jacob a harmonious birthday party, Sylvia had a plan. She covered her stomach and pretended to feel uncomfortable. "My stomach, my stomach…"Joshua quickly helped Sylvia up. "What's wrong?"He didn't know that she was pretending. He thought that it was Wendy who had said those words just now. Sylvia was in a bad mood, and she was in a bad mood. In addition, she had just hung something up and damaged the baby's qi. Joshua really wanted
Now that she was pregnant, she felt that this juncture was just right.Joshua did not explain. It was useless to explain.Everyone thought that Joshua had hit Zoe on purpose. Only Joshua knew, and even if he didn't know, Sylvia knew.Of course, Jacob, who was standing opposite her, could also tell. He knew that his brother was unlikely to hit anyone, let alone a woman. He didn't know if Sylvia really couldn't tell or if she took advantage of this opportunity with a purpose. If she really took advantage of this opportunity, she was really a woman with an extremely high IQ. In order to make her man fall head over heels for her, she cleverly took advantage of this opportunity to play Joshua in her hands.This sister-in-law was really not simple.He hoped that she would never betray Joshua for the rest of her life. If she did, Joshua might even help her count the money.It should be said that ordinary people would not be able to do such a thing. At the very least, Natasha would defin
To Hugo, this was his first time coming to the mountain villa. He felt that this place was quite novel. Moreover, Celeste had given him and Isobel the largest room. Celeste was the owner of this house and was very familiar with the rooms.He had no interest in other people's scheming and thought that it was a waste of time.Looking out of the window, he could see the bright moon. It was different from the hot and dry seasons in Deltz. The four seasons here were distinct, which indeed made Hugo feel relaxed and happy. He even had the thought of staying in Merania."Why don't we call our daughter Yvette?" Hugo turned around and said to Isobel, who was laying the blanket.Their daughter had never been named. In the beginning, she had given many names, but Hugo was not satisfied. He felt that his daughter deserved a better name, so even though she had been born a few months ago, she had not given a good name.The moment he saw the moon, the name suddenly appeared in his mind.Isobel
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
