"Damon, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Jeanette struggled with all her might.Damon restrained her arms and held her down like an iron-clad wall so that she would not be able to break free.Jeanette took a deep breath, and just as she opened her mouth and was about to tell Damon off, her body was in mid-air.Damon threw her on the sofa, and immediately after Jeanette landed on the sofa, she quickly grabbed a pillow and placed it in front of her body to protect herself.However, Damon was facing her, glancing at her indifferently. He then turned around and went upstairs."Huh?" Jeanette was taken aback.The reason he had suddenly carried her was to just carry her to the sofa? Was it that plain and simple?Damon Orion Godfrey, what game was he trying to play today!?After Damon went upstairs, he never came down again. Jeanette's mind was all jumbled up as she watched TV in the middle of the night absently. She was in a constant state of excitement and was not sleepy at all.
The caller ID on the phone screen was Elias! It was so early in the morning, why did he call?Jeanette rejected the call coldly and crawled back into the blanket to go back to sleep. She could feel warmth from the hand that was on her waist. She was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered what had happened last night.Damon had slept through the night holding her. Jeanette could feel a warm, tingling surge through her heart, and she could not help but curl her lips. She turned over carefully to look at Damon’s sleeping face quietly.However, her phone started ringing again. Damon was still sound asleep, but he frowned. It looked like he was about to wake up.Jeanette hurriedly tapped on the mute button of her cell phone and moved lightly. She got out of bed and went to the balcony to answer the phone. Jeanette asked him angrily, “Elias Burnham, what do you want?” Elias sounded aggrieved as he replied, “What do I want? Didn’t you agree to buy me dinner? It happened to
Jeanette pushed him away with all her might and grabbed her cell phone. “What affair? I didn’t cheat on you! He’s just a friend!”Damon sneered mockingly. “Hah, a friend. Your so-called friend.”Jeanette’s face turned pale, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart. “Damon, in your eyes, am I really that immoral?”Damon responded without hesitation by asking, “Are you not?Jeanette closed her eyes tightly and retorted, “Damon, you’re being unreasonable! Get out! I don’t want to fight with you now.”“Jeanette Leighton, this is my house, so you should be the one to get out instead!” Damon had never shown her mercy.Jeanette endured the pain in her eyes and nodded. “Yes! I should be the one to get out.”She walked past him, opened the closet to pull out a suitcase, started grabbing her clothes, and stuffed them into her suitcase one after another. She had had enough of this cold home.Damon was still standing at the balcony, his head facing the side as he stared at Jeanette. His dark
Damon was already gone. Based on how arrogant Madison looked, Damon must have allowed it. Otherwise, how would she move in so brazenly? However, this was still her and Damon’s home. When Jeanette was still in a daze, Madison pushed her away and walked straight into her bedroom. "Madison, what are you doing?" "This bedroom will be mine from today onwards," she replied. When Jeanette heard Madison's provocative tone, she took a deep breath and said, "Get out of here." "My dear sister, in
Damon silently sneered. Since that woman valued sisterhood that much, he obviously could not let her down. "Damon, stay here tonight. Accompany the child and me, will you?" Madison gently leaned her head against his chest.Damon did not move away. Instead, he raised his hand and grabbed her waist. "Okay, I’ll stay." Madison was surprised and delighted. She stood on tiptoe as she tried to give him a peck on his face, but he turned his face calmly and pushed her onto the bed. The bedroom do
"What are you doing?" Jeanette was taken aback by the sudden evil look in his eyes.Damon’s eyes were already as cold as a glacier, but they were now filled with fiery rage as well.Jeanette was puzzled as she wondered what had made him angry again.She had had enough of his mood swings in the past two years and never once understood why he was angry.They were at a standstill for one minute… Two minutes…Finally, Damon let go of her hand. "I’ll pick you up after work tonight," he said."H
Damon could vaguely tell that something was going to happen but couldn't figure out his father's intention."Miss Parker, cancel my schedule for this afternoon. I’ll personally ask my father about the shareholders' meeting.""Yes."...It was time to get off work. Since Jeanette knew that Elias would come to meet her for dinner, she clocked out and got off work five minutes early. She went downstairs early to wait for Elias."Yo, you specially waited for me at the entrance. Do you really wa
It was the first time Damon ever did something like that in a car. However, he had already lost his endurance.After dropping by the family residence earlier, Damon had learned from his father that he was going to sign an agreement at the shareholders’ meeting tomorrow and that all the shares under the name of each of the Godfrey family members must be allotted precisely.The marriage between the Godfrey family and the Leighton family had been for business interests in the first place. When Je
…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
