The next day, Clarissa deliberately went home early. Bethany was already there, and she had brought Clarissa a lot of goodies.When Clarissa saw her long-time best friend acting so awkwardly, she felt she shouldn’t have slapped Bethany. However, it seemed too much to say sorry between good friends.So, she simply asked Bethany, “You’re here?”“Yeah,” Bethany sounded a little reluctant.“Here to change Caleb’s impression of you and leave a good impression?” Clarissa teased Bethany on purpose.Bethany felt a little embarrassed. Her main reason for coming here was for Caleb, but she also wanted to make up with Clarissa. After all, they had been friends for many years.“Can’t I come for you?” Bethany grumbled, “And as for that kid, you’re gonna regret it in the future.”“Not necessarily. You don’t have kids yet, so you don’t understand. Kids are angels. They’re still a sheet of blank paper. He’ll eventually become whatever you draw on it. I’m sure Logan will be a good child in the f
The content Clarissa posted was private. If her old classmates or anyone else saw it, they would call Clarissa out for showing off her wealth and her fancy home. Therefore, she would not let them see the post.After sharing the post, Clarissa sat around and chatted with Bethany. After the two got over their argument and bonded, they started talking about different things. They seemed closer and shared more of their feelings as compared to before their fight.Clarissa even told Bethany that she was going to remarry Damien on Monday.“You two should’ve remarried a long time ago. Your son’s already grown up so much! What are you waiting for?” Bethany said.Clarissa nodded in agreement. It was also one of the reasons why she resigned herself to her fate. After all, her son had grown so much.“Yeah, yes,” Clarissa said.Clarissa and Bethany chatted for a long time, but a stubborn person like Bethany wouldn’t easily change her impression of Logan. She mainly came here to renew her rela
“What’s the matter?” When Clarissa heard Damien’s phone notification, she was already drifting to sleep. She asked him about it, but she was a little distracted and was about to fall asleep in the next second.“Ray’s tender.”“Hm,” Clarissa muttered and went back to sleep.Clarissa slept until noon the next day. It was a Saturday. Damien had told her to take the children to the ice rink to skate.Clarissa had lunch, and then went to the ice rink with Mrs. Faber by car.The ice rink in the mall was just opened. It was very expensive, so not many people visited it. Damien had hired a coach to teach the two children to skate for an hour.Clarissa and Mrs. Faber waited outside the ice rink. Clarissa was bored with waiting, so she went downstairs to shop at some clothing stores. Then, Mrs. Faber called.Clarissa checked the time on her watch, and wondered why Mrs. Faber had called after just half an hour.“Madam, hurry back! The child got into an accident. The chandelier on the ceil
“Neil, you should go with your mom. Learn how she demands money from other people,” Damien said to Neil behind him.“Okay,” Neil replied.Clarissa saw Damien in the room alone with Logan, and figured that Damien probably wanted to speak to Logan. Clarissa’s face darkened for a moment. Then, she took Neil into a small room nearby to talk to the ice rink’s lawyers about compensation.“Logan, tell Daddy. How did it happen?” Damien asked Logan.Damien had sent Neil away because he was afraid that the two children would make up their story in advance. He did not trust Logan much.After all, the child didn’t come from a good family. He grew up with Chanel, so he might lie or cheat like Chanel.Damien was wary of Logan. He understood that children who grew up in such an environment would mature early. They learned to pretend, lie, be mean, and deceive others.“Well, when we were skating, Neil was skating in front of me. When Neil was about to skate under the light, I saw it shaking. I
Clarissa wondered how Theresa felt about adopting her in the past.Perhaps it was because Theresa had adopted Clarissa as a baby. As a baby, Clarissa wasn’t influenced by anyone yet. Naturally, Theresa loved her very much.However, Logan was already tainted by Lucy and Chanel’s ugly characteristics. He learnt to view others with a skewered judgment. He was different from Clarissa when she had been adopted.The next day, Clarissa and Damien went to get remarried and took their marriage license. Neither felt strongly about it. After all, they had been living together, and even had a child. It simply felt like the right thing to do.After Clarissa and Damien came back from the wedding, the two children acted secretively.Although Logan had a bandage on his head, he smiled brightly. Perhaps he was very energetic. When it was time for dinner, Neil suddenly turned off the lights.Clarissa was a little puzzled. She asked curiously, “Is the power out?”Then, she saw Neil and Logan com
“I’m busy today, so I won’t sign the contract. I’ll be heading over to the rural area in the mountains with Clarissa later. Do you want to come along?” Damien said. “Let’s go together.”“Me?”“Let’s go.” After that, Damien stood up. “We’ll return here tomorrow. Just follow me.”Ray didn’t think much about it, so he agreed to go with Damien.Truthfully speaking, he was still hesitating on whether or not he should hand the contract to the Everest Corporation. Even though Namity Technologies was considered a small-scale company, its technology was far more advanced than the other competitors. Besides, the CEOs were young and energetic. The idea of using drones in daily life was something others dared to dream about but didn’t dare to act on. The documents that were submitted to Ray were more than enough to describe Dana’s throbbing ambition. However, Ray decided to cross Dana’s company off the list because he wanted to remain neutral and impartial. He did think what he did was unfair
”Oh?” Damien replied. He shot Ray a look before continuing, “Someone else shares the same idea as me?”Ray had a feeling that Damien invited him here on purpose. However, he still failed to understand the latter’s true intentions.Once they entered the headmaster’s office, the person who had been sitting there stood up immediately.Ray was stunned to see Dana.Clarissa was also quite surprised to see her there.Damien was the only one who appeared calm.Ray’s gaze was pinned on Damien’s form as he tried to gauge the latter’s expression. He sent him a look that obviously said ‘did you ask her to come here?’.However, Damien’s eyes remained calm. Ray couldn’t be certain if the answer was yes or no.On the other hand, Dana also noticed Ray, Damien, and Clarissa. She also had a shocked look. “Why are you guys here too?”“We want to make a donation to this school, so we came here.” Damien approached the chair in front of the headmaster’s desk and sat down. Ray followed after him wo
”Yes.” Ray had no choice but to go along with the flow.When Damien heard the response, he casually pulled out a cigarette stick.However, he lowered his hand right after he noticed Clarissa’s glare of death.Clarissa was very displeased with his attitude. ‘Why didn’t you tell me if this is your actual goal? If you told me from the start, I wouldn’t have felt so vulnerable and betrayed!’At that moment, Dana’s happiness was evident on her face. “Okay! Since you haven’t drafted the contract, let’s do a pinky swear!”Ray mumbled, “This is so childish.” However, he didn’t seem to mind Dana’s childishness.On the other hand, Dana had no idea that Ray had already prepared the contract deal for the Everest Corporation. She misunderstood him as one who was cold on the outside and passionate on the inside. That day, he told her on purpose that the deal wasn’t hers, only to save the huge surprise for today. Her heart started warming up to Ray since that moment, and the way she looked at h
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
