The document clearly stated all the shares available in the Godfrey Group, including inheritance.In other words, if Jeanette and Damon were to separate one day, she would not receive a single cent from the Godfrey Group.‘This is expected. The Godfrey Group’s fortune has nothing to do with me anyway.’Sylvia was only taking precautions against her, in case she was actually eyeing the family fortune. It would seem that she had misunderstood Sylvia’s intentions.Jeanette picked up a pen from Damon’s desk. She was about to sign her name for Sylvia’s benefit when her phone suddenly rang.“Mrs. Godfrey, it’s me, Parker.”Parker’s voice sounded particularly panicked on the other end. She had always been calm and collected and rarely ever lost her nerve. Jeanette’s heart clenched. Seeing as she had called her at this hour, something must have happened.Parker took a deep breath and continued. “We got into an accident on the way to the factory. Mr. Damon and Mr. Burnham are both inju
Damon’s driver had sustained minor injuries as well due to the accident. As such, Parker drove them home.Parker told Jeanette about the accident on the way home.Apparently, after Elias’ car was pushed out of the sinkhole, there was a little trouble with the brake system. Hence, the brake was unstable when he started the car and ended up banging into Damon’s car.“There were five to six cars altogether, and it just had to crash into yours. Looks like you were hit with a bout of bad luck, you
Jeanette knocked her head against his chin and said, “Do whatever you want. I’m not going to help you!”She had intended on slapping his hand away and running off, but he stretched out his long arm and pulled her back in.“So… I can do whatever I want. You said it.” He smiled humorously as his breath brushed against her face.Realizing that he was going to steal a kiss, Jeanette quickly pushed him away, knocking his wounded hand against the wall.He gasped in pain, but his arm, which was wra
However, she couldn’t let Damon find out about that, or he’d force her to swallow the hair-dryer.Hence, she casually covered it up and said, “I used to dry my mother’s hair too.”Damon nodded. “How long has it been since you last went home? The weekend starts tomorrow. I’ll take you there.”“Okay!” Jeanette was both surprised and delighted.Jenny had mentioned to her more than once that she and Damon did not get along. Jeanette had always thought that Damon didn’t like her mother and didn’t
‘This man is my father?’She stared at Magnus in an apprehensive manner and saw that he was looking at her too, with a strange and hesitant expression.‘I guess he really is my father.’Jeanette’s heart leaped wildly.She had heard stories about her past and where she had come from from her mother and the people around her from time to time. As such, she had a rough idea, but she never expected to meet him now.“Jeanette, I’ve been looking for a chance to see you when I heard that you survi
Damon looked around the house and suddenly asked Jenny, "Are you in debt again?"Her expression changed immediately, and she denied, "I’m not! Stop spewing nonsense!""Really?""Mr. Godfrey, stop thinking that you can order me around just because the Godfrey family is wealthy. Let me tell you, I’m still your elder no matter what!"It was uncommon to see Jenny act so tough when she was with Damon, but Jeanette and Damon could clearly see that she lacked confidence when she was saying that.At this time, Felix suddenly said, "Mοmmy, didn't you say that you have some gifts for Granny? Stop fighting, okay?"Felix’s words reminded Jeanette of the presents, and she quickly picked up all the gift boxes that had fallen on the ground earlier. She then handed them to her mother."I’ll stop asking about your affairs. Damon and I specially picked these gifts for you. Let's not talk about that anymore, okay?"Jenny heaved a sigh of relief and accepted the gifts.Jeanette brought Damon and
"What did you do with the diamond ring? Tell me!" Damon's tone sounded harsher.Jenny was a little frightened and did not dare to say anything.Jeanette had no choice but to persuade her, "Mom, just tell us. Why do you need such a large sum of money?""I… I have my own reasons!""Are you really in debt? How much debt are you in? Have you paid it off?"Jenny kept shaking her head, "I’m not in debt. Your father is!""My father?"Jeanette was dumbfounded."He said that he needed money for c
"You’re actually kind of like your mother," Damon said to her."Really?"It was the first time Jeanette heard someone say that she was like her mother.As they were talking, they arrived at the jewelry store. When the staff heard that they were here to get the diamond ring, they were shocked.Jenny had sold the ring for millions, so in order to get it back, the price would be even higher than the market price. However, Damon said nonchalantly, "I’m taking back that diamond ring."His tone w
…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
