Just as the two were talking, the door suddenly opened, and Bryson's figure stood there, "Ms. Marquez, Franklin is looking for you!"
Victoria and Betty immediately stood up together, Betty shyly looked at him, and said to Victoria, Then I'll be leaving first.
Victoria nodded her head, just as she reached the door, a cold voice sounded out, "Don't you owe me a meal? This meal shall be considered as compensation!"
Victoria looked at the couple, she then looked at her friend with sympathy: "Betty, I will go over first!"
Betty nodded, at this time, it would be better if the two of them could talk about the old grudges together.
Bryson smirked, "What? Can't afford it?"
Of course not, Betty could afford it, she just never thought that this man would treat her so coldly. She thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll treat you."
Bryson turned around and walked back into the private box.
Behind him, Betty heaved a small sigh of reli
She didn't want to treat him alone anymore.The waitress looked at the two cards. She was troubled for a moment, but she smiled and didn't dare to accept them."Don't think that I can't afford it, I can afford it. Just consider this meal as my previous offense," After saying that, Betty extended her arm, intending to let the waitress swipe her card.Bryson was an extremely sensitive person, so why did she pay so actively? He knew the reason. He wouldn't let her.He directly reached out and pulled her card back into his hand, then ordered the waitress, "Use this card.""Hey! Give me back the card." Betty immediately snatched back her card instinctively.Bryson's voice seemed to be a formless command, causing the attendant to not dare to disobey it. She directly swiped his black card to pay the bill.At this time, the man took the initiative to pass the card in front of her. Betty received it and said somewhat angrily, "You clearly told
Bryson said to Roderick, "If you are going to send Cassie back, send my brother back together. I will not go back to the Mcintosh's residence tonight.""Alright!" Roderick replied, he looked at Franklin in his arms and said, "Do you want to accompany Father and send Aunt to the Mcintosh's residence?"Cassie was already very happy, "Franklin, come with us!""Can I accompany my aunt, Mummy?" Franklin asked Victoria."Alright! Just go home early." Victoria had no objections.Just then, Cassie turned to Betty and said, "Sister Betty, I will find you a piece of paper and a brush, can you give me an autograph?""Of course." Betty smiled."Hum! Wait a moment, my schoolbag is in my brother's car."Victoria never thought that Cassie would actually want to catch up with the stars, and even liked Betty so much. Betty felt honored to have the little princess of the Arnold family as a fan.The elevator stopped at the first floor with
Cassie immediately thought of the other person beside her. She gave an "oh" and took out her homework, then asked with some suspicion, "Are you sure you know how to do it? My homework is quite difficult."Lennon smiled lightly, "Let me see! In my eyes, it shouldn't be hard."Cassie flipped open the assignment, bit the pen cap and looked at him, "Look, this."Lennon took it and looked at it, "It's pretty simple, you do it first, I won't teach you anything else." With that, he placed the exercise book in front of her.Cassie puffed her cheeks, stared at him, and then said softly, "I don't even know all of them."Lennon was startled, it seemed like he had a lot of work to do as a counselor, and the difficulty was even higher than going through the math problems, so he said to her, "Take a look at the questions first, I'll go find a chair."It seemed like he wouldn't be able to rest until he had taught her for an hour or two tonight.In t
He directly added the word "advertisement" at the back of the name. The video footage that Betty shot immediately appeared, with a few pages remaining. The ones at the front of the line were naturally the big brand ads that she received.Bryson played her perfume advertisement. In the midst of the melodious music, Betty was dressed in a white dress with a handsome male model, and an alluring look in her eyes.In the last image, Betty was holding onto that exquisite perfume, and the moment her eyes blinked, the imposing aura of two pairs of pure white angelic wings spread out behind her, filling the entire image with a holy and enchanting aura.When the camera closed in, Betty's face was breathtakingly beautiful.Bryson's eyes reflected this scene, and gained a tinge of a different luster.Although there were traces of postproduction, this woman truly did have such an aura. Her appearance and condition didn't change much.Bryson started to ha
Along the way, Lennon drove her to school in the fastest speed possible. Watching her enter the school gates, Lennon heaved a sigh of relief.Just as Lennon drove back to his home, a phone call came in. He took a look and saw that it was Cassie calling."Hey!""Brother Lennon, can you go to my room? Can you check if my English book is over there under the blanket?" Cassie' voice sounded out softly."Wait a minute, let me see." Lennon walked to her room and lifted her blanket. Sure enough, he saw an English book under her pillow."The second class is English class. Our teacher is so fierce, can you send it over to me? Please." Cassie begged him like a pitiful little white rabbit.Lennon finally understood that her habit of throwing things down was also very strong, so he could only say, "Alright! I'll send it over immediately. Is there anything else I can give you?""No need, just an English book, thank you.""Alright!""
Lennon was at home writing a script using his laptop, when his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number."Hello, hello!""Hey! Hello, are you Cassie’ family member? I'm her form teacher, Jayla Spears." A sharp female voice came from the other end.Lennon frowned and quickly reacted, "Yes, I'm her brother."The female teacher spoke in an extremely serious tone, "Oh, it's like this. I have a response with you. Today, Cassie wrote a love letter to a male student during class. This is a very serious matter, and I hope that you will take it seriously as well."Lennon was surprised, he did not expect Cassie to be in a relationship. Moreover, she even left his phone number! It was obvious that she did not dare to leave her parents' number."Alright! I'll go to the school immediately." Lennon very obediently complied."Alright! We will keep her in school, so please come as soon as possible and take c
In the afternoon at the tea house, Victoria and Betty were together with Mina. Mina's new song was going to start the rehearsal and her piano recording was going to start as well, so Victoria started to have work to do once again. When Mina talked about Maxim, said he had already accepted the new play and was heading towards the desert to take a look at the new play.On the other hand, Victoria felt extremely guilty, because of her, he suffered through those dark and painful days, but in reality, during Mina's concert, Maxim had helped her in many ways, encouraging her.Even if Maxim had feelings for her, it was a normal thing for a grown man and a woman to happen."I was really surprised that Franklin was actually Roderick's child. Victoria, did you date Roderick five years ago?" Mina asked curiously.Victoria and Betty looked at each other, and Betty explained for her, "It can be considered a short relationship."Victoria smiled along. Other than
"Betty! Pretty, a promising Female artiste." Brogan immediately had an impact. Although he controlled the thousands people in the domestic companies, he still had a deep memory of new artists."Cut the crap, check her." Bryson frowned that he could not wait to expose the woman's words."Alright! I'll check it right away." Brogan quickly took his phone and went to the side to make a call to contact Betty's manager, Lola.The artists controlled by the Cosmics Group could be said to have monopolized the domestic movie industry and a huge area of the music industry.However, to the Cosmics Entertainment, the artistes and musicians were merely chess pieces under their control. They would listen to the manipulations of the boss behind the scenes.Relatively speaking, they were just employees of the Cosmics Group. Not only was the one being controlled by a single company, there were also several famous brokerages all over the world, and they were all unde
"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
