Betty forced herself to sleep, and then at six in the morning, she would go to Bryson's doorstep and wait for him. This time, losing the money to buy jewelry could solve the problem, but, whoever leaked this matter would be a huge blow to her reputation.
Who would write that she had stolen it again? The image that she had painstakingly created over the years was about to collapse. So, in order to solve her problem, she had to take the gem back. At most, she could compensate some repair costs.
Betty lied on her bed, wishing that she could arrive soon tomorrow.
Betty was unable to sleep at all until around three o'clock, and just as she was about to fall asleep at six o'clock, the alarm clock chimed and woke her up. She reached out to press the button on the clock, intending to turn her body and continue sleeping.
She patted her forehead. Luckily, she didn't oversleep. Betty quickly got off the bed to wash up, put on a pair of casual jeans and a white T-shi
"Then... Then I shall take my leave, Mr. Mcintosh, see you later." Betty was too embarrassed to stay.Then, she suddenly thought of something and turned her head, "Mr. Mcintosh, do you need to leave me your phone number?" It's convenient to contact me?"The man took a sip of his coffee gracefully. "No need."Betty felt her ears heating up. Could it be that this man was mistaken about the method she used to get his contact number? She quickly said, "Oh! Alright! Then I'll leave first. Goodbye."After she finished speaking, Betty hurriedly escaped from the man's home. To her, this place was filled with an oppressive aura, so she did not want to stay here.Betty drove to her manager's company and told Lola about that she has found the gem. Her manager was relieved that the trouble with Betty had been solved.The consequence of this trouble was that she owed the man a meal. Betty began to wonder, when would he have time?Maybe he didn't e
Her two straight and slender legs were exceptionally eye-catching. Overall, Victoria's back was full marks.Roderick resisted the urge to hug her from the back. He thought that it would definitely feel good if he hugged her to his chest.Victoria turned around and washed her hands. She was suddenly startled by the man leaning on the door.The next second, she became angry, "Can you make a sound? Don't you know that people are scary and will scare people to death?""If you died, I'll be responsible for the funeral." Roderick teased her with a smile.Victoria almost threw the spatula in her hands at him, "Disappeared."Roderick's smile became even more enchanting. He suddenly thought of something and walked towards her piano. He flipped open the music table on top of her and started playing the piano.No matter what this man did, he was always outstanding. Even if Roderick was unfamiliar with the piano, he was able to quickly recover hi
"Okay, I said the wrong thing, okay? Mr. Arnold?" Victoria said with a helpless expression."Is that an apology? Forget it, just give me a kiss, then I'll leave." Roderick did not plan to leave without reaping any benefits.Victoria could only describe her feelings toward this man as extremely speechless. She had almost forgotten how she had offended him.Thinking about it carefully, she had already cooked a good meal for him, so how could she possibly have offended him?"Why should I kiss you?""If you don't want to kiss me, that's fine! I'll sleep on your bed tonight, and you can sleep on the sofa." Roderick's detestable threat."No, you can't stay in my house." And this man is dangerous."Why not? We've even done the most intimate things, including our son. Why are you still being so conservative? As long as you open your mouth, there's nothing I can't do for you." Roderick's hint was extremely strong.How could Victoria not
Roderick revealed his white teeth that were as neat as ice and said, "Yes."The next step was a fluent, but on the road, Victoria kept hearing magnetic male voices guiding her.They finally arrived at a rich man's villa. This place was filled with large villas, and the surrounding gardens were so spacious that they could be used as a garden. The wealth of the Arnold family was already known to the world.Just as the car drove in, they saw a beautiful girl carrying Franklin and running over. Victoria got off the car and looked at this cute and beautiful girl. She must be Roderick's sister."Mummy..." Franklin immediately embraced her waist, revealing a small face that was so small that even the teeth could not be seen.It had been two days since Victoria last saw her son, and she really missed him. She crouched down and hugged his son, while a clear female voice called out to her, "Sister-in-law."Victoria was immediately shocked, she laughed
"Aunt! I also very much welcome you to stay at my house!" Franklin was looking forward to it.When Victoria came out, she was immediately stunned for a few seconds when she saw the young man dressed in a gray sweatshirt. One was more handsome than the other?Donald revealed a rare bright smile, and politely greeted her, "Hello elder sister!""Hello!" Victoria greeted with a smile."This is my second brother, Donald." Cassie introduced.Victoria sized up Donald. Even though he was still a fifteen or sixteen-year old boy, his appearance was already heaven opposing, and there was some similarity between his and her son's facial features and eyebrows.Donald said, "It seems like the people from the Mcintosh family are almost here.""AHH! They have arrived?" Cassie's face was immediately filled with panic, as if a frightened little rabbit was trying to find a place to hide.Victoria immediately looked at her with concern. With a sul
Bryson's gaze landed on Victoria's body, and glanced at Roderick warmly, only men would understand.Roderick turned his head to look at Victoria who was biting her lips with a vexed expression."Ms. Marquez, come sit over here." Eve walked to her side and greeted Victoria."Alright! Auntie!" Victoria sat on the sofa and Mrs. Mcintosh immediately praised her, "Ms. Marquez, the piano piece that I listened to on TV last time was too nice to listen to, and I admire you for your talent and ability at such a young age.""You're too kind. I've been studying the piano since I was young, and I still have many shortcomings." Victoria smiled humbly."She's beautiful, too, and the children are well-educated." Mrs. Mcintosh continued to praise."That's right, Ms. Marquez is good, and she is very patient in education as well." Eve took this opportunity to express her love for Victoria.Victoria shyly smiled, lowered her eyes, and felt Eve's affecti
Seeing that they were reasonable, Victoria was moved, she was worried that people of the Arnold family would try to snatch her son, but clearly, other than Roderick who had the intention to snatch her son away, his family did not have that intention.Victoria drove her car and left with Franklin.Roderick was extremely depressed, this woman really left just like that after eating a meal.Bryson stood beside him and smiled, "This Ms. Marquez has a unique personality."Roderick's gaze immediately swept across him, "You are not allowed to like her."Bryson giggled, "Who do you think I am? Of course, I won't steal my bro's woman."After Roderick finished speaking, he felt that it was funny. Dammit, how could he have such a strong desire for this woman?"As for my son's godmother, you can consider her." Roderick smiled at Bryson, "Seems like something interesting has happened between the two of you."The smile in Bryson's eyes immed
Victoria smiled as she held the phone in her hand. She felt that life was always so mysterious, but fortunately, people she did not want to meet would always be pulled together through relationships.Victoria looked at the time. It was already 5:30, it’s time to cook dinner, Franklin had been living quite well in the Arnold family these past few days, and had even gained a little weight!"Mummy will make you coke and chicken wings and shrimp tonight.""Hum! I like to eat the dishes made by the Mummy the most." Franklin didn't forget to praise her.Victoria thought, and suddenly Roderick appeared in her mind, could it be that he had gotten used to her food? She even thought of him when she dropped to the ground?Right at this moment, a knock on the door sounded out. Victoria's heart skipped a beat.It just so happened that today, Victoria remembered the matters of her childhood in the Arnold's. Since she did not reject Austin from the d
"Test him? Why?" Victoria did not understand.Roderick also understood that she was a small fry in the business world. He patted her shoulder and said, "I'll tell you about it when we get into the car."After getting into Roderick's car, with the windows tightly closed, Roderick turned to Victoria, who was still waiting for his reply."I suspect that the testament in Yves's hands, you do not get fifty percent of the Marquez Group's shares!" Roderick said directly.Victoria couldn't help but gasp, "Why?""I think that when your father was alive, he did not have any last will, but instead the testament was made after his death. And it was the last will that Grace and Yves formed together. If I'm not wrong, you can't even get any share of the Marquez Group!" Roderick had to give her some preventive measures to prepare her heart.Victoria's face immediately turned pale. If the testament were made by her father after his death, wouldn't the Marquez Group have fallen into Grace's hands? Cou
The morning light was exceptionally bright, as if it was a huge golden crack that split the sky, tearing through the gray sky bit by bit, illuminating the land.Victoria opened her eyes. A ray of sunlight had just pierced into her eyes, causing her to quickly close her eyes, and for the past few days, she had been crying too much, causing her eyes to be dry and sensitive. At this time, a large palm covered her eyelashes in an extremely considerate manner, preventing the sunlight from shining into her eyes again.On Roderick's warm palm, he could feel her long eyelashes blink, and lightly brush the skin on his palm as if it were made of feathers. This made the corner of his sexy mouth hooked up.He pulled up a thin layer of curtains, blocking out the sun and leaving the room in a warm room.Victoria gently blinked her eyes, and after two more blinks, her eyes became clear and bright, as though they were twinkling in stars. Roderick really loved her eyes, when she cried, it made people'
Bryson looked at her and sneered, "It's only now that you know to guard against me, don't you think it's too late?"Betty stared at him, and before long, her pretty face turned pale, "You can't do this, bastard!""Why? Don't you like a bastard?" Bryson continued to refute."You ... To me, I would never like a bastard. I like a gentleman." Betty retorted in an even worse tone.Bryson squinted, in the dark carriage, his eyes were still as sharp as ever, "So, you have a man you like?"Theobald's face appeared in Betty's mind, she thought, "I don't like him, I just admire him! Because he really fits her bill."When she raised her eyebrows she immediately blurted out, "Yes!"Bryson's face looked especially tense and unsightly under the dim blue light. He never thought that this woman would actually have a man he liked."Who is he?""There's no need to tell you!" Betty smirked.Bryson suddenly stepped on the brakes, causing Betty's body to fiercely lean forward. She immediately turned her h
Roderick station is in mourning hall who get attention greatly, have a few come to the business circles personage, come over at once and he dozen a greeting.There were a few business people who came to greet him as a form of courtesy to the CEO of the Arnold Group. Roderick bowed in return, and he stood there, just to accompany Victoria.Austin and his father had arrived at the very last moment, and Austin felt sorry for her.She had Roderick, who never left her side, accompanying her father.Grace sobbed uncontrollably under the condolences of some business partners several times. This caused Victoria to feel extremely disgusted, as her father did not need her to cry like this.After releasing a string of firecrackers in the afternoon, Kaylin took Desmond's portrait and carried his ashes to a black carriage to be buried. Victoria had not been by Desmond's side for many years already, so she did not even know where the tomb he bought was.Roderick sat on the car with Bryson.When the
In the evening, Roderick and Victoria returned together. Roderick did not tell Victoria about the lawyer because she had borne enough pain now.That night, Victoria did not let Betty come over again to take care of her because Betty was also tired last night.That night, after Roderick finished showering, he came to her room wearing a set of casual pajamas. At this time, Victoria did not refuse to accompany him at all.Lightly caressed her brows and eyes a few times, wanting to help her calm down. He also lightly patted her shoulders to coax her to enter an even deeper sleep.Early in the morning, when Betty was still sleeping, a phone call woke her up. She picked it up to see that it was again Lola, and her head was spinning. She really wasn't in the mood to go."Hello, Sister Lola, didn't I say I wanted you to help me put it off?""There's no need to push it now. You can rest for a few more days. The official announcement just now said that this episode would be delayed for another
"Then why did he go to the hospital that day? Did he faint in his office?""No, when we went to the hospital that day, it was your father who decided to go. He probably wanted to know how bad his condition was as well! That afternoon, he signed too many documents, sat for too long, and he was a little dizzy when he stood up. Only then did he get a little worried, and said that he was going to the hospital for an examination.""In other words, before my father went to the hospital, his condition was still considered stable!" Victoria asked carefully."No! There have been signs of a rebound in the company's performance recently. Mr. Marquez was even relieved and didn't get any work stimulation. I have always been by his side.""Then there's nothing wrong with his medicine, right?""The medicine is fine, every time I pour it for him, it's always those pills the doctor gave him.""It's those pills that Doctor Clare prescribed.""And then? Did you see my father faint that afternoon?""No!
Inside the master bedroom, Roderick was also not asleep. He sat in front of the French window, and looked up at the stars in the night sky. His handsome face had been shrouded in a layer of mysterious shadow.He agreed with Victoria that Desmond must have been doing his best to say something before he died. As he pointed his hand to Grace, it was sure that Grace was related to Desmond's death.If he wanted to resolve the knot in Victoria's heart, he must investigate this matter clearly as soon as possible and give Desmond justice.He called Carson. Although it was early in the morning, Carson quickly picked it up. "Hello, Mr. Arnold, did something happen?""Tomorrow morning, contact the law firm of the Marquez Group for me. Tell them that I want to cooperate with them." Roderick ordered.Carson did not waste much time, he directly answered, "Okay! I'll ask the person in charge to come and see you tomorrow morning."After hanging up the phone, the corner of Roderick's mouth curled up i
An hour later, Roderick went upstairs and gently knocked on Victoria's room. The sadness on Victoria's face was still very obvious, but it seemed that her emotions had stabilized. Betty looked at her with eyes filled with sadness and grievance."Come down!" Roderick said to them."Alright, we'll be right down." Betty replied.Victoria's eyes were red and swollen from crying, she only raised them slightly, not looking at Roderick as Roderick gently closed the door.Betty got up and went into the bathroom, bringing a warm towel out. She gently lifted Victoria's face, and used a towel to wipe the tears off her face. Victoria closed her eyes, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was pale, and she looked extremely haggard."Victoria, we can secretly investigate your father's death, but now, you have to think about your own body! Franklin needs you." Betty explained to her.Victoria and Betty had chatted for an hour, she had vented her sorrow. She hated Grace, and she felt unworthy for h
Along the way back to Roderick's villa, Victoria continued to be silent, and it was unknown what she was thinking. When they arrived, the first thing Roderick wanted to do was to contact his good friend Bryson, and then ask him to contact Betty, so that she could console and comfort Victoria.As a close friend, she definitely knew how to let Victoria vent the grief in her heart.Roderick stood outside the courtyard and called Bryson."Hey! Roderick, you've returned back?" Bryson asked directly.He would have known that Roderick was abroad, but it was not because Roderick disclosed it to him, but because he got it from his brother Lennon. Because his brother was concerned about his female student, Cassie."Yes! We returned home. Today Victoria's father passed away, and do you have Betty's number? Take her over to comfort Victoria. She's very sad right now." Roderick's voice was somewhat heavy and hoarse.Bryson's tone became more serious, "I have her number, I'll contact her right now
