Under the bright crystal light, Roderick took off his shirt on the sofa, revealing his sexy and perfect figure. His waist was strong, his chest muscles and stomach muscles were distinct, and her figure was so good that it would make people spurt blood.Victoria brought down the medicinal case, and a faint blush appeared on her white face. This man had displayed his strong side tonight, but now, he had displayed his weakness in front of her.Victoria walked to his side, she looked at the three obvious marks left by the rod on his back, and a pained look appeared in her eyes."Let me apply some medicine for you!""Wait for me to take a bath first!" After Roderick finished speaking, he saw the obvious worry in her eyes, and the corner of his mouth slowly rose a hint of hidden happiness.Victoria sat on the sofa and waited for this man to take a bath. Not long later, Roderick came down wearing a pair of pajamas on his lower body.Victoria stood up and then sat down beside her. He took out
Betty was still in bed, and if Lola did not open the door with the key to take a look at her, she would still be able to continue sleeping, because she really could not sleep last night until 5 am.With so much money suddenly on her account and Bryson's phone number being unable to be reached, her heart was about to pop out of her throat. Under such a circumstance, it would be weird if she could sleep."Oh, Betty!" How can you still sleep! Look at the time! It's easy to get pimples on your forehead. I've already told you a few times, do you have to sleep on time?" Lola's old lady's voice buzzed in her ears.Betty covered her ears and turned her body before continuing her sleep. At the same time, she begged her as if she was sleep speaking, "Lola, let me sleep a little more, I'll sleep for another hour.""Did you rob a bank or did you sleepwalk last night? What's the matter with you?" After Lola recited it again, she still allowed her to rest. However, she thought of something when she
"Even if you ask me to join, I still have the right to choose!" Theobald was very sure that Betty would play along with the show.Saxon turned and looked at Lola, "Alright, go back and tell your artiste! It's her."Lola was overjoyed, who would have thought that Theobald would choose Betty, this meant that once the variety show was broadcasted, Betty's reputation would increase by more than several times! That was multiplying several times!"Thank you, Mr. Sanchez. I really want to thank you very much for liking Betty. She will definitely not disappoint you.""Good! Tell her that we'll meet each other on the set!" Theobald smiled.The moment Lola came out, she impatiently wanted to call Betty and make her happy.Coincidentally, Betty walked into a quiet coffee shop and she invited Diya in to take a seat. She heard the phone call and picked it up, it was Lola who called and she picked it up, "Hello! Lola!""Betty, what do you think I got for you?""Could it be that you really let me jo
When the car drove into a sealed road, and the bodyguard checked her invitation card, she was finally allowed to enter. Betty looked at the bright night sky and her heart still jumped.This was definitely not an ordinary banquet, but a grand ceremony that was watched by all over the world. It was an honor to be able to attend this banquet tonight.Should she be happy? Betty's car stopped at the parking lot in front of the hall for a while. The driver told her that Bryson was inside, and told her to go in and search for him or call him.Betty nodded in agreement, but in her heart, she was thinking that she could play for a while and wander around a bit, and that she didn't want to see him again immediately!Betty carried a delicate, shiny, small bag and walked into the banquet. In the huge, luxurious hall, beauty and stars were everywhere. There were all sorts of handsome men and beautiful women, all of whom were favored by the fashionable world.However, Betty thought that she was onl
When Bryson came in, he had already been standing here looking at her. The reason he did not go down to look for her was because he was hoping that this woman would take the initiative to contact him.However, she didn't take the initiative to call him. At the same time, she let him see her cousin bump into her. At this moment, the two of them were standing in the crowd, talking and laughing, causing his eyes to turn dark and complicated.But because that man was his cousin, Bryson naturally did not go and disturb him. He was just a little disappointed, even if she did not want to see him, it just so happened that tonight, he would not need her.Beside Bryson, a mixed blood female star walked over, "Mr. Mcintosh, why are you alone? Do you need my company?"Bryson looked at her exquisite face and nodded, "Of course I do."She had mustered her courage to get close to him, but she had actually succeeded in their conversation. Although Bryson's identity was still mysterious, he was rich a
Beneath the cold water, Betty's heart was filled with fears. She tried her best to wave her hand, but helplessly, her entire body sank into the water. She was almost half—lying on the bottom of the pool that was two meters deep.Her eyes, which were open in the water, began to hurt. She opened her mouth to scream for help and gulped down a few mouthfuls of the pool water.Suddenly, half lying on the ground, she saw the figure of a man coming straight towards her. Just as Betty was about to faint, she felt joy in her heart, there was hope, and when she clearly saw the face of the man that was approaching her.She was stunned for a moment. Heavens! How did Bryson save her?Before she could think much about it, she felt a strong force pull her up and bring her straight to the surface of the water. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms tightly around her savior's neck and softly leaned against his chest."Cough ... Cough ..."The security guards at the side of the pool immediately pulled Be
Under the bright lights, she was like an angel. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, leaving behind a slender shadow.When Betty heard him come out, she couldn't help but to turn around. She discovered that he was standing at the door by the balcony with his arms crossed, and he was staring at her.Just as Betty fell down the swimming pool, her bag was gone as well. Fortunately, there was only her phone, lipstick and nothing else important in her bag."Thank you for just now!" Betty thanked him seriously."How do you want to thank me?" Bryson squinted, as he locked his eyes onto her with a profound gaze.Betty's clear and limpid eyes slightly widened. Could it be that her thanks isn't enough? You even need action to thank me? But he had saved her just now.So, she has to obey him the way of thank him!"Then how do you want me to thank you?" Betty could only listen to his opinion first.Her tone made the man's face flash with a hint of warmth. His thin lips curled up as he said, "Are y
That night, Betty and Bryson went back to their respective rooms to rest. Betty did not forget to lock the door, as she was truly worried about being in the same room with a man.On the other hand.Victoria washed up and pushed open the door to her room. She immediately saw Roderick standing in the garden and was making a call. She thought it was to talk to her son on the phone.As she approached, she heard his cold voice instructing the other end of the phone, "Don't let any of them go. Just leave them some breath."Victoria's heart strings suddenly tightened. What was this man doing? Who was he going to fight?Then she thought, "It must be those people from last night!" Victoria's footsteps stopped. Those people from last night wanted obviously kill him, so, no matter how fierce Roderick's retaliation was, she would not interfere. She only hoped that he had the ability to handle all the consequences.Roderick could sense that there was someone behind him. He immediately kept his pho
"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
