Sigrid changed her clothes after going through their plans for these few days. From the day they disembarked the cruise ship, they were going to visit a famous tourist attraction. That place had appeared in some popular short video apps before. At that time, Sigrid felt that the place must be beautiful. It was said the architectural design was impressive, even though the surrounding environment was artificial. Moreover, the design was realistic. She wanted to take some pictures there. By then, she would have to give George a hard time. George did not know that he still had to take pictures for Sigrid again. After he took a shower, he changed into a casual outfit. Then, he styled his hair in front of the mirror. When he was almost done, he said, "Okay, I'm done. Let's go." However, at this moment, Sigrid hugged him from behind and looked at him in the mirror, "You rarely dress up like this. You look so much younger." "Do I look old when I wear those formal
While they were taking pictures, a shiny black van stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. A large group of people came down and walked towards them. Sigrid originally did not notice them until she saw a familiar figure, she was stunned. The moment their eyes met, Elizabeth did not expect to meet them here either. Sigrid saw that there were staff and filming equipment. She immediately understood that they were here to shoot music videos. Sure enough, right after Elizabeth, the other three Enigma members also got off the van. "Huh? What a coincidence that we would run into each other overseas." Miley was also a little surprised. "What are you doing? Are you taking pictures?" Christin came over with Natasha. He saw George holding his phone while focusing on Sigrid. He curiously leaned over and looked at the pictures he had taken a while ago. Suddenly, he looked disgusted. "What kind of photo-taking technique is this? Why does my sister look so short
She looked at the camera on the other side. It occurred to her that she had to be photogenic, so she couldn't eat too fast later. She was worried she couldn't eat what she wanted to as there were a lot of people. She said, "All of us should eat slowly." Elizabeth replied, "Okay." After the filming began, Elizabeth and Sigrid began to gobble down the food quickly. Everyone was speechless. Didn't they all agree to eat slowly? One of them brought that up, and the other one agreed to it. However, they were the ones who ate the fastest! George could not help but feel helpless at his wife's gluttony. But she was his wife, and of course, he had to spoil her. He took out a wet tissue to wipe away the cream on her lips. "You're an adult already. Yet, you still eat like a little tabby cat." Sigrid frowned with dissatisfaction. "How could that be?" Lindsay looked a little envious and jealous when she saw this scene. She was single, and Lucas' face h
Sigrid remembered that Rachel had complained about this matter to her before. Natasha was Cyrus' younger sister. Thus, Rachel was more concerned about her affairs. She also paid more attention to anything related to Enigma. When she knew that Natasha was younger than Lindsay by two months, she was in denial. When Sigrid learned about this, she was a little surprised as well. She thought Lindsay should be the youngest member in Engima. Even if they were the same age, she might be born towards the end of the year. It was because she saw the way they got along with each other. It was obvious that the three of them treated Lindsay as their younger sister. George responded, "Sure." He answered perfunctorily. He didn't want to pay much attention to other women's business. Sigrid saw that George didn't seem to have any interest in gossip, so she didn't intend to continue anymore. She worried that she might interrupt the filming here. Thus, she asked the bab
Cedric kept mentioning that he would marry her off to an old man. However, he had been looking for a tall, rich, and handsome man for her during this period of time. For this reason, Rose decided not to argue with Cedric. She still said, "I feel that she doesn't deserve you. Forget it since you used to be not as good-looking as Lucas. Now Lucas has been disfigured, and you are better-looking than him. In terms of ability, you have been in charge of the Foster family for so many years. Lucas still has not succeeded in inheriting the Garcia family yet. However, Elizabeth still chose Lucas over you. What the hell? Cedric, did you lose in terms of cooking skills?" Rose thought about it for a long time and felt she could still suggest some ideas for Cedric. She hated Elizabeth, but if Elizabeth married her brother, he would be overjoyed. Then, this would bring her some benefits. Thus, she had to fulfill Cedric's wishes. As long as she got married as soon as possible, she would n
Cedric replied, "It's nothing special. I just came here to see you." Elizabeth frowned. She thought Cedric must have given up on her as he didn't look for her lately. Since he specially showed up in front of her on this day, there must be something special. She didn't expect that she guessed wrongly. Cedric saw her frown and wanted to find something else to talk about. He knew that she was in a hurry and definitely did not have much time to waste. "Didn't Lucas come with you?" "Does this have anything to do with you?" Elizabeth raised her eyebrows. Did Cedric think that Lucas did not accompany her because there was something wrong with their relationship? Did that mean that he would even have the slightest chance? Did she have to bring Lucas with her from now on as her accessory whenever she went out in the future? Cedric pursed his lips. "I just want to know if I still stand a chance?" "Nope." After Cedric heard that expected answer, it compl
Rose said innocently, "How could I like them? I treated them as my elder brothers for more than 20 years. Even if I know that I am not related to them by blood now, I still can't bring myself to like them! Even if I want to be with one of them, it will still feel so weird. You must not ask me to marry them! This is no different from committing incest!" Cedric sneered and thought to himself, "Even if you want to marry Jonason or Christin, they probably won't fancy you at all." He asked bitterly, "You women are really superficial. Don't you care about personality?" "Yes, we do. However, only those with an outstanding outer appearance could attract our attention." Rose saw Eddison leaning against the railing and unbuttoning a few buttons on his shirt, revealing his chest muscles in the middle. She suddenly couldn't take it anymore. "Cedric, when are we going back? Do you want to stay a few more days? You could look at Elizabeth for a few more days." D*mn it! She m
As a result, Elizabeth began to chop the ribs ferociously. After Sigrid finished washing all the ingredients, she was just about to see how Elizabeth was doing. Then, she spotted... that the ribs had almost turned into minced meat... Sigrid raised her hand weakly and said, "Director, could you give us some ribs again? This portion seems to be unusable already." Elizabeth frowned and said, "I have been preparing it for so long. Now you're telling me that you don't want to use it anymore?" "No, you chopped it into such small pieces. It really cannot be used anymore." Elizabeth looked at the ribs silently and felt a little disgusted. It was such an easy task to chop it. She had just began to chop it, and it already ended up like minced meat! Rubbish! When the second batch of ribs arrived, Sigrid stared at Elizabeth. She immediately stopped her as soon as she saw the ribs were almost done. The filming crew were too mean. They had provided the
"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
