Clarissa fantasized about Damien, but she never had hopes about this marriage.She would move out if he wanted her to, and she would not feel like she was at a loss.Clarissa also specially sent a WhatsApp message to Luke. [ Look at what you’ve done! Damien took out his anger on me and kicked me out because you tried to extort him. What do you think I’m worth to him? He’ll only give me some change when he’s happy. I don’t even dare to ask him for money, yet you went to extort him?! ]Clarissa did this to dispel Luke’s idea of continuing to extort Damien and to warn him that Damien was not one to be trifled with.Luke got angry when he saw this message.He could tell that Damien was not a good-natured person nor a fool.“How heartless!” Luke muttered.“Who?” Joseph asked.Luke was the driver of the Moore family and was sending Joseph to the accounting firm.Joseph had his own firm.“Damien Lawrence. He kicked Clarissa out!”“Why?”“I don’t know. He probably just likes to b
Damien ignored Clarissa and wanted to enter the elevator, but Clarissa stopped him.“President Lawrence.”“What?” The elevator door closed again, and Damien did not get on the elevator.“Just a moment.” After speaking, Clarissa rummaged through her bag.She had everything in her canvas bag – a purse, books, tissues, and the small umbrella that took up so little space it was not easy to find.Clarissa could not find the umbrella, so she began to feel apologetic and smiled sheepishly at Damien.“You just finished working overtime?” Damien frowned slightly at her.Damien rarely smiled. Most of the time, his face was expressionless.“Mhmm. Found it!” After that, Clarissa took out the umbrella as if she was doing a magic trick. “President Lawrence, I’ll give you an umbrella, so you won’t catch a cold.”Damien stared at the umbrella and did not take it over. “What’s this?”He thought she was just trying to use an umbrella to please him.After all, as her boss, his attitude determi
Clarissa offended her boss and could not do anything about it.She could only make it up by being more diligent and careful so that Howard would not find a reason to fire her.However, there was one thing that Clarissa did every night, which was to send a WhatsApp message to Damien’s grandfather.Clarissa had been messaging Damien’s grandfather every day since she moved out of the Lawrences’ villa.She sent him a lot of photos of South City, where she was supposedly on a business trip.Damien’s grandfather asked her when she would be back, and she replied. [ Grandpa, the accounts here are very complicated. It might take a while. ][ Grandpa: I miss you! ]Seeing these words that Damien’s grandfather sent her, Clarissa teared up.Her parents used to say this to her.No one said this to Clarissa in a long time.Although Clarissa had many friends and classmates, friendship could not compare to familial love.Clarissa replied. [ I miss you too, Grandpa! ]Damien’s grandfather t
Damien went to a meeting today and happened to pass by Danning Street in the afternoon.He clearly remembered that Zach Stevens lived on Danning Street.Damien told himself, ‘He’s just Clarissa’s first love. He has nothing to do with me, so why should I bother to go to his house?’However, Damien still could not control his curiosity. He asked the driver to stop the car and went to Zach’s house alone.Zach’s house address was written on the title page of his diary.Damien did not know if he cared too much or if he had such a good memory that he could remember Zach’s address so clearly.A middle-aged woman came to open the door for him.“Is this Zach Stevens’ house?” Damien asked.“Yes, and you are…?”“I was Zach’s partner when he was teaching. You can call me Mr. Sanders. I wanted to sponsor computers for Zach’s school, but Zach got into an unfortunate accident,” Damien said.“Mr. Sanders, please come in!” Zach’s mother, Kylie Thompson, quickly pulled Damien’s arm into the ho
Clarissa was very happy and excited after finalizing this matter.It was the first time that Clarissa did this kind of business that was more than 100,000 dollars, so she was a little nervous.Clarissa was afraid that she would encounter scammers or gangsters, so she asked Lily to go with her.Lily did not need to lay low anymore, so she was quite lofty.She agreed to Clarissa’s request without hesitation.“Actually, it’s better to get another man to accompany us for this kind of thing. It’s best if you get President Lawrence to go with you. Who would dare to lie to him? No one would have the balls to do so!” Lily ate some snacks while she talked to Clarissa.“It’s not that simple. We’re not on good terms now. Besides, this has to do with my ex-boyfriend. I’ll be out of my mind to ask him to come with me,” Clarissa said.“Why did you argue with him? You saw how his random act of liking your post changed our situation so drastically. Everyone just wants to suck up to this man, bu
On Sunday at 10 o’clock in the morning, Landon drove his Audi and picked up Lily and Clarissa from their dorms.The factory was located in the Zealand Economic Development Zone, which basically consisted of factories. It was a vast area and was sparsely populated.They arrived at one o'clock in the afternoon.The factory manager, Mr. Sullivan, welcomed them and showed them around the workshop. He even introduced the processes in detail.“Will you ship the computers to Eastfield?” Clarissa asked.“Yes. The factory has a very complete logistics system. You can rest assured, Ms. Johnson.”Clarissa nodded.What Clarissa did not know was that at this time, Damien was sitting in the factory manager’s room, watching the surveillance footage of the whole factory.As soon as Clarissa and her friends entered the factory, Damien spotted them.When Damien saw Landon with Clarissa, he thought to himself, ‘My wife sure is a “heartthrob”! She always has different men around her anytime, anyw
Soon after, Clarissa received Kylie’s WhatsApp message. [ Yes, that’s him. He’s quite handsome! ]Clarissa frowned slightly and thought, ‘It looks like Damien went to Zach’s house. How did he find out about Zach?’She suddenly thought of the diary. Did Damien read it?Was it the day she asked Damien to find her ID?Clarissa quickly sent a WhatsApp message to Mrs. Faber. [ Mrs. Faber, did you find my ID in my suitcase that day? ]Before Mrs. Faber replied, Damien came over.“President Lawrence, Ms. Johnson here wants to discuss the price with you. She wants to order 200 units,” Mr. Sullivan said.“Oh? It turns out that she’s an employee of my company. Why do you want 200 computers?” Damien smiled calmly with a meaningful look in his eyes. However, no one understood it.Lily shivered with fright.Landon also did not know what Damien was up to.He thought that Damien did not want his subordinates to know that they knew each other.Damien wanted to get more information from Land
Clarissa, Lily, and Landon went back after settling this matter.Clarissa was afraid to contact Damien because she did not know how many secrets she would reveal when talking to him.After Damien returned home, Mrs. Faber told him that Clarissa messaged her.Damien looked at the time of the message and said coldly, “She’s quick to catch on. No wonder she’s so frank.”A week later, Damien’s secretary personally sent Clarissa a donation certificate.[ Mr. Damien Lawrence and Ms. Clarissa Johnson,The 200 computers you donated to Sunshine Elementary School have been distributed to the students.We are extremely grateful for your kindness! ]Clarissa looked at this certificate with mixed feelings. Initially, she wanted Zach’s name to be next to hers, but now, it became Damien’s name.Everyone was very curious when they saw Damien’s secretary deliver the certificate in person, so they all gathered around to see what it was.When they saw the words, “Mr. Damien Lawrence and Ms. Cla
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
