"No, no. I swore that I would not do it again for the rest of my life. I would rather die..." Shaking her head in fear, she refused to sell her body. But before she could finish speaking, she heard Ronald's lazy voice from above her head, "It's indeed a bad deal. Spending one billion to buy a butler is not worthy.""Huh?" What did he mean by that?"Butler...?" Did she misunderstand him? Elizabeth looked at him in a daze."What else do you want to do?" Ronald replied with a question deliberately.Elizabeth realized that she had thought too much, thus she went red as a beetroot in embarrassment immediately."Put the ice on your eyes, and then get someone to bring the lunch for me."With that, Ronald returned to the living room.Elizabeth pressed the ice bag against her burning face.What an embarrassment! She nearly misunderstood his meaning.Elizabeth hoped that he did not find out.***When Oliver returned to the hotel at night, the first thing he did was to place his phone in front o
After her boss left, Elizabeth was free now.She took a nap in her room in the morning, and at around 10 AM, she went downstairs to the employee cafeteria for lunch.In order to stagger the dining and rest time with the guests, the hotel usually started lunch at 10 a.m. in advance. The dinner was at 4 p.m. and there was a night snack at 8 o'clock.When Elizabeth came to the dining hall, she saw a lot of people.As usual, she rushed to the window to get her meal. She noticed that many people gave her strange looks and whispered to each other.What was going on?Did she wear the wrong clothes?She looked down at her work clothes out of curiosity. They were quite neat. There was nothing special.After dinner, she turned around to find a place to sit, only to see that not far away, Dalia was waving at her, "Elizabeth, come here."Seeing that, Elizabeth walked towards her immediately."Dalia, are you on the day shift today?"Dalia pulled her to the side, and looked at the people around her
She took the elevator to the office on the fifth floor.Elizabeth went straight to the Steward Department. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Giana talking gossip to Elsie Velez, who was the deputy manager of concierge department of finance department. They laughed happily."Frankly speaking, I always thought that Mr. Marquez liked her and decided to keep her as his butler. But when I saw her crying in the elevator yesterday, I realized that Mr. Marquez gave her a hard time, which she deserved. She had wishful thinking that she would be able to become a wealthy by hooking Mr. Marquez...""So unbelievable. She usually looks pure and indifferent. But it turns out that she has been pretending. In fact, she's an easy girl." Elsie commented with a look of despise, echoing Giana's view.When Elizabeth heard the conversation between them, she trembled with anger."Giana!" She shouted out loud and walked towards her, "You better clarify when did I hook Mr. Marquez?"Elizabeth's sudden a
"Hum, what would happen? He coveted what was in Grandpa's bank safe box." Ronald sneered. Then he turned and instructed the old butler who was standing by the side, "Deon, instruct everyone that, in the future, without my or Eldest Madam's permission, Second Master is not allowed to enter here.""Yes." Deon replied."Alright, you can go now. Oliver, let's go to the company." After Ronald finished speaking, he turned around and left.Seeing that, Deon said hurriedly, "Master Ronald, you ... Aren't you going to take a look at Eldest Madam?"Ronald paused. He turned and said, "No need. Give her my regards. Tell her that I still have important matters to deal with."When Deon heard this, a trace of regret flashed with his eyes, "If that's the case, she will be disappointed.""Will she?" Ronald's eyes became cold, and without looking back, he left.Deon watched him leave and sighed in his heart.After Ronald left, Deon turned around and went into a bedroom on the west side.A dignified and
Therefore, without hesitation, she immediately switched on the answer button and put the phone to her ear."Hey...""Elizabeth, I'm daddy..." A hoarse voice, distant and familiar, came from the other end of the line.The word 'daddy' wrenched at Elizabeth's heart, as if her small heart was ruthlessly stung by something.Having worked in Swynwick for over a year, this was the first time she received the call from her father."What's the matter?" Although she was very excited, she checked her excitement and asked in a trembling voice."Elizabeth, how have you been? Dad knows that you've found a good job, so you ..." Inside the phone, Pablo had not finished speaking, but he was interrupted by someone rudely, "Do not waste time. Give me your phone. Hey, are you Pablo's daughter? Let me tell you, your dad owes us 500,000 dollars. You had better quickly return us the money. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that your dad won't live to tomorrow."When Elizabeth heard this, a buzzing sound instant
Probably because she was concerned about the huge debt of five hundred thousand dollars, Elizabeth was in a daze along the way.By the time she realized that she had gone past the station and was about to get off, the train had already reached the next stop.She hurriedly grabbed her luggage and wanted to get out of the car, but to her surprise, the bag that she had placed by her side disappeared without a trace.How could this be?Where was her bag?Elizabeth instantly cried. That was her entire asset, her father's lifesaving money.Some kind-hearted person saw that she was crying and came over to ask what had happened. They found out that her bag had been taken and they helped her inform the train attendant.After the conductor asked her some information, he took her off the train and asked her to contact her family or friends to pick her up at the train station.But she didn't have any friends in this strange little town. Other than her brother, who was far away in America, she onl
"Your information that Oliver gave me included your phone number, so I memorized it." Elizabeth replied softly.Ronald understood. It seemed that she really had no choice but to ask him for help."Mr. Marquez, thank you for coming to pick me up so late. Thank you..." In order to express the gratitude in her heart, Elizabeth spoke once again."Alright. Close your eyes and rest." He had driven hundreds of kilometers to this remote town in the middle of the night, and he did not do it for her gratitude."I'm not tired. Let me talk to you for a while. People driving at night tend to doze off." Elizabeth said with good intention.But unfortunately, her good intention was not appreciated, instead the other party disliked it."You are too noisy." Ronald said and turned on the car stereo, a soothing cello concerto sounding.Elizabeth was very tactful, so she obediently shut up and closed her eyes to rest.After taking a nap, when she opened her eyes again, the car had already arrived at Locha
At this time, Elizabeth had already gotten her soup bowl, and was about to retract her hand. But when she suddenly heard someone speaking behind her, she was shocked, and immediately fell off her chair in a caught off guard, directly smashing into Ronald's body. The bowl that she painstakingly took down from the cabinet fell onto the ground, shattering, and they fell heavily on the ground.Elizabeth laid directly on Ronald, and her face was even pressed against his neck.Everything happened so suddenly that Elizabeth, who had been knocked dizzily, failed to react. She could only raise her head in a daze, looking at the man beneath her with her clear, watery eyes.The man was also looking at her. His black eyes were as bright as the stars, emitting a bright light. He was so dazzling that one couldn't resist the temptation to look at him."It's very comfortable lying on the ground like this?" He said in a deep voice, breaking the deadlock between them. His beautiful thick eyebrows knitt
"Mr. Marquez, what did you say?" Ainsley thought she heard wrongly, and instantly opened her eyes wide, revealing a look of disbelief.Girlfriend? How did Elizabeth become his girlfriend?Jayden turned his eyes. Although he still had a calm expression, his eyes were sharp, "Your way of treating guests has truly broadened my horizons. It seems like I have come to a wrong place."With that, he pulled Elizabeth's hand and was about to leave.At this time, a middle-aged man walked in from the door. With an obsequious smile on his face, he apologized, "Well, it's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. Mr. Marquez, please don't be angry. My daughter is young and does not know what to say.""Misunderstanding? I'm afraid not." Jayden raised his eyebrows and laughed coldly."It's a misunderstanding. Ainsley, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Marquez." Terry said, pulling his daughter along, and scolded her in a low voice."No need. If you want to apologi
Opening her mouth, she wanted to call for help. But the tall one had already rushed forward, covering her mouth. He raised his hand, slapped the back of her neck, and caused her to faint.Elizabeth lost consciousness. The tall one immediately carried her and walked into the villa.The short one followed, and when someone looked over, he only laughed and explained, "She is drunk...drunk..."They directly brought Elizabeth to a room on the first floor of the villa and threw her onto the bed.The temporarily unconscious Elizabeth woke up. Before she could react to what was happening, she saw them standing by the side of the bed, smiling vulgarly at her."What are you guys doing?" She remembered that she had met them a few minutes ago and they had knocked her out."Didn't you already agree? We'll give you money, and you can stay with us for one night." As he spoke, the tall man began to take off his clothes.Elizabeth was so scared that she curled up and shrank back, "Don't touch me. I'm
"Make things difficult for you? Jonah, how could you say that? How have I treated you in Dyer family these years? Now that I'm in trouble, not only did you not help me, you even added insult to injury. You ungrateful ingrate!" The sharp voice cursed.Elizabeth heard this voice. She seemed to have heard this voice before, but she did not dare believe it.After not seeing her for a few years, why had her gentle mother become a shrew?She walked up the stairs and immediately saw that in front of the door to the second floor's room, there was a man with two middle-aged women blocking the door. The beautifully dressed mother, Casey, was stopped in front of the door and could not come out.She looked fine and was full of energy. Sure enough, did Ainsley lie to her?As Casey was cursing the three people who were blocking her path. She inadvertently glanced at the direction of the stairs. In the distance, she saw Elizabeth who was standing blankly in place, and her voice slowly grew softer.M
In the afternoon, Alondra invited Elizabeth out for a coffee. Elizabeth told her about Ainsley inviting her to participate in the engagement ceremony.When Alondra heard the news, she immediately said. "Don't go. Don't go! She must be planning something." "But I want to see my mother." Elizabeth said.Hearing this, Alondra let out a heavy sigh, "This Ainsley is a bitch. She knew that you would definitely not go if she invites you directly, so she just took your mother as a gimmick. If she was my mom who abandoned me, I wouldn't even want to go see her.""She has cancer. I don't know how long she'll live." This was also the reason why she was so eager to see her."Nah, how could Ainsley's words be trusted? She must be lying to you." Alondra said without even thinking."What if it's true?""Alright." Alondra did not say anything. She only used a straw to stir the drink in front of her, and looked towards the two tallest buildings constructed side by side in the center of the city outsid
Although Elizabeth had never owned these luxury goods before, at least she had worked at a five-star hotel before, and had seen many celebrities, she can recognize these good things.Dulce was still looking at the pile of gifts with her eyes glowing. Elizabeth had already recovered from the shock. She picked up her phone and dialed Ronald's number.The phone rang for a long time before someone answered, but the one who spoke was not Ronald."Elizabeth, how is it? Did you get the gifts? Isn't it a surprise? "Oliver's excited voice came out from the phone."Um, where is Ronald?" Elizabeth asked."CEO is seeing an important guest right now, so he doesn't have time to answer the phone right now." Oliver said."Then do you know why he suddenly gave me so many precious gifts?""Didn't you want to go to your friend's engagement ceremony? So, CEO specifically told me to prepare these things for you.""..." How did he know she was going to the engagement ceremony?"Elizabeth, I'm a bit busy ri
At two in the afternoon, Elizabeth punctually appeared at the Gardner Garden Cafe that Ainsley mentioned.Looking around, there was no sign of her."Miss, how many of you?" The waiter came up to greet her."I'm not sure yet. It might be two people." She was not sure if Ainsley only asks her out, or if Brogan would come along with her."Alright, I'll first bring you to find a seat to sit at." The waiter said as he led her to a seat for four near the window.Elizabeth ordered a cup of coffee and then looked at the time. From the time they had agreed upon two o'clock, five minutes had already passed.When the coffee was served, she took two sips and saw Ainsley walking in elegantly from outside. She was dressed in a high-end dress, wore a pair of sunglasses, stepped on high heels, and swayed through the door.Behind her followed a woman in her thirties. The two of them, one in front and one behind, were like celebrities and assistants.The moment Ainsley entered, she saw Elizabeth, who w
Lifting her head, she saw Brogan's angry, handsome face."Excuse me." She lowered her head, not looking at his face, trying to walk past him."Why did you come back?" Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist. His voice was filled with anger as he asked.Elizabeth struggled a little, only to realize that she was unable to fight back with her own strength. So she said, "Please let go.""I'm asking you why you came back!" He pulled her toward him. His big, bright eyes glared at her with obvious fury, as if he might swallow her in the next second."What do you mean? Can't I come back? "She mustered her courage and looked up into his eyes.She didn't owe him anything, so why should she be afraid of him?"It seems that I still underestimated the degree of your shamelessness. However, a woman like you, who can even treat love as a business, would definitely not care about the gazes of others. "Brogan laughed coldly.His words were like a thorn, fiercely piercing into Elizabeth's heart.Strangely, she
Elizabeth raised her head and looked towards the origin of the voice. She noticed that the woman who said these words looked familiar, but she could not recall where she had seen her before."You don't recognize her, do you? She's Avery Graves. "Alondra whispered into her ear.Elizabeth heard and frowned, "Avery? I remember she didn't look like that.""Sure, she did a cosmetic surgery. Can't you tell?" Alondra said in a low voice."..." So it was like this. No wonder she could not recognize her.When Avery saw they whispering to each other, she could not help but become even angrier, "What are you two talking about? If you have something to say, say it out.""Nothing. It's just that you've changed so much that Elizabeth couldn't recognize you, so she just asked me." Alondra said snappily."Alondra, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I've changed so much? What do you want to say? "Avery thought that Alondra was hinting at her cosmetic surgery, and she got furious all of a sudde
"I'm afraid he doesn't have the time." Elizabeth was a little hesitant. After all, a busy person like Ronald must have a lot of things to do in the company. How could he possibly have time to go home and eat?Dulce advised from the side, "Even if Mr. Marquez does not have time to come back to eat, he should be very happy to be able to receive Miss's call.""Is that so?" Elizabeth thought for a while, then picked up her phone and called Ronald.The phone was picked up after ringing for a long time. Ronald's low voice came from the other side of the phone, "What is it?""Um... I wanted to ask if you are coming back for lunch. Dulce and I made your favorite fish..." Elizabeth carefully probed.The other side of the phone went silent. Elizabeth thought that her sudden phone call had disturbed him, so she hurriedly continued, "If you don't have time, then it's fine. We can eat by ourselves...""Half an hour." Ronald said."Huh?" Elizabeth was startled for a moment, and then immediately rep
