She also gave Silvia a fluffy and layered hairstyle so that she looked even more sexy and alluring when coupled with her makeup and clothes. After dressing her up, Sofia went to ask Ryan to come out, but stopped Milo from following them. She closed the door and walked in, then wrapped her arms around his waist to stop him, prodding his strong chest with her slender hand. “You don’t need to go out and admire someone else’s woman.”Milo had a deep look in his eyes. “It doesn’t matter even if I admire them. I think they’re all inferior to you.”Sofia smiled brightly. “Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.”As soon as Ryan came out, he saw Silvia standing there. She seemed like the most beautiful and captivating woman thanks to her flattering cosmetics and thick, deep eyeliner.Ryan had never seen Silvia like this before. In his memories, she had always had a clean, bright, and lovely appearance that had suddenly changed to one that was charming and enticing. His initial ass
But all he could do was leave it alone.She could expose her shoulders, then; after all, he believed that no one would dare to look at her more if he was there. Ryan insisted on picking out a couple of outfits for Silvia to wear daily, but she refused. However, Ryan insisted that he would buy them all as long as Sofia recommended them and said that they were suitable for Silvia. Naturally, he also picked out some clothes that he felt would look good on Silvia and bought them too.In the end, many bags of clothes filled the entire car trunk when they left.They were the last thing Silvia wanted. Why would she need to wear pricey branded clothing if she worked at a factory? It was also inconvenient because she frequently went to the workshop.After tossing around like this, it was time for the dinner banquet. The two drove straight to the hotel. The banquet was held at the hotel where the Browns were staying so it would be convenient for them to go downstairs to attend the banque
She believed that by pushing her to get better so rapidly, he was undermining her resolve to live independently and mocking her passion for her work.He kept saying he loved her, but when had he put himself in her shoes and considered her feelings? What would the hard effort she had put in over the previous month amount to if she actually accepted his invitation and joined Pierce Group?She simply retorted, “Ryan Pierce, you aren’t always in the right.”She then turned around and exited the car.Ryan did not intend to enrage her; he merely wanted to provide her with a pleasant working atmosphere.He got out of the car and pursued her before raising his hand to stop her. "Why are you so irate? You don't have to come if you don't want to."Silvia was unwilling to speak with him, however. She assumed he would not understand even if she explained why she was angry right now because he did not care to understand her at all.She felt disrespected by what he was doing, which was not at
He hung up the phone after that. All ambiguities would be cleared up when Julian joined them.Julian also wanted to emphasize that if Ryan did not make it clear who that woman was, he would not be attending the dinner banquet tonight.As a result, Ryan hung up the phone directly. Julian was irritated as he sped towards the hotel lobby after getting out of the car. He was interested in finding out which vixen could manage to hook up with Ryan so quickly.If he could, he would handle this vixen's situation on Silvia's behalf to ensure that she would never have a foothold in Detroit!"Ryan Pierce!" Julian yelled angrily as he hurried to the lobby.Julian's outburst shocked Silvia, who was standing close to Ryan. She quickly turned around to look at Julian.Julian was about to confront Ryan with an angry inquiry when he was startled by the woman's appearance.Upon taking a closer look, he spoke up in disbelief, “Silvia?”Julian was now feeling terribly ashamed. When he thought bac
“Weren’t you quite imposing on the phone just now? Why aren’t you saying anything now?”Being an articulate man, Julian laughed and added, "Ryan, you definitely picked up a treasure. In contrast to Silvia, who can look innocent and enticing at the same time, those women around me appear gorgeous, but one cannot even look at them if their makeup is off.Ryan's discontent increased when he overheard Julian comparing Silvia to the women around him.“Don’t compare her with those women around you!”He exhibited obvious disdain for those women around Julian. After that, he turned around, wrapped Silvia in his arms, and dragged her into the allocated private room. Julian yelled angrily behind him, “Ryan Pierce, I might as well call you a wife protector in the future!”He was obviously complimenting Silvia on how beautiful she looked even without makeup, but Ryan clearly did not like it and even ridiculed his sense of aesthetics!…That evening, a grand welcome meal with a sizable cro
The dinner feast was quite entertaining, and many of the senior executives from Pierce Group in attendance kept glancing over at Silvia, who was sitting next to Ryan, in an effort to get a better look at the boss's wife. They did not, however, have the courage to look again after coming face to face with Ryan's icy glare.A senior executive seated next to Julian was somewhat intoxicated after three rounds of drinking. He suddenly recalled Ryan's forced creation of the Foreign Trade Department earlier that day. He made the decision to ask Julian to learn the reason behind such a decision“Mr. Maton, you’re Mr. Ryan’s good buddy, so I wonder if you know why Mr. Ryan wants to set up a Foreign Trade Department? Could it be that the two of you have recently negotiated a good trade business?”The senior executives talked about Ryan's plans for creating the Foreign Trade Department after he left in the morning. After much consideration, they came to the conclusion that because Ryan had n
She wondered if they should stay here, or if she should drag him home forcefully.The Browns were here, so they would undoubtedly have to share a room if they stayed over. That would be too ambiguous, and it would also be quite a hassle for her if he puked on the way.She hesitated a moment before Julian interrupted her, saying, “I’m going to book a room for you. I’ll help you to move him up to the room while I’m still here.”Julian left before Silvia could refuse.In desperation, Silvia helped the man who was leaning against her to a sofa close to the banquet hall where guests might relax. She placed him on the couch, made her outfit look presentable, and took many deep breaths.She was afraid that she would be suffocated if he continued clinging to her because his mouth was kissing her shoulder. She felt like the air around her had become rather thin.After putting him on the sofa, he was half leaning against the back of the sofa as he looked up at her with a pair of black eyes
“Take it easy!”After saying that, he wanted to laugh aloud but was unable to do so since Silvia would hear him. How could Julian, as a guy, not comprehend Ryan's suffering?Ryan was so angry at Julian that he truly wanted to punch him. Although Julian was evidently aware of his pain, he continued to torment him by saying such things.In the end, all he could do was clench his teeth and say to Julian, "Shut up!"Julian assisted Silvia in bringing Ryan back to their room. After he dumped the inebriated Ryan onto the large bed, he quickly left. He didn't want to keep them waiting.After Julian left, Silvia looked at Ryan, who seemed to have fallen asleep as he lay on the bed. She let out a sigh and moved closer to assist him in taking off his shoes and tie.Her fingers carelessly brushed against the man’s Adam’s apple, causing him to move impatiently. After pulling his tie out, she unbuttoned a few of his buttons so he would not feel uncomfortable as he slept. Then, in order to m
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
