Finneas knew that Pierre was insulting him, but he could not explode in anger.Right now, Lake Corporation needed help to get itself out of the dire situation. He had to lower himself and get the support of JNS Corporation. Knowing that many companies in Astoria were competing for JNS Corporation's partnership, he could not afford to put dignity before opportunity. Otherwise, he would lose out in the stiff competition."I was too rash just now. It's all my fault. I'll treat you to a meal one day and apologize formally to Selena. How does that sound? Hmm... Forget about picking a date. Let's make it today!"Pierre finally set his gaze on Finneas. "A formal apology? Alright. I'd love to see how you're going to apologize for slapping her."Selena had been staring intently at Finneas all the time.Indeed, she wished to see how low Finneas could stoop in order to partner with JNS Corporation.At that time, Finneas started to feel ashamed.He did something abominable-slapping Selena. Based
Finneas finished picking up the bills, straightened his back, and handed the money to Selena. “Selena, didn’t you say that these are not enough? How much do you want? I will prepare the amount later.”Gazing into his ‘sincere’ eyes, she was momentarily speechless. Pierre unexpectedly accepted the stack of bills and said, “Alright.”Finneas instantly beamed at him, thinking that everything was settled. “In this case—”Before he could finish his sentence, Pierre slapped the bills back onto his face. “She will get any amount of money she needs from me. She doesn’t need your money.”The bills hit Finneas on the face, but he bit his lip and smiled widely.“President Lake, you’re quite resilient. I’m in awe of you. So, alright, we shall consider this issue settled,” Pierre remarked.After hearing that, Finneas finally let out a huge sigh of relief. His endurance and efforts had not gone to waste. He commented, “We got to know each other better through this misunderstanding. Next time, I sha
“Miss Yard, you’re pregnant with triplets, and the fetuses are all healthy.”The doctor’s words were still echoing in Selena’s head as she held her waist with one hand and a 4D ultrasound report in the other. She was already seven months pregnant, and because there were triplets, she was bigger than other pregnant women. In fact, she was even bigger than those women who were about to give birth.They didn’t manage to obtain good pictures of the three babies with the previous scans, but she finally had the pictures she wanted this time. I’m gonna show them to Finneas! He’ll definitely be very happy to see them.After walking for a while, she grew tired and started panting, so she found a bench and sat down. Then, she stared at the examination report in her hands; the faces of the three babies were clearly visible.“Who do you look like? Like your dad, or like your mom?”Suddenly, a slender hand reached outand snatched the report away from her.When Selena looked up sharply,she saw a fam
Four years later at Dynasty Bar, loud music that constantly stimulated one’s eardrums and provoked every nerve in a person’s body could be heard.Suddenly, a line of men in black suits moved into the doorway. In the Bentley at the entrance sat a man with an expression so frosty that it seemed as if his face was carved out of ice. He was handsome like a Greek God and exuded a compelling aloofness. His face carried a trace of arrogance that suggested he was always looking upon all life forms beneath him.This was Pierre Fowler, the most impressive man in Digton City.“Mr. Fowler, the last location of the spy was inside this bar,” said Niall, his special assistant who was bending toward him outside the car.“Clear the place.” Pierre opened his thin lips slightly and spoke, his voice thick and magnetic.As the people came out from inside, they were herded into a big truck. Although they screamed and cursed, they didn’t dare to make any move because they knew they couldn’t afford to mess w
Everyone heard Selena’s shout. Pierre was the most stunned of them all, and he turned to look toward the source of the voice, only to see a girl swaying her way toward him. She had a youthful face with a full forehead, small cheeks that were a rosy shade, as well as long black hair that fell over her shoulders seductively and messily like a waterfall.The girl rushed over and grabbed Pierre’s collar, causing all the bodyguards at the scene to be dumbfounded. Who would have thought that such a girl would dare to grab Pierre’s collar? Did she have a death wish?When they were about to go over and pull her away, Pierre waved his hand.Then, Selena stared at him, the look in her eyes one of confusion. “Hmm? You don’t look like a bad old man at all!” He’s clearly a man who’s outrageously handsome!He was so handsome that women would fall over themselves for him. At the sight of such a hunk, Selena immediately gulped and put on a gorgeous smile.In response, Pierre raised his eyebrows and h
When Selena jerked the car door open, Jameson was seen munching on potato chips in the car, while Joaquin was frowning and sitting with his arms and legs crossed, looking like an adult.“Pretty lady, you’re back!” Jameson grinned. “Do you want to eat this? It’s super delicious! I’ve never eaten anything so delicious before! My brother said this is junk food, but even if it’s junk, it’s still delicious. Do you want to eat it? I purposely saved some for you.”Selena rolled her eyes. That’s my snack, okay? She had snacks placed in a compartment in the car, but at the moment, they had all become empty bags. However, since the boy still knew that he should save a little for her, and he looked so cute, she decided to forgive him.“Thank you.” Selena stroked Jameson’s little head. “But I didn’t meet the bad old man you mentioned last night.”Joaquin quickly said, “I guess he didn’t come then.”“Oh, in that case, where should I send you guys now?” Selena didn’t care too much. It was just a ba
Later, a line of people surrounded Villa No. 3 in Dragon Gardens. Then, Pierre could be seen getting out of the car, and his dark eyes flashed with a chilly light as he surveyed the villa.Last night, the spy’s GPS information was located in the bar, and the woman just so happened to be there and even took the initiative to appear before him. Now, his sons had disappeared with this woman, and it just so happened that this woman was also neighbors with him. This was all too much of a coincidence.Niall came forward and asked, “President Fowler, should we go in?”“Retreat.”“What?” Niall couldn’t believe his ears. It had been so hard for them to locate them and carry out the blockades, but now, they were to retreat?“Retreat,” Pierre repeated, his voice devoid of all emotion. He had never liked to explain anything to other people.Naturally, Niall understood Pierre’s character. Any decision Pierre made naturally had its reasons, so Niall had no choice but to get everyone to retreat agai
The door opened a crack and a small head poked out. "Where is our daddy?""He's downstairs, so don't worry. Since I'm here, he won't dare to bully you." Then, Selena glanced downstairs and asked, "Are you hungry? Go down and eat!"Jameson pushed his brother out first before he timidly followed along; he was really very hungry.The two little ones came downstairs together to the living room. When he caught the aroma from the pineapple rice on the dining table, Jameson immediately forgot that his scary daddy was still there. Then, he scampered to the chair and said, "Wow, this smells way too good! I'm gonna dig in now!"Selena hastily handed the spoon to Jameson, who picked it up and began to dig in. Compared to Jameson, Joaquin looked much calmer and ate the rice unhurriedly."Mmm, it's delicious. It's so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious rice before!" Jameson mumbled with his mouth full of food."Eat more if it's delicious." As she looked at Jameson eating so happily, Selena
