Mimi heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Thank goodness it’s not some perverted creep. Otherwise, no one was going to be able to save me no matter how much I tried to scream.’She suddenly became afraid once again when she realized what was happening.‘What the hell is this guy doing? He’s brought his young girlfriend, yet he’s still here to corner me.‘He even deliberately brought up that morning’s incident, purposely trying to rile me up. What the hell is this guy planning? He seems to be constantly
Elias leaned over and kissed Mimi on the lips as she was talking.Mimi was startled for a moment and subconsciously tried her best to struggle.‘How could he do this!?‘I’m his best friend’s girlfriend, and Zeke’s just in a room a few feet away from us, waiting for me to return. Yet, he’s suddenly forcefully kissing me…’Elias’ lips were tightly sealed against hers, his kiss both fierce and domineering, leaving Mimi helpless as she closed her eyes.In the past, when Mimi had been foolishly
Mimi was panicking completely. ‘Zeke and Elias’ girlfriend are right outside this door. If they do find us hiding in here, everything’s going to become irreversible.’Elias curled his lips in elation as Mimi was panicking. His eyes were filled with malice as if he wanted to provoke someone deliberately. He turned around and was about to pull her out with him, but Mimi forcefully held him back.“Don’t go out, please… I beg you…”Her voice was extremely low and pitiful. She was like an innocent
Silence followed after that for a short moment, followed by the sofa’s muffled noise. The sound of footsteps echoed after that. Jeanette was wearing a long sleeping gown, standing by the door. “How are you so annoying…” She was slightly annoyed with a frown on her face. “You’re interrupting my sleeping time.”In truth, Jeanette did not feel like sleeping at all. She had been lying on the sofa with her eyes wide open the entire time. She strangely found it weird and comfortable that Damon
“How could you possibly be so seriously injured? I clearly didn’t kick you that hard… Was my kick as powerful as someone trained in Taekwondo? How could I have kicked you so hard that you can’t even stand up right now?” Jeanette helplessly mumbled as she painstakingly helped the heavy man get to the washroom.Damon was suppressing his urge to smile, doing his best to put on an aggrieved look at the same time. Jeanette brought him inside the washroom and pointed to the toilet bowl. “There… You
Jeanette’s body instantly stiffened. “No, I’m the one who caused your knee injury, so you should be sleeping there. Plus, the sofa’s too small for you since you’re so tall.”“What I meant was, you and I should sleep together on the bed.”Right after he said that, Jeanette turned around, slightly frustrated, and glared at him. “Dream on!”“Don’t misunderstand me. I don’t intend on doing anything to you. I just… I just don’t want you to sleep on the sofa. It’s so hard that you’ll definitely hav
Jeanette’s small face was both fair and clean under the moonlight, seeming like a pure little child. Damon’s eyes gradually turned soft.‘Silly girl… I’ve never seen a woman as stubborn as her. She refuses to listen to anything I say after she’s sure that I’ve betrayed her, hellbent on wanting to divorce me.‘Does she even know that my heart almost stopped when I saw two copies of the divorce agreement today?‘I never once thought that I’d lose Jeanette one day. I can’t lose her, especially
However, Damon was putting on his clothes in such a hurry that he did not even have the time to put on an act. “Jeanette, hurry up and put on your clothes and follow me to the hospital. Something’s happened to Fe!”Jeanette’s eyes widened!The car was speeding on the road, proving that Damon had also lied when he said that he had not driven there.He had parked his car in a small neighborhood behind Jeanette’s house. At that moment, Jeanette was in no mood to reprimand Damon for that. Moreo
…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
