Even a country bumpkin could easily transfer 15 million in foreign currency. It would have been over a million if converted.Unless Samantha obtained her inheritance, she would never have such a huge sum of money at her disposal.She felt a painful sting upon recalling the more than 50 million dollars Holly had swindled from her months ago.…Once Holly and Cooper left, Samantha withdrew some money and handed it over to her driver to carry.She got into the car and gave Arthur a call, over-exaggerating the matter. "I saw Holly in the bank earlier, Uncle Arthur. She transferred over a million to some Aunt Merope or Abel. "That money must've been yours, right? How could she transfer your money to someone else?"Samantha expected Arthur to be furious and harshly scold Holly. She didn't expect him to leisurely reply, "Holly has made quite a bit of money. She could use her own money however she likes."Samantha was stunned. After a while, she muttered, "You're quite generous now, a
Abraham was smoking by the window. He heard all of Quirina and Samantha's conversation.He put out his cigarette and turned around. He then told Quirina, "Bryce will be going on a business trip to Haryndale tomorrow. He'll be meeting up with some material suppliers to sign contracts."Get some burner phones and handle it discreetly."Quirina's eyes lit up upon hearing that there was an opportunity. "How do we handle it?"Abraham stared at her for a moment. "Forget it. I'll just send my men for it. You both lack knowledge and are incompetent."Quirina was unhappy. "Don't look down on us. I could still break Bryce and Holly apart using my methods."Abraham chuckled and said, "With your amateurish tactics, not only didn't you manage to break them apart, but you even sent Samantha to Levi."His expression hardened. He saw a tall figure standing behind the foyer. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was Moses.The smile on Abraham's face froze. "When did you get back, Moses? Why
Bryce got up when they were done with dinner, with Jacob and Andy following suit. Max and the others walked them back to the hotel. Their hotel was right upstairs.With his keen observation skills, Tobin had figured out the reason Bryce had been eying Mariposa's wrist. After all, he had prior experience from buying countless dolls and toys on behalf of Bryce recently.Once Bryce went into his room, Tobin called Mariposa. "May I ask where you bought the bracelet you were wearing tonight? What brand was it from?"Mariposa replied, "I bought it from Gwenzel. It's a Cartier bracelet."Tobin replied, "Alright. Thank you."It was merely an innocent question, yet it made Mariposa start speculating once again. She assumed that Bryce had prompted Tobin to give her a hint.Coincidentally, Max brought a set of documents over to her. "Send these documents to Mr. Gabelman's room, Ms. Perez. Whether tomorrow's deal can be closed depends on you now."They were well aware of the unspoken rule
Max ended the call. Mariposa angrily stormed toward the elevator. She was met with Holly, who was in a white trench coat.Holly's pristine elegance contrasted sharply with Mariposa's overtly striking appearance.Women were jealous creatures by nature. Mariposa couldn't help but spare Holly a second glance.When she saw that Holly was headed toward Bryce's suite, Mariposa assumed she was the new woman Max had sent over. In a fit of jealousy, she turned around and followed behind.Holly rang the doorbell.Mariposa leaned against the wall with a lit cigarette between her fingers.She exhaled a ring of smoke before slowly saying, "Stop ringing the bell, girlie. Even a beauty like me couldn't capture Mr. Gabelman's attention, what more someone as reserved as you? You seemed so pure—are you new to this industry?"Holly eyed her glumly as she continued to ring the doorbell.Mariposa studied Holly's face. "Where did you get your nose job done? It's rather natural. Did you model your
Moses fell silent. He whispered, "I'll think about it. Thank you."Bryce smiled and replied, "You're welcome."After he ended the call, Holly asked curiously, "What illness did Moses have when he was younger? Why would it even affect his fertility?"Bryce casually tossed his phone onto the coffee table. He replied, "He had acute lymphoblastic leukemia."Holly's heart skipped a beat. "It was something as serious as leukemia?"Bryce said, "Yes. He was only three years old when he was diagnosed, and he needed a bone marrow transplant. There wasn't a suitable match in the marrow registry back then. It would take a long time for them to wait for a donor."Aunt Queenie couldn't wait that long, so she got pregnant with a second child and used the second child's cord blood to treat him. Fortunately, his sister's cord blood matched perfectly with Moses."He continued, "He stayed in the sterile room for over a month after the hematopoietic stem cell transplant. When he came out, everythin
Holly invited Nina and Moses over for a meal during the weekend.She had been wanting to set up the two of them ever since she heard Bryce talking about them.They really made a good match just by looking at their appearances. Moses was tall and handsome, whereas Nina was sweet and adorable.Even their personalities complement each other—Moses was steady and dependable, while Nina was lively and charming.Holly and Leitia went to the supermarket early in the morning just to prepare for the meal. They picked out the freshest meat, fish, and vegetables.When they got back, they busied themselves in the kitchen for most of the time. They ended up preparing a feast.…Nina was the most talkative during mealtime.The others were generally people of few words—with Bryce's personality being aloof, Holly's being reserved, and Moses' being calm. Nina was the only one making the atmosphere lively.Moses' lips curled up in a smile as he looked at Nina with a tender gaze. He was busy help
Moses drove Nina home after the dinner.Nina was a cheerful and carefree person. She carried a sense of innocence as she was the youngest in her family and was well protected by the Gabelmans from the harshness of society.She talked nonstop along the way, animatedly recounting interesting stories. Moses listened with a smile on his face, occasionally replying to her.This was their dynamic since they were young—one would talk while the other would listen, and one was lively while the other smiled along.…Soon, they arrived at the Gabelman residence. Moses got out of his car to walk Nina back.It was a cold night. Even the moon hid behind the clouds. There were few pedestrians on the road other than the occasional laughing children and people out for a stroll.Moses and Nina walked side by side together. After a while, he asked, "Why haven't you had a boyfriend yet?"Nina grinned wide with a glint in her eyes. "Mom told me that it's better to be careful and not settle for an
As soon as Nina got home, Sherry gave her a deliberate once-over. "Why is your face so red?"Nina rolled her eyes at her. She then turned and headed upstairs.Sherry followed her up, asking, "Are you seeing someone now?""I'm not!" Nina pushed her out.Sherry refused to leave. She smiled slyly and asked, "You're not going to admit it? I saw you hugging a man from the window earlier. That man was rather tall, but I couldn't see his face clearly. Who is he?"Nina's reaction turned intense upon getting caught red-handed. "That was an accident! You've got it all wrong! That's Moses!""So it was Moses." The smile on Sherry's face faded as her expression turned peculiar. "That child is pretty alright, but his father isn't on par, and his stepmother is a troublemaker. 'Samantha isn't an easy person either. You would be in hot water if you married him."Nina's face got redder. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who's going to marry him now?"Sherry raised her brows. "Date to marry
