Araceli POV
I finished my work and was closing my eyes, leaning back in my chair, ready to take a break. I had only just closed my eyes when my phone suddenly rang. Frowning, I glanced at the phone impatiently. It was Krish and Valeria's teacher, Mayra. I answered the phone, saying politely, "Ms. Scott?" "Ms. Chancey!" Mayra's voice trembled. "Valeria is missing!" "What?" Instantly, I freaked out, and my mind went blank. I did my best to calm down and said, "Ms. Scott, what's going on? You can talk slowly." "Krish and Valeria are missing! I checked the surveillance video and found that Valeria ran out alone. Ten minutes later, Krish also ran out. I think he went to look for Valeria. Our security guard happened to be on shift change at that time, so he didn't notice the two kids running out of the gate..." I hurriedly said, "I'll be right there." Mayra and I said a few words. I grabbed the car keys"Buzz..." The phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated. I calmed down a little and took out the phone. It was Raphael calling. I suddenly snapped back to what crazy thing I was about to do, and the hand holding the gun shook slightly. I couldn't do that. If I killed Melany, I'd go to jail for sure. What would happen to my children then? For me, shooting Melany in the head was the fastest way to get revenge, but it was also the stupidest. I screamed in my heart. I couldn't do that! I couldn't let Krish and Valeria be abused because their mother was a murderer! I hated Melany to death, but I couldn't ruin myself by killing her. Taking a deep breath and getting into my car, I did a drift, turned the car around and drove back. Gripping the steering wheel tightly, I pulled out of the block, and slammed on the brakes. Krish screamed. "Mommy!" My body leaned forward uncontrollly. T
Araceli POV Cold sweat oozed from my forehead, and I didn't dare to move. At that moment, Valeria suddenly reached out and slapped him gently. She was just a little girl, so the slap shouldn't hurt at all, but it still made a crisp sound. Raphael's face became livid. I shuddered slightly, hurriedly led Krish and headed out. Raphael was also stunned. He didn't expect Valeria to slap him at all. I apologized as I opened the door, "Mr. Lancaster, I'm really sorry..." As I spoke, I focused on Raphael's expression. His face was getting colder and colder. "Mr. Lancaster, I have to go now..." I held Valeria, took Krish by hand, and headed out. Valeria let go of my neck, looking self-conscious and apologetic. I walked out of the courtyard and asked her, "Valeria, can you tell me why you came to Mr. Lancaster?" I asked in a low and gentle voice. She blinked in confusion, didn't s
Araceli POV Early the next morning. The morning light cast a soft glow through the gaps in the curtains, filling the room with an atmosphere of peace and warmth. I dropped my two children off at Brizela Daycare and drove to Eclipse Group. I had just entered the office when I heard some employees gathered in the break room talking about something. "Melany is so pathetic. That project was supposed to be hers." "Anyway, Melany is the heir to Eclipse Group, isn't she?" I sneered and walked over. A few of the employees in the break room turned around and were startled to see me. "Ms. Chancey..." They stammered a greeting to me, smiled awkwardly, and bowed their heads. "Nice to meet you guys." I smiled, "Before long, I should be the manager of the marketing department." Several employees looked at each other. At that moment, a woman came over, held her head high and said proudly, "Navi Group is a multina
Araceli POV Early the next morning, I went to Eclipse Group. The employees were talking. "I heard that Navi Group signed a contract with Melany!" "I told you Navi Group wouldn't work with Araceli! She's just bragging." I walked into Eclipse Group's building. Many people looked at me mockingly and snickered. "Araceli is going to get the hell out of here!" I ignored them and walked into the elevator and up to the conference room on the top floor. Benjamin sneered, "Ms. Chancey, Navi Group has partnered with Melany. You are not eligible to attend the shareholders' meeting in the future. Hand over your shares and get out!" Zackary walked over and said coldly, "Don't be so shameless! Why do you come here? Get out!" "Dad, Araceli was just kidding last time." Melany advised, "Araceli holds shares in our company. I can arrange a position for her in the marketing department. What do you think, Araceli?" Melany's v
Araceli POV Shareholders nodded their heads and said, "We agree." Zackary was annoyed, but he had nothing to say at this point. He knew that with Eclipse Group and Navi Group working together, he wouldn't have to worry about anything for the next half year. "Araceli, you'll be the marketing manager from now on. The current marketing manager will become your assistant." I nodded my head. "Thanks, Mr. Chancey." I glanced at Melany, who was so angry that her face turned red. Melany pushed down her anger and said, "Dad, the current marketing manager has a Ph.D. from Harvard, and he's been with the company for ten years. Did you really decide to just make him Araceli's assistant? Dad, I hope you'll reconsider..." I smiled and said, "That makes sense. Melany, since you think the current marketing manager is so good, he could replace you as general manager." Melany's eyes went wide. "Melany, you've been in the position
Araceli POV I frowned and looked over. A little boy was sitting there. I had just raised my head when the boy turned his head away. I could only barely see the side of his face. His face was so familiar to me... And he looked so much like Krish. Wait... I seemed to have seen him somewhere before... I remembered! My eyes widened as a flash of light came to me. I was saved by this boy at Silver Group's new product launch that day. His name was Micah, and he was also a werewolf. I asked Eliezer to check Micah's whereabouts after that, but Eliezer said he couldn't find any information about Micah. I remembered that he was also injured, so I always felt guilty about that. I didn't expect to meet him here. I explained briefly to Gavin and walked over to Micah. After seeing me, Micah got up and walked out. I frowned slightly. His cell phone suddenly rang. Micah picked up
Araceli POVThe next day.Before the night came, I finished my work, changed into my exquisite dress, put on my high heels and got into Eliezer's car.My dress glowed like a starburst of light. The sparkling diamonds were set in the dress, each one glowing like a tiny star. The sparkling effect was even more dazzling when the dress gently swayed.The business dinner was held at the Four Seasons Hotel on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
Araceli POVI looked at Melany indifferently."What exactly is Raphael's relationship with Melany?"Eliezer's voice came from beside me.Eliezer continued, "Raphael actually brought Melany to such an important business party! This is incredible. Holy crap, Araceli, that man is the most promising entrepreneur in New York, the heir to the Chowne family, Jaime Chowne! He's actually hitting on Melany!"He frowned. "If Melan
