Miley gulped and begged, "Don't tell him." She would be doomed if Jonason found out. Sigrid couldn't care less about telling Jonason about the matter, but she was somewhat interested in how worried Miley was when it came to matters concerning him. She teased, "You obey Jonason's orders a lot, don't you?" Before all this, Sigrid had thought that it was Jonason who listened to Miley. Miley's face turned red with embarrassment, and she muttered, "Not entirely..." It was just that if Jonason got angry, she would be exhausted in bed. When Sigrid saw her expression, she immediately understood what was going on. Truth be told, she was in the same situation as her. Usually, she could throw a tantrum in front of George. Nevertheless, once he threatened her, she immediately became a coward, and no longer dared to lose her temper at all. "Both of you are good-for-nothings," Elizabeth commented in a disgusted tone. Sigrid and Miley were speechless as they
Tianna frowned and looked at Oreo angrily. "You are not an obedient child." Although Oreo still couldn't understand Tianna's words, it could be seen from her expression that she was upset. He was immediately confused. He had clearly called out Tianna's name, but why did she look as if he had called out the wrong name? Oreo knitted his brows while Sigrid looked at him unhappily. "I take care of you every day. I have to change your diaper and make milk for you. However, you only care about your sister. You don't even respect your mother at such a young age. What will you do when you grow up?" "He'll probably be an unfilial son," George's face was also a bit unsightly. "We must hire a teacher to educate him." Oreo had no idea that he had to take lessons after turning a year old just because he ignored his parents. At that moment, he turned to Tianna with a pitiful look on his face. Tianna was still a little angry as she was unable to hear him utter her name,
The next morning, at the Andrew family. Elizabeth was awakened by her children in the morning. It was early in the morning, yet the two children were already crying. She frowned impatiently, rang the bell, and called for someone to take care of the children. Then, she went back to sleep. After another hour of sleep, her assistant, Emma, came up and greeted her, "Miss Andrew, the leader of the Foster family, Cedric Foster, is here again and he says that he wants to see you." Not opening her eyes, Elizabeth answered, "Tell him that I don't want to see him because he's too ugly." Emma replied, "He isn't ugly, though. He's pretty good-looking but just isn't that handsome." "If he's not considered handsome, then he's ugly," Elizabeth said impatiently. "Don't disturb my sleep. Get out." When Emma went downstairs and saw that Cedric was still sitting in the living room on the first floor, she informed him nervously, "Mr. Foster, Miss Elizabeth says th
Cedric frowned and uttered, "I am sure that it's you. After all, Sigrid's skills are no different from ordinary people's. It'd be impossible for her to be the one who saved me." Elizabeth was rendered speechless. Did that mean she had saved him of her own volition that year? Elizabeth cursed herself in her mind, then pointed to the door and ordered, "Please, get out now." Cedric felt a little depressed upon hearing her rudely chase him away, but he still added, "I'll leave first. Think about my offer." "What else should I consider? Haven't I already rejected him?" Elizabeth thought. As Elizabeth saw Cedric leave, she reckoned he would pester her for a long time. If Sigrid had not been taken to the Vincent family at the beginning, maybe they would have trained together, and Sigrid would not be as weak as she was now. If that happened, she could push all the blame to Sigrid. When Cedric realized that Sigrid was already married, he would give up.
That night, George came back from the company with a gloomy face. Sigrid noticed he seemed to be quite upset and went forward to ask, "What's wrong? You look unhappy. Did something happen to the company?" "It's not about the company." After saying that, George picked her up and went upstairs. Sigrid was a little confused. If it wasn't about the company, why was he so angry as soon as he returned? George took her back to her room and immediately put her down. Then, he pressed her against the door and kissed her hard. Sigrid was shocked. "Uhh..." What's wrong with him! Sigrid was a little flustered. What was he thinking? Why was he so eager to kiss her just as he just came back from work, and why was he doing it so harshly? She felt like her lips were being devoured by him! Sigrid felt a little wronged. Had he been drugged? If so, should she take out the inflatable doll? Otherwise, with her strength, she might die of tiredness in bed.
Wrenna heard him and immediately withdrew her hands and feet, looking at him defensively. She grabbed her collar tightly, for fear that he would pounce on her. Just half a month ago, Charles had gone out for business and drank too much... At first, Wrenna had thought about struggling, but she was not strong enough. In the end, she could only steam in anger and be taken advantage of. After waking up the next morning, the relationship between them had worsened. "If you don't have the courage, then don't irritate me with those words," Charles reminded coldly. Wrenna was fuming in rage. How could this man be so arrogant! A few days later, Charles took Wrenna to City A. In addition to meeting the Andrew family, the most important thing was to transfer Wrenna's registered address. Last night, Derrick Lawson had been outraged when he found out about the matter. However, Wrenna found out that he had always known that she was not his biological da
Charles puckered his lips. Truth be told, when he had schemed against Wrenna, he had no idea what had gone down between George and Sigrid. But after he learned about it, he did want to learn something from them. However, the same plot did not seem appropriate for them as it appeared to be failing. Wrenna wanted to become one of the top celebrities in the entertainment industry. She was in no mood to fall in love with anyone, let alone develop a relationship with him. Sigrid shook her head helplessly and sighed. "It's impossible. How bad is he at romance to not be able to pursue you despite using the same tricks?" Sigrid was a little surprised. In terms of relationships, Charles and Rachel were different. It was clear that Rachel got together with Cyrus easily, and she followed him everywhere. Charles was right behind them, and he heard everything they were discussing. Sigrid failed to notice that the two men were following behind her, instead thinkin
The Andrew family had been waiting anxiously, especially Vallerie, who glanced at the door from time to time. When she saw a few people coming in, she fixed her gaze on Wrenna. Wrenna also had a pair of alluring eyes. She was beautiful and charming, but the lower half of her face was completely different from Vallerie's. So, she did not look like her biological mother. It was not until they came in and sat down that Vallerie commented, "You look so much like your parents." Sigrid took a closer look at Wrenna's face and realized that the lower half of her face was actually somewhat similar to Franklin. Franklin was also quite good looking. Even though he had grown old and had wrinkles on his face now, it could not change the fact that he was handsome. Wrenna looked similar to her parents. One could easily tell that she was Franklin's child, even without the need to go for a DNA paternity test. Vallerie was happy that she had finally found Sandra's dau
"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
