"Can you go back to the room you were going to sleep in?" Sigrid said awkwardly. "I'm not used to sleeping with others." "From today on, start getting used to it." Sigrid felt that this man was just too overbearing. He had made up his mind and did not ask for her opinion. She lay close to the edge of the bed, not daring to get closer to the man who was lying only a meter away from her. In the next few minutes, he seemed to stop reading. He put the book on his bedside table, turned off the lights and made ready to sleep. Just as Sigrid was thinking that she might not be able to get to sleep for a long time tonight, a strong arm reached out and wrapped around her slender waist. Her body trembled slightly, and all her attention seemed to be focused on her waist. The man behind her seemed not to notice her discomfort and actually moved closer to her. Sigrid's back was pressed against his hot chest. It was the first time for her to be hugged by a ma
Just as Sigrid was feeling dissatisfied, a big hand covered her fist as if to comfort her. His palm was warm, as if it could calm her troubled heart. Half an hour later, the car stopped at the gate of the Toland family's old house. When the two of them entered they saw that in the spacious living room that George's parents had been sitting there waiting. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Toland looked very pleased. Obviously, because of yesterday's change of bride, they were not very happy. They must have known why there had been a change of bride before the wedding. Sigrid took a deep breath and was ready to be scolded, but she remained silent. After all, it was Rebecca who had cuckolded George before the wedding and so the responsibility fell on the Vincent family. If it was not handled well, one could not imagine the future of the Vincent family. Sigrid did not dare to sit down. After George acknowledged his parents, Sigrid said in a low voice, "Hello uncle and aunt
Sigrid was a little confused when she heard this. "What did my sister post on Facebook?" "You don't know?" George's father, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Have a look at it later." After Mrs. Toland finished her lecture, Sigrid quickly took out her mobile phone and clicked into Rebecca's Facebook. When she saw the content of the first blog on Facebook, she was completely stunned. Maybe because there were a lot of reporters at the wedding last night, the news had already been in the headlines after the photo revealed that the bride was not Rebecca. Rebecca's Facebook seemed to have received private messages from many fans who were puzzled, and she posted a blog to reply to those fans. She thanked her fans for their concerns about her and then explained that she and George had a good relationship, but that some time ago they had broken up, so it was her sister that had married into the Toland family. Although it was not stated clearl
It was amazing that a person could be so shameless. "Well, after lunch." After lunch at the Toland family's old house, they took their leave. They were a long way from the Vincent family home, and it took them more than an hour to get there. Sigrid turned to look at George. "I'll go in alone. You wait for me here." Before George could speak, Sigrid opened the car door and got out. Then she trotted up to the house and rang the doorbell. Last night when she had taken Rebecca's place at the wedding, she had brought only her mobile phone and a charger with her. She'd even forgotten her house keys. After ringing the doorbell twice, a house servant came to open the door. Standing in the doorway, she could see Rebecca sitting on the sofa. Rebecca had specifically said to her agent that she was taking some time off to get married, so she had nothing to do these days. Rebecca was okay with the fact that the bride had been changed, but she was not
"After Dad and your mother divorced, Dad took half a year to woo my mother!" Sigrid clenched her fists and said, "You'd better make sure that my mother's ashes are fine, otherwise I'll kill you!" "You? How can you kill me?" Rebecca sneered. "I'm George's wife now!" Sigrid replied. Rebecca was so angry that her face turned livid. "What's so great about that? I'm sure he didn't touch you last night!" Sigrid snorted, "I'm very sorry to tell you, you're wrong. He not only touched me last night, but he liked it when I called him 'brother-in-law' in bed! He said it was very romantic! I told him that if he hadn't ignored you before, you wouldn't have cheated on him. Do you know what he replied? He said looking at you... He had no appetite at all!" Rebecca was so angry that her face turned red. "You... you liar!" "Humph! You can believe it or not!" After Sigrid finished her words, she turned angrily, hoping to talk with George about what to do next. Bu
At the supermarket near the luxury villa complex on the way back to the mansion... There is a wide assortment of goods... As soon as Sigrid entered, she noticed that the prices of the goods here were much higher than at other supermarkets. Even the rice on the first floor was 15 dollars per kilogram? "What kind of rice is this? It's so expensive!" After seeing that it cost three dollars for one egg, Sigrid felt that poverty had limited her imagination. She was thinking to open a supermarket in the same area, as she was sure to make money! "Brother-in-law, why did you stop here to buy daily necessities? I believe the goods here are way more expensive than in ordinary supermarkets. It seems like they set whatever prices they want on the products, don't they?" Sigrid whispered, afraid to be heard by the staff. "It's convenient, quiet," said George. Sigrid also felt that this place was indeed close to the mansion, and it was also quiet. After all, there
Sigrid looked in the direction of the voice and confirmed that the woman in the famous brand dress was talking to her. She immediately took her hand off the shopping cart. "Sorry, I didn't know." "Humph! You didn't know what! You just want to attract the attention of my man here. How shameless!" The woman grabbed the shopping cart. The man beside her, with a beer belly, looked Sigrid up and down lasciviously. "Young lady, how much do you charge per month?" "Disgusting! You have me!" the woman shouted at him. "Isn't that enough for you? Do you want another one?" The woman was very unhappy and pulled the man away. The way she looked at Sigrid became more and more unfriendly. "You'd better go quickly unless you want to end up as someone's mistress at such a young age. Didn't your mother teach you any self-respect? You're so ill-bred!" Sigrid didn't want to continue to talk nonsense with this woman, but when the woman started swearing at her and then brought her dea
The woman's expression suddenly stiffened. The next second, Sigrid took George's hand and left quickly, so as not to waste time here. George saw an empty cart not far away, so he pushed it over. The two of them went back to the shelf where the condom boxes were and he put one of each in the cart. Sigrid was stunned. "Why are you taking so many?" You want to blow up air balloons or what? George paused and said, "Let's try all of them." "But... it seems there are different dimensions. I see that you took different sizes," Sigrid said while blushing. She knew in her heart that it was impossible for her to ask George not to buy them. Anyway, she would say that she had no need for them. Her brother-in-law paid so much attention to health, and he knew that overindulgence in s*x was not good for health. Most likely, she hoped, these things would never be used! It was only then that George noticed the label on the box. He kept the largest size and put
"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
