Mr. Alberich was afraid that Silvia would get angry so he hurriedly explained again, “Don’t worry, I hit him with scallions so he definitely won’t be hurt.”Silvia raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. It was not a question of whether Ryan was hurt or not, but her father’s behavior was really too… too childish!But Silvia really could not get angry anymore when she looked at her father’s nervous expression, where he seemed so afraid that Silvia would be mad at him.Mrs. Alberich comforted her from the side. “I’ve already reprimanded him for a long time just now. He should know what to do when he sees Ryan Pierce again in the future. Go and wash your hands, and prepare to eat dinner. You should also unpack the suitcase.”“Mm.”Silvia glanced at the suitcase and pushed it back into the room.Mr. Alberich glanced at her and muttered softly, “I’ll be rude to him if we meet again in the future.”Mrs. Alberich was furious. “Do whatever you like. When the time comes and he reports y
She felt that he was simply being unreasonable!She still felt bad for him at first because her father hit him with the scallions, but she felt that he deserved it now!As soon as Ryan drove out of Silvia’s neighborhood, he stopped the car because of the smell of scallions on his clothes. He took off his coat and threw it on the back seat angrily, then stopped driving and started smoking a cigarette alone.He did not get to see her the last time, and he did not see her again this time. If he did the math carefully, he had not seen her for almost a week now from the day he stopped her at the airport, which was almost equivalent to the number of days they did not see each other when he’d gone on long business trips in the past. Why did he feel so awkward?He happened to finish smoking the pack of cigarettes that he carried on him, so he raised his hand to get the cigarettes from the glove compartment. Instead, he found the divorce certificate. He had been keeping the divorce ce
Back then, the lecturer also said that they should get into mechanics if they wanted to engage in trade. There were not many processes, the trade was not diversified, and the processes were even simpler for large machinery. Therefore, Silvia preferred the machinery factory out of these two factories.However, this was just her personal preference. She decided to attend the interview for both factories. After all, she had no right to choose in such a situation and could only wait to be chosen. If the garment factory chose to hire her, she would accept the offer.She simply needed a job quickly and could not afford to pick and choose. The interview at the machinery factory was scheduled for Friday morning, but the interview for the garment factory was scheduled for Saturday morning. The person in charge of contacting her said that the factory manager would be going abroad to participate in a trade fair next week and would not be back for a month or so. As a result, the manager co
Ryan frowned. “What do you mean? Shouldn’t she be the one visiting the child today?”The driver smiled. “I’m not sure about that.”He was just following orders. Ryan turned around and entered the building. The more he thought about it, the angrier he was. That woman was really shameless. She actually expected the driver to send their daughter there when it was time for her to visit their daughter?How could she have such pleasant dreams?As soon as he got out of the elevator where Nora’s house was, he saw his mother, Ophelia, opening the door and leading his daughter, who was fully dressed and seemed extremely excited, to go out.He was very displeased and stopped them.“Why isn’t her mother coming today?”The little girl took the initiative to explain to him, “Mama said last night that she has a job interview in the morning, so Grandma said to ask the driver to send me there instead so I can see Grandma and Grandpa too.”A job interview? This word sounded incomparably
Ryan stopped them again.“Can you rest assured by handing the child over to the driver on such a long journey?”“What’s there to worry about? Our family has been using this driver for many years, and I specially called a driver who drives steadily—"Ophelia instantly understood her son’s intention upon saying this and felt very helpless. She decided to fulfill her son’s wish. “It’s the weekend, I suppose. If you’re free, it’d be best if you can drive and send Autumn there yourself, then.”The little girl also instantly cocked her small face to invite him as she said, “Papa, do you have time? I hope that you can drive me there so we can talk on the way. I have nothing to say to the driver, so the journey will be very boring!”Ryan eventually drove their daughter, Autumn, to Silvia’s house. The driver, who had been recruited early in the morning, was sent back by Ophelia. …Silvia went to the garment factory early in the morning to wait for her interview. While she was waiting
“Good luck with your interview.”Silvia was so angry that she hung up the phone directly. The tone of his voice was clearly mocking her, mocking her for going out of her way to find a job.Therefore, she had to try her best during the interview later. She had to do her best to grab this job opportunity and use her own ability to shut his mouth!She had already decided to give up on the job at the machinery factory where she’d been interviewed in the morning yesterday—she felt that the factory manager was too wretched. He kept staring at her chest during the interview and also asked her questions that were completely irrelevant and unrelated to the interview. As she wrote that she was divorced and had little work experience, the manager kept asking her why she wanted a divorce.He also kept hinting that he was interested in him and that as a divorced single woman, it would be better for her to find a rich and powerful man that she could rely on.Silvia was so angry that she almos
The other people who were done with their interviews gathered in twos or threes to discuss amongst themselves. Silvia wanted to join in the discussion too, but as soon as she was about to speak, her cell phone rang again.When she saw that it was a phone call from Ryan again, she instinctively hung up.After the unhappy phone call just now, she did not want to talk to him at all. She had nothing to say to him.As a result, after she hung up the phone, he sent another text message: “Send me the address of the factory where you are interviewing.”Silvia suddenly had a bad premonition when she saw his text message. Could it be that he was personally sending their daughter here? As she thought of this, she hurriedly called him back and he answered the phone quickly. She prayed that it would not be the answer that she was thinking of. “Why are you asking for the address where I’m interviewing at?”“Autumn said that she wants to see you as soon as possible.”“…”It was really hi
Silvia was very nervous. She thought that even if she was not offered the job position this time, she wanted the opportunity to go for the second interview at least so that she could gain some confidence and she would not lack confidence when she continued looking for a job later. Fortunately, her name finally appeared on the list of candidates for the second interview. She said excitedly to herself many times, “Silvia, you can do it! Silvia, you can do it!” The remaining few of them went through a second interview one by one. This time, they were mainly asked questions about their salary expectations and other issues that were most relevant to the actual situation. Silvia told them everything honestly and truthfully. After the second round of interviews, the trade department manager discussed the results with the manager again and asked them to go out and wait. While waiting, she received another text message from Ryan: “We are here. Where are you?” Silvia was nervously wait
Evelyn was worried about this, but Rowan did not take it seriously as he said, “This small amount of snow is nothing.”Evelyn was extremely worried. The temperature was so low now, so the road must be icy. The snow was too heavy and would block his sight. Evelyn did not want him to be in any danger, so she suggested in a low voice, “It’s better if you don’t go back.”Rowan looked at her in surprise and smiled as he asked, “Where will I stay if I don’t go back? Do you want me to stay in the car all night?”Evelyn shook her head and said, “Y-You can go home with me.”She had just taken the initiative to invite a man to spend the night at her home. It was truly embarrassing for a shy girl like Evelyn to say these words, but she was willing to do so for his safety.“My mother should be asleep now, and she wakes up later in the morning. We can just leave before she wakes up in the morning.”She explained with a red face, “Don’t misunderstand me. I just don’t want you to be in danger o
She held her cell phone and said hurriedly, “I’ll go down right now.”She ended the call and hurriedly put on her down jacket. She was wearing warm and soft polar fleece home clothes. She did not have time to change, so she simply put on a down jacket and went out. She opened the door and walked out stealthily, out of fear that she would wake Helena up, and Helena would find out that she was going down to meet Rowan in the middle of the night. Helena would surely think that this kind of behavior was inappropriate. When passing by the living room, Evelyn glanced in the direction of Helena’s bedroom. The lights had been turned off, so she was probably asleep. Helena’s physical condition was not as good as it was before the surgery. After all, she was getting older and had undergone craniotomy, which was a major surgery, so she could not keep up mentally and physically. She would go to bed very early at night and wake up late in the morning.After Evelyn left the house quietly, sh
Cassie’s expression turned ugly when she heard Helena’s words. She was shocked and humiliated as she asked in disbelief, “Is it Rowan Pierce?”Cassie knew that it was the Pierces and Matons who were maliciously targeting the Sullivans. Julian and Nora had just gotten married, and it was said that Julian loved Nora very much, so it could not be Julian.As the person in charge of the Pierces, Ryan was a married man as well, and the couple usually kept a low profile and rarely displayed their affection. However, Cassie heard that Ryan’s wife had just given birth to a son, and it was widely known that Ryan was a family man now.Rowan was the only single man, so could it be Rowan?Cassie recalled the scene when she saw Rowan shopping with them in the mall that day. At the time, she wondered why Rowan would be willing to go shopping with them, but now, it seemed that he was there for Evelyn’s sake. Cassie was so stunned when she thought of this that she felt like she would choke on a m
In the end, Natalie was pushed to a dead end and had no choice but to hold a press conference in a hurry. During the press conference, she cried and apologized for the plagiarism and the fact that she had looked for someone to draw a design for her, and announced that she would be quitting the design world.However, few people accepted her apology or showed sympathy for her even though she apologized and admitted her mistakes. The general public opinion was still scolding her in various ways, so Barry simply drove Natalie home and asked her to stay at home to avoid the limelight. One night after Natalie’s incident, Evelyn was accompanying Helena on a stroll in the neighborhood when they ran into Cassie.Natalie’s life had been completely gloomy and dark in the past few days, but Evelyn’s life was stable and practical.Rowan insisted on picked her up from work every morning. If Rowan was at the company at noon, the two would have lunch together. Considering that Helena would be at
Natalie never expected that Rowan would play these dirty tricks behind her back. She did not know that Rowan was best at these tricks. She had cried and begged Barry to plead for mercy on her behalf, but when Barry came back, he told her that there was no room for redemption. She was desperate and was filled with hatred and resentment. Over the years, she had tried every means possible to trample all over Evelyn, but in the end, she was the one who suffered the most and could not turn her life around. Natalie clenched her teeth angrily in hatred as she dug her nails into her palms and tried to calm her emotions. So what if her career in design was ruined? She never truly liked this industry anyway. She had only learned it at the beginning in order to crush Evelyn. She could still do other things even if she did not do design, right? There were so many different industries in this world, so she did not have to make a living in jewelry design. Besides, she was a Stewart, so s
She laughed loudly when she was happy, shed tears when she was sad, never hid her true self, and was a frank and sincere person. Why wouldn’t men like such a girl?Rowan laughed. He did not mean to slander Selena; he was simply analyzing Selena’s current situation from his perspective as a man. Selena might indeed be a good girl in Evelyn’s eyes. After all, Evelyn was a woman who only cared about Selena’s personality, but men paid more attention to a woman’s temperament and charm sometimes. Everyone naturally had their own preferences. For example, Rowan preferred someone simple like Evelyn, whereas some men might prefer someone with a stronger personality like Selena. Evelyn had to call Charles after she could not reach Selena. “Charles, is Selena home? I can’t seem to reach her on her cell phone.”Charles frowned when he heard Evelyn’s words. “She’s not back yet. You can’t reach her on her cell phone?”“I can’t. I tried calling her several times, but her cell phone is switch
He was wrong. He was really wrong. He treated the person he wanted to protect so coldly and harshly. It seemed that he had not been in a relationship for too long that he had forgotten how to love. Fortunately, it only took him this once to understand the crux of his problem. Therefore, he stroked her cheek gently and reassured her in a deep voice, “It won’t happen again.”Evelyn chose to smile slightly in relief in response to his apology and assurance.When two people are together, they need to understand and accommodate each other in terms of personality, temperament, and living habits. Since they had only officially been together for a day, this was even more essential for them. As he said, he was an ordinary man, and she was an ordinary woman. Their relationship was that of an ordinary couple, so it was normal for them to quarrel, have disagreements, and lose their temper. Evelyn felt that there was nothing that could not be solved as long as it did not involve principles
“Getting dinner!” Rowan announced angrily, then he placed her in the passenger seat, got into the car, and drove away. Evelyn had no other objections since they were going to eat. Anyway, she had already called Helena earlier to tell her that she would not be going back for dinner tonight as she would be having dinner with Selena. Not long after the two had gotten into the car and driven out, Selena called and asked Evelyn worriedly, “Evelyn, how did it go? Did you manage to coax him yet?”As Rowan was sitting next to her, Evelyn could not answer whether she had managed to coax him. Therefore, she hesitated without saying anything.When Selena heard this, she knew that they must not have reconciled yet, so she gave her advice on the other end of the line. “It’s fine. There’s no man that can’t be coaxed. Just one kiss will do. If he still can’t be coaxed, give him two kisses. If that doesn’t work, just kiss him all over until he’s no longer angry!”Selena’s voice was loud enough,
Selena’s tone was full of annoyance as she said, “I initially thought of giving Evelyn a surprise, but it turned out to be a shock!”Selena had good intentions as well; she just wanted to introduce the most handsome, stylish, and reliable man that she knew to Evelyn, but it turned out to be self-defeating. As for Shane, who was to be introduced to Evelyn, he simply stood there leisurely the whole time, looking at the three of them as if he was watching a good show. He watched as they got jealous, explained themselves, and felt depressed. Even though both Evelyn and Selena had explained the whole story entirely, Rowan still felt angry and annoyed.After glaring angrily at Evelyn, he simply turned around and walked away.Evelyn and Selena could only exchange glances as they were at a loss for what to do.In the end, Evelyn said to Selena helplessly, “I’ll go and see how he’s doing. You two can enjoy dinner together. I’m sorry.”Evelyn chose to pay attention to Rowan this time an
