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
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
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'
"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
Victoria quieted down for a while before she finally calmed down, but her eyes were still filled with hatred. Roderick frowned and said, "I'll help you investigate Valentine, and see if there's anything going on between him and Grace. Or there's some sort of property deal between them.""Can you find out?" Victoria looked up at him.Roderick nodded firmly, "I can find out.""Well, thank you!" Victoria looked up at him with gratitude in her eyes.Roderick gently caressed the back of her head, "Don't be polite with me, your father is also my son's grandfather, so you business is my business."Victoria thought about the rejection and indifference she gave this man before, she started to feel a little guilty at this moment. Even the thing he had done five years ago, he had already been made up it.Now she had no hatred for this man, only gratitude, and she thought perhaps she would be together with him when this thing was over."I'll send you back. After we've thoroughly investigated the
"Alright, I agree." Valery nodded her head; she could interfere with this matter."Then I'll go back first, madam. Goodbye." Amelie stood up politely, turned and left.Valery looked at her and sighed.On the way home, Amelie powerlessly sat in the back seat as tears silently fell. The faint yellow light covered all her sad expression, making her look as calm as if she was sitting on a statue.But no one knew, her heart felt as if it was being cut by something. It hurt, but she didn't dare to exhale.Back at home, Amelie told her mother that she had gone back to her room after dinner. She couldn't eat anymore.She closed the door tightly. Only at this moment could she let her tears fall freely. She thought, everything should be over.How she wished that such a thing could happen earlier, before she even left the country with him. That way, she wouldn't have to suffer so much anymore.Because at that time, she hadn't been tempted
After sending off his mother, Chaim heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. At least, on this matter, he had given his mother an attitude, he was not overly unyielding, and was also considering that from now on, he would have to introduce Amelie to his family.If he rejected Keyla unyieldingly right now, then, in the future, his mother would also know that Amelie was by his side, and might even have some complaints towards him.Now, Chaim did not want to involve Amelie in this matter. If his mother mentioned Keyla again, he would use all sorts of reasons to shirk this matter. Just like before, his mother would understand that he did not like Keyla not forcing him.Chaim couldn't wait and wanted to recall Amelie and come over to his side. He picked up his phone, walked to his study and dialed Amelie's number."Hey!" Amelie's gentle voice came out.Chaim felt that all the depression in the bottom of his heart had disappeared with these words. His expre
After eating, Valery was prepared to take her on a tour of Presidential Palace. She initially wanted to have Chaim accompany her, but Chaim rejected her with the excuse of being busy.Valery could only accompany her, the two of them went upstairs to visit. As Keyla walked up the stairs with an extraordinary atmosphere, she wondered if this was the place where she would live in the future.When they arrived at the second floor, they saw that there were many famous paintings, each of which was very valuable. The two of them walked as they admired the paintings until they reached the last room on the third floor."This is my son's master bedroom. I'll go in and take a look." It had been a long time since Valery took care of her son's private life. At this moment, she couldn't help but be curious about how her son's life was going.Keyla's beautiful face slightly flushed, but she was even more curious about Chaim's master bedroom. Valery very naturally pushed
After Keyla expressed her thoughts, she couldn't help but look at his expression, but what made her disappointed was that in Chaim's eyes, she didn't see any anticipation or pleasant surprise.Chaim's gaze was as clear as water, there were no ripples.Thank you, Ms. Bidon, for your kindness. You probably don't understand me too well; I don't like others to take care of me. Chaim's thin lips opened gracefully, and looked towards the cold weather outside the window. He squinted his eyes and said, "Ms. Bidon, sit for a while.With that, Chaim got up and called Talan over, "Help me get Ms. Bidon another cup of hot tea.""Alright!" Talan nodded.Seeing that Chaim had left just like that, she couldn't help but to send him off, wanting to call him over. However, Chaim's back had an indescribable majesty, causing her to not dare be presumptuous.Talan gave her another cup of hot tea and went back to work. In the entire hall, only Keyla was left sitt
Returning home, Amelie's head was still heavy. Seeing that she was clearly wearing her private clothes and now that she had changed into a set a suit, Letitia was surprised, "Where did you go last night?""I wasn't feeling well last night, so I stayed at a friend's house.""Is your friend male or female?""Of course it's a woman." Amelie replied with a smile.Letitia also hoped that it was a girl, that her daughter was still someone with an important reputation. Looking at her holding the medicine in her hands, she asked her in detail about her illness.Amelie could finally rest at home. While lying on the bed, she wanted to sleep a little more, but discovered that she couldn't sleep at all.In the afternoon, in the garden outside of Presidential Palace, a black car slowly drove in, and the bodyguard got off the car and gently opened the door, Valery was the first to step out, following behind her, a graceful young lady walked in.She
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
