“President Peterson?” Clarissa was surprised. What a small world! The “President Peterson” that Cindy had mentioned earlier was actually Dennis Peterson.

“Clarissa?” Dennis obviously didn’t expect to see her here either. “Long time no see. I wasn’t even sure that I had the right person.”

Cindy’s face immediately brightened when she saw that Dennis had arrived. She pulled him into the house and said to Clarissa cheerily, “Clary, I don’t want to keep you. You should hurry to your classes.”

After that, she slammed the door in Clarissa’s face.

When Dennis saw Connie sitting on the sofa, looking upset, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Oh, she’s just throwing a little tantrum. She insists she wants to continue acting, and she refuses to take my advice and get some rest, saying something about wanting to earn her own keep. She’s already earned enough to buy a house and car, so why is she so fixated on earning more?” Cindy tried to make Connie out to be a strong, independent, career-oriented wo

    When Damien came home, Clarissa told him about Bethany wanting to help Caleb get a job. Clarissa also told him she was afraid Caleb would turn the job down if she was the one who brought it up to him. After all, he was still resentful toward her about the dissertation.“Okay.” After that, Damien called Caleb.He told Caleb he had to go for the interview as a favor to him. He also asked, “Are you still together with Connie?”“No,” Caleb said seriously.“What really happened last night? Did you sleep with her?” Damien couldn’t stand Connie as well.After a long silence, Caleb said, “No. I was doing that to spite Bethany.”“That’s good. Don’t hook up with her now, or ever. She’s just leading you on, and she’s mixed up with another rich guy. Don’t fall for her tricks and regret it in the future.” In fact, Damien knew very well Caleb had done it to spite both Bethany and Clarissa.After that, he hung up.The next day, Caleb went to Tempest Investment—the company Bethany’s friend, Aa

    “Forget it. Do you think a phone call can change things? I don’t want to have anything to do with you or anyone who has to do with you. Not now, not ever! I don’t have a habit of beating up women, but if you dare to repeat what you did at the hotel, I can’t guarantee I won’t kill you. You better watch it!” With that, Caleb turned and left.Bethany was left alone in her office, her face burning with shame. Soon, she buried her face in her hands and started crying.She originally thought that forcing Caleb to sleep with her was the key to them getting together. Everything had gone horribly wrong, though—sleeping with him had only repulsed him. He had never been the type to smile all the time, and now, he was as cold as a block of ice when it came to dealing with her.Deeply upset, she called Clarissa and told her that Caleb had just dropped by. He had turned down the job she tried to get for him, and he had said such nasty things to her. Things were going from bad to worse.“Don’t pa

    They walked into the office. Rebecca turned the lights on. The place was of moderate size, and it had all the things an office needed.“Since Clarissa’s the one recommending you, I won’t interview you. I trust you, so don’t let me down, alright? Save my number, and I’ll send you the details of your job later,” Rebecca said. She pulled her phone out to take Caleb’s number down.Caleb sat down and read through the tasks Rebecca had assigned to him while she and Clarissa chatted. They talked and laughed, mentioning names like “Howard” and “Hannah”.Then, Clarissa turned to look at Caleb. “Are you done? We can get going if you are. You’re fine starting work tomorrow, right? I’ll think about what to tell your mother—she’s bound to find out about this.”She seemed like a kind, caring, older sister. Caleb nodded.“Alright, then. You two can get going first. I need to send someone a few emails now. I’ve dragged them on for too long,” Rebecca said.“We’ll leave you to it, then.” Caleb and

    In truth, Dennis wasn’t head over heels for Connie. He simply assumed that a little-known actress like herself would throw herself into his arms the moment he treated her a bit better. He hadn’t expected it to be so hard to win Connie over, but the challenge only made him want her more. Now, he had even seen Connie hugging another man in public with Clarissa present. It looked like Clarissa knew the guy.Connie flipped her hair the moment she got into the car. She wanted Dennis to understand that she already had a boyfriend, so it was high time for him to give up and get lost.Dennis started the car. From the rearview mirror, he saw Clarissa and Caleb getting into her car.“Is that your boyfriend?” he asked Connie.“Almost. I’m pursuing him, but he hasn’t agreed to be with me yet.” Connie looked like she couldn’t care less about Dennis.This was Dennis’s first time coming across such a situation. Connie wasn’t interested in his money or anything else he had done for her. She was c

    Dennis wrote the check and handed it to Cindy. “Here’s the five million dollars Connie asked for. You can return the money if you have any, but there’s no need to force yourself to cough up anything if you don’t. It’s fine either way.”Connie wanted to slap herself. Now, she had truly fallen into his trap!The moment Dennis left, Cindy knocked Connie on the head. “You should know what to do since he’s being so generous.”“I’ll return the money to him one day.”“Return it? Do you really think someone as clever as President Peterson will allow you to return the money? What on earth is going on in that head of yours? I bet Caleb won’t be able to earn so much money for the rest of his life!” Cindy sneered.This worried Connie. Yes, Dennis was clever, but he didn’t like her. She had already stepped one foot into his trap, so what was going to happen to her in the future? She was definitely not his match!With that thought in mind, she started to feel anxious.After Dennis left Connie

    True enough, as soon as Dennis left, Damien started to interrogate Clarissa.“Why didn’t you tell me about finding Caleb a job?” He glanced at her.“I asked Rebecca for help, but I didn’t know whether it was going to work out. You’re so busy all the time, and I didn’t want to disturb you,” Clarissa said a little pleadingly. “We see each other every night, anyway. I was going to tell you tonight.”Damien turned away. “I hope that’s what you really thought.”Even so, that night, he was pretty ruthless. He seemed to be punishing her for not telling him about Caleb, and he did rather want a second child. Still, it had been a long time now, and Clarissa hadn’t gotten pregnant. Their days were becoming rather plain now.“What if I can’t get pregnant anymore?” Clarissa said to Damien, who was still on top of her.“We’ll just keep trying!”……Mrs. Faber couldn’t fall asleep.She kept thinking about what had happened to Caleb. She checked Crystalpoint Building’s location, and found tha

    Coincidentally, Connie had come as well. She wanted to see what Caleb had been doing here the day before. She didn’t call or text him because she knew he didn’t like how she had hugged him the day before. Since Dennis had been around, she hadn’t explained herself, and she wanted to take this opportunity to see more of Caleb. She went to his apartment, but there was no one home. Thus, she went to Crystalpoint Building to see whether she could run into him here. To her surprise, she saw him and Mrs. Faber talking in the lobby.She wanted to hear what they were saying, so she secretly followed them upstairs.Mrs. Faber looked around Rebecca’s firm.“What is this place, Caleb? Why aren’t you in the army anymore? And since you’re not in the army anymore, why didn’t you go back to the university?” Mrs. Faber asked anxiously.“Mom, this is my workplace. My boss is Rebecca Steward. I…I left the army.”“Left?! Why?”“I made a little mistake and got fired, and I can’t go back to the univer

    When she got to the hotel room, she found that Dennis was the only one in there. Her heart immediately started to race.“Where’s the production crew?” she asked.“What production crew? I was just thinking of recommending you for the job, but I haven’t yet. It depends on how well you perform,” Dennis said.Connie knew she had been tricked, but she was already here. She had no way out of this.Dennis had been pursuing Connie for a long time. He started out with flowers and cosmetics, and he had recently given her 5 million dollars. None of these things had moved her the slightest. He wasn’t the patient type, and most of the time, women were the ones throwing themselves at him. When had he ever spent so much time chasing a woman? He felt Connie was taking things a little too far. He’d already given her so much money, but she was still throwing herself at another man. She wasn’t the prettiest woman out there, nor was she a great actress. She thought too highly of herself, and he was g

    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
