Arielle nodded, "Then you can go." Claudia came over, reached out, and took Arielle's hand, "Arielle, Auntie also wants to take you in, but this invitation letter is really rare. I only got one invitation letter today, I'm afraid I won't be able to take you in." Arielle took her hand out of hers, "No need.""Then go back early, don't linger here," Claudia warned again."Yeah, sister, you and others should also stand farther away, it's easy to misunderstand you, thinking that you want to go in, the banquet of the Franchise family, you can't get the invitation letter, and you want to go in to mix with people you know well. More to go." Anabel covered her lips and smiled, and then pulled Claudia, "Mom, let's go in quickly, we shouldn't be late."Claudia smiled at Arielle again and then went in with Anabel after checking the invitation letter.On the way, Anabel chuckled and said, "Mom, I guess Arielle wants to come in too, but look at what she's wearing." Claudia also curled her lips and
Claudia was also a little surprised, but seeing Arielle dressed like that, she didn't think Arielle was there to attend the banquet, she whispered, "Maybe she came in with the servants."Anabel sneered coldly, "Arielle is really worthless, if I let my dad know what she looks like now, my dad will definitely of her as wasteful and useless. This is an event for the upper class and she dares come here all dressed in rags just to show how wrongly she is treated back home this will bring so much shame to him., I have to take a picture for my dad to take a good look at. Look." Claudia did not stop Anabel's actions.After the photo was taken, Anabel went to the servant next to her. She pointed to Arielle and said, "Did you see that someone has sneaked in? Why don't you drive her away? This is a banquet for the upper class and I am dead sure no one will want to have a look at how unkept and undressed she is for the occasion, not to mention your boss won't be happy when she comes out and find
in the lounge, Mrs. Franchise took a bunch of clothes and put them on the sofa, "Hey bestie, help me choose, which one I should wear After all, I want to see my future daughter-in-law, so I can't be a mother-in-law. Shame, help me make a first good impression" Mrs. Lawson looked at her messy sofa and rubbed her forehead, "I said Frankcine, when will you ever clean up?""What's the matter? I've always been like this. Didn't you help me clean up before?" Mrs. Franchise was still coquettish in front of Mrs. Lawson like a little girl. "Look, your son is in his twenties, and you are going to be a mother-in-law, and maybe a grandma in the future, how can you still be like this."Mrs. Lawson felt a little defeated, she has never won an argument with her.."Oh, I understand, but today is an exception. Today, my son and your niece have a blind date, I have to clean up, and I have to give myself some mother-in-law points." Mrs. Franchise said while holding her clothes and gesturing in front o
The three circled around a rock and came to a place full of lavender. The lavender flowers were about to bloom, and the purple-blue flower buds swayed in the wind, sending bursts of fragrance, which can soothe the restless mind. Arielle remembered that there was also such a piece of lavender in the copy of the game There was a hidden task in it. The hidden task was done by the husband and wife together. Test the love between couples.The probability of triggering the hidden task itself is not high, and the one-year-long task process has not been completed by any couple so far. Arielle bent her lips and followed Mrs. Franchise for a while. There was a flower field in front of it, and there were actually several little white rabbits jumping in it, and it was the picture in the copy of the game... How much does the person who designed this garden love the game? Arielle was a little curious.The three walked over from here and finally came around to the garden. Everyone has been seated, a
The mothers could not help admiring the two love birds they were trying to bring close to each other talk. They were gushing all over them. At this time, the people sitting at other tables also came to say hello to Nathaniel. Nathaniel is the only son of the Franchise family. He has been outstanding since he was a child. When he was studying, he skipped two grades in elementary school, one grade in junior high school, and one grade in high school. Therefore, he finished college four years earlier than other people.Just when everyone thought he would continue his studies, he did not continue reading.Everyone thought he would go back to the Franchise family and start getting in touch with the family's business, but he didn't either. Instead, he chose to start his own business and built an industry that couldn't compete with his family's industry of online games. Stunned. But what people didn't expect was that he actually did a very good job and created his own world. The first game
Nathaniel reached out and poked her on the forehead, "Why don't you make a sound when you're being bullied? Won't you give me a call? Let me see if I don't press down on that pair of dogs and girls." Arielle reached out and rubbed her forehead, but her eyes were slightly sore.She still remembered her previous life. She fell out with Nathaniel because of Edward. He hadn't returned to the country for many years and never contacted her again. She knew that his mobile phone number had never been changed, but she didn't have the face to contact him again…Fortunately, in this life, everything has changed, her legs are still there, and so are her friends.She held back the tears in her eyes and said with a smile: "Who can bully me, usually I bully others, don't worry about my affairs, I can handle my family affairs well, and others will take care of me. What they take away from, I will take it back one by one with my own hands.”"Okay, this is the Arielle I know. If you need my help in th
However, even if she was drunk, her mind was still awake, and her footsteps were a little vain. She stretched out her hand and pulled Leonard Grey, but lowered her voice and said in his ear, "Don't show your stuff."Leonard Grey put his arms around her waist, she turned around, stared at him, gritted her teeth, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?""In order not to reveal the stuff." Leonard Grey curled his lips and smiled at her, his eyes full of doting. Arielle gritted her teeth, "Don't touch it, if you dare to take the opportunity to eat out of my plate, I will deal with you later." Leonard Grey let out a low laugh, and half-supported her and put her back on the sofa, then looked at Nathaniel, "I'm sorry, my girlfriend has caused you trouble, she's an average drinker. "Nathaniel stared blankly at Leonard Grey, "You, you are..." "My name is Leo." Leonard Grey stretched out his hand. Nathaniel was stunned for a while, before reaching out and shaking his hand. It was imposs
After a few minutes, she blinked and sat up blankly. When she sat up, she realized that she was actually lying in Leo's car. At this moment, the car seat was put down like a small bed.The roof opened into a convertible, and his coat was over her. His nostrils were full of the good smell of tobacco on him.Arielle reached out to open the door, and Leonard Grey, who was standing not far away smoking, heard the sound, put out the cigarette, and walked over."Awake?" Probably because he had just smoked, his voice was a little hoarse, but the hoarseness was just right, magnetic and astringent, like a salty hand touching his heart."Yeah," Arielle responded. For some reason, her face became a little hot. She thought that she probably drank too much."Then go in." He opened the car door and let Arielle get out of the car. The car was parked in front of Arielle's villa at the moment. The villa was built in the suburbs, so the starry sky is still beautiful."Why didn't you wake me up?" Ariell
EPILOGUE. It's been months since the death of Sir Lucas, while everything he had was sold and dropped into the bank of Anabel, Arielle made sure to tell Claudia her last wish was fulfilled. It's been exactly 3 months and things have been going smoothly. Lovert was doing much better and had long moved in with Arielle. The company Daniel did him so much good, they were best buddies. Arielle runs into the bathroom for the 4th time this morning throwing up yet again. Leonard patted her on the back to ease her pain. She had been like this for a couple of days and despite her pleas not to take her to the hospital, Leonard was done with her stubbornness. He handed her a glass of water. Within 5 days he had lost so much weight and looked too fragile. Arielle did not want to go in order not to make Lovert worry. He was so protective of her reason why she avoided him and only met during dinner. ‘’Gai, please help arielle get ready, while I get the car’’ Leonard walks out before she can prot
“‘Mr. Lovert Greek Garn, Cowell, you are here under arrest for the murder of Lucas Cowell, we advise you to remain silent for anything you say or do would be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney and if you can't afford one, one would be appointed for you’’ Arielle watched as the dirty cop placed Lovert under arrest. He did not resist arrest, he was in so much shock. He had been in his sister's embrace and was pulled away by the cop. ‘’Little girl, I would advise you to get him a good lawyer, because even with it, I doubt he would be able to see the light of day. Just when they were about to drag out of the building, Leonard noticed the commotion and ran right through the crowd. The press had not gained access. While paparazzi were fun to sneak in, they all knew better than to interfere. It was the Cowell family, but it directly involved the Grey household. Guards of the Grey family were stationed all over the property. While the doctors and all othe
Peace was gradually returning to their lives. Lovert has been staying in the Cowell mansion ever since the death of Grandpa Lambad. He felt living there would bring him close to his mother and also the grandfather he did not get the chance to meet. Due to the recent outbreak of cold fever, He has been extremely busy and the paparazzi did not make things easy for him. He spoke to his big sister every day despite how busy his schedule became. He was more than proud of her, she was declared the 2nd wealthiest after Leonard Grey. indeed they deserved each other, a queen and a king. Lovert got home late, his shift had extended more than he had hoped. He so much wished he could stop by and enjoy dinner with Areille but by the time he was done with work, it was way past midnight. He was too tired to drive, so he called for a cap. The drive home was rather long. He had fallen asleep, the cab driver was the one to wake him up. Lovert was barely awake as he walked his way to Arielle’s room.
The company was doing even better. Arielle walked in as everyone greeted her, she was now the CEO. while Arnold could not help but sneer, it did not border her. With the scandal Anabel had brought yet again, shares were auctioned and thanks to her wonderful husband, all of it was acquired. Now she was the sole owner, just like the Grey empire. Lovert did not want to get involved in the business. The board meeting was set and ready to begin. “We have gone through so much change within a short period and I must congratulate everyone for their hard work and patience. We have been on our feet to do what's best for the company and so far we are winning. Today, I would like to announce the new general manager, Mrs. Kendra Colson’’ Kendra stood up and greeted everyone. So many had not taken notice of her presence before the presentation, while those who did shrug it off as a partner. Arnold was fuming, he knew this day would come now that everything was out in the open. ‘’What about the
The Cowell family was in another dimension of problems. After the press release, Claudia has not been able to get her husband to believe she was innocent. She had to disown her child to prove to him how sincere she was. Grandfather Lambad stayed up all night with Mr Greekgarn. The Greek Garn family would still have Lovert as their heir and his name would not be changed but only the Cowell name could be added. It was a great change since they had nothing against them, the Cowel family accepted. It was their son, he was their blood, however, he was not theirs to keep, they were the ones who had thrown him away from the beginning. Mr Lambad could not sleep, the noise coming from the front made it impossible. Grace helped him out of his quarters to the front, Lucas sat on the couch while his tramp for a wife was on her knees begging for god knows what. ‘’Why can't the both of you keep it down? You can't handle keeping peace at home how do you expect to raise a decent daughter?’’ Mr Lam
The Grey home was in a mess, while some staff got fired due to their involvement, others learned a good lesson. The Matter of the boss was not something to interfere with. Gai made the bed for Arielle, she had very little to eat and has not rested ever since Anabel walked out. Lovert was by her side. He was not willing to leave his sister all alone yet again for the second time. Leonard had some house conflicts to settle. In years, it was the very first time the Grey household was meeting, from uncles to cousins and nieces. Leonard was more than pleased to accommodate them while Uncle Mathew had returned purposely for the gathering. Everyone was seated, and they all looked up to one man, Leonard was now the head of the family, despite his age difference, he was now the leader by birth and right. “Today's event was very unexpected and we are concerned about the outcome of events. To say the very least the matron of the family position has only been held for a couple of days and now w
Arielle took all she had, walking down the highway, nothing made sense at this point. Her design for a competition she has been waiting for, for the longest time, just received an email telling her she has been disqualified. Her draft and that of Arielle’s was found and without a second thought, she knew it was coming. She had freely handed over her shares to Arielle, now her account was empty. She had nothing. Claire won't take her calls neither did the father of her baby. A waves a cap down, she could only head to the vacation house, Edward had gotten for the both of them. There were no guards, the building had been private from the very start. Anabel unlocked the door walking in on Edward. She never would have thought of seeing him here at such a time. Did she come here because he missed her, her heart warming up at the thought of him being there for her? To live in their memories. ‘’You shouldn't have come, why did you do this to me, Anabel, how hard have you been trying?’’ Ana
Everyone stared at the photos, it was intimate but not as Anabel had emphasized. ‘’Oh come on, now that's the best lie I have gotten so far, brother? We both know Arielle has no siblings besides me. She had no other biological sibling and I am the only one closer to that gap so how do you explain it? My mother had no son for our father”’ Anabel laughed like a maniac, all hope was lost, she had nothing left. Her mother has been trying over hours to reason with her father on the terms of her returning home with them, but he has been adamant about his decision not to want her. If she was to go down, then she might as well go down with everyone. She was not the only one at fault and it was time to make everyone see that. ‘’Sir Lucas, your wife bore a son before her death, the baby was said to be dead, and you never saw its body. How sure are you that the child died at birth?” Leonard turned to Sir Lucas who was now staring at Arielle strangely. He knew just how much she hated him for t
Arielle had no idea of where Leonard was taking her, while Lovert, Daniel, and Mark drove in the opposite direction of the city, they were riding towards the hotel they had met the very first day. Arielle could not hide the smile on her face. She had not been around this part of the city ever since their night together. After pulling into the driveway, he opened the door for her. ‘’Wanna come inside”’ he extends his hands to help her. They walked inside and the front desk clerk recognized them. She had met a good number of one-night stands, but Arielle stood out, she looked so unprepared on her day, she was covered in love bites and they had to bring her new clothes as hers was in no shape to be worn for another time.Arielle had not taken notice of the room number, but she did remember her way back and they were heading the same way. Just like the very time they had met Arielle walked into the room acting all drunk and woozy. Leonard quickly picked up on the act and in no time the
