“I mean whatever you meant.” Madeline did not bother explaining or arguing with Hannah. “If you had really come to your senses, then you should do your work properly with me. But if you hadn’t, then I’d remind you not to say anything unseemly at inappropriate times.”Madeline decisively and straightforwardly warned Hannah. Her arrogant eyes scanned Hannah’s face before she strode into the factory. Hannah, terrified that Madeline would see the tampered data, quickly ran up to stop her. “Eveline! Stop right there, Eveline!”“Don’t let that person enter the factory.”Without even turning back, Madeline ordered the security guard who was watching the entrance to the workshop before continuing walking inside coolly. The security guard stopped Hannah from entering. When Hannah saw that Madeline had entered the building, she angrily stomped her feet. She waited outside the door anxiously, nervous that Madeline would sense something wrong. Approximately half an hour later, Madel
The look in Madeline's eyes prevented Hannah from lying.Hannah, somewhat guilt-ridden, hesitated and looked out of the car window, then chuckled sadly.“What other choice do I have? I have to go on with my life, so I have to compromise, don't I?”Hannah replied reluctantly.“Now, I finally understand that I simply can't compete with you. I was too self-righteous and naive from the start. Also, Mr. Whitman is not a man I can strive for.”Hannah said with a sad sigh and lowered her eyes.“Mr. Whitman is a very attractive man. I only blame myself for not recognizing my identity and status. I insisted on wishful thinking, and now I’m like a moth to a flame. Sigh…”Hannah sighed deeply after saying that.Madeline looked at Hannah calmly and listened to what she said.“Is there anything else you want to say to me besides this?” Madeline asked meaningfully.Hannah was taken aback for a moment. She then lifted her head, met Madeline's gaze, and spoke with certainty.“I have already
A mischievous, expectant smirk appeared on her face as she watched the client squirt a few pumps of the perfume on the test paper. The client then shook the test paper, brought it to his nose, and sniffed.However, before the client finished smelling the perfume, Hannah faintly smelled a faint and similar scent.This faint and light scent was clearly the smell of the bottle of perfume that she smelled in Madeline’s laboratory that day.It was the exact same scent!“This is it. How refreshing.” The client’s praises pulled the currently dumbstruck Hannah back to her senses.Hannah stared blankly at the client who picked up another bottle of perfume to try out the scent. Once again, there was no difference.The smell of this batch of perfume was exactly the same as one Madeline brought on the day of the testing!This greatly confused Hannah, but at the same time, it also greatly depressed her and pissed her off.“Mr. Whitman, Mrs. Whitman, I am very satisfied with this collaborati
Hearing what Madeline asked and seeing the content that Madeline was referring to, Hannah was certain that Madeline had already known what Hannah had done!Hannah’s expression changed drastically, her face turning pale and red, seemingly mortified.Madeline calmly looked at Hannah. “At the time, Jeremy reminded you, didn’t he? He told you to leave my laboratory as soon as possible and to not touch anything in there, but you still did.”Hannah, not wanting to be convicted just like that, gritted her teeth and argued.“What did I touch? Eveline, don't try to wrongfully accuse me again!’“You know very well whether I’ve wronged you. The surveillance in my laboratory captured it very clearly too. Why? Do you want to verify it?”“...”At the mention of the surveillance, Hannah was momentarily speechless.She stared at the calm and composed Madeline, and Hannah felt powerless to argue. As such, she simply let go of all pretenses.“Eveline, you've known it for a long time, so why are
‘Am I actually hateful in Mr. Whitman's eyes?’She felt more and more aggrieved, tears of dissatisfaction fell from her eyes. Exasperated, she then raised her hand and swept the perfume bottles on the shelf.“Jeremy, Eveline, I hate you!”Hannah yelled at Madeline and Jeremy, then she turned around and ran away, not caring where she was running to.Jeremy frowned. He did not care about Hannah, but he felt sorry for the smashed perfume.“She broke some of them, and now the quantity isn’t right. I’ll ask the factory to work overtime,” Jeremy said and was about to make the call.Madeline stopped him and said, “It doesn't matter. Mr. Sutton is very easy-going, and it’s not a lot, so he won't mind.”Jeremy knelt and picked up the broken perfume bottle. “What I feel sorry for is your hard work.”Upon hearing this, Madeline's heart warmed.She smiled and walked up to Jeremy's side, then she squatted down and cleaned the perfume on the ground with him.“I think she’ll come back again
Carter roared out furiously and hung up.Shirley did not know why he was so angry, nor did she know who the person on the other end of the phone was. She only knew that Carter did not bring her to F Country to avoid being pursued. He must have other reasons.Carter ended the call and threw the phone onto the sofa.He furrowed his eyebrows; his face looked extremely distressed.A while later, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After spacing out for a few seconds, he recomposed himself and walked toward the balcony.Shirley looked away and did not look at Carter again.Carter understood Shirley's current attitude towards him. He had gradually adapted to it. He did not feel very disappointed or sad because he could feel that in Shirley's heart, he was still very much present.“I'm going out now to buy some daily necessities. You just stay here, don't go anywhere,” Carter informed and urged at the same time.Shirley laughed sarcastically. “I’m a disabled person whose lower
His gaze darkened, and he turned back to the rented car.Approximately twenty minutes later, Carter saw Fabian carrying Lillian back into the car.His car was parked behind Fabian's car so that he could easily observe Fabian and Lillian's movements.After a while, Fabian started the car and Carter followed behind.He saw Fabian leading Lillian into a toy store that sold Barbie dolls. They then went to sit at a dessert shop for a while before they finally went back to the villa.After a few days of observation, Carter realized that this was the sequence in which Fabian took Lillian out of the house every day.As for Carter, he had completely figured the sequence out.What Shirley could not figure out was what Carter was doing when he went out at such a time every day.Intentional or otherwise, she had probed and asked him before. However, Carter, who evidently did not want to tell her, would muddle over the topic or change the subject each time she asked.The more Carter behave
Dumbfounded, Shirley stared at what Carter was doing in disbelief.‘Had he been following that car just to abduct that little girl?‘But who was that little girl?’During her moment of shock, Shirley saw Carter quickly starting the car to drive away.At that moment, Fabian quickly ran out of the dessert shop.He looked anxious, and his eyes were filled with worry.Shirley did not know Fabian, but she could see how uneasy and sick with worry he was at the moment.“Driver, please start driving,” Shirley told the driver who was looking at his phone.The driver looked out of the window and noticed the car just now was gone.“Miss, where would you like to go now? Are we going to follow the car just now?” the driver asked politely.Shirley shook his head. “No need. I saw the person in the car and he’s not my friend. I made a mistake. Please take me back to where you picked me up.”“Alright,” the driver answered and started the car quickly.Shirley was very distracted on the way b
