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
"Or could it be that you want to awe me more, since you have already owed so much? You think anyway, you cannot pay off the debts.""No, no, I didn't think of it that way. I asked you to lend me these 500,000 dollars for..." Elizabeth wanted to explain.However, Ronald did not give her the chance, "I don't care what your purpose of borrowing money is, I just want to know, can you repay this money?"Elizabeth finally understood that she was too naive. Why did she think that someone who had nothing to do with her would loan her such a large sum of money?Especially when he knew she didn't have the ability to pay him back.She misunderstood. She thought that if she could get him to help her pick her up at the train station, she could also get him to lend her some money.In fact, he had no obligation to do these things. It was kind of him to be willing to help her, but it was also understandable if he refused."You...Would you like to buy me?" she bowed her head, saying in a faint voice.
Elizabeth felt disgusted as she listened to Pablo's words.Especially after he said that his love for her was worthy, which made her feel that it was even more ridiculous.Since she could remember, her father was a busy gambler, who had never ever loved her and her brother.However, it was not the time to mind this. She restrained her emotions and turned to look at Ronald at the side. "Mr. Marquez, thank you for saving my father.""No need to thank me." A faint smile appeared on Ronald's face, and he said with a suggestive tone, "I did not do it for nothing."Hearing this, Elizabeth instantly thought of the trade between them, so she blushed immediately."Elizabeth, considering your relationship with Mr. Marquez, there is no need for you to show gratitude to him. After all, Mr. Marquez is not an outsider." Pablo, on the other hand, felt at ease, and did not forget to teach his daughter a lesson. Finally, he looked at Ronald, "What do you think, Mr. Marquez?"Elizabeth was in great emb
Hearing that, Elizabeth immediately stopped crying, and looked at him in disbelief. "What you said ... Is that true?""Of course. I don't mind if you use other methods to pay your debt." As he spoke, he stood up and walked over to her, stroking the long hair that had fallen over her shoulders. "For example, at night, in bed ..."Elizabeth went red as a beet, bowing her head. She rubbed her hands nervously, not knowing where to put them."Since you've changed your clothes, let's go." When Ronald saw her embarrassed look, for some reason, he suddenly lit up. He retrieved the big hand that he had placed on her shoulder, turned around, and walked towards the direction of the main entrance.Elizabeth looked up at him in a daze, "Where are we going?""To eat."Only now did Elizabeth remember that she had not eaten breakfast.Ronald brought her to a restaurant and ordered a lot of dessert. Elizabeth was no longer reserved. She ate three soup dumplings and two pan fried, and a small bowl of p
"Yes." Elizabeth nodded, "You are?""We are from the municipal government's investigation team. We have something to ask you." The middle-aged man said as he took out a photo from his briefcase and handed it to her. "Is this you?"Elizabeth looked at the photo. It was the picture of her playing cards that was published in the newspaper.Although she didn't understand the other party's intention, she still nodded, "Yes.""Alright. Then I'll have to trouble you to come with us. We have something that we need your cooperation in investigating." The other party said, and wanted to take her away, regardless of whether Elizabeth was willing or not.Seeing that, Elizabeth immediately turned to look at Blaze, hoping that he would help her.However, in the current situation, it seemed like Blaze was powerless to help. He could only look at her with an expression of sympathy, but didn't dare to say a single word.Lochapple.In Marquez's Mansion.After having lunch with Arturo, Ronald sent him u
She cried as she punched his chest, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault! Why did you bring me to Lunar Island? Why should I get involved in your mess? Do you know how scared I was? I can't go to jail, for my brother is studying abroad and my father is like that. I still owe you so much money. What should I do?"Ronald did not dodge, he only extended his hand, and pulled her into his warm and wide embrace. He looked down at her red face, and allowed her to vent her anger.Elizabeth was tired, and then she cried sorrowfully leaning against his chest, as if she wanted to let out all the grievances and pain she had suffered during the past few days.His embrace was very comfortable, comforting others. When Elizabeth stopped crying, she suddenly realized that her actions were improper. In a hurry, she raised her head and struggled out of his embrace.He looked at him, instantly feeling his coldness, so that she trembled.What did she just do?She was so angry that she waving her fist
"Shh, please don't talk for now." She no longer cared about etiquette or who the other person was. She decided to shut him up first.Because of the difference in height, Elizabeth needed to cover his mouth on tiptoe when standing in front of him.It turned out to be a strenuous posture for her, thus her small face wrinkled nervously and she seemed to be in some pain.Ronald did not struggle, and allowed her small hands to press onto the warm thin lip. His black eyes became especially bright, sparkling as he stared fixedly at the little girl in front of him.His burning gaze did not escape Elizabeth's notice. When they made eye contact with each other, she was shocked to realize that her behavior had completely exceeded the line between them.Her palm could feel the heat from his lips, and instantly became scorching. She hastily retracted her hand and softly said, "Sorry, I ..."Before she could finish apologizing, the sound of someone knocking on the door came from outside, followed b
"Go and try it. This is a gift from Oliver." Ronald sat on the sofa and read the magazine in his hands without even raising his head."CEO asked me to give it to you." Oliver stood behind the sofa, covered his mouth with his hands and reported to Elizabeth in a low voice."Why? Why did you give me a present?" Elizabeth was a little confused.Ronald turned his head, looked at Oliver, and instructed him to explain.Seeing that, Oliver cleared his throat and said seriously, "Ms. Hubbard, our CEO is a person of high status. Since you are his butler, then you represent him. So you have the duty to make yourself look nobler."After Elizabeth heard this, she thought for a moment. Although she was working for Ronald now, in the end, she still belonged to the hotel."But I'm arranged by the hotel for Mr. Marquez, shouldn't I represent the hotel?"Why did she represent Ronald?She did not understand the logics."Ms. Hubbard, if you care too much, then you aren't cute." Oliver reminded her out o
"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
