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
Sigrid suddenly felt that Jonason's idea was quite nice. Originally, she had still been worried about letting the nanny take care of Oreo and Candy if she and Tianna went for training as George had to work as well. She was particularly worried about Oreo. He had quite the temper despite his young age. Tianna had to be the one to feed him milk, and he would refuse to drink if someone else fed him. She would have to trouble Tianna when the time came. After class, she would check on Oreo just in case he made a fuss. He was such a spoiled brat! Sigrid asked, "Okay, then when will the weaklings' lessons start?" Although she felt that the name of the class was quite humiliating, she could not do anything because she was indeed a weakling. So, she felt that it was quite a suitable name. Jonason replied, "We'll start next Monday. After that, the classes will be held every day. The schedule for every week will be different, and classes will be arranged a week
Sigrid got up early on Monday morning. She held Tianna in her arms, and they washed up together. Tianna was short, so she had to brush her teeth while standing on the bathroom countertop. After brushing her teeth, she asked, "Mommy, why hasn't Daddy got up yet? Daddy is a big lazy pig! Even I have gotten up already!" "It's not time for Daddy to work yet. Let him sleep for a while more. We should lower our voices," Sigrid answered and wiped Tianna's face with a piece of disposable tissue. Tianna obediently washed her face and applied the baby lotion on her face. Then, she went downstairs with Sigrid to have breakfast. They got up at 6 a.m., and it was only 6.30 a.m. when they finished getting ready and ate breakfast. After all, they did not need to apply any makeup. It was fast to brush their teeth, wash their faces and change their clothes. The two of them got on a small vehicle and headed directly to the children's area. Sigrid only found out that t
Christin continued, "Among these courses, the body-shaping course is a one-on-one course. That is to say, all five teachers will be present at the same time, which is almost the same as a private training class in the gym. This is also the class that you will attend the most in the beginning of your training. There will be one class every day, as well as a physical fitness class. Other than that, there are various kinds of martial arts and shooting classes. There will also be dance and yoga classes. The last class of every morning and afternoon will be stretching classes." "Teacher, there's something wrong with your words! The class that we have to attend the most should be stretching class!" Wrenna raised her hand with a solemn look on her face and corrected him. The corner of Christin's mouth twitched violently. "Even if you know that, don't say it out loud! Can't you care a little about my feelings?" Wrenna cowered and thought to herself, "Christin is so fierce!"
Sigrid found that even though the weight had been reduced by fifteen kilograms, it was still very tiring for her at times. Therefore, she couldn't take it anymore after doing ten reps when she was supposed to do twenty to thirty reps in one set. This caused her to reduce the number of reps in each set but increase the number of sets. Half an hour into the class, she felt she was the most miserable one among them all. During the break, she secretly took a glance at the few other teams at the side. Jonason had been cautious with Miley. He had put less weight on her and did not expect too much of her. Christin did not dare to put too much weight on Natasha. He probably felt that Natasha could not handle a lot of weight with her skinny arms and legs. As Eunice's health was not very good, she only had to lift the lightest weight. However, she still needed the help of her teacher to complete the training. Wrenna and her teacher had a lot of things t
"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
