Lucia attentively served him a cup of coffee and some dessert. She was about to walk out when Damon stopped her.“Do you need anything else, sir?”“You’ve been transferred to Leighton Inc. for quite a while now. Could you give me more details on Leighton Inc.’s current situation?”Lucia used to work for the Godfrey Group. Thus, she naturally complied with Damon and quickly told Damon everything she had seen and heard over the past few days.Some of her descriptions were pretty close to the things he had heard. However, the internal employees would have a better knowledge of certain details. After listening to Lucia’s description, he found out that Leighton Inc. was really a big umbrella that hid many unpredictable things.Damon was suddenly hit with regret. Maybe he shouldn’t have rushed to make Jeanette take over Leighton Inc. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been put in so many predicaments.However, Lucia said, “Jeanette may have complained about those conceited directors in secre
“Jeanette, Miss Jenny is a good woman. God will watch over her. Don’t worry,” Mimi added encouragingly.Her knees buckled, and she toppled backward. Luckily, Damon was there to catch her.“What the hell happened?” Damon asked Parker.“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I…”Parker hung her head. She couldn’t do anything else except apologize.Elias had to explain. “It’s not Parker’s fault. You shouldn’t blame her. It’s my fault.”“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have left for no good reason,” Parker exclaimed.“I’m not asking whose fault it is. Tell me exactly what happened!”Elias glanced at Jeanette and tried to give a summarized explanation.Apparently, after Elias had told Mimi about Jenny’s injuries and hospitalization, she tagged along with him to visit her at the hospital.However, no one was allowed to enter the sterilized ward. They were supposed to be standing at the door, show their sincerity, then leave.Then, Elias noticed Parker keeping watch outside and casually asked where Jean
“Mom!”Jeanette awoke, screaming.When she woke up, she realized that she was in her bedroom in the Godfrey home. Her son was leaning on the side of the bed, staring at her anxiously.She pulled Felix into her arms and held him tightly, refusing to let go.‘It was all a dream. It must’ve all been a dream.‘See, I’m not in the hospital at all. I’m home. Nothing happened.’“Mommy, I can’t breathe!” Felix was gasping from suffocation.She quickly released him.“Mommy, are you alright?” Felix stared worriedly at her.“I… I’m fine.”“Daddy said that he had to leave the house for a while. He was afraid that you’d be sad when you woke up, so I’ve been sitting with you all this time.”Felix took Jeanette’s hand. He even gave her a piece of tissue paper, worried that his mother would cry.His eyes were red too. It was clear that he had been crying before she awoke. However, he was a little man. He couldn’t let himself cry so easily.“Where’s daddy?” Jeanette asked him.“Daddy said
Jeanette took a deep breath and suddenly got up to get out of bed.However, after lying down for the whole day, her entire body felt sore and weak. She was out of strength the moment her toes touched the ground and fell on her knees right in front of Damon.He quickly helped her up, "What are you trying to do?""I want to go out. For revenge."Damon knew that Jeanette was just getting by with her drive to seek revenge at this moment. Perhaps it was her drive that was keeping her from breakin
"D*mn it!" Jeanette slammed her fist against the wall, disappointed.The wall was hard, but she did not feel any pain in her fist at all. She stared and realized that Damon was actually blocking her in front of the wall."Don’t hurt yourself, even if you’re mad."He held her hand to tell her to calm down.But how could Jeanette calm down?Her mother had just passed away, but the murderer was still at large… No, she would never let Juliana go!The next day, many guests gathered at Jenny’s f
After Jenny's funeral, Jeanette became busier than ever.Magnus was still lying in the hospital. He may never wake up again because of his health condition as he had suffered a stroke. Even if he did wake up, he would probably only be able to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.Therefore, the burden of the entire Leighton Inc. was left on her.She was even busier than Damon.Jeanette would leave home early and return late daily. Other than paying a visit to Jenny’s cemetery days afte
He then took two small glass bottles out of his pocket and put them in front of her."Choose one."Grace looked at the two bottles vigilantly. They looked like medicine bottles, but she did not know what was in them."Mr. Godfrey, what are you trying to do?""The bottle on the left is mifepristone, and the bottle on the right is potassium cyanide. Choose one."Those were abortion drugs and poison. Grace's expression changed instantly when she heard the names of those drugs."What do you wa
"Here are air tickets, a passport, and a foreign green card. There’s $3,000,000 in this card. I’m paying for you to leave, and you shall never return to the States," Damon said.It turned out he was asking her to leave.Grace heaved a sigh of relief.$3,000,000!She gnashed her teeth.Since Damon was willing to spend $3,000,000, could the limit actually be more than that?As such, she tested the waters by saying, "But… But the child in my womb is the flesh and blood of the Leighton family!
