"Come in," said Nicholas flatly. "You must be tired from what happened earlier." Josephine turned her head and looked at Nicholas. "Can I ask something?" she asked. "Hmm." "Why did you help me earlier? You could have left earlier and not interfered because it was my family's business." Nicholas's brow furrowed. "Are you senile?" Josephine was confused by Nicholas's words. "What dou you mean?" "You told me yourself that you wanted a brother and sister relationship with me. Then, as an older brother, is it appropriate for me to allow my sister to be abused?" Josephine was stunned, not at all expecting Nicholas to answer like that.After Josephine came home, she found that Rain was sitting on the sofa and typing something on the laptop. Josephine walked over to Rain, who quickly turned off the screen.Rain, what are you doing? she asked. "Was it something important?" "I was working on a project for a school assignment with my friend, and it was quite a mess. I don't want you to get confu
In Jade’s mansion, Lindsay stared at the computer screen, a hacker called Darius she hired to work for her sat in front the computer.They were going to release those fake pictures about Josephine."Do you think these photos are good enough?" asked Darius while showing some of the photos he made at Lindsay's request.He mastered the Photoshop program well and is considered a fairly experienced hacker. His rates are not cheap, but he guarantees client satisfaction with his work.Lindsay looked through all the photos shown by Darius with satisfaction. "Wow, these are great photos, Darius. You make them really look real."Darius pointed at a photo, showing Josephine sitting on a man's lap. "Did you see who this man is?" asked Darius.Lindsay studied the photo and shook her head. "Who's he?""This is a composite character between Robert Pattinson, Lee Minho, and Charlie Puth.""What? Wow!" Lindsay exclaimed in awe. "You're great.""Okay, I will post these photos one by one, so there is no
"Win, clear up all the documents for the acquisition of Jade property as soon as possible. I want us to do it in the near future," said Nicholas while loosening his tie."Jade property, boss? Didn't you say you weren't too interested because from a business standpoint the benefits might not be that significant?" said Win while stopping typing. "After all, they also probably thought we weren't interested and thus weren't prepared."Nicholas snorted sarcastically. "I don't care. Just process everything!"Nicholas couldn't forget last night, when Josephine had a fight with Thomas. Previously he had thought that the relationship between Josephine and the Jade family was only torn apart due to differences of opinion or simple misunderstandings.He also sometimes fights with Carlos or his cousins and nephews because of differences of opinion, with his father as well.However, seeing the blazing anger in Josephine's eyes and the hatred in Thomas' eyes, then listening to the topics discussed
Nicholas had just finished inspecting the Sparrow Clinic, discussed several matters with the higher-ups, and resolved some of the problems that had occurred in a small meeting.Right after he sat behind the wheel of his car, he saw the arrival of Thomas, Lindsay, and one other woman who he immediately concluded was Melisa--Thomas's wife.An unpleasant feeling overwhelmed Nicholas and he followed them into the lobby, then his eyes caught the figure of Josephine, who seemed to be preparing to leave.Lindsay confronted Josephine and it was later determined that the three had an altercation with Josephine.Nicholas had to desperately hold himself back so he wouldn't get out of the car and attack Thomas, Melisa, and Lindsay. He was sure that if he did, Josephine would be angry with him.Nicholas didn't understand how people could be as patient as Josephine, continuing to let those people pressure and bully her."Little sister," muttered Josephine half laughing. "What are you doing here?""
Josephine didn't notice everyone's eyes and comments because she was excited."Nicholas, this is really cool," Josephine whispered, bringing her lips close to Nicholas' ear, because the music might keep Nicholas from hearing her voice.Nicholas smirked. He tightened his hold on Josephine's waist. "You like in here?""Hm. It's not too noisy and the lights don't flicker too fast and make you dizzy.""What would you like to drink? I'll order it for you.""No need, Nicholas, I'll order it myself later.""Then let's head over there. I've already made reservations. Compartment 12A."Nicholas pointed to the right corner of the bar, to an exclusive corner where there were large, soundproofed, special compartments.Nicholas walked behind Josephine because he saw the eyes of another man looking at Josephine with great curiosity and interest.Josephine pushed open the door of the compartment Nicholas pointed out to her and found that the people sitting inside were serious and wearing full suits.
Renee is the daughter of a large supermarket manager and her mother owns an online cosmetics store. She lives well, but with four younger siblings and Renee's desire to own nice, expensive, branded things, she always feels poor. When she entered high school, Renee began to approach Lindsay, because she was royal and easy to please. As long as you want to obey his orders and are good at compliments, then Lindsay will not hesitate to spend the money. Renee's father's convenience store was always busy and stealing a bag or two of chips, a can or two of soft drinks, and then escalating to a pack of cigarettes, did not bankrupt his father. On the other hand, Renee became Lindsay's closest person, who was always ready to do anything Lindsay asked her to do. Because of this, Renee's room and closet began to fill with things she liked, even if they were Lindsay's second-hand items on occasion.Renee was eyeing the pearl-studded bag that Lindsay wore to a label's award ceremony a while ago and
Renee was deathly pale. Nicholas is very scary. He uttered every word in an icy tone that hurt everyone's ears and the look in his eyes was piercing.Friends around Renee trembled and lowered their heads, even Krist--the bartender, was shocked to death. He quickly resumed his task of recording the identities of everyone who had surrounded Josephine and been harassing her.Renee took two steps back and forced herself to challenge Nicholas. The bag she wanted from Lindsay was more enticing and made her dare to do anything to face anything."What I do is none of your business, sir," Renee said in a trembling voice. "That's my business with Josephine!"Renee's friend next to her was shocked. She knew who Nicholas was and she knew better that it would be foolish to oppose Nicholas.Nicholas stared at Renee with narrowed eyes. He snorted sarcastically and turned to Krist.Just then, Renee's friend nudged her arm. "Renee, stop fighting him! He's not some random person you can just fight. You
Lindsay is upset. She was considering whether to contact Lucas or not. She has posted a video where she falls due to being pushed by Josephine and has also posted a video where she is wincing in pain while showing the camera her bruises. Actually she and her mother reenacted the scene, when Thomas went to the bathroom after Josephine left. Melissa's hand pushed and made Lindsay fall to the floor, but it was not visible on the camera because the shooting angle had been arranged in such a way. Then, Melissa makes bruises on Lindsay's legs and arms using foundation and eye shadow. After she posted that scene on her insta story, all of Lindsay's friends were texting her, asking what had happened to her, but there were no messages from Lucas, the person Lindsay had hoped for the most.Just then came a message from Renee. Her friend sent her the video she recorded since Nicholas was detained by Lucas at the exit of the Blue Moon bar. Lindsay watched the video and instantly her blood b
