The elevator was very quiet. Occasionally there were sounds of music coming from the direction of the banquet hall.
Shirley played with her phone for a while, and looked at the time. It had been almost half an hour. Ronald said that he would not stay for long.
She stood up and was about to head back to the banquet hall when she heard a series of footsteps coming from the direction of the guest room in the other side of the corridor and approaching her.
"Mr. Rowe, my son could return safely thanks to your help this time. If you need any help in the future, just tell me and I will try my best!" A middle-aged man's voice was heard.
"Mr. Dennis, you are so welcome. I came back this time because I happen to deal with some matters and did not come back specifically to send your son back. It's just a favor. Do not take it seriously." Another man replied in a low voice.
When Shirley heard the second voice, she felt that it was very familiar. She unconsciou
Shirley was terrified. She reached out her hand to push the man in front of her, but there was a huge difference in their physical strength, making her unable to push him away.In a moment of desperation, she could only raise her knee and forcefully strike the man's fatal point. The man's fatal point was injured by her, so he instantly squatted down on the ground with a pained expression. He became sober."Bitch, how dare you kick me..." He raised his head, looked at Shirley's frightened face, and gritted his teeth as he cursed.Taking advantage of his pain, Shirley turned around and escaped.Noticing that, the man immediately pushed the door and called out, "Stop drinking. Hurry up and come out."A few delinquent young men in the room immediately threw down their wine glasses and ran out.The man pointed at Shirley's back and said, "Capture that bitch back to me. She dares to kick me."Upon hearing this, these hoodlums immediately ga
In the apartment.Because they knew Ronald would not come over for dinner, Elizabeth and Jagger had dinner early.Monica and Kiley brought Jagger to the garden on the top floor to look at the stars, while Elizabeth sat on the sofa to rest.In the early stages of pregnancy, her reaction was not obvious, but she was a little more lethargic than usual.She turned on the television and looked at the news. It was broadcasting news about the renovation of the old area.Elizabeth found that the residential area that had been renovated was the small apartment that her good friend Alondra had rented back then.She had even been taken in by her for a few days.In order to prevent Ronald from finding herself, she had never contacted Alondra ever since she left the country.Now that she was back, she could refuse to meet anyone else, but she had to meet her best friend.Picking up her phone, she found Alondra's previous phone number
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth's face was immediately filled with embarrassment, "Jagger, you're the elder brother. You can't scare a little baby like this.""But the baby is bad. He's causing trouble." Jagger hurriedly tried to defend."Little fool, it was the same when you were in mommy's belly." Elizabeth said with amusement."Really?" Jagger shook his cute head, "Then can I go into mommy's belly again? I'm going to take care of the baby and make him be good and not make trouble.""...""Jagger, because the little baby is small, little baby is in mommy's belly. You have grown up and you are elder brother now. You can't go into mommy's belly anymore, okay?" Kiley hugged him tightly in her arms, and said.Monica then helped support Elizabeth get up from the sofa, "Ms. Hubbard, let's go to the garden to get a breath of fresh air."Elizabeth nodded. Although she was awake, her mind was still a little dizzy.When Ronald arrived, El
"Mommy won't be going with you. Mommy made an appointment with an old friend today. Have fun with daddy." Elizabeth said."Who?" Ronald suddenly asked at this time."Huh?" Elizabeth was startled, then reacted, "Oh, it's Alondra. It's been a few years since I have contacted with her. As I'm back now, I want to meet her.""Address. I'll let the driver to send you there." Ronald said."No, thanks. I... can go by myself.""I am not for you, but for the child in your belly." Ronald explained deliberately."..." Elizabeth's face showed some embarrassment. It seemed like she was thinking too much, "It's on Glassville Avenue.""I told the driver to wait for you downstairs." After saying this, Ronald walked out.Elizabeth sent them off with her gaze. Looking at the time, it was already 8:30 AM.She went back to her room, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.Sure enough, the driver was waiting for her downstairs. She g
There were barely any people in the community, so the car stopped in front of an old building under Alondra's guidance.After getting out of the car, the driver took the shopping bag from the trunk. Elizabeth asked, "Alondra, which floor do you live in? We'll send you up.""No... No, thanks. I live in the fifth floor, and there are no elevators. You guys rarely climb the stairs." Alondra seemed to not want them to go up at all, and hurriedly waved her hands.But the more she was like this, the more Elizabeth was worried. She clearly remembered that Alondra's husband said on the phone that if she was unable to get home within ten minutes, he would teach her a lesson.Ten minutes had already passed. She was worried that that man would really do something that would be bad for Alondra.If she followed Alondra in, at least he would give more face to Alondra since there were guests at home, so it wouldn't make things difficult for Alondra."I'm a
Alondra was brought out of the Baxter's by Elizabeth.As soon as they went downstairs, they got in the car."Ms. Hubbard, where are we going now?" The driver asked."Whatever, as long as we leave this place." After Elizabeth finished speaking, she turned her gaze towards Alondra who was by her side with her head bowed."Alondra, aren't you going to tell me something?" she asked.In her heart, she was actually very angry. She did not understand why Alondra had become so weak.This was not the lively and cute girl that she knew at all.Alondra raised her head, her eyes were red and tearful, "What do you want me to say? This is my life. I have no choice.""What do you mean you have no choice? Can your parents accept what they've done to you?" Elizabeth did not believe it."So what if they don't accept? They acknowledged their son-in-law, and the child in my belly is about to give birth. Could it be that I divorce him now an
She didn't know how long this embrace continued for, and then she reluctantly raised her head from his embrace and said softly, "I met Alondra today, and I saw that she's not happy these days."As if talking to herself, she murmured, "She marries a man, but that man treats badly to her. I want to help her get out of that family, but I find I don't know what to do.""Alondra used to be such a lively and cute girl, but you don't know what she looks like now. If she didn't walk in front of me today, I wouldn't even recognize her.""I told her I wanted to help her, but she didn't need it. Is she angry with me, and that's why she rejected me?"Elizabeth Hubbard endlessly told him about the situation when she met Alondra during the day.After Ronald heard her words, he was silently for a moment, and then asked, "You think you can help her?""I don't know. I just want to help her." she replied."How naive you are." These words came out of hi
Oliver reported the situation. After he finished speaking, he was also angry in his heart.After hearing everything he said, Ronald finally understood why Elizabeth was so sad, and understood why her life was praised by others.If these words came from Alondra's mouth at this time, it would not be a surprise.If she married into such a family, how could she not be envious of the current Elizabeth who had nothing to worry about?"CEO, you asked me to investigate the matter of Alondra in the middle of the night. You want to meddle in this?" Oliver had always understood Ronald, and knew that he was definitely not someone who would meddle in other people's business.He would never care about something that did not concern him."It's not that I have to meddle in it, and it's that someone is feeling sad and troubled over this matter.""Elizabeth has always been a kind-hearted person, and now that someone has met with such misfortune and tha
"So, he was a hero who saved you, who caused Ms. Pollard to have heart touched?" Elizabeth could not help but tease.Shirley's face reddened, but she shook her head, " Not either. I don't know when I started liking him. Well, it's not that I like him. It's that he won't be with me.""Then I'm willing to stay with you! Sister, stay with me. I'll buy you a beautiful dress, and I'll even buy you delicious food." Jagger threw away the toy in his hand at an unknown time and moved his head closer, swearing solemnly.Hearing this, Elizabeth didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why is you everywhere? Go over there and help Monica.""She can take care of it herself. She doesn't need help, but this beauty needs me more now." As he talked, he walked in front of Shirley and spread open his arms, grabbing onto her arms, "Beautiful sister, you don't have to be sad. I will treat you well."Shirley was shocked by the actions of Jagger, but she still maintained he
"Why are you looking for me?" Zackary did not continue to discuss this topic with her. He knew that no matter what he said, he would not be able to dispel the feelings Shirley had for him.Shirley remembered that she had business to attend to and immediately replied, "Oh right, I came to invite you to attend Ronald's party with me.""A party? What party?" Ronald wanted to organize a party, but unexpectedly did not directly send him an invitation."It's just a small gathering for a few people. Elizabeth, you know about it, right? She was exactly Jayden' wife from before, but was actually the lover of Ronald, and because of some misunderstanding, she married Jayden. However, the misunderstanding has been resolved, and they have reconciled once again. "Shirley explained.Hearing that, Zackary's face lit up, "I understand." No wonder he felt that there was something strange between Jayden and Elizabeth earlier.He suddenly understood the reason for the
At this time, Zackary was in the conference room having a meeting. When he heard the bell, he looked at the caller ID, but did not pick up. Instead, he gave the phone to Kellen beside him.When Kellen saw that it was Shirley calling, he immediately stood up and left the conference room, and picked up the phone, "Hello ... Ms. Pollard.""Kellen? Why did you pick up the phone? Where's Zackary?" Shirley asked with some surprise."The boss is in a meeting right now. What can I do for you?" Kellen said."You come down and help me stop the car. Your company's parking space is too full, I can't find a place to park. I'll hand the car key over to the security guards at the door. "" Okay. "After Shirley finished speaking, she ended the call and got out of the car, walked to the main entrance and threw the key in her hand into the hands of the security guards."Miss, your car can't be parked here, please drive away." The security guard quickly said."
"Then there can only be two possibilities, either Tanya tricked her or she tricked us. However, if she knew that Jayden had burned to death, she should not have pretended not to know. "Brianna analyzed, then said, "Immediately find someone to investigate Tanya. I want to personally ask her what exactly happened?""Alright, I will instruct the people to find the private detective and find Tanya." Alivia knew that she would know what she had told Elizabeth back then after finding her, and would also know what had happened when Elizabeth left that year."Also, find someone to keep an eye on Elizabeth and investigate where she is staying and who she is with. If the child is still alive, we will definitely be able to find the child. "Brianna added."Mm, I understand." Alivia agreed and immediately went to the side. She picked up her phone and followed Brianna's instructions to find someone.Elizabeth came out of Brianna's villa, got on a taxi and went straight
Elizabeth couldn't answer the question.Of course she could not tell Brianna that the child was not Jayden'. Even if Brianna did believe her, she might not be able to accept it, but it was just that the answer was too much of a shock for her, and she would not let her off.But if she did not say the truth, Brianna would definitely want this child to be part of Jayden's lifespan.Back then, when Jayden said he wanted to marry her, he also wanted to keep the child in her womb as a precaution against his leaving one day in order to comfort his parents?What should she do?How could she answer that?Elizabeth was in a dilemma."I'm asking you a question. Why didn't you answer my question? Where's my grandson? Where is he? "Seeing that Elizabeth was quiet for a long time, Brianna became anxious and her tone became more serious."I'm sorry ..."Elizabeth steeled her heart and raised her head to look at Brianna.Hearing that, Br
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
