On Elizabeth Liang's way to dinner, she took some time to call James Lu. However, she hung up a second after she made the call. She would probably be better off making a difficult request like this over a text message. Otherwise, she'll probably have to bear through another roaring temper tantrum from that angry little lion. As Elizabeth thought about this, her delicate fingers danced across the screen - James, are you busy? James was having an overseas video conference with several of the company's senior executives, when his muted phone suddenly started buzzing on his desk. The sound was obviously quite obtrusive in such a quiet room. When all the people in the room collectively looked toward his cellphone, James furrowed his eyebrows and secretly cursed at whomever was texting him. James glanced at the screen and saw that it was Elizabeth. He gritted his teeth, but still picked up his phone with a composed expression. Without getting up, he put hi
"Elizabeth," When Margot Wang entered the private suite, she headed straight to Elizabeth Liang and sat down next to her. She glanced at the untouched glass of juice, then calmly picked it up and handed it to her. "Here's your juice." Elizabeth felt a little overwhelmed by how thoughtful Margot was being. Although she didn't really want to drink it, she was too gracious to turn down Margot's hospitality and took the glass, "Thank you." "You're welcome." Another person who was close to where they were noticed the situation and kicked up a fuss, "Why are you playing favorites, Margot? How come only Elizabeth gets a juice?" "Yeah! You're so nice to Elizabeth, Margot." Elizabeth awkwardly opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Margot smiled playfully and said, "Of course I am, she's the prettiest girl in our department. Shoo, shoo, now go off and play somewhere else!" The crowd was just teasing them, so they smiled and went back to pl
Evelyn Wu was tired from singing, and her throat was parched. She put down her microphone and wanted to get a drink from where she was sitting before. But she was surprised to find that Elizabeth Liang wasn't there, nor anywhere else in the room. "Huh... where's Elizabeth?" Evelyn took a sip of beer to moisten her throat and sat down. But she began getting nervous after a while since Elizabeth still wasn't back. Places like these were always messy and unsafe. Evelyn prayed that nothing bad has happened to Elizabeth. Distraught, she picked up her phone and tried to call Elizabeth. However, after one ring, she saw a phone that was lit up and buzzing on the table before her - Elizabeth didn't even take her phone! Evelyn waited patiently for a long time, but Elizabeth was nowhere to be seen. Evelyn couldn't sit still any longer. She grabbed Elizabeth's cellphone and stood up, then began going around the room and questioning her classmates. They wer
The door was opened from the outside. Only a dim yellow wall lamp was turned on in the room. The man who entered looked at the woman on the bed who was squirming slightly, and his lips curled in satisfaction. He closed the door and walked in step by step as he unbuttoned his shirt. The man wasn't wearing much in this summer weather. Soon enough, he had taken off his shirt and pants, leaving only a pair of tight briefs. His fat and bulging body crawled onto the bed and gently lifted the sheets. He watched the petite woman under the sheets. Every inch of her skin was flushed red, and she was anxiously and restlessly writhing around. A devilish smile appeared on his face. "Feels bad, doesn't it, honey?" Elizabeth Liang felt as if her whole body was burning, and the heat made her so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry. She was barely conscious at this point. She heard the voice in a daze and nodded desperately. It felt so bad. "Don't w
James Lu closed the door with his foot and carried Elizabeth Liang, who was barely conscious, up the stairs. The way he walked was urgent but incredibly steady, each step he took was strong and steadfast. "So hot..." Elizabeth mumbled in irritation. She currently felt as if she was stuck in a barren desert, choking from the heat and breathless from her thirst. She wanted to go out and find a stream to submerge herself in, so that she could escape from this burning emptiness. She rubbed her head against James's chest and clung to his shoulders. His cooler body temperature made her sigh with content. As the woman in James's arms let her hands freely roam around his body, he frowned and growled through gritted teeth, "F*cking stop it!" His command did nothing to stop her movements, if anything they grew even more audacious. "..." Utterly speechless, James quickened his pace. He finally arrived before Elizabeth's room. James effortlessl
"Are you trying to break my doorbell like this?" James Lu angrily pulled opened the door and looked at the person standing outside with exasperation and fury. Isaac Bai snorted and slipped into the house with his medicine chest. "Look how petty you are! You're the one who told me to rush over here ASAP! Well, now that I came here in a hurry, you're losing your temper at me? Really?" Isaac looked suspiciously at James, who had closed the door and was following behind him. After some careful examination he said, "Hmm... something's up with you!" "Right, my a*s!" "You sure?" Isaac raised his eyebrows at James, clearly unconvinced. "Your clothes are crumpled and your hair is in a mess. Did you just roll out of bed?" "Ahem..." James coughed a little unnaturally. "What?" Isaac glanced upstairs and gave James a curious wink. "Did you take care of it already?" Ugh! If Isaac hadn't arrived so perfectly on time, James might've been a third of the way thr
"Sign your name if you don't have any objections." The person recording the interrogation casually threw him the record book. His voice was flat and carried a hint of disdain and impatience. Looking at the words written on it, President Lee's face turned ghastly pale and his lips couldn't stop trembling. He had recounted the events truthfully, but the record was almost entirely different from what he said. They made this record with him only as a formality. The contents of it described everything as his fault, every single detail of it from beginning to end! "Make sure you answer nicely later. Don't make any trouble for me, otherwise..." James Lu's words echoed in his ears over and over again, crushing his sanity. President Lee was sitting in a tiny chair, and the clothes that he had put on in a hurry were all crumpled. He was slightly bent over and his face was covered in black and blue. It was clear at a glance how violently he was beaten. Presiden
Josephine Liang arrived at the location Director Chen gave her and opened the door. The polite smile on her face disappeared when she saw that Director Chen was alone in the room. She asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that Mr. Chang was here? Why are you here alone, Director Chen?" Director Chen, who was drinking tea, answered with a smile, "Mr. Chang had just gotten off the plane and is on his way here." Director Chen continued to fiddle with the small teapot on the table. "Josephine, my superstar, come and sit here." Josephine was still thinking about what happened with President Lee and was in no mood to drink tea. "Director Chen, since you don't know when Mr. Chang is going to come anyway, can I just leave for today?" "Do you know what you're saying?" Director Chen frowned slightly. "Mr. Chang is in a hurry to see you first thing when he comes back. Do you know what that means? Josephine, I know that you're a rich heiress now and that you have a handsome an
