But she still had to talk to George at night. After all, she had to get his permission to go out to work. Otherwise, without a driver to bring her back and forth, she would have to get to the office on foot and she was afraid that would take forever! Sigrid reckoned that if George was to reject the idea of her working, it certainly would be because he would be ashamed of having his wife working for a few thousand per month, and he would lose face. Apart from that, there should be no other reasons for him not to agree. All she had to tell him was that she would not reveal her identity at work, so she should be fine. Sigrid thought well. It was already six o'clock when George came back home. After dinner, George went straight into the study and did not give her a chance to speak at all, which annoyed her a little. In order to save time, she first took a shower so she would not have to waste more time later and she could talk to George. But George hadn't re
Sigrid widened her eyes. The next second, she quickly put her arms across her chest. "You wish! I don't sell my body!" George felt that her reaction was very cute, and the curve at the corners of his mouth became more and more obvious. "Are you sure you won't think about it again? Ten million." 'No, perhaps I should reconsider. It's ten million! The ring can only be sold when we're divorced. Who knows if George would be willing to divorce in accordance with the contract's requirements! If I don't leave him... I don't have money, do I?' she calculated. No, she still had a ring worth eight million with his card in her hand... "I don't want it! You gave me your card! I'm not short of money!" Sigrid slipped the card into her top and arrogantly went back to bed. George was flummoxed. 'Did she really just stick the card there?' "I'll take that as your agreement to let me go work," Sigrid decided to play the rogue. "You have to remember to tell the driver t
This man's bearing was somewhat similar to George's. Judging from his appearance alone, he was definitely more of an ascetic, but his eyes were extremely pretty. Sigrid approached nearer to him and found that he had the same bewitching eyes as she did. Those sort of bewitching eyes were not that rare, but there were not many as vibrant as hers. "My wife, Sigrid." George introduced Sigrid to the man, and then pulled her to sit beside him. Then he introduced the man to Sigrid, "This is the eldest son of the Andrew family, Jonason Andrew." 'Even his name was conservative and traditional' she said to herself. Jonason nodded slightly to Sigrid, then looked back at George. "I'll go now since we've finished talking." "Okay," replied George. After seeing Jonason off, Sigrid looked at him and said, "Was that Loris's brother? Does he have a twin brother?" "Yes." George didn't really like her asking about other men. He just nodded perfunctorily and said n
Sigrid put some makeup on and changed her clothes, then they both got into the car. It was a long drive from their home to the Andrew's house. After half an hour, Sigrid was feeling strange as she was wondering how the Georges and the Andrews had got to know and become friends. Was it all because of business cooperation? She looked at George not knowing what he was thinking and asked, "Can I hold your arm without speaking?" "Okay," George answered. Sigrid was relieved. Even if she went there, she didn't know anyone and she had no clue how to speak with these big tycoons. She guessed it would be all business talks. After finally arriving at the Andrew family, Sigrid looked at the extravagant gate in front of her with great surprise. There was a long distance between the iron gate and the house. It was very different from their mansion. Everything here seemed so majestic that at first glance, it made people feel stressed. Sigrid swa
Loris was enraged when she saw this and was not convinced about what she was witnessing, but she could not think of a way to drive Sigrid away. "I don't remember ever dancing with you before," George looked at Loris coldly and said. "Don't talk nonsense, or don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between our two families." Loris bit her lip with aggravation. "I just don't like to see you with her. Why are you so mean? Even when I used to bully Rebecca before, I never saw you so mean to me!" "Is it comparable?" George thought inwardly. Hearing this, Sigrid was really surprised. She glanced at George and saw that he was not going to explain. Her heart was jumping wildly. She coughed awkwardly and then said, "We are a couple. He is definitely with me." Loris, who was almost out of her mind with anger, stamped her feet and left with eyes full of hatred. Sigrid looked at George and whispered, "She's gone. You don't have to hold me so tightly."
"Missy, you might make Mr. Toland angry if you do that." reminded a man in a black suit as the door next to him opened. "When he's done with all this, I have lots of ways to make him shut up forever." Loris snickered. She wasn't an idiot. How could she possibly confront George to protect Edward? Wouldn't that mean that Edward did what she ordered? "I was too stupid." said the man. At this moment, Sigrid was dancing with George at the banquet. This elegant waltz was their first time to dance together but the two of them did manage very well. To anyone observing them, they were a very matched couple, pleasing to the eye. Sigrid tilted her head and looked at George. Seeing the affectionate smile on his face, she almost couldn't control but indulge herself. 'Sigrid, hang on! This man is an actor!' 'He had an impassive expression at home, but outside, he was all smiling. Obviously, he was putting on a show! You couldn't trust him! ' she warned her
Christin Andrew was startled to find out that it was as he'd thought and suddenly felt that this world was so small. He knew that George had married Rebecca's sister, but no one from the Andrew family had gone to the wedding. The main reason being the incompatibility of Rebecca and Loris's temperaments. And nobody from the Andrew family really liked Rebecca, so no one took part in the wedding. He had not expected Rebecca's sister to be so... attractive. Christin gazed into Sigrid's eyes, which seemed to be as charming as his own. He really thought that George was a lucky guy. According to his beauty standards, Rebecca was also good-looking but not sexy. He had a preference for eyes like those he was looking at now. It seemed she could seduce your soul. It was like she had twinkling stars in her eyes, which made one unable to take their own eyes off of her. Sigrid was embarrassed and annoyed at his lingering stare and was about to leave when she heard him say: "T
Sigrid carefully looked at the four costumes on the bed and compared them. The catgirl costume was made of the skimpiest material, similar to a bikini. The bunny costume showed the whole legs as if she was wearing a one-piece bathing suit. It also had a pair of black silk stockings in it. The buttons of the nurse's collar were not even sewn, so it must be a deep V collar. The most conservative costume was the maid costume. It covered a large area of her body and it also had socks. Sigrid chose to wear the maid costume first. She was conservative and would not dare wear the other costumes which consisted of so little fabric in front of a man! Because she was worried that George would suddenly open the bathroom door to scare her, she glanced over at the bathroom from time to time while changing clothes. She was ready to cover her body at the slightest movement of the bathroom door. It was difficult to get the costume on, so she started by putting on the socks. The hair
"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
