The three team members, consisting of two men and a woman, came out from the other side of the stage. They began to search their dishes on the table, and finally stood in front of them. "It's a pity that all three teams got it wrong this round. All three teams don't get any points." While looking at the teammates standing in front of them, and also about their guesses, the guessing teammates were all stunned. Was the production team playing a trick on them? "Wasn't the arrangement based on the taste of the food?" A team member asked in shock. They all thought that the dishes were arranged according to the taste. However, the reality was the first dish corresponded to the first team, the second dish belonged to the second team while the third dish was from the third team. A normal person must have thought that the production team would certainly mess up the sequence. Who would have thought that the production team did it intentionally? "The prod
Rachel was initially stunned and then quickly said, "I was careless. I thought that she would only give me a gentle push, but I ended up hitting my head. It's okay. The doctor said that it's just a slight concussion, so it doesn't matter." Cyrus felt so angry until he wanted to laugh, and he retorted, "Yeah, it's just a slight concussion now. Do you want to have a serious concussion next time?" Rachel was speechless, "I didn't mean that. Why is my husband being so unforgiving towards me?" "Remember, you have to take care of yourself at all times. If you hurt yourself again in the future, you'll see how I'll deal with you!" Rachel was elated inside upon hearing his warning. She reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "I know. If I still make such a mistake in the future, you'll make it hard for me to get out of bed! Don't be so angry!" Cyrus laughed coldly, "That's just wishful thinking. In the future, if you make such a mistake again, we'll sleep in separate r
After Ariel entered the mall, she cursed that shallow man, Christin. What a joke, saying that Natasha's legs were a million times better than Ariel's. They were obviously the same person. Was it possible that Natasha's legs were straight, whereas when the same pair of legs were on Ariel, they were crooked? This dumba*s was clowning himself! Ariel made fun of him in her mind and then went into the shopping mall to pick out some clothes. After casually choosing a set of clothes, she said, "I want this one in S-size. Pack it up directly. I don't need to try it on." "Aren't you afraid that it's unsuitable for you to wear?" A man's annoying voice came from behind her. Ariel turned her face and saw that Christin was behind her. Only the heavens knew when he had appeared. She frowned. "Why will it be unsuitable?" "Your skin is so dark. Wearing this will make you look darker!" Christin reminded her. Ariel gnashed her teeth, "This isn't something
"How can I not be? I have double eyelids! A high nose!" Christin pointed at the bridge of his nose. "Look at me clearly, how am I not your type?!" "I'm talking about personality!" Natasha frowned and said with a serious face, "I like serious men. I don't like flirty idiots like you!" Idiots? Flirty? Christin was dissatisfied, "If you only said 'flirty', I'd reluctantly accept that as the truth, but what do you mean by 'idiot'?" "Take your time to understand my words." Natasha crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him elatedly, "You suddenly said that you wanted to chase me. Do you have any ulterior motives?" Upon hearing Natasha's sudden question, Christin was shocked. He immediately said, "No! What ulterior motives can I have? I just suddenly realized that I'm nearing my thirties, yet I haven't had a girlfriend yet. You're also single, and your appearance suits my tastes. That's why I came to ask you out. Just give me a chance, won't you? Both of
Lizzy added, "Make her fall in love with you so that she'll make other requests." Christin asked, "Like asking me to date her?" "Yes, otherwise perhaps she will have a bit of a good impression of you, thus show you mercy." "Lizzy, you are so smart. Your analysis of love is deep! You must have Lucas in your control every day!" Elizabeth was speechless. After Christin got hold of the solution, he suddenly felt that he had found a way to start carrying out his plan. Therefore, the next day, just as Ariel had rushed to the campus to attend a lecture and was about to go back to the hotel, she walked out of the gates of University A to see Christin's red Ferrari. He wore a casual suit that was unzipped. Inside was his brother's V-neck shirt. He leaned against the door of the car lazily and coquettishly, staring at the gates. The girls coming out of the campus gate could not help sneaking glances at him when they saw him. Especially his lo
"You don't need to do that. You are not a man in his early twenties anymore. You'd better find a woman to get married and have a baby as soon as possible!" Edward's heart ached when he heard her mention children, "I-I can't possibly have a child anymore." Hearing his disappointed tone, Sigrid knew she had hit his sore spot and felt a little awkward. She said, "If you really can't, you can adopt a child. There is no need for you to have one biologically. Anyway, it's already impossible for us to happen." "Sigrid, do you really think that George will love you for the rest of his life?" Edward looked at her and said seriously, "Do you know why George has liked you for so long?" "Why?" Sigrid was curious. Truth be told, she did not really know what George liked about her. George used to say that he had met her during his childhood. She had been just bullied, so he handed her a handkerchief. She had seen him as a good person, and his clothes had been drenched w
However, after this incident, Sigrid hurriedly went through the procedures for leaving the campus. After that, she decided to head back into the mansion to hide for a little while. She did not feel like coming out at all. The outside world was too terrifying. She needed to rest for at least a month. Sigrid ate, drank, and slept at home every day. She decided to take a walk in the afternoon when the midday sun was less relentless. Although it was called a courtyard, it seemed more like an endless piece of flatland. It was huge. Yes, she had indeed wanted to take a walk, but she could not finish walking around the entire courtyard. Sigrid had no idea what George was busy with lately. He went out early in the morning and came back late at night. She assumed that he was busy with the Toland's Group's up-and-coming projects, so she did not take it to heart. It was not until when Rachel sent her a message, informing her that the Finn family had filed for bankruptcy.
When George heard the sound of the door opening, he turned around, only to meet a raging Sigrid. "Tianna told me you brought her to meet a lady, and that she wanted to be Tianna's mother? What's that about? Are you having an affair?" She stormed towards him as molten anger rolled through her. When George saw how mad she was, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Are you...jealous?" Sigrid was stunned upon hearing his question and then said with a flushed face, "What do you mean I'm jealous? I merely came here to clarify! You previously told me to stay away from other men, but you went behind my back and looked for other women. Since you like that woman so much, we'll get a divorce. I'll take Tianna away. Don't expect Tianna and our unborn child to address that woman as their mother. I will not agree to that!" George felt she was adorable when she looked mad. He put the book back on the bookshelf and reached out to hug her. Unexpectedly, Sigrid immedi
"Okay." Grace agreed and said, "I have something else to discuss with you." When he finally heard this sentence, Zaden knew that there must've been something going on. "What's the matter?" As they talked, they went into the lounge. Zaden also specifically told the secretaries that no one was allowed to come in and disturb him before work in the afternoon. These words made the secretaries' eyes turn red. Since he had ordered them to keep everyone out of his office while he was inside with a woman, it was hard to control their imaginations from running wild. "How's your investigation on my surrogacy?" Grace asked. Zaden had thought that Grace's patience was wearing thin, and so she had sought him out for an update on his progress. Feeling a little ashamed, he said, "I'm sorry. There hasn't been any progress so far. You know that information on surrogacy is highly secured. It won't be so easy for my subordinates to investigate it." "It's okay. You
"Stop!" Grace made a gesture and said, "I'm going to the Empire Group. Do you want to go with me?" "Oh?" Gentry was flustered for a moment and then realized that he had almost gotten himself in trouble. He quickly said goodbye. "Sorry, sorry for bothering you. It's my fault!" Grace shook her head helplessly. She went to the kitchen to bring the toiletries she had prepared for Zaden, and set off for the Empire Group. Grace took a cab, as she didn't have the nerve to ask her chauffeurs to give her a ride. This was the first time Grace had taken the initiative to go there. She didn't know whether she was going to meet Zaden or not, but the staff at the front desk had changed since the last time she had went to deliver food and she didn't know when it had happened. Hence, the new staff didn't know her at all. However, when she saw that Grace was dressed up very beautifully and elegantly, she guessed that Grace must be someone important. Naturally, she didn't d
This time, Grace took the initiative. She stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around Zaden's neck, and took the initiative to plant her pink lips on his. The chaste kisses turned into lingering kisses. Zaden had always restrained himself very much. Every time he met Grace, he always felt that he was on the verge of losing control. "Well, I can't believe that you are so obedient today. Go to sleep. If you kiss me again, I might not remain chaste. You won't have a chance to sleep even if you want to," said Zaden. After going to bed, Grace took the initiative to cradle into Zaden's arms. Just like Dulcie acting like a spoiled child, Grace had also put all of her heart and soul into Zaden, like a spoiled child. The next day, there was still no sign of Zaden at breakfast in the Andrew household. "Oh? Dad's gone again..." Dulcie said regretfully. Douglas found that his sister was upset, thus he comforted her, "It doesn't matter, Dulcie. Daddy need
The silent confrontation was still going on, and Zaden was waiting. When would Moira give in? Moira was also waiting. When would Zaden be gracious enough to let her go? However, perhaps these two people didn't know each other very well. They both had naive expectations that were absolutely wrong and impossible to achieve from the beginning. "It's so cold..." Moira murmured in a low voice. As she spoke, a puff of white vapor immediately appeared in front of her lips. Even though kneeling down like this was not a big deal, Moira had always been pampered and had grown up a spoiled child. She had never suffered this kind of hardship before. Her body could not bear it either. She only felt that her legs were on the verge of losing its strength and becoming numb. The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the wind and rain swayed. Flowers in the garden were beaten into a mess by the rain, as so was Moira. Moira's body had reached its limit, and she could not catch h
"Plop—" Moira's kneecaps hit the ground, the sound of it ringing crisp. Grace was dumbfounded. She looked at Moira, who was kneeling in front of her, and could not say anything for a while. As for Zaden, there was not even the slightest expression on his face. "What, what are you doing?" Grace asked. She instinctively stood up from her chair as she took in the scene before her, at a complete loss of what to do. Moira glanced at her. Sometimes, when one's ego was at one's feet, one becomes more able to take humiliation than usual. She replied with indifference, "Why are you so agitated? I'm not kneeling at you. Don't think too much of yourself." Moira looked at Zaden and said, "Zaden, I beg you, please have mercy on the Coulson family. No matter what you demand, as long as I can do it, you can demand it!" Zaden frowned and said, "Kneel further if you want to. You're an eyesore right now." Mercy? For someone like Zaden, mercy had always bee
"No, Mother, if Zaden takes over the Coulson Group, then we..." Moira could not continue speaking. She did not even want to imagine what would happen. "You understand now? I thought a donkey kicked you in the brain!" "That... That won't do. I'll go beg him right now!" Moira shouted. Now that things had come to this, it was obvious that Zaden's target was Moira. Although she was extremely unwilling, she would have to make a stand against him now. No matter what she would have to experience, she had to protect the company. She could not lose everything. She rushed to the Andrew family villa, but Moira was not even allowed through the main entrance. "Let me in!" Moira began making a scene outside. She made such a ruckus that it was difficult for the people inside to ignore her. "Mr. Andrew, Miss Coulson is causing a scene outside, this..." the butler informed Zaden "Let her be," Zaden said expressionlessly. This was not the first
Grace frowned before cutting Moira off. "Moira, there's no use in talking to me like that. I just want to know who it is. Tell me the truth!" "Do you think I'll tell you just because you want to know?" Moira scoffed before retorting, "Who do you think you are?" "Does this mean that you admit you used Mr. Yale's name to deceive me?" Grace quickly latched onto the loophole in Moira's words. "Hah, I didn't say that. You're just making things up." Moira was still as stubborn as a mule. She once again diverted the topic so that she could insult and ridicule Grace. All sorts of vulgarities came through the call, and each minute that passed only pushed a person's limits even further. Grace felt nothing at Moira's words. However, Zaden, who was next to her, did not want to hear any more of it. He was on his last straw, so he grabbed the phone to end the call. "Are you stupid? Just letting her scold you like that?" Zaden asked, his tone sour. "As long a
"Mr. Yale and his wife are quite old, so having children has been difficult for them. In the beginning, they contacted many surrogacy agencies. However, Mr. Yale was extremely cautious when it came to picking a surrogate mother. This caused a lot of trouble to the agencies since the surrogate mothers they suggested never met his standards." "Later, Mr. Yale thought about going abroad to find a surrogate mother. However, right at the critical moment, he suddenly found out that Mrs. Yale was already pregnant!" "The pleasant surprise caused them to give up their search for a surrogate mother. After all, Mrs. Yale wasn't getting any younger and they both went through a lot to get this son, so that's why the Yale family treats him so preciously." As Zaden listened to the report from his subordinate on the other end of the call, his mood grew complicated. The only way he could clear his mind was to focus on the fact that the night wind had blown his body cold. To be h
Mr. Yale's word of thanks was like a knife stabbing into Grace's heart. How could she be worthy of his gratitude? She could not take it anymore and felt like returning to the car to escape the situation. Mr. Yale withdrew his hand in embarrassment. Even he, who was usually slick and smooth, could not find the right words to say at this time. Zaden tried to smooth things over by saying, "I'm sorry, she was one of the victims too, so..." "I understand," Mr. Yale said with a nod. "We understand and more than anything else, we thank you, Mr. Andrew. You've worked hard today. We won't take up any more of your time. You should go back early and rest. We will definitely drop by next time to properly thank you." Zaden nodded and turned to get in the car. Dulcie was all worn out from crying too long, so she was curled up in her seat and fast asleep. Zaden asked softly, "What on earth happened before I arrived?" Grace suddenly turned teary-eyed. The tear
