Toward the end, Hunter was mostly complaining.Madam Fisher impatiently said, “Alright, alright, if you can’t manage it then I’ll handle it when I get back.”With that, she hung up the phone.Afterward, she immediately sent a message to her assistant and ordered him to check where Hunter was cheating on her.She called home first, and the servant clearly stated that Hunter was not at home.Hunter was obviously lying. Even if his phone was completely out of battery, there was still a charger on the first floor. Did Hunter need to leave his phone upstairs for charging?Nowadays, people cannot be separated from their phones for even a minute.The assistant replied to Belinda after a few minutes.At the moment, Hunter was at Fortress Hotel, an establishment under York Corporation in Jensburg. A long-standing rival of Jensburg Hotel, they were both the most luxurious hotels in Jensburg.A fire ignited in Belinda’s heart as she received this information.It was expensive to stay at
“How many important matters do you still have to handle? Do you trust me? Do you want me to help you with it?” Kevin asked.Hayden said, “There’s no need for that. Is Madam Fisher back in Jensburg?”“She’s on the way from Jensburg Airport. It’ll probably take over forty minutes for her taxi to arrive.”Kevin checked the time and said, “You still have about half an hour to work. After that, we can go to the hotel, and the timing will be just right.”It would be dinner time by the time they arrived, and Madam Fisher would likely think that they coincidentally witnessed the drama unfolding without suspecting any of it was orchestrated.“Do you want to go watch the show?” Kevin asked once again.Glaring at Kevin, Hayden replied, “You’ve already told me. How can I not go watch such an exciting event? Of course, I want to see.”Still glaring, she commented, “I wasn’t originally a person fond of drama. You’re a bad influence.”Surprisingly, she agreed to go with him to witness the spe
“Kevin, if you sneakily take pictures of me again, I’ll smash your phone.”Out of the blue, Hayden warned Kevin.Kevin set down the phone, which was aimed at her for a photo, and chuckled, “Hay, you’re not fully focused on your work. You knew I was taking pictures of you. Either that or you’re paying attention to me while sneakily watching me.”Hayden did not even lift her head, calmly saying, “Do you think you’re as handsome as me? Or am I watching you because you’re uglier?”Kevin was speechless.Kevin could be considered handsome amongst men, but compared to Hayden who was in male attire, he fell short in terms of charisma.“If you switch back to women’s clothing, grow your hair out, you’d look noble and graceful. Breathtaking. Stunning. It would captivate me and make it hard for me to look away.”Hayden did not respond.Seeing that she was not speaking again, after sitting for two minutes, Kevin stood up and walked over to sit in front of her desk. He asked, “Do you want so
"In that case, it'll be convenient for you to use the stones to hit me instead. It's fine even if I bleed. But if I'm hospitalized, you'll have to take responsibility," Kevin said. Hayden exclaimed, "How shameless!"Kevin chuckled. "I thought you would say my love for you is limitless.""It's your shamelessness that's limitless."Kevin laughed. "Can you sit further away? You'll distract me if you sit across from me." Hayden chased him away, not letting him in front of her. Kevin was too talkative and could easily chat with her about anything and everything. However, even if he could sit there in silence, he would still distract her from working with his intense staring, admiring her as if she were a precious treasure. "I won't make a sound, so I won't distract you from working.""Your stare is also distracting."Kevin was pleased as he asked, "Are you shy to admit you love me, Hayden? You're telling me I'll distract you by sitting here, even if I don't make a sound. If th
Hayden had no intention of reclaiming her identity as a woman at the moment.“We haven’t had a grand proposal yet,” Kevin honestly replied.Hugh chuckled. “I thought you already proposed. I mean, it’s such a big deal, how come none of us in the family knew? So, you haven’t had a grand proposal yet, huh? Then when are you going to grandly propose to Hayden?“You better make it grand and pick a crowded place for the proposal. The crowd might even cheer together for my sister to marry you.”As long as Kevin proposed splendidly and was seen by people, there would surely be many onlookers. Perhaps nobody would cheer for Hayden to marry him and instead, they would probably hurl unpleasant words or eggs at her.Some might remind Kevin that within the country, he and Hayden cannot become legally married.Unless Hayden regained her female identity, only then would the marriage proposal from Kevin receive everyone’s blessing.Kevin was also aware of this. “When Hayden is willing to marr
Kevin stared at his future brother-in-law and remarked, “No wonder we get along so well. We’re the same kind of people—shameless and unapologetically so.”Hugh remained silent as Kevin walked away.The future of Queen Enterprise and who would manage it were matters for the Queen family. Even if he became their son-in-law, he would neither interfere nor voice his opinion.This was mainly to avoid others thinking that he was after the Queen family’s money.To be honest, he did not really care about the Queens’ wealth. Although they were one of the elite families in Jensburg, they were not as financially powerful as his own family.As soon as Hayden stopped working, Kevin pushed the door open and entered.“Hay, are you done? Let’s go eat.”Kevin walked over with large strides, smiling at her while asking.Hayden nodded, neatly stacked the processed documents, and pressed the intercom. She informed her secretary to come in and collect them. She then got up and walked around her desk
Belinda did not immediately explode. She inquired, “May I ask if Hunter Clark is here?”“Who? Who’s looking for me?”Hunter happened to come out of the bathroom, having just finished showering.Holding a dry towel to wipe his hair, he asked upon hearing the question.When he saw his wife standing at the door, Hunter was dumbfounded.He thought he was seeing things and quickly rubbed his eyes. Looking again, he still saw his wife’s face, well-maintained but marked by the traces of age.“Darling, she’s looking for you.”The woman stepped aside and addressed Hunter.In her heart, she guessed that Hunter’s wife had come looking for him.She honestly could not care less. She lost count of the number of these men’s wives who came knocking on her door. As long as she did not get involved with men from high society, her true financial backers would not find out.After all, her main sponsor rarely came to see her. He had many women around him, and he might have forgotten about her. F
Belinda slapped Hunter ten times, leaving his face bruised and swollen with blood trickling from his nose and the corners of his mouth.He did not dare fight back.He endured the wrath of his wife.Hunter waited until Belinda stopped, then grabbed her hand and asked with a heartbroken expression, “Honey, did you hurt your hand? Are you tired? I’ll help you blow on it.”Belinda kicked him in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.“Take both of them away.”Belinda coldly ordered the two bodyguards to take them home for further punishment.She would not let anyone who betrayed her off lightly.The two bodyguards immediately entered the room and dragged the woman out, following Belinda.Hunter did not need the bodyguards to help him up. He got up from the ground and obediently followed behind Belinda, begging for mercy as he walked, saying that he had been tricked by the woman. He absolutely denied he had been attracted to the woman and that he had come to the hotel with her cou
