"Elizabeth, Ronald seemed to be calling you just now." However, Shirley was standing closer to Ronald, so she could hear him clearly.
Turning her head, Elizabeth revealed a natural smile and said, "He probably thinks that I'm still his butler. The moment he drank too much, he would ask me for some tea."
"So that's how it is. Looks like Ronald really relies on you." But unfortunately, you are now married to Jayden. Otherwise, it would really be good for me to make you continue being my butler." Shirley said with a heartless expression.
"The sobering tea will be ready in 15 minutes. You can go downstairs now and have a look. If you're ready, bring it over. Give him some tea to drink." Otherwise, he'll have a headache when he gets up tomorrow morning." Elizabeth said as she turned to look at Jayden, saying, "Let's go."
Jayden nodded at her and took her hand to leave.
When Ronald woke up, it was already 3 in the morning.
Shirley was beside him,
"What are you afraid of?" There was a trace of sarcasm in his voice, and his eyes were cold.Afraid?Was she afraid again?No, she wasn't!"It's not that I am afraid, it's just that it's inappropriate. If Shirley were to see it, she would have misunderstood."With their current relationship, this kind of action was way too intimate."Are you afraid that she will misunderstand, or do you already have a misunderstanding in your heart?" His voice wasn't loud, but the ridicule in his tone was very obvious.Being exposed, Elizabeth felt her face become even hotter. Knowing that he would not let go, she decided to stop resisting and only let him hold her hand like that.After Shirley left for a few minutes, she rushed over carrying the first aid kit.Seeing that the bleeding had stopped at this time, she slightly heaved a sigh of relief."Ronald, we have the first aid kit. How do we do this?" Opening the box, Shirley to
Through the glass, Ronald saw her reckless demeanor. His eyes dimmed a little as she turned around. He got on the Driver, started the car, and drove towards the Linhollow Garden.Halfway in the car, Shirley suddenly called.Because Ronald was driving, he used the car phone to connect the call. Excited voice came out from the audio system and echoed throughout the entire car."Ronald, how is it? Did you treat Elizabeth to something good?""Yes." Ronald replied."Then are you guys chatting? Did you have a good chat? How's the atmosphere for dinner?" Shirley's heart burned with the flames of gossip.Ronald felt that her question was a little straightforward. He turned around and saw Elizabeth looking down at her finger with a thoughtful expression."What are you trying to say? I'm on my way back." Ronald deliberately "reminded" her."Ah? You haven't sent her home yet? Alright then, I'll hang up first. I won't disturb you guys. You
"Isn't this Second Mr. Marquez? Long time no see." Someone brought a cup of wine over. It was the general manager of the Pollard Group, Camryn Pollard, who was also Shirley's uncle.Seeing the other party, Jayden immediately revealed a polite smile, "CEO Pollard, long time no see."Camryn knocked the cup against his own and then looked at Elizabeth, "This beauty looks unfamiliar; I've never seen her before. Where did Mr. Marquez dig out such a treasure, and why didn't you introduce her?"Tonight, Elizabeth was really too dazzling. From the moment she appeared to now, countless men's eyes were on her.Now that Camryn had made his inquiries, Jayden smiled as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. He introduced her, "Mr. Pollard, this is my wife, Elizabeth. Elizabeth, this is Mr. Pollard.""Hello, Mr. Pollard." Elizabeth politely extended her hand out towards the other party.After Camryn found out who she was, his exp
Elizabeth didn't want to bring up the past anymore, and she didn't care if he misunderstood her.Waving her hand, she looked cold and said, "It's all in the past. It doesn't matter what the truth is anymore.""No. This is very important, Elizabeth. If I hadn't misunderstood you, we wouldn't have broken up. You want the money just to treat your brother; I can give it to you. Then we'll be together forever, and we'll get married, and we'll have children, and we'll have a happy life, won't we?" An illusory expression appeared on Brogan's face.He was truly regretful and also vexed at his impulsive actions back then. After hearing his mother's words, he did not trust his lover at all."You said 'if', but there is no 'if' in this world. Isn't it good to end up like this? I'm getting married, and you're going to get married to the girl you love ..." Elizabeth looked out of the window, her gaze becoming somewhat ethereal.After Brogan heard her words, his
No matter where he stood, he was like a diamond that was absorbing all the attention and radiance from the world. Hence, it did not take her too much effort to find Ronald, who was trapped amongst a group of big shots of the Lochapple, and was slowly being toasted one by one.Because she was too anxious, when she rushed into the crowd and walked in front of him, her expression was somewhat soulless."Ronald, save, save him..." She reached out, grabbed his hand, and dragged him towards Jayden's direction.Seeing this, everyone had a face of doubt. "Miss, who are you?""Mr. Marquez, who is this lady?"Ronald didn't know what happened to make her so flustered. He stopped, and with a little bit of strength, he freed her soft, boneless hands. He looked at her coldly, and asked, "What are you doing?"Elizabeth turned around, and realized that many people were looking at her. She knew that Jayden didn't want others to see his sorry state when he ha
Inside the luxurious presidential suite, clothes were scattered all over the floor.The night was eerily quiet; only the sound of running water in the bathroom could be heard.Elizabeth Hubbard quietly lay on the bed, her clear black eyes fixed on the bathroom door. Her fists clenched beneath the quilt, creasing the bed sheets.With a creak, the bathroom door opened and a well-built man stepped out, the scent of shower gel lingering in the air.Ronald Marquez didn't even spare a glance at Elizabeth. Instead, he bent over to pick up the clothes on the floor. Then, he walked to the mirror and slowly put them on one by one."Sir..." Elizabeth called softly, her gaze fixed on his broad, muscular back."Um-hum," the man replied without turning, his voice indifferent."Th-this will be the last time. I'm able to cover my brother's medical expenses now," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, timidity written all over her face.Upon hearing that, Ronald paused for a moment, mid-motio
Upon hearing that, grim-faced Blaze instantly stood up and ordered, "Oh, dear! Hurry up and come with me to welcome our distinguished guest! Now!"Within moments, all the management staff in the meeting room stood up and followed the general manager out of the office, heading towards the elevator to go downstairs.Elizabeth was at the back, and as soon as she entered the elevator, the overloaded alarm went off.In his rush, Blaze waved at her. "Ms. Hubbard, take the next one."Elizabeth nodded and stepped out of the elevator.She waited for another three or four minutes before entering the next elevator. As she stepped into it, her cell phone rang from her pocket.It was Dalia Bender, a waiter from the housekeeping department, sending a picture that was clearly taken secretly.Dalia: "Our Mr. Mysterious is super gorgeous. Ms. Hubbard, hurry up and come down!"Elizabeth chuckled. She then casually zoomed in on the picture. With a single glance, she felt all the blood in her body congea
The moment Elizabeth met his gaze, a cold sweat broke out across her skin as if her heart had stopped beating.It was him. It was really him, the man who saved her brother's life two years ago, and also the man to who she lost her virginity."So she's the housekeeper you referred to?" He said in a low yet extremely magnetic voice.His gaze had already moved away from Elizabeth, and the expression on his face seemed to not have changed in the slightest.'Maybe he didn't recognize me at all?' Elizabeth hoped so.Blaze immediately turned to look at the elevator and saw Elizabeth standing there in a daze. He immediately made the introduction."Mr. Marquez, this is the manager of the housekeeping department, Elizabeth.""Ms. Hubbard, this is our distinguished guest, Mr. Marquez, who comes from the distant Lochapple. It's our great honor to have Mr. Marquez here." Even when Blaze was introducing him to Elizabeth, he did not forget to flatter Ronald.Speaking of Lochapple, he seemed to have

Because of her?Why did he call her?Hadn't it already been made clear between them?He wasn't the kind of person who couldn't bear to let her go. Moreover, if he really couldn't let her go; why would he choose to marry another woman?Why did he call her?The phone on the bedside continued to ring, but Elizabeth realized that she did not have the courage to answer it."Why aren't you answering the phone?" The door was pushed open, and Jayden walked in from outside. He saw Elizabeth standing by the bedside and staring at the cell phone that was ringing non-stop in a daze.Hearing the voice, Elizabeth immediately turned her head, somewhat panicking.Seeing her expression, Jayden walked over to her, looked at the caller ID, and picked up her phone."Don't ..." Elizabeth wanted to stop him, but he had already connected the call, "Hello?""Jayden, is that you? Where is Elizabeth?" The voice that came from the phone was
"Mother, Uncle Dyer. Nice to meet you." Jayden walked up a few steps and greeted Casey and Terry.Casey's eyes swept across her son-in-law and she nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Nice to meet you too."Elizabeth came back to reality and invited them into her house."This must be Mr. Marquez. Ah, he looks really young. I was wondering why Jayden was so handsome. It turns out his genes were good." Casey walked in, and when she saw Zion, she warmly went up to greet him.Terry followed beside her with a hypocritical smile."You're too kind; you are also young." Zion faked a smile and socialized with Casey, but his line of sight was always on Ainsley's body.At this time, Brianna also came out from the dining hall, smiling. "You are here. Please take a seat. Butler, make tea."The group sat down in the living room, and after a round of greetings, Brianna's gaze landed on Ainsley and Brogan. "You must be Elizabeth's sister and brother-in-l
"I'm not sure about the specifics either. Last night, Terry and Ainsley didn't go home. The moment I woke up this morning, I saw that little girl Ainsley running in from outside while crying. Her father was chasing after her, and when they entered her room, they had a huge argument."How is that possible? My father-in-law ..." Elizabeth could not imagine that her normally calm and dignified father-in-law would actually do something so outrageous."How is that impossible? I heard it with my own ears. Elizabeth, let me tell you that your father-in-law is not a good person. Stay away from him in the future, and, ah, I told you about this matter; you just hide it in your heart. Don't let your father-in-law know, understand?"Casey repeatedly warned from the other end of the phone, but Elizabeth's heart was churning intensely.Why did it have to be Ainsley?She was younger than her by two years; how could Zion do anything about it?"Hello ...?"
