Jeanette didn’t accept Olivia’s tissue paper. Instead, she pulled a packet of wet wipes out of her own bag.“Damon and I are in the middle of a business discussion. It was rather rude of you to crash in so recklessly, in front of our clients, Miss Leighton. If the clients found out about your relationship with Damon, it would undoubtedly look bad on him. So he had to feign ignorance over your relationship for now. Please don’t overthink it, Miss Leighton.”Jeanette icily replied, “I don’t thin
Suddenly, Damon stood up. He reached out his hand and took her luggage bag, then headed upstairs.She was left to follow him from behind.“Since you’re back and you haven’t gone to the office, why didn’t you wait for me? We could’ve come home together.”Of course, she already knew the answer. Obviously, he wanted time alone with Olivia and didn’t want her disturbing them.Jeanette couldn’t help asking because her mother had been nagging for an hour on the plane. It was infuriating.However,
Damon turned around and gave her a weird look. Then he answered, “She’s an ambassador for a product from one of our subsidiary companies.”“I guess it makes sense. Miss Norton is Elias’ girlfriend. She seems to have a willful personality. I suppose she wouldn’t lower herself and have an affair with a married man like you.”Jeanette realized that she had accidentally blurted out the truth as soon as she said that and quickly put her hand over her mouth.However, Damon didn’t seem angry at all. Instead, he quietly replied, “You’re very bold lately, Jeanette.”She secretly stuck out her tongue and did not dare say another word.…Two days later, they received a call from the old Godfrey Mansion inviting Damon and Jeanette for a family dinner.The Godfrey family dinner only ever happened once a month. This time, they summoned them over before the end of the month because Xavier had returned.Xavier Madden Godfrey, Damon’s younger brother, was five years younger than him and had bee
The butler looked troubled. “Well… You should ask the young master yourself.”“I wouldn’t be asking you if he would tell me.”The butler was forced to a corner and had no choice, so he began. “In order to understand the situation, we’ll have to start from back when the young master was eight years old—”He had just begun his story when the sound of a car was heard from the courtyard outside.The butler let out a cry, as if he were a thief, and shut his mouth. He did not dare say another word
However, he probably wasn’t even interested in which company she worked in or what her job was. Why would he talk to her about this?Due to the advertising campaign, nearly everyone in Jeanette’s company had to work overtime to finish their work.By the time she arrived home that night, it was late at night.The house was quiet, with no one in sight. Damon wasn’t home either.‘Looks like he doesn't plan on coming home today.’“Not coming home is good news too,” she mumbled to herself.Damo
Damon was clearly incensed. If they were not in public, he would have immediately landed his fist on Xavier’s face.Xavier, however, continued to grin. “Are you here to send me off, bro? What, you don’t want me to leave now?”“Shut up and hand it over.”Xavier deliberately acted as if he didn’t understand him. Damon wasn’t in the mood to waste his time with small talk. He snatched his carry-on from him and opened it.Headphones, a watch, and similar small items rolled onto the ground.Many people turned their gazes toward them. Xavier could no longer maintain his grin.“What are you doing, big bro?”Damon found a small black satin box among his things, picked it up, opened it, and looked at it. ‘That’s right. This is the seal I was looking for.’Xavier icily asked, “Dad gave this to me. You’re not planning on taking it away from me, are you?”“Oh? Really?”Under Damon’s icy, intimating gaze, Xavier immediately conceded.‘It’s true. I quietly nicked it from Dad. But even Dad
“Are you alright?”Elias immediately stood up and took out a piece of tissue to help wipe off the juice stains on Jeanette's dress.Jeanette then took the tissue and lowered her head as she wiped it herself. “Don’t worry about it. It’s a good thing that I wore a dark dress today.”However, despite that, there was still a large wet patch on her dress.Elias took off his jacket and covered it over her legs without a second thought. His fingers inevitably touched her legs, causing him to shudde
‘But, I really am innocent this time.’“I don’t care if you believe me or not, but I’m innocent,” replied Jeanette.‘I’m not going to be able to clear my name no matter how I explain this time, so I might as well just confront him head-on.’“Are you really that impatient? You went out on a secret date with another man in broad daylight despite carrying my child.”“Since when was I on a secret date with someone else? Mimi was in the restaurant’s private room as well yesterday!”When she saw
