Britney trembled in anger and immediately dialed the number to the manager of First World Entertainment. The phone rang for a very long time before he answered.“Hello.” The man’s voice on the other end sounded cold and distant, a stark contrast from his previously attentive self. Britney was at the height of her rage and did not notice that something was off.“Are you the manager of First World Entertainment? I’m Britney Conway. I'm willing to sign a contract with your management company, but
‘How could this be? Why is this happening?’Britney tossed her phone aside as she sat on the couch. “No, it’s not possible. How could this be happening?”She was an actress with fame and fortune a few months ago. How could everything have changed in just less than a few days?She lowered her head and stared into space for a very long time. She looked as if her soul had been sucked out of her body and couldn't move at all.The temperature in the house seemed to plummet again. She sat there
Jeanette stayed in Mimi’s ward all afternoon. It had been a while since the women had last met, and they had a lot to say to each other.Women were naturally chatty, so they chatted and chatted, on and on until evening. When the red hues from the setting sun hit the room, Jeanette finally remembered Damon.She was suddenly taken aback and covered her mouth.“What’s wrong, Jeanette?” Mimi stared at the strange look on Jeanette’s face in apprehension and confusion.“Sh*t!” Jeanette frowned in exasperation. “I’ve forgotten about Damon.”“Mr. Godfrey? Did he tag along with you to the hospital? Or do you have a date?” Mimi was not aware of Damon’s hospital admission and was confused.Jeanette shook her head. She knew that she was in trouble. “Damon had food poisoning. He’s in the ward on the thirteenth floor, and I’ve left him all alone there for an entire afternoon. I’ve even forgotten…”Mimi was shocked. “What? How could you have forgotten? You’re a crackpot, Jeanette. Mr. Godfrey
Forget about the fact that she had completely disappeared for the entire afternoon… Once, her phone had run out of battery when she was out shopping. Damon had been upset because he couldn’t contact her for up to two hours. Furthermore, she had disappeared after they shared a passionate kiss.The thought of Damon’s possessive and upset face made her head numb and her mind panic. He would resort to actions whenever he was upset and was capable of making her blush even more. He was even capable of committing jaw-dropping, weird actions in a hospital, so she needed to come up with some way to placate Damon’s emotions.Jeanette broke into sweat. She huffed and puffed as she finally arrived at the door to Damon’s ward.She stood at the door reluctantly, too afraid to go inside.‘Maybe… I should find a place to hide for today? The nurses are with him in the ward now anyway. They’re professionals. They’d certainly be able to take good care of him.’The thought of that filled Jeanette wit
"Fine," Jeanette did not know whether she should cry or laugh about it but promised Damon anyway.He was such a domineering man that he wanted her to always put him first.When Damon was acting childish, she absolutely could not refute. She could only do as he said, or else he would try his best to make her give in. She knew it from experience after spending so many years with Damon.Even a man who appeared cold and icy on the outside would let his guard down when he was with people who mattered. It was like when a cautious cat with its claws out suddenly took off its ferocious front.Damon was just like a childish, arrogant cat.However, Jeanette happened to be one who loved small animals.Damon was in a good mood when Jeanette appeared to be so obedient and nodded in satisfaction. "So, did you meet anybody else other than Mimi?"Jeanette did not think much about it and answered frankly, "Yes, I bumped into Elias downstairs. He seemed to have argued with Mimi."For a moment, D
The warm golden sunlight penetrated into the ward, and the smell of romance seemed to be lingering in the air.Jeanette was all tensed up as she was lying on Damon's body. Her eyes widened, and she was trying to resist by placing her hands against his chest. Her body was stiff, and she dared not move.Damon held her waist tightly with one hand while the other hand moved restlessly along the bottom of her shirt before slipping in and wandering around on her smooth back. Jeanette's skin was as s
Jeanette was lying on the hospital bed, covered in sweat. She seemed to be in a daze, and her face flushed as she tried to catch her breath, sweat dripping down her forehead along her temples.The man behind her hugged her waist tightly, his muscular chest pressed against her back. Jeanette seemed to be able to feel his violent heartbeat through his warm skin.Although it should be a joy to be embraced by the man she loved, she definitely did not feel that way at the moment.After the passion
Jeanette blushed. "It's not about breaking the law, alright? If someone saw us, it’d be terrible."Damon curled his lips, his eyes filled with tenderness. She seemed to be quite shy."Fine." Damon, who was behind her, suddenly turned over and got out of bed. He then walked over to lock the door.Jeanette gazed in surprise when his tanned, muscular body was completely exposed in front of her. There were beads of sweat on his chest, rolling down along the nooks and curves of his muscles, making her blush in an instant. She found the scene strangely seductive and subconsciously gulped.Damon saw everything. He smirked and started laughing.Damon's laugh made Jeanette feel embarrassed because she was caught peeking. She blushed and covered her eyes. "What are you doing?""What am I doing? Obviously, you’re the one peeking at me. I should be the one asking you that, right?" Damon smiled. She was strangely cute when she was shy. It made him feel like just squeezing her face.Jeanette'
…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
