Betty could only obediently choose the jewels and shoes. However, after thinking for a bit, she realized that the banquet would be held tomorrow! Was Bryson wrong?After changing her clothes, Betty saw the man who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. She squinted her eyes and said, "Isn't the banquet tomorrow?"Bryson thought for a bit, then smiled, "I have a small private banquet tonight, accompany me there!""Do I need to change into evening dress?""No need! It's just a private gathering between friends, you just have to come over to have a meal with me." Bryson saw that she was wearing fresh clothes that day that carried a hint of sexiness, which was also not bad.It was only then that Betty remembered that he had said that tonight's time would belong to him. She had actually long planned this.At half past five, Betty received a call from Lola, asking her when she would return to the hotel. Betty could only tell him about the meeting between her and Bryson, and told her t
"Alright! "If you don't want me to watch, then don't. Return the phone to me!" said as she reached out her hand to him. The phone was a personal item, and she still had her privacy in the phone! For example, she didn't want to be admired for taking ugly pictures."Return it after eating." Bryson placed her phone on the corner of the table, not giving it to her.Betty looked at him speechlessly once again. She didn't have a phone to look at anymore, this time, she really didn't know what to talk about with him, so she could only look at the candle light and admire the burning beauty. Suddenly, she blew on it out of curiosity.Bryson looked at her with his deep gaze and looked at her mischievous personality. He found it funny.When Betty blew forcefully, a candle was extinguished. She was immediately startled, but these candles were all fixed, she was stunned for a few seconds, not knowing what to do!"Do you have a lighter?" Betty could only ask him."I don't smoke." Bryson answered he
The four men on the stage didn't seem to have any competitive gambling thoughts. They were all thinking rationally and calmly, as if they were scheming against each other's cards, turning this gamble into a way to eliminate any misunderstandings.In their eyes, it was as if tens of millions of dollars were nothing, but that only made the women beside them tense up.Betty sat beside Bryson and did not relax even a bit. However, this man's skills and posture were definitely the most handsome and calm she had ever seen. On the other hand, the hands he used with his cards were long and fair, so beautiful that it looked like it could be used as a model.She lowered her head and looked at her hands. Although they were slender and beautiful, they were not as beautiful as the hands of this man.In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed while playing cards, and Betty had not been sitting at the table accompanying him. She would occasionally take a break and walk to the balcony to view the bea
She was shocked and quickly turned her body around. However, she was even more embarrassed when she found that she was facing this man. She slightly raised her head while the man bent over. The tips of their noses were almost touching.Betty's breathing became ragged, and did not even dare to breathe loudly. The man's aroma of alcohol wafted down, causing her mind to go blank as she looked at him.His eyes were as deep as the sea, unfathomable, and her eyes, reflecting the stars, sparkled and blurred, making a man's mind stir violently. Without hesitation, he bent down and covered her moving red lips with his lips.Betty's eyes widened slightly. This man was kissing her?His lips were gently sucking on her lips, as if he was trying to taste the finest of wine. He didn't rush to taste it, but was instead probing it bit by bit.When she was shooting, she had kissed him before, but it was limited to the touch of his lips and did not allow him to kiss her any deeper. However, why, at this
Betty stared at these chips for a long time, not knowing what to do! In the end, she couldn't even be bothered with the chips he won, so she picked up her bag and quickly left, because she didn't want to stay here any longer.When Betty caught up to Bryson, he wasn't surprised in the slightest that she had caught up. With one hand in his pocket, and his tall and leg—long figure, even though he was walking beside a few tall Western men, he was not suppressed at all.Betty gulped down his saliva. As it was VIP treatment, she had the right to disembark first, and at the other end of the hall, a large group of gamblers were stopped. Betty followed Bryson out of the cruise, and outside, a red light flashed, everything became dazzling and modern.Compared to the tranquility and calmness of the sea surface, it was in stark contrast.Betty looked at Bryson in front of her, she did not know where she got her anger from, but when she raised her head, she saw that there was a row of taxis parked
At home!Victoria still participated in Mina's recording. In the recording shed, at 3 in the afternoon, another punctual dessert and drinks were delivered in. Roderick had ordered and delivered them over, causing Mina's staff to all shout in joy!Looks like as long as Victoria was here, they would be able to enjoy these sweets and beverages every day. Furthermore, this family's sweets were so expensive that ordinary people couldn't afford to eat them every day.In the resting area, Mina couldn't help but start to tease Victoria, "Victoria, looks like Mr. Arnold is very good to you! Don't forget to ask me for your wedding! "Let me join in the fun too."Victoria found it funny, she and Roderick had not reached that step yet! She held onto a cup of coffee and said, "Mina, there will be long time!""Isn't this something that will happen sooner or later? Now it seems that not many women can resist the passionate pursuit of Mr. Arnold. I believe you will also feel very sweet!" Mina was very
It was a delicious candlelight dinner, coupled with the man's teasing gaze, Victoria ate until her heart beat faster. Tonight, the moonlight was not hidden in the clouds, but rather it illuminated the entire city, shrouding it in a faint silver light. This kind of night, made people feel like not wanting to sleep and waste it."How about a ride after dinner?" Roderick asked Victoria who was at the opposite side.Victoria turned her head to look out the window at the beautiful moon, she nodded, "Sure! Where do you go for a ride?""I know a good place. It's the best place to see the moonlight." Roderick said while gracefully sipping his wine."How do you know?" Have you brought a woman you didn't see before?" Victoria looked at him intently. For some inexplicable reason, she felt a bit bored in her heart.A smile flashed past Roderick's eyes. He smiled and said, "Right, I brought a girl to take a look. She likes it quite a lot, so I believe that you would also like that place!"Victoria
"There are only two paths on this path. I can only lure them to the top of the mountain, otherwise, we won't be able to escape." Roderick knew that the mountain road was surrounded by steep cliffs, of course he would not joke around with Victoria's life.He would rather face this group of delinquents than to give them the chance to ram into his car. Roderick called the captain of the bodyguards and told him his address, telling them to come here immediately.Before his bodyguards rushed over, Roderick could only face the situation on his own.Victoria's heart really stopped beating because of her fear. She felt a real fear of playing out a life and death scene, she bit her lips tightly, at this moment, her only hope was for Roderick's bodyguards to rush over.Roderick's car quickly reached the top. At the top of the car was a huge flat area that had been pushed flat. His sportscar immediately occupied a dead—end location, and his car elegantly swung its tail to block the road at the f
"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
