Cedric had been restraining himself all night and was on the brink of losing his mind. He finally managed to fall asleep at dusk, yet Faye woke up and started seducing him. Not only did she lean against him, she even started touching him. When he was woken up by her kiss, all he could think of was how he was going to punish her. All thoughts about respecting and waiting for her to say yes were cast aside. Cedric, who lacked sleep and was boiling with desire, sensed how she clumsily kissed him and turned to pin her against the bed before devouring her lips. Faye wasn't appalled by his kiss and touch, as she had gotten used to his presence and touch. Throughout the night, she kept having odd dreams that were filled with inappropriate scenes, driving her crazy. It felt even worse than swimming in a pool of her own blood. She was stuck in her dreams and only managed to wake up close to dusk, yet her entire body felt like it was burning. She was a little hesitant to sedu
Flora finished packing, changed out of her hospital gown, and was now dressed in an elegant emerald green dress, exuding grace and elegance.She glanced at the Shaw family and said, "Is it really him who wants money to start another business, or is it you who wants more money for your luxurious lifestyle?"She smiled coldly and continued, "Has Clark been spending too much time at the casino these days? Did he lose everything? If he has money to gamble, why can't he invest in his brother's business? Isn't that the new limited edition LV handbag you are carrying, Mandy? If I remember correctly, it has been on the market for less than a month, and it costs no less than a thousand, right?""And Mrs. Brown, your gold bracelet looks brand new. Did you buy it recently?" Flora's expression darkened with a sneer. "If Clint is really in such desperate need of money, just selling some of your luxury items could gather tens of thousands, if not millions, for him. Besides, when I was still a m
Faye noticed that Cedric was hesitant to speak and smiled. "What's that look on your face? Is there something you want to say?"Cedric didn't want to burden their growing relationship with the complicated matters of his family, so he shook his head and decided not to say anything.However, Faye guessed what was on his mind. "You want to say that the people from the Shaw family are more disgusting, right?"Cedric's gaze sharpened. "Don't worry, I won't let you deal with those things."Still, he knew that Faye would inevitably have to face them in the future. Faye playfully linked her arm with his. "Do you think I'm easy to bully?"Cedric chuckled and poked her nose. "It doesn't matter if you are easy to bully. What's important is that I don't want those disgusting people to bother you."She smiled. "So, are you hiding something from me?"There was no reason for Cedric to become concerned about such matters suddenly, so it was clear that something had happened in the Shaw family
Sherry didn't expect Cedric to be here and wanted to take the opportunity to bully Faye. However, as soon as Cedric appeared, the tides changed. Cedric was aggressive enough to insult himself, as well as insult her. However, he emphasized the Shaw family in Jeorgia, almost as though he was trying to separate himself from the Shaw family in Jeorgia. Victoria's eyes lit up when she saw Cedric, and she grabbed his arm. "Uncle, you're finally back!"Cedric quietly pulled his arm away and glanced coldly at her. "Yeah.""I heard from Grandpa that you went to Jorn City and that he didn't know when you would be back. I thought it would be a long time until I saw you again." Victoria's face flushed, and she stared intently at Cedric despite being rejected. "When did you come back?" Cedric's voice was cold and distant. Victoria raised her chin and smiled at him. "I've been back for over half a month. I heard that you got married, Uncle, so I've been wanting to see my new aunt-in-law."
When Lucy asked Georgina out, she was shocked. "Lucy, why did you ask me out for a meal today?" Georgina asked. Her face was adorned with light makeup, and her elegance attracted the attention of many people as soon as she entered the mall. She immediately put on a face mask and grabbed Lucy's arm. "Sorry, Lucy. I'm quite famous in the area. I need to wear a mask and a cap so others won't recognize me."Lucy glanced at her and smiled. "It's okay. I understand. After all, you are somewhat popular as a model and kind of an idol."Georgina was trying to show off, but Lucy merely agreed with her on the surface. When she mentioned "kind of an idol", Georgina's expression darkened. Georgina quickly regained her composure and said gently, "Oh, idols don't mean much, but Jeorgia is a small place, so it's better to be careful.""You are great in both figure and looks. You would attract people's attention anywhere. It's hard to keep a low profile." Lucy smiled and led Georgina into a rest
Lucy sneered. "Yes, the surveillance footage was indeed destroyed. So how did you find out? Do you still want to deceive me?" she roared.Georgina's expression darkened. She released Lucy's hand and dropped the act. "Lucy, you played me? How dare you trick me?"Lucy sneered. "I played you? So you are allowed to plot and hurt me, but I can't investigate and find out the truth? With all your sweet talks about being good friends, you only see me as a supporting character in your life, right? My mediocracy highlights your beauty, making you appear noble and elegant. Now that you see me surpassing you, you are upset. Is that why you tried to ruin me?"Faye had warned her about Georgina's deceitful nature, suggesting that she shouldn't associate with her so frequently. However, at the time, Lucy didn't think much of it, believing that Georgina's kindness was genuine. Little did she know that Georgina's kindness was just an act.Faye turned out to be Light Moon Designs' chief designer,
Faye scanned him, but instead of accepting his bouquet, she smiled. "What are you getting at today? I'm busy!"Faye knew what kind of a person Nick had been since they were in high school, and if he was suddenly apologizing to her, something must have been wrong. Nick smiled. "I've recognized my mistakes, Faye. I came here to apologize sincerely to you.""You have flowers, so it looks more like you are here for trouble." Her expression darkened. "After all, I'm married."Nick bit his lip and shoved the bouquet into his companion's hands. "I thought all girls love flowers. I suppose a woman like you isn't like ordinary girls. Good thing that I prepared another gift."He then turned to grab the briefcase from behind him and opened it to retrieve a smaller box before handing it to Faye. "Faye, I sincerely apologize for my wrongdoings. I was arrogant and blind, thinking that I could step all over others. I won't make that mistake again. Thank you for showing me what I need to improve
In the afternoon, Faye left work unusually early and went to a beauty salon to get a simple makeover. She changed into an elegant, form-fitting long dress. The exquisite makeup accentuated her already beautiful face, and the beige dress outlined her slender figure. She carried a Light Moon Designs exclusive handbag and looked radiant. When Cedric arrived at the beauty salon to pick Faye up, he stood in the lobby and stared at her for a full minute before extending his hand with a smile. "You truly are my queen. You can casually dress and still take my breath away."Faye held onto Cedric's hand and locked eyes with him. "You don't look too shabby yourself, Mr. Shaw."Cedric was dressed in a black dress shirt and slacks, his short hair styled in a way that gave him a more commanding presence. His tall figure exuded an air of royalty, and as he held her hand, Faye felt like a queen. The two were practically a match made in heaven. The makeup artist watched as Faye and Cedric left
Official Hart was well aware that if he indeed went to Pembrook, he couldn't successfully assume the role of the leader without the support of the security team. It wasn't that he underestimated himself, but Pembrook was a peculiar city. Ordinary officials who went there could only be puppets. Even those who thought they had some capabilities, like the previous mayor who attempted to overthrow the security team, faced a tremendously tragic fate. His attempt to gain full control over Pembrook doomed his political career and might even cost him his life. Official Hart didn't want to be a puppet, and he certainly didn't want to lose his life. Going to Pembrook was about enhancing his qualifications to open up more opportunities. In simpler terms, it was about building his portfolio.To go to Pembrook, he must have a good relationship with the security team. Now that the captain of the Pembrook Security team had actively approached him, he had nothing to lose. However, Official
Faye had made arrangements for Jeorgia, while Cedric started an investigation into what the Anderson and Garcia families were doing. Faye knew that this was a trap and that nothing happened by coincidence. However, she didn't know what the culprit's motive was. She didn't have to wait for long because she received a phone call from Tracy later that afternoon. "Faye, you could've come at me if you were upset. Why did you target Grandma? She treated you well, yet you killed her over such trivial matters. Are you even human?"Faye smirked. "Since when do you care about her, Tracy?""What are you talking about? That's our grandmother. You did this, didn't you?""Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it?" Faye sneered. "Don't think that you can do anything you want just because you married someone rich. Faye, don't even dream of getting your murderer of a mother out! I won't let you. You better come back to Jeorgia, or this won't ever be over."With that, Tracy hung up.
Clark's words only enraged Flora. Eleanor abused Faye when she was a child, which led to Faye getting sick repeatedly. She even allowed Lizzie to go into their home to poison Faye while Flora was at work. Faye suffered through so much hardship at the time and came close to dying. She was already poisoned when she was pregnant with Faye, which meant Faye was born with poison in her body. Though Flora tried her best to counter the poison, Faye was still more frail than ordinary children. Eleanor knew that Faye wasn't Clint's child, so she had always been displeased with her. "Had I known that she's the kind of person who can harm a child, I would never leave Faye with her." Rage filled Flora's eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Eleanor started coughing on the bed. Clark shouted and ran outside to get the doctor. Until the doctor arrived, there were two minutes when Flora was alone with Eleanor. It wasn't until the doctor arrived that Flora found out Clark didn't even
Lizzie and Clint were momentarily stunned, confused by Tracy's words. "I just received a call from Uncle. He said that Grandma passed away and we need to go home."Clint jolted and collapsed onto the ground. "What?"Tracy smirked. "They can't reach you or Mom, so he called me instead. We need to go home right now.""Ha! So what if she's dead? She doesn't see us as family, so why should we go back?" Lizzie scoffed in contempt. Eleanor disliked her right from the start. If Eleanor didn't stop her from marrying Clint at the very beginning, Flora would have never gotten married to Clint. Though Eleanor helped get rid of Flora in the end, she continued to mistreat Lizzie when she finally married Clint. Eleanor resented Flora for being too strong-willed and disrespectful. However, she looked down on Lizzie for not being as talented as Flora and incapable of bringing more profit to the Brown family. She kept comparing Lizzie to Flora and bossed her around. Lizzie remained patie
"Damn it! Damn it! It has to be Faye! This has to be her doing. Damn it!" Tracy pushed everything on the table to the ground. Her face twisted viciously with anger. Over the past few days, scandals about her have circulated on the internet. Even information about her age when she started sleeping around and the number of men she slept with for money was released. Evidence of her plotting to steal Anthon away and bring down the Lynch family was released as well. On top of that, there was also information about her working with her mother to chase Flora out and claim Brown Corporation as their own. Every misdeed Tracy had ever committed was exposed before the public's eyes. She became the target of all condemnation. There would be different people gathering near their apartment. As soon as they stepped out of the apartment, they would get beaten. The horrible things that Clint and Lizzie did were later released onto the internet as well. The family of three couldn't even get
Monica suffered from severe depression ever since she married Ethan. She was a strong-willed woman who refused to show any weakness. Even when she was hurt, she would suffer alone and kept giving, not asking for anything in return. Ethan married her but didn't love her. On top of that, he picked on her at every turn and gave her the cold shoulder. She began to get depressed a year after marrying him. With her friend's help, she started treatment. However, the treatment process was painful. Throughout the three years she was married to Ethan, she endured his humiliation without rest, which made recovering much harder. One day, she went to the beach and came close to getting washed away. It was Brody who saved her. Brody went there to look for inspiration for his paintings. When he saw Monica, he was sitting afar and drawing. This painting won Brody countless awards. Just as he was about to leave, there was a high tide, and Monica came close to getting washed away.
Ethan sent the photos and returned to his apartment to wait while drinking. Due to the interview that took place at noon, Ethan's divorce stirred up a storm on Facebook. At the moment, he didn't need to pay to obtain attention. After Tracy declared her innocence, everyone considered Ethan a jerk who heartlessly searched for an excuse to divorce Monica. Ethan waited an hour before releasing the photos. Everyone switched from cursing at him to cursing at him and Tracy. This was not what he expected. He gritted his teeth. Just as he contemplated how to deal with this, he received a bunch of photos. Apart from the intimate photos between him and Tracy, there were ones of Tracy with other men as well. There was even proof that Tracy got an abortion when she was still a teenager. Going through everything, he finally realized how wrong he had been. He misjudged Tracy and recklessly divorced Monica. He didn't love Monica and resented her for forcing him to marry her. Howeve
"You look alright. Who would have thought you are the kind of man who would cheat on your wife?" Eleanor didn't mince her words and immediately kept her distance. Mandy smiled. "Tracy, look at what you've done to your boyfriend.""She stole Faye's boyfriend and sent Anthon's family to prison. Now, she's here destroying Mr. Garcia's family. He lost everything because of her. How interesting," Clark chimed in. He still remembered how Tracy insulted him when he tried to ask Ethan for money. He held a grudge. Tracy's expression darkened. She wanted to run, but the reporters had directed their microphones at her. "Miss, why did you choose to be a homewrecker?""Did you know that Mr. Garcia got a divorce because of you?""Do you know how he got to where he is now? It's because of the alliance he formed with the Dalding family through marriage. Without the Dalding family's help, he may have nothing. Will you still love him even if that's the case?"These questions were confrontati
Faye learned about the Brown family being taken to the police station the following morning. Just as she got up, she received a call from the police station informing her that her relatives had been detained due to a brawl. She was urged to head over to mediate the fight. Faye smiled. "I'm sorry, but they are not my relatives. Please handle it according to the law." After hanging up, she looked at Cedric, who was waiting for breakfast. She hugged him from behind and said with a smile, "Guess what interesting scene I witnessed last night?"Cedric turned his head to study the triumphant look on her face. He smiled. "Why don't you tell me?""Ethan and Tracy were caught in bed together. Didn't you know?""I knew." He pinched her face. "I was the one who asked Monica to go over."Faye rolled her eyes and pouted, losing her interest in the matter. "Why are you asking me if you already knew everything?""You saw it with your own eyes, and I'm just guessing. I prefer to hear it from
