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
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

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."

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
