Beatrice was sitting on the ground when Andrius arrived. She folded up the trousers of her cycling jersey, revealing her glowing alabaster skin.She happily waved to Andrius. "Andrius, I'm here."Every time Andrius saw her smiling face, he could feel her vigorously youthful vitality.He hurriedly got out of the car and walked over with the small first aid kit.At a glance, her knee appeared to be badly scratched, bleeding heavily and bruised all over.The front wheel of the bicycle next to her had been deformed."I didn't notice that it's going downhill here, so it was too fast. A random rock popped up, and my bike turned sideways as it went over the rock, so I fell!" Beatrice smiled playfully.She was easily approachable to the opposite sex.Andrius quickly took out the kit, helped her do a simple cleaning and disinfection, and then wrapped the wound with gauze.In the process, Beatrice was so physically close to Andrius that the faint floral scent on her body kept wafting in
Mary was weeding, but the weeds in her heart grew wildly.When she came back to her senses, she realized that Andrius had agreed to a meal at home.She was a little excited.Her mother noticed all her tiny reactions completely.Andrius ate the meal with gusto, probably because of the special Northwestern cuisine.Auntie Wilson and Andrius were chatting throughout the meal, and Auntie Wilson asked plenty about Andrius's family situation.Mary felt so embarrassed.However, she noticed that Andrius did not seem to mind.After the meal, Andrius praised Auntie Wilson's cooking again.Mary called out to Andrius before he left, with a slight seriousness on her face. "Did you take all your medication on time?""Yes, I’m almost recovered. My stomach feels a lot better recently, unlike the burning feeling I used to have." Andrius suddenly smiled and thanked Mary.However, Mary still maintained her restraint and asked him to have another checkup in the next two days.Andrius nodded, b
That night, when Rosalie returned from the research institute, she saw the three little ones pouting their lips in displeasure.Especially Estelle, who looked angry as she said, “Mommy, you promised to take me to the design exhibition, but you were too busy! In the end, it was Daddy who took me there."“Estie, please don’t be mad at Mommy. Mommy was busy at work. She's a miracle doctor with such a big research institute to manage. It’s hard not to be busy with so much work.”“Yeah, Sis. We can ask Mommy to compensate us by taking us somewhere else the next time, okay?”Both the boys were explaining on Rosalie’s behalf and coaxing Estelle.Rosalie felt bad. She squatted and apologized to Estelle.“It’s my fault. I forgot the deal I had with you. It’s a terrible mistake. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”Her motive was to show a good example to her kids.Estelle was only unhappy and did not expect Rosalie to apologize so seriously. She immediately shook her head and pounced into Ros
Byron knew they did not invite Rosalie’s parents.It was because he had noticed that Rosalie never mentioned her parents.Byron had tried asking Lucian and Nox, but they had never seen their grandparents from Rosalie’s side either.This meant Rosalie was trying to avoid having anything to do with her family.It made Byron recall what had happened years ago. Byron and Rosalie married for the first time because Rosalie’s parents wanted money.To be precise, it was her father and her stepmother.“Dad, Mom, I think you shouldn't rush into things on this matter. Rosie’s family is a little complicated, and they might be unable to attend the wedding.”Byron felt Rosalie might have no feelings for her father and stepmother.Thus, looking for Rosalie’s father and stepmother might not be a good idea. Benedict and Rosalie looked at each other.A memory of the past struck them when Byron said this.Then, they realized what he meant.“Now I remember! Rosie’s father, Gordon Jacobs, had
On the ground floor of Sherot City Plaza in Coast City, the biggest official store under the Petal Talk Group Rosalie established was holding its opening ceremony at 9.00 a.m. A few hundred people were already queuing outside the store.Their queue had blocked other stores on the same floor.Many other branded stores from abroad were envious of Petal Talk's many customers. When the staff heard rumors about Petal Talk opening a few more stores in Coast City, they even considered resigning and applying for a job at Petal Talk.To deal with the customers, Chloe arrived at the store early and was in the storeroom, counting the stocks.They had only produced a few thousand sets of products, which were insufficient to sell.At her order, the employees put on a smile and opened the door of the store. The customers gushed into the store like a tsunami wave.“Dear customers, please line up. We'll distribute number tickets. Please don’t cut queues or push around. Each customer is allowed
Chloe’s gaze turned cold.She felt she was like a clown.Wendy was better than her. At least Wendy had a good time with Byron and had even been his fiance.Meanwhile, she was Byron’s childhood friend, yet she missed every chance she had.She wondered what Byron’s feelings were for Rosalie. Was it really love or was it because Rosalie’s ability had increased tenfold?Six years ago, Rosalie was worthless and was casually kicked out of the Lawrence family.Now, Rosalie owned a research institute, a hospital, a company, and Petal Talk.Therefore, were Byron’s feelings for her not because of her change?Maybe as long as she could own Petal Talk and become a powerful woman, Byron would look at her differently.Chloe’s heart was a mess....From the time Rosalie and Byron decided to hold a wedding, Byron had been preparing everything himself. He chose the location, attire, and music band and even listed the guests they wanted to invite.He even suggested getting some celebrities o
Douglas dared not say a word even though the responsibility was not his.Alistair hired these people himself.“We are doomed this time. Two billion dollars of capital is gone!” Alistair was so mad.He had been in business for years, yet he was like an elementary student before Byron.His family only gave him two billion dollars to try his luck.If he failed, Cerelor Group in Coast City had to declare bankruptcy.Not only that, but there was also the pressure from those extended relatives of the family. After all, their money was also hard-earned.Alistair was in despair. “Byron! He set me up again and again. I'm so silly that I didn't consider the risk of doing business abroad.”He waved his hand and beckoned Douglas to leave.Before long, Beatrice knocked on the door yet heard no response. She opened the door and walked in.Seeing her brother’s gloomy face, Beatrice smiled and waved to the secretary outside, letting her come in to clean the shattered glass on the ground.Af
Two days later, Cerelor Group declared bankruptcy.The relocation of thousands of employees was carried out in order.Beatrice handed the compensation plan for employees to Andrea for implementation. She was following her brother back to the North.She could at least speak up for her brother. At least, her brother would not be pushed to a dead end.Andrea brought all the finance department staff and began to compensate the employees. Each person got two months of extra salary.Such compensation made the employees feel pity for losing such a good job.Getting paid an extra salary after being on the job only for a month was a kind act. The company even ensured that everyone’s resignment report clarified that the company was not doing well so that it would not affect the employee’s resume.That day was a busy day. Andrea only finished dealing with the matter at night.Andrea was worried about Alistair’s condition. She thought of calling him but gave up upon the thought that she co
