Faye frowned when she saw Hank's face. "I am Faye Brown, but I am not your fiancée," she told him.The room fell into an awkward silence after Faye's statement. Clint didn't expect Faye to run her mouth here. He pulled her aside and warned her, "Faye, if you let your mouth get the best of you again, I'll stop paying your mother's medical fees. Don't you blame me when the time comes. It'll be your fault and no one else's."Then, Clint smiled. "Mrs. Shaw, Hank, Faye just returned from overseas. Forgive her for being disrespectful."Sherry frowned. She was not pleased with Faye's casual outfit, but she still politely offered them all seats. "Please, have a seat. We can discuss everything together."Clint got Faye to sit down before asking Lizzie and Tracy to have a seat. Tracy couldn't help blushing with shyness as she looked at Hank. She was charmed by his appearance."I heard Faye studied design in Yvalia for three years. Hank had a design company there. If Faye is interested,
"Hold on, babe. Are you really married?" Lucy stared at Faye, who was sipping her wine at the bar. She gulped as she continued, "I've been in the country for years, and I still haven't gotten married. How did you do it in just a day after coming back?"Faye tossed the marriage certificate to Lucy. "Why would I lie?""Fuck me!" Lucy took the certificate and read the details on it. Faye also showed Lucy a picture of the man. "Oh wow, this man is a catch. I was wondering why my baby would get married so quickly. You're really goddamn lucky, you know that right? Don't tell me you only knew him for a day. You knew Anthon is and has always been a jerk, right? Is this man your true love in the last few years?"Lucy looked at the photo of Faye and the man. She was so lovestruck that she almost licked the picture.Faye took the marriage certificate and the picture from Lucy before replacing them in her bag. "Stop drooling over his picture. He's mine now!"Lucy laughed. "Look at you. Bo
"Mr. Shaw …" Joe was nervous and tried to explain, but Cedric grabbed the perverted man and beat him up."Is this what you mean by having good security and no one causing trouble under your watch?" Cedric questioned and shot Joe a cold glance."Mr. Shaw… This is an accident. Don't worry. I'll handle this immediately …" Joe apologized anxiously. He then instructed the security guard, "Why are you still here? Throw this guy out."Joe continued to explain, but Cedric stopped him. "Investigate what happened today and give me a reasonable explanation."Cedric approached Faye casually and lifted her chin. "A beauty indeed," he murmured."Why are you here?" Faye frowned. She tried to push his hand away, but he held onto her hand tightly. "I'm asking you a question." Faye glared at Cedric angrily. "I didn't give you money to spend at this place.""Shouldn't I be asking you the same question?" Cedric squinted. "Are you here to splurge just because you are rich?"Faye got married on the
Cedric's presence filled the room with awkwardness. He was still wearing his clothes from yesterday. Under the glaring sun rays, his smile made him look like a prince.Faye's breath caught for a moment. She was confused and charmed at the same time. Her mouth hung slightly open.Cedric's gaze fell on Faye's lips. His breathing quickened.The atmosphere in the room took on a flirtatious vibe immediately.Faye's mouth was open, yet she couldn't say a word. She was so stunned that she forgot to push Cedric away.Cedric laughed at her reaction. He pinched her face and said teasingly, "Have I made you speechless?"Faye suddenly remembered that Cedric was just teasing her earlier. She shoved him out of embarrassment and stood up. "Nonsense! I saw some gunk in your eyes and wanted to wipe it away for you. Not only did you fail to thank me for my kindness, you tried to misinterpret something entirely innocent as well!""Oh?" Cedric looked at the blushing Faye.Faye still looked very
"After Faye returned, did she even visit you once? I'm pretty sure she has forgotten about her mother. She must have been busy hanging out with a group of men all this while. Flora, I don't mean to burst your bubble, but if Faye missed out on marrying Hank, she might end up with some random guy in the future," Lizzie said. "I doubt any random guy would want someone as flawed as her. Besides, marrying into the Shaw household could reform her for the better. Mom and Dad are just being considerate," Tracy added as well.Flora was furious. She kept coughing after hearing Lizzie and Tracy's words. "You ... All of you … Get out! None of you can ruin my daughter's reputation!"Her anger prevented her from speaking.Lizzie pretended to care as she said, "Flora, be careful not to ruin your health. If something happens to you, who will take care of Faye? You don't understand our situation. The company you founded is facing a huge crisis. If Faye doesn't marry into the Shaw household, the co
Faye always thought that her mother had become a bitter woman after what she had been through.After her sickness, Clint's betrayal, and Lizzy's homewrecking, she was emotionally wrecked, especially when Faye left the country.So why was she asking about her medication now?"What? Do you think your mother should be crying her eyes out over that asshole?" Flora could see that Faye was shocked by her question. She smiled sarcastically. "I feel like whacking you in the face."Faye threw her arms around Flora excitedly. "Mom! Oh, this is awesome! You're back to the person you once were!"Indeed, Flora was once a strong, independent woman in the workforce. She'd built a company all on her own and had taken it to greater heights. She'd even helped Clint turn from a nobody to a business veteran.No one expected her to fall sick six years ago. Once her illness began, Clint's warmth and gentleness disappeared. And in less than six months, he took Lizzy and Tracy home without a word. He
Faye strode toward them and saw a plump middle-aged woman. She had thrown everything out of Flora's room. She was also dragging Flora from the bed.Flora's condition had improved since Faye had returned to the country. Still, this woman's words angered her. She began coughing violently, which caused her face to turn red."What are you still pretending for? If you're sick, you can pay for the treatment. But if you're poor, you can't stand in the way of other people getting their treatments. Get the fuck up!""Please calm down, Mrs. Rockley. This is a hospital. Keep your hands to yourself." The nurse tugged at the agitated Mrs. Rockley while holding Flora down. "Ms. Dunham, please contact your family and get them to pay for your treatments. The hospital is in an awkward situation. Our wards are in high demand right now, and many of our patients cannot be hospitalized normally," the nurse told Flora as well.Flora hadn't expected Clint to stop paying for her medical expenses. The fa
Dr. Ziegler frowned when he saw this. He looked at the tall, broad man next to him who was smirking, though his gaze was sharp. He wiped the sweat off his brows. "Mr. S—"Cedric walked toward Faye and stood before her. "How much are the outstanding fees?"Faye was not expecting Cedric to show up at such an awkward moment. She coughed in embarrassment. "I've already paid for them."Cedric raised his eyebrows. "Oh?"The nurse was about to speak, but Mrs. Rockley started screaming again. "What do you mean, paid? You're dirt poor. Forget about the hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can't possibly even afford three months' worth of medical bills.""Clint isn't giving you any money. You wouldn't be able to get a hundred thousand dollars even if you sold yourself." Wendy laughed.Just then, Wendy felt a sharp gaze resting on her. She trembled and instantly felt cold.The nurse finally had her chance to speak. "Dr. Ziegler, Mrs. Rockley and Ms. Wendy have misunderstood. Ms. Brown h
