Love in the dark Chapter 170
George despised Laurence's nonchalant demeanor as if everything was under his control and he was invincible with victory in his hands. Others may not know, but George was very aware that Laurence's personal secretary was his wife. Their marriage was a secret, so few knew any details. George found out by accident, but he never said a word and kept silent. However, since Laurence had no mercy, he would not hold back either. George had to play a few dirty tricks to maintain his seat in the board of directors. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that he would fall into this young man's hands. As the saying goes, like father, like son. Laurence was even more relentless than his father. George did not believe Laurence did not care at all. When Laurence first entered the company, he was so respectful to the directors and even called him uncle. But as soon as he gained a foothold, he turned his back on them and removed everyone from the board of directors without hesitation. If Georg

Zoey felt slightly uneasy. The look George gave her as he left sent chills down her back. But she remembered that George did not know of her relationship with Laurence, so those words definitely weren’t meant for her. “Miss Jenner, is this scarf your husband’s?”The black scarf did not seem like it belonged to a woman.Zoey hesitated before answering, “Yes.”Anne winked at her and teased, “It seems you’re getting along well with your husband.”Zoey was too embarrassed to admit that she was far from getting along with Laurence. However, they did return to their previous amicable relationship.“We're doing good.”“Is your husband good in bed?”Zoey was speechless. She realized single women nowadays were very interested in the sex life of married couples. She blushed and mumbled, “He’s okay.”She answered humbly on behalf of Laurence. He was indeed quite skilled in this aspect.Anne’s next words shocked her. “Can he go for seven rounds a night?”Zoey covered her mouth in shock and den

Zoey felt her cheeks redden and as she was hesitating, there was a ping from her phone again. Even Zoey could sense he was running out of patience through the phone. “Hurry up.” Zoey was not sure if there was anyone else in the office. She looked around nervously and pushed open the door to his office. As soon as she entered, she was greeted with the familiar scent of tobacco. Laurence was wearing a pair of glasses he rarely wore. The golden frame sat elegantly on his nose, which gave him a distinguished yet mysterious air. He casually removed his glasses, his demeanor intimidating even without saying anything. He wore a black shirt that highlighted his narrow waist and broad shoulders, neatly tucked into his pants which emphasized his long and slender legs. Laurence absently tugged at his tie and asked, “Are you in a hurry to leave?”Zoey looked at the clock and reminded him politely, “Mr. Scott, it’s already late.”It was already past ten, which meant she would arrive home around

Young Laurence chuckled heartily. He leaned against the wall weakly, like a sickly young man.“Sorry.”Just as she considered forgiving him, he pinched her cheeks and blurted, “Little ugly duckling.”She shrugged his hand away and huffed, “I don’t want to talk to you.”He was probably afraid she would really get mad. He quickly added, “But I would still like you even if you were ugly.”From what he said, Zoey was on cloud nine at that time. Zoey still did not know what that French sentence meant. She later checked what ugly duckling was in French, but it was completely different from what he said. He had tricked her.…When the meeting ended, Zoey was hugging a pillow and staring off into an empty space.He took the pillow away and asked, “Did you fall asleep?”Zoey raised her head and their eyes met. She yawned and said huskily, “Is it over?”Laurence paused for a second. He had always thought her raspy voice sounded familiar. There were even a few times when he mistook Zoey for Sarah

Zoey used to think he would never care about her, but yesterday he admitted that he had feelings for her. She knew he wouldn’t say that just to please her.The elevator door opened with a ding. The basement parking was brightly lit. However, it looked very empty. Zoey sat in the passenger seat with a blank face, her thoughts drifting away. She only returned to her senses to say thanks when Laurence reached over to put on her seatbelt. They were out of luck today as the car wouldn’t start no matter what he did.Zoey looked at him and asked, “Is there something wrong with the car?”Laurence frowned and unbuckled his seat belt.“I’ll go take a look.”Zoey sat in the car and watched as he opened the bonnet. Laurence seemed to have knowledge of everything. After some time, he returned to the car and explained, “There’s something wrong with the engine. We’ll call a cab.”Zoey nodded.The wind was howling outside the company. The air felt cold and frigid against their skin. Zoey wrapped the s

Zoey felt uneasy under his watchful gaze. She returned half of the items and said, “That’s all.”Laurence also made a compromise.“There will be no next time.”Zoey ignored what he said. She couldn’t care less.Some sausages were being grilled at the checkout counter. Zoey couldn’t resist the savory scent. She bit her lips, pointed at the sausages and said quietly to the cashier, “Give me a sausage.”Laurence was about to pay. He raised his eyebrows and interrupted, “There’s no need.”The cashier did not know who he should listen to. Zoey was prepared to pay with her own money, but Laurence had a sullen expression.“It’s all chemicals and additives. The meat is not of good quality either.”Zoey knew all the facts, but people were irrational in the face of hunger.Zoey licked her lips with a greedy look, making her seem adorably naïve.“But I want to eat it.”Laurence was adamant. “Don’t even think about it. No.”Zoey was about to speak when Laurence lifted her chin, bent down and whisp

The glimmer of hope she had slowly died out.Zoey thought she would not be disappointed if she held no hope. She touched her face, unsure of her appearance.“Am I pretty?”“Very.” Laurence examined her features and snorted. “Are you asking on purpose?”Zoey did not mean it that way and shook her head.“Nobody likes me.”No one was ever interested in her since high school. Others would receive love letters, but she never did. Zoey slowly felt that she must not be that pretty. Laurence did not believe her and thought she was just being humble.Zoey met his eyes and said earnestly, “It’s true. Nobody liked me, and they all hated me.”She was not really popular at that time. Although she tried hard to remain unseen, she felt her classmates deliberately avoided her. Even her deskmate rarely spoke to her. “You can ask Shawn if you don’t believe me. We were classmates.”Laurence did not dwell on this matter.“Maybe they don’t have taste.”Zoey was lonely for most of her high school life. Sh

Amanda paused. “I think so.”Zoey thought for a moment and said, “I’ll ask Matthew when he comes back.”Amanda smiled sweetly. “Alright, sorry for the trouble.”Zoey did not pay her much attention and continued her own work. She was indeed quite busy since Laurence had another business trip. She had to arrange the hotels and meeting rooms and deal with other trivial matters. She even had to organize and submit the details for the media interviews.Zoey had sent several emails regarding the interview requests to Laurence this morning, but he rejected all of them. She noticed that although Laurence was very popular with the press, he never accepted any interviews, nor did he go on the news or have his photos published. He was extremely private in this aspect.Zoey stretched, feeling the soreness in her shoulders. She looked at the time on her computer and thought of ordering takeout today when Amanda approached her and asked, “Miss Jenner, is there anything I can do?”Zoey felt slightly

Love in the dark Chapter 757 Got Everything Figured Out
Ryan had a reason for barging into the room. He thought he had seen something he shouldn't have.He had witnessed Zoey's relationship with his brother over the past few years. He hadn't thought so many things would happen between them when they got married.In the end, Laurence fell for her.The high and mighty guy had willingly become the loser for that woman.Zoey could tell from Ryan's reaction that he had misunderstood. Without bothering to explain, she walked straight out of the office.Laurence ignored Ryan, too. He treated Ryan as if he didn't exist and strode out the door after Zoey. Ryan was left alone in the office, dumbfounded.Laurence's assistant greeted him politely. "Are you here for ..."Ryan was still in a daze. He snapped to his senses and said, "I'm here to see my brother!""Mr. Scott just left.""I saw that.""Then, is there anything else I can do for you?"Ryan turned around to leave but returned halfway. He put his arm around the assistant's shoulder as
Love in the dark Chapter 756 Came at the Wrong Time
Zoey could feel the gazes on her as she stepped into the office. There were hardly any familiar faces left in the office.She secretly sighed in relief. She would have felt awkward and at a loss if she had to face the inquisitive gazes of acquaintances.Laurence held Zoey's hand, and she had no choice but to let him do as he pleased. She couldn't resist him.They entered Laurence's office. His office looked cold and plain, just like he was.Zoey noticed he was still grabbing her wrist. She took a deep breath and asked, "Where should I sit?"Perhaps surprised by her sudden cooperative attitude, Laurence raised an eyebrow. After a pause, he kindly reminded her, "The door is locked."Without a key, the door couldn't be opened from the inside.Zoey tried to pull her wrist away. "Got it."Laurence watched her sit on the sofa, and he relaxed slightly. He asked politely, "Would you like something to drink?"Zoey was momentarily lost in thought. She replied, "Warm water will do"Laur
Love in the dark Chapter 755 Opening Up
Zoey was composed. She didn't seem worried about Laurence investigating her past in Novarvia. But deep down, she wasn't confident.Laurence had long lost any moral boundaries. Despite knowing she was married, he showed no concern about interfering in her marriage. He would likely become even more audacious and unrestrained if he discovered that her marriage was fake.Just the thought of it gave Zoey a headache. She never thought getting rid of someone would be so difficult, even if they held a certain position of power. Shaking him off became increasingly challenging.Lost in her contemplation, Zoey failed to notice the driver had changed direction. When she finally realized, the car was parked at the entrance of the Scott Group.Zoey pondered briefly. She thought the driver was sending Laurence off. She waited patiently and remained seated in the car.The man beside her calmly looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you getting out?"Zoey furrowed her brows. "Why should I?"
Love in the dark Chapter 754 Don't Let Me Find Out
Sarah always seemed like she was thriving. Looking radiant, she hooked arms with the man beside her. She no longer looked as worn as she had a few months ago.Laurence was acquainted with the man beside her. His gaze was indifferent, showing neither surprise nor much emotion. Firmly grabbing Zoey's hands, Laurence wouldn't let her leave his side.Laurence had no intention of greeting Sarah or engaging with William. He held Zoey's hand, seemingly aware she didn't want to deal with them either. He turned his face to her and said, "Let's go."Zoey didn't refuse. They left quietly.This time, Sarah didn't stop Zoey. She usually tried provoking her.Once they were far away, Zoey immediately shook off Laurence's hand. He saw her furrowed brows and the undisguised disgust in her eyes. She must have hated Sarah a lot. She didn't even want to see her.Laurence explained, "I didn't know she would be here today."Zoey ignored him and walked ahead. The man behind her suddenly circled he
Love in the dark Chapter 753 A Chance Encounter
Zoey had no idea whether she was acting out of spite or being stubborn, but she arrived at the restaurant as promised. The restaurant had a private courtyard that offered great privacy. She didn't want to cause the person she was meeting any trouble. Neil's wife was once Zoey's client. Both parties were pleased with the business transaction. Zoey didn't like socializing, but she was out of alternatives. She forced herself to befriend Neil's wife. She had something to ask of Neil because her passport application had been dragging on without any progress. Zoey didn't want to lose control of her emotions again. She could still keep her cool if she stayed away from Laurence. To her surprise, Laurence had found out what she had been secretly up to. It was like he had installed a bug on her. She was horrified. "I've heard a lot of good things about you, Ms. Jenner." "You're too kind, Mr. Jackson." Neil was nicer than she expected. He didn't act superior or avoid the topic. Inst
Love in the dark Chapter 752 Hint
Zoey ended the phone call. Without having to ask, Zoey knew what was going on when she saw Laurence. Needless to say, Laurence had taken the liberty to take the morning off for her. She couldn't be bothered to be angry. Instead, she felt numb as it had happened too many times before. Zoey looked down at her changed pajamas and turned to the man by the bed. She asked, "Where are my clothes?" Laurence met her gaze. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. "They were in the wash. They are in the dryer now." Zoey lifted the bed covers and stepped onto the carpet. She made a beeline for the walk-in closet, which was filled with many clothes she hadn't taken with her when she'd left years ago. She picked an outfit and put it on. Laurence was still in the bedroom when she walked out of the walk-in closet. He put on his tie and looked over at her. She glanced at him and said, "You should've woken me up last night." Laurence approached her. He was tall and looked sharp in his suit, with
Love in the dark Chapter 751 Morals
Zoey was fast asleep. She thought she was dreaming when someone lifted her up. Her body clock over the last few days had been regular. She was going to bed early. Now, she couldn't keep her eyes open. Maybe she went back to sleep because she didn't sense any danger.Laurence hooked his arm behind Zoey's knees in a cradle and pulled her arm over his neck to secure her from falling. She mumbled in her sleep. He guessed that she was dreaming.Laurence couldn't hear what she was saying. He leaned in with his ear near her lips, but her mumbling stopped.The chauffeur, dedicated to his job, was on standby outside. Seeing his employer in the distance, he opened the door respectfully.Laurence carried Zoey into the car. The chauffeur closed the car door and glanced again at the woman in his employer's arms from the rear-view mirror. She looked familiar, but he didn't want to make any assumptions. "Where to, sir?" The chauffeur couldn't read his employer's mind, so he was careful not to
Love in the dark Chapter 750 Possessive
The bar wasn't too far from the restaurant. It was less than a ten-minute drive away. Laurence refused to let go of Zoey's wrist. He was bold to show off their closeness even though it was inappropriate. The others could hardly take their eyes off the couple. It was drama in the flesh. If they remembered correctly, Zoey had denied their relationship online two days before. She had even announced her marriage to someone else to set the record straight. What was going on? They had a hunch about the situation, judging by the resistance on Zoey's face. Maybe her ex-husband wouldn't leave her alone. The man seemed relentless in his pursuit. Nevertheless, it was not their business to get involved. At the end of the day, it was between Zoey and Laurence. Everybody quieted down and sobered up. The group caught a cab to the destination. Laurence shamelessly invited himself to join the group, and no one objected, not even politely. They weren't fools. They wouldn't offend the man for
Love in the dark Chapter 749 Your Husband Isn't Home
Zoey felt a tingling sensation along her ear. It felt as if she had been electrocuted. Laurence's tone was half-joking, but there was seriousness behind it. He was ready to tell on her to her husband the moment she nodded. Zoey had lost her patience with him a long time ago. She couldn't help but snap back every time. She looked up. Her face was small. She was about to tell him to get lost when the man took the chance to deepen the kiss. He squeezed her chin, forcing her to part her lips to let him in. Zoey was pinned against the wall. His scorching breath took hers away. She was trapped like prey in a snare. The more she struggled, the tighter his grip became.Laurence didn't stop with a brief kiss. He didn't give Zoey room to breathe, and she could feel her limbs going weak. Her tongue was going numb. The woman opened her mouth, gasping for air. She hung onto his collar to stop herself from going limp. The man was always greedy. He could never get enough of her. Zoey had
