Connie couldn’t conceal her delight at the sight of Charles’s pale face.“Anna, where’s my medication?” Charles’ voice was trembling. He was in great pain.“Medication? What medication? What’s it for?” Connie crossed her arms and stood there, watching as he clutched at his chest.He glanced at her, wondering what was wrong. Was she waiting for him to die so she could inherit his fortune, now that she knew he had allocated one percent of it to her? Or did she think that it was too little? Why hadn’t he seen right through her despite his life experience? How could there be such an evil person in this world? He had fallen for her act hook, line, and sinker!At this moment, Connie pulled out a prescription bottle from the drawer opposite Charles’s desk. She stood right before him and said, “Are you talking about this?”“Yes…” He could barely speak.“Let me see what exactly this is for.” After that, Connie turned her gaze from his face to the bottle. “It’s too bad I don’t know how to
When Connie noticed that Charles wasn’t feeling well, she felt proud of herself.A patient with myocardial infarction should not experience major emotional fluctuations. Right now, Charles’s complexion was bright red, and his breathing was rasp and uneven. He wanted to point at Connie in rage, but failed to do so.Connie grabbed his shivering finger and shoved it to the other side.“If you want to blame someone, blame your wife! She’s lived a life with all the riches and comfort ever since she was young. After being imprisoned by her own sister for so many years, she still acts like a princess even when she’s already an old woman. If you want to direct your anger at someone, just direct it at her. Here’s your medication. Come and get it yourself!” Connie lifted the bottle of medicine in her hand and taunted, “What’s wrong? Come and get it.”Charles reached out to the box as he struggled to breathe. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t reach the bottle in Connie’s grasp.
Connie wasn’t wrong. All her life, Iris lived like a princess. In the past, her father loved her dearly and Charles treated her like a queen. When she was robbed of her privileges, she wasn’t herself and her mental state turned abnormal. Although her condition had improved drastically ever since she started living with Clarissa, her life still wasn’t the same as before.Iris sat alone in the house as she stared vacantly at the picture of her and Charles on the wall.She couldn’t believe all of this was real. Somehow, she believed that as long as she didn’t go to the company to see his corpse, his death wouldn’t be real and that somehow, Charles had asked his employees to trick her into believing his death.She waited until late at night, but he didn’t return home.All of a sudden, Iris lost her mind and rushed to the company. By the time she arrived, the staff had already made the necessary arrangements. Charles was simply lying there, motionless.Like a madwoman, Iris slapped her
When Clarissa saw Damien’s confused look, she thought, ‘I’m certain he’s not the one behind my father’s death.’Damien had never been one to lie about his actions. If he was actually involved in the incident, he wouldn’t give her that look of incredulity. Instead, it was more like him to say something like, ‘So what? He deserves to die anyway.’If he really did it, he wouldn’t have hesitated in giving her a definite answer.Being a sharp person, Damien caught on to what she meant almost instantly, though he was confused about her intention at first.He revealed a sarcastic smile and said, “Is it because I’ve done a lot of bad things? Is that why you’ve grown suspicious of me?”“That’s not what I mean.” Clarissa regretted asking him that question as she thought, ‘Why do I have to ask him that question? It could’ve ruined our relationship!”Although they have talked it out, both of them were still cautious of one another.“I’m sorry, Damien. It’s rude of me to even speculate that,
Soon, the HR department forwarded Anna’s picture to Damien.Even though Anna had changed her style of makeup and dressed up prim and proper, Damien could recognize the woman in the picture at one glance. She was none other than Connie.Fueled with rage, Damien was so angry he didn’t know how to react.When Clarissa saw Connie’s picture, all color drained from her face. ‘Why is Connie here?’“This person is a wanted criminal in Genovia. She is currently being pursued by the police for murder. Get a hold of her right now! I will contact the authorities back in Genovia right away.”When the lawyer heard Damien’s accusations, he was shocked. “How can this be? President Griffin likes her a lot!”Damien scoffed. “Find her right now! Even if she has changed her identity, she is still a threat to society!”“I’m convinced Connie has something to do with my father’s death! I’m sure of it!” Clarissa exclaimed.Clarissa could murder Connie with her own hands right now if Connie was in fron
Caleb waved his hand and said, “Maybe next time.”Clarissa had already told Bethany that Caleb’s new girlfriend was pregnant with his child. After Bethany heard that, she felt her whole world crumbling before her eyes. She knew she had no chance of being friends with Caleb anymore, let alone being lovers. Deep down, she actually held a grudge against Caleb.At first, Bethany thought that Caleb would take responsibility after having sex with her. Who knew he would impregnate another woman behind her back instead?It was because of this that Bethany had lost all trust in Caleb. She couldn’t even look him in the eye and hold a normal conversation with him.Hearing Caleb’s vague reply, rage overwhelmed her. “What do you mean by that? Don’t tell me you’re not planning to tell us about your marriage! What? Are you trying to elope with her?”Bethany smiled awkwardly, revealing her teeth. Mrs. Faber, on the other hand, was observing Caleb’s conversation with Bethany. As a mother, she felt
Clarissa fell asleep from exhaustion. When she woke up, she realized that her pillow was damp. Looking up, she noticed that Damien was calling someone just beside the windows.“Have you found her? Where is she?”“I want you to find a place where she could get addicted to drugs. Find her a job with high pay, just so she could afford the drugs. I’ll make her life a living hell! After everything she’s done, I’ll make sure she dies a slow and painful death!”Clarissa could hear Damien’s words loud and clear. He was plotting the most wicked scheme ever to end Connie’s life.Since Connie had fled Genovia and Fenderia, the chances of capturing Connie were slim as she wasn’t a wanted criminal in other countries. Damien decided to take things into his own hands when it came to subduing Connie.It wasn’t the first time Damien had attempted something as evil as this. Perhaps Clarissa had gotten used to his abominable nature, or perhaps she hated Connie as much as Damien. Both of them wanted
Connie sat before the dressing table with Andrew standing behind her. His hand caressed Connie’s face, arousing her feelings in an unusual way.Andrew’s face was occasionally right next to Connie’s, and occasionally far away. The way he behaved distantly perturbed her.“Where are you from?” Andrew asked Connie out of nowhere.“Oh, I was born in Merania, but my parents passed away so I was forced to work here. This place is really nice. It’s treating me well,” Connie said. Connie told other people that her parents had both died. She was afraid they would keep asking about her background and find out who she was if she said she still had family. To her, this was very dangerous. She would rather pretend that she had no one left in the world. “Okay. Don’t move.” Andrew swiveled Connie’s makeup chair. “Let me do your eyelashes and eyebrows. Your brows have a really nice shape. Did you do something to them?”“Yes, a long time ago.” Connie closed her eyes. She could hear Andrew’s soft
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
