"Shut up! How dare you!" Terry stopped his daughter and turned to look at Casey, "Casey, we've been husband and wife for so many years. You can't possibly just stand by, right? How about helping me beg Elizabeth for mercy and have the Marquez family let us go this time? I promise that I will never mention the matter of divorce again, okay?"
"Terry, do you think I'm afraid that you'll divorce me now? My Elizabeth is currently the girlfriend of the second son of Marquez family. If she can marry into the Marquez family in the future, I will be Jayden's mother-in-law. Then I can get whatever what I want." Casey raised her head arrogantly.
Ainsley heard and laughed coldly, "Married Jayden? It was simply a dream. Look at the Marquez family. Would a girl who have no standing and no money be allowed to marry Jayden?"
These words made Casey feel weak. After being in the rich world for so long, she more or less understood the couple must have a similar family background.
"Sorry. I still have things to do. I'll be leaving first." She didn't even want to see him, let alone eat alone with him.She was totally disappointed.As she was about to leave, he pulled her and said, "I have something to say to you.""But I have nothing to say to you." After breaking free from his grasp, Elizabeth put on a cold face."Do you have to make things like this?" Brogan looked at her with eyes filled with resentment."What?" Elizabeth could not understand what he meant.What did she have to do to make things like this?From beginning to end, wasn't it him and Ainsley who had done the disgusting thing?They had deliberately tricked her into going to the engagement banquet, and found two vulgar men to try to rape her, and in the end, even talked ill of her. She did not pursue all these, and now he was questioning her instead.How ridiculous."What do you want me to do if you are willing to let go of Dye
Without saying a word, Elizabeth walked to him, raised her hand, and slapped him. With all her strength, Elizabeth slapped his face which was slightly flushed from drinking.Brogan was entirely caught off guard. Looking at Elizabeth, he was confused."Brogan, listen carefully. I have long paid the separation fee and interest your mother gave me back then. Yes, with the money I made at the club. I, Elizabeth, do not owe you anything. Please stay away from me in the future. I don't want to see you anymore." Elizabeth rubbed her numb palm, staring at him.With these words, she no longer looked at his face. Instead, she turned around and walked out of the room.When Brogan came back to his senses, she had already disappeared from the door.Elizabeth practically ran straight to the elevator entrance. She wanted to tell Ronald that she had given him a slap on the face.She was no longer an avoider.It was a pity that he was no longer at the
Only now did Elizabeth remember that there was a man beside her, and she immediately felt embarrassed."Thank you for bringing me to the hospital.""You're welcome." Jayden smiled as he glanced at her hand, "Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I didn't see you wearing a wedding ring, you...""I have a boyfriend." Elizabeth was afraid that he misunderstood and immediately explained.However, when she spoke, she felt a bit unsettled for some reason.Is Ronald her boyfriend?They did not seem to have discussed this issue."Looks like I have to prepare gifts for your wedding." Jayden smiled brilliantly. He paused for a bit, and then moved closer to her, "You will send me an invitation, right?"Until now, Elizabeth had never thought of marrying Ronald.Now that she heard Jayden's words, she couldn't help but start imagining in her mind.What would their wedding be like?Ronald was such a picky person. He must
"Is that so?""Mr. Marquez said that you should sleep first. There's no need to wait for him." Dulce said.Elizabeth couldn't sleep at all. She just went back, feeling tired.In the soft bed, she closed her eyes and tried to force herself to sleep.But all she could think of was the Ms. Pollard crying in Ronald's arms.The usually cold and indifferent Ronald also seemed to be especially different to her. He looked warm and his tone was gentle as he coaxed her.Was she really his sister?Why did he never mention it?Unknowingly, she began to let her imagination run wild again. The more she thought, the more confused she became. The more confused she became, the more she couldn't sleep.After tossing and turning for an entire night, she was finally tired by the time it was dawn. Only then did she slowly fall asleep.And during this period, Ronald had never come back.Early in the morning, Elizabeth woke up fr
But Elizabeth didn't want to hear it at all. She only shook her head, and her tears fell down, "Since he's already been betrothed, why did he come to me? And brought me here...""Mr. Marquez had never thought that Pollard family would actually fulfill this engagement, he...""If that's the case, then why didn't he come when he promised to come back tonight?" She didn't believe that he really didn't want to marry the Pollard family's Miss. If he really didn't want to, who could force him?"He was prepared to come, but Ms. Pollard suddenly felt unwell and he sent her to the hospital." Oliver anxiously tried to explain.After Elizabeth heard this, she let out a pitiful laugh, "So, he went to accompany her.""Elizabeth, you... don't think too much. Believe me, even if Mr. Marquez really marries Ms. Pollard, you are still the only mistress of this family. "Oliver did not want her to lose hope, so he spoke with a resolute and decisive tone."Is th
"Father, you mean I am not compassionate towards my son," Lyla sneered and said."Grandfather's meaning is that if mother wants to see me, you can always wake up early or go to bed late like him." Ronald said loudly with a cold face before Arturo."You...How dare you talk to me like this?" Lyla never thought that Ronald would actually say such a thing, and her face quickly fell.Ronald did not mind her rebuke at all. "Since mother is unwilling, then don't blame your son. After all, your son did not suddenly become like this today."He would never forget that when he was young, he would greet his mother in the morning and at night. But he was never allowed into her room. He would always kneel at the door for an hour before leaving while crying.Grandfather only said that he was atoning for his father's sins, but he didn't understand why he should atone for his father's sins. Could it be that he wanted his father to abandon his mother?Under L
A heartless person?Is Ronald counted?She didn't know how to define the relationship between her and Ronald.She wanted to say they were a couple, but he never seemed to have told anyone about her.But if they weren't a couple, what was the point of them sleeping in the same bed every night?Seeing Elizabeth keep her head low and did not say a word, Alondra thought that she had guessed correctly. "Alright, if you don't want to say it, I will not force you. Let's go home now. I'll cook noodles for you."Elizabeth gratefully looked at Alondra, and nodded. "Alondra, there are some things that I have yet to think about clearly. After I think it through, I will tell you.""Alright, no need to rush. Think about it slowly. In short, for the sake of the baby, you have to take care of yourself." Alondra said, holding her hand, and the two of them went home.Imperial Group.Office of the CEO.An entire day passed, but Rona
When Elizabeth saw the photo, she felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.Alondra did not notice her change and only explained, "Elizabeth, this is what I told you before-Our CEO's daughter and future son-in-law. Mr. Marquez is so cool! I only saw him once in the company. Only the side of his face and was already attractive. Ms. Pollard is really blessed to be able to marry such a perfect man. I would truly be envious..."Elizabeth stared at the photo blankly. She only felt her entire body turning cold, as though she was going to freeze.When leaving the villa, she had a small wish in her heart. She hoped that Ronald would look for her, but it was clear that she was wrong.Perhaps he had already wanted her to leave, but he didn't know how to start. So he hadn't said anything.Now that she had left to make room for Ms. Pollard, they hurriedly spread the news of the wedding."September 8th, huh? Isn't it only in half a month? The Marquez fam
"Elizabeth, Ronald seemed to be calling you just now." However, Shirley was standing closer to Ronald, so she could hear him clearly.Turning her head, Elizabeth revealed a natural smile and said, "He probably thinks that I'm still his butler. The moment he drank too much, he would ask me for some tea.""So that's how it is. Looks like Ronald really relies on you." But unfortunately, you are now married to Jayden. Otherwise, it would really be good for me to make you continue being my butler." Shirley said with a heartless expression."The sobering tea will be ready in 15 minutes. You can go downstairs now and have a look. If you're ready, bring it over. Give him some tea to drink." Otherwise, he'll have a headache when he gets up tomorrow morning." Elizabeth said as she turned to look at Jayden, saying, "Let's go."Jayden nodded at her and took her hand to leave.When Ronald woke up, it was already 3 in the morning.Shirley was beside him,
Because of her?Why did he call her?Hadn't it already been made clear between them?He wasn't the kind of person who couldn't bear to let her go. Moreover, if he really couldn't let her go; why would he choose to marry another woman?Why did he call her?The phone on the bedside continued to ring, but Elizabeth realized that she did not have the courage to answer it."Why aren't you answering the phone?" The door was pushed open, and Jayden walked in from outside. He saw Elizabeth standing by the bedside and staring at the cell phone that was ringing non-stop in a daze.Hearing the voice, Elizabeth immediately turned her head, somewhat panicking.Seeing her expression, Jayden walked over to her, looked at the caller ID, and picked up her phone."Don't ..." Elizabeth wanted to stop him, but he had already connected the call, "Hello?""Jayden, is that you? Where is Elizabeth?" The voice that came from the phone was
"Mother, Uncle Dyer. Nice to meet you." Jayden walked up a few steps and greeted Casey and Terry.Casey's eyes swept across her son-in-law and she nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Nice to meet you too."Elizabeth came back to reality and invited them into her house."This must be Mr. Marquez. Ah, he looks really young. I was wondering why Jayden was so handsome. It turns out his genes were good." Casey walked in, and when she saw Zion, she warmly went up to greet him.Terry followed beside her with a hypocritical smile."You're too kind; you are also young." Zion faked a smile and socialized with Casey, but his line of sight was always on Ainsley's body.At this time, Brianna also came out from the dining hall, smiling. "You are here. Please take a seat. Butler, make tea."The group sat down in the living room, and after a round of greetings, Brianna's gaze landed on Ainsley and Brogan. "You must be Elizabeth's sister and brother-in-l
"I'm not sure about the specifics either. Last night, Terry and Ainsley didn't go home. The moment I woke up this morning, I saw that little girl Ainsley running in from outside while crying. Her father was chasing after her, and when they entered her room, they had a huge argument."How is that possible? My father-in-law ..." Elizabeth could not imagine that her normally calm and dignified father-in-law would actually do something so outrageous."How is that impossible? I heard it with my own ears. Elizabeth, let me tell you that your father-in-law is not a good person. Stay away from him in the future, and, ah, I told you about this matter; you just hide it in your heart. Don't let your father-in-law know, understand?"Casey repeatedly warned from the other end of the phone, but Elizabeth's heart was churning intensely.Why did it have to be Ainsley?She was younger than her by two years; how could Zion do anything about it?"Hello ...?" E
Ainsley had a young, lively and pink face, wide almond-shaped eyes, a pouting mouth, and puffy cheeks. She looked very angry."This is the daughter of yours?" Zion asked, his eyes continuing to linger around her body."Yes, my little girl, Ainsley." Terry saw that he seemed to be slightly interested in Ainsley, and hurriedly introduced her to him, and then pulled Ainsley along, saying, "Ainsley, this is Mr. Marquez. Hurry up and greet Mr. Marquez.""Mr. Marquez? Which Mr. Marquez? In the Marquez family I only know of Eldest Mr. Marquez and Second Mr. Marquez. One of them is my sister's big brother in the future while the other one is my future brother-in-law. Ainsley looked up arrogantly. Most of her father's friends were entrepreneurs like him, and she had never placed them in her eyes.Hearing this, Terry was immediately drenched in sweat. "Ainsley, shut your mouth. This is the father of the Second Mr. Marquez.""Second Mr. Marquez's father?" Ain
When Alivia heard the order, she knew that Brianna was going to teach Elizabetha lesson tonight. Thus, she did not dare to say anything, and could only walk to Elizabeth's side and quietly ask, "Ma'am, please kneel."Elizabeth knew that she would not be able to escape punishment, but she did not feel wronged at all; on the contrary, she felt better.After all, ever since she was born, no one had ever stayed up late into the night to worry about her safety.Although Brianna said she wanted to punish herself, this was also because of her love, which was why Elizabeth was being held responsible.She knelt down obediently without a hint of reluctance on her face.She earnestly listened as Alivia began to explain the rules of the Marquez family.Brianna sat at the side for a while as she was really tired and didn't have the energy to keep a watch on her. Thus, she instructed the butler to wait for Jayden and when he was back, he should go u
It was him?!That's right. She should have long thought of it. Didn't the person who kidnapped her in the elevator room just want to bring her to meet him?Lifting her head, she stared straight at the man in front of her coldly, saying, "Ronald, what exactly do you want?""What do I want?" Ronald took a step forward, forcing her into a corner."We're done here already. I don't want to see you. Why did you get someone to tie me up?"Was he really unable to let her go?If that was really the case, then why did he abandon her and marry another woman?"What did you say?" Ronald looked at her red eyes and retracted his gaze, revealing a look of astonishment.He got someone to tie her up?"Isn't it?" Elizabeth clenched her teeth and glared at him."Of course ... not." No! Ronald pondered for a moment and understood what was going on.Letting go of her, he took a step back and ordered in a low voice, "You stay her
Hearing her addressing him, Elizabeth suddenly raised her head and looked into the elevator, meeting his cold eyes.What kind of ill fate could allow them to encounter like this?At that time, the first thought in Elizabeth's mind was-run!But before she could even take action, she was already dragged directly into the elevator by Alondra."Mr. Marquez, what a coincidence. You're here to eat too?" Seeing Ronald, Alondra smiled.One had to know that Ronald was Alondra's company's Boss's son-in-law. If she left a good impression on him, in the future, he would be kind enough to speak good about her in front of Ms. Pollard.Alondra thought so, but she did not notice that Elizabeth's face had become as pale as paper."Mr. Marquez, who are these two beauties?" A middle-aged man beside Ronald could not help but ask curiously as he glanced at Alondra and Elizabeth.Ronald's eyes were currently fixed on Elizabeth, and he ignored the mi
Turning around, he saw a handsome young man with an otherworldly temperament walking over from behind him.Father-in-law?If he called him that, could it be that he was Marquez family's second son, Jayden?While Pablo was still in doubt, Jayden had already walked up to him. With a humble and respectful smile on his jade-like face, he said, "Since Father-in-Law is here, why don't you sit for a while longer? Don't in a hurry to leave.""So, why should I sit down a little longer? Even my own daughter isn't fond of me. What's the point of staying?" Pablo was dissatisfied with Elizabeth, and at the moment, he could not help but send a message to Jayden.After Jayden heard these words, he laughed, "Father-in-law has misunderstood. Elizabeth is your daughter. Don't you know her personality? It's just a child's temper.""Child's temper? I think she's got a big temper now. You don't know what she just said to me. It was like she was using a knife to
