Jeanette heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Thank goodness… He’s not dead.’Actually, over the long period spent waiting outside the emergency treatment room, Jeanette had been praying countless times, and she felt as if God had finally answered her prayers at that moment.‘Frankly, I don’t have that many feelings for Dad, but I can’t help but feel this indescribable feeling if he actually just dies like that. Is this what it feels like to be sad?’“Mr. Leighton!”The moment Magnus was pushed out o
Jeanette was a little surprised at how aggressive Grace’s words were.“What do you mean by that, Ms. Holden? Are you thinking that I might harm Dad?”“It’s only natural to be wary of those who stand to gain the most out of any situation. Don’t you think so, Ms. Leighton?”Jeanette was instantly startled. ‘She’s actually quite loyal despite being a young secretary. I’m already the interim CEO in the company, yet she still has the courage to openly antagonize her superior.’Since Jeanette ha
Lucia was only a minor clerk at the Godfrey Group. However, now that she was Jeanette’s personal assistant, her salary would at least be triple what she used to be receiving.“I wouldn’t be happy just yet if I were you. We might be facing a lot of problematic issues in the future,” Jeanette reminded her. Lucia saluted and said, “Don’t worry, Jeanette, oh… Wait, I should call you Ms. Leighton now. I’ll definitely do my best not to fail you!”Shortly after Lucia left Jeanette’s office, Damon v
At that moment, Damon’s office doors were opened, and his smile instantly faded. When he raised his head to see who it was, he realized that it was Xavier.“What are you doing here?” Damon immediately pulled a straight face.Xavier was smiling away as he walked toward Damon. “Come on, can you not always look at me with that cold face of yours all the time, Damon? I know that you’re clearly in a splendid mood because of your successful love life, so why are you always pretending as if you’re no
According to the timetable Lucia had arranged for her, she still had to meet Eric Burnham, the person running the Burnham Group. Eric was Elias’ elder brother, and Jeanette had met him a few times. She thought of him as an extremely easy-going businessman, which was why she thought he would be the easiest to handle out of all the shareholders.They had fixed an appointment to meet up at the Burnhams’ residence. Eric had been waiting for a long time when Jeanette was brought to the living room
The discussion went on swimmingly, with Eric being an easy-going person and would be thoughtful with whatever Jeanette came up with. He even said that he would do his best to cooperate with some of the things she mentioned.After they were done, Eric had Elias walk Jeanette out.The two of them walked side by side from the living room to the main entrance when Elias suddenly suggested, “Do you have any plans later? If not, how about I buy you a meal?”“I…” Jeanette hesitated for a moment. A
“Mimi really loves you. Make sure you treat her well.”There was a slightly wry smile on Elias’s face before he got back into his car and drove off.Jeanette heaved a long sigh before she turned around and returned home. However, shortly after she began walking, she saw Damon standing by the entrance with Felix next to him, silently looking at her.Obviously, Damon had seen everything, all the way from her returning in Elias’ car and happily chatting away with him.Hence, Jeanette hurried
Before Jeanette could even react to the situation, Damon pressed onto her head and sealed her lips.At that very moment, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the study.“Daddy, do you have my smartwatch with… you.”Jeanette was so shocked that she almost instantly stood up from Damon’s lap. Meanwhile, Felix was such an understanding little boy that he immediately covered his eyes and darted out. As he ran, he even shouted, “I didn’t see anything!” He was so loud that almost all the se
