James didn't go home the next day. She didn't know what he was busy with, but she was too embarrassed to ask. After all, as a "friend", she didn't feel right to ask him. If so, she would be embarrassed. On the third day, Elizabeth finished her work early. After telling the receptionist, she carried her bag to A University. Today is the day to announce the grades. She got out of the bus at the west gate. She made an appointment with Evelyn to wait here. When she just walked to the gate, she found that Evelyn was already waiting there. She was eating an ice cream and holding another in her hand. "Evelyn," Elizabeth walked over and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?" Evelyn's teeth ached because of the ice that she had just a bit. She opened her mouth to breath while shaking her head at her. After she recovered from that cold, she said, "No, I just arrived." With this, she handed the ice cream in her hand to Eliz
"Assistant Lee, may I ask where are we going?" Elizabeth asked as she got in the car. As Samuel turned the steering wheel, he apologetically replied, "Well..." Thinking of what his president asked, he gave her a vague answer. "Young Madam, please just go with me." Young Madam... This was not the first time that Samuel addressed her in this way. In the past two days, Jane also called her "Mrs. Lu". At first, she felt awkward and a little bit wired. However, the little joy in her heart couldn't be suppressed. After all, it was because they got married. Elizabeth pretended to ask casually, "Where is James?" "The president still has something to deal with, so I am coming to pick you up for the time being." "I know." Elizabeth nodded. Thinking that she hadn't seen him for two days, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is your company very busy recently?" He didn't go home for two days. Thinking of what Lu Enterprises was busy with, Samuel Le
When they arrived at the underground parking lot, James had not come yet. Samuel unlocked the car. "Young Madam, please wait in the car for a while. You're wearing high heels today. You'll be tired if you stand for a long time." "Okay." Elizabeth nodded. "What about you?" "Me?" Samuel waved his hand. "I've sent the president the location where we parked the car when we were upstairs. He'll come directly here later. I'll wait outside so that he won't walk past our car." As he said this, he smiled uneasily. Elizabeth looked at him, but felt that he didn't seem to be like what he had said—to wait for James to come. Instead... it seemed that he was still feeling embarrassed about what had happened just now. Thinking of this, she did not say anything and got into the car alone. About ten minutes later, James drove over. He drove very fast, as if he was in a hurry. After seeing Samuel, who was waving to him, he found a parking space near their car.
Looking at the streets which were getting more and more familiar, Elizabeth couldn't help but become nervous. She could clearly remember those roads and the scenery on the streets with her eyes closed. Even if she didn't come for some time because she was afraid of being homesick and sad, she had walked through them for more than a decade. How could she not know them or not be familiar with them? Why did James bring her here? She couldn't help but guess in her heart. She was a little nervous and excited, but she didn't dare to ask. She was afraid that they were was just passing by, or going somewhere just nearby. After passing through Jinyu Road, the car turned around at the intersection and entered Boming Road. Looking at the door that was getting closer and closer, her heart almost raised to her throat. She was excited and uneasy. She bit her lips tightly, and her hands were tightly holding one side of her dress. The strength was so strong that the hem o
She was led into the door by James, and the familiar structures and furnishings in the house made Elizabeth's nose sour again. Finally, she was back in this place. They walked through the foyer in a few steps. As soon as she was led by him to the living room entrance, she saw her uncle's family all sitting on the sofa. Beside each of them stood a tall man in a black suit with a sunken face. Her uncle August put his elbows on his knees and smoked in silence with a tight frown. He already had a lot of gray hair. Charlotte sat there crying, while Josephine just sat there with a pale face. Her lips were pursed tightly and no one knew what she was thinking. "Mr. Lu!" The man in the black suit who saw them first, greeted them respectfully. James did not answer, but just nodded slightly. Hearing the word "Mr. Lu", August's indifferent and cold eyes became relieved. Almost the moment he saw Elizabeth, a bitter smile crept over his face. Josephine's body froz
"......" Hearing this, except for the few men in black, all the people turned pale. Elizabeth's body trembled, and she couldn't help but look up at James. The protection in his words made her no longer calm. Her blood was boiling like it was on fire. She was completely frozen there. She stared at his good-looking face for a moment. She was so moved that her eyes were full of the gratitude of being well protected. And she had guessed a little bit when James asked August to pack up and leave. Now she heard the conversation between him and August. No matter how stupid she was, she probably knew the reason why he took her here today. She looked around the living room slowly, and her heart beat faster and faster. When she was considering to marry him, she told him the conditions of the marriage. In her memory, he did not promise her personally that he would help her get those things back. In recent days, she didn't mention it, nor did he mention
"..." August wiped his face in silence. Then he accepted his fate and said, "Go to pack up your things." "..." Charlotte was stunned and looked at August incredulously. She shook her head vigorously. She really couldn't accept August's decision. "August! You are such a loser! Do we have to do what they say? You don't even know how to argue, do you? My daughter and I have endured so many years of poverty and aggravation in this home. We deserved everything we worked so hard to get! You listen up! This house is mine! I'm not leaving! I will never leave! " "Charlotte!" August Liang sighed, but he didn't know what to say. After all, he was the one who made the mistake. "You deserved everything?" James repeated this sentence with wondering and looked at Charlotte sarcastically. "You are such a shameless freak." As soon as he finished his words, his face instantly changed. "Now that you have said what you want to say. Pack up all your things and get out of here quickly. Don
Thinking of what James said just now, Charlotte knelt down in front of Elizabeth without thinking. Elizabeth was frozen. She didn't expect Charlotte to really kneel down to her. To be honest, she hated her uncle's family. But when she faced Charlotte's behavior, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Before she did anything, James, who was next to her, sneered and said, "Is this all your family's sincerity?" As he said this, he glanced at Josephine. Josephine was stunned by Charlotte's sudden kneel. And now when she received James's obvious glance, she immediately opened her eyes wide and cried exasperatedly, "Do you want me to kneel down to her? Impossible!" Almost as soon as she finished her words, Charlotte grabbed her wrist and pulled her down. "Josephine, think about your father!" "..." Hearing this, Josephine felt so upset that she wants to cry. She couldn't say anything. For Dad's sake... Josephine resigned to her fate and closed her eye
