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
Amelia is not Perona's daughter but Lillian's. The unfairness of their father's decision filled Lillian with resentment. After Perona gave birth to a daughter, Lillian abducted and abandoned the child, and then, fifteen years later, she had her own biological daughter pose as Perona's daughter and return to Perona's side.At the time Lillian gave birth to Amelia, she had planned to have her child on the same day as Perona to switch the babies, but there was a complication, and her own daughter was actually abducted.As a result, Lillian was even more determined not to let Perona have her way and thus abducted Perona's biological daughter.Over the years, Perona has been searching for her biological daughter, while Lillian has been searching for her own daughter in secret.Lillian's pregnancy was unknown to anyone, both in the outside world and within the family. Lillian has always been single, with no children, in the eyes of both the public and her family.After Perona became pregnan
Amelia was very resistant to learning business and said impatiently, "Aunt Lillian, how come you're just like my mom, always pushing me to do business. We have enough people here, our family has so much money, I have more than enough to spend. All I want to do now is get rid of Judy."These words would drive Lillian mad.Lillian and Perona were both capable people in the business world, but Amelia only cared about eating, drinking, and playing.Lillian: "Amelia, if you want to get rid of Judy, you must have the strength yourself. You just said that Judy is Lewis's wife. Do you think you, with your current capabilities, can touch Judy? Haven't you learned your lesson from the detention center?"Thinking of this lesson, Amelia hated Judy even more.The days in detention were not fit for a human being.Amelia asked: "Then, if I take over Meike Group, can I get rid of Judy?"Lillian said: "With strength, you can definitely do it.""Then I'll go back to the company." Amelia had no interest
Lewis arrived at the pizza shop and saw Judy overseeing the construction work inside. "Let's go for a walk outside, the paint smell in here is too strong for your health," Lewis worriedly suggested."What are you doing here?" Judy asked joyfully upon seeing Lewis.Lewis took her hand and led her to the nearby river for a stroll, some fresh air, and a chat, which was quite pleasant.Looking into the distance, Judy said, "Lewis, I'm so happy right now. Let's keep being this happy, okay?" She reveled in the feeling of being cherished.He smiled at her with warmth in his eyes, "Okay."Judy smiled up at him, still chuckling as she said, "You're so nice."Previously, Judy had been afraid of Lewis, but now, she had him completely under her thumb.She wasn't sure if it was due to the fresh air, but Judy ended up developing a fever as soon as she got home.Lewis was extremely concerned and took her temperature, which was 37.3℃, indicating a low fever.Judy lay weakly in bed, seeing him worry,
At night, the hospital only has on-duty doctors, so emergency consultations are quicker.As soon as Judy sat down, the female doctor began asking about her symptoms: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"Judy blushed and replied, "A bit of a low fever, general weakness, and a bit of dizziness."Usually, Judy wouldn't go to the hospital for such a minor ailment. She would just buy some cold medicine from a pharmacy at most.The doctor then asked, "Are you pregnant?"This is a routine question for any female patient.Judy looked at Lewis shyly and answered, "No...""Doctor, please do a check-up first," Lewis interrupted Judy, addressing the doctor, "Her menstruation has been late for half a month."Hearing this, Judy looked at Lewis in surprise. She hadn't realized that her menstruation was late by half a month. She had been so busy looking for a shop and taking care of John's house that she had completely forgotten about it.The doctor said, "Then let's do a check-up first. Bring the repo
During this time, Judy was completely unaware of the pregnancy, which came without any warning signs.She immediately looked at Lewis, who seemed very calm, as if he had known about it all along. He was smiling at the doctor and asked, "Thank you, my wife is pregnant. She can't take medicine, right? What should we do about this low fever?"The female doctor replied, "Medicine should not be taken casually. Drink more water and rest more. Don't worry, this low fever is not serious. It's a normal reaction after pregnancy, when the body's resistance decreases."Lewis continued to communicate with the doctor, asking about ways to alleviate Judy's fever and other precautions for pregnant women.Judy was overwhelmed with joy, her mind spinning. She looked down at her belly and then at Lewis, truly believing that she was pregnant.As they left the hospital, Judy finally came to her senses and asked Lewis, "Lewis, you knew I was pregnant? It's not you who's pregnant, so how could you know more
