When Desmond's body was sent out of the hospital, Victoria almost fainted. He wanted to go over and pull the cart, not allowing them to send his father away, but there were two hands that tightly pressed her to a chest, preventing her from going over. She could only watch as his father's body was carried away in the carriage, and watch as the cart drove away."Dad ... Dad ..." Victoria screamed.Roderick's arm wrapped around her, preventing her from doing anything irrational. No matter what, Desmond had died, so Victoria had to bear this matter, no matter how cruel it was, and how painful it was.The facts have been set."Why are you stopping me ... Why?" Victoria clenched both of her fists and punched the man's chest, as though she was blaming him, blaming him, but where did her fists get the slightest bit of strength?It was soft and soft, causing Roderick's heart to ache even more. He put his arm around her shoulders and allowed her to release her emotions.But, even with Victoria
Just then, Grace who was walking over heard it and she immediately gained speed, "Mr. Arnold, what did you say? Why not cremate him?""This is Victoria's intention." Roderick shot a cold gaze at Grace.Grace normally feared Roderick, but now that she was facing the death of her husband, she had the rights to speak out as to how she should handle the aftermath of her husband's death.She snorted, "As Desmond's wife, I have the right to speak on the matter. I recommend that my husband be cremated immediately."Grace ordered loudly.No matter how sad Victoria was, she had to endure it now. She walked in front of Grace and chided her in anger, "Grace, what exactly happened to incite my father to have a heart attack! Can you tell me now?""I was not by his side, how would I know?" Grace turned and glared at her."Alright, as my father's daughter, I need to check my father's health." Victoria said unyieldingly.Grace's expression changed. Although she could let Victoria inspect Desmond's bo
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
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
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
"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!
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
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
Early in the morning, Amelie opened her eyes. She thought that she was at home, her hands habitually wrapped around her pillow, preparing to sleep for a while more.Then, she suddenly thought of something and quickly opened her eyes. Sure enough, she was in Presidential Palace's guest room, covering her forehead.She took her phone and looked at it. She had gotten up early out of habit, and it was only 7: 00 PM.She originally applied for leave, but now that she was in Presidential Palace, she felt awkward.This Presidential Palace was not like a hotel on the main streets where one could call a taxi and go home the moment they stepped out of the door. Here, without Chaim's decision, she could not leave.Amelie got off the bed and changed into a set of clothes. Since she was here, she could not wear her private clothes.Amelie thought that she should just go to work! If Chaim wanted her to work here.Inside the training room, Chaim's f
It was the first time that she had enjoyed being accompanied by the Mr. Leveson for treatment. She did not have a shred of vanity in her heart, on the contrary, the better Chaim treated her, the more uneasy she became."It's a bit late. Why don't you tell your family that you won't be going back tonight?" Chaim suddenly said.Amelie was shocked. If she didn't go back, then where did she live?"Come to my place." Chaim stared at her, and directly spoke out.Amelie took a light breath, she hurriedly lowered her head to look at her watch, which showed that it was already 9: 30, she said frantically, "It's still early, send me back!"Chaim frowned, "Why do you have to go back?""I... Didn't I apply for leave? I still want to go home.” Amelie found an excuse.However, Chaim felt that this excuse was extremely reluctant. He felt that this woman probably hadn't even entered the state of mind to interact with him, and still avoided his
Chaim also raised his wrist to look at the opportunity, "Accompany me for a while longer."Amelie nodded her head silently, holding her ten fingers together, her sexy chin on her hand. His deep gaze sized her up, as if the one sitting opposite of him was not Amelie, but a painting that made him enchanted.Amelie could not help but feel fear and trepidation from his gaze. She blinked a few times in panic, and under his scorching gaze, her entire body seemed to be burning.Amelie's long eyelashes fluttered, her eyes flickered erratically, somewhat flustered and helpless."Don't look at me." Amelie could only plead. This man probably didn't know how powerful his gaze was.Chaim revealed a gentle smile, "How come we've never met each other before? I wish I had met you earlier.”Amelie thought about it and said, "I have seen you before, but it was a long distance.""Oh!" Chaim asked interestingly, "Then you really should have appeare
He glanced at the phone on the table. If he took a closer look, wasn't that her phone?Chaim's gaze was always on the phone's screen, the words that occasionally floated up were all Lukas's attack on the information.Amelie heard two consecutive messages, and her heart immediately tensed up, she quickly picked up the phone, unlocked the lock, and opened the message. There were at least 10 messages, and even if the number was not displayed, looking at the content of the messages, Amelie knew, it was from Lukas."A blind date?" Suddenly, a man's voice without any emotion asked.Amelie's hand that was holding the phone trembled slightly, her heart strings also tensed up. She switched the phone to mute mode and put it back inside her bag.She felt a sharp gaze on her head, causing her to unconsciously feel nervous and uneasy. She bit her lips and raised her head to meet the man's eyes. She nodded, "Yes, we've met before."Chaim's face instantly
Amelie struggled to think about it for a good while before she finally said, "Alright, I'll come out."The man at the other end smiled in satisfaction. "Alright, my people will pick you up at your door at 6 o'clock on time."Amelie bit her lips and answered, "Okay.""See you later." Chaim ended his speech and hung up.Amelie held onto the phone, completely dumbfounded. In her mind, there was only Chaim's low laughter, as if a kind of alluring melody, was lingering in her mind.In the kitchen, Letitia was just about to eat her food when she quickly said, "Mom, I'm not eating at home tonight. If you're going to eat, don't serve my meal."Letitia could not help but ask curiously, "Who are you with?""That's right ... He's just a classmate; it's been a long time since we've been in contact." Amelie panicked.After Letitia heard this, she also felt that it was not bad. This daughter of hers should contact more people from the outsid
Amelie walked towards this matchmaking pair. When she sat down, she felt that the man in front of her had his eyes closely sizing her up, revealing a strong interest. Amelie wasn't really interested in him, but she maintained a polite performance.The name of the matchmaking pair was Lukas Fleury, a very popular name."Amelie, you look really young. It's obvious that we're only one year apart from each other ..." Lukas looked at her in surprise.Amelie almost spat out the tea she was drinking. Luckily, she maintained her grace, a difference of one year old? How is this possible?Lukas could feel that she was shocked, and immediately said calmly, "Seriously, I did not lie to you. I am 29 years old this year, and did not report my age, do you want to see my ID card?"Amelie forced herself not to laugh, and shook her head, "No need, I believe in you.""Amelie, our work is very similar in nature. We are all engaged in brain work, and I believe w
Amelie's words caused Valery to sigh, "You are a clever person. I am very at ease with you, as I am confident in my son as well. If he was someone who could be bewitched so easily, he would not have his current achievements."From the lady's words, Amelie heard her understanding of her son, as well as her confidence and pride.Indeed, she should be proud to have a son like Chaim.Valery pointed to the teacup on the table, "Amelie, drink a cup of tea!"Amelie was truly thirsty now. She picked up her teacup, drank a few mouthfuls of tea and put the cup down.Valery saw that she had finished her tea, and then continued to speak, "Amelie, I have come to find you, hoping that you will leave my son. Even if you fell in love with each other, could you please leave him?”Amelie's clear eyes, at this moment, were inexplicably tinged with a hint of bitterness. She pursed her lips and nodded.For no reason at all, she had to do it because that m
Amelie ran back home at 8: 30 AM. Letitia had already prepared breakfast for her.In the afternoon, Amelie was at home accompanying her mother and chatting when the doorbell suddenly rang. Amelie got up and opened the door.A middle—aged man wearing a suit stood at the door, smiling at her as he asked, "Excuse me, are you Amelie?""Yes, may I know what you need?" Amelie was sensitive enough to know that this man's identity was someone from the political world."I was entrusted by someone to go to a place and meet someone." The man was very polite.Amelie was shocked, she secretly thought, this person, must not be an ordinary person!"Excuse me, who would like to see me?" Amelie could not help but ask."It's the Mr. Leveson's mother." The man replied to her very calmly.Amelie's head exploded, this was truly shocking to her, why was it that the person who saw her, was Chaim's mother?Had he introduced himself to his
Amelie had received a call from Devan in the afternoon, and over the phone, Devan directly told her that he would give her another week of vacation time. By the side of the phone, Amelie was naturally very surprised, why did the three days of vacation extend for her?However, Amelie didn't ask further. She pretended to be extremely happy and agreed.After hanging up, the happiness on Amelie's face turned into deep thought. Whether it was decided by Devan or not, Devan was not her direct superior.Why did he suddenly give her more vacation time? Amelie only thought about it carefully for a while before coming up with a reason.Last time when he was overseas, didn't he say that he would meet the granddaughter of that general when he returned? He would probably go on a blind date in the next two days! So, he gave her leave to miss the time he wanted to see the girl.That's probably the only reason!Amelie's chest suddenly felt as if something w
