Faye didn't understand why Tracy would put herself in such a compromising position by trying to get her involved. Had she forgotten that Faye was far more talented than she was? Did she think that performing with someone else could alleviate some of the humiliation she felt?"Are you sure you want to dance with me?" Faye asked. Tracy glanced at the heels Faye was wearing and narrowed her eyes devilishly. "Of course. After all, I can't possibly be compared to your skills. Instead of disturbing the guests with my mediocracy, I figured having you here can at least offer a visual treat for them."Faye came close to sarcastically clapping for Tracy once again. Did she really think Faye didn't notice the cunningness that flashed across her eyes?Faye shrugged. "Don't underestimate yourself, Tracy. This is your chance to prove yourself. It won't be appropriate for me to get in the way of that, right?"Kimberly nodded. "Yeah, Ms. Brown is far too talented to perform with anyone e
"Haha, I didn't expect you to like this, Ms. Brown. I'm slightly surprised," Damien said with a smile."I've suffered from poor health since a young age, so I carry a scent of medicine on me wherever I go. As I got used to it, I started to grow fond of this scent. These cakes were made for me by an old lady I had met when I was a child. At the time, these were the best dishes in the whole world to me. I can't forget about them even now."I recently visited a herb plantation and processing factory, and discovered that they were using herbs with medical properties in food. Aside from soup and ordinary dishes one sees in the market, they even made cakes with herbs. When I returned home, I led my team to begin researching and recreated them over three months."He then sighed. "However, cakes that taste like herbs don't really have much market value.""What if you sell them as a health supplement instead of desserts?" Faye blurted out. His eyes lit up and he shot her a look of appro
A strange feeling rose in Faye's heart. She followed Clint and Lizzie to Victor's room.Clint and Lizzie had lost the arrogance they once had, and both had lost weight.Faye was aware of their recent situation. With the little money they had, Clint and Lizzie joined Lizzie's brother in making an investment. However, Lizzie's brother was not competent. He had only invited Clint to invest because his company was on the verge of collapsing.Unfortunately, Clint was unaware of this and thought it was a great opportunity for a comeback. Hence, he put all his money into the project. In the end, they had lost everything. If Clint hadn't invested in another project before, they might not even have been able to afford to rent a house.Their quality of life sharply declined, making their days very difficult. Lizzie insisted on siding with her family, making it impossible for Clint to retrieve his money.The two were at their wit's end and could barely afford a life in Jeorgia, yet her
Noticing the confused look on Victor's face, Clint knew that his words worked and Victor was starting to believe him. Even if Victor didn't completely believe what he said, Clint had succeeded in piquing his interest and getting him curious. With his head bowed, Clint sighed and pulled Lizzie to the chairs nearby to take a seat. Smiling bitterly, he said, "Yes, the truth. When I first met her, she was alone and had started a small business in Jeorgia. I was one of the managers she hired. She was only in her 20s at the time. "Not only was she beautiful and young, she was also talented and great at running a business. I admired her and thought that a woman like her, who could do anything, was practically a goddess. "She was rich and capable, so I assumed she was an aristocratic lady who only came to get a taste of ordinary life. "However, the more I got to know her, the more I realized that she was different from other high-born ladies. She wasn't proud and was reliable, more
"She said she was sorry about the child. Since things had come to that point, there wasn't much for her to say. I just needed to play the role of a good father, and she would handle the rest."Clint laughed. "Hahaha ... Did she think I would do anything for money? She actually said that as long as I played the role of a dutiful father, she'd transfer five percent of the shares to me when the child turned three, and another five percent at five ..."Although Brown Corporation was named after Clint, he only had a five percent stake. The rest belonged to Flora.Clint had never dreamed that Flora would say such things to him. He was completely dumbfounded and couldn't recover for a long time. After Flora finished speaking, she left and went about her business.When Clint came to his senses, he confronted Flora. However, Flora showed no remorse. She told him, "Initially, I truly didn't know about the pregnancy. I didn't marry you only because of the child, but I can't rule it ou
For a brief moment, Faye felt confused upon hearing Clint's words, causing her to question even her own mother. However, as Clint hastily departed after answering a phone call, she quickly regained her composure.Clint and Lizzie were both cunning and were likely plotting something if they had come all the way here just to say those things to Victor.She came close to getting fooled. Recalling Clint's shouts from inside the room, she didn't hesitate and swiftly hacked the surveillance system near the room before storming inside to find Victor on the bed, unmoving. Her heart sank at the sight and she hurried over to help him up. She then went to check for his pulse—finding none.She worked so hard to revive him previously, yet all it took was a few words from Clint and Victor came close to dying again. Faye was furious. Victor made promises about getting better and claimed to feel hopeful again after meeting her, finally finding the courage to take control of his life. Yet
Indeed, Faye was right. He never truly knew that woman, yet she had given so much for him. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be alive. His body only managed to withstand being plagued by illness for over twenty years because of the training and medicine she gave him. But what about him?He thought he had never doubted her and remained loyal to her. He might be intelligent, but was a fool when it came to love. He had always misunderstood her. She was young and beautiful with countless men pursuing her. Whenever he saw her with another man, he would get jealous and even dreamed of locking her away. When she was involved in the accident, he didn't doubt her and did his best to help her through the hardship to search for the truth.However, he was merely doing what he thought was right and never took her feelings into consideration. Nor had he discussed his decisions with her. Though he was helping her and did manage to resolve a lot of issues, he alerted her enemy and
Lizzie was hurt by the mocking look in Tracy's eyes. She would never let her darling daughter suffer if she had a choice in the matter.But Tracy didn't understand her hardship and even blamed Lizzie for her current plight. However, Lizzie soon let go of the hurt she felt.Tracy wasn't in the wrong ; she was suffering because of her mother's incompetence. Lizzie was the one who caused her pain. Trembling, she held Tracy. "Tracy, my darling. It's my fault. I was incompetent and that's why you're suffering here in Jorn City … It won't happen anymore—our suffering has come to an end. We have money now so we don't have to suffer again …"Tracy frowned and asked, "Money? Where did you get money?"Tracy once placed all her hopes on her parents and frequently asked them for money. However, over a month had passed and she gave up on her parents altogether.They had lost Brown Corporation—and without Flora, they had nothing. Tracy looked down on them and could only plan to get
