"I'm Mandy, don't you remember me? Six years ago, during the trip to the Himalayas, my traveling companions and I came across some difficulty. It was you who saved us."

It was not until then that Daniel realized what she was referring to. Yet, this compliment didn't make him look proud. He continued to have an indifferent expression on his face. Shrugging his shoulder, he let go of the matter.

However, hearing this, Sonia walked over and patted him on the shoulder. With a playful look on her face, she said, "I wasn't aware you had gone to the Himalayas. It sounds amazing!" Mandy had repeated this story a million times in the past. It was something she enjoyed narrating every now and then. They had also named this story as the independent hero climbing the mountains and rivers. The way he had hit eight gangsters all by himself was the part she told with a relish.

Daniel gently pinched the tip of her chin. "There are still a lot of things you don't know."

Looking at them, Mandy couldn't

  • Rejecting The Billionaire   CHAPTER 17

    "Sonia, we thought you would be devastated because of James's upcoming marriage. You seem well though, and we didn't expect you to be so cheerful like now. Have you really moved on?" Mandy asked deliberately.At the mention of James's name, Eva suddenly coughed as if to remind Mandy not to aggravate Sonia.Sonia's eyes darkened instantly. It was true that she didn't have much time to think about James after spending the last few days quarreling with Daniel. She realized just now that Daniel's troublesome attitude was actually a blessing in disguise. Since there was no chance for her to end up with James anyway, it would be a waste to think about him."I've decided to concentrate on my work. I won't date someone before the age of 25." She vowed solemnly.Eva wagged a disapproving finger at her. "You can't miss the opportunity to pursue love just because of career! Your youth and good looks are wasted on you if you keep that up. Don't think that you'll be pretty forever. The best time t

    The more Sonia thought about it, the more nervous she got. She almost jumped to her feet and tried to run away, but Daniel didn't go to her. Instead, he went straight to the fridge and took out a box of ice cream. "I just wanted to help you with this," he said.She took a deep breath, still petrified as he pointed at her temple with his index finger and said, "You think too much. But even if you wanted to do that, I still wouldn't want to because you feel like a dehydrated dry carrot when I touch you."Her face became bright red as he spoke. When she noticed the cheeky grin on his face and realized that he was actually teasing her, she got angry, scooped out some ice cream, and wiped it on his face.This guy was a neat freak, so she thought he would immediately run to the bathroom and take a shower. She absolutely did not expect him to fight back, but he scooped out some ice cream as well and smeared it all over her face.'You want to declare war on me? Fine! I'm not afraid of you at

    She thought about it for a while and then sent a message saying, "Daniel, I won't cook tonight. Please arrive at Petrus Restaurant for a French dinner. See you at sharp eight o'clock. PS: If you stand me up, I am going to burn you alive."While reading this message, Daniel was in the cottage by the bay with his subordinate, William. A smile made its way to his face as soon as he read Sonia's text. It was an unnoticeable one yet William caught it since he knew his boss very well. Moreover, his boss seemed to be in high spirits lately. There was a new cheerfulness about him. He couldn't help but come to the conclusion that Sonia had a part in it. He was also stunned to see this change in his boss. No other girl had managed to placate him since he was indifferent to their feelings. Even the most beautiful women had no power over him.As the only person who knew the whereabouts of Daniel, he also knew about this absurd marriage.That day, Daniel was drunk and went back to get his identifi

    "What are you doing?" Fabian was furious as she rushed over to the pair. She looked like a dragon who was about to spit fire.James let go of the woman in his arms. Although he was startled, he didn't look the slightest bit guilty. He knew for a fact that Fabian had always been obsessed with him. In fact, she was the one who had brought up the wedding. "Why are you here?""How could I not?" she snapped. A part of her wished that she could tear Sonia down with her own bare hands.Having no intention to argue with Fabian, Sonia turned. "I'm going in." However, just as she was about to leave, Fabian caught her wrist. Turning her around, she slapped the woman hard on her face.There was no way she was going to let the woman go! Especially after trying to seduce her husband! Fabian clenched her jaw as malicious thoughts filled her mind.In the black Bentley, Daniel glowered. His fists cracked at the sight, tearing through the dull silence in the car. Although Sonia deserved a lesson, he wa

    With an obscene smile, the fat man began to unbuckle his belt.Knowing that she couldn't get free from the tight hold, tears of despair streamed down her face. "Daniel!" she sobbed out. She didn't know why he was the first person in her mind, but she yelled for him desperately.Closing her eyes and readying herself for the worse, an angry fist broke through the helpless night. Billy, the fat man, groaned in pain as he fell onto the ground like a motionless pig.Seeing this, the other three men let go of the girl and started to brandish their knives. Without another word, they rushed to the newcomer. They weren't any match for him. In just a few strokes, all three of them fell to the ground as they searched for their knocked off teeth.Sonia gazed at the man who had saved her. She squinted, not believing that it was actually Daniel who came to save her. When his arms wrapped around her, she could smell his masculine scent wafting around her nose. "Daniel," she sobbed. "You really came.

    Mandy actually planned to stay in their house for the time being because her landlord had decided to sell her old apartment.Hearing that, Sonia's head was already hurting. If she knew her friend any better, her real purpose was to get close to Daniel.However, an icy guy like him wasn't planning on letting her stay over. The moment he heard of the news, his face darkened completely. In fact, what he wanted to do was walk over there and give her a piece of his mind.Seeing that he was about to drive the woman away, Sonia pulled him into the room in a hurry."Mandy will be moving out as soon as she finds a house. Just bear with her for a couple of days please," she begged, clasping her hands together."No," Daniel said coldly. It was obvious that he wasn't there to negotiate with her.Sonia gritted her teeth. She had wanted to try and persuade him nicely, but seeing as he wasn't responding to that, she went for another route. "Look, I'm the one who rented the apartment. Hell, I'm the o

    Was this a swimsuit or mummy wrappings?She stared at the swimsuit. In fact, it looked as if it belonged to a scuba diver. The only thing it was missing were the webbed sandals.As a fashion designer who had seen multiple fashion statements, it was the first time for her to see such a conservative design!"It fits you." A smile slid onto his face. Given that he had seen her before, he knew all her sizes like the back of his hand.She wrinkled her nose. "I don't want to wear it. Not only is it ugly as hell, but it's insulting for you to think that I'll wear it!"'He seems to be a man of good taste, so what the hell was running in his mind when he picked out this swimsuit?'Daniel shrugged. "It doesn't matter. We can always sit on the balcony and watch the sunset today." It seemed that not only would he refuse to go with her, but he also wouldn't allow her to go with Mandy!Sonia glared at the sky. For the sake of her money and Mandy, it seemed that she had to make the ultimate sacrific

    When they went back to their seats, Mandy took off her sunglasses and summoned all of her courage to invite her dream lover. "Dan, how about we take a swim?" she suggested."I'm playing the Fight Against Landlords. Go on your own," he said, without even looking up at her. He was too focused on the phone.Mandy had already been refused for so many times, so she had gotten used to it. She secretly pinched Sonia a few times on the waist, as if asking her to instigate the entire thing.Sonia groaned in her heart. After what had happened, she didn't want to go into the waters again. However, she knew that if she didn't go, Daniel wouldn't bother going either.She didn't expect that she would risk her life trying to play matchmaker.Sighing, she stretched her hand over the screen of the phone. "We can play at home. We don't get to go to the beach every day, you know. Why don't we enjoy ourselves?"Daniel narrowed his eyes. "You want to go? Are you deaf?" She wanted to go alone?Sonia frowne

    She sighed and thought of Daniel uncontrollably. She was getting more and more confused about how to get along with him. Now he was the only person she could rely on and ask for help in Dragon City, but he was too domineering and strong. Working with him was like playing with fire, which burned her to ashes one day.Dot turned around and looked at them with his eyes wide open, "Mommy, daddy, are you going to kiss each other?"Instantly, Sonia stood up in a hurry, "You little kid, what are you talking about?"Dot stuck his tongue out and climbed onto James's legs, "Dad, you two will get along better if you often kiss Mom.""Yes." Mili giggled and covered her mouth with her hand. "I saw many people kissing each other on TV. So they are very close to each other."Sonia wiped the sweat from her forehead. It must be when her mother was watching the soap opera. The two kids hid on the stairs and watched them, learning everything inappropriate for children.Even a gifted baby in the family w

    As soon as she finished, Eva thumped the table. "Sonia, you are right. Human beings will be unwilling to accept friends or relatives if they are tempted by desire. Look at those imperial kings in ancient times. They would kill their sons, wives and brothers without hesitation for the emperor's throne." She then patted on Vinton's shoulder and said, "Vinton, your mother must have been carried away by power. You should keep an eye on her. Don't let her get away with it."Vinton nodded and said, "yes." Although Elizabeth was his biological mother, he didn't want to be a puppet in front of her. More importantly, if her families got the shares of the company, they should leave them to their own sons, not to him, their nephew.Taking a sip of tea, Sonia continued, "actually, I have a way. I can make you promise that you will have nothing to worry about after you take over the position of the CEO.""What's it?" Asked Vinton."Find out all your mother's accomplices and the people she planted

    Daniel walked quickly to them, leaving Leila behind. "Why are you two together?" He asked and frowned slightly."Why can't we be together?" Sonia retorted sourly."Dan, since you have divorced, we are just ordinary friends. And about what happened to her, you don't need to ask more." Walt said slowly, distancing himself from Sonia.They were not friends. Sonia corrected him in her heart. Daniel told her in person that they only had business relationship at the moment.There was a touch of melancholy on the face of Daniel. Was his brother going to take advantage of his weakness and swoop in? Even if it was his own brother, Walt would never have an idea on his wife. When he was about to speak, Leila walked to him from behind and put her hand in his arm. "Brother Dan, let's go to the bar counter for a drink?" She dragged him away on purpose.Looking at them, Sonia was furious and said, "excuse me." After saying that, she walked away with Walt arm in arm.Pulling his arm out of her grip,

    "Don't you have someone with you tonight?" Sonia stared at him angrily and found that Leila was not with him at the moment. She should be going to the makeup room to fix her makeup."Do you really want me to be with another woman?" He frowned slightly and felt a little displeased."It's none of my business whether you have women or not, but I'm a neat freak. Stay away from me if you touch other women. Don't make me dirty." She turned her head angrily and looked away from him. Thinking of the image that he made out with Leila, she was filled with anger and wanted to give him a punch.There was a sparkle in his dark eyes. He reached out and held her in his arms."What are you doing? Everyone is watching us. " Sonia felt ashamed and annoyed and wanted to push him away in a hurry. But she couldn't get rid of him because of his strong arms. "Everyone knows that you are my wife. Even if I have you now, nobody dares to say no.""Your ex-wife." Feeling the curious gazes from the surrounding p

    "Then I'll give the agreement to another company." He threatened.She was ashamed, angry, and anxious. Rolling her eyes, she said, "I can't do it every night. I still have children to take care of. Holy is now in a rebellious teenager. The family suffer such a big blow that his little heart is badly hurt. He is not familiar with his sister Cathy. There is no need to say, the only person he trusts and wants to be close to is me." After taking a pause, she continued, "How about this? I'll stay in your house every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and I'll go back home to accompany Holy every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. You should also go back to accompany Rabi. No matter how wonderful grandpa and grandma are, they can't compare with dad."Daniel was slightly angry. This woman dared to negotiate with him and hit the nail on the head. Didn't she know her situation? She could only nod. Did she have the qualification to shake her head and negotiate?"Yes or not? You only have two op

    Malcolm called and told her the Emperor's request.Was it what Daniel asked her to talk with William? Sonia just entered the Vintons Group and had no idea of the development program in Sea City. How should she talk about it? Most importantly, although the position of the president has been taken over, Elizabeth will definitely not give up. She is staring at Sonia. If anything goes wrong, Elizabeth will take the opportunity to find trouble, and even incite the directors to stop the president. So she had no choice but to try.She asked Malcolm to send the cooperation plan to her, so that she could study it and make preparations in the evening. Fortunately, it was William, and they were friends. She didn't know much about building and development, so he would understand and explain to her. If it was someone else, she even didn't know how to deal with it.The next day, she went to the South Pier as promised. The Secretary of the president office, Christabel, was waiting by the dock.

    Now she really hoped that he could stay with her and wait for their baby to be born."Mrs. James, come on. The kids will come out soon." The doctor said. In New York, Sonia and James always pretended to be a couple in order to avoid the neighbors' random guesses and discussions. However, Sonia had already told him very clearly that it was impossible for them to be together again. She was a woman who had been married and had children, so she did not deserve him.But James had never thought about giving up. Although many things have changed, his feelings for her have never changed. At this moment, he was more nervous than her, trembling all over his body. Her painful cry was like thousands of sharp claws scratching his heart.After three hours, the two babies' loud cries rang in the delivery room."Yes, a boy and a girl. Congratulations, Mr. James and Mrs. James." The midwife said with a smile.With tears and sweat streaming down her face, she took a look at the babies in the midwife's

    The door of the operating room was finally opened. Due to the premature delivery, the baby was not in a good condition. Valery had to put the baby in the incubator for observation.When the nurse came out with an incubator, Sonia walked over and looked at the boy through the incubator wall. The boy was so small, like a cat.Although she didn't know if he was related to Daniel by blood, she knew the boy was related to her by blood because she was his aunt.No matter how bad Valery was, the child was innocent. She hoped that everything would be fine with him.When they got back, Daniel checked out the surveillance video. He was totally pissed off when he saw that Valery pushed Sonia. He just wanted to rush into the hospital and strangle her. Anyway, since the child was born, he didn't need to worry about her at all."I will ask the hospital to do a paternity test tomorrow."Sonia nodded. There was a smile on her face when Valery and her mother knew the result that the baby was not Danie

    Daniel happened to drive past the front of a hospital where he caught a glance at two familiar figures who appeared to be immersed in a romantic world of their own, without minding the public. He took a closer look and realised that the lady who was being smooched and kissed was his Sonia, and the guy was James. He couldn't believe his eyes, although by the time he saw them in the act, they appeared to be rounding off and separating from each other's embrace.Boiling with rage, he rushed out of the car and immediately pounced on James without hesitation.Blood immediately oozed from his nose and the corners of his mouth. When he was about to hit him again with his fist, Sonia rushed over to protect him. She said, "Dan, what are you doing?"Holding her up like an eagle that had twisted a chicken. The rage in his heart made him want to throw her to the ground, but his remaining sensibility forced him to endure it and slowly loosened his grip.James jumped up from the ground, like an inj
