‘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
In the afternoon, Sonia drew a few design sketches and gave them to Ivy to let her choose which one she wanted.She had designed each one according to Ivy's figure, skin tone, and temperament. Ivy liked every one of them, and couldn't decide which one to choose, so she asked Daisy for some help.Daisy looked at the design sketches and liked the vintage European chiffon skirt and the embroidered long skirt with Eastern lace very much. "Both of these are very beautiful, but since you have long legs, why don't you go with the short skirt?""Ha ha, I think this short skirt would suit me, too." With a smile, Ivy made her decision.Hearing this, Sonia nodded. Then, she turned to Daisy and said, "That lace embroidered long dress would look very good on you. I can make that dress for you with the same pattern as Ivy's dress to make your dresses look like sister outfits.""Really? That would be great! Daisy, we shall wear our sister outfits for my birthday party," Ivy said happily.Daisy was a
Sage pretended to leave the lake, walked into the woods, and found a place to hide.Meanwhile, Valery walked slowly towards Sonia on her own."Sister Sonia!" She called her name as intimately as she could, and plastered an insidious false smile on her face."Humph!" Sonia muttered in a low voice. The last thing she wanted was to talk to Valery, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile for her.While she was walking up to Sonia, she suddenly stopped and fell down on the ground. Thinking that she might have a stomachache, Sonia quickly jumped up and helped her up. "Are you okay?" She asked.Then, at that very moment, a fat figure suddenly ran out of the woods and shouted, "Help! Help! Help! Miss Valery was pushed by Sonia!""No, I didn't..." Sonia wanted to explain what happened, but when she saw the malicious smile on Valery's face, she immediately understood what was happening.This was a frame-up.Daniel was the first to arrive, and after him came Mary and the others.Valery just
Sonia followed Jim's gaze, and there she caught the sight of a stunning woman walking inside the hall. The woman had a unique kind of beauty, which reminded her of a fairy from the snow mountain. She had skin as fair as snow, and with angelic eyes that were both striking and elegant.When she left Dragon City, Alice was already eleven years old. Despite her face maturing throughout the years, Sonia quickly recognized her from the first sight because of her distinctive features.Alice was different from her in both appearance and character. Sonia inherited her looks from her mother, while Alice definitely looked more like her father. Alice had been labeled as the most beautiful woman in Dragon City. People were amazed by her charisma and her air of mysteriousness. In fact, most men were completely captivated by her bewitching smile.Her beauty relied on her estranged nature, which came with a frosty coldness. She looked like she could have come from a beautiful painting; delicate as a
James was alone in his room when he suddenly thought he was seeing the love of his life coming towards him, but she never reached where he was seated, even though she kept walking towards him at a close distance. Each time he blinked his eyes, she disappeared from his vision.He had just finished downing his sixth bottle of liquor.Was it an illusion after getting drunk?Had she never been there?He held his head in his hands and paralyzed on the carpet.She's getting married. Married another man?It was all his fault. He hurt her feelings. He hurt her all the time. Now she really didn't love him anymore!He kept bumping his head against the wall as if to punish himself.At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open gently. When the woman who entered the room saw him, she exclaimed, "James, what are you doing? Do you have a headache? Were you hit by a car this afternoon? " She was so nervous that she rushed over and held his head.He opened his eyes wide and looked at her witho
The pastry chef was hired from Britain. The cakes they made were so delicious.From a distance, with the help of a maid, Valery came over.She pretended to turn a blind eye to it and ignored it.However, Valery didn't want to let her go so easily. She walked into the pavilion and sat down without asking anything.Valery thought she would be the hostess of the family in the future. She had to make herself as the hostess and suppress this little bitch everywhere.Sonia was in a bad mood, and she even felt that the food in her mouth tasted different. It really could affect her appetite."In the house, do you feel that you've come to the Wonderland as a poor girl? I'm afraid that you will not enjoy such a good day for a long time. "Sonia sneered and ignored her deliberately. She took out her phone and started to play games as if she was infuriated.The maid poured a cup of fruit tea for Valery. She took a sip and said slowly, "as long as you are willing to divorce Dan, I can give you a l
"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
