Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 175 Wanting a Cell Phone
"All good." Ashton paused, "Charles, take Chicago to wash her hands and face."Charles nodded. Tugging his sister, who was staring at their mom, he headed for the bathroom."What's wrong?" Fiona asked in a hushed voice after the kids left the room.Seeing her composed demeanor, Roy internally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, she truly comes from a great financial dynasty.Throughout the tour, Lilian was constantly talking to Roy, while Fiona spoke very little. However, each question she asked was sharp and insightful.Lilian initially felt she had the upper hand. But gradually, she realized something was off.Fiona may have spoken infrequently, but she had the rhythm of the entire tour under her control.By the latter part of the tour, Lilian wanted to chime in but couldn't find the right moment.Ashton sighed, "Chicago and Charles met Darwin's grandmother.""Huh?" Fiona was astonished.Ashton held her forehead, "Not only did they meet, but Chicago volunteered to tell

Charles pondered deeply but decided not to persuade his sister too forcefully. His sister wanted a phone, and he had enough money to buy it for her.But, if she got a phone, it was likely to contact that person, right?He decided in a second. Charles dismissed the idea of buying his sister a phone.If his suspicions were correct. Then he would never, in his life, want his sister meeting or contacting that person again.On the way to the banquet, Fiona was somewhat distracted.She hadn't expected Mrs. Solomon to still remember her so fondly after all these years.Fiona finally arrived at the private banquet. It was held at a vineyard wine estate. It was the golden wedding anniversary of Janna's friends.Stepping out of the car, Fiona immediately drew quite a bit of attention.The host couple approached her."You must be Chelsea." Mrs. White's face radiated such warmth and affection that she looked much younger than her years."Congratulations on your golden anniversary." Fiona present

Darwin was disinterested.He had met Antony while studying abroad, and his primary reason for being here was the acquisition of Solomons.After concluding a meeting with Antony's legal team that day, Antony enthusiastically invited him to his grandparents' golden wedding celebration. The joy of a lifelong bond, Darwin thought, and decided to attend.Ever since he saw a screenshot of Fiona's profile, he was increasingly convinced that Fiona was still alive. As long as she was alive, he was determined to find her."Did you just find out about the relationship between your grandparents and Janna?" Darwin withdrew his gaze from the window and asked coolly."Those were relationships from their youth. As long as I can remember, I've never seen much interaction between them." Antony sat down, his conversation quickly returning to Chelsea, "Janna's granddaughter is incredibly beautiful!"Over the years, Antony had dated many actresses and models, too many to count on his hands, not to mention

Fiona lowered her eyes. With Sophia's arrival, she wouldn't need to fabricate excuses to turn down Vivian."It's been a while." Vivian greeted with a smile.Sophia cast a disdainful glance at Fiona. With Fiona's beauty, Sophia couldn't help thinking that it all looked surgical! From their first encounter, Sophia felt Fiona seemed eerily familiar, possibly resembling someone from an online photo she had seen.With that thought, she looped her arm through Vivian's."Ms. Vivian, I have a small favor to ask of you.""Oh?" Vivian looked toward Fiona.Fiona smiled with poised grace, "It's no problem, please go ahead with your conversation.""Alright, I will come to find you later." Vivian left with Sophia.Out of Fiona's earshot, Sophia asked, "Ms. Vivian, are you thinking of setting her up with Harold?""What's wrong?" Vivian didn't answer but instead asked a question of her own."You can choose anyone, but not this person." Sophia was visibly anxious. "You've been with Harold in the count

Sophia had been watching Fiona the whole time, wary that she might seduce one of her family's guests at the banquet.Seeing Fiona slip away quietly, Sophia's alarm bells rang, and she quickly followed.She watched in secret for a while.Sophia vaguely heard her mention something about her home here and there.She was certain Chelsea must have been on the phone with a man she was keeping."Chelsea, why are you hiding here by yourself?" Sophia stepped forward.Fiona glanced at her, then gently told the person on the phone, "I have something to deal with here, make sure you take your medicine."Burl responded with a grievance and ended the call.Fiona placed her phone back in her handbag and stood up.She was half a head taller than Sophia, and her presence naturally felt more imposing than Sophia's. Sophia didn't like this at all.She forced a smile, "So tender with him, that couldn't be the man you're rumored to be keeping, could it?"Fiona looked at Sophia, "Miss White, before you pro

Upon Sophia's return, she was greeted by the sight of her grandmother proudly introducing Chelsea to everyone. The situation left her breathless with irritation.Then her gaze swept the room and finally rested on a butler carrying a tray of champagne.A quick exchange of glances between them, and he headed towards Fiona.Arms crossed, Sophia thought, "Trying to steal the spotlight in my own home? Let's see if I allow it!"Because of Mrs. White's announcement, Fiona was pushed to the front of the crowd.Surrounded by gazes filled with a mix of emotions, she felt particularly scorched by one.This unsettled Fiona, causing her mind to wander just as an accident occurred.A server bumped into her while carrying a tray.The crowd gasped in shock, even Mrs. White, speaking on stage, looked on in panic.It seemed inevitable that Fiona would be drenched in champagne when suddenly, a strong hand wrapped around her slender waist and yanked her back.Champagne glasses shattered on the floor, and

"Those rumors are false!" Darwin stated in a deep voice.Fiona appeared indifferent, "You don't need to explain to me, it's none of my business. Now, please let go of me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude.""Fiona…" Darwin's attitude began to soften.He had reflected on a lot over the years. During the years Fiona was by his side, he had always been domineering, and she truly suffered."I'm not her!" Fiona pushed Darwin forcefully.Darwin staggered back a couple of steps.The person in front of him appeared very impatient and incredulous."Mr. Solomon, I am, after all, a member of the Rhoads family. Please show some respect. Touch me again, and I will most definitely sue you for sexual harassment!" After saying this, Fiona quickly opened the door and left with long strides.What was that expression on Darwin's face just now? Pretending to be pitiful before her? He had just seen another person who looked like Fiona, triggering this scoundrel

Vivian draped her luxurious silk shawl gently over Fiona's shoulders, "The wind can make the nights quite chilly."Fiona was a bit irritated but didn't want to cause a scene in public with Vivian."Thank you." She nodded at Vivian, then turned and walked towards her car.Vivian stood there, quite satisfied with herself. The shawl was a gift from Harold. She would send Harold to retrieve it from Chelsea. She was convinced her handsome son would surely charm Chelsea! This unfolding situation could resolve her son's future.Vivian quickly returned to the banquet hall, just in time to see Sophia losing her composure."You've all been deceived by Chelsea, she's a complete villainess, scandalously promiscuous, with a bunch of illegitimate children whose fathers are unknown. I just overheard her on the phone with a man she's keeping!""Rubbish!" Mr. White spent his life in high regard and was embarrassed to hear his granddaughter publicly defame someone. He strode o

As Ashton was sorting through the gifts, she too was reflecting on everything."Isn't my life just a series of bizarre twists?" she mumbled, looking down. "Finding out Chris was secretly going on blind dates behind my back, then breaking up. Watching him get engaged, and seeing my own mom take his fiancée's side, leading to our fallout. That should have been my rock bottom, right?"Fiona nodded in agreement.The day Ashton cut ties with her mom, she'd even bought her a plane ticket. She wanted to send her to some tranquil getaway for a much-needed vacation to relax and rejuvenate."Who would've guessed? Right after the falling out with my mom—a spur-of-the-moment decision—I ended up marrying Kenny. I was so down on my luck, I thought, 'How much worse can it get?'” Ashton chuckled ironically, then softened a bit. "But, who could have predicted how good Kenny would turn out to be? How he'd respect every single wish of mine."It was a kind of care that she hadn't felt since her dad had l
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 258 The Fiery Passion of a Godfather**
Fiona was actually surprised. After all, she wasn't a saint without desires. It all made sense to just go with the flow and do what naturally came next. She might only berate herself later for succumbing to her cravings. But Darwin stopped, and that was beyond her expectations. In the past, this would have been unthinkable. It seemed as though... he really had learned to respect her.She pressed a quick, rewarding peck onto Darwin's lips, smiled, and teased, 'Mr. Solomon, maybe you should head to the bathroom?”Her smile was captivating and bright, causing Darwin's past five years of distressing memories to resurface. He pulled her into his arms again."Wife, I miss you so much, I'm starting to lose my mind," Darwin's voice shook, betraying his emotional turmoil. "I keep seeing your shadow at home, but when I chase after it, there's nothing... Thank goodness... this time I've really got you in my arms."Fiona listened to his voice laced with sobs, her heart aching with each word."Ser
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 257 Leaving a Mark
Darwin had always been self-centered in matters of intimacy. Whenever he desired, she couldn't refuse.In her haziness, Fiona felt like she was back in those times again."Don't be afraid."Sensing her anxiety and unease, Darwin softened, kissing her lips again and coaxing her with his gentle voice, "I won't force you. I'll wait until you're ready to truly accept me."In Fiona's misty eyes, desire began to cloud her vision. Her gaze often seemed distant and disconnected. As Darwin kissed her, her mind turned into mush, instinctively she kissed him back softly.Mr. Solomon just stood there, silent, his towering frame taut."You know exactly how to torture me," Darwin groaned, voice hoarse, as he peppered her neck with more fervent kisses."Be gentle..." Fiona clenched his hand. "You'll leave marks!"Darwin chuckled lowly, then tilted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, "Why fear my marks? Scared that man will see and get jealous?""No, it's not that…" Fiona turned away with a sligh
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 256 A Taste of Sweetness
Once finished, the anxiety within Lilian began to subside.Just wait a little longer, Lilian. All these nuisances will soon vanish.And then, you'll be there for Darwin with all your gentle warmth. He’ll eventually be moved, realizing you're the one for him...Lilian took a deep breath and exhaled.On her way out, she passed by the flower shop where Darwin made his purchase. From a distance, she had only glimpsed the type of flowers Darwin had bought and decided to buy the same kind.Inside the apartment, Darwin silenced his phone and tossed it aside."Why didn't you tell me? Worried I'd take Lilian's side?" he pulled her close and asked earnestly.For five years, she had lived in Lilian’s shadow, a daily reminder that she was merely a stand-in and that Lilian was the more important one—a notion that had likely seeped into her very marrow.This realization made Darwin wish he could travel back in time to give his younger self a good thrashing.He

"The only person I've ever schemed for was Solomon. What could possibly make you believe I'd harm someone I don’t even know, like Miss Rhoads?" Lilian asked. "If that's truly how you see me, maybe it'd be better if you just kicked me out of Solomon's life..."Darwin had promised to protect Lilian.Hearing her say this, he felt a twinge of guilt.But...Darwin feared even more that because of the thorn that was Lilian, his wife’s heart, which had just started to soften toward him, would turn cold again.He was walking on eggshells just to avoid pushing her away.So..."I'm sorry, Lilian," Darwin said flatly. "There's no room for discussion."Lilian sat frozen in the car, as if her blood was slowly turning to ice.Even in her early days back in the country, Darwin had never protected Fiona like this.He used to drop everything to be at Lilian's side whenever she needed him, leaving Fiona behind.Now...Even when she tried to befriend Che
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 254 Striking First?
Fiona gazed at Darwin, his face inexplicably brimming with pride."Lilian places great value on the RH Company project." She kept to herself the fact that Lilian had plagiarized her proposal, but Fiona wasn't about to let it slide.This was simply a clash of interests, and she felt no need to drag Darwin further into the fray, avoiding the mess of tangled priorities."Hmm," Darwin's smile faded slightly, "Her proposal is indeed impressive, but it pales in comparison to yours."Fiona studied him intently, searching his face for any hint of romantic sentiment towards Lilian.Her search ended in vain."What are you looking at?" Darwin pulled her closer by the waist, gazing up at her.Fiona brushed her fingertips gently across his cheek, causing him to nuzzle into her hand like a kitten seeking affection."Don't stay away too long, come back soon," he whispered softly, his voice barely a murmur.What he truly wanted to say was, "Don't leave."Thei
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 253 Withdrawing Solomon
Darwin had no clue about the sunny-side up egg story. Upon hearing it, his gaze immediately sought Fiona's.Fiona was clutching her burger too tight."Oh, why bring that up, mother?" the daughter-in-law chided softly, "I'm sorry about this.""It's fine," Fiona shook her head gently.Seeing Granny distressed, she excused herself to rest.Fiona stared at her burger, lost in thought.She had never imagined it.Her death had cast such a shadow, not only over her loved ones, but over those beyond her immediate circle.“It’s okay.” Darwin soothed her gently.Fiona cast another glance toward where the Hamburger Lady had disappeared and bowed her head to eat slowly.If the Hamburger Lady was so affected...What about Darwin?She had never been fully convinced of Darwin's love for her. It always seemed to her that his treatment of her was nothing more than possessiveness.Like an old belonging he didn’t want to discard, nor did he want anyo
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 252 The Entanglement Continues
Darwin sat in the treatment room with Fiona sitting beside him, scrolling through messages on her phone, while a doctor attended to Darwin's wound."The wound's not too deep, but it's not superficial either. You'll have to watch your diet," the doctor advised after dressing the wound."Got it, thank you for your help," Fiona put away her phone and politely thanked the doctor.Then they left the treatment room together.Darwin's face was brimming with relief, "We really didn't have to come to the hospital for this."Fiona didn't look at him.Leading the way, she said over her shoulder, "I'm here to prevent someone from using their wounds as an excuse to get me to come back."At that,the joy visibly drained from Darwin's face."I would never do that," he murmured softly.Fiona finally stopped and turned to look at him, "Mr. Solomon, you're becoming shamelessly unprincipled. Aren't you embarrassed to say such things?""Hungry?" Darwin steppe

We hope that while guiding these industries through current challenges, we can also preserve the essence of the company's original culture as much as possible. Furthermore, we aim to highlight the significant contributions that RH Company has made to Armie Country and its citizens during challenging times. Monsoon Investment sincerely wishes to join hands with the esteemed shareholders of RH Company, to usher in the next era of brilliance,” Fiona concluded her address with a respectful bow.As she stepped down from the podium, the auditorium was quieter than expected.In contrast to the heated reactions to Lilian’s proposal, Fiona’s approach landed like a heavy punch right at the heart of RH Company’s shareholders. Lilian's face turned particularly sour.Chelsea's new strategy represented a complete shift.While the first proposal seemed, at first glance, to have a stronger pull on pe
