Damon obviously could not let that happen. He would never let go of those who had hurt Jeanette, each and every one of them.After a long time, he finally stood up and said to Parker, "Let's go.""Where are you going, Mr. Godfrey?""I’m going to see a lawyer."The Gardner family only had one daughter their entire life, and that was Olivia. She was extremely precious to them.It was a big deal this time, and there was overwhelming media coverage everywhere. It was very unlikely that Olivia w
The Gardner Corp. had actually taken advantage of Damon’s absence during this time to make a wild counterattack.It was at this moment that Damon finally realized that he could not keep being so depressed."Since the Gardner family wants to play tricks like that, I’ll show them who’s in charge in the business field."Elias smiled lightly. "Good. Now, this is the Damon Godfrey I know."He took a deep look at the sea again. There was no wind today, and it was calm.However, no one knew how mu
Jeanette covered her face, but there was a slightly strange feeling in her heart.After Elias walked out of the room, the smile on his face immediately disappeared. He touched his lips, looked up at the sky, and sighed. They had gotten so close, and she obviously did not know anything, but why was it so difficult for them to get a little closer?"Darling, what kind of macaroni do you want?" he yelled into the room."Like the one I bought the day before yesterday. It must be exactly the same!"
Elias smiled unnaturally. "What could have happened in the past two years? What happened was that you married me, and we live happily together.""But—""Come on, you’re always thinking too much, and it's not good for the baby. Listen to my advice as a doctor, okay?"Elias interrupted her, so she had no choice but to stop asking.According to Elias, she had accidentally stumbled and fallen into the sea when they were on vacation by the sea, causing her to lose her memory.However, she kept b
It was so different compared to his desperate urge to be with her when she had first left. Nothing could make him feel those emotions again."Jeanette, I stopped mentioning you, and everyone else thinks I’ve forgotten you."But it's been half a year. During this time, not a second goes by that I don’t think of you."He picked up the glass of red wine and downed it.Two months ago, Olivia’s final verdict had finally been out. Although she had indeed been diagnosed with schizophrenia by the ho
“Listen to me, Xavier. You should take note of the time and place, even if your plan is to take advantage of the situation and gain profit! If the Godfrey Group ends up losing business, you won’t gain anything either!”“But big brother, I didn’t know you were fighting with the Gardners. I’ve been away from the country for so long now. I thought our previous business with the Gardners was doing quite well? You liked Ms. Gardner too.”Xavier looked as if he were completely ignorant. He was actua
“I’m Xavier! Don’t you recognize me? I…”He was feeling confused when he suddenly noticed Elias walking toward them.Xavier wasn’t acquainted with Elias. He was beginning to feel suspicious. Jeanette, however, rushed toward him.“I thought you were going to buy ice cream? What took you so long?”“The shop owner said they ran out. So I couldn’t get any.”Elias supported Jeanette and looked at Xavier.The man in front of him seemed rather familiar, but he couldn’t seem to remember who he was
Meanwhile, on the other end, Jeanette was in a pavilion with a nice shade by the beach.She had no idea what Elias and Xavier were talking about, and she certainly was not aware of the secret they shared that they just had to avoid her.That man seemed very familiar to her, yet she couldn’t seem to place him.Elias and Xavier were finally finished and walked toward her together.“Elias, what’s going on?” she asked.Before Elias could respond, Xavier placed his arm around his shoulder as if they were good friends.He smiled at Jeanette as he said, “I had no idea that you lost your memories after an accident, sis. Pardon my rudeness. Please don’t be alarmed.”“Who are you? Why did you call me your sister-in-law?”“I’m Elias’ old friend. We’ve known each other for many years. You’re married to him. Of course I’d consider you my sister-in-law, wouldn’t I?”‘Old friends?’Jeanette felt suspicious. Elias had looked shocked when he saw him, not like he had bumped into an old friend.
…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
