"Elizabeth, I didn't have the time to ask you some basics last night. Now that you're a member of our family, I have a duty to clarify some of your doubts. I wonder what kind of business your family does. Who is your father? You know that people like us are always under the watch of countless pairs of eyes. If a daughter-in-law of unknown origin were to suddenly appear, I wouldn't be able to answer any of their questions."
Brianna's words were not tactful, and it was so direct that it hurt Elizabeth's self-esteem.
However, Elizabeth knew in her heart that if this was the case, she would probably have to listen to it many more times, and it would be from different people.
After all, what Brianna said was right. A rich and powerful family like the Marquez family, with a daughter-in-law of unknown origin, would definitely cause others to watch at them closely.
Seeing that, Jayden was prepared to save her, but this time, Elizabeth stopped him and said, "Aunt,
"I don't want to be a nuisance." When Ronald said that, a trace of pain flashed past his eyes.Sir Marquez knew who he was talking about and let out a long sigh. He lowered his head and said, "Your mother ... Forget it, if you want to move, and then move. However, Shirley will have to visit her frequently. I heard from Deon that your mother really likes Shirley.""I know. I will tell Shirley." Ronald said, then he was about to say something about Jayden coming over when he saw Deon walking over from the front. Deon said, "Mr. Marquez, Jayden and the others are here.""What are they doing here?" Sir Marquez frowned when he heard that. A hint of unhappiness flashed across his face, as if he didn't want to be disturbed on this peaceful morning.By the time they returned to the hall, Shirley had already woken up.Lyla, accompanied by the servant Nola, also went downstairs and sat on the sofa in the hall."Good morning, Grandpa." Seeing Sir Marqu
Seeing her like that, Brianna became even angrier and said, "Can't you say something? You looked like a dummy. Look at Shirley. She really knew how to talk, making the old man extremely happy. I really don't know what Jayden sees in you."Elizabeth knew clearly in her heart that there was no place for her to speak at all.The most important reason why she wasn't liked by others was that she wasn't worthy!Hearing that Brianna was comparing her to Shirley, she suddenly thought of Ronald.Probably, after some comparison, Ronald finally chose Shirley.Perhaps, having a family background like that, she could only be secretly raised by others, and become a character that could never be exposed to the light of day.Elizabeth didn't say anything this time. When Brianna thought about the child in her womb, the woman couldn't bear to reprimand her any further. She only glanced at her and said, "Don't just stand there like an idiot. Serve me the tea."
Her small heart trembled. Just as she opened her mouth and was about to refuse, Maren's hands were already on her shoulders. Maren said, "Miss, it's going to hurt a little now."I ..." Elizabeth wanted to cry, but no tears came out. She knew that Ronald would not let her go so easily, so she closed her eyes and resigned herself to fate.Her expression, which showed that she was fearless, made Ronald, who had originally planned to punish her with all his might, lose interest. Looking at the back of her feet, which were blistering up, even though it wasn't on his body, he could feel the pain from her skin.He held her little foot with one big hand, the held the soft flat leather shoe with another, pushing it slightly forward from her heel.The two sides of her shoes rubbed against Elizabeth's scalded skin, causing her to gasp in pain.She'd thought that the pain would last for a long time, but she never expected that her shoes would be taken off so q
"Elizabeth didn't eat anything this morning, so she's already hungry. Let's go eat first."Only now did Brianna pay attention to her new daughter-in-law. Elizabeth's eyes were lowered, and she stood obediently by the side. Her scalds on her hands and feet were treated, but they still looked terrible.Perhaps it was because it was inconvenient for her to walk, so the doctor had also given her a walking stick.It was only the first day and Brianna had put Elizabeth to suffer so much, so Brianna didn't feel good. She asked gently, "Elizabeth, how are you feeling? Are you better?""Thank you for mother's concern. I am much better now. It doesn't hurt anymore." Elizabeth replied with a gentle face.Brianna nodded her head and said, "Let's go. The lunch is prepared. Let's go eat first. Don't get angry with those who are not worthy."Thus, the family went to the dining room to eat.It was probably because she ate too little breakfast and ove
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
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
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
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
"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
