Fiona calmly and confidently talked about the machine.Occasionally, she would exchange a few words with the astonished engineers to confirm that what she was saying was accurate.Eric's gaze shifted from initial surprise to later confusion, and then settled on admiration."I apologize, I'm not an expert in this field. My understanding is quite limited. Hopefully, Mr. Eric can grasp what I'm trying to say," Fiona modestly concluded.Before Eric could speak, Darwin took two steps toward Fiona. Although Fiona didn't seek his help, she had indeed given him a lot of face. She had also given Solomons and Solomon's senior management a glimpse of her capabilities. He knew that Fiona was not the decoration they thought she was. She's impressive."Mr. Eric, has my secretary not disappointed you?" Hathaway asked."Of course not!" Eric's eyes sparkled. "Miss Woods is not only beautiful but also intellectually stunning!"Hathaway stood still, watching Darwin's proud and affectionate gaze at Fiona
At the end of the charity auction, Janna Rhoads also bid on a set of top-grade pearl jewelry.There were earrings, a necklace, a brooch, and a bracelet. Compared to the seventeen million diamond necklace, it was a bit more low-profile.After the auction, there was a cocktail party. Janna Rhoads exchanged greetings with the organizers and left the venue with Stuart, who wore a suit and had a fierce look on his face.Seeing this, Hathaway followed along. She felt that she had a great conversation with Janna Rhoads today, and it seemed that Janna Rhoads liked her very much as well. So she thought of taking advantage of the situation and finding a reasonable excuse to exchange contact information or something.From the venue to the elevator, there was a vintage screen blocking the way. Hathaway lifted her foot to step over the screen. Then she heard the bodyguard following Janna Rhoads ask in a minor language, "Madam, is it too extravagant to give such a precious gift to someone you just
Eric was taken aback. Seizing the opportunity, Fiona pushed him away and started walking.Eric steadied himself and immediately caught up, saying, "I'm not a dirty man, I'm very clean!""When I say 'dirty,' I mean you're dirty down there," Fiona said, glancing disdainfully at a certain part of Eric's impeccably tailored pants. "You sleep with all kinds of women, and you're not dirty?"Eric paused for a moment, understanding what Fiona meant. His face instantly darkened."And where do you stand in all this? I've heard that Darwin has always treated you like a commodity. He even said at a dinner party that he would give you away to anyone who wants to play with you!"Fiona's heart trembled. She knew about this. And she was present at the time. It was probably about three years ago. Darwin had just finished discussing a business deal with a coal industry tycoon, in a similar setting to tonight's event. The tycoon was clearly a lecherous man. For those few days, his eyes seemed glued to h
Returning to the bedroom, he carefully laid her on the bed and covered her with the blanket.Under the warm light, Fiona slept peacefully. Darwin gently played with her hair and then leaned down to kiss her lips.A fleeting thought came to his mind, right now Fiona was at the most peaceful and sweet.Darwin suddenly realized that when she wakes up, she would no longer show him such tenderness.Darwin's heart felt like there was a knife twisting in it. Perhaps if more time had passed.Even in moments of haziness, she wouldn't treat him like this.After a long while, a voice deep within his heart asked, "Darwin, is it worth it?"Afraid of disturbing Fiona's sleep, Darwin went to the guest bathroom to take a shower. When he came back, his gaze fell on the bedside table. He pondered for a moment, then walked over and opened the drawer. Neatly arranged inside were the contraceptives. Without hesitation, Darwin took them all out, turned around, and threw them in the trash. As if he was wor
Around the same time, at the penthouse suite of the W hotel in the city center. The round bed was in complete disarray. Eric pushed away the woman in his arms and strode into the bathroom. The sound of running water soon came from the bathroom.The sound of rushing water filled the air. Eric's face was filled with annoyance as he leaned his muscular arms against the wall, letting the cool water wash over him. His frustration stemmed from his interaction with Fiona.The entire night had passed, but Fiona's disdain and mockery still echoed in his mind. Him, dirty? What right did a woman who sold herself for Darwin have to disdain him? Damn it! He gritted his teeth tightly. This was probably the first time he had encountered a woman he couldn't handle. Eric felt that he was behaving abnormally. Even when he was with the other woman outside, he couldn't control his thoughts from being filled with Fiona. In the French windows, in the mirrors, he could faintly see Fiona's graceful figure. T
The manager with the surname Zeng was stunned on the spot."Isn't what I said the truth? Everyone knows about the relationship between you and Mr. Solomon in Solomons from top to bottom!" Mr. Geoffrey yelled at the top of his voice.His face turned red and his neck grew thick.Fiona looked at him. "Don't get so worked up, save some anger for later," Fiona smirked, "I didn't quite understand what you said just now, what does 'climb the bed' mean?"Manager Geoffrey's face turned even redder. An inexplicable sense of shame crawled up his heart."You know it yourself!" Mr. Geoffrey said, not intending to discuss this matter further."I don't know, that's why I asked," Fiona interrupted unyieldingly."You..." Mr. Geoffrey pointed at Fiona, his lips trembling. He felt that Fiona was provoking him. Coupled with the many eyes around them, Mr. Geoffrey slammed the table, "Climbing the bed means climbing up a man's bed, relying on sleeping with a man to climb up the ladder!"There was an uproar
Anniston lately could be described as distressed. She gave birth to a good son! He actually made a move against her because of a substitute! Not only had her position in Solomons been gradually revoked, even her confidants were harmed!"Smack!"Anniston slapped the latest financial daily in front of Darwin."Did you do this to Uncle Zeng? He watched you grow up! He followed your mother for thirty years! Even if you want to get rid of me, you shouldn't use such ruthless methods, right?"Darwin glanced at the newspaper.“He didn’t do this terrible thing himself. Hasn’t it been exposed?” Darwin’s tone remained icy."Exposed?"Anniston sneered, "When I went to bail him out, they wouldn't release him. Only through my inquiries did I find out that some righteous person anonymously provided the police with many photos and videos! No matter how much money he has, Uncle Zeng won't be able to escape!"“Photos and videos?”Darwin thought of Fiona's hacker associate and the incident involving Mr.
Darwin chuckled, "An unconventional relationship?""It always has been..." Fiona muttered. "Can you do it or not? Say something!"“Hmm.”Darwin indeed needed to go back to the old mansion tonight. It was time to set a date for Hathaway's wedding. Choosing today was also a way to appease Anniston. Otherwise, with her personality, who knows what kind of turmoil she would cause."I'm going back to the secret mansion tonight.""The study is over," Fiona said as she tried to stand up. However, Darwin wouldn’t allow it. Not only did he stop her, but he also pressed her down onto the sofa. Fiona exclaimed, shocked. She hadn’t locked the door when she came in, and anyone could enter at any time. "The door isn't locked!" Fiona whispered anxiously. Darwin acted as if he hadn't heard and lowered his head to kiss her. Fiona was trembling with fear, but luckily no one came in while he was finished. Her lipstick was completely smudged, and she breathed heavily as she lightly punched Darwin and
