Amelia's words hit Perona right in the heart.Perona's eyes were red, and she was at a loss with her daughter. She so badly wanted to teach her daughter well."Amelia," Perona wiped her eyes, "I've been trying my best to make up for you, hoping for your sake. No parents in the world would wish their children ill. Your father passed away early, and I wasn't by your side. How can I make up for the fifteen lost years?"Amelia's leg was injured, so she could only stand on one foot or lie in bed.Hearing Perona's words, Amelia showed no gratitude and said, "Then why did you fire Judy? I don't want to see her. Mom, you used to give me whatever I wanted. I fired Judy, so why did you call her back?"Amelia just didn't like Judy from the start. She instinctively felt that Judy would take away everything from her.Perona replied, "I'm just discussing the matter at hand. Judy is very capable and a talented person worth cultivating. And she didn't make any mistakes. Amelia, my company will eventu
Lewis hadn't left; he was sitting outside on the balcony, conducting a video conference.To avoid disturbing her sleep, he had closed the sliding door and was wearing headphones.He wore white casual clothes, his face expressionless, always cold and distant to the outside world.He once said that if a person was nice to everyone, they would inevitably attract unnecessary trouble. As the head of Caler Group, he also needed to be imposing enough to keep his subordinates in check.His smiles and gentleness were reserved for her.Judy, wearing his shirt, leaned against the door and window, silently watching him.Her nightgown from last night had been torn by him, so she just picked up one of his clothes and put it on.She wasn't wearing a bra, and her legs were exposed, which made her look very enticing just by standing there casually.Her body bore marks from last night.Lewis saw her and lost all interest in the meeting.He quickly ended the video conference, took off his headphones, an
Before meeting Lewis, Judy was strong-willed and relied on herself for everything.Without any background, she could only rely on her own efforts to live a stable life in Birmingham.Now that she had Lewis, he slowly eroded her tough heart, making her softer, as if she had found her roots.They now had a home, and home was the root.Judy also longed for a home. As an orphan, she was like a drifting weed, now it was different, she had a home.A marriage certificate tightly bound her and Lewis together, making them family.She sat on the edge of the bed, and he kissed her lips: "Have some fruit first. We still have some time before dinner.""Okay." Judy relaxed and took a break....After talking to Judy, John lit a cigarette. He had just smoked halfway when his boss came.The boss slapped John on the forehead: "I pay you to work, not to enjoy yourself here. You've been at the law firm for so long and haven't improved at all. Lately, you've been late, leaving early, and taking leaves. J
John donated blood, trying to get a bit more money, he said to the staff, "Draw more blood, I'm in good health." The staff said, "You can only draw so much at a time, any more would be too much, eat some eggs to replenish yourself when you get back." After donating blood, John received eggs and milk, thinking to take these back to nourish his parents and older brother. Checking the time, John hurriedly drove to the place for dinner. The place Lewis chose, even if it was ordinary, was still somewhere John could not afford. He was stunned by the grand and imposing entrance when he arrived. The service here was good, with a waiter leading the way in. The restaurant was huge, and John followed the waiter for a long time. "Sir, this is it." The waiter pushed open the door to the room. John looked at the splendid decoration and guessed who might be inside. Sure enough, when John walked in, he saw Lewis and Judy sitting in the private room. "John." Seeing him arrive,
Bill was astonished. Someone like Lewis was a person from the upper echelons of society that they could never reach. Tim carefully look: "Sir, it seems to be John. John is really hiding his light under a bushel, knowing Lewis." "Follow them to see." Bill, to be sure, quietly followed behind. When he saw with his own eyes that Lewis was helping John into the car, he confirmed that John knew Lewis, and it seemed that they had a pretty good relationship. John, drunk, had poor self-control and shouted loudly, "Drink, drink more, I'm not drunk. Lewis, I'm telling you, you can't bully my sister. I'm not just a figurehead as her brother..." "John, you've had too much to drink." Judy had never seen John so drunk before, and he was talking without restraint. She quickly helped steady him and closed the car door. Lewis, having drunk alcohol, could not drive, but a driver was already waiting for him. The driver started the car and asked, "Sir, where to?" Lewis looked at Ju
The inside of the wedding ring was engraved with letters, the capital letters J and L, the abbreviation of Judy and Lewis's names. This careful thought and romance are the true value of the wedding ring. Judy smiled: "Lewis, you always surprise me." He tilted his head slightly and said in a deep voice by her ear: "There will be more surprises in the future, dear wife, look forward to it." "I'm looking forward to it." Judy laughed. The elevator opened, and the two walked home hand in hand. They were still staying in a hotel today. ... John dozed off on the sofa for a while, and the alcohol gradually sobered him up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Scarlett beside him. John propped himself up and said, "Mom." "John, you're awake. Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?" Scarlett asked with concern. This concern made John a little flattered, because after recognizing his biological parents, this was the first time he felt cared for. "Mom, I'm not thirsty."
John's sudden change in attitude, not only buying breakfast but also returning all the previous money to John, made him very flustered. John stood up: "Bill, thank you, I will work hard. I'm going to Kunsei Group to talk about a cooperation now." John was afraid that his boss would find an excuse to fire him. He couldn't lose his job. Bill smiled and said, "I'll let Tim handle this. You don't have to go, John. You're too low-key. You've been in the law firm for so many years and have hidden it well." John was confused: "Bill, what do you mean?" He worried that he might have made another mistake. Bill smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid, I already know. I didn't expect you to be so close to the president of Caler Group. I saw you drinking together last night, and Lewis personally helped you into the car. John, I've submitted a promotion recommendation letter for you. You are now a full-fledged lawyer, no longer an assistant." John finally realized that it
Judy composed herself and walked respectfully to Perona's desk: "Chairman, you called for me." "Judy, you must follow up on the matter of the Southwest project at all times and not be careless. Go to the site again this afternoon..." Perona instructed the work. Judy listened attentively. As for Isabella beside her, she had to pretend not to know her. Isabella kept staring at Judy, observing her clothing and behavior. Noticing that Judy was wearing a ring on her ring finger, Isabella felt a surge of anger. As Lewis's mother, now that Judy and Lewis had registered their marriage, she was Judy's mother-in-law. Seeing Judy not even greeting her, the anger in Isabella's heart intensified. After Perona finished her instructions, Isabella deliberately said, "Perona, what's the name of this employee? Can she make tea? I'm thirsty and want to have some tea." Perona didn't know if Judy could either, and she looked at Judy. Judy turned to Isabella and said, "Hello, my name
