Rose felt so wronged that she wanted to cry after Elizabeth left. She looked at Cedric and cried, "Cedric! Why are you watching as she threatened me! Don't you know how to help me?" Cedric looked solemn, "You're the one who provoked her first." "Are you still my brother?" "Yes, but I am no match for her," If he could have defeated her, he would have already forced her to be together with him. Otherwise, why would he still be single until now? Rose was so furious that she couldn't say anything. She was thinking about Cedric, then Jonason and Christin. In all fairness, Cedric was definitely not as nice to her as her brothers in the Andrew family. After all, Jonason and Christin had watched her grow up in the Andrew family. They had always doted on her. The kinship between her and the two brothers was definitely not something that she and Cedric had. When it came to protecting their younger sister, Cedric wasn't as good as Jonason and Chris
"It's hot in here," Elizabeth moved the phone a little higher, so he couldn't see her after she took off her clothes. She said, "If they don't eat well, you should spank them. There is no need to spoil the boys. Just hit them if they are not well-behaved. They will behave well after getting hit a few more times." Apparently, Jonason and Christin were also brought up like this when they were children. Lucas replied, "Oh, okay. Why don't you put on your clothes?" Wasn't this sexy talk over the phone since she wasn't wearing anything? He felt so obscene. He also kept thinking about whether she could move her phone slightly lower and could no longer concentrate on talking to her. Elizabeth raised her eyebrows and retorted, "Why should I listen to you?" "Fine, as long as you're happy," Lucas knew her and her aggressive temper the best. He thought about it and advised her, "It's not safe out there. You must be more careful when you are living alone. I know that
Lucas looked at Elizabeth. Just when he was about to speak, he realized that she had already taken off her clothes and was only wearing her underwear... He stammered in slight panic, "You... Why did you take off your clothes?" "To change," Elizabeth took her clothes out of the suitcase, placed them on the bed, and put them on with her back facing him. Lucas was speechless. It wasn't as if she was open-minded, for she had her back faced towards him all this while. At the same time, it wasn't as if she was conservative either since she was literally standing naked in front of him. Oh fine, he was aware that this was her way of seducing him. Yet, she was always able to succeed in her attempts to seduce him. It must be because his self-control was too poor! "Lizzy, I want to discuss something with you," Lucas said after thinking about it for a while. "What's the matter?" Elizabeth asked. "What is the relationship between us now?
"Alright." Jonason felt like he was hiring child labor when they called him that. It was a little like abusing children. However, he felt so happy when he remembered they were addressing Miley like she was his wife. Even if he was not married yet, he wanted to enjoy being addressed as that to his heart's content first! Tianna immediately frowned and said, "What is Young Master Miller? What is Madam Miley? Eleven, this is Uncle Jonason and Aunt Miley." Eleven blushed, "I can't call them that." "You can call me that." Miley hurriedly said, "You'd better follow Tianna, or else we'll feel like we're abusing children." Eleven nodded in understanding. She was thinking of the same thing as Miley. Did she have to follow how Tianna called Christin and Natasha? Before Eleven had the time to ask questions, the filming was about to begin. Miley put Tianna down and said, "We are going to begin working. Both of you quickly go to where Tianna's mom is. Don't
Sigrid picked Tianna up and said, "All four of you will shower together today." Tianna was a little shy, "But Mommy, the teacher in school said that boys and girls shouldn't shower together." "Oreo is still young. Don't worry about it," Sigrid said. Oreo was not even a year old yet. What was wrong if the four of them took a shower together? After all, they were still little children. Tianna pondered and agreed too. She used to take a shower together with her younger siblings anyway. Now, Eleven had joined them too. Sigrid quickly helped the four children to take a shower and put on their clothes with the babysitter's help. After that, she saw her son sitting on the bed and leaning against the pillow like a big boss. He looked at Tianna with no expression. His stoic features made her wonder if that was how George looked like when he was young. Oreo acted like he was an adult trapped inside a toddler's body. Sigrid gulped as she couldn't help but
Elizabeth felt that Lucas was such a pushover when she saw how he eager he was. No wonder his elder siblings in the Garcia family bullied him! The next morning, George, Sigrid, and their children returned to their country. The plane landed at the airport in City B. Rachel had been pregnant for a few months already. Even though Sigrid expected that her belly would be quite big, she was still a little surprised to see how much weight she had gained upon arriving at Rachel and Cyrus' house. "Are you having twins?" Sigrid asked in surprise. Her stomach didn't seem to be much smaller than hers when she was pregnant with Oreo and Candy. "No, the doctor said there is only one baby. I probably eat a little too much." As she stroked her cheeks, Rachel lamented, "Sigrid, I feel so stressed. Since I got pregnant, I accepted an endorsement job for a supplement for mothers who are expecting." "Guess what? The TV and computer screens nowadays are all in landscape mo
Although Sigrid pitied her because of those indecent videos, she really wasn't happy seeing her make a fortune and become rich. "I'll ask someone to investigate it," George said. Sigrid got salty and asked from beside him, "Be honest. Did you ask someone to secretly let her out of her jail ahead of schedule behind my back because you feel sorry for her going to jail?" George stopped typing and looked at her with hostility. "If you continue to disgust me, don't you even think of getting out of bed tomorrow." Sigrid curled her lips aggrievedly. He used this method to threaten her every time, and she happened to be terrified of this the most! Sigrid decided she would not be suspicious of him again. She would not doubt him anymore, not over some woman whom he obviously didn't like. If he really liked Rebecca, he would have been with her during those few years back then. He wouldn't have to wait until this moment. After George finished typing, she f
Sigrid showed Rachel her phone screen and said, "Look, she hasn't started filming for the variety show yet, and another series has already announced that she is going to be third female lead actress." Rachel took her phone over quickly to take a glimpse. Then, she hesitated. "I have actually read this book before. It's so popular. I heard the amount of money invested to produce the television series is quite high too. Although the third female lead is not a good role, there should be many people fighting for this role. If she can act well, then she will probably be popular." "She only needs to be herself for this role. I feel she doesn't even need to act at all," Sigrid said indecisively. Rachel felt that what she said made sense. "After hearing what you said, I suddenly would like to know who is backing her. It used to be your husband. Who could it be this time?" Sigrid was a little unhappy. "As long as it isn't my husband this time. Everything will be fine if
"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
