After Madison had gotten chased away, all her resentment about the fake pregnancy was directed toward Jeanette.Jeanette's heart felt bitter. It was clear that she was hurt the most by what Madison had done, but why did everyone think that she should bear the consequences of Madison’s mistake?It was unfair. She was upset and angry, but she was helpless."Hurry up. Why are you still dawdling? If you keep dawdling, it’ll be even more difficult when Damon comes back." She had to start packing h
Damon was instantly startled, but Jeanette did not continue any further.“Are you planning to leave? Just like that?” he asked.“Isn’t that what you want?”“We’ve already been acting for so many years now. Why would you stop all of a sudden?” Damon’s tone was still as sarcastic as usual.Jeanette raised her head and smiled as she said, “Because… I’ve found my next target.”What started out as a casual rant just so that she would not show any signs of weakness ended up with a menacing glimme
After leaving the Godfreys, she had gone to look for her biological mother.However, she had never expected that Jenny would become furious when she saw her daughter carrying her luggage with her after being chased out by the Godfreys.“You’re Damon’s legitimate wife! Yet, you just agreed to the divorce because of a little piece of scandalous news? Are you crazy?!”Then, Jenny was about to drag her daughter with her to rush back to the Godfreys.However, Jeanette just stood there without mov
Jeanette could not see anything at all. Instead, she could only hear the sound of her blood dripping from her wrist into some kind of unknown container.“Jeanette, I’m going to show you what it feels like to have your blood drained from your body. Let’s see if you like it or not,” Madison whispered in Jeanette’s ear as she laughed coldly. On the other hand, Jeanette could feel the excruciating pain from the wound on her wrist as she was fixed to the chair. All she could hear was the sound of
‘I forced myself to be placed second in my year just so that I could get into the same school as him.‘I put in all my effort just so that I could proudly stand in front of him.‘In the end, it was all just a pipe dream.’…When Jeanette woke up from her dream, everything was white, while it was pitch black outside the window.The mixture of black and white made a magical portrait. If the nurse had not walked toward her, Jeanette would have definitely thought that she was at a crossroad whe
However, Jeanette’s chest hurt as it was not easy for her to conceive this child. How could she bear to let this baby not have the chance to come into this world!However, since they were divorced, he probably would not want to have a bastard child with her.Jeanette let out a bitter laugh.Damon suddenly felt annoyed. "Jeanette, do you know what you're saying?""I...""The child in your stomach belongs to the Godfreys. Don't even think about touching him."Damon was clearly angry. He grab
After spending all that time finishing that bowl of soup, she ended up throwing it all up again. Over the past few days, her body was growing weaker and weaker because of how severe her morning sickness was. In fact, she had even lost a lot of weight.Damon was leaning against the bathroom door as he handed her a piece of tissue.“Thank you.”After she rinsed her mouth, she was just about to return to bed when she was suddenly lifted up from the ground and held in his arms.“Damon, let… Le
That year, Jeanette had a huge crush on Damon. However, because of how inferior she felt, she had not dared to even confess to him.Yet, God loved playing tricks on people. Two years ago, both of them had ended up drinking too much and accidentally spent the night together during a party. Initially, it had been supposed to be a one-night stand, but news of the matter somehow spread, becoming so serious that the parents of both parties got involved. The Godfreys had always been very particul
…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
