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
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
The main hall of the presidential suite was covered with a thick cashmere carpet imported from New Zealand. Handmade with care, it felt soft and plush underfoot as if one was stepping on clouds.However, given the circumstances, even if Elizabeth really stepped on the clouds, she wouldn't have enjoyed it.Ronald walked to the side of the sofa and sat down. Elizabeth followed beside him and wanted to speak, but she did not know what to say.She wasn't even sure if Ronald had recognized her or not.If he hadn't remembered her from the start, then her current awkward silence would only seem absurd."Um...Mr. Marquez, what would you like for dinner?' she asked, forcing a smile. 'We've prepared a menu for you, and I'll show it to you now."Although she did not wanna be his housekeeper, she had to carry out her duties now that the situation had already forced her into the position.She turned around and walked over to the bookshelf. Then she took down a menu they had prepared beforehand and
In the evening, Ronald and Oliver left the hotel for the banquet. When Elizabeth returned back to her office, she heard people whispering among themselves."Do you know? Mr. Marquez's background is incredible. He's the boss behind the biggest consortium in our country and the leader of the Imperial Group.""Really? No wonder Mr. Booth is so nervous. Many big shots had come here, but I had never seen him so cautious like this.""How can he not be cautious? No one before has such an identity. I really envy Ms. Hubbard. She can Mr. Marquez! Since Ms. Hubbard is so beautiful, could it be that she is lucky and Mr. Marquez gets his eye on her, and directly takes her back to be his wife?""Don't talk nonsense. If that housekeeping girl heard it, she would blame you. Her position as the housekeeper was taken away. You can't imagine how jealous she is now."They were whispering to each other, and neither of them noticed that there was a figure approaching them from the other side."You have no
Elizabeth looked at her phone, she was stunned for half a second before she quickly stood up and went downstairs.The Wildecastle Club was the highest-class private club in Swynwick. Although Elizabeth had never been here before, as a hotel employee, she knew its reputation.Money alone couldn't buy admission to such a high-end club. Those members were highly privileged.It was not strange for such a big shot like Ronald to appear in this place.'But why did he ask me to come here?' thought Elizabeth.Filled with doubts, she got out of the car and headed for the lobby.When she was at the door, she was stopped by security guards."Sorry, ma'am. This is a private club, so only VIP members can enter."After Elizabeth heard this, she realized that she was still wearing the uniform of the hotel. It would be difficult to enter if she just dressed like this.Just as she was thinking about how to deal with the two security guards, she saw Oliver walking out from inside.'I invited her over.
"Stop..." She cried out in fear. While she was struggling, more than half of the collar of her shirt had been torn off by his other hand. Her clothes were instantly torn to shreds, causing her to feel both embarrassed and scared.Yet it seemed that he couldn't hear her voice.He only stopped when he was finally exhausted.Elizabeth didn't know how long the entire process had lasted. When he finally let her go and turned around to sleep soundly, she only felt as if she had been crushed by a heavy machine, and the pain was unbearable to endure.Tears had dried on her face, forming tear stains. After the panic, she turned her head to glance at the sleeping man beside her. Under the dim light, Ronald scarcely looked as indifferent as usual, and his facial features had become much gentler.Yet even so, she was afraid of him.After getting up and putting on the clothes that he had ripped off, she resisted the discomfort and stumbled out of the room.When Oliver brought the doctor back to th
After Elizabeth left, she did not return to the hotel but went straight back to the single apartment she rented.The first thing she did after entering the door was put in a large tub of warm water and soak herself in it. She tried to use the tub of water to ease the pain in her body.Closing her eyes, she could think of nothing but Ronald.She clearly remembered their first time, second time, third time ... until this time tonight, as though she were watching a movie.Although she didn't understand why he would be so crazy tonight, it was obvious that he had lost all sense of reason.'Was it because he was drunk?' Elizabeth wondered.'No, it couldn't be,' Elizabeth soon rejected her own theory. 'If he had been really wasted, he wouldn't have been able to do such a horrible thing. Even though I was at his service back then, he was still concerned about how I felt and tried his best to be gentle. Yet tonight... he was a total beast, wishing for nothing more than to eat me alive. That w
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
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
"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
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
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
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
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
He slowly walked to the side of the sofa. When he stopped in front of her, he looked down at her from above. A trace of affection flashed across his eyes that were as deep as ink.Elizabeth then raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. With her eyes filled with tears, she could not clearly see his expression.She stood up and reached out to grab his hand, "Can you let me leave with Jagger? I beg you. This place cannot accommodate us."When Ronald heard this, the trace of affection in his heart instantly disappeared, and his face abruptly turned cold, "Leave? Where do you want to go this time?""So what if I don't go? Could the Marquez family recognize Jagger? You and I are both very clear how great the commotion would be if Jagger's identity were to be revealed." Elizabeth wiped the tears off her face and said with a choked voice."So why did you marry Jayden back then? For revenge? If you hadn't married him, would things have come to
When Nola walked out of the master bedroom, she glanced at the guest room. Just as she was about to walk up, Monica thought that Elizabeth was still in there, so she hurriedly said, "This is the guest room. Mr. Marquez does not normally enter this room.""Is that so?" Nola did not care what kind of room this was. If the child's voice that she heard on the phone last night was Ronald's guest, he should have been living in the guest room.Without waiting for Monica to stop her, Nola immediately opened the door.The room was still neat and tidy. Nola glanced around, then walked to the wardrobe, opened the cabinet door. She found that there were a few women's clothes inside."Why are there women's clothes in the house?" She turned her head to look at Monica and asked.Monica shook her head, "About this, we are also not clear either. We will never ask about the personal matters of Mr. Marquez.""Tell me honestly, does Mr. Marquez have a girlfrien
