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
Meanwhile, Damon was still tracking Madison’s location overseas, but to no avail in the end. There were even a few times he was so close to capturing her, but the evil woman still managed to slip past his fingers.Damon calmed himself and began to think. ‘Could it really be true that someone capable is helping her from behind the scenes?’“Check on Xavier, and see if he’s done anything strange recently,” Damon ordered his subordinates.“Mr. Damon, you already asked us to keep a close eye on
Jeanette had become too agitated and could not help but want to hug Damon the moment she saw him. However, when she regained her senses, she only felt embarrassed. She was afraid that he was going to be unhappy.However, there did not seem to be any traces of that on his expression at the time.“Damon, I… I would like to… I would like to borrow $750,000 from you.”She gnashed her teeth, and it pained her as she finally uttered her request.Damon was astonished. “What did you say?”“I… I nee
The butler said to Damon, “Young Master. Actually, when Madam came here yesterday, Miss Jeanette immediately picked up her luggage and left. After that, she suddenly came back in the middle of the night, so I really don’t know what happened.”Damon’s expression instantly became extremely ugly. “She directly left?”“Miss Jeanette was back into a corner at the time…”“Have someone find out why she needs that much money.”…After Jeanette left, she had no choice but to return to Jenny’s house.
