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
The next morning, Sigrid woke up to find that the other side of the bed was empty. She blushed and quickly put on her clothes. When she went downstairs to have breakfast, she realized she had woken up late and that George had already left for work. Sigrid decided to turn on her phone while she ate her breakfast. Only then did she receive Rachel's messages. Rachel's text read, "Breaking news! Rebecca has recuperated and will begin serving her sentence today!" "Although what she did was sickening, she's quite pitiful. Just like that, she lost her child. Until now, I still can't seem to figure out what happened to her child." Sigrid briefly glanced at the timestamp of the message. She quickly gobbled down her food and replied to Rachel's message. Sigrid replied, "She's going to jail today? How is she able to recover so quickly after her miscarriage?" Rachel's message read, "Yeah, they've probably dragged this on for quite a while." After understan
"It's good that you can think like that," Kama nodded. "After all, celebrities these days rely on their visuals to survive. You should remember that even if you are in prison, you should not neglect yourself. You have to keep your spirits up and get plenty of rest. This is the most important thing." Rebecca nodded. There were no skin care products in prison. She was afraid that her skin would deteriorate by being in jail. In that case, she could only do her best to take care of her skin so that she would not look like she had aged by the time she was released. It was not until Rebecca had to be transferred to jail that Kama reluctantly left. Kama gritted her teeth at the thought of Sigrid and George. She made a mental note to come up with a way to deal with both of them before Rebecca was released from jail. Otherwise, that b*tch would become too arrogant! However, she was not in a rush to deal with this matter. Sigrid submitted her thesis and presen
Rachel replied, "Wait, what?" "Are you really going to ditch me to look for your husband?" At this moment, Sigrid had just arrived home. She was lying on the bed while coaxing Tianna to sleep. When Tianna finally fell asleep, she got out of bed and ran to the study to find George to settle the score. She pushed open the door to the study. When she saw he did not even raise his head, she asked, "We need to talk. Is your current work urgent?" Although she was angry, she also knew that her problem was not as important as his work. "It's not that urgent. What do you want to talk about?" George raised his head with a stern look. Sigrid did not dare to believe him. This guy seemed like such a serious person, yet why was his mind always in the gutter? She had thought that nothing about him would faze her anymore, but she did not expect that there was something even more unbelievable about him. He even said that he would satisfy her at most once
Oh my goodness! Sigrid was shocked as she texted, "What the hell? The child in the picture is Miley? She looked like that when she was young?" Rachel replied, "Yeah! According to Cyrus, when Enigma was on the rise last year, people started accusing the band members of plastic surgery except for Natasha because she had been a celebrity since small and most of her fans watched her grew up. As for the rest of the members, they had to prove their innocence by posting a picture of their younger self. Miley had posted every birthday picture of hers ever since she was a baby." "This is why I felt Tianna looked very familiar. Why do they look so alike? Do you think they're blood-related?" "According to those romance novel plots, all signs point to Tianna being Miley's daughter!" "She's roughly of the same age, too. I've thought about it. Next month would be Miley's twenty-second birthday, and Tianna is slightly over one year old. This means that she had her when s
"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
