Jay stared at Marilyn with a gloomy gaze and an intense hatred in his eyes.Afraid to meet his eagle and profound gaze, Marilyn held Tiger silently as tears streamed down her face.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.Marilyn glanced at Jay and got up to open the door.Standing outside the door was a courier wearing blue overalls and a baseball cap. There was an enormous rectangular package in front of him. He spoke in a gruff voice, "Here’s your package. Please put down your signature."Marilyn asked skeptically, "My package?"She had not bought anything online lately, though.The courier explained, saying, "It’s probably a refrigerator or some other appliances."Marilyn turned back to glance at Jay, thinking that it was probably an appliance he bought, hence she said to the courier, "Push it inside then."The courier pushed the package into the living room with his cart and glanced at Jay and Tiger standing across from him with his dark pupils."Do you need help to unpa
"You jinx! Since I met you, I was sent to prison and am now at risk of being killed. I have the worst luck ever."How I hope I’ll never see you again. Not even in my next life!"Marilyn remained silent in the face of Ken’s accusations.Both she and Ken owed and hated each other.Jay gazed at Ken with a dark and profound gaze, questioning, "Who did this to you?"Ken answered grumpily, "I can't say."He had received a threat from Grayson. If he said a word to Ben at all, then he would be skinned alive into a human stick.All color had completely drained from Marilyn’s face. Her soul had left her body from fright after seeing what happened to Ken.Tiger scurried over with his short legs. "Mommy.”Marilyn held Tiger and covered his eyes with her hand, begging Jay. "Send him away, Ben. Don’t let him frighten our son."Jay glanced at Marilyn with sinister and cold eyes. He felt conflicted by her words.Even so, he did not want an innocent child to be involved in their conflict, he
Jay walked away with a steely resolve.Marilyn slouched on the ground dejectedly, tears of sorrow streaming down her face. With a vast, hazy, and hopeless future ahead of her, she racked her brains to think of a way out.She remembered Ken’s words. ‘Do you know who Ben really is, Marilyn? You’ve picked up a treasure! Listen, he’s Jay Ares, the former president of Grand Asia with a net worth of trillions. You’d better clutch onto this gold bar tightly because when he returns to his position one day, you can just pluck off a single hair from his sheep wool and you and Tiger will be able to lead a life of pleasure.”Marilyn gritted her teeth. "I won't give up on you, Ben."Grand Asia’s office building.Angeline crossed her arms and stood in front of the french windows on the ninth floor, staring down at Grand Asia’s main entrance.She would raise her wrist to look at her watch from time to time. A quarter of an hour had passed since the working day started, but Jay had yet to show u
Angeline broke into a grin, reciting her love poem with a rising and falling intonation.“You’re the moon in the sky, and I, the ditch on the ground. I await your presence, oh, grace me with your presence.”… Jay raised his brows and sneered, "I'm sorry, but I have mysophobia. I don't think I will ever visit your stinky ditch. You should probably wait for someone else instead."Angeline, "..."She puffed up her cheeks with anger and glared at him bitterly. "Don't you know that it’s very disrespectful to interrupt others when they’re reciting a love poem?”Jay nodded. "Please continue."He switched on the computer and started playing Hacker Empire’s game.Angeline started yelling at the top of her lungs, "Ben, I love you to the depth and breadth and height..."Her voice was tremendously loud, penetrating every office in Grand Asia. At that moment, Grand Asia’s employees exploded.Jay jumped up almost immediately and covered her mouth. "Shut up."Angeline said in a muffled vo
Jay’s hands that were placed on the keyboard froze for a moment. A touch of affection surged in his eyes, and ultimately, it transformed into a warm smile that was plastered across his face.‘Holding each other’s hands and staying with each other till death do us apart?’ That was what he desired.He was so moved by Angeline’s confession that he actually had the urge to put everything aside and accept her confession.However, his strong willpower restrained his impulse.With amnesia, his life was incomplete. He did not know who he was before he lost his memory, but if he had a wife and children, how could he accept Angeline’s love so rashly?Seeing that Jay did not give her any response, Zayne said to Angeline with a look of disgust, "I told you, the things you learn from a book are only going to sound pleasant but they’re not necessarily useful."Angeline dropped her head in frustration and left.When she returned to the president's office, Mimi poked her head in with a suspicio
"Take the child outside, Mimi. I have something to say to Marilyn alone," Angeline said, her voice sounding as if it was covered with frost and ice. Mimi walked to Marilyn and reached out to take Tiger into her arms. She then walked outside, completely ignoring Tiger’s ear-piercing cries.When Marilyn realized that she had entered a lion’s den, she stared timidly at Angeline.Angeline stared at Zayne. "Go and coax the child."Zayne nodded. Still feeling worried, he reminded her again. "Calm down, okay? Calm down."When Angeline and Marilyn were the only ones left in the office, Angeline gestured at Marilyn, hooking her fingers toward her. "Come here."Marilyn approached her fearfully. "Ms. Severe, where are you taking Tiger to?"Angeline tried to scare her. "To the hospital. To perform a DNA paternity test for Ben and him."Marilyn was so shocked that she immediately staggered and bolted outside."That’s my child! You can't take him away."When Marilyn realized that the offi
Angeline’s furious face was gradually enveloped in sadness. "Do you know who I am, Marilyn?"Marilyn stared at her in surprise. "You’re Grand Asia’s president, aren’t you?"Angeline replied, "No, I’m Ben's wife!"Marilyn was struck dumb. All the defenses in her heart crumbled instantly. She shook her head vigorously, refusing to believe the truth. "That’s not true. That’s not true."She then glared at Angeline. "I know you like Ben and that’s why you’re lying to get him!"Angeline sneered, "Do you think I'm like you? Marilyn Auberge, I'll give you two options. Number one, surrender yourself for tricking Ben into marrying you and illegally imprisoning Ben for three years. That’s no minor crime at all."Marilyn paled with fright. "No, no, I didn't deceive him into marrying me. I saved him out of kindness. It was done purely out of kindness."Angeline played a phone recording and Marilyn’s voice rang out."I didn't trick him into marriage. He willingly stayed by my side to be my h
Zayne looked at his sister's panda eyes and bared his teeth, saying, "With this face of yours, he won’t fall in love with you even in your next life, let alone this life. If you remove your makeup, however, I guarantee you that he won’t be able to shift his feet at all when he sees you.""Really?" Angeline asked, feeling pleased."Mm." Zayne nodded.Cyber Security Department.Grayson distributed the documents stacked in front of Jay to other employees. Soon, the documents were done processing and Jay walked to the president's office on the ninth floor with the documents in his arms.When he came to the elevator, he caught sight of Marilyn holding the child. They both whizzed past his eyes through the transparent glass door.A trace of confusion flashed across Jay's eyes.What was Marilyn doing in Grand Asia?When he came to the president's office and tossed the documents to Angeline, his deep and profound gaze fell on the beautiful smile plastered across Angeline's face."Th
