The secretary frowned. She instinctively shielded her right wrist and turned to Xavier irritably.‘Has he lost his mind? What is he doing? I only bought a bracelet exactly like Jeanette’s. I haven’t done anything wrong, so why can’t Xavier let this go?’Jeanette glanced at her wrist curiously, but she was blocking her bracelet from view.Xavier wasn’t about to let her off the hook that easily. He pretended to look surprised. “Ah, sis! That bracelet on her wrist looks exactly like yours…”The secretary panicked but continued acting calm.The secretary took a deep breath and acted calm as she replied, “It’s perfectly normal for people to have the same bracelets. It’s a feminine item, after all. If it’s pretty, plenty of people will buy it.” Xavier, on the other hand, smirked. “But I remember that you helped my brother buy the bracelet on Jeanette’s wrist.”The secretary’s heart sank. She frowned and shot Xavier an angry glare.Jeanette was taken aback. The scene before her was c
Xavier was the second heir to the Godfrey Group. He may not have inherited the CEO seat like Damon, the eldest son, but he was a rich man’s son who his parents greatly indulged.He was a blessed son in the eyes of the public. He wasn’t just handsome, but he also came from a rich family and was born with a silver spoon. He had many things that most people didn’t.However, Xavier had a secret. Damon was the only person that Xavier was jealous of.They may be brothers, but they had never gotten along. Besides, ever since that incident from their childhood, they had pretty much been reduced to enemies.Xavier had dedicated his life to causing trouble for Damon for as long as he could remember. When Damon had been in elementary school, Xavier would constantly tear up his homework and throw them in the trash, in secret, in a bid to prevent Damon, an outstanding student, from handing over his homework the next day and to ensure that the teacher would criticize him.However, Damon would
“Fine, fine…” Damon’s expression was filled with gentleness. “You’re the smartest person, Jeanette, for being able to retain such an important business deal for the company. Now, let me think… How should I reward you?”Jeanette’s eyes sparkled as her face was filled with anticipation. “I’m getting a reward? That’s awesome!”Damon shrugged and said, “Of course you are. You’ve been working really hard to take care of the company all this time. Coupled with the fact that you’ve retained such an i
Damon curled his lips, and his voice was filled with shock as he said, “Why have you turned so red, Jeanette? Are you down with a fever?”Although Damon pretended as if he was absolutely harmless and even extended his hand toward her forehead to check her temperature, the playfulness in his eyes was so intense that it was obvious he was deliberately teasing her. ‘You jerk!’Jeanette turned her reddened face away as she stubbornly denied it. “I’m not down with a fever! It’s really hot outside
The sun’s warm rays were shining inside Mimi’s ward, landing on Mimi’s cheeks. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Autumn’s sunlight was not as hot as the summer’s, so it was comfortably warm as it shone on her, with a gentle breeze blowing in from the window. Over the past few days, Mimi had been recovering really well. Her chest cavity was not as painful, and she was finally able to sit as normal after lying on her bed for such a long time. Sometimes, she could even get out of bed
Mimi quickly reached out her hand, wiped her eyes, and sniveled. ‘I remember I wasn’t this excited the first time I quickly rose to fame as a superstar… It’s probably because I’ve gotten it really easily before this. After all, I had never experienced any hardships before I lost my popularity.’ Mimi had debuted as a child celebrity and would receive roles for many high-quality films as the main character every time. Hence, her viewers had literally watched her growing up. Then, she had got
The sun’s gentle beams were shining inside the ward. Zeke gently patted Mimi’s shoulder as he felt that the girl in his arms was like a little child. ‘She’s actually crying all over with her nose and eyes turned completely red like a rabbit’s. This is actually a mysterious feeling.’Suddenly, a part in Zeke’s heart felt as if it was violently struck and furiously thumped. This emotion stunned Zeke because he had never felt his heart thumping that quickly before. For the longest time, Zeke h
…Over the past few days, Elias had been feeling out of it. His mind kept replaying the gentleness of Zeke's expression when he fed Mimi that day. Such a beautiful scene should originally exist in the most romantic scenes of a romance movie, but it just felt like an eyesore to Elias when he saw it. That was the first time he had a strange sense that was alarming him about the impending danger. He could not help but feel that Mimi was truly going to be snatched away this time. In the past, M
