Lewis approached Judy, raising his hand to smooth her hair, "Everyone has to pay the price for their own mistakes." As he spoke, his hand moved slowly towards the bottom of Judy's hip...The next day.Judy didn't have to go to the company anymore. After the incident, how could she still work at Meike Group?She sent a resignation letter to Perona's email. Perona agreed. Judy was Lewis's wife, and with such a scandal, it would only cause Judy more trouble if she stayed. Perona readily agreed and even added an additional six months' salary from her personal account as compensation for Judy.Judy had to admit that Perona was very considerate and had a broad perspective. After sending Amelia to the police station, she didn't cause any more trouble for Judy.Judy was unemployed this time. She pondered Lewis's words about entrepreneurship.Judy planned to open a pizza shop. She loved pizza and had always dreamed of owning a pizza shop and being her own boss. Now, this dream was within reach
Judy arrived at the hospital in a hurry to see the weak and emaciated John on the hospital bed, and she was taken aback.It was only a short time since they had last seen each other, how did John lose so much weight?John, upon seeing Judy, appeared confused: "Judy, what are you doing here?"John had fainted on the street and was taken to the hospital. The emergency contact on his phone was Judy, so the hospital called her.The doctor was giving John an IV drip, and Judy walked in to ask, "Doctor, what's wrong with my friend?"Judy didn't ask John directly; he wouldn't tell the truth anyway.The doctor said, "The patient is severely anemic and malnourished, and overwork led to a coma. Young people can't take this kind of abuse; they must prioritize rest and nutrition."The words "severe anemia" and "malnutrition" were so unexpected that Judy was taken aback. They had both been orphans who struggled to go to school and make their way in society; they had never experienced malnutrition.
As the blood donation certificate fell out, John's face showed a mix of panic and embarrassment. He hadn't picked it up in time, and Judy had already done so. Seeing the blood donation information on it, Judy's tears instantly fell."Judy, I..." John was terrified of seeing Judy cry; he was at a loss.Judy embraced him, a hug between family members. She was heartbroken to see what his parents had reduced John to—selling blood and delivering food. No wonder he was severely anemic and malnourished!"John, you silly fool." Judy hit his back in frustration.This scene was unfortunately caught by Susan, who had arrived just in time to see it. Susan, who John had contacted, didn't enter but hid at the door and took photos with her phone.Remembering the time she called Judy for help and was rudely hung up on, Susan's resentment grew even stronger.In the hospital room, Judy released John and said, "You're not allowed to go back there. You're trying to drive me crazy. Let's go, I'll take you
Susan's attempt to find psychological balance was doomed to fail. Judy said, "He mentioned that the wedding preparations should be ready before the end of the year, and the bride price has already been given. His family is very satisfied with me and gave a lot of wedding gifts.""Impossible!" Susan couldn't control her emotions at first but then lowered her voice to explain, "I'm just surprised that his family accepted you so quickly, Judy. Congratulations, when you have your wedding, I want to be your bridesmaid. That was our agreement."A bridesmaid role for Susan?Judy was not as magnanimous as she seemed and politely refused, "Lewis has already chosen the bridesmaid."John agreed, "Susan, you being a bridesmaid is indeed not appropriate."Susan might have been expected to get angry, but instead, she laughed and said, "Yes, I haven't considered everything. Judy, I can't be your bridesmaid, but can I still attend the wedding? You wouldn't deny me a toast just because of a man, would
Susan felt that John had received a house while she got nothing. Judy had promised to share happiness and wealth, promising to buy her a house and start a company, but now there was nothing for her.Susan thought Judy was suspicious of her and didn't consider her a sister by holding back the gift until Susan left. The thought of Judy giving away a house so casually made Susan jealous, as she had to be careful with what she received from Lewis, which were only luxury bags, while Judy had received so much more.Clearly, Lewis was really good to Judy, at least better than he was to Susan.Susan left the restaurant, calculating how to get Judy to give her a house and money as well. She also pondered how to make Lewis see the photos she took at the hospital.……After Judy's persuasion, John eventually accepted the house.Having a house would make his parents more comfortable.Aaron had always wanted to move to a new house, and Judy's gift came just in time, solving many of his problems.In
Bill had previously promoted John due to his friendship with Lewis, but now, even the initial screening had been failed, which did not look like there was any relationship at all.Bill was puzzled: "What exactly is going on? Is it possible that John and Lewis don't have any connection?"The colleague said, "Sir, I just inquired at Kaler Group. Lewis hasn't even married, how can John be his brother-in-law? Moreover, John has been delivering food and I even saw him selling blood at a donation station. He's so short of money that he's reduced himself to this state. How could he possibly know Lewis?"The fact that Lewis was married was not widely known, not even among the company's employees.Hearing this, Bill immediately frowned: "Call John here."……At the same time, at Kaler Group.Lewis had just returned from outside and asked, "Have we found a new legal team yet?"Leo responded, "We have preliminarily screened several, Sir. Take a look at the information."Leo handed over the inform
Leo's words caused John to pause for a moment before he reacted, extending his hand, "Leo, hello, I'm John."Leo smiled and said, "Lewis sent me here. Your law firm has passed the review, and Lewis wants you to handle the communication. However, there is some regret now that you are no longer an employee of this firm. I heard that you were fired just now, so I can only go back and report, and start the process of selecting a new law firm."These words were spoken by Leo intentionally, for Bill's benefit.He was helping John.Bill was already shocked the moment Leo approached John.John was really connected to Kaler Group?Otherwise, how could Lewis have personally requested John to handle the matter?John exclaimed in surprise, "Lewis sent you here?"Bill immediately changed his expression, smiling, "John, that was just a joke between us. This is a good thing, and I knew you could do it. Leo, Lewis has chosen our law firm, right? For the next matters, let John communicate with you. He
Lillian is only two years younger than Perona, but their father only allowed Perona to enter the company, denying Lillian the chance.This was a family rule. Only the eldest child, whether male or female, was entitled to inherit the family business. Children not chosen were not allowed to join Meike Group and had to fend for themselves outside.Their father provided Lillian with an initial capital to start her own business and offered no further assistance.In terms of business acumen, Lillian may not have been as accomplished as Perona, but she was a competitive and ambitious woman with a strong sense of purpose. At fifty years old, she was still unmarried."Alright, I'll go upstairs and check on her. Don't worry," Lillian hurried up the stairs.The door was locked from the inside by Amelia, and Lillian knocked, "Amelia, it's me, open the door quickly."Soon, the door opened.Amelia fell into Lillian's embrace and burst into tears, "Lillian, you're finally back, I've been so mistreat
