Madison's funeral was scheduled for the weekend in two days.She had not died an honorable death. Thus, after retrieving her body from the police, they cremated her in a very discreet manner. Her funeral was also extremely desolate.Except for a few relatives that were close to the Leighton family, almost no one attended to express their condolences.Juliana was bawling and even passed out in the funeral home twice. In the end, she was carried into an ambulance, leaving only Magnus holding hi
She would never look back again.In the courtyard outside, Jeanette's stepmother, Juliana, had just received an IV drip in the hospital and was struggling to get home to send her daughter off personally.They happened to run into each other.Juliana was so weak that she could not even walk properly like before, but somehow, she suddenly had the strength to charge forward and grab Jeanette's neck."You have the nerve to come here? What right do you have to come here? Jeanette Leighton, go to
Magnus seemed extremely upset. "What do you mean?""Mrs. Leighton hurt my wife. I was going to let it go for your sake since you’re my father-in-law, but you wanted to hit her for no reason at all. That’s really unreasonable. Since that’s the case, I want to have a talk with you.""Damon Godfrey! This is my family’s affair, and I’m teaching my daughter a lesson. You’re from the Godfrey family, so you’d better stay out of it!" Magnus' tone was stern.Madison had kidnapped Damon, so the Leighto
At that moment, Mimi suddenly let out a cold snort.Jeanette was stunned and stopped in her tracks subconsciously.Everyone’s eyes fell on them, and some of them started talking among themselves."You really like copying me. Last time, it was a bag, and now, it’s a silk scarf. Jeanette, are you a copycat?" Mimi said coldly.Only then did Jeanette notice that the silk scarf around her neck was the same as the one Mimi wore today. Even the color and pattern were exactly identical.It was inde
Damon had no choice—Elias had saved Jeanette's life after all. Elias watched with interest as Damon opened the cake box for him under his command. He then smiled. "Mr. Godfrey is pretty meticulous in taking care of patients." "Can I go now?""Come on, you’ve come all the way here. Why don't you sit down and have some tea?"Damon looked around, and except for medical equipment, there were no teacups or tea leaves whatsoever.Elias was eating the cake with relish all by himself. His shamele
"You can do it tomorrow.""No way. Mimi will be here tomorrow morning, and I’m afraid it may be too late.""Leave it to someone else then."She had no choice but to laugh. "You said that the Godfrey Group would never keep slackers, but now you, the CEO himself, are ordering your employee not to finish her work. What’s this about?"Since Jeanette insisted on finishing the work before returning home, Damon had no choice but to move a chair and sit down next to her.She hurriedly continued to
Mimi’s new product endorsement advertisement for the first quarter of the year was filmed immediately after the contract was renewed.Because of Jeanette’s previous experience of working in an advertising company, the docking work between the secretary office and the celebrity had naturally become hers.However, she could only sigh silently. It was an easy job for others, but she was very reluctant about it.Sure enough, on the first day on the set, Mimi tried to find faults with her in every
It was rare for Jeanette to have the guts to do this, and she straightened her back subconsciously.When Mimi noticed so many people looking at her, she felt extremely embarrassed.After all, she was a female celebrity, and if there were any rumors about her acting like a diva during a shoot, it would be detrimental to her image.She was stuck between a rock and a hard place for a while.Jeanette walked in front of her and forced her into the changing room."What are you doing? Let me go!"
…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
