I sat up and felt that my head ached. Touching my head, I found that blood had been oozing out of it! Standing on the side, Glenn saw that I fell down and immediately ran over, "Mom!" Hearing his voice, Jessica, who had been chasing the servant in excitement, suddenly stopped. Turning around to see Glenn, she stopped chasing the servant and walked toward Glenn step by step. Glenn ran to me and looked up to see Jessica coming to me. Spreading his arms, he said, "Don't come over. I won't let you hurt my mother!" As her eyes were full of infatuation, Jessica looked at Glenn. Seeing her like this, I was frightened. I was afraid that she would lose control of herself and harm Glenn. After all, she was strong. And I couldn't withstand her push just now. If she hit Glenn, Glenn surely would... I quickly held Glenn in my arms, looked up at Jessica, and said, "Aunt...Auntie Jessica, calm down, calm down! I am your daughter. And Glenn is your gran
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 384 Let's Split up
At that moment, I couldn't be more stunned! AsI wanted to reach out to pull her, I only managed to grasp the edge of her skirt. Soon, because of her weight, her skirt slipped from my hand! I saw her lying on the ground. And the one driving black Jeep had no intention of stopping the car. I turned around to have a look at it in a hurry, only to realize that the tablet of the Jeep had been covered. There wouldn't be such a coincidence in the world. If there was, it surely was conspiracy! Before I encountered this matter, many matters in the past had confirmed this point. I saw Kelsi lying there with her eyes closed. We were in a relatively remote place. And there was no one around. However, as soon as something happened, a few passers-by immediately gathered around her. I hesitated for a moment and called 911 in the end. After that, I was in a mess in my mind. Without deliberation, I directly called Patrick. Soon, 911 arri
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 385 From bad to worse
The number was from a stranger. I hesitated for a moment but still picked it up. "Hello, is that Janetta?" Over the phone, I heard a middle-aged man's voice with a bit of hoarseness. He is a stranger to me. Holding the phone, I hesitated for a moment, and said, "This is Janetta, you are..." "Hello, my name is Finn." As soon hearing this name, I was completely stressed. Finn, is Kelsi's father. He could also be my father... I was silent for a few seconds and then asked, "Mr. Finn, what's the matter?" "Well, I heard that you had sent Kelsi to the hospital today and paid for her medical expenses. I'm really grateful to you." Finn said politely on the other side of the phone. "It's alright. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll hang up first." Initially, I was going to hang up the phone as I said so. To Finn, I was very resistant. When I was about to press the hang-up button, I heard the voice fr

I smiled at Patrick. "No." At this moment, Nancy and Lisa left the room quietly. Before leaving, Nancy said, "Mr. Cowell, Janetta has been working overtime to enable us to finish our design ahead of schedule, so she can take ten days off.You can have her on your side these ten days. If you think the time is not enough, you can have her for twenty or thirty days..." "Let's go." Lisa pulled Nancy up. She seemed to have halted Nancy's momentum for giving me a holiday that will last forever. Only Patrick and I were left in the ward. He sat on the bed and held my hand, and his face was gloomy. "I won't interrupt you if you don't allow me to disturb your work. But the precondition must be you won't get sick." "I'm sorry, I was just..." Did you just try to calm yourself down in your job to avoid the comments on Internet?" Patrick asked me. I nodded and asked after thinking for a moment, "How is it going on the Internet? Is it better?

I blushed a little and pushed Patrick away. Then I said to Glenn, "Come on, Mom will change your clothes for you." As I spoke, I ushered him into the room. When I changed clothes for him, Glenn said, "Mom, I want to go to play with Cicely after changing my clothes." "Okay, I'll send you there." I nodded. When we came out, Patrick sat alone on the sofa and looked at us. He seemed to be angry and asked me, "Where are you going?" "Glenn said he wanted to play with Cicely." I explained to Patrick. The man waved his hand and said, "Don't bother. For Glenn, I specially built a children's entertainment park on the island. You can call your friend and send two children there to play." I called Nancy. She and her husband were planning to take Glenn to walk around on the island. Knowing what I told them, they immediately said, "You can take Glenn to the swimming boundless pool. We can take care of him, and the two children can play together w

When we arrived at the cocktail party, it was already over six o'clock. It was the time of sunset. The sun was hanging in the west, and its light was not very intensive. From a distance, I could see that everyone, except for us, was already there. Glenn and Cicely piled up a sand castle on the beach, Paulina was accompanying them at the side. Lisa and Roger were sitting together, and the two of them said one thing after the other. Nancy and Jerrold stood on the other side and took care of the children. As soon as we arrived, everyone came over, except for Glenn and Cicely. Paulina was the first one to come running. "Mr. Cowell!" She went up to Patrick and said excitedly, "This is the first time I have been so close to a living Mr. Cowell. Alas, he's so handsome. I can't regret for my whole life even if I just take a look at him." "Paulina." Nancy called her loudly. Paulina seemed to come up with something for a moment, so she
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 389 The good time before chaos
I took a few steps forward, reached out and wrapped my arm around the man's neck. I looked up at him and only said two words, "I want..." When I finished this series of actions and said these two words, I felt surprised. I looked at him with my bleary eyes, and my mind was in chaos. But I am a little sober at the same time. I was sober that there was some strangeness of the wine that Lisa gave me... I frowned. "The first glass of cocktail..." "If you want me, I'll make love to you." Patrick directly interrupted me. He picked me up and walked inside while kissing me. In the evening, he also drank a lot, and the faint aroma of wine mixed with the smell of tobacco swept through me. All of a sudden, my whole body turned greedy. I kept clinging to him for this kind of mixed taste. The man held me and walked step by step to the big sofa outside, which was originally used for basking in the sun. He threw me on it and pressed me down.

I took a small step to the stern and saw that only Jerrold and Patrick were there. I was afraid of scaring away the fish, so I kept quiet. Before I got close, I heard Jerrold said, "He has spent a lot of money on this matter. If there is no higher bargaining chip, it is very difficult to suppress this matter." "What's the price of these materials?" "At least this number." Jerrold said and raised his hand. I thought it was five million, and then I heard him said, "Fifty million." Hearing this number, I was astonished to breathless. Originally, I thought it was already very expensive, but I did not expect Jerrold to say, "And now you know the things in which people are most interested are not only the private life of stars, but also the private life of wealthy families. In the past, families of wealth have concealed their life tightly and would not be exposed to the public. Even the most popular stars will disappear when they marry into wealthy familie

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
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 514 Suspicion of False Imprisonment
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
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 513 Doctors Are Healers With Benevolent Hearts
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?
