"Alright! Bring Franklin back as well."
"Franklin might not come back, he's with my friend!"
"That's fine too!" Desmond thought, the atmosphere isn't good for her to bring Franklin back at this time! He did not insist.
Victoria remembered Austin's phone number. She was very familiar with that numbers. After hesitating for a moment, she still called Austin's number.
"Victoria, is that you?" Austin's gentle voice sounded.
"It's me! There's something I need to tell you. My dad just called me and asked if you'd like to go back to the Marquez's residence for a meal." Victoria conveyed her father's meaning.
Austin was a smart person and understood immediately. He sighed lightly and said, "If you want me to go, then I will go back with you."
"If you don't want to marry Kaylin, you'd better make it clear to her because I don't want her resentment to spill onto me." Victoria was already very annoyed by this.
"Where are you now?"
But at this moment, Victoria's voice cut in from behind him, "Kaylin, did you hear his words clearly? Don't bother me like a shrew."Victoria felt bored as she walked around the hall. She didn't expect Austin and Kaylin to be in the garden. They hadn't gone far, so she had heard everything Kaylin said.Kaylin's eyes flashed with pride as she held onto Austin's arm and said to Victoria, "You already know that Austin and I are sleeping together, so why are you still pestering him?"Austin's nerves immediately tensed up as his mind went blank. He wanted to stop Kaylin, but Kaylin was even more pleased with herself. "Five years ago, we spent the entire night together."Victoria smiled. "You don't need to emphasize it so clearly. I've personally seen the way you two slept together five years ago."Kaylin snorted. "Then you must have seen how tightly and intimately we hugged each other!"Austin coldly pulled out his arm from Kaylin's grasp. "Why d
In just a dozen or so seconds of video, Roderick certainly recognized the car that had come into view from the video in his mobile phone. And he did not remember by mistake; today, his car was given to that woman to wash. How could she just randomly drive his car?"This car in front seems to be yours, I also happen to recognize the one behind, it seems to be the Lawson Group's President, Austin! Weren't you always competitors in the mall? How did you become good friend?" Bryson was extremely knowledgeable about cars, and the owner a few of them probably were known by him.This time, Roderick's expression was completely dark. This woman was driving his car to date whit Austin, right? Damn it, what did this woman mean?"What’s wrong with you? Your car couldn't have been stolen! "Bryson asked in concern when he saw Roderick's ugly expression."No one stole it, but a damned woman drove it away.""A damned woman? You have a girlfriend?""I'
"I'll go with you." Austin also stood up.Kaylin immediately tugged at his sleeve. "Austin, can you stay here and accompany me?! Don't go."Victoria didn't wait for Austin. She picked up her bag and left. Austin obviously didn't want to stay. He said to Desmond and Grace, "Uncle, Auntie, I'll be leaving too." After he finished speaking, he pulled away Kaylin's hand and chased after Victoria with large strides.Kaylin chased after him as well. Desmond sighed and looked at Grace. "Austin, this child, and Kaylin are really out of the question.""Who said it's impossible? If it wasn't your eldest daughter luring Austin, how could Kaylin not have a chance?" Grace immediately complained."You... How can you blame it on Victoria? She did not do anything. Furthermore, Austin and Victoria had grown up together, but Kaylin was the one who broke in on their way. Victoria is the victim here." Desmond fought for his eldest daughter.When Victoria had ret
"Wash it again. I don't want my car with the smell of others." With a cold expression, Roderick spat the words out of disdain and walked in the direction of the elevator.Austin naturally knew that Roderick was referring to him. His sword-like eyebrows were tightly knitted together as he said, "Mr. Arnold, please don't insult others.""She doesn't have the right to let anyone ride in my car. Next time, please be more tactful, Mr. Lawson. No, there won't be a next time."After Roderick said what he wanted to say in a domineering manner, he walked into the elevator and left behind Austin, who had an ugly expression, and Victoria, who had an extremely awkward expression.Austin clenched his fist. Victoria noticed that, and she knew that Austin also had a strong sense of pride. She immediately went up to comfort him, "Austin, don't be angry. Where are you going?""Can I borrow your car?" Austin asked her.This time, Victoria was in a difficult p
Yes, it would be best to draw a clear line between them in the future. Other than the matter with her son, she would not have any interactions with Roderick.Absolutely not.Thinking this way, Victoria set an alarm clock and decided to sleep because if her son didn't come back tonight, she would stay with Betty. At that time, they may stay up late. She has to rest up and plays with her good friend.At around 5 p.m., Victoria's alarm clock hadn't rung yet, but her phone rang first. Victoria picked it up and saw that it was Austin.He must have come to return the car keys! She was just about to go out."Hey!""Are you home? I'll return the car keys later. "Austin's voice sounded."Here! Come up and knock on the door! "Victoria replied.It was at this moment that Victoria thought of something. She had to ask Roderick if he would bring the little guy back tonight.Victoria thought that Austin wasn't that fast and couldn't he
Victoria called Betty. Betty had just left the airport and they had arranged to meet at her home.Half an hour later, the two sisters met at Betty's home. They hadn't seen each other for almost two weeks, and they missed each other a lot.Betty was also a beautiful and cute girl. She was also known as a pure goddess on the internet. She was one of the few female celebrities who didn't attract any dark rumors. Furthermore, her acting skills were also very good.Betty takes out a glass of milk and gives it to Victoria. “Is there anything interesting to share with me?""Not that interesting, but a bunch of annoying stuff.""Annoying? Who's bothering you?""Who else?""Oh! It must be Roderick! Is he a very annoying man?" Betty asked confusedly. She definitely wouldn't have the chance to meet someone like Roderick, who was at the top of the business world."We are naturally incompatible, and always quarrel at the moment we mee
"Victoria!" The voice bellowed out word by word while gnashing its teeth.At this moment, Victoria felt her hands sticky. She said to Betty, who was leaning against the paper, "Give me some paper. My hands are too sticky."This sentence caused Roderick who was listening to it to stop breathing. Sticky? Take the paper? What did this woman do for Austin? Roderick's imagination had always been good. As a man, Roderick could instantly understand this sort of thing."Victoria, you're too shameless." Roderick roared at the microphone as Victoria directly stepped over his bottom line.In his heart, this woman was dirty, filthy to the point of disgust.Victoria was just taking the paper from Betty and wiping her hands when she heard Roderick's shout from the other side of the phone. She jumped in shock and hurriedly grabbed her phone, asking angrily, "What happened to me? How did I offend you?"At this moment, Victoria saw that Betty was about to re
Roderick grit his teeth. This woman really didn't let him relax. Yesterday, when she was with Austin, today she had changed into another man."Get the media to take the pictures away.""Then do we need to be warned about that Maxim?""Just that the warning is too simple. I'll get someone to deal with it." A cruel smile flashed across Roderick's face. After Carson left, he picked up his phone and dialed his good friend Bryson's number. The entire entertainment industry was controlled by Bryson, so it was easy for him to deal with an artiste."Hey! Roderick.""Help me get rid of someone.""Who?""He's a celebrity called Maxim.""Oh! Did you see that piece of news about him and Victoria? Well, I know what to do." To Bryson, it was just a matter of losing an artiste. Right now, he was filled with people who could rise to prominence, and there was no lack of talented people.It was just that Maxim was going to be in trouble t
"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
