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
In the next few days, Roderick tried to find the evidence on Valentine and Grace, but when they were together behind Desmond, they naturally did all sorts of secretive measures, so Roderick did not manage to find out for a few days. On the contrary, there was only a day left before the announcement of Desmond's will.Right now, the company was still managed by Grace, and she had already become the number one executive of the Marquez Group. With her many years of experience in managing the Marquez family, she managed it calmly.Kaylin had even more confidence now. Her own mother had managed the Marquez Group, and this company would be hers in the future. This made her feel extremely proud and pleased.Grace's heart had settled down, Victoria actually did not come looking for her. It was clear that she did not find out anything, and if tomorrow's announcement was made, she would definitely own all the shares of the Marquez Group, while Victoria would only get a few assets.This night, V
Yves picked up the will. He went over it first, then cleared his throat, and started to read the information of the person who had the will. It was precisely Desmond's information. Hearing Yves read out her father's identity in a calm voice.The tip of Victoria's nose twitched, and she forced herself to continue listening carefully to what Yves was about to say."In order to prevent my family from property disputes after my death, when I am clear—minded and full capacity, according to our country's inheritance law and property law, I hereby leave the will."After reading up to here, Yves looked at Grace, Victoria and Kaylin. Then, he continued, "I own the Marquez Group, which is located in the Building 208, the middle section of Sunset Road." Following that, Yves carefully read out the company's business number and production certificate number, following that, he said, "This company should belong to me according to the law, and after my death, pass all of its authority to my wife, Gr
Sitting in Roderick's car, Victoria still couldn't help but cry. She bit her lips, her heart filled with anger and grief.Roderick reached out and wiped away the tears on her eyes, then said in a low voice, "Victoria, don't cry, even if the Marquez Group is truly taken over by Grace, don't worry, I will snatch it back and return it to you!"Roderick's voice was firm and forceful, as if he had made a promise.Victoria stared at him with her teary eyes, yet, she didn't know what to say."Right now, you only need to do one thing, and that is to be with me. From now on, I'll pamper you, protect you, and take care of you!" Roderick's voice was filled with caution and probing.After all he didn't dare guarantee that Victoria would definitely want to rely on him.Victoria was indeed unable to speak, she was moved by his words just now. She had never thought that in order to take back what was hers, she would be with him."I'll give you some time to think about it. But you need to know, even
"Mr. Arnold, I'm sorry, this is indeed the will that was hard to overthrow. Miss Marquez can only accept this loss."Roderick sent the lawyer away and when he returned, he saw that Victoria was not in the meeting room. He was shocked and hurriedly searched the second floor, but he was unable to find her. Then, he quickly ran up to the third floor and did not see her. In the end, he went straight to the top floor.He saw Victoria standing in front of the railings with a delicate figure, as though she was about to be blown away by the wind. At the same time, thinking of the despair in her heart, he felt a layer of fear.He let out a small breath and almost dashed to her back. He immediately reached out his arm and tightly pulled her into his embrace. With a low breath, he warned, "Victoria, don't do anything stupid."Victoria did not want to commit suicide easily, she only felt that the room was too stuffy, she wanted to go up to blow on the wind, but at that moment, she felt that the h
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
