After George and Sigrid left, Cedric and Rose were still cooperating with the police on the investigation. Because someone had died, Rose and everyone wearing dark colored clothes had to prove an alibi. They also had to check the surveillance footage. Following that, there was an awkward situation. Rose went to the toilet at that time and talked with Clyde's other girlfriends. As they were using the toilet, Clyde happened to fall from the top of the building during this time. Women usually took a long time in the toilet. Not to mention it was currently winter season, so it was relatively harder to move around with a lot of layers of clothes. In addition, there were many stalls in the toilet. Thus, they all went in together at that same time, and no one was waiting outside. That was to say, during those few minutes, everyone didn't have an alibi. It was because it was very likely that someone had taken advantage of this opportunity to look for Clyde. Rose w
Lucas carried Sugar Bun and coaxed him for a long time. Only then he realized that Elizabeth had been staring at him all this while. He was a little embarrassed and asked, "Is there something on my face?" "Don't you know what's on your face? Your burn marks!" Elizabeth answered. Lucas was speechless. It wasn't very nice to disclose one's scars like this! Lucas felt very aggrieved and questioned, "Before I lost my memory and I was with you... did you talk like this too?" She replied, "Yes." Lucas added, "Then, I'm pretty sure I didn't like you. I guess I was only interested in your money." Elizabeth was annoyed. "Are you asking for a beating?" Elizabeth looked at him with obvious disdain and commented, "You're quite rich." "Huh?" Lucas couldn't believe it and asked, "If I am rich, then why am I your kept man?" Elizabeth wanted to smash all the food placed on the table onto his head. Who said that he was her kept man? Eliz
From the moment Lucas lost his memory to after he returned to be with Elizabeth, he felt that her character was a bit odd. She did things as she liked and had a bad temper. It seemed that she would take in a man because of this kind of thing. However, since he was not a kept man, why did he have intercourse with Elizabeth? Did they both fall in love with each other? Thinking of this, Lucas looked at Elizabeth strangely. Elizabeth frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?" Lucas smiled awkwardly. "You brought me back because of this. So, why... did we... have intercourse?" Could it be... that he devoted himself to her for saving his life? Thinking of this, Lucas suddenly shivered. He always felt that it was a bit weird. Why did it feel like an ancient hero rescued a beauty, and that was why the beauty promised to devote herself? However, the problem was he was a man! Elizabeth looked at him disgustedly and grunted, "You sl
Sigrid texted, "I met Cedric today and told him that Lucas has returned." Elizabeth replied, "It's fine. He could finally back out of an awkward situation." Sigrid replied, "Hmmm." Elizabeth asked, "What's wrong? Is it not like that?" Sigrid replied, "I bet that he'll work harder to chase you. Hehe." Elizabeth was speechless. Elizabeth replied, "This is not funny at all." Sigrid continued, "There's one thing you'll probably be interested in. I met him because Rose was involved in a case. Clyde died after falling off from a tall building..." Then, Sigrid told Elizabeth everything she saw. Elizabeth replied, "She must be the murderer. She should be arrested and shot as execution!" Sigrid knew that she would say that. Sigrid laughed, "I knew that you would say that. However, there are a lot of suspects. I figure that this case will take a long time to solve." Elizabeth responded, "I was happy for nothing." Sigri
After Cedric arrived at the Andrew family's house, he was welcomed by the servants of the Andrew family. At first, he felt as if his greatest love rival had come back. And on this day, it would definitely be a horrifying battlefield. He had long been prepared for this. Even if he was not as good looking as Lucas, he had to beat Lucas by dressing up. He had to look his best so that he would not be too far behind Lucas' handsome appearance. However, when he arrived at the lobby of the first floor of the small building where Elizabeth lived, he frowned slightly when he saw the person whose face was burned. The man was very tall with a good figure. The skin on his face was flawless and looked quite good. However, because of the small area of burns, he still looked a little scary. Cedric frowned, looked at Elizabeth in confusion, and asked, "Who is he?" He couldn't believe it all. Elizabeth was someone who cared about looks so much. How could she let such a per
At this moment, Elizabeth really wanted to tell Cedric that even if Lucas had not appeared, and even if Cedric had decided from the beginning that he would pursue her, she would still not like Cedric. First of all, she was particular about appearances. The person had to be good looking before she would pay attention to the person's inner beauty. Secondly, she was a foodie. She would never like someone with bad cooking skills. She really didn't want to hire a chef to cook for her at home. Thus, if she didn't know how to cook, her boyfriend must know how to cook. Finally, she fell in love with Lucas. So what if his face was disfigured? What else could she do besides help him to heal? Otherwise, should she go and find another good-looking guy who also could cook to be Biscuit and Sugar Bun's stepfather? What if he abused them while she was not paying attention? Only she was allowed to bully her sons! Other people were not allowed to! "Lizzy, I was not c
Cedric left. However, Lucas was still in a daze and didn't know what to do next. Four... four hours... Was he really that great? Lucas looked at Elizabeth with some hesitation. He thought that Elizabeth was deliberately exaggerating so that Cedric would retreat quickly. He pursed his lips while his ears were still red. However, he asked, "Is that a good idea? If he gives up, then Biscuit and Sugar Bun will lose their father." Although he could take good care of the two children, he still couldn't compare to their biological father. Elizabeth looked at him with disgust. Did he really not know who was the father of the babies if she didn't say anything? Couldn't he guess by thinking about it carefully? It did not occur to Elizabeth that Lucas thought Cedric was Biscuit and Sugar Bun's father. He somehow jumped to that assumption. Elizabeth said coldly, "Don't worry. A lot of people want to be their father." That was somehow true.
Sigrid's sharp eyes noticed that Lucas' ears had turned red. Suddenly, the cogs in her little head began to turn. Lucas didn't seem like someone bold. He currently had lost his memory. It was likely that he wouldn't take the initiative. Elizabeth looked cold, and she wouldn't take the initiative either. Hence, Lucas probably blushed because they had kissed? If Lucas knew Sigrid's thoughts at this moment, he would definitely tell her that although Elizabeth looked very cold, she was really very enthusiastic in terms of certain aspects. "Cedric has most probably given up already." When Elizabeth said this, she was happy that she wouldn't be bothered again in the future. Every time Cedric came to see her, he had a good attitude. However, she still found him annoying and couldn't drive him away. All the more because he was Rose's idiot brother. At the thought of this, she felt disgusted. "Are you sure that he has given up? Maybe he just left temporarily." Cedric had
"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
