Shelton shook the agreement in his hands and asked, "Do you want it?" "There's no need." Patrick refused directly. I knew why he refused. Because I could foresee Shelton's conditions later. "Is that so? That's too much of a pity." Shelton gave Roger a wink. Roger immediately brought over a small fish tank from the lounge. Shelton smiled, raised the portable hard drive high, and placed it above the tank, saying, "Since you don't want it, I'll throw it inside. Let me warn you in advance. It is the only one. And there's no backup for it." Hearing what he said, I suddenly became nervous in my heart, intending to move. However, with Patrick firmly wrapping around my shoulders with his fingers, I couldn't move at all. "Throw it at your free will." Patrick said calmly. But I couldn't be like him. Staring at Patrick, I said, "You are crazy. It's all your money inside." "Not too much. It can't be even on par with than
"What are you doing?" At this time, the bodyguards beside Patrick were pointing their guns at him! As soon as he moved, the bodyguards moved their guns as well. But no one dared to shoot him. "Put down the hard drive in your hands. I've told you long ago I don't want these things. I only want you." As Patrick spoke, he snatched the hard drive away from me, put it on the low table, and looked at me with strong affection in his eyes, "Don't be afraid. I've given up on you once. And I won't do so for a second time." However, several bodyguards were aiming their guns at Patrick. "Janetta." Shelton called me from behind. Hearing his words, I shivered. I wanted to stand by Patrick's side strongly. But I knew I couldn't. I knew that if I dared to follow Patrick, Shelton would dare to kill Patrick! I thought about it before. Instead of expecting to be with Patrick, I only hoped that he could live well in this world. Finally, I bent do
Roger was a little surprised. When I went with him, Roger asked me, "What did you say to Shelton? How come he is willing to let you come with me?" "I told him the truth." I had a little bit understanding of Shelton. He seemed to be someone without any sense of securities. So what Shelton wanted to know was the truth. If I wanted to stay safely by his side, I had to tell him everything. Instead of going to the round table where Roger had been, we went to the resting area in the corner. There were large sofas and snacks. We sat on two sofas separately. I asked him, "Tell me." "Seth's car incident indeed... has something to do with me." Upon saying so, Roger paused. Based on what he said, in my opinion, he had admitted that he was the one who had orchestrated Seth's car incident. "You! Why?" Even though Seth had been dead for so many years, I couldn't calm down at all after knowing that it was Roger who did it!
Hearing Roger's words, I recalled something in the past all of a sudden! There had been indeed a day like that! Patrick came home very late. At that time, I called him honey and proposed that we should get married. However, Patrick didn't agree back then. As I recalled now, Patrick was indeed abnormal that night. Later on, he let out a faint groan after taking a bath. He should have been in much pain back then. Could it be that he had been injured back then? The more I recalled, the more I was concerned about him. "At that time, the reason why Patrick sent me away was that he was afraid that I would be in danger, right?" If that was the case... However, I came to my senses quickly and looked at Roger suspiciously, "Why should I believe you? Why are you so kind as to tell me this?" "Am I kind?" Hearing this, Roger touched his chin with his hand and said, "Well, in that case, I am indeed kind-hearted." "Why did you tell me
Holding a hairdryer, I couldn't help but feel that my hands shaking a little. To make myself look less panicked, I looked away and continued to blow my hair. After a while, I felt that Shelton wrapped his arms around my waist. Sensing this, I trembled. Without moving, I sat there and continued to blow my hair. Shelton kissed my wet hair, my neck, and my shoulder. I, who probably was too nervous, forgot to move my hand holding the hairdryer. It wasn't until the hot wind burned my scalp that I realized it. I quickly turned off the hairdryer. Without the sound of the hairdryer, it was quiet in the whole room all of a sudden. Without the disruption of the hairdryer, Shelton got closer to me and tightened his arms around my waist with more force. Sitting there with a stiff back, I dared not move at all. A moment later, Shelton began to unbutton my casual clothes and kissed me more and more fervently. With my back to him, I c
I could understand what others said. However, instead of responding to them, I only smiled. The whole banquet lasted for more than three hours. Standing there in my high heels, I felt that my feet were in great pain. Even so, I put on a smile on my face. My face didn't even change at all. The banquet was over. Before the crowd dispersed, Shelton asked me, "Aren't you feeling comfortable while wearing high heels?" I shook my head, smiling formally, "Not that bad." Looking at me, Shelton frowned slightly, directly bent down without any deliberation, and picked me up in his arms, walking to the door! "What are you doing?" Feeling shocked, I didn't expect Shelton to hug me in his arms suddenly! He looked at me and said with distress in his eyes, "Sorry, I was too busy talking to others. So I ignored you, leaving you standing for so long." "It doesn't matter. Put me down. I can still walk." At this moment, other guests all looked o
Mr. Reid discussed his idea with us, and at the same time, he also discussed it with the boss of Gifted Design. We signed the agreement immediately and made an appointment to go to the holiday village tomorrow to have a look. Afterwards, we would check the blueprint of the building design, follow by the revision of landscape design and interior design. When talking about the schedule, I felt happy. Because of this tight schedule, I had the excuse to work overtime, so I didn't need to accompany Shelton. Although he was quite kind to me these days. However, the better he treated me, the more I cared about the hidden viciousness of him. I was terrified that I would enrage him one day. Therefore, it would be best for me to cut down the time with him. The next day, Mr. Reid did not come, but he sent Bache to drive me and Nancy to the holiday village. In the car, I pretended to ask Bache casually, "Mr. Bache, Mr. Reid and you said that I
Shelton put his hands on the steering wheel and looked ahead. Although his expression didn't change, he seemed to ignore what I said. I was a little nervous, and I didn't know if he had heard me. But even so, I didn't even have the courage to say it again. I clutched the edge of my clothes tightly. I didn't know when I became so timid in front of Shelton. Perhaps it was at the time when I saw so many guns from him. We were about to arrive at Glorious Days bay. When the car stopped, Shelton looked at me and unfastened the seat belt for me. He raised his hand and gently touched my cheek, saying with a smile, "Well, I won't pick you up during this period." "Ok." I wanted to say thank you, but I thought what had happened before, so I kept silent. That night, Shelton still held me in his arms when sleeping, but he did nothing else. ...... The next day, Nancy and I received the blueprints of holiday village buildings, and started to
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
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
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
"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?
