Tracy immediately said, "Based on the current market situation, let alone two years, we can't even make it after ten years." "We surely can't afford to pay one million dollars monthly with ease within two years." The two of them said one after another. The standpoint of theirs was clear... They wouldn't pay anything. I felt a chill running down my spine. "How about this?" Tracy looked at Jeremy and said, "Transfer Mom to a hospital at the Second Best Level where the price of ICU won't be so high. Then we can hire her a guardian with higher pay." Haha, they indeed made a good plan. I would pay for the hospitalization fee. And they would pay for the care fees. The monthly pay of a caretaker was only two days' cost of the hospitalization expenses. But I had no choice. I didn't want Rosy to be stripped off the breathing machine so early. Jeremy agreed with Tracy's idea. The two of them immediately made a phone call and

After Jeremy slapped me, I felt that half of my face went dumb. I didn't feel strange about his change at all. I struggled to stand up straight, covered half of my face, and said, "Cameras are all over here. If you want to go to jail, go ahead." "Give me the money!" Jeremy scolded, "Let me tell you, if my company is finished, I will turn off your grandmother's breathing machine as well as drag you down so that we can die together!" At this time, I felt my cheeks were heated in pain, thinking that they probably were swollen. I knew that Jeremy hadn't cared about whether Rosy was alive or dead early. The reason why he let Rosy drag on was that he didn't want to be judged by others as someone failing to fulfill his filial piety. I put down my hands and looked at him fearlessly, "You've messed up the company by yourself. You're the one who's incapable. As for my grandmother's breathing machine, if you dare touch it, I won't let you off the hook!" When pe

Tracy seemed to feel that I was looking at her. And she also looked at me, "Why are you looking at me? The one inside is my mother!" "So why did you insist on turning off the breathing machine hurriedly before?" I exposed her without any hesitation. Tracy's face was a little unnatural. After struggling for a while, she let out a long sigh and said, "Now the Archer's Group indeed can't make it. Ever since my mother got sick, those shareholders have been so frightened that they are in a mess. If I have money, I surely will pay for my mother's hospitalization fees. Our company is going to collapse. Those employees have been following us for more than ten years. If the company collapses, they surely won't even be able to support their families!" I threw a sidelong glance at Tracy and said nothing. She looked at me as well. She seemed to be afraid that I wouldn't believe her. So she pulled her Hermes bag and said, "Do you see this? It's fake! I indeed sol

I, who wasn't reconciled, wanted to go inside, only to be blocked outside by the relatives of the Archer Family. Tracy's son warned, "If you continue to poke your nose into our business, I'm going to hit you!" "Forget it." When I wanted to break in, someone stopped me. I turned around and saw Shelton standing behind me unexpectedly. He, who was wearing a white coat, didn't look conspicuous in this hospital at all. I lowered my eyes and slowly walked to the stretcher on the side where Rosy was lying, holding her hand. This feeling was the same as what I had felt when I used to hold Seth's hand. Rosy had been dead. But her body didn't completely get cold. There was a little of warmth in her body. Rosy had been in a coma for a long time. She, who could only rely on the breathing machine and the nutrition needle to maintain her life, had been skinny early. It was the first time that I had touched Rosy so thoroughly and vividly ove

I thought about it carefully. Originally, I was going to work last night. So I went to the hospital with my laptop. Then I put it on a chair and forgot to bring it back with me. In the middle of the night, I was in a daze. But no one told me about the laptop when I went to the hospital in the middle of the night. Based on what had happened yesterday, could it be that they had forgotten about my laptop? I quickly said to Shelton who was driving, "Please take me to the Second Hospital." "What's wrong? Have you forgotten your laptop?" Shelton looked at me out of the corner of his eyes. I nodded. When he was driving, I asked him, "My grandmother passed away. Should I do something?" Yesterday, no one in Archer Family told me what I should do. But I felt that as Rosy's granddaughter, I should do something. "Her children should be in charge of her funeral. You're her granddaughter. You can just attend the memorial service after they inform

I turned around and looked at the ones who were talking. They were two young women who were strangers to me. Without any deliberation, I went straight over and said to them, "People cry and shout sadly in front of the living ones, which is just a show. Nothing is as good as being filial to the deceased when she was alive!" It seemed that the two women didn't expect that I would face them head-on. They were both stunned for a moment. And one of them said, "Being filial to the deceased when she was alive? Were you filial to her?" "That's right! I heard you got a house from Mrs. Rosy! And the shares!" "Yes, if someone gives me these things, I'm willing to do my filial duty as well." The two women said one after another. Everyone turned to look at us after we had a quarrel. Tracy walked in immediately and said to me with a gloomy look on her face, "Don't make noise here! Don't you know where you are now? It's your grandmother's memorial

The moment I took off Shelton's glasses, I suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little different. His face looked angular with a protruding nose bridge and thin lips. Because he was asleep, there wasn't any smile at the corner of his mouth. And he looked very indifferent. When I looked at him quietly, he suddenly opened his eyes! As soon as he looked at me, I felt chilling all over my body. It was unknown whether it was my illusion. As soon as Shelton woke up, he was full of rage, showing that strangers shouldn't approach him. I couldn't help but fall back. I put his hands on the ground and sat on my buttocks. "Crack!" There was a loud noise. I thought for a second before I realized what the sound meant. Shelton touched his face and frowned slightly as he asked, "Did you see my glasses?" I moved my butt a little and rummaged through the ground. I first touched a metal arm. And I picked it up, feeling that it was ve

When I saw Jeremy, I suddenly realized that it would be best if I could get information from him. I went over and greeted him. Then I asked him about Mabel. Jeremy hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Mabel violated the rule that nobody should use personal cell phones in the resort." I asked again, "Using her personal cell phone? Who did she get in touch with?" ...... But this time, Jeremy stopped talking. He shook his head and waved his hands at me, "I can't tell you anything about this." "Why?" I chased after Jeremy, only to see him looked embarrassed as he said, "Miss Archer, you have helped me before. And I am very grateful for that, which is the reason why I revealed Mabel's matter to you. As for other things, I indeed can't tell you anything more." "I see." Hearing his words, I knew what was going on. "Who else could it be?" I knew what had happened without any further guessing needed.

Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 517 Side Story—Happy Reunion
After the wedding, our honeymoon plan was postponed because Rosalie was too young and Patrick's legs had not yet fully recovered. I had been resting at home all along. Sometimes I would talk to Nancy about my work. It was March with spring blossoms when Rosalie was 100 days old. Early in the morning, Patrick went out as usual, and I saw him off at the door. He held my face, kissed my forehead gently, and said softly, "Pack your daily necessities this morning. We'll go to our new home this afternoon." "New home? Where is it? Why didn't you mention it before?" I was stunned. I hadn't heard anything about the new home from Patrick so far. He looked mysterious and tidied up the messy hair on my face. "You will know when we arrive in the afternoon." After that, without waiting for me to ask more questions, he glanced at his watch and hurried out. "A new home?" I thought about it carefully. After getting married to Patrick, I
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 516 The End(Part Two)
Patrick and I held a wedding when Rosalie was 100 days old. Although he wanted to hold a grand banquet, I refused to do so. Mostly, I was too old to care about the formalities anymore. But I understood that it was Patrick's heart for me, and I did not refuse to hold the wedding. We just needed to call some good friends and have a Simple banquet. Patrick couldn't convince me, so he naturally agreed. In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day. Shirley sent me the wedding dress. Because it was a mini wedding, only seven or eight tables were available. Most of the guests came from my studio and Towering High Company. Everyone was familiar with each other. In order to solve the marriage problem of the older single women in my studio, Nancy and I also made a special effort on the seating row. We specifically put single men and women of marriageable age at one table, expecting them to develop their relationship. Early

Listening to Shirley's words, I truly felt lucky for Shelton. Fortunately, he returned. Fortunately, he returned to Shirley's side. Back to the person who loved him. Michael Blake was hired as defense counsel in Shelton's case. I went to find Patrick and asked him about the case. He told me Shelton had locked Emily up for a while, but he soon let her go. But after that, Emily asked Shelton for money. Shelton gave her some. After Emily spent all the money, she was desperate and went to the police. She wanted to use this method to force Shelton to give her money. When I heard Patrick's words, I thought that Emily was too naïve. If this were true, then someone might help her. But it was she who exposed the video in the first place, and everyone knew that. She had made the choice. Now everything she said just made it worse. Emily had no money, so she could only find the assigned lawyer to file the lawsuit. In the first

She looked terrible, even her makeup was crying off. Only one night had passed, but she seemed to have aged a few years. She looked at us and asked, "How is father doing?" "The operation was successful." Patrick answered, but his expression looked bad. Dulcie heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Good." Then she turned around and was about to leave. Patrick said, "Aunt Dulcie, you don't have to blame yourself. It's just that Roger used you." "I blame myself for being stupid." Dulcie stood there, with her back to us and her head lowered. "I know it quite well in my heart. How could such a handsome, good and young man like him fall in love with me? But I still hold a trace of luck in my heart, thinking about what if it's true?" She didn't go on but left with her head down. I was a little worried. "Will your aunt be fine?" "Don't worry. She is a strong woman." After Patrick said that, he patted me on the shoulder. "You should go to

Patrick's words were like a sharp sword that pierced into Roger's heart. Roger stood there. Although he looked calm, he lost all his momentum. At this moment, the ambulance arrived. Although Dulcie was angry and hard to accept it, she could tell what was more important. She opened the door and let the doctor in. The doctor examined Ned first, and then quickly carried him into the ambulance. Because of the small space in the ambulance, only two people were allowed to accompany Ned. Sheridan and Melissa got in. Once they left, it was just me, Patrick, Dulcie, and Roger left in the room. "I'll ask the driver to drive the car over." Patrick took out his phone and called the driver. Then I supported him to go out. Dulcie and Roger stood there without saying a word. Patrick did not talk to them either. He went out with me and got in the car. We decided to order the servants to take care of Glenn first. We cal
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 512 Dulcie, Could It Be That You Think I Sincerely Love You?
Hearing his words, Sheridan looked gloomy on the side. Patrick held me in his arms, "You seem to care about the affairs of the Cowell Family so much. Each time we have some disputes, you will help us enthusiastically. Now you are making a move on my aunt, aren't you?" "No." After finishing his words, Roger imitated Patrick and held Dulcie in his arms, saying, "Dulcie and I love each other sincerely." ...... I looked gloomy. It wasn't that I didn't believe in December Romance. However, the age gap between them was so large. As Patrick's aunt, Dulcie was quite good-looking. It was just that she, who was old, had encountered too many unpleasant things in the past few years, making her meaner and harsher. As for Roger by her side... From all aspects, every woman lusted for him. He, who wasn't poor, surely could get whatever woman he wanted with ease. Indeed, in every way, there was no way that he would take a fancy to Dulcie. No w
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 511 Dulcie Arrived with a Kept Man
"All right." I nodded. I would marry Patrick soon. Because of the things taking place in the past, the Cowell Family didn't have a good impression of me. If I arrived there late because of getting changed this time, it wouldn't be worth it. Holding Patrick's hand, I went downstairs with him. Coming out early, we didn't see many cars on the road. When we arrived at the Cowell Family's mansion, it was exactly 6:30 p.m. By the time we went in, it had been quite lively inside the house. Sheridan, Melissa, and Ned were all surrounding Glenn. Glenn, a six-year-old child, was smart and flexible. Whatever others asked him, he would respond like an adult. Upon seeing us, the three of us looked at me. Ned straightened up first and said with a smile on his face, "You're here." "Yes. Hello, Grandpa Cowell." After greeting Ned, I said to Sheridan and Melissa, "Hello, Mr. Sheridan. Hello, Mrs. Melissa." Now, the relationsh

"I'll be gentler." Leaning and frowning, he seemed to be in great pain, "I'm in pain." ...... "I am telling you the truth..." Cupping my face with his hands, he looked as if he were waiting for me to show my mercy. Frowning, i didn't know what to do for a while. What's more, unlike Patrick's office where there was a lounge, my office was a small one with a sofa only. Moreover, the setup was later divided. It wasn't quite soundproof. Once, Nancy made a phone call to argue with a construction company in her office. I heard all that she had said clearly in my office... Thinking of this, I shook my head heavily. Seeing his distressed look, I tentatively asked, "Shall we go upstairs?" Upon finishing my words, I felt that my suggestion wasn't quite plausible. At this time, Patrick was on the verge of ejecting. His private part was bulging. On the way out, we would pass by the open office... Everyone would be watching us.

"Why did you... come here?" Standing up in a hurry, I helped Patrick into the office. While walking in, he closed the door handily. Looking up at the closed door, I knew that he should be here for what had happened just now. Even if he wouldn't take the initiative to come here, I would ask him about it. I helped Patrick seated on the sofa. Sitting up, he looked at me and said, "What do you want to know? Go ahead." Sure enough, he knew me. Sitting opposite him and looking at him, I thought for a moment before asking, "What happened? What did Kelsi do?" "Ever since she left last time, per my order, Louis had been keeping an eye on everything about her, including the ones she contacted. As expected, she dealt with the ones who smuggled guns and bribed a murderer, asking him to kill someone." Patrick didn't state who Kelsi had wanted to kill explicitly. Even so, I knew that it was me. I looked at Patrick, asking, "What did you do?
