Susan couldn't wait for the third day and contacted Lewis's assistant the very next day, expressing her desire to move to the Royal Manor and become Lewis's woman.
She made the call after Judy had gone to work.
Within an hour, Leo, accompanied by bodyguards, drove to pick up Susan.
"Miss, please get in the car," Leo said very respectfully. As the only woman currently allowed to live at the Royal Manor, and potentially becoming the lady of Caler Group in the future, he naturally showed great respect.
Susan glanced at Leo and the bodyguards behind him, then looked at the luxury car, her vanity greatly satisfied.
She had lived in poverty for over twenty years, looked down upon by others, and this was the first time she could ride in a car worth millions and be treated so respectfully.
Susan straightened her back and walked towards the luxury vehicle.
At that moment, a neighboring aunt called out, "Susan, are you moving? Is that your boyfriend?"
Driven by vanity, Susan said arrogantly, "He's just my boyfriend’s assistant. I'm moving to my boyfriend's place."
At the mention of 'boyfriend,' Leo glanced at Susan, still puzzled as to why the president would take an interest in such an ordinary woman.
The neighbor expressed envy, "Such a nice car and an assistant, your boyfriend seems very wealthy. You're going to live a life of luxury; you're so lucky. Despite being so ordinary-looking, you found a wealthy boyfriend."
Susan, embarrassed, didn't respond further, got into the car, and closed the door.
An hour later.
The car slowly entered the affluent neighborhood, approaching the Royal Manor villa.
This was Lewis's private residence. He didn't live in the family mansion. In the large villa, a dozen servants catered to Lewis's needs alone.
Upon entering the villa, Susan couldn't hide her excitement and greed. This large house would be hers.
A dozen servants lined up, greeting in unison, "Miss Susan, welcome."
Susan was thrilled; this kind of scene she'd only seen on TV was now happening to her.
"Miss Susan, this way please," guided Leo. "Your room is on the second floor, you can choose any room.
The third floor is the president's private area, you cannot go there without permission…"
As Leo explained the rules, Susan looked around greedily, her vanity plainly evident.Caler Group.
Judy still did not know that Susan had moved away. Having just finished organizing files, Secretary-General Linda approached her, "Judy, deliver this document to the president's office."
The thought of seeing Lewis made Judy nervous, "Linda, my stomach hurts…"
"The president won't bite, what are you afraid of?" Linda saw through Judy's thoughts and said sternly, "It's work, don't dawdle, go."
Efficient in her actions, Linda reflected Lewis's style - fitting for someone close to him.
Unlike other companies where secretaries fought for position with scheming, Caler Group didn't have this issue because anyone interested in Lewis was quickly dismissed.
Judy had no choice but to take the document and head to the president's office.
When Judy entered, Lewis was on a call. She intended to place the document down and leave, but was stopped by Lewis's voice.
"Make me a cup of coffee."
Lewis didn't glance at Judy, just continued his call.
The office had a coffee machine.
A basic skill for a competent secretary is knowing how to make coffee.
Judy went to the coffee machine. The silence in the large office allowed Lewis's voice, deep and rich in charisma, to carry clearly.
Judy couldn't help but sneak a peek. Lewis was dressed in blue trousers and a shirt, exuding a natural executive presence, enticing even fully clothed. Glimpses of their night together crossed her mind.
It was the first time Judy had really looked at him closely. He was truly handsome.
The thought of sleeping with such an attractive man felt like a sin and unbelievable.
Lost in thought, Lewis had approached unknowingly, "Do you like what you see?"
Instinctively, Judy replied, "It's nice."
Immediately realizing her response, she quickly lowered her head, standing respectfully to the side.
Lewis remained silent…Lewis's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at her. "What were you just thinking about? I want the truth."Judy couldn't possibly tell the truth; what would happen if Lewis knew she was fantasizing about being with him 'in that way'? Would he silence her for good?She composed herself and replied innocently, "I was thinking about what to have for dinner tonight."A flicker in Lewis's brow hinted at disbelief. Despite Judy's ostensibly honest and simple demeanor, he felt that it was definitely not her true nature.This woman was cunning.Lewis fixed his eyes on her and asked, "Do you know why I transferred you to the secretary department?""I know." Judy replied as if sincerely, "Leo said it was because I look dowdy."Lewis's lips twitched. "...""You certainly are... self-aware." Lewis was at a loss for words, never before having encountered such an 'obedient' female secretary."You won't be having what you'd like for dinner tonight because you're going out with me."If Judy hadn’t kno
The first day Susan moved into the royal manor, she was very excited. She took a bath early and changed into new pajamas, waiting for Lewis to come back. She waited for a very long time and was almost falling asleep when finally, she heard some noise. Just as Susan was about to enter the bedroom, she heard a familiar voice: "Mia (family maid), please take care of the president. We'll be heading off." That was Judy's voice. Susan had lived with Judy for over twenty years and knew her voice well. Why would Judy be in Lewis's room? Susan quickly remembered that Judy was Lewis's secretary, so her presence at the royal manor was perfectly normal. Hearing that Judy was about to leave, Susan quickly hid in the adjacent room and waited until the footsteps descending the stairs faded away before she emerged and headed to Lewis's master bedroom. "Mia, let me take care of Mr. Lewis. You're getting on in years and shouldn't overexert yourself this late at night." Mia was
Lewis shook his head, stood up, and went to take a cold shower in the bathroom to calm his burning desires.Meanwhile, Susan, who had been sent out, felt wronged and uneasy. She didn’t know what had made Lewis unhappy.She cautiously tried to guess what was on Lewis’s mind.In the hallway, Susan ran into Mia and asked earnestly, "Mia, I can't seem to fall asleep. Could you keep me company and chat for a bit?"It was late, and Mia wanted to go to rest, but considering that Susan was now Lewis’s woman, she had to muster her energy and said with a smile, “OK.”"Susan, I have a question for you," Susan began to inquire. “Does Lewis dislike lilies?”Mia nodded, “Yes, Mr. Lewis hates lilies. They are not allowed in the house at all; not even the scent of lilies, nor even mentioning them.”Susan realized she had touched upon a huge taboo for Lewis and asked anxiously, “Why?”“I don’t know,” Mia shrugged. “Anyway, Lewis doesn’t like lilies.”Knowing this about Lewis, Susan hurried back to her
The neighbor lady said, "I didn't get a clear look at the license plate number, but it was a local one, seemed to have three 8s in it, I don't remember exactly.'"Judy felt a bit disappointed, she still wanted to check the license plate number.Susan had been hemming and hawing, unwilling to even say her boyfriend's name, definitely something fishy going on."Ma'am, I'm in a hurry to get to work, can't chat now, might miss the subway," Judy glanced at the time, feeling a bit anxious inside.Her place was quite far from the company, taking forty minutes by subway.At 7:59 AM, Judy arrived at the company.She had run all the way from the subway station and quickly took a sip of water to catch her breath."Judy, you're panting like that, were you chased by a dog?" Secretary-General Linda teased.Judy waved her hand, panting, "One more minute, and there goes my perfect attendance reward."Linda asked, "Where do you live?""Suburbs," Judy replied. "It takes forty minutes by subway.""That'
Judy felt curious about what her Lewis' girlfriend looked like and why Lewis was so indulgent that he even sent her gifts on special days without caring about the cost.After Leo reported his work and left, Lewis also went to the meeting room for a conference, and Judy continued to write her scheme.Just before leaving work, she finally finished writing, took a long breath of relief, checked it again, and was quite satisfied.At that moment, Judy's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she quickly answered."John." Judy's voice was cheerful: "Have you come back from your business trip?"On the other end of the phone, a man's gentle voice replied: "Yes, I'm back. You should be getting off work soon, right? I'm downstairs at your company, let's have dinner together.""If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to leave on time," Judy said: "Some things have happened while you were away. I got promoted, and Susan, she found a boyfriend and moved out..."Judy briefly informed him about t
Judy previously blurted out a lie about having a fiancé, which ironically led to her promotion. Worried about being exposed and possibly fired by Lewis, she continued to fabricate stories.However, after speaking, the atmosphere in the car seemed to grow colder, and Lewis's expression changed. Had she said something wrong? Concerned about the company's preference against newly hired employees getting married or having children, Judy quickly added, “President, don't worry, I have no plans to marry before I'm thirty. I want to focus on my career first, working hard under your guidance to grow and strengthen Caler Group.”At her words about making the company stronger, Lewis's lips twitched slightly, and he glanced at her, “So, Caler Group isn’t strong enough now?”Judy nervously laughed, “President, Caler Group is already a top-tier conglomerate. With you at the helm, the company’s future is boundless.”Internally, Judy was frustrated by Lewis's sarcastic tone. Seeing her flattering dem
Judy was really honest, she didn't lie about what she had just said. She had in fact slept with Lewis last time. Lewis had never thought that his little secretary would be so bold, she really dared to say anything. He suddenly wanted to see what Judy would be like when she was drunk. "Drink." Lewis placed the wine in front of her, "If anything happens, I will take responsibility." Judy: "..." Could he not be so bold? Lewis, you are a man with a girlfriend, if anything happened due to drinking, she would not be able to take responsibility. Judy was about to refuse, but one look from Lewis made her immediately put on a smile: "Thank you for the wine." One had to bow their head under the eaves. She relied on her boss for her salary, so whether it was drinking wine or even urine... no, she could not drink urine, better stick to wine. Judy took it with both hands, her insincere appearance making Lewis feel irritated. He greatly desired to
Judy's heart tightened, and she asked cautiously, "What... did I say?"After waking up, Judy didn't put on her glasses, and her disheveled hair added a touch of wild beauty. Her delicate features, porcelain skin, and bright eyes were highlighted by the morning sunlight streaming through the window, creating an ethereal glow around her.It was then that Lewis realized, the Judy before him was a stark contrast to her ordinarily unremarkable appearance.Her skin was very fair, with a rosy tint beneath its whiteness, and her loose pink pajamas made her cheeks look even more like blooming peach blossoms.Could it be that his secretary was actually a beauty?"President?"Noticing Lewis staring at her, an uneasy Judy called out to him.Lewis, returning to his senses and realizing his lapse, quickly composed himself and said with a cool demeanor, "Just teasing, you don't need to wear your glasses anymore. And that fringe of yours, there's no need to keep it either; it's quite outmoded. You lo
Serina subconsciously glanced at Lewis, who was standing in front of Judy's tombstone. Could it be for him?During these days, Lewis had been very quiet, and his daily routine was to perform the funeral rites for Judy and accompany her on her final journey.He no longer shed tears, but he also had no smile, as if he were just an empty shell.People lined up to offer flowers in their hands, stood in silence in front of Judy's grave for a few seconds, and then walked away, one after another. The funeral lasted until 10 o'clock in the morning.Lewis unexpectedly spoke, addressing his grandmother, "Grandma, let everyone go back. I'll stay here a little longer to keep Judy company."He hadn't spoken for a long time, and when Lewis finally did, his voice was extremely hoarse, and it had changed a bit.The grandmother's eyes were moist, and she nodded in agreement, asking Antonio to see the relatives and friends off.People gradually left, and in the end, only a few people, including Serena,
The helicopter arrived in Birmingham and landed in the backyard of Lewis's villa, where Lewis disembarked carrying the urn."Judy, we're home," he whispered softly, his tone gentle.The others also got off the helicopter, and Antonio, who had already received the news, had prepared a memorial hall at home.After a year, Judy finally returned, but in such a manner.Antonio was waiting at home, and it was only when he saw Lewis holding the urn and getting off the helicopter that he truly believed Judy had passed away, and what Isabella had said on the phone was true.Soon after,The news of Judy's death spread, shocking everyone. How could someone who was fine before suddenly pass away?In the eyes of outsiders, Judy was a person who had survived a shipwreck.Steven also received the news and quickly went to Lewis's house.A memorial hall was set up, with a coffin placed in the hall, and Judy's urn was placed inside the coffin.Lewis invited high monks to perform a funeral service for J
As Hannah said, even if it was a heart-wrenching pain, Lewis would still want to listen. He wanted to know what Judy experienced before her death.Hannah continued, "Judy was afraid of dying because she couldn't bear to leave you and Angel, but we did our best, and the doctors were helpless. She didn't want to die in the hospital; it seemed she was very averse to hospitals. After the doctor said there was no hope, she asked us to take her away, so I took her home, and she passed away in the attic room...""At that time, I promised her to fulfill her last wishes. She couldn't let go of you and Angel, so I went to your side, impersonated Judy, and took care of you and Angel in her place. But I couldn't do it, and in the end, I chose to make you dislike me, to give up on the marriage voluntarily."Hannah paused for a moment and gave a bitter smile, "Judy died when you loved her the most. You will never be able to let go of her for the rest of your life. Judy thought that if you didn't lo
Hannah was worried and wanted to find Lewis.She called the grandmother and only then learned that Lewis was hospitalized in the hospital next door.Taking advantage of the fact that neither Kim nor Guy were in the hospital, Hannah removed the IV needle from the back of her hand and was about to sneak out.However, just as she stepped out of the room, Kim returned from outside: "Sister, where are you going?""I..." Hannah stammered.Kim immediately guessed: "You want to find Lewis? I forbid you to go. You just had surgery. What are you going to do looking for Lewis? He already knows you're not Judy. If he gets angry and hurts you, what then?"Hannah said, "But I can't hide either. Lewis is ill, and everything is because of me. I should go. I owe it to Judy.""You don't owe anyone anything. Judy couldn't have been saved anyway. Even if you hadn't used Judy's heart, someone else would have," Kim said, "Anyway, I won't let you go.""Kim, why are you so heartless?" Hannah got angry, "Judy
Many children nowadays actually understand that the dead are buried beneath the graves.Angel opened her big eyes, which were clear and naive.Such a look, who wouldn't feel heartache upon seeing it?Lewis forced himself to sit up, leaning against the tombstone, his hand stroking it, not knowing how to explain to his daughter.Angel looked at Louis again, "Who is underneath this?"Louis really didn't know how to answer. He glanced at Lewis.Angel's gaze then shifted to Avery, wanting an answer from him.But no one had the heart to tell Angel such a cruel answer.Just when everyone found it hard to speak, Angel reached out her small hand to touch the tombstone and asked softly, "Is my mother buried here?"Angel's words shocked the three of them. How did Angel know?Could it be that there is truly a mother-daughter connection?Seeing that the adults were all silent, Angel suddenly burst into tears, "Mommy, it's mommy, I want my mommy."Angel cried her heart out, and Lewis held his daugh
When a person is at their most helpless and desperate, they hope for miracles, they wish for time to go back.The rain continued to fall, and the temperature at night was very low, so cold that it made people shiver.Lewis lay on the grave like a walking corpse, devoid of any vitality.Louis walked over with an umbrella and held it above his head: "Boss, don't do this. If Judy sees you like this from heaven, she will be upset."Lewis's eyes were open, but it was as if he couldn't see or hear anything. He didn't care about anything or listen to anyone. He just wanted to be closer to Judy by staying close to the grave.God couldn't hear his hysterical cries or see his heart-wrenching pain."Boss," Louis crouched down and persuaded him, "The rain is getting heavier, let's go back first."Lewis's eyes slightly shifted, finally finding a focal point: "Judy is afraid of the cold and the dark. I can't leave her alone here. I need to accompany her.""Boss, I know you're in a lot of pain, but
Isabella's face showed sadness, "Lewis definitely can't handle it. How can a person endure the loss of their loved one twice?"Isn't that like rubbing salt into a wound?"If he can get through this, then we won't have to worry in the future. But if he can't..." The grandmother didn't finish her sentence.Everyone knew the implications of what could happen....Cemetery.The dimly lit cemetery was quite eerie, and someone with a timid nature would probably be terrified to visit.The weather changed abruptly, and a light drizzle began to fall.Lewis, with Judy on his mind, stumbled towards Judy's tombstone after getting out of the car.There were only a few lamps in the cemetery, and one of them happened to be pointing in the direction of Judy's tombstone, making it easy for Lewis to find it at once."Judy, Judy!"Lewis was too eager and overwhelmed with grief. When he saw Judy's tombstone, the sorrow in his heart surged like a floodgate being opened, pouring out. He was walking too qui
The grandmother sighed, "Lewis found out about Judy's passing and couldn't bear the blow.""Lewis knows?" Serina was astonished, "And you all knew too?"Louis was surprised, "Serina, you knew about it early on?"Serina was among the first to know."Yes, Hannah told me before," Serina said, "I was worried that Lewis wouldn't be able to handle it, so I didn't dare to tell him. How did he find out?""Paper can't wrap up fire," Louis said, "Once Hannah fell and was hospitalized, it was impossible to keep it a secret.""Then when Lewis went out just now..." Serina immediately became worried, "What if something happens to him, or he gets the wrong idea?"Avery said, "He probably went to the cemetery to see Judy."The grandmother quickly said, "Louis, go to the cemetery right away and keep an eye on him. Don't let him do anything foolish.""Okay, grandma, don't worry, I'll go there now," Louis assured her.Louis and Avery went together.Serina took the grandmother back to the hotel first, wh
Lewis was emotionally out of control, looking at Hannah's face, he wished he could peel off her skin.That was the face of his wife.He wished he could dig out her heart, for it belonged to his wife.Hannah was unworthy, unworthy of possessing everything that belonged to Judy.If it weren't for this heart, how could he have been deceived and confused, mistaking Hannah for his wife? All the familiarity that Hannah gave him was because of this heart.Angel recognized Hannah as her mother, and that was also because of this heart.In Lewis's eyes, Hannah was the murderer, one of those responsible for Judy's death.Hannah did not defend herself; she knew that Lewis was in a state of rage and would not listen to anything.No one could accept such a thing.Lewis wanted to strangle Hannah, but looking at that face, he couldn't bring himself to do it; it was no different from killing Judy himself.The people outside the room couldn't see what was happening inside, but they could hear it.Reali
