Mia, with her sharp eyes, caught Susan's sly attempt to sneak away with something through the mirror. She quickly approached her, "Susan, Lewis has explicitly stated, aside from your brought luggage, nothing else is to leave with you.""I..." Susan's face reddened in embarrassment as she attempted to justify, "This is mine...""Susan, please put it back. Unless I'm mistaken, this necklace was purchased last week with Lewis's credit card," Mia countered firmly, ensuring Susan wouldn't leave with it. "Lewis has given clear instructions; please don't make it difficult for me."Mia was internally shocked by Susan's actions; to her, such behavior wasn't much different from theft. How could such a woman be deemed worthy of Lewis?No wonder Lewis was sending Susan away.Previously, Susan had appeared polite and extravagant in her purchases, demanding only the best. Her true nature now revealed was startling to Mia.In frustration and embarrassment, Susan returned the necklace, "Mia, you're
John was taken aback by Judy's offhanded remark."Who? Lewis? Your boss?" John couldn't believe it. "The Lewis worth billions of dollars is interested in Susan? That's impossible! From a man's perspective, it's unlikely. Not to speak ill of Susan, but she's rather plain-looking, has little survival skills, is timid, and has a mild personality. Whenever there's trouble, she hides behind you, without any noteworthy traits. How could Lewis be attracted to her?"John analyzed from both a man's aesthetic and a lawyer's rational perspective, finding it highly improbable.Whether it was during their school days or in society, Susan had never achieved anything noteworthy; it was always Judy and him cleaning up her messes.In college, Judy had even covered half of Susan's tuition fees. During their time living together, the rent was almost always paid by Judy.Judy took care of Susan like a sister, always the first to stand up for her in times of trouble.They didn't notice someone standing at
Judy didn't directly answer."It's all in the past, Lewis and I will no longer have any ties," Judy said with a forced smile. "I'm really relieved that the pregnancy turned out to be a false alarm; otherwise, it would have been... quite awkward."Indeed, if that were the case, coexisting with Susan would become more impossible.Given the current state of affairs, where she and Susan had fallen out, let alone if there was actually a baby involved.John then realized that Judy previously thought she was pregnant with Lewis's baby.Judy's firm desire to stay here implied that she had feelings for Lewis... otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to stay.For a moment, John didn't quite know what to say and changed the subject: "Have you had dinner? Should I cook some noodles?""I've eaten." Judy replied. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? You rest for a while, and I'll cook for you.""I can do it myself...""I'll do it." Judy got up and headed to the kitchen. "If I'm going to stay here guilt-f
Judy was thrilled to receive the interview invitation and went for the interview at her first opportunity.Upon arriving at Meike Group, Judy realized the interview had attracted a huge turnout, with at least five hundred people crammed into the lobby.While standing in the lobby gathering information, Judy learned that many fresh graduates were there for the interview, including candidates with strong academic credentials and rich experience.This reminded her of the challenge she had faced when applying to Caler Group.But Judy wasn’t someone to easily give up; the greater the challenge, the more her fighting spirit was ignited.Holding her resume, Judy queued to get a number, waiting for her turn to be called into the interview room.Once she had her number, Judy found a place to sit and rest while waiting; her period cramps made it hard for her to stand for too long.After drinking two cups of hot water, Judy's pain eased somewhat."Are you here for the interview too?" A recent gr
Perona's intention was clear; she was exploring Lewis's inclination towards fulfilling the marriage pact between their families.Seeking a son-in-law for her daughter, Perona had observed carefully and deemed only Lewis worthy and fully compatible with her daughter.Lewis rarely involved himself in scandals, and any woman aiming for Lewis's affection was promptly dealt with by him.This was an aspect Perona greatly appreciated – his integrity, loyalty, and giving her daughter to Lewis would put her mind at ease.Most importantly, Perona's daughter was also very much satisfied with Lewis.Lewis maintained a neutral expression, his voice smooth and deep, "I haven’t considered that yet."His refusal was direct.Since Perona didn’t press the issue explicitly, Lewis's answer effectively put an end to her hopes.Perona smiled amiably, "It’s good for young people to be committed to their work, but starting a family is also a part of life. Settling down early would surely please your grandmot
Having been by Lewis's side for many years, Leo had sensed something different about Lewis's attitude towards Judy, especially after learning about Lewis evicting Susan from the royal estate. This confirmed Leo's suspicion that Lewis had feelings for Judy.As a subordinate, Leo dared to speculate but dared not ask.Leo glanced at the resumes in Judy's hand and asked, "How did the interview go?""I probably… didn’t get the job," Judy shrugged without losing hope, "I’ll keep looking. Leo, I have things to take care of, so I'll get going.""Alright," Leo didn't try to keep Judy there; Lewis had only asked him to keep an eye on her, not to stop her from leaving.Judy nodded and walked away.Her interaction with Leo was just noticed by Felix, the HR Director familiar with Leo—a close associate of CEO Lewis.Felix speculated about the woman’s identity who was talking to Leo. They appeared quite familiar with each other.As Leo headed towards the elevator, Felix entered the interview room an
"Thanks," Judy genuinely appreciated it. It was just a brief encounter, yet Ellie (the beautiful woman) dared to risk offending Amelia by pulling her back.While waiting in line earlier, Judy had chatted with Ellie and learned a bit about her. Ellie was a recent graduate who had come for the interview after seeing the job advertisement."It's no big deal," Ellie laughed. "Did you get through?""Just got the call, they want me to start the onboarding process next Monday," Judy replied. "How about you?""I didn't get the job," Ellie took it in stride. "There are so many companies in this building, I'll keep looking and hopefully work in the same building as you. It's nice to have someone you know; makes me feel a bit braver and less lonely.""Then I wish you find a job soon," Judy checked the time. "If you don't mind, how about we grab some food together?"Ellie responded with a smile, "I wouldn't say no to that."Judy liked Ellie's straightforward nature. In her, Judy saw shades of Sus
Judy was slightly shocked inside. Why was Lewis here so late?Lewis, clad in a dark brown coat with a scarf around his neck, leaned casually against the car door, smoking a cigarette as if waiting for someone.In this bustling city, it wasn’t easy for two people to meet by chance.He had always been at the pinnacle, while Judy was just a small, ordinary representation of this bustling city.Judy took a deep breath silently. Lewis couldn’t possibly be here for her.She descended the steps, pretending not to see Lewis, and headed towards the right, to the subway station.Suddenly, a deep, rich voice called out to her, "Judy, stop right there."The cold tone was mixed with a tinge of impulsiveness and command.This woman, clearly having seen him, was pretending not to.Judy stopped abruptly, too afraid to turn around, even wondering if she had hallucinated. Why would he call her?Meanwhile, her heart was in turmoil. Was he calling her? Was he here for her?The footsteps behind her grew c
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
