“Don't worry about it for now. Just listen to mommy.”Bethany did not want to elaborate. Vella saw that her expression was very stern and did not pester. She just nodded and said, "Okay, mommy” “Good girl!" Bethany smiled at her with a warm expression on her face. The video call ended thereafter. After that, she then contacted the kindergarten to apply for a leave of absence for Jenna. Just then, she turned around to see Zayn glaring at her with a serious gaze, her heart skipped a beat at this. “Are you worried that someone will harm your kid?” He asked balancing his weight on the pillow as he tried to sit upright. "Mr. Meyer, you're awake?" Bethany quickly looked in zayn's direction and did not know when zayn woke up and listened to her conversation. Zayn raised his chin and said, “Just.......” “Did I disturb you and made it hard for you to have a good rest?” Bethany quickly interrupted him as she pointed at herself. Zayn shook his head and replied solemnly, “No, I woke up on my own. H
Bethany went into the kitchen at the condominium to keep the items she brought from the supermarket. Then, she brought out her phone and put a video call to Erica.The children were overjoyed to see Bethany on the other side of the phone as soon as the phone was connected and their faces appeared on the screen."Mommy, why did you buy so many ribs?" Jenna asked curiously when she saw Bethany taking out the ribs from the shopping bags.Bethany smiled as she replied, "I'm going to cook some soup for Mr. Meyer. He was injured when he saved mommy. I need to express my gratitude.”“Mr. Meyer? Who is that?” Jenna furrowed her brows as she asked with jealousy written all over her.“He's my boss, did you forget? ”“oh, oh!” Jenna nodded and said that she understood.Bethany clapped her hands and looked into the phone and said, "Go and play with your sister. Mommy needs to cook now."“Can I stay here and watch you cook? I want to learn something new as well” Jenna whined as she was unwilling to
Bethany looked at Jenna and said, “You should be off to bed now. I'll make arrangements for you,” she said with an assuring tone. Jenna didn't say anything else as she simply walked away, heading toward her bedroom, while Erica fixed her eyes on her, departing back until she was finally out of sight. When she was totally out of the scene, Erica picked up the phone and looked directly into the screen as she prepared to scold Bethany. “I told you right from the beginning, didn't I? Whatever you do is going to have a bad effect on the little girl, but you wouldn't listen to me. “Have you seen what I was afraid of? Jenna is traumatized. ” Erica said as tears seemed to well up in her eyes, and she tried to fight them off. However, Bethany remained unfazed. Instead, she said,“ I want you to connect with Mr. Alcantara and make her sign all of the agreements before the end of the month.”. Hearing this, Erica was stunned. “What are you even saying? I'm talking about your daughter, and yo
Bent stood in front of the door and knocked loudly. Zayn, who was still busy discussing with Bethany, was instantly pissed off when he heard the loud knock on the door. He thought that Danica had still not left even after he asked her to go.“What are you still doing here? Didn't I —”Zayn yelled before flinging the door open; however, he was shocked by the appearance of the person standing before him. It wasn't Danica at all."Woah! Watch out, man!" Bent shouted as he tried to dodge in a dramatic turn. "Were you expecting me, perhaps? You should have told me earlier,” Bent said as he straightened up his suit. His tone was filled with mockery.“How could you target your innocent brother like that? I simply came around to visit you, and you have other malicious codes waiting for me? I'm so hurt by this!” Bent pretended to be sad.While mincing on his words, he silently pushed Zayn aside and sneaked into the room before Zayn could think of shutting him out.“You.....” He was about to say
Erica felt her mood getting soiled when she heard that Zayn was going to pick up Danica. What a bad day it was about to be! Why did Bethany even think of bringing me here? Erica thought. She was so lost in thought that she didn't realize that Zayn had taken Jenna to the car. Upon getting close to the car, he suddenly noticed that Erica was still fixed at the spot. He looked back and called out for her, “Miss Burnett, are you alright?”. Erica quickly came out of her daze when she heard him calling out for her. “Yes, I'm alright Mr. Meyer. I'll be right there” With that, she hurried over and got into the car. When she got into the car, she noticed Jenna sitting in the front seat along with Zayn. That's not even the issue but how close and intimate they were with each other at this moment. They were like an inseparable father and daughter bonded by love. Seeing this, Erica felt her heart racing very fast and she couldn't do anything to control it; she was afraid of what Bethany migh
He walked into the kindergarten together with the children. He attracted a lot of attention. Zayn was handsome, Bethany was pretty and the two children were cute. They attracted a lot of attention for being such a good-looking family.A few minutes later, the kindergarten teacher finished taking attendance and everyone arrived. They then told everyone to head to the amusement park.The children had never been to an amusement park before, especially Jordan. They were curious about everything they saw. It was crowded in the amusement park. Bethany was worried that they would lose the children and hence she held Jordan's hand while Zayn held Jenna's.They followed the teacher's instructions and brought them rides that were suitable for children and families. They were at it for many hours. Soon, Bethany was tired and she didn't want to move anymore. Zayn was fine. Due to his injury, he didn't join in the fun too much. He was taking pictures the whole time and hence he wasn't tired But t
The next day, Joanna arrived at the office and down. But she soon heard someone yelling "What happened?"I have no idea. She's here for Ms.Quest” Everyone in the main office looked at Bethany in unison. Bethany frowned and stood up, and suddenly saw a woman standing at the door.She stood there with arms akimbo and an angry face, obviously looking for trouble.Bethany didn't want to disturb everyone working, so she walked over and closed the door of the office to prevent everyone from seeing the fun. Then she asked coldly, "What's the matter with you?”She raised her hand while gnashing her teeth and was about to hit her in the face.Bethany narrowed her dark brown eyes and slammed her head, avoiding the woman's slap. Then she grabbed her hand and said with a cold face, "You want to hit me?" "The person that I hit is you bitch. I will make you ashamed if you dare to seduce my nephew!” she glared at Bethany. fiercely."When did I seduce your nephew!” Bethany shook her hand away.She
Joanna didn't notice Bethany had calmed down. The panic of being unable to defend herself when Bethany was framed just now was almost gone. Joanna snorted. "Daphne can't accept someone stealing my position at the company. I provoked her a little, and she naturally came to you. Zayn won't cancel my position within the company because of her.” "Why? Bethany's look evaded and she continued to make her talk. Joanna replied triumphantly, "Because everyone knows that you are a mistress. If Zayn cancels me, he'll suffer from public criticism and the stock price of Blue Ridge Group will fall. Zayn is a smart businessman. He knows what to do and what not to do." "Indeed." A look of irony flashed across Bethany's face. Joanna suddenly pulled down her face.“ I just didn't expect that Daphne would be hurt, but I'm not scared about that. You're a ready-made scapegoat." "Are you so sure that no one knows the truth?” Bethany raised her eyebrow. Joanna let out an evil smile. "Of course, the
…..That night at Bethany’s mansion.Bethany was scrolling through a file on her laptop when her phone rang.It was a call from Barbara.“Darling, I have gone to pay my rest at the temple along with Vella. We will be back home very soon, don't worry everything is fine and Vella is having a lot of fun” Barbara excitedly explains everything in one goal.Bethany smiled, hearing her words.“Donnie, I hope you had fun visiting the places you wanted. And Vella wanted to see the greenery, hope she enjoyed it” Bethany stopped scrolling and asked with a smile on her face. “Yes, she did but she wanted Jenna to accompany her to see the green water fountain. So, she refuses to visit it without her” Barbara ruffled Vella’s hair and said. She looked at the little girl’s face and smiled.Vella beamed back at her. “Really? I should have sent Jenna along with her but Jenna didn't want to go back yet, she was worried about something but it's been taken care of. When you're back, I'll go along with t
“Don't be faster than your shadows. Zayn is not the type to get distracted by things like that. Let's lay low and strike when least expected” Joanna suggested. She knew his Zayn was like and didn't want things to get messed up. Bent on the other held his phone in his hands while his chest rose and fell at the mention of Bethany. Bethany had managed to capture Zayn’s heart and was a great asset to him, how could she go missing? “Talking of Bethany.That cocky woman humiliated me so much before, why are we even talking about her?” Sapphira was boiling with rage once she saw Bethany’s name. “You are not the only one.Bethany was like a huge thorn in my flesh, she came after me like a rival.I have a very bad feeling about that woman” Daphne cringed her face, thinking of the times Bethany made her life difficult. “Who is this Bethany and why was she after you all?” Dimitri seemed to be the only one who didn't have any encounter with Bethany. “That miserable girl was a menace. Who knew
Hearing his words, Mr.Meyer turned to look at him with seriousness.The expression appeared as though something had been awakened in his mind.“Do you really think so? If that's the case then we don't deserve to call ourselves her family, how could we fail to find her?” He viciously blames himself.“Why are you blaming yourself, old master Meyer? It's not even confirmed that the young mistress is alive yet. On top of that, the situation was too complicated and no one knew the truth.” Mr.Meyer Sr looked ghastly at the dark view of the sea and muttered.“If there's a chance that my dear Giselle is out there somewhere, I'll turn the whole world down to bring her back no matter what”His firm tone and cold expressions were a testament to his serious he was.“What are you planning to do, Master Meyer? What's on your mind?” The Butler asked, seeing his expression.“It's her death anniversary very soon. Wouldn't it be nice if we found her before then? That way we will get to celebrate her bi
Back in the hospital. The smile on Jessica’s face faded as soon as Zayn was gone.After he left, the smile on Jessica's face disappeared and she put on a cold face. The next moment, she pulled open the bedside drawer, took out a document, and opened it. She was a little sad. But soon she thought of something else and slowly touched on these words, revealing a frightening smile. Just then, she heard a soft knock on the door before Jeff walked into the room with his stethoscope in his hands. He carefully examined her and said.“Ms.Ferguson, there is nothing to worry about.If you look after yourself well, you'll be fine” “Dr.Emerson, why isn't Ms.Quest visiting you anymore? Did you two have a lover’s quarrel?” Jessica asked seriously with a pretentious smile. Jeff was caught off-guard. However, the mention of Bethany’s name caused his eyes to turn red with hate. Jessica was quick-witted, she saw his expressions but didn't say a word. “.Ms.Ferguson, Ms.Quest is quite busy that
“Jessie, Ms.Quest had gone on a business trip for a few days, she's not back yet. As soon as she comes back, I'll send her over to accompany you for a while” Jessica was disappointed when she found out about this.At first thing, she thought Bethany was keeping her distance from her after getting into a feud with Danica.She had read online that Bethany and Danica got into a fight after Danica’s show flopped but she didn't expect that things would get this harsh.Danica was the perfect villain and nks that things had gotten to this level, she song hold back anymore.“Is that so? That's alright.Ms.Quest is very kind hearted, she makes me so happy” Jessica said with a warm smile lingering under her eyelids.Zayn was surprised to see how sweetly she talks about Bethany.On Top of that, he noticed that the mention of Bethany’s name lit up a smile on her face.He didn't think too much about it and was glad.“Jessie, I'll arrange with the doctors and get you transferred to the Platinum Villa
“I'm dying, Zayn. I'm dying from everything, there's no reason to continue!” Jessica sounded so weak as if she had given up on life.A few weeks back, Zayn had motivated her to continue living no matter what.However, seeing that he had given up on her, Jessica decided she had no reason to live anymore.“What are you talking about, Jessica? You shouldn't give up so soon. I'm here with you now, I was a little busy and neglected you for a while, I'm so sorry” Zayn was apologetic as he took her hands into his and kissed them.Her thin hand was utterly cold and devoid of life. In the end, Zayn got scared.“You have too much to deal with now. Why would you bother yourself with my responsibility? I don't want to trouble you so don't worry about me”Even though it sounded as though Jessica was being considerate. In reality, she was pushing him to the edge to make him feel bad.Zayn couldn't bring himself to look her in the eyes, he blamed himself for her condition. So, he could only tighten
….In the hospital, Zayn waited at the door of the ward while the doctors attended to Jessica.He was worried sick and couldn't stand still no matter his much he tried.A few days ago, Jessica wanted him to visit her and stay by her side for a while to keep her warm and chase away her loneliness for some time.However, he was too busy and requested to visit her later.If things went wrong and she didn't make it, he would begrudge himself forever. At this time, a nurse came out of the treatment room anxiously and was heading out when Zayn stopped her in her tracks.“Nurse, what's happening to Jessica? She was just fine, right? How come she's critical?” Zayn demanded, feeling suffocated. Frustration was evident on his face as he couldn't help but worry about Jessica.“Mr.Meyer, I have no idea how Ms.Ferguson is faring right now. Her condition suddenly retrogressed and was rushed to the treatment room immediately then I had to call you up since there was no one else” Zayn was riled up
“ENOUGH! Shut the f*ck up, everyone!” After tapping his feet against the floor for umpteen times and they still continued to argue, Bent squealed loudly, causing them to stop brawling and look in his direction. “Do you know what your problem is? You never learn from a mistake. You all are so dumb and fall through without hassle!” Bent yelled, losing his patience at their trifling scuffle.Everyone was stunned by Bent's sudden outburst; no one knew what came over him.In the end, they all glared at him with curiosity and waited for him to say a word.Cone to think of it, Bent had been quiet the entire time and suddenly burst out with anger.“What's wrong with you, Bent? What's with outbursts? Did we do something wrong?!”Sapphira Grand, looked at her son and asked, tilting her head to grasp his expression.“How could you all not realise you are making a mistake right now? Do you not realize who the actual enemy is?” Bent asked, he had a somber seriousness to his tone. At the mentio
Once Zayn left, they turned to look at each other with complicated gazes. “Why would Zayn hurriedly leave in the middle of an important family meal? What was so urgent that he couldn't care less about Grandpa’s health before dashing off? Who knows if Zayn truly cares about Grandpa!”Joanna broke the silence with her rhetorical questions.Even though it sounded as if she was worried about the old man, she was simply trying to ignite the burning flame in his heart.She could vividly remember that Mr.Meyer Sr still held a grudge against Zayn for what happened to Giselle Medina. Joanna stole a glance at Mr.Meyer Sr and saw the vain expression on his face, she smiled hideously. She scoffed before saying.“Maybe, he's really busy today, Zayn’s never left Grandpa alone before especially while he's sick”At this time, everyone noticed the dark aura looming around Mr.Meyer Sr, he was getting offended at Joanna’s remarks but he couldn't say a word since he was telling the truth.Zayn had always
