“What do you mean?”“I’ll send you to work and pick you up whenever I have time in the future, regardless of the transportation mode.”Jeanette was completely clueless as to what Damon was trying to do, so she chose not to say anything and tried her best not to get close to him.Thus, the two of them crammed together for almost 30 minutes before Jeanette finally stood up.When the two of them got off the train, they were completely drenched in sweat.Although that was Damon’s first time com
Naturally, Jeanette was aware that the bad things Jenny had told her about Damon that night had been very much exaggerated.However, she was still Jeanette’s biological mother.‘Why would Mom say such things if Damon had been a dependable husband in the first place?‘Furthermore…’“Stop thinking so much. You’re just a little boy, so why are you being so worried about it?”“Isn’t that because you keep on making me worry about you, Mommy?” Felix heaved a sigh as he pretended to be an adult.
One look at Felix was almost enough to tell that he had inherited the Godfreys’ good genes. Hence, despite her memory loss, Jeanette could not deny that fact.‘Looks like Damon’s adamance is most likely because of his son.’“Damon, I don’t care what you’re actually playing at, but Felix is my son whom I carried for ten long months. I know the Godfreys have a whole lot of power, but the only way you can take him away from me is over my dead body!”‘Actually, I won’t allow my son to be taken aw
In fact, the teachers would be absolutely busy calming one child to the next continuously.However, Felix was leaning against the window as he waved at his parents, seeming as if he was completely fine. “Your son doesn’t seem to be very reliant on you,” Damon leisurely said. “Says who? He relies on me a lot! He can’t live one day without me by his side!”Jeanette suddenly became nervous. She was afraid that Damon might come up with some excuse at any moment to snatch Felix away from her.
Damon had leaned in so suddenly that his nose was almost touching her cheek, causing Jeanette to jump up in shock. She thought that Damon was about to take advantage of her, so she hurriedly pushed him away violently.Hence, Damon’s head very cleanly hit the ceiling, and he let out a muffled groan. He then took advantage of it and leaned directly on her chest as he groaned in pain. Jeanette tried to push him away again with all her might, but how could she manage that?Damon could not help b
‘He actually sent his past scandal to jail, forcing her to go crazy.‘Even the entire Gardner family was eventually forced into bankruptcy… Damon really is terrifyingly cold and heartless.’Jeanette shook her head. ‘No, I mustn’t let such a cruel man be Felix’s father!‘After I steal that document for Xavier and repay my debt, I’m going to take my son out of Fordspring immediately. We’ll get as far away from Damon as possible.’…Meanwhile, at the Godfreys’ family residence, Damon was immed
Back at the Godfrey Group, Jeanette had been slightly out of it since she arrived at her office that morning.Xavier had told her beforehand that there was a management meeting that day, so she should take that opportunity to try and open up the safe in Damon’s office.Since she had never done something like this before, it was inevitable that she would be slightly nervous.Because of this, she did not even have an appetite to eat her lunch.“Jeanette, you don’t look so good. Are you feeling
Jeanette’s heart skipped a beat for a moment. ‘Damon probably relies on her a lot to be able to entrust her with such an important password, doesn’t he?‘I heard that she’s been by Damon’s side ever since she graduated, plus she’s got impressive professional skills.’After Parker walked away, Jeanette hurriedly shook her head. ‘Come on, think of where I am at the moment. Why am I still thinking about all this nonsense?’Realizing that she was the only one in the office, Jeanette hurriedly
…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
