Shortly after, Zach received a call from the bank manager. "Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Fisher. There's a Ms. Jenson here, and she wants to cash your check at our bank. Are you aware of this?"Zach replied, "Yes, I know about it. How much is she cashing?""100 million dollars, sir.""Alright, give it to her."The bank manager said, "Yes, Mr. Fisher."Zach smiled as he put down his phone. At first, he thought Chelsey would not cash too much. He had not expected that she would cash 100 million dollars.Nevertheless, the amount was insignificant to Zach."As long as she's happy," he mused.Lia, too, did not expect to get the money so easily.She had wanted cash, but 100 million dollars in cash was too much.The bank did not have that much on hand, either.Hence, they could only deposit it into her account.After getting the money, Lia's first move was to buy something from Hermès. She spent 100 thousand dollars in one go and immediately received a platinum bag featuring
Chelsey was not wearing any jewelry pieces. On the other hand, Jason had a diamond cufflink and a diamond tie clip.However, among the sea of jewelers, the duo appeared somewhat plain. Chelsey found a corner to stand. She was ready to admire all the top-notch jewelry in a few moments. It was rumored that a huge 300-carat diamond would be exhibited today, and the owner wanted to sell it that night.Chelsey was interested in that massive diamond.Even if she could not buy it, she wanted to examine it and broaden her horizons.Fortunately, she attended the jewelry exchange event as Jason's assistant. The moment they entered the venue, jewelers around the world surrounded Jason.Meanwhile, Chelsey could enjoy the fruits and pastries served there.The dessert spread was of good quality, and the petit fours were incredibly delicious.With a mouthful of mousse cake and a bite of tiramisu, Chelsey could not stop eating.Once she was full, she drank some freshly squeezed fruit j
The other wealthy women nodded in agreement."Yes, I can see that she's a freeloader. She has been eating non-stop, and I haven't seen her with anyone," one of them remarked.Another woman chimed in, "Get security to kick her out. Every attendee of this jewelry exchange event is a distinguished individual. We can't just let anyone in. Otherwise, something might go missing."After saying that, the affluent women called for security. Suddenly, Chelsey felt that her fruits were no longer appetizing. Despite her plain outfit, Chelsey couldn't believe they'd say she looked like a waitress.They even accused her of theft. Chelsey thought they were being ridiculous.The security guards arrived in no time. They politely asked if Chelsey had an invitation. Chelsey answered, "I don't have an invitation, but I—"Before she could finish speaking, the security guards were dragging her out.Chelsey resisted, yelling, "Let me go! I'm here with my boss!" The women who were observing t
In a flash, Chelsey pulled up her shirt.She glared at Lucas and scolded, "Are you out of your mind? This is the ladies' restroom. Why did you come in?"Lucas' handsome face had a subtle blush as he confidently replied, "You've been in here for so long. I was worried, so I came in to check on you."Chelsey frowned when she heard his explanation."Didn't you just say you don't know me? Why did you come looking for me? Just continue pretending we're strangers!" she retorted."Sorry."Lucas pursed his lips, hesitating to say more. "You're crazy! Get out!"Chelsey extended her hands to push Lucas out. However, he strode into the stall and embraced her tightly.Lucas really missed Chelsey. Thoughts of her filled his mind every waking moment.Chelsey found it difficult to breathe as Lucas held her too tightly."Let me go! Let go!" she demanded while pounding her fists on Lucas' chest.Lucas then whispered, "Give me one more month. I'll come to Westine to find you and Collie.
Even though Lucas and Timothy were once rivals, they found an unexpected connection through the same woman. Both of them wanted to protect Chelsey and Cole. They also hoped that the mother and son would be happy. Lucas was grateful to Timothy. "Thank you.""No need to thank me. When you're safe, take good care of Chels. If you mistreat her, I'll break your legs," Timothy threatened.Although he felt unwilling, there was nothing he could do. "Don't worry. I won't."Lucas added, "I'll treat the baby as my own and take good care of him."Timothy was speechless.He could not help but chuckle. How could Lucas be so foolish?He was not even aware that Cole was his child. No wonder Chelsey refused to deal with him and insisted on raising Cole alone. Timothy hung up the phone, tossed it on the spacious office desk, and continued working.After a busy morning, he took a break in the afternoon and headed to the Jenson residence.Timothy had been too busy lately. Thus, he on
There were only five necklaces of that kind nationwide.And each was priced at two million dollars.Lia's monthly allowance was only several thousand, so how could she afford a two-million-dollar necklace?At the sight of Timothy, Lia happily approached him and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Somner. Long time no see. Are you here to visit Chels and the baby again?""Yes," Timothy replied indifferently. He did not even avert his gaze to glance at Lia.Lia had always ignored Cole. But that day, she approached the baby and joyfully played with him.The scent of her perfume was overpowering. Timothy frowned and said straightforwardly, "Your perfume is too strong. Stay away from the baby. Otherwise, it might trigger rhinitis.""In that case, I'll return to my room to change," Lia answered, smiling awkwardly.After saying that, she walked into the house in her four-inch heels. Chelsey watched her retreating figure, lost in thought."What are you thinking about?" asked Timothy.Chelse
Lia frowned with disdain. "Chels, have you been through something? How could you go to the sperm bank? That's so disgusting!""What's disgusting about it? I get to select the best genes and have a beautiful baby. Besides, there's no one fighting me for custody. I think it's great."Chelsey lowered her head to glance at her obedient and cute baby. The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was that giving birth to Cole was wise.Chelsey would still be in her prime when Cole grows older. So it would not affect her career.Lia pursed her lips and replied, "No matter what, I won't have a child so early. I'm still a kid myself. Taking care of a child would make me a middle-aged woman."Chelsey, on the other hand, was calm. "Everyone has their own choices. I won't impose my thoughts on you. You don't need to impose yours on me. Isn't it good that we respect each other?"Lia countered, "Fine. I respect you. I can't stop you if you want to become a middle-aged woman. Do
Felicity's heart melted at the thought of Fred.After a prolonged silence, she awkwardly replied, "No, I won't. Your Uncle Fred will find someone better for him.""He might not find someone better. Maybe Uncle Fred will be a bachelor for the rest of his life. Fel, why don't you like him?"Chelsey could see that Fred had genuine feelings for Felicity. Felicity also seemed to have feelings for him. That was why Chelsey wanted to play matchmaker before Felicity left.Felicity remained silent. It was not that she disliked Fred. It was simply because she was afraid of marriage and did not want to be tied down.She preferred an unrestrained life.Chelsey earnestly persuaded, "Fel, please give Uncle Fred a chance. He really likes you and will definitely be a good husband. His character is impeccable."After living with the Jenson family for a while, Felicity had grown to like everyone except for Lia.Edward and Dianne treated her well. Sometimes, Dianne would wake up in the mi
