After she said that, everyone looked at her with shock written all over their faces.

Danica was so angry that she almost ripped the placard into many pieces.

‘Was this woman purposely going against me to make me lose face in front of others? How dare she go against me like this?!’

How would Danica allow something like this? She lifted the placard once again.

Everyone thought that Danica would add on a few million dollars. However, she only added a million.

The moment she finished saying that, Bethany said nonchalantly,“ 20 million ”.

“What!? Wow!”. Everyone exclaimed.

Danica could not stand this anymore as she tried to suppress the fire of rage inside of her and glared at Bethany.

Then, she forced out an innocent and sweet smile to Bethany.

“Miss, were you hired by the other party to come here and deliberately inflate the price? Everyone knows that my fiancé is going to buy this shop for me as my birthday present. Could it be that you enjoy stealing things from others?”

    After coming out of the hall, Danica, who had been looking for Zayn, finally heaved a sigh. “Zayn? Why are you here? The woman....l." Without saying a word. Zayn ignored Danica as he headed home straight. Danica felt very miserable when she was left behind like this. So, she stormed out of the place with her long gown cupped into her hands as she looked around dejectedly. Soon after, her eyes fell on a car parked a few miles away from the hotel. She tottered over in anger. “Why did it take you so long to come to fetch me? Are you tired of your jobb already?"Danica tried to vent her anger at the driver. “I'm so sorry, Miss Danica; it's just that the traffic was a bit jam-packed." Without saying any more words, she got into the car as her expression remained clouded with anger. Who is this lady who dares to berate and humiliate me in front of others? I need to see the face behind that ugly veil!’ Danica thought as she clenched her fists. On the way, Danica contacted her most trus

    “I'm waiting outside. I have the video with me as well." Hesper said this to the person on the other end of the line as soon as the phone was connected. “Just wait outside the gate. Someone will pick you up just now." After that, the call was disconnected. Within a twinkle of an eye, a black car soon stopped right in front of Hesper.

Back in the mansion, Danica got fed up after seeing Matilda come back into the house after escorting Vesper to the gate. “Wow, I see that you have become such a good keeper of the helpers. Isn't it ironic that you are so friendly with a maid who dared to raise her brows to me? Are you maybe cooking up some silly plots in your head against me, Aunt? If that's the case, then I wouldn't be so kind as to let you stay in my house if I found out what you were up to,

    A car suddenly stopped in front of an old warehouse. It was already dark at night, so the environment could not be seen clearly. Bethany came out of the car. She was dressed in a black dress with a hoodie and a mask covering her face; her fair skin was hidden underneath the black clothes. Jacob came down as well and walked over to meet Bethany, as he wanted her to take the next step. In the next split second, Bethany raised her head to look at the warehouse building in front of her before she started walking. Then, Jacob trailed after her with AirPods fixed in his ears as he waited for any information that might come in. After walking into the building, a man soon appeared from one of the rooms as he sped up to meet up with Bethany. “This way, ma'am, he's in the center hall,” Darin said as he beckoned Bethany to walk in the direction that he was pointing. “What did he say? Did he reveal the identity of the person who sent them already?” Bethany asked with her eyes fixed on the r

    Her boyfriend! Danica felt a thorn in her heart. When she met her at the KFC, she remembered she was wearing a ring on her ring finger. Was she engaged?

She got back to the house and went straight to her room since Jordan was still staying at the Meyers. However, Zayn was supposed to bring him over later tonight. Upon getting to her room, she dropped her bag on the bed and sat beside it with an aggrieved expression.

    Bethany had not recovered yet. If she fought with Joanna now, she would be at a loss.Bethany stood there and did not move. She looked at her coldly and said with a cold smile, “Dare you to touch me? Don't forget what's in my hand. If you hit me, I promise you will be punished. You should be satisfied to be a puppet for others now. Otherwise, you will spend the rest of your life in jail."When Joanna thought about the recordings, she immediately turned away.She could not go to jail, and putting her hand down was her last resort. Joanna did not dare to hit Bethany anymore.While she was angry, an idea suddenly came to her, and she laughed. She narrowed her eyes and said meaningfully, "Bethany, don't be complacent. As I told you, your chances haven't been confirmed yet. Would you not want to know the truth?"After she finished speaking, Joanna left.Bethany looked at her disappearing silhouette meaningfully. She would find out what she meant by herself in the future.Then she went back,

When it's about his work, it was always a big no that he could not tolerate anyone questioning his authority or decisions.

    “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?

    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.
