"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
Inside the luxurious presidential suite, clothes were scattered all over the floor.The night was eerily quiet; only the sound of running water in the bathroom could be heard.Elizabeth Hubbard quietly lay on the bed, her clear black eyes fixed on the bathroom door. Her fists clenched beneath the quilt, creasing the bed sheets.With a creak, the bathroom door opened and a well-built man stepped out, the scent of shower gel lingering in the air.Ronald Marquez didn't even spare a glance at Elizabeth. Instead, he bent over to pick up the clothes on the floor. Then, he walked to the mirror and slowly put them on one by one."Sir..." Elizabeth called softly, her gaze fixed on his broad, muscular back."Um-hum," the man replied without turning, his voice indifferent."Th-this will be the last time. I'm able to cover my brother's medical expenses now," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, timidity written all over her face.Upon hearing that, Ronald paused for a moment, mid-motio
Upon hearing that, grim-faced Blaze instantly stood up and ordered, "Oh, dear! Hurry up and come with me to welcome our distinguished guest! Now!"Within moments, all the management staff in the meeting room stood up and followed the general manager out of the office, heading towards the elevator to go downstairs.Elizabeth was at the back, and as soon as she entered the elevator, the overloaded alarm went off.In his rush, Blaze waved at her. "Ms. Hubbard, take the next one."Elizabeth nodded and stepped out of the elevator.She waited for another three or four minutes before entering the next elevator. As she stepped into it, her cell phone rang from her pocket.It was Dalia Bender, a waiter from the housekeeping department, sending a picture that was clearly taken secretly.Dalia: "Our Mr. Mysterious is super gorgeous. Ms. Hubbard, hurry up and come down!"Elizabeth chuckled. She then casually zoomed in on the picture. With a single glance, she felt all the blood in her body congea
The moment Elizabeth met his gaze, a cold sweat broke out across her skin as if her heart had stopped beating.It was him. It was really him, the man who saved her brother's life two years ago, and also the man to who she lost her virginity."So she's the housekeeper you referred to?" He said in a low yet extremely magnetic voice.His gaze had already moved away from Elizabeth, and the expression on his face seemed to not have changed in the slightest.'Maybe he didn't recognize me at all?' Elizabeth hoped so.Blaze immediately turned to look at the elevator and saw Elizabeth standing there in a daze. He immediately made the introduction."Mr. Marquez, this is the manager of the housekeeping department, Elizabeth.""Ms. Hubbard, this is our distinguished guest, Mr. Marquez, who comes from the distant Lochapple. It's our great honor to have Mr. Marquez here." Even when Blaze was introducing him to Elizabeth, he did not forget to flatter Ronald.Speaking of Lochapple, he seemed to have
The main hall of the presidential suite was covered with a thick cashmere carpet imported from New Zealand. Handmade with care, it felt soft and plush underfoot as if one was stepping on clouds.However, given the circumstances, even if Elizabeth really stepped on the clouds, she wouldn't have enjoyed it.Ronald walked to the side of the sofa and sat down. Elizabeth followed beside him and wanted to speak, but she did not know what to say.She wasn't even sure if Ronald had recognized her or not.If he hadn't remembered her from the start, then her current awkward silence would only seem absurd."Um...Mr. Marquez, what would you like for dinner?' she asked, forcing a smile. 'We've prepared a menu for you, and I'll show it to you now."Although she did not wanna be his housekeeper, she had to carry out her duties now that the situation had already forced her into the position.She turned around and walked over to the bookshelf. Then she took down a menu they had prepared beforehand and
In the evening, Ronald and Oliver left the hotel for the banquet. When Elizabeth returned back to her office, she heard people whispering among themselves."Do you know? Mr. Marquez's background is incredible. He's the boss behind the biggest consortium in our country and the leader of the Imperial Group.""Really? No wonder Mr. Booth is so nervous. Many big shots had come here, but I had never seen him so cautious like this.""How can he not be cautious? No one before has such an identity. I really envy Ms. Hubbard. She can Mr. Marquez! Since Ms. Hubbard is so beautiful, could it be that she is lucky and Mr. Marquez gets his eye on her, and directly takes her back to be his wife?""Don't talk nonsense. If that housekeeping girl heard it, she would blame you. Her position as the housekeeper was taken away. You can't imagine how jealous she is now."They were whispering to each other, and neither of them noticed that there was a figure approaching them from the other side."You have no
Elizabeth looked at her phone, she was stunned for half a second before she quickly stood up and went downstairs.The Wildecastle Club was the highest-class private club in Swynwick. Although Elizabeth had never been here before, as a hotel employee, she knew its reputation.Money alone couldn't buy admission to such a high-end club. Those members were highly privileged.It was not strange for such a big shot like Ronald to appear in this place.'But why did he ask me to come here?' thought Elizabeth.Filled with doubts, she got out of the car and headed for the lobby.When she was at the door, she was stopped by security guards."Sorry, ma'am. This is a private club, so only VIP members can enter."After Elizabeth heard this, she realized that she was still wearing the uniform of the hotel. It would be difficult to enter if she just dressed like this.Just as she was thinking about how to deal with the two security guards, she saw Oliver walking out from inside.'I invited her over.
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.

Seeing Sir Marqu
"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,
"Yes, it should be almost done. If you're like this, first tell Mom what's going on with you?" Brianna urgently wanted to know the details regarding his son and that "daughter-in-law". Since she couldn't wait for Zion to arrive, she asked first."Mom, Elizabeth is a good woman. Although her family is not as good as ours, but I really like her, so I hope you can accept it." Jayden said."We don't accept it." Just as he said that, Zion walked out from the bathroom in his pajamas. His was gloomy and unhappy.Jayden turned his head to look at his father, only to see that his father's hair was still dripping with water, and he scold him without drying it."Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. When you saw Ronald getting married, so you got married. Did you think that just by bringing back your wife, your grandfather would be able to treat you like he treated Ronald?" Zion glared at his son angrily. One must know that his son's sudden appearance
Jayden seemed to have seen through her doubts, and pulled her over to the wardrobe and opened one of the cabinet doors, saying, "These are all your clothes, and since I don't know your exact size, I bought a few for you as the smallest, but I don't know if you like them or not. Wear them for now, and I'll take you out to buy what you like tomorrow."Elizabeth looked at the beautiful clothes that were hung inside, and her heart was filled with shock."When did you prepare these?""The afternoon you called me." Jayden laughed and patted her shoulder, saying, "Alright, quickly take a bath. There is a towel in the bathroom and it's clean. You can use it without worry."It seemed that he had taken every aspect into consideration for her. Elizabeth looked at him gratefully, picked up a set of pajamas and headed to the bathroom.The Marquez family Mansion.It was already late in the night when the guests had dispersed.Inside the bridal room
"You want to know? Then let me tell you. The child belongs to your brother, and it has nothing to do with you." She gritted her teeth as she glared at him.This was not the answer that Ronald wanted, but from her mouth, it was as if there were sharp thorns ruthlessly stabbing into his heart.After a long while, the big hand that was pinching her neck loosened and his clear and cold gaze shot straight into her eyes. He opened his mouth, and said with a slightly hoarse voice, he said, "Elizabeth, is this the method you used to take revenge on me for not marrying you?"Elizabeth took two deep breaths, and her red face finally returned to normal. Her lips were slightly pale, and while enduring the tears in her eyes, she sobbed, saying, "Take revenge on you? Ronald, you think too highly of yourself. To me, you are just a cash machine from the beginning to the end. The only reason I want to marry you is because you can give me money to satisfy my rich life."He
How could it be?Ronald, Jayden...They were actually two brothers?God, what was she doing?Both of them had the surname of Marquez. Why hadn't she thought that there might be some sort of relationship between them?Lowering her head, she wanted to escape from this absurd meeting, but her hand was grabbed by Jayden, and he said, "Elizabeth, let's go. I'll introduce my parents to you."Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she was all lost.After being forcefully brought by Jayden in front of a middle-aged couple and an elderly person, she heard him introduce, "Grandfather, Mom, Dad, let me introduce to you. This is Elizabeth, my wife."As soon as he finished, the surrounding crowd instantly burst into an uproar."What day is it today? The brothers get married at the same time?""Oh God, I was still thinking about the younger brother just now. Now, even he is belonged to someone.""..."After Ronald h
"Elizabeth, remember, this world has never been fair. Some people are blessed by God and have everything at birth, while others are poor in their lives and may not even be able to eat and drink full and be healthy." When Jayden said that, he unconsciously held onto his own chest.Yes, if the world was truly fair, why not gave him a healthy body?Elizabeth became silent. Seeing her lowered head, Jayden became gloomy, but he was not in a hurry to get her to promise him. He only spoke gently, "Rest well. I will not force you to make any decisions. Maybe you're right, and it's good to be a godfather."Elizabeth stayed in the hospital for a week, and during that time, he did not look for her again.When she was discharged from the hospital and returned to work at the villa, she found that while she was gone, a thin layer of dust had accumulated inside the house. It didn't seem like someone had lived here before.She went upstairs to her room. The bed wa
