"Wesley! Why can't you speak more politely? You actually struck your niece!" Upon hearing the commotion, Maricela's mother hurried over, embracing her sobbing daughter and scolding Wesley.

"Sis, you've pampered your daughter excessively! If she doesn't want this job, she should resign! I can't afford to lose any staff! She might end up causing harm to someone sooner or later!" Wesley refused to say anything further and directed a final remark at Maricela, "You're on your own!"

Maricela was in disbelief. Just a few days earlier, her uncle had bought her gifts, claiming it was for her benefit, but now he had hit her for Kathy!

"Mom!" Maricela wept in her mother's embrace. Maricela's mother had always showered her with affection and proposed, "Shouldn't we consider quitting this job?"

Maricela promptly shook her head. It was not simple to find a position as relaxed and well-paying as the one at Henderson Corp. She was aware of her own value.

Even though she entertained these thoughts, sh

    Kathy expressed her preference, and Dominic signaled his agreement to the receptionist. Hand in hand, they followed the receptionist into CC, making their way to a secluded corner at the far end of the hall by the bed."Is this location suitable for you both?" inquired the receptionist.Kathy glanced around casually. Compared to the more bustling areas upfront, this spot was notably quiet."I think we should sit here. What do you think, Dominic?" Kathy asked.Dominic nodded, "This spot is fine."Despite Dominic's apparent acceptance, Kathy could perceive a hint of disdain in his eyes for the chosen location. Initially, Kathy had wanted to sit there, but now, as she took her seat, she felt a pang of guilt facing Dominic across the table."Dominic, I'm not great at making choices. Why don't you go ahead and order?" Kathy suggested, sliding the menu toward Dominic.In a flash, Kathy recalled the previous occasion when Dominic had taken her to DBT. The man before her now appeared eager to

    Maricela, who was happily savoring the Braised Duck and Sweet and Sour Fish, abruptly halted and her expression shifted. "Maricela, what's the matter?" Her mother inquired with concern. Her hand, clutching the chopsticks, trembled slightly. Despite realizing it wasn't prudent to call out in a crowded setting, her body instinctively responded quicker than her mind. "Kathy!" At the sound of the voice, Kathy glanced over to see Maricela. It truly was a small world; she hadn't anticipated running into her while dining out. "Oh, it's Maricela. Are you having dinner with your sister?" Kathy deduced that the person across from Maricela was likely her mother. Sensing Maricela's agitation without a clear cause, it was best to first steady the situation.Maricela's mother, seated across from Maricela, was pleased by Kathy's words. "Maricela, is this your friend? She speaks so eloquently. Young lady, I am Maricela's mother, not her sister." "Ma’am, You appear too youthful, not a single wrink

    “Maricela, you mentioned that Kathy became the third wheel. Who is the person beside her? Is it your company's boss?”Maricela was taken aback by her mother's question. She hesitated to disclose that Dominic had brought Kathy to dinner and shook her head, denying any connection, "No.""Ah, so she's seeing two people at once!""Not just that. She also has lingering issues with her ex-boyfriend," Maricela added, referring to Xavier.Maricela's mother, unaware of the full story, believed her daughter's words. Her disdain for Kathy deepened, and a plan began to form in her mind. She couldn't stand to see her dear Maricela mistreated."Dominic, I'm full," Kathy said, patting her full stomach.Despite having only ordered three dishes and not finishing them, the portions at CC's were excessively large."In that case, let's head home," Dominic agreed.After settling the bill, Dominic considerately helped Kathy with her coat and took her hand as they left the restaurant.As they walked past Ma

    Kathy's eyes widened as she gazed pleadingly at Dominic. "Dominic, are you not willing to give me a chance? I can explain!""What's the need for an explanation? I've already been clear. This man is no good, and he treated you so poorly," Maricela's mother said, frowning as she glanced back at Dominic. "People like you don't deserve to have a girl's genuine affection!"Maricela suddenly rose to her feet. "Mom, please stop! Isn't this embarrassing enough? Their situation doesn't require your interference!"Maricela's mother stared at her daughter incredulously. "Maricela, I only offered advice because you have a close bond with Kathy. If it were someone else, I wouldn't have bothered to comment! Isn't that right, Kathy?"Maricela's mother awaited Kathy's response, but when she turned her gaze back to Kathy, she noticed that Kathy no longer wore a panicked expression."Ma'am, I suppose Maricela has already filled you in on everything regarding Mr. Dominic and me, right? For instance, tha

    Gazing at Wesley's bald head before her, Kathy's emotions were a tangled mix that defied easy description. "Miss Kathy! I'm sorry!" "Miss Kathy! I'm sorry!" "Please, enough!" Kathy felt that if she didn't intervene to stop Wesley from repeating those six words, he might very well have the nerve to stay there with a microphone and announce them to the entire company all day long. "Please return to your respective positions and resume your work. Just now, Mr. Wesley was simply joking with me. I hope everyone can swiftly move past this minor incident. I prefer not to have any further discussions about this matter within Henderson Corp in the future. Thank you for your cooperation." Upon hearing Kathy's words, the gossip within the crowd intensified, piquing their curiosity even further about the underlying story. "It appears that Miss Kathy was caught off guard by Mr. Wesley!" "I believe Maricela must have done something amiss to offend Miss Kathy, prompting Mr. Wesley's actions."

    Dominic hesitated briefly before proposing, "How about we skip going to the supermarket today?" Kathy's face scrunched up in concern as she pointed out, "But there's nothing in the fridge. If we don't go to the supermarket, what will we eat tonight?" Suggesting an alternative, Dominic said, "Let's try CC instead. The food there is quite good." Overwhelmed by hunger, Kathy accidentally choked on her saliva and coughing uncontrollably. Dominic rushed to her side, patting her back until she caught her breath. Once composed, Kathy looked at Dominic with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes and questioned, "You want to go to a noisy place like CC?" Defending his choice, Dominic raised an eyebrow and replied, "It's lively there, not too bad." Exhausted by the discussion, Kathy rolled her eyes at Dominic, grabbed her bag, and declared, "Let's just go to the supermarket! No more arguments!" Leaving the office building, the pair crossed the street and entered the city supermarket. Fa

    Dominic contemptuously tossed the fish in his hand onto Maricela's face, then retrieved a piece of paper from his pocket to clean his hands before gently touching Kathy's face with a mix of guilt and concern."It's nothing, just a scratch from a dog," Kathy managed a small smile at Dominic, though the searing pain on her left cheek made her clench her teeth.Dominic felt a surge of heartbreak and anger."Maricela!" Maricela's mother witnessed Dominic striking her daughter and, feeling a combination of sadness and fury, she didn't hold back as she turned to confront Dominic, "You despicable wretch! How dare you harm my daughter! Just because you're a CEO doesn't grant you the right to act with impunity! Is there no justice left in this world? I will contact the authorities immediately!""Call the police?" Dominic scoffed in rage.He hadn't yet settled the score with them, but they were hastening towards their demise."Feeling scared now, are you?" Maricela's mother sneered coldly, "It'

    Kathy observed as Dominic skillfully peeled the apple, his slender fingers gliding through the apple's glowing red skin. After a moment, she spoke up. "Dominic,""Yes?" Dominic finished tidying up the apple peels, expertly sliced the fruit into pieces, and placed them in a bowl.Kathy retrieved a fork from the cantaloupe they had just eaten, speared a piece of apple, and offered it to Dominic.With a slight smile, Dominic accepted the apple from Kathy's hand and took a bite. "Is it delicious?" Kathy inquired."Mm," he nodded in approval. Seeing Dominic enjoy the apple, Kathy felt a sense of relief wash over her. She studied Dominic's face intently before expressing her thoughts. "Dominic, I've been cooped up at home for days now.""I understand. I've been with you every day, haven't I? Feeling bored?" Dominic asked as he wiped the blade of the fruit knife with one hand and a wet wipe with the other.As Kathy glanced at the blade, she felt a tinge of unease and quickly shook her he

    "I have no idea. Oh, by the way, I saw you at the Spring Festival Gala earlier," Kathy said, trying to please him. Dominic's face turned as dark as ink on the side."I've been to the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years," he said."I know!" Wilson's heart skipped a beat, his tone filled with excitement and joy that he tried to hide.Knowing that it was impossible between him and Kathy, and knowing that she had no interest in him, Wilson's heart still couldn't help but be stirred by her words."Didn't you mention it in your interview today?" Kathy asked."You watched my interview too?" Wilson couldn't help but laugh."They didn't change the channel all day," Dominic's cold voice came from beside Kathy, and then a handsome face that looked a lot like Wilson's was pressed against Kathy's cheek.This scene made Wilson's heart ache.Wilson forced a smile. "Brother, why are there so many people downstairs? What are they doing? The snow is so dirty, and they're just throwing it

    "Auntie, don't worry, he won't dare to sue you." After making the phone call, Dominic walked into the living room, washed his hands in the kitchen, and then sat down at the table, picking up a piece of dough that had already been rolled out into a dumpling skin."Are you not going to wrap them?" Dominic noticed that he was the only one in the family with a relaxed expression, and curiously looked at the Thompson family's parents and Kathy.Kathy saw Dominic's relaxed expression and knew that he must have resolved the issue. "Will it cause any trouble for Wilson?""Are you worried about him?" Dominic instantly regretted calling Wilson.He thought that he could reassure the Thompson family's parents and make Kathy feel at ease, but this girl was worried about whether it would cause trouble for Wilson."No." Although Dominic repeatedly assured them that Wilson would not sue the Thompson family's parents over such a minor matter, Esme and Thompson's brows remained furrowed all night.Th

    "Hey, I know, I know, we can't just blurt it out like this. What if we attract some paparazzi?" Naomi was about to leave when she caught sight of the big TV hanging on the wall of the Thompson family living room. She immediately pointed at the TV and exclaimed, "Isn't that him! The big star!"Now, everyone in the room looked at the TV, their eyes filled with curiosity.CL TV was playing an interview video of Wilson."This is already the third time that Wilson has been invited by the Spring Festival Gala program group. Do you have anything to say to the audience friends in front of the TV?"Wilson smiled gracefully, suppressing the kind of unruly air he had when he was with Kathy and others in private. "I hope this year's Wilson won't disappoint the audience friends and the Spring Festival Gala program group who invited me. I will work hard."As he spoke, Wilson even bowed to the camera, showing his politeness. His whole body exuded the aura of a noble young master, making people feel

    Kathy didn't expect this, "You, you've been sleeping for so many days, how did you suddenly...""To be honest, I haven't been sleeping well these past few nights. When you were sleeping, you really liked to move around..." Dominic hadn't finished speaking when Kathy felt her legs go numb and she unconsciously moved them.The quietness in the air was the most frightening.Kathy's mind went blank.It seemed like she accidentally touched something hard— His manhood! "What are you moving for!" Dominic tightly controlled Kathy's struggling wrist, "Don't move, I'll go take a cold shower."Kathy, embarrassed, timidly looked at Dominic and nodded, "Okay, you can go."Dominic was choked by her words and couldn't catch his breath for a while, but eventually he bent down.Kathy quickly turned her head, revealing her long and white neck."Ah!" Kathy exclaimed, her eyes misty and watery, pitifully looking at Dominic, "Why did you bite me! It hurts!"Hearing the words that made him want to indulg

    Kathy couldn't understand why Dominic was laughing so brightly at such a dangerous moment when they almost hit a dog. "Kathy, why do you look so pale?" Dominic turned his head and saw Kathy's worried face, as if she had just survived a disaster. Did what he said just now make her uncomfortable? Dominic was anxious and didn't know what was going on. "Kathy, if you mind, I won't say such things next time. Let's wait until we get married..." Dominic said. "Didn't you see the dog on the side of the road just now?" Kathy turned her head and looked at Dominic with an unkind expression. "I avoided it, didn't I?" Dominic felt wronged. Wasn't Kathy worried about the dog just now? "But why did you laugh so loudly after avoiding it? What if you hit it?" Kathy gave Dominic a white eye and turned her head to look out the window, giving Dominic a big slap on the back of his head. For no reason, Dominic smiled again with his mouth open. "Kathy, I'm really happy!" Kathy really didn't know what w

    Dominic felt that at this moment, Kathy was emitting an indescribable radiance. A long time ago, he fell in love with Kathy. Now, he was having difficulty breathing, and Kathy had become the only tenderness and light he longed for in this world.Thompson and Esme never doubted their daughter's abilities. Since childhood, Kathy has always been the most outstanding one. No matter how difficult things were, as long as Kathy said she could do it, even if it meant risking her life, she would do it. Yes, although their family was not outstanding, they had such an outstanding daughter! As long as their daughter was excellent enough to not fear any challenges, then being in a relationship with Dominic didn't seem like such a difficult thing to accept.Although Thompson and Esme still had worries on their faces, their masks were no longer as indestructible as before. "Kathy, won't this be too hard for you?" Esme felt sorry for her daughter.Extraordinary Kathy was born into such an ordinary

    "Mom, Dad, this is one of his business bank accounts, and it's also his account with the least amount of money." Thompson and Esme looked at it and were scared by the long string of numbers. Thompson took the phone from his daughter's hand in disbelief, stared at the string of numbers with wide eyes, and muttered to himself. "Have you counted it? How many digits is it?" "It seems to be nine digits..." "What do you mean 'seems to be'? How many digits exactly?" "Ten digits." Esme almost stumbled and couldn't stand firm. Thompson held her up and said, "Don't worry, my dear." "Oh my god, ten digits, tens of billions..." This is not even how it's portrayed in TV dramas. In an instant, Thompson and Esme panicked. Esme sighed and said to Kathy, "My dear, you must not be with him just for his money! The most important thing in a relationship is to live a good life together!" "Dominic, you've seen our family's situation. We are just ordinary working-class people, but

    "Ah! Bus route 3! Quick!" Thompson turned his gaze away from the double doors of the restroom and saw the bus approaching in the distance. He quickly bumped Dominic's arm with his shoulder and they ran towards the bus station with their bags.Dominic, who had never experienced this before, didn't know what to do.Seeing Dominic still in a daze, Kathy switched all her bags to her right hand, grabbed Dominic's arm, and ran forward. "What are you thinking? Did Dalein give you a brainwashing attack!"Even if Dominic didn't know why The Thompson family was desperately running forward, he understood that all he could do now was to hurry up.After rushing, with the help of a kind driver, the Thompson family finally squeezed onto the bus.Dominic looked at the empty seats on the bus, his Adam's apple moved, he swallowed hard, and regained his senses.It seemed that he had just done something he had never done before.

    The family overcame many obstacles and finally arrived at the place where Thompson often bought clothes. The shop owner saw Thompson and immediately waved, "You're here again today?" "Yes, I'm here to buy some clothes for my son-in-law for the New Year! See if you have anything that fits him well, price is not a problem!" The shop owner was happy to hear this. In the past, Thompson always bargained hard and the shop owner didn't make much profit from selling him clothes. But today, Thompson couldn't lose face in front of his son-in-law, so he wouldn't bargain, which meant the shop owner could make a lot of money. When the shop owner saw Dominic, his eyes lit up. "Is your son-in-law a model? He's so handsome!" Thompson was quite proud when he heard this. "He's not a model, he's a CEO!" Esme couldn't help but poke Thompson twice and whispered, "Don't show off your wealth. Do you still want to bargain?"Thompson immediately realized his mistake and chuckled, "I was just kidding, he
