The butler thought to himself, a household needs both a master and a mistress to truly come alive."Just tidy up this bit, there are still water stains."The flowers aren't fresh enough, go get another bouquet."Aurum sat on the sofa, observing it all, but his mind was elsewhere. Today, he had invited Ivy to his house. Shawn and Gale would also bring Joshua and Nicole over.It seemed like an ordinary gathering, but he had long made arrangements in his mind."Mr. Lefting, is there anything else that doesn't meet your satisfaction? Since Ms. Park hasn't arrived yet, we still have time to tidy up!" the butler asked.Aurum replied lightly, "Is it necessary to welcome Ivy with such grandeur?""She's your girlfriend, and who knows, she might be the future mistress of this household," the butler said emphatically.Aurum chuckled.Seeing his indifferent demeanor, the butler could not help but wonder. Did Mr. Lefting not like Ms. Park? But then, why were they together? Of course, the b
He casually took her bag and handed it to the butler, then led her to the sofa. The butler took the bag for safekeeping while gesturing for the other servants to quickly leave the living room, so as not to disturb Aurum and Ivy. Soon, there were only the two of them left in the living room. Ivy wore a sweet smile on her face, completely embodying the charm of a woman in love. To be honest, as long as she did not think about Aurum using her, this relationship was actually quite perfect. Aurum was a qualified and caring boyfriend. He was attentive and considerate, he would send good morning and good night messages, and he would solve any problem she had promptly."Uncle Aurum!" Suddenly, a child's voice came from outside the door. That was how Joshua was; you would be able to hear him before seeing him. He was very cheerful and quickly ran into the living room. "Wow." Joshua was the first to see Ivy and his eyes widened instantly, not blinking. "Hello, are you a fairy?" Iv
Shawn raised an eyebrow. "So, was I someone he didn't like?""You guys need to sort it out."Shawn snorted coldly."Is this Aunt Ivy?" Nicole also looked at Ivy. "You have such big and bright eyes, and such fair skin, you're really pretty."Ivy covered her face. "If you keep praising me like this, I'll get embarrassed.""Can fairies get embarrassed?" Joshua asked."Yes, they can. Hello, Joshua, nice to meet you. You're even cuter in person than in photos, a real little handsome boy," Ivy replied, reaching out to pat Joshua's head.Joshua straightened his back, striking a pose. "That's right, I'm very handsome, and very cool too.""Nicole is very beautiful too. A charming and beautiful little princess," Ivy praised Nicole again.Nicole asked, "Aunt Ivy, will I be as pretty as you when I grow up?"The fact that Ivy's appearance could receive such high praise from two children was enough to remind everyone how beautiful she was. In the entertainment industry, her beauty was unpa
In the dirty and messy backyard of Sea City mental hospital, Gale Warm stared at the meat and bones in front of the stray dog.She had not eaten for three days and would starve to death if that continued. In order to survive, she had to grab food from the dog's mouth!Ever since Shawn Wood threw her here two years ago, the only thing on her mind every single day was to survive.The Wood family is the wealthiest family in Sea City, and Shawn was the heir to the Wood family, which made him the most powerful man in Sea City.Gale still remembered how Shawn Wood strangled her neck desperately, staring fiercely at her, saying, "I want you to suffer for the rest of your life. You won't be able to beg for death. You will pay it all back what the Warm family owes me!"The more miserable she was, the more satisfied Shawn Wood was.Two years ago, Shawn's father had a car accident and was seriously injured. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment due to his critical condition.
What?!Shawn picked her up with his big hands and threw her in the car.Gale retreated into the corner in horror. "Who are you going to marry me to... No, let me go..."She was a person, a living person, not an object to be sent around.He squeezed her chin and said, "I can give you to anyone I want. You have no choice."Gale wanted to cry, but she was afraid of annoying him, so tears were held back.Looking at Gale's clear eyes, which are full of tears, he felt a moment of pity.No, how could he be soft-hearted to the enemy's daughter, it's ridiculous!Shawn regained his indifference and tugged at his tie irritably.She grabbed hold of his shirt cuffs with her white and tender hands."Please, don't..." Gale's tears fell on the back of his hand. "Anything but that. Please don't ruin me like this..."This was her first time begging him, and she had no idea if it would work.Her voice reminded her of the woman from last night.There were some similarities!But... how could
Boom!Shawn smashed the phone and furrowed his brows. "Go after her immediately! She can't have run far!"Temperley Hall was brightly lit that night, with vehicles and people coming in and out.Gale hid in the filthy sewers to escape the pursuit of Shawn's men.Taking advantage of the chaos, she ran down the mountain and went straight to the prison to see her father."Father...""Gale! You're still alive!" Peter was very excited and burst into tears. "I thought you...""Dad, I came here to ask you about the truth of Chairman Wood's death?""I don't know either, but I'm quite sure that the medicine I used was right! Gale, do you trust me?""I believe it." Gale bit her lower lip late and nodded.So, Peter was wronged.She never owed Shawn, let alone atonement!"We were framed, but the matter is a foregone conclusion and can't be changed..." Peter sighed and said, "Gale, you have to protect yourself."Gale held the microphone and looked firmly at Peter across from the glass.
Jenny rushed into the building.Her aunt, Paula, broke the news of Shawn's marriage to her!She wanted to come and see who the vixen was.She must scratch her face, violently rip off her hair, strip her clothes, and throw them on the street!Jenny walked fast in high heels and completely ignored the fact that the floor had been mopped recently. She slipped on the wet floor and almost fell.Jenny screamed, "Ah!! Which one of you blind b*tches wants to hurt me!"The employees of Wood Group knew Jenny was unruly and easily provoked, so they all fled away.Only Gale was still working without a second thought.Jenny looked around and quickly found her. "You, the one mopping the floor, come here!"Gale raised her head and asked, "Are you calling me?""Yes! Kneel down and dry the ground!"Gale frowned.She stood still, which made Jenny angrier. "Can't you understand me? If I fell just now, I would definitely not let you go!"Gale looked at her. "First of all, you have to speak hu
Realizing that she had said something wrong, Paula hurriedly covered her mouth. "It's nothing. Since you are part of the Wood family, you should know the rules. Look at how indecent you are!"Gale raised her hand to cover her body. "I'll change right now.""It's really embarrassing. I don't know what Shawn likes about you. Any girl in Sea City is better than you..." Fiona said contemptuously. Suddenly, a gray suit was draped over Gale's shoulders.It felt warm and smelled familiar."No matter what she does, it's not your place to lecture her." Shawn took her into his arms, "Aunt Fiona, you are too lenient."Gale wanted to avoid it subconsciously, worried that she would get wet and dirty him.Shawn insisted on hugging her firmly, which made her even more frightened. Shawn clearly was not thinking straight…It was her who wanted her to go through the rain. Does he have a fever causing his confusion?When Paula saw him, she quickly put on a smile. "Shawn, I'm just setting some rul
