"......" James was silent and did not answer him. He was angry with Elizabeth indeed, but he could not tell John that it was because of her. Seeing that James didn't want to speak, John roared, "I'm asking you!" James thought about it and closed his eyes, "There's no reason." "You..." John took a deep breath and asked again, "What on earth is the reason?" James looked up at John, "It's just because I don't like this company. There is no other reasons. Don't ask me anymore." "You b*stard!" Hearing this, James laughed self-mockingly. B*stard? Well, he didn't care. "Have you been living a good life for too long? Huh?" John pointed at James, "If you think that you're tired of managing Lu Enterprises, there will be lots of people who want to replace you. If you keep making a fuss like this, Lu Enterprises will go bankrupt because of you sooner or later!" "Whatever." James nodded slightly, "You can continue to be the president. Xavi
Lydia followed James out of the house, but James had driven away. Thinking of the wound on James's forehead, she was so worried. She knew him too well. He wouldn't go to the hospital. She felt distressed and anxious. In the end, she had to call Elizabeth. No matter what, James would listen to Elizabeth. As soon as the phone was connected, Lydia exchanged the usual pleasantries with Elizabeth. When she was about to get down to the business, she suddenly didn't know what to say. John was her husband, while James was her son, and Elizabeth was her daughter-in-law. Should she tell Elizabeth that James was beaten by John and his forehead was bleeding and then ask Elizabeth to treat James's wound? What would Elizabeth think after she heard that? If she didn't tell Elizabeth that Jimmy was beaten John, how could James's forehead suddenly get hurt in his own house? She... really couldn't say it! So, in the end, she just said, "Oh, I just called to ask
When Elizabeth received a phone call from Lydia, she had just got off the car. Hearing Lydia's caring and considerate words, she felt so guilty all of a sudden. At that time, she almost wanted to say, "Mom, don't be so good to me. The better you treat me, the guiltier I will be." However, she bit back the words she would like to have said. She was afraid that not only James would ignore her, but her mother-in-law and father-in-law who she cherished and appreciated very much, would also be disappointed in her. After hanging up the phone, she melted into tears and bit her lip tightly. She felt so uncomfortable and painful in her heart as if her heart was wrenched by something. If she had known that James would be so angry, she would never do that. If she could meet Adele earlier and see how great mother's love was with her own eyes, she would not be so silly to eat the pills and make James so mad, and she wouldn't make herself so grieved. Fortun
Elizabeth was pulled to the stairwell next to the elevator by Theodore. Although Theodore said that, Elizabeth paid attention to his movements. No matter why Theodore was here, she was afraid that James would know that she was with Theodore at this time. However, just now, she was more afraid of being seen by the people in the lobby. If there was any rumour about her and Theodore, it would be more difficult for her to explain. However, if Theodore dared to take her out of Grand Dynasty Hotel, she would definitely not go out. Fortunately, he did not bring her out. Did he have something on James? What was it? But no matter what it was, she would never let Theodore threaten James with it. "Theodore, what do you want to say?" Elizabeth got rid of Theodore's hand, but this time, she shook off his hand easily. Theodore looked at Elizabeth who looked unhappy, and said with a sneer, "You are still as naive as before." Elizabeth immediately realized tha
Theodore smiled coldly, "Are you scared? Are you also afraid of death?" "......" "That's right." Theodore nodded gently, "You have found a rich and powerful husband, and you're living a good life. How can you be willing to die? But..." He exhaled heavily and said, "Since you're living so well now, why do you have to go against me? Huh? Did my parents treat you badly before? Are you utterly conscienceless?" Elizabeth shook her head desperately, "Let go... of me... ahem... first." She clenched her hands into fists, but she felt like she was about to suffocate and had no strength at all. She turned around to grab his wrist as tightly as she could, just to let Theodore let go of her. Looking at Elizabeth's red face and panicked and flustered expression, Theodore suddenly raised his head and laughed. "Ha-ha..." Elizabeth got more panicked, and she kept telling herself to keep calm. Otherwise, she would really die. Seeing that Theodore did not
"No..." Elizabeth kept shaking her head, and her face was as terribly ashy. Theodore didn't care whether she was willing or not. He moved the dagger closer to her and asked, "How about cutting your neck?" "Theodore... calm down." Elizabeth felt that she couldn't even speak fluently, but she couldn't let go of any chance to survive, so she stuttered, "Don't do this. You... are still young, and you have your parents. If you... die, what will they do?" "They..." Theodore's eyes dimmed, and his eyes and face were full of sorrow. He looked helpless and pitiful. Seeing this, Elizabeth felt that she had seen her hope, and she felt a little happy in heart. "Theodore, can you bear to die like this? What about uncle and aunt? Have you thought about their feelings? Don't be impulsive and calm down. Let's think of a way slowly, okay?" Theodore didn't answer her and just shook his head lightly. "You're still young. Don't be so excited. Can you chill out?" T
"Whether you believe it or not, I didn't do anything bad to your company. As for James..." Elizabeth pursed her lips and thought for a while before she replied, "I never ask about what he wants to do. He has been away from home for two days, so I don't know anything, and I don't know if it was him..." She glanced at the dagger which had been thrown not far away by Theodore, and she was afraid that what she was going to say would stimulate him. Therefore, she took two steps forward quickly and kicked the dagger downstairs. After a series of cracking sounds, the dagger rolled downstairs and fell to the ground next to the basement. After that, Elizabeth felt a little relieved. She came back, stood in front of Theodore, and sighed slightly. Although Theodore looked awkward and pitiful at this time, she said ruthlessly, "Theodore, I can't help you." After that, she didn't stay any longer, turned around, and wanted to leave. She couldn't stay in this place any
His light tone was somewhat mocking and indifferent. His voice was not big, but it sounded very loud in this slightly empty space. Hearing this, Elizabeth's heart missed a beat. At first, she was happy, but she became flustered in the next second because of the posture of her and Theodore... What would James think of her? Sure enough, when she turned her head and looked over, she saw that James stood at the landing with a gloomy face. He was looking in the direction of her and Theodore with a slight smile. He seemed to be looking at two strangers who had nothing to do with him, but he was frowning. "James..." Elizabeth hadn't seen him for two days. Seeing him, Elizabeth was happy, but she couldn't help but feel nervous and flustered at the same time. She didn't except that James would come here. However, it was not time to think about why he was here. She... According to her understanding of him in the past few months, he would completely misun
Time went by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, John was already sixty years old. He didn't like complicated things and didn't like to celebrate his birthday. However, Lydia insisted on holding a birthday party for him. Considering that he liked quiet atmosphere, Lydia didn't celebrate his birthday in style. She only invited some close friends. Benjamin and Isaac naturally went there. Arvis was already five years old. He was much more lively than a few years ago, but he was not particularly noisy. Adele was pregnant again. The child was less than five months old, but Isaac was very nervous and followed her everywhere. He was so careful that James and Benjamin couldn't stand him anymore. That day, James teased him, "Say, Isaac, why are you so cautious? Adele is not a porcelain doll. If you want to please her, you don't have to be so affected." Isaac handed a piece of apple to Adele. After she finished eating, he replied, "I love my wife.
John didn't expect that she would mention this matter on her own. He fell in love with her first and said that he wanted to get engaged to her, but she proposed to get married first. Was it even? However, he wasn't a strait-laced person. Besides, wasn't it a good thing that his beloved girl couldn't wait to marry him? If they got married, he could see her as soon as he got home from work, and she would accompany him for meals. If he worked at home, she would stay with him. When he woke up in the morning, he would see her sleeping face at once and say good morning to her. At night, they could sleep together. What a wonderful thing! They got married in early August. The wedding was very grand, and there were many guests. Almost everyone who had something to do with the Lu family and the Song family attended their wedding, and some even came from afar. The three floors in the most luxurious hotel in A City was filled to capacity. John would always
"Happy birthday to you!" She sang the birthday song softly. Her voice was dulcet and soft, and it was very pleasant to the ear. The candlelight on the cake flickered as she moved, and the fruit on the cake gleamed in the candlelight. As Lydia approached John step by step, he felt that he was going crazy. She preferred to wear dresses, but all her dresses were lovely. Sometimes, she wore like a read lady. But at this time... She wore a long black lace dress that only reached her bottom. It was so flimsy that he could see her underwear... Her bra and pants were red and sexy, which only covered the most important parts of her body... At this time, John was obsessed with her, and he was hot all over. He felt that all the blood in his body was boiling, and his head seemed to be a little dizzy. "John..." Lydia came to him and looked at him shyly. "Today is your birthday." He looked at her bright and affectionate eyes and couldn't help but
John's birthday was coming soon, and Lydia was very distressed, because she hadn't decided what to buy for him. It was in the dark ages of computing. There was a computer in her house, but the network was not very developed. Therefore, she only asked a few close friends about it. They told her that she could buy him tie, cuffs, and clothes, but she denied these ideas at once. John was born in a rich family. After he grew up, he became a very excellent businessman. He had received many expensive birthday gifts, let alone something like a tie. As his fiancee, she couldn't be perfunctory, could she? So, she went to the mall, but she didn't see anything she liked. It seemed that giving him a special and novel birthday gift was not easy. She didn't know how to make handwork or paint. She had learnt piano when she was young, but she gave up later. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly felt that she was so stupid. Except for the fact that she co
With the permission of Lydia's parents, John travel with her abroad for a few days. After coming back, he hired someone to teach her at home. Lydia had a feeling of freshness at the beginning. After all, she used to attend classes at school. At this time, she could learn knowledge at home. Moreover, the teachers were very careful and very patient. However, the next day, she was not willing to study like this, so she went to find John. "Why?" John was puzzled, "Is it because they can't teach their lessons well enough? If that's the case, I'll change new teachers for you tomorrow." "No!" She kept waving her hand, "They are very good teachers and they're patient, but..." She looked at him cautiously and thought twice before speaking, "They are just too patient, and they take good care of me as if I'm a child. I feel... a little stressful." John was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled, "Is this the reason?" "Yeah." Lydia nodded, "But I am not a chil
Lydia really didn't go to school anymore. Although all the misunderstandings had been clarified, she didn't want to go to school again. On the second day after she went through formalities, Nina came to her and asked for her forgiveness. At that time, John was there, but later he found an excuse and went out. Lydia looked at Nina who had suddenly become much more haggard and sighed in heart. Why did Nina have to provoke her back then? "I'm sorry." Nina said softly. "Oh." Hearing this, Nina immediately got unhappy and glared at her with hatred, "Lydia, are you very smug now?" She was apologizing to Lydia, but Lydia actually replied to her so indifferently. Lydia shrugged her shoulders, "Do you think I'm smug now?" "I'm apologizing to you!" "I heard it. Didn't I answer you as well?" "You..." Nina sneered, "Is that your answer?" "What do you expect?" Lydia was puzzled, "How do you want me to answer you? Should I thank you w
Nina's voice came from the stereo around the playground. She had said a lot. There were so many people on the sports ground, but none of them spoke. They were all shocked and stunned. "As for what I said to Lydia, it was my prank. Actually, Lydia's fiance has nothing to do with me. I... just envied her for having such an excellent fiance and I was jealous. Therefore, I did that to her that day..." After she said this, the crowd, which had been quiet, suddenly burst into an uproar. "Oh my god! How could it be?" "I heard that she was very excited that day. She cried, knelt in front of Lydia and begged her. But she said it was a prank?" "She couldn't do that even if she wanted to prank on Lydia, could she? That is Lydia's fiance." "I don't think it's a prank. I was in the dormitory at that time and I saw it with my own eyes. Nina looked really sad. In my opinion, Lydia must have put pressure on Nina, so Nina has to do this." "Lydia's family
As soon as Lydia entered the school, she walked with her head down, because she was afraid of meeting acquaintances. Besides, with John holding her hand, she did not have to worry that she would fall down. After what had happened yesterday, she... had become quite well-known in school. "Lydia, look up." His voice was very soft, but she was somewhat pressurized. She gave him a resentful look, "Do you even want to force me to raise my head?" He chuckled, "Didn't you listen to my words carefully just now?" "Yeah." Lydia snorted, "But I came in here, didn't I?" She said, "You said those words indeed, and I think it makes sense, but... John, it's hard for me to do it, okay? I know I'm not wrong, but I'm very worried. You are not me, so you won't understand my mood." John sighed lightly and didn't know what to say at the moment. Although he didn't talk much in ordinary times, he did things in a decisive manner. Perhaps, he really had no way to
"John, you're here?" Nina ran into the house with great joy. Just now, she went out, but when she knew that he had come here, she rushed back, for fear that she would miss him. Fortunately, he had not left yet. Looking at John who was sitting in the living room, she was very happy, and her heart jumped very fast. John was very excellent, and she was infatuated with him. Although she had done such a thing, she didn't regret it at all. As long as she could be with him, she couldn't care about so much. That day... why on earth did he come here? Was it because Lydia couldn't stand it anymore and broke up with him? Had he found out how good she was? John raised his head and took a look at her. His eyes were very bland. When she was about to walk over, John stood up. He arranged his suit and said to her father, "I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer as I said. I hope to hear it tomorrow." Her father's face darkened, but he didn't dare to lose
