"I'm sorry, miss. We have strict rules here. The surveillance video can't be shown to others at will. I hope you can understand us!" "No! I just want to have a look. Can you make an exception for me? I'm really in a hurry." Elizabeth waved her hand and said anxiously. She hurried all the way from South Lake to Grand Dynasty Hotel and then went to the stairwell to have a look uneasily. There was really a security camera there. She went upstairs to find James, but no one replied to her in the room. She patted the door and called his name for a long time. In the end, the security guard came up and dragged her away, saying that she had disturbed others' rest. She knew that it was probably James's order. Although she was sad, she did not dare to delay. She went straight to the monitoring room in Grand Dynasty Hotel. However, no matter how she tried to persuade the staff, they did not allow her to see the surveillance video. In the end, she even alarmed the manager of the
James was lying on the sofa. On the tea table and the ground in front of him, there were several empty wine bottles. He was in a terrible mood. When he found that Elizabeth took contraceptive pills, although he was angry, he was not as powerless and disappointed as he was at this time. Yes, he was disappointed. He was disappointing at her, at himself, and at this originally warm and beautiful world. However, what a tragedy! Even if he was disappointed, he... With a headache, he covered his forehead and staggered to get another bottle of wine. His phone rang, but he didn't care about it. He held the bottle of wine numbly and kept drinking it. He had drunk a lot, but he didn't get drunk, and his mind was still so clear that he couldn't even fall asleep! After a while, the phone was still ringing. He heard the ringtone and got annoyed. Then he grabbed the phone on the table with irritation and pressed the answer button. "Do you want to die? Hic...
"Oh my god! Why have things become like this? You didn't have a bitter quarrel a few days ago!" Evelyn opened her mouth wide and stared at Elizabeth in disbelief. She knew that Elizabeth shouldn't have eaten the pills, and Elizabeth should have talked with James before she decided to take the pills. She understood why James lost his temper and got angry with Elizabeth. But no matter what, she was Elizabeth's best friend. Although she thought that Elizabeth had done something wrong, she could only let Elizabeth realize her mistake and stay with her to comfort her. However, why did things get worse in such a short period of time? With a sad face, Elizabeth leaned against the bed and looked at Evelyn sadly and hopelessly, "Evelyn, I really don't know what to do now. I went to find him today and just want to explain to him, but I..." Thinking of what had happened that day, she felt that she was going crazy. Evelyn sighed, put her arm around Elizabeth's shoulde
"What's the matter?" Evelyn frowned, "You are in a bad mood today, and you are busy looking for your husband, so I had no chance to tell you." "What on earth is it?" Elizabeth sat up straight and looked at Evelyn worriedly, "Tell me." She had felt much better because of Evelyn. Hearing what Evelyn said, she was really anxious, for fear that something bad had happened to her. "Well, do you still remember the scum, Lawrence?" Hearing this, Elizabeth nodded, "Of course." Lawrence had deceived Evelyn. How could she forget him? "What did he do?" Elizabeth was a little anxious, "Did he harass you again?" "No." Evelyn shook her head with depression and said bitterly with her shoulders dropped, "But, you know what? When I went to teach Frederick yesterday, I actually saw that Lawrence in Frederick's home!" She didn't even dare to believe it when she said this. She didn't want to have anything to do with Lawrence anymore, but she actually met her in Fre
Looking at the message on the phone, Elizabeth's face turned extremely pale and her body was trembling violently. "Elizabeth..." Evelyn was very anxious. Seeing Elizabeth like this, she felt distressed, "Are you... okay?" Elizabeth couldn't say a word. She sat on the sofa and didn't know what to do, like a piece of lifeless wood. She should have gone to prepare breakfast for James, shouldn't she? Why was she sitting here and watching these photos and videos? Were the scandals about her? How could it be? "Elizabeth, don't scare me." Evelyn frowned worriedly. Suddenly, she regretted showing these photos to Elizabeth. She woke up because she wanted to pee. At that time, Elizabeth was no longer on bed. She thought that Elizabeth must have gone to prepare breakfast for her husband, so she just smiled gently and turned on her mobile phone habitually after peeing, and then she saw those contents. On the school website of A University, Elizabeth's photos and
"You've offended someone." "......" "Do you forget Theodore? Although you didn't do anything bad, they all put their hatred on you. Besides..." The more Evelyn thought about it, the more she felt this was possible, "You had a quarrel with his family yesterday, and this matter happened this morning. I think it should be done by them." Elizabeth was stunned, "Is that so?" "I think there is a ninety percent chance." After thinking for a while, Elizabeth said, "Although what you said is reasonable, I don't agree with you. As I said, they can't even pay the medical expenses now, and they don't even have a place to live, so how can they..." Before she finished her words, Evelyn denied it, "I think it is completely possible. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. They still hate you, but... Alas, your husband has really caused lots of troubles for you." "It's not his fault." Elizabeth smiled, "He is just angry. Although he has gone too far, I really do
"Perhaps you have prepared something very well, but..." Josephine frowned and felt that what Zena was about to say might not be pleasant to hear, "But what?" Zena's eyes darkened. Regardless of her current relationship with Josephine, she said, "I may have promised to slander Elizabeth together with you. But since you don't even know such a small thing, I think it's necessary to tell you something." "......" "If this plan is carried out as we expected and we can get what we want, that will naturally be good, but if we fail..." Zena smiled faintly, "No, that's not right. In fact, no matter what the result is, I hope that we can reach a consensus. That is, about those photos and videos, you can't say we did it together. You did it alone. Do you understand what I mean?" "You... " Josephine went berserk, and the way she looked at Zena had changed. Zena was too despicable! Why did she say this all of a sudden? Josephine was not silly, so
"I said no! No matter what, I won't agree. Do you understand?" Zena said resolutely. James was going to divorce Elizabeth. It should be said that she would find a way to make them divorce. At that time... she might become Mrs. Lu soon. When she became Mrs. Lu, James and even Lu Enterprises were closely related to her. Moreover, James and Elizabeth got married secretly, so they should divorce secretly. That was better for her and James, wasn't it? She had never been married, so she really didn't want everyone to know that her husband had got married once. She was about to get married with her first love, but they suddenly broke up. She really didn't want others to say that she married a man who had divorced another woman... "You..." Josephine was anxious and annoyed, "Are you stupid?" Zena's expression turned cold, "No matter what you think, I won't agree." "Don't you want to get James?" "Of course I want! So, I won't agree with you doing
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
