Arthur tapped the ashes off his cigarette into an ashtray. He smiled. "I'll take that as a compliment."Sherry trembled in anger. "I was fucking blind. How could I have ever fallen for a man like you?"Arthur said indifferently, "It goes both ways. How could such a lovely little maiden turn into a woman of steel?"Sherry smiled coldly. "I can't believe you have the balls to say that about me. You had a son with your ex-girlfriend and lied about it. And then you cheated on me when I was pregnant. You son of a bitch!"Arthur rubbed his temples. "Without evidence, you're just making false accusations.""I've seen that woman, and her kid was already born! You're in the wrong. You have to come clean."Arthur shrugged. "Evidence. You need it.""You old fart! I'll give you your evidence!" Sherry snatched up her coffee mug and splashed its contents all over his face.The coffee was scalding hot.Arthur gasped in anger. "Have you gone mad? How dare you splash coffee onto my face?"He
The perfect sheet of glass was now lying scattered on the floor in a thousand pieces.The worker was stunned.He extended an arm toward Arthur. "You need to pay for that!"Arthur was in anger and pain. He pointed at his leather shoes from Indalia and roared, "You need to pay for my shoes!""You crashed into me. Hurry up and pay for it. My client is waiting for Pete to install the glass. Now I have to go cut another sheet."Arthur scoffed and walked toward his car. His leg was in extreme pain. He hobbled as he walked.His stern features were now twisted in agony.When the driver saw him, he immediately got out of the car and escorted him in.The worker ran up after him and pulled on Arthur's sleeve. "Pay for the glass! You're dressed all fancy. How could you be such an ass?"Arthur was raised in a rich and noble family. He was treated like a prince from a young age.Everyone was polite to him. No one dared to so much as raise their voice at him.And yet, this worker was being
Did Abraham think Levi and Bryce were garbage men?However, the Gabelmans and the Cotts had been allies for years. Arthur couldn't straight up refuse him. "Quick, get into the house. We'll talk there."He pressed the doorbell. The maid opened the door.They all went in, sitting in the living room. Then, the maid poured them cups of water.Abraham drank his water. "Samantha is at the lowest point in her life. You have to figure out a way to help her."Arthur said unhappily, "Why?""The doctor said that a great surprise would excite her. She might return to normal after that. We need to stimulate her with serotonin."Arthur was stunned. "How is that possible?"Abraham narrowed his eyes. "You can ask the doctor yourself."Arthur could see through Abraham's intentions. The talk about serotonin was made up. Abraham was here for Bryce.Before this all happened, Arthur would have been willing to let Bryce marry Samantha.But now that Samantha had done the deed with Levi, even Arthu
Arthur trembled in anger. "How dare you say such disrespectful things? Samantha is like a daughter to me!""You shouldn't be offering other people your leftovers. Why should I take her if you won't?"With that, Bryce turned to leave.His footsteps were firm and decisive.Samantha stared blankly after his handsome silhouette, watching as he left the house.Her eyes gradually filled with tears.Abraham's heart broke when he saw Samantha cry.He quickly wiped her tears off with a piece of tissue. "Don't cry. A heartless man like that isn't worth your attention."She cried even harder. Her tears were like a river. Abraham couldn't wipe them all away.He was upset and angry. He turned and glared at Arthur. "You watched her grow up. Now, both your sons have destroyed her. We'll never let this go unless you fix this!"Arthur's red face grew even redder."Now you're being irrational, Abraham. I feel bad for Samantha, but you can't force love."Arthur was in a terrible mood.He was
Staring at the familiar string of numbers, Holly hesitated.She thought of Arthur.However, Bryce kept calling her.The fifth time he called, she picked up.Bryce said in a low magnetic voice, "I heard you're looking for a house."Holly was bewildered. "How did you know?"Bryce said mysteriously, "I have a third eye.""Quit joking around."Bryce said seriously, "I have an empty house in Winds Residences. It's already been renovated to your liking. I meant to give it to you as a birthday present. But since you need it now, I'll give it to you early."Holly was taken aback. She considered it, then said, "We're already divorced. I can't take anything from you anymore."Her words couldn't convey the emotions stirring in her heart.Bryce said, "It's in your name. It was bought with your identification."Holly remembered that Bryce had asked for her ID during springtime last year, on the day he could stand again.She hadn't thought much about it, so she gave it to him.She wo
Bryce smiled in exasperation. "Money destroys relationships."Holly said honestly, "I don't want to owe you anything.""Ex-spouses are still considered family. I have the right to be good to you."Holly burst out laughing. "'Ex-spouses'? Come on. Husbands and wives are family. Once the marriage is over, everything's gone."Bryce said in a deep voice, "I only want to be good to you."For whatever reason, Holly's throat felt clogged up.They said nothing.The door was ajar.Suddenly, the sound of familiar footsteps could be heard. They were coming closer and closer.Holly opened the door.She saw a tall, muscular silhouette coming up from the stairs.He was in a dark suit. With a gentlemanly air around him, he was a familiar, handsome sight.It could only be Bryce.Holly was stunned. Though she was happy, her heart was also in pain.She looked at him with a mixture of emotion. "Why are you here?""I was meeting up with some clients nearby. I just happened to pass by." Bryc
This was common in the business industry.One of the companies would provide the space, and the other would provide the resources necessary to flip the area and use it to earn money for the shareholders.What Caleb and Bryce had signed that night was an agreement for both companies to work together.When Bryce arrived, Brandon was already there.With him were Caleb and Penelope Zeller.Penelope was Caleb's twin sister. She was only a few minutes older than him.They looked nothing alike. They carried themselves differently, too.Caleb gave off the air of a flirt. He had a witty tongue. Although he looked snobbish on the surface, he was actually a really friendly person. He could build rapport with anyone.On the other hand, Penelope was like a manager. She had short hair and dressed herself professionally. She rarely smiled and was cold and standoffish.After sitting down, they exchanged a few pleasantries.The food was soon served.Bryce took out the report he had prepared
As Holly chatted with Abelin, she felt a cold glare coming her way.She looked in the direction of the glare and caught sight of Bryce.She was taken aback. On instinct, she explained, "A TV station has invited Zorro Auctioneers to host an antique appraisal show, and he wants me to be on it. I think it's a good opportunity…"Then, she trailed off.They were already divorced. Why was she saying all these things?Bryce said nothing, merely standing there coldly, watching her.Although his face was relatively expressionless, Holly knew that he was angry.She scrunched her nose slightly, feeling uncomfortable.Before, she would go up to him to hug him and comfort him. Then, everything would pass.But now, they were divorced. Things were trickier now.There was a creak. Someone pushed open the door behind Bryce.A short-haired woman dressed in a professional suit walked out. She was holding a black purse.She exuded a regal presence. However, she was smiling lightly. She looked
