As the sports car sped throughout the journey, they finally stopped in front of a restaurant.‘Racing his car in the city, I’ve really got to hand it to him.’Jeanette could not help but throw up the moment she got out of the car.Elias was a little lost at that moment. “Oi, I know you haven’t recovered yet, but you don’t have to be that weak, do you? Are you alright?”“…I’m fine.”He then grabbed her by the arm and walked into the restaurant to find a place to sit.The strange thing was t
Elias paused for a moment before he smiled and said, “Of course it’s because I love you.”Jeanette was so shocked that she raised her head.‘This *sshole has never ever been serious whenever he talks. I think he’s already confessed to a thousand if not, hundreds of girls since he was in middle school.‘So, I’ve always treated him as if he was just joking.‘But now, I can actually tell just how serious he is.’“Didn’t you know all this time that I love you, Jeanette?”“Stop joking.”“I’m n
Damon lifted her arms over her head, as if he was afraid of touching the wound on her wrist, and cradled the back of her head with his other hand to prevent her from escaping. He held her down firmly, which gave her no chance for retaliation.Jeanette could smell the scent of peppermint candy from his lips. One second ago, Jeanette was wondering why he was eating peppermint candy, then was kissed to the point of breathlessness the next second.Her brain had a meltdown. She instinctively wrappe
She knew that her mother had used all of the alimony that her father had given her for that bag. Her heart ached.At the time, her mother had told her that this bag was more than it seemed. It was copied in the same style by many female celebrities. She didn’t think that it really was widely copied.The expression on Mimi’s face changed. She immediately put on her sunglasses and continued walking ahead.Jeanette didn’t think too much of it. She was just about to leave when she heard Elias’ vo
Once someone caught Mimi and Elias’ relationship on camera at the hospital, it quickly became the hottest topic on social media.After all, she was a popular star. The waves she made would be more newsworthy than a businessman like Damon. The subject of her dating alone had pretty much broken a few social media applications.Enthusiastic netizens had published every detail of Elias’ resume.Luckily, he was a good man with good looks, good education, good family background, and a good job. A l
“That was in the past. Now, you’re carrying his child, and he’s philandering around? I won’t stand for that!” Jeanette sighed.She knew her mother’s temper very well. When she set her mind on something, she would kick, scream, and do everything possible to achieve it. If she insisted on not going, who knew what trouble her mother would cause if she went there on her own?However, what was the use in going there now?Was she going to storm into the hotel and drag Olivia out of his bed?Now,
Jeanette was feeling very embarrassed. How could she possibly have the courage to look around at will?“If there’s nothing else, I’m going down to see my mother.” She lowered her head immediately, trying to escape.It was awkward enough that she had bumped into him. Now that they were alone, she was at her wits’ end, more than ever.However, Damon remained at the door, blocking her way. He had no intention of letting her leave.He picked up his phone and called the front desk, “There’s a Mis
…Jeanette was bored to death in the hotel.She called her mother, but she told her to have a good talk with Damon and that she did not want to interfere. She was getting ready to explore the local scenic spots.‘She dragged me all the way here, and now she’s treating this like a vacation?’Jeanette was speechless.However, she wasn’t interested in walking around. She would rather stay in the hotel and take a nap.She napped for a few minutes when the doorbell rang. She thought that Damon
…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
