Bethany touched her forehead, "You're so bold. Even I was shocked." Jenna twisted her body and giggled,"I was trying to protect mommy, so I had to just show them something because they were hurting you, and it was the only thing I could do." When Bethany heard this, she felt touched, "Oh dearie, please don't ever do that again, ok? It's mommy's business and all I want for you is to be happy.” "How can I be happy if mommy is not happy?” Jenna shook his head and replied with a serious expression. Erica, who was sucking on a lollipop, also nodded, "Yeah, that's right," Bethany was very touched, knowing that her little girl would protect her no matter what. She was grateful for Zayn that they had such a beautiful and kind daughter as she pondered, Bethany opened her arms and hugged her tightly. Then, she snuggled her close and made Jenna laugh. Bethany smiled widely. Even though her child didn't know why she was smiling. She smiled back at her. Bethany didn't know whether to laug
A few days later, Bent's birthday came. Since the party was held in the evening, Bethany left her condominium earlier and went to a hotel to change. When she arrived, many people had already come to the party.She took a cursory glance and found that she did not know anyone. So, she took a glass of wine and walked towards the corner, waiting for the party to start. After waiting for about ten minutes, she suddenly saw a person. Being a little surprised, she got up and walked towards the man. "Mr. Tennessee" When the man heard her voice, he ended his conversation with the others and turned around. "It's you, Ms.Quest "Yes. I did not expect to see you here, Mr. Tennessee." Bethany smiled and extended her hand to him. He shook her hand. "Yes, I did not expect it either. When did you come back?” “I Have has been back for almost a month,” she said. He nodded. "By the way, how is your teacher's health?" "Same as always. But when I returned, he especially told me that if I saw you, l
But Bent had expected this. So, he used his leg to hit her stomach. Bethany screamed out in pain. She looked very pale. As Bent looked at her and smirked wickedly.“Baby, please don't mess with me. I'm not a gentleman.” Bethany endured the cramping pain in her stomach. Squinting her eyes, Bethany looked at him with a look of hatred in her gaze. "I don't like this expression in your eyes," Bent frowned. He then coldly squeezed her face and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll make the most beautiful tears pour out of these gorgeous eyes of yours!" After saying that, he loosened his grip on her face, and began to stroke down her neck. When reaching her collar, he abruptly pulled the suit off her body, showing the flesh-coloured breast patch hidden underneath. "Bent!' Bethany panicked. "If you dare to touch me, I will never let you off. You will be put into prison!” "Put me in prison?" Bent asked with a chuckle. "Do you know what's on the top?" "Hmm?" Bethany subconsciously looked towards
There was a man in the picture. He looked young and Zayn looked a bit like him. Was he his father? Ms. Sue's answer confirmed Bethany's suspicion. “He is Mr. Meyer's father. He passed away.” Bethany put down her glass, "What happened?" Ms. Sue sighed, "I'm sorry, Ms. Quest. I cannot tell you this, it's a taboo around here” "I see, then I won't ask." Bethany nodded and respected her wish. Ms. Sue stood up, "Well then, Ms.Quest. Have some rest. I need to continue doing my work. There's still some laundry that need to be done." "Okay,” Bethany smiled. After she left, Bethany took the remote control and turned on the television. She watched the television for a while and her stomach felt much better. She was ready to leave. She didn't go home last night. The little girl and Erica had to be worried about her. She thought about them and stood up. She was going to head upstairs to look for zayn. But before she stood up, Zayn appeared at the staircase. "Mr. Meyer, such a coin
Bethany pursed her lips. As she was about to say something, Jenna narrowed her eyes, "Mommy, let me teach her a lesson for you!” Hearing the hostility in her words, Bethany frowned. She suddenly realized that the little girl was a little too violent. "Jen!” Bethany sized Jenna's face, looked down, and said seriously while looking at her, "Listen to me. This is my problem. I will deal with it myself. You don't have to do anything, and you mustn't do it without me knowing, got It?” She had always known that Jenna was a little too intelligent and mature for her age. However, being precocious doesn't mean that her mind and psychological will mature together. She doesn't want her to have too much exposure to the dark world of adults because of her. It will not be beneficial for her growth. She even began to regret asking her to investigate Joanna: Luckily, she had realized it early. She should not repeat this mistake in the future. The little one didn't know what she was thinking about
"What?” Bethany paused. Zayn saw that she wasn't moving and frowned, "What are you waiting for? you have a meeting in a moment." ”Okay”.When she heard "meeting", Bethany immediately reacted. She took the bag and walked towards the break room. When she entered, she could smell the scent of mint. She suddenly realised this was also Zayn's room. She was taking a shower in his room!Bethany turned around and looked at the door of the break room, her face flushed. Quickly, the stickiness on her body made her calm down. She took a deep breath but didn't think much more, she went for her shower. When Zayn heard the water in the break room, he stopped the pen in his hand. He was organising his documents, his dark eyes looking toward that room. After a while, he suddenly got up, he restlessly sorted his tie, then he pulled out a drawer, from inside he took out a box of cigarettes and went to the balcony. He felt the cold wind that was blowing outside. He rubbed his temples. Only then did
"Sit!" Zayn did not reply. but pointed to the chair opposite with his chin. She walked to the chair and thanked him before sitting down. Zayn clasped his hands and went straight to the point, "As mentioned during the last meeting, how are your preparations for this year's autumn collection?" "It's about done,” Bethany answered. "Did you save your work?" Zayn asked. "Yes." She nodded. Zayn swivelled his laptop around and pushed it towards her. Bethany entered her password and then pushed the laptop back towards zayn and said, "Mr. Meyer, it's done." Zayn acknowledged and started to work with the mouse. He looked at it for several seconds before realising something, and called for Gael, and said, "Get Ms. Quest a cup of coffee and a piece of black forest cake." "Mr. Meyer…” She wanted to say that there was no need but Gael answered first, "Okay, I'll prepare them.” He then turned to look at Bethany and left. He was wondering why the president had been asking him to buy a Cake in
Zayn was stunned. Gael who was driving the car was equally shocked and almost veered off the road: What did he just see? The president was forcefully kissed by Bethany? “Hey, why can I bite it off?” Bethany did not know what she was doing. She only knew that she could not bite off the jelly and was rather upset. She then bit down even stronger as if she just had to eat the piece of jelly. Zayn was moaning in pain and started to taste blood in his mouth. He knew by then. that she had bitten through his skin. Even then, Zayn did not push Bethany off. Instead, he just continued to look at her. He stared at her for a while before grabbing the back of her head and kissing her passionately. Gael was secretly looking at them. He quickly looked away when he saw Zayn take the initiative and kiss Bethany. He dared not look any more and quickly raised the partition. Bethany began to enjoy the kiss and slumped in his embrace. She might slide down the seat.If Zayn hasn't been hugging her,
…..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
