Even when class was over, Lily had yet to recover from her shock. She patted her chest and said in relief, “I was terrified. Thank God you reacted quickly.”

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Clarissa was puzzled.

“It’s easy to be brave when you’re watching from the sidelines. Haven’t you ever heard of how ruthless he used to be? He fired the whole public relations department! Anyway, you’re not afraid of him now that you two are sleeping in the same bed, but what about in the past? You were terrified of him, remember?” Lily said.

Clarissa had yet to join the company when Damien had fired a whole department, so she didn’t know about it.

However, it was true that she used to be rather scared of him. During the team-building activity, she had been scared out of her wits when her phone had rung in his hand.

“Help me with something else tomorrow,” Lily continued.

“How?” Clarissa stopped walking. For some reason, Lily’s tone gave her an ominous premonition.

    When Clarissa went to visit her mother, Anne gave her a piece of good news. A few days ago, her mother’s pinky finger had twitched.“Really?” Clarissa was over the moon. Her mother had been in a coma for six years and had finally moved, albeit just a little. “Are you sure you weren’t seeing things?”Clarissa couldn’t believe it, so she wanted to get confirmation.“How’s that possible? I’ve cared for so many patients over the years, I can definitely tell the difference between peripheral nerve necrosis and an actual reflex.” Anne was carefully wiping Clarissa’s mother’s hands.“Thank you, Anne.” Tears filled Clarissa’s eyes. She felt that Anne was the main contributor to her mother’s improvement, and thus she was extremely grateful.“Alright, alright. It’s what I’m supposed to do.” Anne rubbed Clarissa on the head.In the evening, she and Lily went to Lily’s sister’s home at Southern Paradise on East River Avenue. It was a lovely neighborhood.Landon opened the door.“Why are yo

    Clarissa only returned to her senses when Lily called out to her.“What did that woman say to you? Don’t fall for her tricks!” Lily advised.“She went on about how stingy and cheap I am,” Clarissa replied dejectedly.“Come on, let’s go shopping. President Lawrence deserves to have his money spent for having a mistress!” Though Lily knew to take Madelynn’s words with a grain of salt, the latter probably wasn’t stupid enough to lie about the house belonging to Damien.Clarissa was upset as well. They took a taxi to a mall, but not New East Mall. If they were to spend money at his mall, wouldn’t it just be going back into his pocket?She even texted Damien to demand money.Clarissa: [Give me money. I want to shop for clothes!]Damien hadn’t given her money for a long time.When he received her message, he felt that something was afoot, but he still replied to her.Damien: [How much do you want?]Clarissa: [200,000 dollars.]Shortly after that, she received a transfer of 200,000

    “D-Damien, you…” Madelynn was greatly confounded.The fact she had been staying in Damien’s house gave their relationship an ambiguous vibe, as if she was his.Now, however, if she were to stay in a house that belonged to both him and Clarissa, what did that make her? A guest, or a person living under someone’s roof?She, a celebrity, couldn’t afford to buy a house of her own?Damien didn’t say anything. He simply waited for the housing bureau employee to handle the procedures.Once the deed was ready, he passed it to Madelynn. “Here, you can hold on to it. You’ll probably need it for a lot of other things.”“W-Wait, Damien…” She was about to say something, but he had already turned to Clarissa, saying seriously, “Next time, just tell me when someone’s done you wrong. Don’t just come home and cry about it! Let’s go!”He grabbed Clarissa’s hand and dragged her out.Monica nudged Madelynn, anxious. “What’s going on?”“How should I know?” Madelynn bit back in frustration.Her ey

    Nicole was taken aback when she saw Clarissa. Then, she rolled her eyes.Clarissa caught this, but she didn’t know what she had done to deserve that reaction.“Nicole, did you get into the audit department?” Clarissa asked.Ever since Clarissa decided not to transfer to the audit department, she stopped paying attention to its goings on. She was afraid that the more attention she paid to it, the more she would want to go.“How could I possibly join your audit department? There’s no way I could’ve got in, thanks to you!” Nicole spat.“So, you didn’t get in?” Clarissa asked. She didn’t get it. Why couldn’t Nicole just give her a straight answer? Why did Nicole have to be so sarcastic?Nicole didn’t answer Clarissa, choosing to scoff and brush past Clarissa instead.Clarissa heard Nicole’s voice ring out behind her. “Mr. Moore, I’m here to collect my transcript. I saw that I scored seventy-six. That’s considered pretty high, isn’t it?”“It’s not bad.” Joseph handed her transcript

    “Forget it! I was just ranting a little,” Luke said. Joseph had taken the bait.“Which mall are you at? I’ll be right there,” Joseph said.Luke sent him his location. Soon, Joseph arrived.Luke continued to fan the flames. “Damien doesn’t like Clarissa at all. He wants her to look good so that it makes him look good, but he’s too stingy to pay for it. He actually made her return all the clothes they bought.”“Which ones did she return?”Luke pointed them out.“Wrap them up for me. Also, I want to get her a few more pieces…” An image of Clarissa’s figure appeared in Joseph’s mind. He had pretty good taste, and the clothes he picked out for her were nice.“Please have these delivered to her house. This is her address…” As he typed out Clarissa’s address, he said, “I’ll pay you extra to have them delivered by tomorrow evening.”“Sir, who should we say these are from?” The store clerk was delighted at having closed such a huge deal. Joseph had spent more than 300,000 dollars in one

    Damien lit a cigarette and sat down on the sofa in the bedroom.He appraised Clarissa, who was deep in thought.“What are you thinking about?”“Oh, it’s nothing,” she said. ‘Joseph didn’t seem to be lying. Who’s the one who actually bought the clothes?’At this moment, the doorbell rang.The housekeeper opened the door, and a voice rang out, seemingly coming closer to them. “President Lawrence, President Lawrence…!”This scared Clarissa. It was Joseph. Anxiety coursed through her veins, and she immediately recalled how Joseph had burst into their home the last time.“Should I step aside?” she asked Damien, looking awkward.“Is there anything between the two of you? Why do you need to step aside?” Damien said calmly. His eyes were icy, though.“I…” She didn’t know what Joseph was here for, and whether it had anything to do with the clothes.Joseph ran into the bedroom. He spared Clarissa a glance, then knelt before Damien, falling to his knees with a loud thump.That gave Cla

    Clarissa only returned to her normal state at night.After getting into bed, she asked Damien, “What did you give to the public prosecutor’s office?”He pulled out a stack of documents from the bedside table and passed them to her. “See for yourself.”The more Clarissa read, the more terrified she became. More than a decade ago, Frank Moore and a few other companies had joined hands to boycott an up-and-coming real estate company, Universal Real Estate. They had even caused a widow to jump off a building and pushed the blame on Universal Real Estate’s president, Patrick Lawrence. This caused Universal Real Estate’s reputation in Genovia to go down the drain, after which Patrick tried to take his life. When he failed, he and his wife left the country.Clarissa glanced at Damien. He wasn’t reading. He leaned against the bed frame while smoking a cigarette.“Patrick Lawrence is…” She tried to find the right words.“Your father-in-law,” Damien said.She nodded silently. She finally

    Clarissa’s mind wandered a little when Damien mentioned Caesar salad and shepherd’s pie.There was another person who liked these two dishes as well.She was going to see this person the next day, but she didn’t tell Damien.When she got to the office, she transferred 300,000 dollars to Joseph’s account. She had yet to spend a single cent of the one million dollars she had received from Damien.After that, she arranged for both “An Accountant’s Journey” and the notes on financial cost management to be delivered back to him. This was to show that there was no longer anything between them.She took a screenshot of the transfer and a photo of the delivery bill, then sent them to Damien.Clarissa: [It’s over.]Damien: [Good.]Though there hadn’t been anything between herself and Joseph to begin with, her actions this time were more of a representation of her attitude.Clarissa was afraid Damien would one day make her beg for mercy as well.Because this was Clarissa’s first time b

    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.
