Although Seth was changing the subject, regarding what he said, I indeed had to face it as well. ...... After all, he had confessed to me in front of many colleagues of mine today. I did have to make the relationship between the two of us clear. However... "I'm sorry." I, who had been pondering on it for a whole day, could only say so in the end. As soon as I finished my words, Seth pressed his index finger against my lips, "Shh. I know what you are worried about. As long as you stand behind me, never should you be afraid. I surely will protect myself. Only in this way can I protect you." His answer put me in a momentary trance. "But..." As I wanted to remind him that Patrick wouldn't let us go just like that, Seth said first, "You won't get me into trouble." I had to admit that Seth did have touched me. I was not sure this counted as a confirmed relationship. But after that, I would spend 2 days weekly having meal
I was stunned. At this time, my cell phone rang. I lowered my head and looked at the caller ID, which was Seth Hyde. I glimpsed at the time and found that it was noon now. Usually, if Seth was in the company, he would ask me to have lunch at this time. I looked up at Patrick. Thinking of the orphanage just now, I didn't know how to answer Seth's call for a moment. So I muted it. Patrick did not say anything else. Only after Seth stopped calling me did I ask, "What do you want to do?" "Nothing. It is just that Grandpa misses you," Patrick said flatly. I didn't believe his words at all. I argued, "How could it be? Didn't you tell him that I killed Caroline's child and you wanted to divorce me?" Patrick loved Caroline so much. And he was certain that she was framed by me. He surely would have taken advantage of such a good opportunity. I wasn't convinced by his words. However, Patrick tilted his head and looked at me
That afternoon, Patrick took me to a fashion studio, chose a set of evening dresses for me, and matched it with a short cloak. I put on makeup and did the styling there. When everything was done, I looked at myself in the mirror and thought of my future life. I felt helpless. Moreover, I felt sad as well as despicable. That evening, I continued to put on a show with Patrick at Ned's house. We were pretending to be a loving couple. At the banquet, Ned urged us over and over again, saying that we should bear him a fat grandson. I agreed with a faint smile. But I knew that this kind of thing would never happen. After we came out of the Cowell Family house, I was about to get in the car. However, the tassel of the small cloak was hooked onto the covered button of Patrick's belt. I wore a low-cut evening dress inside. So I hadn't ever taken off the cloak over the banquet that night. But, at this time, the tassel was hoo
Caroline was here. I stood at the door and heard how she was arguing with the bodyguards. Finally, I personally stepped forward and opened the door. When Caroline saw me standing in the door, she was almost stunned! After a long time, she said with a stiff smile, "Charlotte, it's you." I deliberately called her full name, "What's the matter, Caroline Archer?" Caroline was embarrassed. But she still asked me with a faint smile, "Why are you here? Did Patrick make things difficult for you again?" I looked at her hypocritical face. Besides feeling disgusted, I felt angry more! She and Patrick could never get away with my child's death! Obviously, she didn't know that it was me who was here. "No, I'm on good terms with him. We went to see Grandpa tonight," I said with a smile. Even though it was late, I could see that Caroline's face was pale as she heard my words. She didn't believe me at first. But she could see me wearing an e
For a long time, the office was quiet. Only then did I hear Seth say, "If you do think so, I will respect your decision. But..." He paused and continued, "If you can't pretend anymore one day and you believe that I can survive from Patrick and protect you, remember to come back to my side." His words made me extremely guilty. I didn't remember how I had left his office that day. But as soon as I returned to the villa, I took off all my clothes and got changed with my cheap dress. This was who I was. In the next month, I didn't know how I had made it. I couldn't even find a reason to live on. Seth would occasionally call me. If I didn't answer his call, he would text me. I didn't get back to him either. One day, I received a call from Angie. As soon as I answered her phone, she scolded me. Only then did I know that something had happened to Glorious Seth Design. I had done as Patrick said. And I had resigned f
After a while, a red Aston Martin sports car stopped at the entrance of the studio. A beautiful woman got off the car. It was Caroline Archer! I was stunned. Then I looked at the clothing studio behind me. I suddenly remembered that Caroline had said before that she dreamt of having a clothing brand of her own... In an instant, I realized that she should be the boss Wilson had mentioned! Before I could say something, Angie had taken a few steps forward and greeted Caroline intimately. But I felt vaguely uneasy in my heart. When Caroline saw me, she raised her hand and said with a smile, "Charlotte, long time no see." The shrewdness in her eyes couldn't be more obvious, making me realize that this order wouldn't be an ordinary one. If she played some tricks, Glorious Seth Design, which was about to be crumbling, was very likely to be trapped! I stepped forward and questioned her, "Caroline Archer, what on earth do you want to d
It was probably because that I was titled as Mrs. Cowell that her words made I feel sad. Even if I refused to admit it, the truth was right in front of me. This piece of land was located in the downtown of City Y where every inch of land worthed a lot. Moreover, it was not far from the office building of Patrick's Towering High Group. The value of this place was immeasurable. Since Patrick was willing to buy this land for Caroline, it meant that she was very important to him. Looking at Caroline, I sneered and said, "My husband is so blessed, who has taken both of us in. Especially you, Caroline, as a mistress, you enjoy this title with great relish." "You!" Caroline started to get angry. But soon, she calmed down and said, "Don't be proud. You are a woman with a criminal record. I will see how the Cowell Family can tolerate you!" "Can't they tolerate me? My husband has already concealed the fact that I went to jail for me. Grandpa Cowell only
I decided to do my best to make this project work. Although I had promised Seth that I would schedule my time reasonably and have a good rest. Early the next morning, I got up at 5 a.m. and arrived at the construction site before 6 a.m. Before all the workers could arrive, I checked all the materials and checked both the inside and outside of the construction site. Only after that was I relieved. The whole project lasted for two and a half months. During this period, I didn't rest once. In summer, there was no air conditioner or fan in the studio. As I endured the heat in the studio day by day, I almost had heatstroke several times, making a herbal liquid for heat prevention an essential item in my bag. Finally, the day of handing over the project came. That day, Patrick, Caroline, Angie, me, Seth, and every one of the Engineering Department were all on the scene. We inspected and checked the whole project bit by bit. In the e
