The sound of the zither lingered in the air, it was captivating and lightly strumming everyone's heartstrings. Victoria couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile, it was as gentle as the morning sun.
Roderick's gaze landed on her body. Seeing her smile, he was extremely happy. It seemed that using the piano would allow him to enter her heart even more.
Not far away, Austin looked at that figure who was playing the musical, and his heart ached. This made him recall the times when he taught her how to play the piano, how to practice together with her, how to laugh and grow up together with her, those were the most beautiful times of his life.
But at this moment, the one who could play with her was no longer him, but another man.
When the last few strings of zither music finished, and the perfect performance ended, a round of applause rang out in the banquet hall. Victoria was led by the hand by Roderick, and she gave a plain greeting gift, but the man be
This man naturally had a way to make her submit, so he secretly bought some painful things for the waiter to do for her. He then added something into the juice that she liked. After she finished drinking it, she would naturally leave with him.Tonight, he could do whatever he wanted.As the waiter was carrying it over, a female guest bumped into him and his tray tilted slightly. The cup that was originally on the left was now moved to the side slightly, changing the other cup that was not filled to that position.The waiter reacted and quickly looked at the juice on the tray. He moved the glass a bit, but he didn't notice that the wine cup on the tray was misplaced.He walked up to the middle-aged man and gave the female model the glass of juice he had mistaken as his favorite drink, the cantaloupe juice.On the dance floor at the side, Victoria finally finished the last melody, and said to Roderick: "My feet are hurting, let's rest for a bit!"
"Roderick, please send me to the hospital!" Victoria hugged his arm and begged weakly.Roderick smiled at her pitiful look. She was really cute, he reached out and hugged her, Victoria instinctively wrapped his arms around his neck and carried her towards the elevator.Her blurry eyes were filled with confusion, "Roderick, where are you bringing me to? I want you to take me to the hospital... Did you hear that!""Don't worry, you'll be fine soon." Roderick felt that this was the right time. This was the chance for him and her to break through their most intimate relationship.And, in a moment, in the room, the woman would be begging him.He would be happy to be her antidote.The elevator flew at high speed towards the 48th floor. Very quickly, it opened with a ding in a few seconds, and Roderick carried Victoria to his room that he had slept in tonight. After swiping the card, Roderick closed the door, and carried her towards the large doubl
Seeing that she did not say anything, Roderick frowned. He reached out and hooked her chin, "As long as you speak, you do not have to soak in cold water. I can make you very comfortable."Victoria slapped his hand away angrily, and said unceremoniously, "No need! Thank you."She was happy to take a cold bath."You were obviously very enthusiastic just now." Roderick smiled.Victoria's cold water had reached to her waist, and she also felt a chill on her body, but the warmth had disappeared, but the cold feeling was also not feeling good, she felt her pores shrinking.Although the weather was already late in June, she still felt very cold even though she rarely bathed in cold water. She wrapped her arms around her chest to resist the coldness.Roderick squatted beside her to guard her, and then, to admire how her face turned from red to white from the cold, and his red lips also turned from tender to colorless.Seeing his actions, the
Could it be that this man had soaked his clothes and then decided not to wear them again at night?Roderick looked at the woman who was staring at him warily on the balcony. He smiled and mocked, "Why haven't you left yet? Didn't you want to leave?"He did know that her good friend was in the city. Seeing her with the phone in her hand, she must have asked for help. Her friend isn't in town?Victoria bit her lips and said to him, "Alright, let's sleep here tonight! But can you get your assistant to buy a suit of clothes tomorrow?""Is he begging me?" Roderick's voice contained an indescribable warmth and hatred within the quiet room.Victoria was begging him now, but after thinking for a while, she stared at him and said, "Tonight, I will accompany you to the banquet, you will owe me one, and now I want you to repay me, ask your assistant to prepare a set of clothes for me, and also borrow his car for me."Roderick let out a pfft, and direct
"Mm ...Cold ..." Victoria mumbled in her sleep and pulled on her blanket. A person who had a fever would not feel the heat, but would instead feel cold.Roderick immediately reached out and hugged her, tightly tucking her in. Then, he jumped off the bed, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and dialed the service number."Hello, how can I help you?" The waitress's sweet voice sounded."Send me a set of men's clothing. Ladies' clothing, room 4036. Men's: 1.87; ladies: 1.65. Please hurry." Roderick very neatly said his piece. After hearing the waiter's answer, he hung up and immediately made a call to the assistant, Carson. He told Carson to go and wait at the entrance of the hotel immediately.Roderick looked at the girl beside him and felt his heartstrings tighten. Worried, he covered his eyes with his hands as he sat on the edge of the bed and reached out for Victoria's warmth.The fever seemed to come quickly, and the temperature on her fore
Looking at her beautiful face that was peacefully sleeping, Roderick suddenly felt a sense of mission that he had never experienced before. It was as if in his life, there was not only one more son, but also one more woman in his life.He swore in his heart, Victoria, I will definitely make you my woman.As for the woman who was in a deep slumber, she had no idea where her dream had gone. She didn't even know that there was a man wholeheartedly guarding her from the side.In the Marquez's residence.Grace and her daughter were so angry that she almost died. Grace was angry because Victoria climbed up such a big tree like Roderick, was she planning to steal the Marquez family's property?Kaylin, on the other hand, was filled with jealousy and envy, and an intense unreconciled feeling enveloped her. Victoria had met Roderick five years ago, how could she be so lucky?And Austin, who clearly knew that she had betrayed him five years ago, still
Victoria's legs felt a little weak. She had never felt so powerless before, so every step she took on the ground felt like she was stepping on clouds. She had no strength.When Roderick saw her enter the door, she also supported the door frame. He realized that her legs were weak. He suddenly went up, and before Victoria could react, he carried her towards the elevator."Ugh ..." Victoria was shocked and this man held her.Victoria pressed on the elevator and just like that, she was carried by Roderick inside. She blushed slightly in embarrassment.He carried her back to her house, where she laid on the sofa.Victoria wanted to make porridge. But when she saw the man enter the kitchen, she was slightly surprised. Could it be that he was making it?After a while, Roderick came out and said to her, "It will take half an hour. Are you sure you aren't hungry?"I don't want to eat yet. If you're hungry, cook something to eat!""I'll
Roderick poured a cup of warm water and passed it to her. Victoria took a glance at him and asked, "When are you going to bring your son back?""I'll pick them up in the afternoon!" Roderick had already thought of his plan for the morning. Her fever suddenly came, and she had to observe the entire morning."Our son will have his complaints." Victoria furrowed her brows. Ever since her son was born, she had never been able to leave him.Roderick raised his eyebrows and smiled, "As long as I say that you and I are dating, I can guarantee that he won't mind."Victoria drank some water and immediately choked, "Cough ... Cough ..."A hint of displeasure flashed through Roderick's eyes, and at the same time, he naturally pulled out a piece of paper to hand to her, and said unhappily, "What do you mean by this? Do you feel wronged that you fell in love with me?"Victoria took a deep breath and wiped off the water stains on the corner of her mouth w
She was about to transform into the most beautiful bride. By her side, Amelie and Evie had also changed into a blue bridesmaid uniform, luckily, Cecilia had made someone quickly change the size of a bridesmaid uniform into a smaller one and put it on Cassie. Cassie was extremely happy.When Amelie went out to answer the phone, Betty hurriedly pulled Victoria over and whispered into her ear."Victoria, are you going to throw your flowers or give them away?""If I throw it, it belongs to whoever I throw it at." Victoria didn't want to pretend like her!"Then you saw it coming!" I already asked Evie, she said she didn't have any intention to get married, and Cassie is so young, why don't you just give it to my sister?” Betty said to her.Victoria laughed and nodded, "Alright, I'll give it to her! How about I throw it directly at her?”"Sure, I'll give it to her." After Betty finished speaking, Amelie came in. Betty quickly pretended to stretch her hand out to tidy up Victoria's hair veil
Waldo walked in front of a newspaper, saw Roderick's wedding, and said angrily: "Roderick actually didn't even call me marry anymore, you really do not put me, Waldo, in your eyes anymore."Originally, if he did not fall out with Roderick, he would be able to ask for help after such a thing happened. At least Roderick could help him with the company's matters.But Waldo was seeking death himself, so he lost this relationship. If he was not going to marry Grace, at least Roderick would not become his enemy, but if he married Grace, then hated him the most. Then, Roderick would not care about him anymore, and would directly turn him into an enemy.At the same time, after Betty's wedding, Victoria invited the two of them to be her concubine. Although she really wanted Amelie to join them, since she was married, the life of a concubine naturally wouldn't fall onto her shoulders as she only had two concubines, one was Roderick's chief assistant, the other was Lennon, the Arnold family and
Austin did not know why Roderick's assistant came here. It was only when Carson smiled and took out an invitation from his briefcase that Austin was stunned for a few seconds."Mr. Lawson, this is the wedding invitation from Mr. Arnold. Please accept it, Mrs. Arnold sincerely invites you to attend her wedding." Carson dutifully delivered Victoria's intentions to Austin.Austin was immediately shocked, "What did you say? Is this what Victoria told you to give to me?”"Yes, it's Mrs. Arnold's idea." Carson naturally addressed Victoria.Austin's face was complex and unfathomable. As he looked at the invitation card, he didn’t know what to do with her.On the card, there was a beautiful handwriting. It was personally written by Victoria, and there was only a kind invitation, "Austin, I really hope that you can attend my wedding. I want you to witness my happiness."These words, to Austin, really hurt him from the beginning to the end. The hand he used to hold the card trembled slightly, a
However, there were no pictures of him and Victoria on the page. Instead, he only used a few of Roderick's company's buildings as a picture.In the Lawson Group's office, Austin was currently reading this newspaper when his gaze landed on the few words of the wedding being held three days later. His face was instantly shrouded in pain, he had thought about the wedding with Victoria before, and had also selected various places. He had thought about her wedding dress and thought about their honeymoon location, but he had never imagined that the man she married wouldn't be him.Austin's hand involuntarily tightened and the newspaper in his hand also started to crack. This jealousy and unwillingness came from the bottom of his heart, even he himself did not sense it.When he came back to his senses, he realized that the newspaper was broken. He took a deep breath. He originally wanted to work at the company, but now he couldn't do anything. He just wanted to find a quiet place to drink."
Roderick consoled her, "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."Victoria also felt a faint unease. What Austin said on the phone last time made her think that he had not given up on his yet.This was the first time that Victoria hated being liked by others. She really hoped that there was nothing on her that could attract Austin anymore.Austin had also received Waldo's video from his office, which was what he had threatened an hour ago. If Waldo still did not say anything, would not be courteous at all.Unexpectedly, Waldo still lowered his head and agreed to give the company to Austin despite being forced into a corner.Austin sat in his office in satisfaction. After watching this video, he received many congratulatory messages from his clients.Austin called Kaylin and let her see this video. Recently, Kaylin didn't even want to see anyone, she was just like a person living in the shadows. She sat on the sofa and looked at Waldo's face that made her want to puke.B
However, the man's reply was even more direct. "I want your people."Victoria blushed slightly, "At that time, I didn't like you.""I know that one day, you will be mine, so I must first guard by your side and not let a man near you." Thinking about others, in Roderick's mind, naturally he thought of one person, and it was the Austin who had always been unwilling to give up.Although he didn't appear in front of Victoria again recently, he still wasn't at ease, because this man's ambition had never been extinguished and the feelings, he had towards Victoria had never dissipated.After hearing his words, Victoria also thought of Austin. She looked at him seriously, "Stop thinking so much. At that time, all of my thoughts were Franklin, so I wouldn't be tempted by anyone at all."Roderick flung Austin off and raised his eyebrows, "Maybe you really hate me at that time?""It's not that annoying anymore! "However, it's too overbearing." Victoria answered, and then turned to look at him, "
"Alright!" Lennon nodded, he took her phone and opened his camera."Ugh!" Remember to put on a beautiful face!” Cassie reminded her with a smile.However, even though she was not beautiful, she was still extremely beautiful and cute. Lennon laughed: "Even if she isn't beautiful, she will look good.""Alright then!" Don't make me too short.” Cassie also thought that if a man took her picture, he would do it randomly. She did not expect Lennon to take a picture of her so beautifully.However, Lennon's shooting skills were top—notch, he had always liked travel and photography, so, at this moment, even a fruit machine in his hands was producing a large amount of feeling. It was only because Cassie had such a cute face in the camera that made the effect even more so."Are you done shooting? Let me see.” Cassie hurried over to check on the photo, then exclaimed, "So beautiful, how did you take the photo?""Some functions can be used." Lennon laughed.Cassie immediately pulled on his sleeves
Although this wasn't the first time, every time he thought of her, he would have the same intense feeling as before.When Betty saw the look in his eyes, she wanted to dodge in embarrassment. However, the man had already grabbed the back of her head and kissed her passionately.The man couldn't wait to rip the evening gown he was wearing; it dyed her red like a fairy.Around 3 PM, the guests happily left the banquet hall and headed to their hotel room to rest and wait for the next round of the evening.At this moment, Eve was in her room resting with Franklin who was napping. Markus was not back yet, so Cassie was playing with her phone by her side. Her classmates were calling out for her to look at Lennon's photo.Cassie had secretly taken a few photos just now, but she did not send them to the group for everyone to admire. Instead, she had secretly taken them with her own hands to look at them.It looked good no matter how you shot it.At this time, a call came in. Cassie saw that s
Accompanied by Bryson, Betty walked towards the wedding room they had arranged today. It was a private villa, and the entire villa was suffused with a joyous redness, as if it was a different kind of wedding."Oh ..." Betty's high heel shoe roots were suddenly crooked, adding that she had been walking while wearing the high heel shoe's clothes for the whole day, she really felt that her feet were hurting, but she did not want to say it out loud."What's wrong? Let me see.” Bryson immediately crouched down and looked carefully at her slender bare feet."It's nothing, I just wore it for too long. My feet are a little red and swollen." Betty shook her head and reached out to help him up.Bryson had woken up, but Betty had already felt her entire body becoming light, and was immediately lifted by him. She immediately blushed from embarrassment, and looked around, as if she was afraid that others might see.Bryson saw through her thoughts and could not help but find it funny, "What are you
