"Why don't you come here and see for yourself?" Mary said. Judging from the way she was dressed, it seemed Mary had done it with Nick.Soon, a man came to the door. With a bathrobe tied around his waist, it was obvious that the couple had just bathed together.Amber had a good look at the man. Her heart was about to shatter into pieces.When Nick saw Amber, he stammered, "Am… Amber…"All Michelle knew about Amber's partner was that his name was Nick Drewayn. This was the first time that she had seen him in person. He was quite ripped and looked handsome. Looking at Nick, Michelle reached the conclusion that men were all the same regardless of their status in society.Looking into Mary's eyes, Michelle had a rough guess that they just had sex. It was around 2:45 at the moment. Since the agreed meeting time was 2:00, Michelle was surprised that they took less than 45 minutes to finish. They had even finished bathing as well. Everything happened exactly according to Neil's speculatio
Ariana said with a displeased smirk, “Fancy seeing you here! If I have to guess, you must be the one causing a commotion on the 20th floor. Is your friend here fighting for her man as well? Aw, men are just not worth it. Oh, by the way, this is my new boyfriend. His name is Jonathan Fosse, the inheritor of Fosse Corporation.”Michelle didn’t know what Ariana was playing at. Wasn’t she Neil’s mistress? Why was she introducing her new boyfriend to her?Being a dense person, Michelle didn’t think too much about it.More importantly, Ariana wasn’t her top priority. Amber was the one who needed Michelle the most right now.So, the two of them left.Looking at Michelle’s back as she walked away, Ariana thought, ‘You’d better tell Neil about our encounter today. Neil has to know he’s not the only man I’m seeing right now. If he doesn’t want me, I’ll go for better options.’Ariana knew Neil was a prideful man. If Ariana was snatched away by another man, Neil would retaliate because his p
Before they knew it, it was already eight at night.Michelle was so engrossed in drinking that she had forgotten about informing Neil that she wouldn’t be back for dinner. After Michelle left in the afternoon, Neil returned to his room alone. He spent the entire day resting, reading, and sleeping, but Michelle never called him. During dinner, Neil didn’t feel like eating at all even though he was having seafood. Without her, he felt empty inside.Only when Mrs. Harris left did Michelle come back home. By then, he had already finished washing the dishes.After opening the door, she staggered to the sofa and slept on it.Neil frowned.“Where’s the car?” Neil asked while sitting at the dining table. There was quite a bit of a distance between them.Michelle lay on the sofa in an overly casual position and replied, “I didn’t drive back. I came back by taxi. How can I drive in this state?”Michelle was dizzy. Hugging the pillow on the sofa, she leaned against the handrest.“Did yo
All of a sudden, an uneasy feeling rose in Neil. That bastard! How dare he seduce my woman! Jonathan came from a mediocre family, yet he dared to act like he was part of high society. Neil had been holding a grudge against Jonathan for a while now. Now that Jonathan had started a war by seducing his woman, Neil decided to fight for Ariana to reclaim his dignity.He sent a message to Michael.Neil: [Ask him out for a basketball match. We’ll make him surrender on his own.]Jonathan had always taken pride in playing basketball. The reason Neil wanted to challenge him wasn’t entirely because of Ariana. He simply hated the way Jonathan was infringing upon his territory.Michael: [Sure, when do you want to do it?]Neil: [Let’s do it tonight. We’ll play for the entire night.]Michael: [Sure.]Soon, Michael sent the location of the basketball court to Neil. He also invited Jonathan and a few friends for the occasion.Neil grabbed his basketball attire and went out.By the time he arri
When Neil returned home, Michelle was still asleep. Mrs. Harris was already preparing breakfast in the kitchen.Mrs. Harris was surprised to see him. “Sir, where have you been?”“I was playing basketball with my friends.” Then, Neil went into the washroom.After he was done showering, he slept for a while. After an entire night of no rest, he decided to sleep in since that day was a Sunday.When Michelle woke up, she didn’t see Neil anywhere. “Mrs. Harris, where is Neil?”“President Lawrence said he was out playing basketball all night. He just came back a while ago. He’s probably asleep now.”Michelle was dumbfounded. ‘What? Is he crazy?’However, she couldn’t care less about what was going on in Neil’s mind. After resting for the whole night, she didn’t have a hangover the next morning.After she had breakfast, she headed straight to the company. Although it was a Sunday, Michelle thought it better to work than to be at home doing nothing.When she thought about the things t
Michelle didn’t want to speak to Ariana, so she took a taxi home.‘Neil must be exhausted after playing basketball the whole night through, and for a woman’s sake, too.’ She couldn’t help rolling her eyes at how immature he was.When she got home, she went to the garage and saw the Honda parked there.Neil was in the living room, reading a book.“Did you drive the Honda back?” Michelle asked, pretending not to know that Ariana had driven it back.“No, Ariana did,” Neil said absent-mindedly.“Oh. Why does she have the spare key?”“The spare keys for all my cars are kept at Verrington Apartment. Since she’s staying there, she has access to them.”When she heard this, Michelle was lost for words and decided to return to her room. He was definitely the first person she’d ever met who committed adultery so blatantly, and it made her mad.Neil had deliberately said that to make her jealous so that she would pick a fight with him, but things didn’t always go according to plan. She wa
Michelle came downstairs for dinner when it was time, but she didn’t say much to Neil.That night, Neil received a message from Ariana. She wanted to go bar-hopping with him the following night. Recalling Michelle’s cold attitude, he agreed.When Michelle got home after work the following day, she saw that Neil wasn’t around. Mrs. Cross didn’t know where he was either.Michelle had dinner in silence, and Neil didn’t text her to tell him where he was, even when it was time for her to go to bed. ‘He really does think of this place as a hotel.’ Since he couldn’t care less about their family, why did she have to bother about him? He could do whatever he wanted. Moreover, she didn’t really have any feelings for him. If she were to interfere in his personal life, he’d probably be pissed off, and they wouldn’t even be able to get along like normal housemates. She was better off not poking her nose into his business.Ariana drank and danced while Neil stared at his phone. He was waiting to
While Neil was busy feeling irritated, the man behind him suddenly smashed a beer bottle on his head. Immediately, blood spurted out from the wound. Neil was quick to react and spun around immediately to see a crazed-looking Jonathan standing there. He quickly gave Jonathan a kick and sent the latter flying. Jonathan crashed against the bar’s entrance.“You’re a bastard, Neil Lawrence! Why are you still pestering Ariana when you’re already married? What I do with her is none of your business! How dare you fight back when death is all you deserve?” Jonathan got to his feet and rushed at Neil again.Though Neil’s head was bleeding, he still managed to give Jonathan another kick. Jonathan wanted to pounce on Neil again, but the bar’s security guards held him down and waited for the police to come.In that instant, the bar had fallen into an uproar. One of the waiters quickly called the police and an ambulance.When Ariana heard the ruckus, she came over and saw the blood all over Neil
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
