Fiona felt that she had already become immune to the matter of Darwin getting married. Yet when she heard about the wedding date, her heart still ached sharply.Fiona thought to herself: "Ah, how pathetic.”"Hathaway invited me, but I don't like the Solomon family's young man, so I thought of sending a gift instead of attending the wedding," Janna Rhoads said naturally as she served Fiona some food. "But even if you don't like someone, you still have to put thought into a wedding gift. So I wanted to ask you about the Solomon family's young man's preferences.""I haven't really thought about that," Fiona replied calmly. "Since it's Miss Ross's invitation, shouldn't we focus on her preferences?""Yes, that seems reasonable," Janna Rhoads nodded. "Then let's give her a bracelet and a set of pure gold dragon and phoenix ornaments!"“Yes, the dragon and phoenix ornaments sound good,” Fiona agreed.Janna Rhoads looked at Fiona. This little girl didn't seem to be upset at all. If she wasn't
"Joshua!" Janna Rhoads hurriedly called for assistance.Amidst the chaos, Fiona unintentionally made eye contact with Joshua. His withered-like hand reached out towards her. His mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to speak."Ch-... child..."Joshua laboriously managed to utter two words. Before the medical staff could rush in to save him, the light in his eyes suddenly faded away, and his outstretched hand dropped heavily. The cardiac monitor emitted a harsh beep, announcing Joshua's death."Joshua!!!" Janna Rhoads rushed over and began crying inconsolably. After a brief moment of sobbing, Janna Rhoads suddenly fainted."Grandma Rhoads!" Fiona exclaimed.After the commotion settled, Janna Rhoads was also admitted to the hospital room. Using translation software, Fiona communicated with Stuart about Janna Rhoads' medical history. Thankfully, Janna Rhoads had always been in good health. It was simply an overwhelming sadness on this particular day. Stepping out of Janna Rhoads' hos
Stuart took over the responsibility. Madame Rhoads, being in a state of sadness, would be detrimental to her health. When Fiona spoke, Madame Rhoads smiled, and he stood there silly, laughing along with her.Janna observed the scene, feeling somewhat speechless. She said, "I can't understand a word, and I don't know what he's laughing about!"Fiona stroked her hand gently and said, "Because he sees you laughing, that's why he is happy too."Stuart was estimated to be over 6 feet tall. He had a large stature, dark skin, and somewhat fierce features. But when Janna fainted just now, Stuart had been wiping away tears, looking pitiful.Janna smiled with relief. She lowered her eyelids and patted Fiona's hand affectionately, saying in an adoring and gentle tone, "You, my dear, are still like a language of flowers, aren't you?"Fiona was genuinely surprised this time. "Grandma Rhoads, my grandmother used to praise me like that too. She even saved my contact as 'Little Language of Flowers' o
Alice's expression turned sour. She grabbed Kenji and walked toward Joshua's location. In a short while, the body would be taken to the funeral home. Per Joshua's instructions, there would be no funeral; instead, they would directly cremate and bury the ashes with his wife at the Yunnan tea flower forest."These old people are indirectly insulting me!" Kenji's face paled. He might not be as skilled in business as those geniuses, but he believed in his capabilities. He just lacked a bit of luck!"What about the successor? Your mother wouldn't be foolish enough to hand over the massive family business to an outsider, right?" Alice felt somewhat uneasy.She hadn't expected that after more than twenty years, the old lady would somehow discover the truth about what happened back then. Due to this revelation, she had severed ties with her and her husband. However, Alice thought to herself that Kenji was Janna' eldest son. She couldn't possibly give up her own flesh and blood for a woman fro
Chaos immediately broke out in the conference room."This is impossible! Where did Jane's daughter come from? She's already dead!!" Alice stood up, pointing at the lawyer. "Don't read it incorrectly! I can sue you!""Mrs. Ji, please calm down. To avoid any complications after the inheritance announcement, Mr. Joshua recorded a video in the presence of notary personnel." The lawyer raised his hand, signaling.The assistant immediately projected the video.After a brief snowflake pattern, the image appeared on the screen.Joshua lay on a hospital bed, looking withered but still somewhat spirited. The corner of the video displayed the time, recorded half a year ago.The earlier contents were indisputable.And then..."The final part, as well as all of my real estate, I want to leave to my adopted daughter Jane... No, to Carla Woods' daughter.""This is impossible!" Alice shouted loudly.Meanwhile, Joshua's words continued."Due to Jane's passing, I lost contact with my granddaughter. I h
Hospital Underground Garage.Fiona hastily arrived last night and only vaguely remembered the parking spot. She searched for a while before finding the car. At that moment, Darwin called urgently, once again.Fiona answered.“Mr. Solomon, I just found the car. Could you not rush me?”Darwin sneered. There was no sense of urgency in his voice. Tried to hide her displeasure.“It’s too late, coming back now won’t make it in time for dinner,” Fiona said."Can I..." She was cut off by Darwin hanging up without waiting for her to finish.Fiona smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth. It's amusing to see Darwin getting upset occasionally.Darwin called back, "What would you like to eat?" Darwin's attitude having softened a bit. "I've already ordered from the restaurant, it will be delivered straight to the apartment. You must be tired from this trip back. Going to the restaurant again would mean another trip.”"All fine," Fiona said while unlocking the car door."Not all, tell me what you
Eric lost control. He couldn't bear to watch Fiona retching like that anymore. He immediately went out and called for the maids."Take her to the bathroom! Wash every inch of her clean for me! And make her rinse her mouth at least ten times! Tear off the carpet and throw it out!" Eric paused for a moment, then seemed to think it wasn't enough. "No! Burn the carpet!"After a moment, a few maids walked in with solemn expressions. When they saw Fiona tied up, they were momentarily stunned. Mr. Eric had brought many women back before. But which one of them didn't cling to Mr. Eric like a vine, smiling and charming?This one...This one was clearly brought here against her will, right?"Miss, we'll take you to the bathroom..." The leading maid approached Fiona.Fiona glanced at her."Tied up to take a bath?"The maid looked somewhat embarrassed.Fiona sneered, "That beast used some kind of drug on me. My hands and feet are weak, let alone you four. I can't fight you alone."She didn't real
The bathrobe completely concealed what should have been alluring. But he didn't seem bothered. Compared to those women who stripped naked and seduced him immediately, this situation made him feel like he was unwrapping a present. "Eric, if you stop now and let me go, I can promise not to tell Darwin." As Eric closed in, Fiona stepped back. "You're right about what you just said, but there's one thing you still don't understand. Darwin won't easily forgive someone who messes with his things. Even if he doesn't do anything on the surface, he will definitely find a way to ruin you from behind." Fiona remained calm and continued speaking in a low voice. Eric's expression softened for a moment. Of course, he had thoroughly researched Darwin before considering cooperation with him. He knew how cunning Darwin could be behind the scenes. But... "Neither of us is an easy opponent," Eric said, his voice filled with determination. How could a few words possibly make him give up on obtaining F
