However, Jeanette did not want to let go so easily. Even though she had not wanted this position initially, she would not just give it back to someone heartless.Jeanette suddenly chuckled.Magnus and Grace were confused as they did not understand why she was laughing.She then raised her head and asked in a cold voice: "Dad, do you know that my mother has passed away?""What did you say?"Sure enough, he did not know.Because he never cared at all.After Magnus had woken up at the hospit
It was precisely that reason that caused a dispute among the board of directors."No one is actually that selfless. This is such a good opportunity. Who wouldn’t want to take the opportunity to climb up the ladder?" Damon said lightly.He assured Jeanette that everything could be resolved.Jeanette suddenly came to a realization. "It was you who made Eric come forward to make his position known?"Damon was noncommittal about it."If your father kicked you out and chose a new successor who c
For so many years, all Jeanette had wanted was just an apology from him.But she knew that she would never get it, no matter how long she waited."Rest assured. Leighton Inc. is the fruit of your painstaking effort, and I’ll manage it well. I’ll manage it better than you used to."After she said that, she walked out.Magnus was so angry that he tried to get up from the wheelchair. He wanted to get to her and yell at her, but he was weak and did not have the strength. He finally got out of th
Since those strangers broke into Leighton Inc. during working hours in broad daylight, it was impossible not to notice them.However, all the company employees who saw them thought it was Jeanette's plan, so no one dared to speak up.Magnus was so angry that he started cursing, but the bodyguards treated him respectfully and politely “asked” him to leave the building."Jeanette, Mr. Leighton, and Miss Holden just got taken away!" Lucia quickly ran into Jeanette's office."Taken away? What's
“Why are you smiling?”“Well, you’ve been busy with work ever since your mother passed away that I wonder if you’ve turned into an emotionless robot. You were frigid even to your father… I had been worried that you might have gotten so obsessed by grief and pain that you’d never recover.”“I… Urgh, what’s this gotta do with Grace?”“It’s proof that your heart is still as kind as ever, Jeanette. You’re not as cold as you look… And not as strong as you desperately try to portray.”Jeanette fel
Felix sent a signal for help through a look at his father and murmured meekly, “Um, Dad?”Damon crossed the room and demanded stoically, “Why are you here?”“You’ve got skills, Mr. Godfrey. Sending your thugs to confine me within the hospital while murdering my son before he was even born?” he replied back in kind. “Remember what you’ve done. Because I will, and I’ll bring it back in the future.”“Good. You know it’s all me. No need to take your ire out on the innocent.”Magnus sneered. He h
Jeanette woke up to a shot of sharp, acute pain stinging the back of her head. She could sense a swollen lump through the ache.She snapped her eyes open to the looming face of a stranger. In panicked confusion, she screamed, “Who the hell are you!? Get the f*ck away from me!”Her stomach churned. Bouts of nausea washed over her while her bile threatened to escape.The man widened his mouth into a lopsided grin. “Mornin’, beautiful… You’re up early!” he exclaimed, drawing his stubble-covered
She lurched suddenly and tugged on his sleeves. “D-Don’t!”Jeanette’s shirt was already a disheveled mess, while the bathrobe was only good enough to cover her privacy. The act of extending her hand caused Elias’ coat to slip, and suddenly, her snow-fair shoulders and arms were bare.Elias turned red and looked away.“Don’t go to the hospital.” Jeanette breathed, almost begging. “I don’t want anyone to know.”“Fine, but you have to tell me what happened, okay?” Elias said.
