"I've been back a couple of days already," Barbara said with a slight smile.Antonio rubbed the dragon head on his cane, "All these years, how have you been abroad?” He asked with a tone filled with supposed concerns. Barbara rubbed the emerald green ring, an heirloom from her grandmother, on her index finger, "Of course, I'm doing great. Look how young and lively I am. You, on the other hand..."She looked at his cane, then fixed her eyes on his white hair, and laughed, "You look way older than when we last saw each other seven years back. What?, has this person been sucking you dry?” Barbara pursed her lips at Daphne. Antonio coughed to hide his feelings of awkwardness and said nothing. Daphne could tell Barbara was dissing her, and raised a hand, ready to slap her. Bethany squinted, and grabbed Daphne's wrist, "Daphne, you'd best not to resort to violence Otherwise, I'll call the cops on you for assault and battery!” "You... ” Daphne glared at Bethany. Barbara then patted Beth
"Don't say that. It won't happen."Zayn frowned. Jessica smiled bitterly, saying, "Zayn, you knew about my health condition. And Dr. Emerson told me that even if I'm discharged from hospital after recovering, I cannot stay alive for more than ten years!" Then, she turned around and left, lonely. Zayn pursed his thin lips, then looked down from the railing, and ran after Jessica. On the first floor, Bethany stopped chatting with Barbara and looked up, towards the second floor's railing. Seeing no one there, she was a little confused. "What's wrong, sweet?" Barbara noticed something wrong with Bethany and looked up, but saw nothing. Bethany shook her head and said, "Nothing. It just felt like someone was looking at me. Maybe it's my illusion” "I think you're right." Barbara fixed Bethany's hair. Bethany blinked her eyes, saying.“ Did you see someone, Donnie?” “No, my girl is such a beauty, so it's strange if no one looked at you,” Barbara said with a smile. “Donnie!!' Bethany di
A week had passed. Bethany picked up her bag, put it on her shoulder, and left the room. Outside the hospital, she took a cab and left for work. Not far from where Bethany took the cab, a man sat in a black Mercedes. He turned around to the man in the back seat, "Mr. Meyer, Ms. Quest has left." “Of course,” Zayn saw it just now. He raised his chin slightly, "I saw it. Bring the nutritional supplement from the trunk to Addy, and tell her to put some in Vella's meals each time.Remember, remind her too..” "Be careful not to be found out by Ms. Quest, right? ” Gael interrupted him with a smile. Zayn took a glance at Gael silently and coldly.Gael was frightened by his glance and hurriedly got out of the car to get the things and walked into the hospital. Ten minutes later, he came back, holding his phone in his hand, and said, "Mr. Meyer, the bidding department just called me. They asked me if you wanted to go to the winter season fashion bidding." "When is it?" Zayn looked up from
Joanna frowned, "Tell me what?" Bethany smiled, "That I have a studio myself? And i'm sure you know my studio. You must not have forgotten It. My studio is called Blue Dreams” "What? Blue dreams is your studio?” Joanna was shocked, which even made her voice sharp. Bethany nodded, "That's right. I know you must be very surprised. Speaking of which, I bought the factory office of my studio with the few millions from you. As for the money to buy the machines? I have to thank Daphne for creating such a good opportunity for me to get other million from your father. Well, thank you both so much!" Knowing the truth, Joanna was so furious that her face twisted and she clenched her trembling fists tightly. She finally knew that the studio which sued her and made her lose all her money was owned by Bethany. The even more infuriating thing for her was that Daphne who was her own mother, knew that Bethany was the owner of the Blue dream studio but didn't tell her the truth. After taking a d
"She is too vicious," Roseanne was so angry that her whole body trembled, "No, Bethany!We must give her a lesson. Let's go find her right now.” "Roseanne, not yet," Bethany pulled at her sleeve to stop her,"We're here for the bidding. If you do something inappropriate, we will be on the blacklist of the organiser. It's not worth that. Let's wait until this is over.” Roseanne calmed dawn and stepped back, "You're right. It's not worth it. Let's go back to the hall." “Yeah." Bethany nodded. Then Roseanne helped Bethany walk back to the hall. Joanna had been keeping an eye on the entrance of the hall. When she saw Bethany walking with the help of Roseanne,she was first delighted and then angry again. She was first delighted because Bethany was injured as she expected. Then she became angry because she realized Bethany chose not to give up the bidding even so seriously injured. Zayn,in the private room on the second floor, also found Bethany injured.Zayn fixed his gaze on her feet
The man seemed to have figured out what Bethany was thinking. He stood up and smiled at her, "Hello, I'm Richard London, Mr.Remington’s secretary." "Secretary?" Roseanne was shocked and shouted, pointing at him,' "So you're not Mr.Remington?" "Mr. Remington had left because of something unexpected. He asked me to wait for you two." Richard replied. Bethany nodded, "So, why exactly did Mr.Remington invite us?" “Please have a seat first," Richard pointed to the sofa opposite his own. Roseanne helped Bethany walk over to the sofa and sit down. Richard poured both of them a cup of tea and then he explained, "We are from another city and we have never done business in Braeto city before. Since we happened to win this bidding today, we need a business partner to help us design and manufacture clothes for the winter season fashion show." "That's great. I have to tell you that Bethany..." Roseanne was going to praise Bethany's talent, but Bethany covered her mouth. "Sorry, she always
Bethany shrugged, not intending to answer the question. Roseanne laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She wiped her tears at the corner of her eyes and mocked Joanna,"Oh my god, my stomach hurts from laughing. Joanna,you don't even know that Mr.Remington is not here. How can you cooperate with Mr. Remington?" "What do you mean?" Joanna's heart started to thud. She thought, "Not here? So—" Joanna immediately shifted her gaze at Richard and said in a sharp voice, "You're not Mr.Remington" "I'm Mr Remington's secretary." Richard smiled. Joanna clenched her fists and roared at him,"Why didn't you tell me you're not Mr.Remington just now?" She was so furious at his embarrassing her in front of Bethany and Roseanne. Richard stretched out his hands innocently,"Miss Meyer, it's not that I didn't want to tell you, but you didn't give me the chance. You interrupted me twice. What can I do about that?" "That's right." Roseanne agreed, "It's you who just came in and didn't give R
Zayn frowned and wanted to say something but before he opened his mouth, Roseanne spoke first, "Hey, don't be that mean, alright? Mr. Meyer has explained that he helped Bethany because her foot was injured and she was unable to stand steady on herself. They did not do anything else. It's not like they're cheating on her. Besides, you caused Bethany's injury! Your brother is only helping Bethany for your sake!" "You!" Joanna got angry. When she was just about to retort, Zayn suddenly pulled her away. He looked down at Bethany's foot and shifted his gaze to her face, "Did Joanna do it?" Bethany 's red lips opened when she answered yes in a low voice. Zayn was pissed off and he looked at Joanna coldly and fiercely. Joanna turned pale and she subconsciously denied it, "Zayn, don't believe their nonsense! There Is no such thing." "What do you mean that there is no such thing? You dropped some essential oil on the ground outside the restroom to stop us from bidding. You made Bethany fa
