Cherry showed no sign of stopping and walked past him.

Larry pursed his lips and did not yell at her. The calmer she was, the more suspicious he felt toward her.

He was not anxious as he had already located his target. If she was indeed the same woman from five years ago and he behaved hastily, she might flee again.

Therefore, he decided to change his approach this time. He heard that boiling a frog slowly in warm water was a good idea.

In the hall, Nelly saw Stanley. Immediately, she got excited and, with an enthusiastic smile, she approached him. “Sir, you're here, I…”

She put on what she believed was her most beautiful smile and spoke in her most delicate voice. With her qualities, she assumed he would consider her.

“You're blocking my way.” Stanley lifted his head and glanced at her as though he was looking at a pile of trash.

The crowd directed their gaze towards him when he made an abrupt appearance. Some people also felt envious when Nelly approached him.

    "That's right. Sis asked Grandpa to bring her home as soon as she recovered. She claimed to still be in love with Hardy and begged Grandpa to pull a few strings so that they could get married. However, Grandpa was reluctant, hence he threw this banquet for Sis in the hope that she would find a more suitable marriage candidate. Yet, from the looks of it, Sis only has eyes for Hardy, since she hasn't interacted with other people in the banquet apart from him." An idea rose in Nelly's mind as she seemed to figure out something from what Stanley said earlier. She then proceeded to fabricate a web of lies while keeping a straight face. "It's evident that Sis has truly invested her heart in Hardy. Not long ago, we were caught in a misunderstanding involving him and Sis is still angry with me even until now." Nelly pursed her lips slightly, her face a pinched mask of grievance. It was obvious to Stanley, who was the chief of police, that Nelly was feeding him false information. Besides, he

    “I don't like women who are too pretty,” Larry replied straightforwardly without hesitation. As if troubled by a profound thought, his gaze lingered on her face intentionally as he spoke.“There are also plenty of them who are wise, elegant, and prescient.” Cherry persuaded herself to calm down. There was no need for her to get infuriated with an insignificant person.She was certain she could convince him with some smooth talk.“I don't like women who are overly smart either.” His eyes remained on hers as the words rolled off his tongue naturally.Slightly startled, Cherry managed to regain her composure and kept that grin glued on her face, although it was starting to look a little awkward and freaky.To hell with him. Was he beating around the bush to indicate she was hideous and slow-witted? She could brush off the fact that he had called her names, but did he have to appear so smug as if he was certain his desire would come true?Had she accidentally dug out his ancestral tomb or

    “Oh, yes, the mention of Larry reminded me of something. Larry's father seems to have gotten anxious about Larry's marital status lately. He even threatened to hand over all the family business to Larry's younger stepbrother if he doesn't get married by the end of this month.”Cherry's eyes twinkled as she remembered what Larry had said earlier. He was not lying when he expressed his desire for a wife.Perhaps he was worried because it was the lifeline that ensured his succession to his family's business.However, out of all the women available, why did he set his eyes on her?Of course, Cherry did not know that if it were not for her, Larry would not even bat an eyelid about his father forcing him into a marriage.“Therefore, it might not be impossible.” Edward's face was filled with unusual delight.“What is?” Cherry who was lost in her own thoughts could not catch up with the direction this conversation was heading.“You and Larry.” Edward looked at his granddaughter with enthusias

    Larry lifted his gaze slowly to meet Cherry's.Secretary Leo stood nearby. He thought Cherry’s acting appeared rather pompous and his lips twitched as if he was suppressing a smile. Nonetheless, for reasons unknown to himself, her acting integrated into the given circumstance harmoniously.In spite of that, he was unable to pinpoint which aspect in particular.Larry held her gaze with quiet intensity.“Sir, are you here to catch a flight too? Where are you heading to?” If he continued to remain silent, Cherry thought she could find a chance to sneak away after exchanging a few words of greetings.In actuality, she realized she had gone over the top with the greetings earlier. They had only met once, after all.Although it was true that they had discussed a marriage arrangement on their first encounter.“I was waiting for you.” Larry admitted finally, breaking the silence. The straightforward reply he provided left her with no room to save the situation.“…”She was at a loss for words

    “So, what’s your plan?” Under Larry’s penetrating stare, these words rolled off Cherry's tongue against her will.She felt the urge to punch herself in the face as soon as her voice trailed off. She should not have shown concern about his plans.Was she genuinely stupid or had she gone mad when she raised that question? Did she just dig herself into a hole?Was it too late to rectify her mistake?Obviously, there was no turning back. Larry replied almost immediately, “Should we go to court? Or your family's Residence?”He made his intentions crystal clear.However, he did not pressure her to head over to her family's Residence this time around because she made it clear that she was strongly against that idea. Instead, Larry gave her a choice.He should not drive her to an impasse or it might backfire.Her lips twitched. Her intuition was right; she had dug her own grave and it was an awful mistake.Larry was cruel; not only did he lower her into the depths of ground but also blocked e

    “President.” Secretary Leo was rather confused upon seeing Larry and Cherry leaving the building not long after. Had they gotten married? Or not? “To James Villa” Larry threw a quick glance at him before entering the car. “Yes.” Secretary Leo understood within seconds that they had gotten married successfully. James Villa was the President’s main place of residence. The President had instructed him to drop Madam off back home. Without waiting for Larry’s instruction, Cherry entered the car after him and positioned herself in the backseat. Her cell phone rang a few seconds later. Cherry’s eyes twinkled with brilliance upon seeing the name of the caller. Her Senior? Why was Senior calling her at this time of the day? Did something bad happen? “Hello.” She picked up the call after a moment of hesitation and was in quite an awkward position because Larry was sitting right beside her, hence she decided not to exchange greetings. Larry stole a glance at her out of the corner of his

    At that moment, Cherry who was lightheaded did not register the meaning of the words she heard; perhaps she did but could not bring herself to come up with a response in a matter of seconds. Therefore, her expression remained unchanged as she continued looking at Larry blankly. The latter gritted his teeth in silent fury. He knew from the start that this woman was as sly as a fox. Well, well, well. He was eager to find out how long she could keep on this pretense. He raised a hand and placed it on her back. Cherry’s body froze for a split second and she quickly recollected herself. All her life, she had never been this close to a man or had she allowed herself to be touched in this way, apart from that accident that happened that one night. If he were to force himself upon her, she would surely stand up for herself even if it meant revealing her identity. However, when she lifted her gaze again to meet with his, she immediately realized the intention deeply hidden in his eyes.

    “Which woman?” Ken was extremely curious. “No, no way. That’s impossible. Even if Larry is suspicious of her, he wouldn’t marry her purely for that reason.” Stanley shook his head continuously and his face was washed over with disbelief. He was not convinced that his brother would marry that woman. “F*ck me. It’s Cherry West.” Stanley almost jumped from his seat when his doubt was confirmed. Boss Tony suddenly raised his head to regard Stanley. There was a slight change of emotion displayed on the former’s face. “Cherry West?” On the other hand, Ken was completely baffled. “Which Cherry West? How come this is the first I’ve heard of her?” “The one that’s rumored to be hideous and stupid.” Stanley who had not yet recovered from the bombshell did not know how else to explain the situation properly. “Larry's got a unique taste.” Ken uttered slowly after a long break of silence. Larry tiptoed around quietly when he returned to the villa. He crept upstairs to Cherry’s room and knock

Since that matter was brought up again, he wanted to kill someone.He really wanted to kill Bovi at that moment.However, he also hated Cherry. He hated that she was without her disguise when she was with Bovi. She was as beautiful as a goddess. Yet, when she saw him, she put her disguise back on and pretended that it was her original appearance, afraid that he would see her true appearance and be less Interested in her.Why did he have to be treated so unfairly? He was her husband. He was a man worthy of his name.Did she figure it out?“Yes,” Seeing that he asked, Cherry answered truthfully. She had indeed put on a disguise after seeing him.“Cherry, you're really something. Why? He can see your true appearance, but I can't? Hmm?” Larry was fumin

    When Larry saw the worry on her face, his chest tightened a little. Of course, he knew that she worried about her senior, not him. To be exact, she was worried that he would harm Bovi.This damned woman, did she forget who her husband was?It was him, he was her husband, her man.However, she was worried about another man in front of him!“I knew about Bovi a long time ago.” Seeing her expression, Larry felt stifled and aggrieved, so he deliberately added, “I know everything, including everything about him in Country M. ”Actually, Larry was not wrong. During this period of time, he had indeed ordered people to investigate many things about Bovi in Country M.Of course this also included Cherry.“To be honest, Bovi really got in my way.” Larry knew what Cherry was worried about, so he deliberately added this sentence, making it ambiguous.“So?” Cherry quietly sighed and looked at him. Although there was not much of a change in her expression, there were still fluctuations in her voice

    As he spoke, his lips suddenly pressed against the back of her neck. His teeth opened slightly, and he bit her skin bit by bit. At this moment, he really wanted to bite her to death.In her heart, was Bovi that important?They had been married for so long, so why was he not in Bovi's position in her heart?Feeling that he was biting the back of her neck, Cherry suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She suddenly thought of those vampires on TV shows.Regarding his question, she had been at war with herself for a very long time. In fact, she still did not have a clear answer. However, she felt that if she did not give him a satisfactory answer now, he might really bite her to death, then, he would suck her blood dry like a vampire.When she felt his teeth touching her skin again, she quickly said, “No, you're important. You're most important. ”Larry suddenly stopped moving and paused for a few seconds. Then, he quickly sat up straight and looked straight at him. He said in a deep voice,

    Bovi quickly drove away.Larry saw Bovi's car stop. Without any hesitation, he quickly opened the taxi door and stepped out with his long legs while the taxi was still moving.Fortunately, the taxi driver saw the car in front stop and slowed down as well.However, it was still very dangerous.The driver was so frightened that his heart was pounding. Did this person want to lose his life?Who was he chasing so desperately?When Larry got out of the car, he saw that Cherry had already gotten off. Larry's eyes narrowed quickly, and with a few steps, he stood in front of her.At that point, Bovi had already driven far away.The taxi driver parked right behind Larry because Larry had not given him the money for the ride, and the driver did not dare to ask for it.From the driver's point of view, he only saw a woman standing in front of Larry. The corners of the driver's lips twitched slightly.No wonder he chased her so desperately. It seemed like he was catching a woman.Just as Cherry ha

    Jerry was about to call when he stopped. Then, he found another phone number and used that number.He originally thought that checking a car on a surveillance camera was a simple matter because there were surveillance cameras on many roads in this City. The car left Garnings Mall, which was the most bustling place with many surveillance cameras.However, Jerry checked all the roads ten miles away from the mall, but he did not find that car.He would not doubt Larry's words, but he really did not find it.Instead, he saw Stanley's car leaving the mall, heading east, wandering on the road…Jerry did not know what had happened, but he felt that it was not a coincidence that Stanley's car had appeared there.“Larry, we did not find the car you mentioned.” Jerry quickly called Larry because he felt that this matter was very important to Larry, so he was afraid that he would delay Larry's matters.“Mm, I got it,” Larry replied in a low voice and did not say much. If Jerry could not find it,

    Bovi was a smart person, and he understood Cherry. He knew that under such circumstances, any more words from him would only make her suspicious.He indeed wanted to deliberately separate her from Larry, but he did not want her to notice it.“Alright, then I'll bring the children back first. You should go back as soon as possible.” Bovi forced himself to say something that went against his wishes.“Thank you, Senior. ” The corners of Cherry's lips curled up slightly as he smiled faintly. The children were brought up in Country M. They had a big family there and everyone else was like family. Therefore, she was not worried about them going back.In the past, when she had a mission, everyone would take care of the children.On the other side, Larry looked at the text message sent by Stanley on his phone. His slightly narrowed eyes quickly revealed a strange look before the corners of his lips slowly curled up.On the other side, Larry looked at the text message sent by Stanley on his ph

    “I know. Larry just asked you to send the location, right? If that happens, we will likely be exposed. Therefore, I hope you can help us next.” Bovi's tone was full of determination, he sounded very amiable.“What do you mean? How can I help you?” Stanley's brows were tightly knitted together, and there was a hint of doubt in his expression.“You can send the location over to Larry, but after that, you need to walk in the opposite direction of where we're heading to. Just keep walking.” Bovi's expression looked even more gentle, and his words were also very casual.As he spoke, he returned the phone to Stanley. “What? You mean you want me to lie to Larry? Impossible, absolutely impossible.” When Stanley heard his words, he immediately exploded. He shook his head and refused without thinking.Stanley was not stupid, so he naturally understood Bovi's meaning. He couldn't lie to Larry.The last time at the police station, he had no choice but to let that woman leave because Larry still

    Moreover, their principal kept nodding and saying yes. It had to be true.“Let's go.” He looked at Cherry, still smiling gently.“Okay,” Cherry replied softly. She originally thought that her senior's method would be very tough, but the result was not bad. It could be considered robbing the poor to give to the rich.Cherry knew that since her senior would appear, he would definitely know what was going on. Therefore, she did not need to investigate further and could directly ask her senior.“Hubby, why do you have to do this? Why do we have to listen to him?” The fat woman came back to her senses and felt her heart ache. Her kindergarten no longer belonged to them, yet they still had to pay for it?Was this even logical?“Shut up. I'll be thankful if my son and I can save our lives today.” The man slapped her hard again.Just as Cherry carried Tania out of the office, Bovi took her from Cherry's arms.Cherry was stunned, but she did not say anything. Instead, she reached out to hold Z

    When Cherry said that she was going to meet him, Larry clearly heard that she had already gotten out of the car. Logically speaking, she should have arrived a long time ago, so why was she still nowhere to be seen?He knew that she never wanted to reveal the fact that they were married, so if she wanted to look for him, she had to come through his private elevator.Larry walked out of the office and went straight to the private elevator. He saw that the private elevator was still parked on his floor.He then checked all the surveillance videos, but he still did not see Cherry's shadow.He narrowed his eyes and a hint of confusion was on his face. Where did she go?Could she be shopping in the mall below? It was said that women loved shopping in malls.However, after being married to her for so long, he did not seem to have seen her shopping in the mall, nor did he see her buy anything.No, last time, she had bought him a wallet, which was the one he was using now.
