“You… What are you doing?”Damon didn’t move.Instead, he simply gazed at her quietly. For one second, two seconds… Nearly half a minute.The shadows cast by his eyelashes landed on his cheeks. The lights above his head were blinding. Jeanette wavered and nearly forgot to breathe.Finally, he stood up, turned around, and began taking off his jacket.Jeanette instinctively curled up under the covers. Damon tossed his jacket aside and told her, “I’ve received a message today. Madison migh
“Mr. Lindon, this matter is still unclear. Calm down!” Jeanette attempted to defend herself.However, the Internet was currently filled with highlights of Mimi’s promotional video.The release of a promotional video like this needed to go according to the promotional team’s timeline. An early leak like this was considered a loss on both sides.“You were in charge of managing everything after the end of the shoot. The video itself hasn’t been released. The highlights and photos were all on you
Jeanette sighed. “Actually, I thought you’d at least show some measure of sincerity after getting an outstanding girlfriend like Mimi.”“My sincerity is reserved for you. How could I possibly have room for anyone else?” he replied with a grin.‘This guy is always talking out of his *ss, no matter the occasion.’Jeanette rolled her eyes at him. “You’re always putting your foot in your mouth, always with a glib, silver tongue, flirting with women all the time. No woman would be able to tolerate you, no matter how great she is.”“So, is that why you’ve refused to be with me?”“Elias, I’m still Damon’s wife. You really should be more careful when speaking to me,” said Jeanette, quickly putting on a stern face after realizing that he was still being glib.“That’s now. It may not be true in the future, will it?”His remark put Jeanette in a gloomy mood. She wasn’t sure how long she would be able to remain in a prestigious family like the Godfreys.‘I completely gave up on the Godfrey
Jeanette hurriedly waved her hand. “No, he’s just a friend.”“Didn’t look like it. Look at how he’s staring at you. You clearly mean something to him, and you’re running away like a rabbit.”She could see Elias through the rearview mirror, still standing in his spot, not moving at all.Christophe, who was across the road, had already walked into the distance and was nowhere to be seen.She heaved a long sigh, feeling lost.‘Elias… Who knows whether he’s actually being serious or if he’s lying whenever he speaks? Maybe he was just fooling around with me today, on a whim.’When Jeanette arrived home, she realized that she had left all of her things with him in her rush to leave Elias' car!Even though most of the things she had carried out of the office after her dismissal were just a bunch of random personal items, her identification card and all sorts of important cards, and her wallet were among those items.Left with no choice, she gave Elias a call.“Could you send a delive
Although Jeanette was smiling on the outside, her heart had been pierced multiple times.There were numerous times when she would imagine the man in her heart would appear out of nowhere and save her from a helpless situation as she got bullied by her mother-in-law and the cold scorns from the bystanders.However, that man never appeared.Not even once…‘Forget about the fact that there’s no way he could be here since he’s overseas. Even if he was here, he’d probably not help me anyway.’Th
“Piss off!”Without wasting another second babbling with Xavier, Damon immediately flung his hand away and paced outside.After Damon had gone far enough to be seen, the smile on Xavier’s face gradually faded. In fact, there was a certain dangerous glimmer in his eyes beneath that smile of his.…Back at Fordspring, the lights had just turned on as the night approached, and it was slightly chilly.Jeanette subconsciously wrapped her thin jacket around her even tighter.As she dragged her l
“Let her go? That’s easy! We’re businessmen, so if you pay the money you owe our boss plus interest, we’ll naturally play nice. Otherwise…”Jeanette knew that loan sharks were no better than hooligans, plus they were a ruthless bunch who would do anything when they got angry.‘But… Where am I supposed to get $750,000?‘I’ve just lost my job and got kicked out of Damon’s house. I’m just another poor woman who has no one to rely on.’However, there was no way Jenny knew about all this. She h
“You managed to lose $750,000 in stocks? Who’re you trying to deceive?”Under Jeanette’s relentless questioning, Jenny finally could not hold it in any longer and blurted the truth. “The guy said that he had insider info, so he asked us to invest our money in him. It was guaranteed that we’d make a huge return. I wanted to earn a little more, but I didn’t have any savings. As such, I had no choice but to borrow some money. I initially thought I could earn more by investing a higher amount.”“T
