"Yes, I understand. Please do not worry, Mr. Hubbard." Oliver carefully received the phone, and said with a face full of assurance.
"By the way, don't damage this phone. Don't delete everything in it." Ronald bowed his head and thought about it for a while, and then continued.
"Okay. Mr. Hubbard, if there was nothing else, I will head out first." Oliver felt that the white phone in his hand had become a lot heavier, causing him to have no choice but to hold it carefully.
"Got it." Ronald waved his hand numbly, as if he had been lost in thought.
Seven days later.
In the morning, Elizabeth had woken up early and brought Jagger to the hospital. She was nervous and uneasy.
After sending Jagger in the ward, she was led by the attending physician to the obstetrics and gynecology department on the third floor for a pregnancy test.
When she returned to the office of the hematology department on the fifth floor to wait for the results, she loo
When she opened the door, sure enough, a waiter had delivered the food."Good morning, Miss. Here's your breakfast." The waiter pushed the dining car into the room, and then he took the dining plates down from the dining car and placed them on the table beside him. He then picked up a morning newspaper that was placed on the table next to the dining table and said, "I wish you a pleasant meal."Elizabeth looked at the big picture of Ronald on the front page of the morning newspaper. The content of the photo was the one of Ironville Group and Pollard Group had collaborated to buy the Terrific Internation Tour Corporation. She rolled her eyes suddenly and then looked at the waiter who was about to leave, "Wait a moment."Then she quickly walked to the bedside, took out a hundred cash from her bag on the clothes rack and handed it to the waiter as a tip. "This is for you."The waiter didn't expect his customer to be so straightforward and generous. He receiv
"Ms. Hubbard, what are you saying? Don't worry. I will help you find the information you need in less than an hour." When Kolby heard that she wanted someone else to investigate it, he immediately changed his tone and promised.After hanging up the phone, Elizabeth immediately changed her clothes. After packing her luggage, she walked out with her luggage.Arriving at the main hall, she checked out of the hotel. Then she got on a taxi and headed towards Mench Hotel.Mench Hotel was the most luxurious five-star restaurant in the Lochapple. It was said that in the initial stages of construction, they were prepared to declare to be six stars. For some unknown reason, they were only evaluated as five stars. Even so, it was still the best hotel in the Lochapple.As a hotel tycoon, Ironville Group had always been eyeing Mench Hotel covetously. Ronald had thought of purchasing Mench Hotel, but later on, Ironville Group adjusted their strategy and expanded the ho
When he approached the door, he raised his hands and gripped the handle. With a gentle twist, the door was opened from outside. What he could see was a large bed. Under the light that shone in from the outside of the living room, he vaguely saw a person lying on the bed under a blanket.As he entered the room, he habitually raised his hand to press the switch on the wall. At this moment, it was unknown whether Elizabeth, who was hiding under the blanket, had sensed his attempt to switch on the light, so she nervously said through the blanket, "Don't turn on the light, please..."Because Elizabeth's head was covered under the blanket, and her voice had been filtered out by the blanket, Ronald was unable to hear the voice that he should have been familiar with, and could only hear the contents of the message clearly.Was it because she was shy that she didn't want him to turn on the light?"What's your name?" Ronald's hands stopped in midair, and did not tu
"Liar. Mommy is lying. You're a witch... You don't have a baby in your belly. You don't have a baby at all. I want daddy. I still want my daddy..." As he spoke, he began to cry again."You little fellow... How can I lie to you? It really is a baby, but the baby is only too little now. Next year, when the baby grows up, the baby can come out and play with you. Don't cry, okay? If you cry, Mama will cry." Elizabeth did not expect that the elder he got, the harder it would be to coax him. She patiently consoled him."Does the baby have a daddy?" Jagger stopped crying and asked in a serious tone."Um... This... This..." Elizabeth was troubled by his question again."Is he like me, a poor child without a daddy? Hum... As the children of mommy, why are all of us so pitiful? We have no daddy. We are so pitiful.""That's enough. Isn't it just a daddy? I'll just give him to you." Elizabeth was almost driven mad by the noise, so she opened her mouth quickly
"We can't see him today. Mommy must send you to the hospital first, and make the arrangements for you to be hospitalized. After I've settled you down, I'll go to find your daddy and let him come over to see you, okay?" Elizabeth said as she walked."Can't we see him today? How long will it take? Mommy, you aren't trying to lie to me again, are you?" He looked up at her with suspicion."..." Elizabeth sighed, there was nothing she could do, "It spent us a lot time on the plane. We are already very, very tired, do you want daddy to see us in such a tiring state?""Well, you're right. Remember to dress up prettily when you go to see daddy. I'm afraid that daddy will pretend not to know you when he sees you without femininity." He warned her again and again."Got it. Got it. You're really long-winded. Do you want to carry a small bag for yourself? Mommy has to carry a lot of luggage, so I can't do anything anymore." At the place where they were supposed to pi
In the CEO office of Ironville Group, Ronald had just signed a document and was handling the remaining contracts in his hands.Oliver walked in from outside with an invitation in hand, "Mr. Hubbard, this is the invitation that the mayor sent over. In the day after tomorrow, the mayor's son will hold a wedding ceremony.""Got it. Let Kyra add it in my schedule. You make time to prepare a wedding present for me." Ronald instructed without raising his head."Yes, I understand." Oliver nodded, then prepared to leave."Wait..." Ronald raised his head and called out to him."Mr. Hubbard, do you have any other instructions?" Oliver stopped and turned to face Ronald as he asked."Did the private detective find anything?" Ronald paused for a while and asked.Oliver knew that he wanted to ask Elizabeth about her situation, so he replied, "No, but the moment there is any news, they will contact me immediately.""Go out." Hearing that, Ron
When Elizabeth walked in, she saw Ronald working at a table."What is the matter?" When Ronald heard the door opening, he thought that the secretary had come in, so he asked without looking up."It's me." Elizabeth stood behind the closed door. She said it softly, not daring to move closer.When Ronald heard this extremely familiar voice in the past, he suddenly looked up as if he had been provoked by something.Currently, Elizabeth in front of him was wearing a black dress that revealed her shoulders and a white hat with a wide brim. She was so beautiful that it was hard to look away.After staring at her for a long while, Ronald finally snapped out of his shock from seeing her. When his expression slowly changed from shock to cool, he looked away, and threw the pen in his hand towards the table in front of him. He folded his arms across his chest, and leaned lazily on the back of the chair, looking at the lady who appeared out of nowhere without
"Oliver, take her away." Ronald spoke in a somewhat exhausted voice. His tone was extremely disappointed."Ms. Hubbard, please..." Oliver said to Elizabeth.Elizabeth's mouth was agape, and she still wanted to say something. Oliver quickly reached out to pull her away, his tone becoming heavier, "Ms. Hubbard, follow me."Elizabeth understood that if she continued to stay here, it would only make Ronald even angrier. Since they were already at the hospital, and Ronald was guarding them, she was not too worried.Turning her head to look at Oliver, she realized that he seemed to have something he wanted to say to her. After thinking for a bit, she followed Oliver and left the emergency room.After leaving the hospital, they got in the car parked in front of the entrance.Closing the door, Oliver started the car, "Ms. Hubbard, where are you living now?""Oliver, you can just call me Elizabeth. I live in in the hospital ward of the childre
When Jagger returned and saw Shirley, there was no need to mention how happy he was. In an instant, he stuck to her and took apart the toys in her arms.Shirley seemed to like him a lot as well, and patiently played with him for a good while.It wasn't until the time to eat that Elizabeth finally carried Jagger to his own child's seat.Ronald left the company at noon and went to the apartment for lunch.At the dining table, when Shirley saw them looking so happy, she couldn't help but sigh emotionally, "If Ronald hadn't married me in order to help me back then, you three would definitely have been even happier than you are now.""Don't mention the past." Ronald knew that she always felt a little guilty and felt that she was the one who had separated him and Elizabeth."It's good to be like this for now." Elizabeth added.Shirley smiled casually, "Alright, I know you guys are treating me well. Let's eat."They chatted and laughe
After Alvaro left, Oliver then set his gaze back on Ainsley who was in a sorry state, "Monica, may I trouble you to bring this young miss to the female restroom to tidy up.""Alright."Monica agreed, then turned to Ainsley and said, "Let's go."Ainsley looked deeply at Oliver, and without a word, she followed Monica out.After settling this matter, Jagger immediately started to admire Oliver, "Uncle Gardner, you're awesome. You beat up that bad guy.""You're the best, kid. You even know how to save a beauty,"Oliver carried him and laughed."Uncle Gardner, that sister is so pitiful. Can we help her?" Jagger asked again at this time.Hearing this, Oliver looked at him with a smile: "How do you want to help her?"Jagger shook his heads. "I don't know either.""Alright, leave this matter to me. We have come down long enough,and I will ask Monica to bring you to see daddy, okay?"Oliver said.After think
Although he didn't know what the two people next door were talking about, he could obviously tell that the man was bullying the woman. Out of a sense of righteousness, he picked up his pants and left the toilet, walking to the door next door. Reaching out his hand, he pushed open the door that wasn't locked in time."Bastard, let go of that lady!" His voice was full of vigor, his pretty sword-like eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and he had an expression of hatred for evil.The man and woman in the bathroom were shocked by the sudden appearance of this little kid. The man turned his fat body around and looked at Jagger standing at the door, "Kid, where did you come from? Hurry up and get out of. Do you believe that I won't beat you up?"Being scared by him, Jagger immediately started to wail.Monica who was outside heard the crying coming from inside. She did not care that this was the male restroom and rushed in.She saw Jagger standing at
"Daddy has to work." Elizabeth said."Then let's go to the place where Daddy works and play. We went his company last time. There are so many beautiful young ladies there. "He was infatuated with the scene of being surrounded by a group of beauties. It was so nice."No, Daddy is busy at work and doesn't have time to accompany you." Elizabeth rejected without thinking.In truth, that was still the main reason, as though she was really bringing Jagger to the company. If someone saw them, it would definitely cause a huge commotion, and once the relationship between Jagger and Ronald got exposed, it would cause a huge commotion, and she did not dare take such a risk.Hearing this, his small mouth curled up and his expression became very sad. "Hum ...I miss my dad so much, I want to see my dad so much... Mommy is bad, you don't want me to go look for daddy ..."Saying that, he jumped down from the chair, ran to the side of the sofa in the living room, p
"What do you mean? Do you have any good ideas? "Hearing that, Asher immediately became spirited again and asked."Since the money is already in someone else's pocket, you will definitely not get it. However, this resentment is not impossible. Do you know of Zackary's background? "Teagan asked."I'm not too sure. I just know that he is a CEO of Silverash Group." Asher said."You don't even know his background, and you dare to bet with him on your wealth. You are doomed to losing.""You don't need to say such sarcastic words. If you have any good ideas, then hurry up and tell me." Asher was already regretting his impulsive actions before, and he did not want to hear any words that would cut him down while he was down.Teagan thought for a while, then said, "As far as I know, Zackary Rowe had relationship with the gang in the United States.""What?" Hearing that, Asher was shocked."So, you should be glad that the person did not succeed
After Shirley finished drinking the ginger soup, she laid on the bed, but for some reason, she could not fall asleep no matter how she tossed and turned.Outside the window, the rain gradually lessened. Occasionally, a few drops would be hit by the wind, but no sound would be produced.During her chat with Danica today, she found out quite a lot about him.She now knew the reason why he hadn't returned to the country in four years.She hadn't thought that after she was saved by him that year, he would not only be shot, but would also be in so much trouble.The problem had not been resolved until today, and he could be in danger of losing his life at any moment now.When she thought back to how he had caused Asher to lose everything and directly let him find someone to take his life, she couldn't help but admire his abilities.He always had the means to provoke people and put himself in danger.When she thought about the gamblin
Shirley knew that Danica would not give up until she got an accurate answer from her tonight.But how could she describe to her the past between her and Zackary?"I'm not lying to you, your brother and I...We did know each other before, but not for long..." She thought for a moment before replying."Then do you like my brother?" Danica saw that her words did not seem to be fake, and asked again."En... This ..."Shirley herself had yet to figure out what kind of emotion she had towards Zackary."With such hesitation, it looks like you like him." Danica answered for her.Hearing that, Shirley hurriedly shook her head, "No ... No, I don't know him at all. How could I like him?""Who says you have to like someone after know him? Don't you know that love at first sight? I like someone just by seeing him once. You and my brother have met many times already, right? Like is one kind of feeling, which is ..."Danica said as she racked her
"Get in the car." His tone was commanding, not allowing her to resist at all. The hand holding her wrist was also very strong, making it impossible for her to break free.Pulling her to the secondary driving seat, he released her and opened the car door. She was involuntarily pushed into the car by him.Her entire body was completely drenched, and the rain instantly drenched the seat.Zackary turned around and walked to the side of Driver. He put away the umbrella, and threw it in the back seat, then sat on the Driver himself.Zackary started the car and drove forward. She looked at him coldly and with a face full of displeasure, and said, "What are you doing? I don't need you to send me off.""Is that so?" he asked quietly."Yes, stop the car and let me go." Shirley didn't even fasten her seatbelt as she shouted directly.However, Zackary ignored her and focused on driving."Did you hear me tell you to stop the car? Who do you
Shirley followed Zackary out of the villa and they walked along the main road.At that time, no one said a word. Occasionally, the buzz of insects could be heard; it was extremely quiet."Today's weather is really good." After an unknown period of time, Shirley felt that this quiet atmosphere was simply too strange, so she started to say something.As soon as she finished speaking, it started to drizzle."Looks like you like rain." Zackary looked at her, amused.Under the dim yellow light, his face was covered by a layer of hazy mist. His sharp blade-like facial features had also softened quite a bit. In addition to the smile in the depths of his eyes, he looked increasingly handsome and charming.This time, she felt awkward. The gods were not giving her face, and they just slapped her in the face every now and then.Shirley wanted to bite off her tongue for a moment."There's a pavilion ahead. Take shelter from the rain." Zack
