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 didn't want to hear her confess her mistake, so before Casey finish, she interrupted her, "Don't talk about what happened that year. If you don't have anything else to say, I'll be leaving."With that, she got up and prepared to leave.Casey immediately stopped her, "Don't. I will not mention what happened back then. Stay here, please."At this moment, the waiter brought up the coffee.Elizabeth picked up the coffee and took a sip. She felt disgusted and frowned, putting the coffee on the table and didn't touch it."Coffee is not good? Would you like to change for something else?" Casey acutely noted the change in her expression and immediately asked."No, I don't want to drink anything."She looked blankly at her daughter.She thought back to the time when her children were just born. Many people around her envied her for her good fortune.But ever since her husband became addicted to gambling and began to ign
She didn't want to be the center of attention, so she reached out to help Casey up. "Stand up first, and then we'll talk."Casey immediately revealed a happy smile, "You agree?""Get up. Hurry and get up." Elizabeth lowered her head, not wanting others to see her face.Casey stood up and returned to her seat. "Elizabeth, mother knows that you are a kind-hearted child. Don't worry. This time you forgive Ainsley. In the future, I will be the big contributor to the Dyer family. They will not dare to think of kicking me out. I'll take care of that girl for you."Elizabeth didn't want to hear about the matter between her and the Dyer family, so she stood up and said, "I'll be leaving first.Without waiting for Casey to stand up, she quickly walked out of the coffee shop.On the main street, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, scorching the earth.Although the hottest summer was over, the early autumn sunshine was enough to make people
"What did you say?" Ronald frowned. He probably did not expect Elizabeth to say this.Marry her?He hadn't thought about it, but he knew that he liked her."Do you think I'm having a pipe dream?" Elizabeth smiled, "That's right. I also know that my identity is not worthy to marry you. However, Ronald, since you don't intend to marry me, why did you come to me? Or do you think that for a woman like me, as long as you spend money to maintain me, it would be enough?""I can't marry you." His voice was deep and assured.At least, not now.Elizabeth nodded. "I knew.""Why don't you stay by my side? Other than the identity of the Mrs. Marquez, I can give you everything." It was the only compromise he could make, and he was trying to keep her."But what I need is that identity." She looked at him with tears in her eyes."Elizabeth, enough!" His patience had run out and his tone had hardened."The one who should be enough
"Ms. Pollard is a pitiful person. Even though she is the only daughter of the Mr. Pollard, she can't inherit everything from him because she isn't a boy. In order to protect her father's fortune, Ms. Pollard has to get married. And the only person in this world that Mr. Pollard can trust is you, CEO. Moreover, there is still the marriage contract between the two of you. It's reasonable. Others cannot have any chance to criticize you.""When Mr. Pollard passes away, you will succeed in taking over the Pollard's group. And after Ms. Pollard starts to manage the group, the marriage will be annulled."Ronald listened to Oliver's laments silently as he looked at the kitchen.Three years, Elizabeth. Can you wait?Although Elizabeth had become his housekeeper, she did not plan to live in this villa anymore.In the evening, she prepared dinner. When Ronald and Oliver entered the dining hall, she was prepared to leave.Ronald sat down and took a look
Elizabeth was in her early stages of pregnancy, so she did not have much of an appetite.However, she also knew that the more she vomited, the more she had to eat. Otherwise, how could her baby grow up without any nutrition at all? So she kept eating.After a while, the ladies seemed to have gotten a little drunk. Elizabeth was also full, so she reminded Alondra, "Alondra, I'm full. Don't drink so much.""Don't worry. I'm fine. I won't get drunk." Alondra waved, then suddenly looked towards the door and exclaimed, "Ms. Pollard?"As she shouted, everyone on the table also looked towards the door. Shirley walked in from the outside with a sweet and charming smile. "I was eating upstairs, and heard that you were gathering here. So I came over to take a look. Have I disturbed you?"The manager was the first to react. He immediately stood up. "Ms. Pollard, it is our honor for you to visit us. Please take a seat."Shirley waved. "No, thank you. I'
"What? You seem to care about me?" Ronald's face didn't have much expression, and his tone was also light.Hearing him say this, Shirley retracted the smile on her face and said somewhat guiltily, "Of course. If that Ms. Hubbard is really your lover, then the person you ought to marry is her. I cannot let you sacrifice your feelings for no reason in order to help me."As she spoke, she was filled with joy again. "Fortunately, she's just your housekeeper.""Silly girl." Ronald smiled bitterly."Promise me, if you ever have someone you like in the future, you must tell me. At that time, we will go and get a divorce." Shirley said as she looked at him sincerely.Ronald concentrated on driving, not replying to her."Of course, if I meet a guy I like, I'll also tell you. When the time comes, you can't let me fall in love with others!" Shirley calculated in her heart."Alright." Ronald finally answered.Alondra was still completely d
Ronald raised his head and glanced at the black corridor in front of him.This type of old apartment was cheap and didn't have an elevator. They had to walk."Lead the way." Ronald said coldly.Elizabeth felt that she was a little out of breath climbing up, but on the other hand, she saw Ronald carrying a heavy load on his back did not change his expression at all.He was so healthy that it made people jealous and envious!Elizabeth thought angrily as she took out her key to open the door.Ronald wanted to help Alondra into the house, but Elizabeth stopped him. "Mr. Marquez, thank you. We can't serve Mr. Marquez anything. Good bye."After saying that, Elizabeth without even looking at Ronald's face, directly dragged Alondra into the house, and slammed the door shut.Destroy the bridge after crossing the river?This heartless little woman. Ronald smiled helplessly.Looking around, he frowned.Such a poor env
"..." She wanted nothing to do with him except work."It's an employee benefit."The meaning behind his words was that this wasn't a special favor.Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, he raised his eyebrows and he asked, "Or do you want to stay here?"Live here?No!Elizabeth instantly frowned, and tightened her grip on the key. "No, the apartment is fine."If she were to really live here, facing him day and night, it would instead be weird if she didn't go insane."Very well. The address is on the envelope. You have a day off today. Pack up your apartment and move your things in. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, I hope, breakfast will be ready by the time I go downstairs." After Ronald finished speaking, without even looking at her, he turned and went upstairs.Elizabeth looked at the address on the envelope, then looked at the key in her hand, and sighed in her heart.Not surprisingly, there was no wa
In the past few days, he had already endured as he watched her walk around in front of his eyes, constantly making a fuss.If she wasn't dealt with today, she really didn't know who was the leader between them!Seeing that he was not willing to stop, in a moment of desperation, Elizabeth lowered her head and directly buried her head into his robust shoulder, opened her mouth, and fiercely bit it."Hiss ..." Elizabeth had made up her mind, which was why her bite was so painful. Feeling the pain, Ronald raised his head, and his pair of black eyes instantly turned scarlet.Elizabeth tasted a bit of blood in her mouth. Realizing that her actions were too ruthless, she nervously looked up, her lips still stained with his blood. His white shirt was also dyed red by blood, forming an arc."I told you to stop. You forced me, I ..." She forced herself to look into his ice-cold, frightening eyes. Her tone clearly showed that she was somewhat guilty.H
With this kind of conditions, there was simply no treaty in this world that was more unequal than this one. But judging from Jayden's expression, he was clearly looking forward to seeing her nod and agree."Actually... It's easy for you to find a woman like me to marry." After all, in this society, there are so many single mothers. With Jayden's abilities, he could find whoever he wanted."I know, but I have met you." Jayden said and laughed.Something could sometimes be so wonderful."Thank you for your kind intentions, I ..." She could not accept that his kindness was worth his effort to find a better girl who truly belonged to him.Before she could say anything, he was interrupted, "Don't be in such a hurry to answer me. You can consider my suggestion."After starting the car again, they didn't say anything else as he drove her to the apartment building in silence. After parting ways, they both went home.That night, Elizabeth slep
"I have a heart attack, but don't worry, just take the medicine. Can you get it for me? I can't hold the steering wheel with one hand." When Jayden said this, the car started to slow down.Elizabeth did not dare to delay, and immediately reached into his casual suit. She fumbled around for a while, only feeling a warm sensation on her hand, warm and comfortable.Her hand moved slightly downwards, and as expected, she found the inner pocket. Reaching in, she found the small bottle and took it out."It's one, right?" she asked according to her memory."Yes." Jayden had already parked the car by the side of the road and picked up the cup of water that was placed on the control panel. Elizabeth handed a pill to him and watched him take it.After he took the pill and rested for a while, Elizabeth asked carefully, "Your heart isn't well, is it?""It's congenital, unable to treat." A bitter smile appeared on Jayden's face for a moment. "I didn't sc
The three of them walked out of the restaurant and found a hot pot restaurant nearby.Upon entering, a strong spicy fragrance assaulted her nose, stimulating her taste buds.Alondra swallowed her saliva, and said with deep emotion, "As expected, I am only suitable for eating hotpot, I cannot digest advanced food.""Don't worry, next time I'll treat you to a Western restaurant, I'll definitely let you have a high-class meal." Elizabeth said."Miss Oconnell likes western cuisine?" Jayden asked while listening to their conversation."Hum ... It's not bad, but I've never eaten anything of a particularly high quality, so I wanted to try it. "Alondra scratched her head in embarrassment.After Jayden heard that, he smiled and said, "The restaurant you guys went to today also has a normal taste. If you want to eat higher grade dishes, I'll bring you two next time.""Really? Then it's a deal." Alondra immediately said, as if she was afraid tha
After Alondra and Ainsley exchanged their information, they confirmed that the father of the child in Elizabeth's womb was Ronald's instead of Jayden'.Elizabeth could not deny it, but she could not admit it either. She only looked up at Ainsley, and said coldly, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you.""How could it be okay, you ..." Ainsley had thought that she was just playing around with Jayden. How could someone as rich and powerful as the Marquez family let a wild girl who had no status and did not come from a wealthy family enter their family?But now that Elizabeth was pregnant, the situation was completely different.Previously, her father had instructed her to find a chance to restore her relationship with Elizabeth. In the future, it was possible that the Dyer family would need her help.Now it seemed that even if she was unwilling, she had to develop a good relationship with Elizabeth.After all, she was currently pre
When his tie was finally tied, he looked at her with a condescending gaze. "Have you learned it?"How could Elizabeth be focus? Hearing him ask that, she just stood there, not knowing how to reply."Didn't? Then let's do it again." He was patient now, and was about to untie his tie.How could Elizabeth want to go through another ordeal like that? She immediately nodded. "Yes. I learned it."Ronald looked at her insincere expression, and after a moment, he raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Ms. Hubbard is indeed very smart. I'll leave the matter of putting on my tie to you from now on.""..." What did that mean?Could it be that she would have to interact this way with him every morning in the future?Kill me!Ronald changed his clothes and went out to work, but Elizabeth sat on the balcony on the second floor, watching the video while painfully learning to wear ties.She knew that this was a problem that Ronald
Elizabeth had never ridden on the electric car in the villa area before. Today was her first time enjoying the services.In less than four to five minutes, she was sent to Ronald's villa.The room was silent. After entering the password, she went in. It was only half past seven.Half an hour was enough to prepare breakfast.Ronald had not woken up yet, so she went straight to the kitchen, opened the fridge and started to make breakfast using the ingredients inside.Previously, when Elizabeth had been his butler in the hotel, she had a better understanding of his appetite.So for breakfast, she made egg sandwich and freshly squeezed orange juice. She also made a small pot of crab meat porridge with several dishes of cold vegetables.In fact, she knew that Ronald was picky.However, she was not a professional chef after all. So she could only prepare a few dishes.At 8 o'clock sharp in the morning, Ronald came downstairs i
