"Abigail!" Kathy exclaimed, struggling for breath as she wrapped her tightly in an embrace. "Please loosen your hold a bit, I can't breathe!" Shortly after Abigail's shout, Kathy found herself weighed down on her neck, making it difficult for her to catch her breath."Kathy, my dear, I'm sorry. I was just so thrilled!" Abigail gazed at Kathy, who was glowing with radiance, her emotions running high enough to bring tears to her eyes.Amused by the situation, Kathy quickly retrieved some papers from her bag and handed them to Abigail. "You're an adult now and have been through so many significant events with me. Why do you still act like a child?"Before Abigail could respond, Bridgette and others suddenly appeared, surrounding Kathy and inquiring about her well-being.The remarkable spectacle near the elevator attracted the attention of many passersby."Alright, let's head back to the office and have a discussion. We can't just linger here by the elevator," Kathy said with a smile, gen

Carissa shook her head, then nodded, leaving Brett puzzled. "Can't you confide in me about anything?" he asked.After crying for a while, Carissa eventually composed herself, wiping away her tears and clearing her nose."Since that incident, my colleagues at work have been making things difficult for me. They talk behind my back and spread rumors about me!" she complained bitterly. Having always been a confident advocate for others since her youth, Carissa now found herself the subject of gossip and schemes. It was no wonder she felt so distressed and on the brink of breaking down.Brett empathized with his niece and handed her some tissues to dry her tears. "Would you like me to step in and set them straight?" he offered.Carissa immediately shook her head. "No, it's not necessary. They're just talking. Uncle, you are so capable; there's no need to get involved. Besides, if you were to confront them and they ended up resigning, wouldn't it be a significant loss for the company?"

Upon noticing the shift in Xavier's demeanor, Alexia let out a sigh of relief and moved closer to him, wrapping her arm around his waist and leaning on him tenderly like a cat. "Xavier, why is she here? I'm so scared," she whispered. Alexia's vulnerable appearance immediately triggered Xavier's protective instincts. "Don't worry, I'm here for you. She's just a woman, she can't harm us." he embraced her. Witnessing this display, Carissa stifled an eye roll, baffled by Kathy's apparent lack of discernment. She found herself in a complex emotional state."Mr. Harvard, although we are yet to be acquainted, that will change soon. I have made a reservation for three at Downtown Bistro. How about we have a conversation over dinner?"At the mention of Downtown Bistro, Alexia's heart skipped a beat.Xavier scrutinized Carissa intently for a moment before smirking. "Miss Carissa, what could be the topic of our discussion? Our companies are not engaged in any business together, rather we h

Xavier sliced a portion of grilled salmon and savored it slowly while observing Carissa's reaction. "Miss Carissa, you mentioned earlier that you invited me to dinner to acquaint myself with this promising young talent. However, your demeanor seemed to freeze as soon as I uttered some words. Is there something amiss?"Carissa discerned the sarcasm in Xavier's grin. Despite his company teetering on the edge of collapse, Xavier was intent on showcasing himself.Briefly, Carissa contemplated leaving by grabbing her bag. Dining with Xavier seemed to compromise her principles! Nevertheless, recalling Kathy's previous admiration for Xavier, she contained her vexation and took a deep breath. Calmly, she gazed at Xavier and smirked. "Could you elaborate on that?"Shrugging nonchalantly and arching his eyebrows, Xavier believed he was maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor. "There's no particular reason. After all, Kathy was once my colleague. Though she may have wronged me, I cannot reciprocat

Upon seeing Dominic's bright smile, Kathy suddenly felt uneasy, unable to bring the spoon to her mouth. "Did you tamper with this food to harm me and then go see Carissa?" she questioned hesitantly.Dominic's cheerful expression faded at the mention of Carissa, casting a heavy silence in the room once more. Kathy's appetite waned as she observed Dominic's reaction.Staring at Kathy intently for a moment, Dominic sighed deeply. "I have no romantic feelings for Carissa. Please don't mention her again, ever. I don't want her to come between us," Dominic uttered bitterly, clenching his jaw.Feeling a pang of sadness, Kathy thought for a short while before nodding in understanding. In the end, she found herself unable to finish the meal, tension lingering in the air between them."It's important to take care of yourself these days. If you're not comfortable staying in the ward, you can go home. I'll drive you there and back every day." Dominic broke the silence with a reassuring tone."I

"Xavier's behavior is so audacious! Asking a woman for money! Sometimes I just feel like... Ugh! But if I back out now, wouldn't I be giving up everything I've invested so far?" Alexia pondered for a moment, displaying visible disgust. "Fine, I'll transfer it to you immediately. Xavier, once I send this thousand, I'll be completely broke," Alexia's voice carried a tone of resentment, leaving Xavier feeling uneasy. Did she spend less when she was with him before? Now, a thousand talents felt like a huge demand. If it weren't for her fake merchandise, he wouldn't have stooped to the level of seeking collaboration with Carissa. Asking for a thousand talents was already a favor to her. After ending the call, Xavier's phone beeped with a notification of the transfer.Upon returning to the coffee shop, Xavier felt more at ease as he held the menu in his hands. "Sir, may I take your order?" The server greeted him with a cheerful smile. Xavier placed the menu down and replied, "Could you gi

Bringing up Carissa once again, Kathy ruefully smacked her forehead, realizing she had promised Dominic not to mention her. Witnessing Kathy's reaction, Dominic sighed, setting aside his work, rubbing his weary eyes, and slowly making his way over to her."In my view, your well-being is of utmost importance."Upon hearing Dominic's enigmatic statement, Kathy's heart quivered. She acknowledged that she had lingered in her comfort zone for too long and had possibly lost touch with reality."Please, Dominic, you don't need to pick me up from work anymore."At Kathy's words, Dominic's left eyebrow twitched slightly, but he composed himself and smiled calmly. "Although the office isn't far, there is still some distance to cover. If I don't pick you up, would you prefer taking the bus to work?"Kathy appeared to anticipate his response, so she brought up the excuse she had meticulously devised a few days earlier."Dominic, we're not a couple. Don't you think our behavior is overly…you know

Dominic's demeanor was a unique blend of playfulness and sincerity, not veering toward either indifference or bitterness. Yet, to Kathy, it felt as though her emotions were on unsteady ground."How could I possibly claim to educate you on business matters? I merely offered a few modest suggestions, hoping you might find them beneficial," Kathy composed herself, managing a hollow smile that mirrored Dominic's inquisitive gaze."I am well-acquainted with the dynamics of those two companies; I've been monitoring them closely. I was simply taken aback by your proposal for collaboration at this particular juncture.""At this juncture?" Kathy found herself puzzled by Dominic's statement. The essence of successful business dealings lies in timing, circumstances, and partnerships. With the timing now opportune, would her previous interactions with these companies be misconstrued as having hidden agendas?Dominic's words seemed to insinuate that Kathy harbored ulterior motives."Sir, I'm not q

"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. It felt quite novel.Kathy pulled Dominic to sit in the double seat at the

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
