While the three were busy talking, Damien’s driver entered.“Hello, Mrs. Lawrence. I’m here to help you move.”Clarissa looked around for things to give Rem and Lisa.With how soon she was leaving for Genovia and teaching in the University of Genovia, everything felt like a surreal dream.Bethany came to visit Clarissa afterwards, with the excuse to pass some things to Mrs. Faber.Damien was at home when Bethany dropped by, but he went upstairs and gave them privacy.The happiest person in this entire ordeal was, of course, Neil.Even then, Mrs. Faber thought that Clarissa was embarrassed to apologize to her and used Bethany as an excuse to make it up to her. Little did Mrs. Faber know, Bethany was aiming to be her daughter-in-law and was trying to bond with her.“Text Caleb and tell him that I bought clothes for his mother.” Bethany nudged Clarissa’s elbow.“Why not do it yourself?”“I don’t have his number!”Just as Clarissa was about to say something, Bethany interrupted,
Upon seeing the divorce certificates, Chanel was filled with determination.“Let’s go with them too, Clarissa,” Bethany suggested.Knowing full well how manipulative Chanel was, Clarissa didn’t hesitate to agree.When Damien and Chanel were handling Chandler, Clarissa and Bethany stayed in the car.Chanel, for her part, tried her hardest to drag the time as long as she could. She didn’t want Damien to remarry Clarissa at any cost.Still, she was well aware of the two’s history together. Despite her efforts, they would eventually remarry, no matter the circumstances.After the visit with Lucy was over, Chanel returned to Florin.Damien then sent Bethany back home.When they finally reached home, Clarissa was exhausted. She wasn’t too concerned about getting remarried immediately.Surprisingly, Damien didn’t protest and went along with her.“I have to go to the university tomorrow. Why don’t we get it done on Friday instead? Then we can grab lunch together,” Clarissa suggested.
After that talk, Iris took Connie back home.It was Connie’s first time being in a mansion. She was electrified by its magnificence and grandeur.“This is your grandfather,” Iris said as she pointed at Victor, who was bedridden.Iris also bought branded clothes for Connie to match Connie’s new status.“Your daughter’s here, so you may say your final wishes now, Dad,” Iris said to Victor.But Victor was staring at Connie.“Grandpa!” Connie exclaimed in a melancholy tone, rushing to Victor.She was an actress, after all. Putting on a charade came naturally to her.She knelt down by the bed and continued somberly, “It’s all my fault! I should have visited you earlier.”Victor remained in the same position, and his expression didn’t change at all. After a while, he finally lifted his fingers weakly and pointed shakily to a place upstairs.If it weren’t for the money, Victor would’ve died a long time ago.Later, Iris brought Connie to the attic.There, Connie saw a woman sitti
The real Iris touched Connie's face and mumbled, “This… This is my daughter?”“Yes, Mom. Aunt found me recently.”“Her?” The real Iris was in doubt. “She’s not that kind.”The fake Iris sneered. “That’s right, Sister. I’m not that kind. The reason I’m doing this is because I needed the money from Dad.”“Now that your daughter’s back, I’ll have Helen clean up the room and you can visit Dad.”“Dad, Dad…” The real Iris began repeating words.She had been in the same house as her father, but she had never once seen him.Just then, she sprung out of her bed and ran towards the door.All these years, she thought he and her daughter were dead.However, she felt strange when she saw Connie. For some reason, she didn’t feel the connection between a mother and a daughter.Even so, she was excited to see her father.The fake Iris let out a mischievous smile from behind.Meanwhile, the real Iris saw her father in bed and started shaking him. “Dad! Dad…”He had grown so much older sinc
Victor started crying when he saw Clarissa’s picture. This was his first time seeing her after twenty long years.By now, George could already guess what Connie, the sudden distant relative, was here for.It was then when he came to a decision: he had to bring Clarissa here and clarify everything.Previously, George visited Victor once every two months. For the past few weeks, however, he had been dropping by very frequently.As he had expected, Victor passed him a note when Iris went out. Victor wanted George to find Clarissa, the real daughter.George left without hesitation.He texted Clarissa some time later, and discovered that she was currently at the University of Genovia.“Clarissa, your grandfather wants to see you.” George then passed her the note from Victor. “I also met a girl in Victor’s house the other day. I think she was pretending to be you so she and Iris can get the money off him.”Clarissa gritted her teeth.She had been having the same nightmare over and o
Clarissa was defeated. “If that’s what’s bothering you, we can get remarried first.”Damien staunchly ignored her, and went downstairs without saying a word.He had no idea that Clarissa was already getting her visa.Just then, George texted Clarissa again. [Miss Johnson, I heard Iris will be going on a trip with that girl. I can arrange a meet-up between you and Victor, but you have to come here quickly.]“I’ll try,” Clarissa replied.“What about Charles? Did you tell him about what happened? He’s still single, and he deserves to know,” Clarissa added.“He’s disappeared for a long time. Nobody knows where he went, or where he is.”Iris ruined Clarissa’s family, and she couldn’t do anything about it as she was powerless back then.Now, however, Clarissa was determined to get her revenge and rescue her mother.Clarissa sent George a text.[George, can you help my mother to get her visa? I’ll definitely save her!] “Clarissa, your mother’s visa is being used by Iris. Technical
Clarissa was surprised to see Damien holding back his anger. At that, she felt that she shouldn’t be so aggressive.She leaned towards him and whispered into his ears, “Hubby, I’ll be back in a week. You’ll know where I’ll be anyways! You can tag along if you want too.”Her hands began stroking his chest. “Please…?”That softened Damien’s heart and reignited his desires at the same time.He turned to her. “Fine, but be back within a week! And don’t bring your mom with you!”“So, you agree?” Clarissa looked at Damien with excitement.“Yes,” Damien said, finally relenting..There were two people that Clarissa would show her childish side to. The first was Theresa, and the second was Damien.Sometimes, however, she would show it when she was with Seth. That was how she could talk comfortably with him.Clarissa thought that it was because he was her psychologist, and it was how they created their therapeutic bond.She was planning to leave on Friday, and so took a week-long lea
George arrived home when Clarissa and Seth reached Seth’s house.Seth brought Clarissa into a cozy room, but she was experiencing jet lag and couldn’t sleep. She was nervous as she was about to meet her mother, and that might change her future forever.Anyhow, she stayed awake the entire night.The next day, she went to Victor’s house together with George and Seth.“This is my son and my daughter-in-law, Betty,” George told the butler.The servant, Mrs. Dane, secretly took a picture of them when Clarissa left for the kitchen.Clarissa couldn’t stop crying when she saw Victor. She had dreamt of meeting him since forever.Victor, on the other hand, was equally excited.Then, he took out a piece of paper from under his pillow.“The key is with Charles, but he doesn’t know what it’s for.”That was a smart move from Victor, as Charles would only pass the key to his own daughter.That meant only the daughter and Charles could get the money out.After that, Victor typed a bunch of
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
