The finance director wiped the cold sweat off his brow. He was prepared to face Damon’s interrogation.However, Damon’s expression simply turned even colder. “An intern?”“Y-yes… Don’t worry, sir. I’ll fire the intern who made that mistake at once!”“Alright, you should pack up your things too, while you’re at it, and leave with the intern.”The finance director lifted his head in shock. His face filled with disbelief.Even though the finance department had indeed made a mistake, it had bee
However, the big truck did not seem like it was going to stop at all as it continued moving forward.The driver was caught off guard and could not help cursing, "Godd*mn it, what the hell is going on?”Fortunately, it did not cause any accidents.When Damon saw Jeanette's frightened, pale face, he consoled her and said, "It's okay. It’s just an accident.""It's not an accident," Jeanette said suddenly. "I just saw the driver of the big truck. She looked very much like Madison."Jeanette had
When the guests saw this, they all admired the second son of the Godfrey family for his dashing looks. He was also young and intelligent, so the guests could not stop complimenting him.Damon was standing by their side, but he was left out in the cold.Today, he had brought Jeanette to the old Godfrey mansion to celebrate his father's birthday. The moment Sylvia had seen Jeanette, she started giving her attitude, and the atmosphere suddenly got very awkward.It wasn't until Xavier entered the
Jeanette hurriedly hid to the side as she spoke to Xavier. "Stop spewing nonsense and making a fool of me!""How is this spewing nonsense? Of all the girls I know, you’re the prettiest."Xavier was obviously saying that on purpose. He even stretched out his hand and grabbed Jeanette's shoulder.She was so anxious and wanted to shrug him away that she used too much strength, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the side.Damon happened to walk in front of her and held her with one hand
As a father, Christophe naturally had to be humble and say something. "Don't mention it, it’s just luck.""If it’s luck, it’s obviously good luck. They’re both so capable even after what happened to them when they were young. They must be blessed by their ancestors."Upon hearing this, Christophe suddenly felt a little embarrassed and glanced at his two sons subconsciously.Damon's face darkened, and even Xavier, who had been smiling the whole time, seemed a little uncomfortable at that momen
Jeanette followed him into the bar. Damon was obviously a regular here because even the lobby manager recognized him and respectfully greeted him as "Mr. Godfrey".Damon ordered two glasses of wine, and the waitress who served the wine was stunningly beautiful. She bent over seductively, her voice soft and charming. "Mr. Godfrey, you haven't been here for a long time."Damon stretched out his finger and motioned her to go away and leave."Is this where you always come when you don’t go home?"
It was because he felt that Damon had put him in danger by leaving him alone in the park. Xavier even believed that his brother did not like him and did not want him as a younger brother, so he had gotten someone to kidnap him on purpose.The barrier between the brothers could never be fixed.After listening to Damon's story, Jeanette was very surprised. She had never heard about it before.She had always been curious about the reason behind Damon's ill relationship with Xavier. She had inqui
Damon sneered. "Didn't he mention it already? He thought I wanted him to be kidnapped on purpose because I wanted to be the only son in the family, and I didn’t have to fight anyone for our family fortune. That was why he wanted to take revenge against me."Jeanette could not help feeling puzzled. "What logic is that?"Who cared about logic? When Damon recalled what Xavier had been doing since he was a child, he thought they were ridiculous.When Xavier was a child, he would purposely put coc
…In jail, Xavier stared at Jeanette’s face through a layer of glass. His expression was filled with hatred.Jeanette stared at him and took a deep breath. Then, she picked up the phone.“How’ve you been?”Xavier smirked. “Since my own brother has decided to send me to jail, why has he asked you to come all the way here? To insult me? You really are a match made in heaven.”Jeanette sighed. Actually, Xavier was a very smart man, on par with Damon. Besides, when she had first joined the Godf
In the car, Mimi turned to look at Zeke, who was next to her. For a moment there, she had no idea what to say to him.They had pretty much silently admitted to the media’s claims over their engagement. Over the past few days, Zeke had been making preparations for their engagement party. She had been the one to suggest getting married, but now she was beginning to feel cold feet. She wasn’t sure if she was ready to spend the rest of her life with Zeke.Zeke seemed to be in a good mood. He had
“Damon Godfrey! It was you, wasn’t it? How could you do this to me?” His expression was ruthless. His eyes were filled with a terrifying expression, unlike ever before. He looked like a wild animal that had been suppressing its urges for a very long time.Jeanette had never seen such a terrifying look on Xavier’s face before. She paused in fright as she stared at Xavier from afar.Damon seemed perfectly calm. “You brought this on yourself, Xavier. I know what you’ve done. It’s just that I neve
“You’re overthinking it!” Elias slapped her hand away.Vanessa laughed bitterly. “Oh, I wish I was, Elias. But the facts prove that you’re in love with Mimi Norton. You’re in love with your best friend’s fiancee!”“That has nothing to do with you!” Elias was like a cat who had his tail trampled on. He was tense. He had grown increasingly annoyed now that the heart of the matter had been prodded at.“Nothing to do with me? Elias, do you really think that I was only in love with your position?
Damon reached out and held her wrist. “You don’t believe me? Then come with me.”Jeanette smacked his hand away, looking very stern. “What are you planning? I’m not leaving with you.”Felix suddenly emerged from his room, holding a teddy bear, just as the pair were in the midst of conflict. He widened his large, limpid eyes and looked at Damon at the doorway. His expression filled with immense joy.“Daddy!” The little boy smiled and happily rushed to wrap his arms around Damon’s waist. “Daddy, are you here to take Mommy and me home?”Damon smiled and gazed at his clever son, a god-send, and spoke in a gentle voice. “Of course. Would you like to come home with Daddy?”“Yes!” The little boy’s voice was clear. Then, he carefully turned to Jeanette. “Mommy…”Jeanette frowned. Her heart was a mess. Felix missed his home. He was such a small child and had been forced to endure the conflict between her and Damon. He must have suffered. However, she couldn’t go home with Damon like this.
Jeanette was standing in the kitchen, staring dazedly at the pot of burnt potatoes, looking exasperated.‘I’m such an idiot! I’ve actually managed to burn potatoes… by boiling them. This is completely unheard of! It’s all my fault for being so careless. I left the potatoes to boil and ran off to do something else. I was so busy that I completely forgot about them, until two minutes ago, when I smelled the burnt potatoes. Then I remembered that mine and Felix’s dinner was in that pot. All of the water had actually evaporated!’Jeanette felt a massive headache as she stared at the blackened potatoes stuck to the pot. This was the only food they had at home. Now that the potatoes were ruined, she had no other choice except to take Felix out for food.She scratched her head in exasperation. Felix appeared from behind her, hugging the teddy bear she had just bought for him, and walked into the kitchen. He lifted his chubby, naively little face and stared pitifully up at Jeanette.“Mommy
In a restaurant, the surrounding atmosphere was illuminated by a gentle, dim light, which made it all feel warm and comfortable. Mimi stared at Zeke, who was seated in front of her. She looked hesitant and nervous. She released two soft coughs, unable to say the words she wanted to say.‘Get engaged…’These words felt very distant to her. She did believe that Zeke was the kind of man she could spend the rest of her life with, but to prepare herself for marriage with him in such a short period… She couldn’t bring herself to accept it. After all, she and Zeke had only been dating for a very short time. Unfortunately, Vanessa’s threat had rendered it impossible for her to avoid the subject. Upon careful consideration, it made sense. Since she was going to be with Zeke, why would the time of marriage make any difference?Perhaps it was time for her to truly accept this relationship and start a new life.She took a deep breath and looked at Zeke, who sat in front of her, then swallowe
“Father, even if he is my brother, he should be responsible for his crimes. We live in a civilized society. Besides, he’s worked with an outsider in a plot against our company. You know this. The company wouldn’t have been reduced to this mess if it weren’t for him. Father, your constant shelter and indulgence has caused him to make so many mistakes! If you continue spoiling Xavier, he’ll resort to something even more terrifying in the future,” Damon said with a frown.Christophe smirked in his rage. “Damon, has your search for power driven you mad? How could you be so cruel to your own brother? It’s not like you’re unaware of why I’ve been so indulgent toward him. Xavier has never been of sound mind from a young age. Are you worried that I’d leave the Godfrey Group to him? That he would take everything that belongs to you?”Damon was taken aback. He chuckled bitterly and exasperatedly. “Father, do you really think that that’s what I think? Would you really be bold enough to leave th
The car drove along the road. The driver, a woman, dressed in black wearing a baseball cap, slowly spoke. “What did you say to her?”Vanessa pursed her lips, looking particularly relaxed. “I told her to get engaged with Zeke within a week.”The sound of the car coming to a screeching halt filled the air. The car stopped in the middle of the road, just like that, forcing a row of cars behind them to stop as well. The driver widened her eyes. Her expression was full of rage. “I thought we agreed to expose her affair with Elias? It was a great opportunity for us to ruin her, and you just gave it up?”Vanessa shrugged, looking unperturbed. “Why would I want to ruin her?”“I thought you hated her? Don’t tell me you’re going soft!”The woman frowned. Her expression was filled with anger as if she resented her for not doing any better.She had been planning for so long, coming up with all sorts of schemes to find someone who hated Mimi just as much as she did. However, who would have th
