The day after that was another exciting day.Sonia made it to the front page of the entertainment news, making people speculate that she was one of Jim's new favorites.Lying leisurely on the balcony of the villa by the bay, Daniel put the newspaper he had just finished reading on the marble round table.With a glass of champagne in his hand, Jim leaned against the handrail and said, "I thought you were playing a game of cat and mouse around the world, but I didn't expect that you would be hiding out here.""The most dangerous place is also the safest place." A smile spread over Daniel's mouth. He had never been one to play by rules."The way you're dealing with things this time isn't your style." Jim squinted his eyes and looked at him. He knew exactly what kind of person Daniel was. They grew up together, so he believed that he knew him best.Daniel said nothing.The reflection of the sun on the ocean was distorted by the spinning waves, turning it into shimmering golden spots. Dani
When the other two men saw this, they were so scared that they nearly peed in their pants."Let him go. He already stopped," Sonia said, consoling the thin, tall man as she glanced towards him.The tall man looked at her with gratitude."Fuck off," Daniel growled before he let him go. The man rushed out and disappeared in a flash.Daniel turned to face towards Valery and with a face contorted with venomous rage, he growled, "Look straight into my eyes and don't you dare blink! If you do anything harmful to my woman again, I swear to you, by the time Baron comes to collect your dead remains, they would need DNA testing to figure out that the body belongs to you!"Valery was clearly frightened and angry, but resorted to stamping her feet on the floor with her hands on her belly.Sonia was silent, but her deep black eyes glared at Valery coldly. Despite not uttering a single word, her eyes manifested a certain kind of void that was filled with gloom and emptiness.They spent two days in
"What's wrong with you?"A scenario played in Sonia's head for a while. 'One day, Daniel had an argument with Leila and got himself drunk. Valery then climbed into his bed and a drunken Daniel thought it was Leila and later impregnated Valery.'Such plots were frequently seen on TV shows. Not to mention, Valery's mother, Elizabeth, was a very skilled woman. She must have inherited that from her."Did Valery's family force you to marry her?" This was something she knew, and didn't even have to guess. Some people were just like super glue. Once you stick to their skin, there was no way out of it."There's no way I would marry her, but I want to be responsible and raise the baby myself," he said with sheer determination, assuring that the child was indeed important to him and he wanted to be responsible for it.This answer made Sonia feel a bit uneasy.'Why would you want to take care of a baby if it weren't yours?'It seemed to Sonia that he just admitted that the child was his.The tho
That name.No one was more familiar with it than she was.No one knew her better than she did.No one understood her better than she did.Because she bore that name for seven whole years.Sonia was Cathy.After divorcing Baron, her mother changed her name to Lucy in the hopes of forgetting her past life and starting a new one. After she married Bob, Sonia offered to change her name in order to ease her mother's conflict with her new grandparents. Since her mother's second marriage, they had severed ties with their original family and became members of the new family wholeheartedly.However, did she actually become engaged to that ice guy?Wasn't this the biggest joke of the century?How come she never knew about it?He was eleven years old then, while she was only six years of age. At that time, Elizabeth took her son and daughter and became part of the family. Sonia and her elder sister Alice were too busy fighting with Valery and her little brother, so she knew nothing about this. I
Never!Thanks to his so-called mediocrity, she didn't feel any pressure whenever she was with him. She was able to get along with him, joke with him, and even argue with him. It was also because of his "mediocrity" that she felt like they were from the same world, and that she was able to put her trust in him.There had been a lot of ups and downs in her life. She had gone from a girl with a well-known and rich family to a girl with a small house in the middle of nowhere. And to be honest, she preferred the latter one.It was said that jade was the apple of the eyes of people from wealthy families, but the truth was, people from wealthy families all had two faces: one was ugly, while the other was gorgeous and fake.What was the difference between Daniel and those people?"I'll only do what I need to, and I'll act how I should. Nothing more." Sonia's voice was cold and distant, and there was a trace of bitterness in it. She fixed her eyes outside the window, refusing to even look at D
‘I guess rich mothers-in-law really are cunning and brilliant,’ Sonia thought.Her first grandmother might have been bossy and arrogant, but to Sonia, Mrs. Mary seemed like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It would be easier to please the likes of her grandmother than to deal with someone like Daniel’s mom.‘I should probably keep my eyes on her so I can figure out her next move. Otherwise, I might find myself in danger.’ Sonia held her breath.This time, Daniel didn’t oppose her. He always did things in a proper way to avoid humiliating his mother in front of others. He looked at Sonia and nodded slightly, and then she walked up to Mary and sat beside her.Valery walked towards Daniel and smugly took the seat beside him. She always took comfort in the fact that his family had regarded her as someone who had the only right to be by his side. That even though Sonia was his legal wife, she still wouldn’t be acknowledged and would only be considered as his mistress. Mistresses who had been in
Sonia didn't know if there was actually a ghost, but there was one thing she knew for certain: there was a hidden secret in the yard.As they walked towards the pavilion, they saw Daisy coming from the bamboo forest path. Ivy waved her over, and they all sat around the stone table in the pavilion. Once they were settled down, they asked the servants to bring them some afternoon tea."The moment Daniel came back, the whole house became bustling with noise." An ironic smile appeared on Daisy's face."I really can't stand Valery anymore. Is it such a big deal to be pregnant? Isabella already has three sons, but Richard hasn't married her yet," Ivy said."I agree. I don't even know how she got pregnant. The woman Daniel loves is none other than Leila." In Daisy's eyes, Daniel and Leila were perfect for each other."No. Daniel is in love with Sonia now. He has already moved on from Leila." Ivy made a face and stuck out her tongue at Daisy. It seemed like they didn't agree with each other.
Elizabeth was so angry that she nearly burst into a frenzy. She didn't expect Daniel to be so ruthless towards her. "You are engaged to Valery and she is pregnant with your child. Don't you think it's your responsibility to take care of her?""I'll take care of the baby. As for her..." A hint of sarcasm flitted over his face. "Since you have so much free time, why don't you take some time to teach her a lesson? If she wants to be a daughter-in-law of our family, she should be kind, tolerant, and generous. Such a wicked and domineering woman like her wouldn't even be wanted by beggars on the side of the road, so how can you expect her to get into our family?"Elizabeth's face was now as red as a ripe apple with a tinge of purple and brown. She took a deep breath and swallowed hard, trying very hard to calm herself down. Elizabeth knew that if she provoked him further, she would get nothing from him. If she really wanted to drive Sonia away, she had to turn to Mary.With that, she dejec
"I knew it." In a fit of anger, she clenched her fist and hit him on his shoulder. Her hand was wrapped in a warm big hand in the air. "I haven't finished yet. In fact, I am very enjoyed with it. If I don't get a headache because of you every day, then life will be boring."What? What the hell did that mean?She lowered her head and felt complicated. As if it made her heart sour, sweet and numb at the same time. She couldn't tell exactly what she felt.He kissed her affectionately when she was lost in thought. At the same time, he wanted to express all his feelings to her in this kiss.The moon shone through the treetops and surrounded them. At this moment, their hearts were so close. There was no dispute, no hindrance, and no misunderstanding. There was only warmth and harmony between them.In the morning, Sonia was in a good mood. Even when she sat on the sofa, she wanted to laugh happily. Since she came back to the Dragon City, she had never been so happy like this. She was confuse
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. When
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
