Apart from not being able to sleep in the same room as her, Ben was practically flawless.In comparison, the man in front of her went dining, wining, whoring, and gambling. Whenever he lost money, he would beat her up. She must have been blind back then to marry him."Why did you come back?" she asked coldly.Like pliers, the man squeezed her chin with his hands and said viciously, "Are you avoiding me because I’ve been to jail, Marilyn?”Furious, the man pushed her onto the courtyard wall and pressed his body against hers roughly. "Tell me, are you in love with that wild man you picked up?"When Marilyn made no reply, the man rolled up her skirt in anger.Marilyn hissed. “Are you crazy? Do you know where this is? How dare you—”"I’m doing this with my woman, is there a problem?”When the unspeakable act ended, Marilyn slumped on his body.The man squeezed her fair and tender face with satisfaction. "Marilyn, you’ll be mine and mine alone. I don't care if you have feelings for
Resentment filled Marilyn's eyes. That b*stard did not even save her a single cent.How did he expect she and Ben to survive if they did not have any money?Even so, Jay remained calm and relaxed. In a mild tone, he said, "Next time, remember to report the lost card as soon as you realize it.”Marilyn nodded. "Mm."At this time, Tiger stroked his belly and began to cry out. “Mommy, I’m hungry.”Marilyn was ridden with guilt after losing the card. At the sound of her son’s cries, she patted his head irritably and said, “Bear with it.”It was only then did Jay realize that they had not eaten anything yet.He got up and walked to the kitchen, fighting back the nauseating feeling when he saw the oil and grease on the kitchen stove. He fixed a bowl of soup for them.Marilyn stared at Jay’s charming and dreamy back as he moved back and forth in the kitchen, her eyes filled with infatuation.Whether in appearance or character, this man was simply the best in the world.Since God had
When Jay came out of the shower, he found Marilyn sitting on his bed.Startled, Jay slowly furrowed his brows.Marilyn patted the empty bed and called out softly. "I get it now, darling. Since we’re husband and wife, I won’t complain about your illness when you’re sick. I’ll sleep next to you every day from now on, and maybe someday, you’ll get used to this physical intimacy and your illness will heal even without any medication.”When Jay’s gaze fell on Marilyn’s swarthy arms, his stomach started churning uncontrollably. He endured the pain with a frown and shuffled over.Marilyn embraced him tightly. She called out in a soft and mushy voice as if her entire body was being burned by a blazing fire."I feel so uncomfortable, darling," She seduced him in a mellow and sultry voice.Jay remained silent as he tried to endure the increasingly sickening feeling in his stomach.Eventually, he pulled her hands away without any mercy. "You know I can’t, Marilyn, so why are you doing th
Was it his fault that the bunch of bad apples in the company insisted on stirring up havoc?Zayne stepped forward and reported, "Your Highness, I found out about something that’s quite trivial.”Angeline waved at him. “Then don't say it."Did he think that she had all the time in the world to handle trivial matters?Zayne said cheerfully, “Okay!”Grayson glared at Zayne. "How can you call that trivial when it’s something to do with him?”Zayne shrugged. "Why are you blaming me when our queen doesn’t want to listen to it?”Realizing that Zayne was about to report something unusual, Angeline said, "Let's listen to it, Zayne."Zayne stepped out with his head hanging low as he reported weakly. "Our men received news that your man is currently looking for a job at the job market center."Angeline was so furious that she grabbed the file on her desk and hurled it at Zayne, huffing and puffing. "You call this a trivial matter? This is a matter of primary importance in Grand Asia."Z
As an experienced and steely president, Yumi had imposed strict requirements for the job applicants.After flipping through all the resumes that were submitted, there was a disappointed look on her face.Then, she swept her falcon-like gaze toward the group of job applicants, ignoring each and every one of those exhausted faces.Ultimately, her gaze fell on one graceful and dashing physique. Although he was no longer the young master who was radiating with brilliance, he had never failed to amaze anyone with his coolness and indifference. A great astonishment emerged in Yumi's eyes. Slowly yet surely, it evolved into a determined smile.Yumi was the Severe’s family’s daughter-in-law. Although she rarely returned to the Severe’s residence, she had learned a secret from Sera. Jay was back, and he had lost his memory too.In order to protect Jay, Angeline was rigorous in keeping his identity a secret.Yumi was not a good and virtuous person. Besides, she was still brooding over Gr
Unexpectedly, after several years of girding up her loins, Angeline, who had been in a position of power and influence for so long, actually carried such a sharp edge."Trying to steal applicants from me, Ms. Severe? I’m sorry, but you’re one step late." Yumi laughed.She had never regarded Angeline as her sister-in-law.Although Yumi was Angeline's sister-in-law, she would never take on this obligation.Angeline blurted in a domineering manner, “It’s also possible to scrap a contract after it’s signed!"Yumi stared at Jay. "Make sure you take a look at the consequences of breaching the contract before you decide whether you want to breach it or not."Jay did not care about the consequences of breaching the contract, though what he did not like was how Angeline was behaving like a vanquisher."What are you trying to do?" he questioned her furiously.When Angeline turned to look at him, the frost on her face dissipated completely. She said with a smile, "Her tiny company doesn’t
Jay turned back, gritted his teeth, and growled. "What do you want?"Angeline replied, "Come to Grand Asia. Pick whatever position you want, list out the annual salary you’d like, and get everything from branded cars to big houses."Jay's face darkened. "I don’t have that high of a net worth."Angeline stuck her tongue out. She seemed to have overshot the mark.This guy was still unaware of how valuable his capabilities actually were.Angeline pondered for a while before saying to Grayson, "Grayson, dismiss Zayne. From tomorrow onward, he’ll be my personal assistant."Grayson could not help but laugh. Was Ms. Severe trying to put him close to her in order to take advantage of him?Master Ares was clearly more suited for the Cyber Security Department.Jay darted her a speechless glance, looking extremely reluctant. "I’ll come to work tomorrow."Angeline nodded with a smile and ordered Grayson, "Send him home."Grayson was secretly delighted. "Okay," he responded in a very sono
Jay turned him down straight away. "It’s a hassle to move."Grayson, "..." Yeap, that was definitely his way of dealing with a situation."Daddy." Suddenly, a kiddy voice interrupted their conversation.Marilyn held Tiger’s hands and was just returning from the vegetable market. The vegetables in the basket looked very much wilted and even slightly yellowish.Grayson’s falcon-like pupils suddenly contracted. Did this woman actually pick vegetables like that to cook? To feed Tom, Dick, and Harry?Grayson's heart was clouded in a layer of obscurity for some reason.Marilyn had always been someone who would move at the sight of money, hence when she noticed Grayson driving a luxury car, she immediately wanted to curry favor with him."Who is this, darling?""A colleague," Jay replied.Marilyn let out an ingratiating smile. "If he’s your colleague, then invite him in to take a seat. It’s really impolite to make him stand out here."Jay looked reluctant.Even so, Grayson nodded
