The smile on Larry's face instantly froze, but he still forced a smile. "Lucas, what are you talking about? How could I do such a thing? Did you misunderstand something?" "There's no misunderstanding. I know it very clearly." Although Lucas couldn't recall any memories, he indeed knew who did all that to him. After all, when he took over the inheritance from his father, he told him about that matter. His father was old. Although he had many children, he didn't want to deal with his son personally, so he asked Lucas to solve that problem by himself as long as Lucas didn't kill Larry. Of course, Lucas would not kill Larry, but he would not give him a single penny. Not only that, but he would also destroy his small company and leave him with no one to rely on for the rest of his life. For those who had almost killed him, he should not be merciful. It was the biggest punishment for them to let them live without money and power. When Lucas came out of the Garci
When Lucas came in, he saw Sugar Bun and Biscuit muttering about what they wanted to eat. Elizabeth sat at one side and answered perfunctorily, "Sure." Children were easily pleased. When they heard their mother say "sure", they smiled contentedly as if they had already gotten it. When they saw Lucas coming over, both Sugar Bun and Biscuit's eyes lit up, and they headed towards him in their small, thick legs. "Dad, let's eat," Biscuit spoke in an aggrieved tone. Lucas quickly went up to hold each of them and asked them to sit down. The two little guys couldn't walk steadily yet, and they would fall down after a few steps. After Lucas asked them to sit down, he said, "I'll cook for you later." After that, he pulled Elizabeth to one side and said, "My work is going well over there. Let's get married?" Hearing what he had said, Elizabeth lifted her eyebrows and said, "Your plan is going smoothly, what does it have to do with our marriage?" Lu
Rose was the first to be unhappy when she heard that Elizabeth and Lucas were getting married. Why could Elizabeth marry the man she liked when she had to marry an ugly man? Especially when Lucas' face seemed to have been restored a little. The scars on his face were fading. Looking from a distance, he was not much different from his former appearance. Only at a close look could one see the scars on his face. His skin would be blurred out under beauty filters. The photos that were taken by fans when he was with Elizabeth several times showed that he was still a handsome man from a distance. That made her very uncomfortable! Cedric seemed to be worried that Rose would feel the unfairness in her heart and might not want to get married, so he let Rose and her fiancée obtain the marriage certificate first while the wedding would be held late. Therefore, on that day, Rose had officially become a married woman. She felt all sorts of uncomfortableness in he
Hearing that, Rose immediately let out a sigh of relief, and then went back to her room to have a good rest. Cedric stared at the person in the photo and was lost in thought for a long time. Even though she only looked somewhat similar to Elizabeth, he felt that it was enough. He pressed the number on the phone and dialed the number to inform the other party that he had agreed to go on a blind date. Recently, Simon had been thinking about whether he should go to visit Lindsay's parents. He wanted their relationship to advance, but he was also worried that Lindsay's parents would oppose their relationship. Thinking of it, although he was excellent in all aspects, he still had a child by his side. Lindsay, on the other hand, was still very young. He was really worried that her parents would be against their relationship. After thinking about it, again and again, Simon decided to tell Lindsay about it and discuss with her how to meet her parents in the future
Hearing that, Lindsay suddenly felt hopeful and agreed with a smile. Seeing her smiling, Simon guessed that her mother should have compromised with their relationship for the time being. He heaved a sigh of relief. Two days later, Lindsay brought Simon and Cleveland back to meet her parents. The process was relatively smooth. Although it was a little awkward at the start, the atmosphere turned better after Cleveland eased the situation. At first, Gloria felt slightly uneasy, but seeing that Cleveland was obedient and liked Lindsay very much, she was relieved to know that her daughter wouldn't have a hard time being his stepmother. Sigrid had never expected that several single ladies in the beginner class would fall in love in no time and get ready to get married. Each time they were in class, all of them would show off their affection together instead of the initial few of them. It felt as if they were all mocking and complaining about their boyfriends and husba
George nodded in agreement. At that moment, both of them had completely neglected Cleveland. That was their son's rival in love. They couldn't let him accompany Tianna! As a result, two-year-old Oreo and Candy were sent to the youngest beginner class and became the youngest children in the class. The two toddlers came to school with their mother on the first day so that they could attend school with their sisters in the future. Looking at the brothers and sisters who were a little taller than them around the classroom, Oreo and Candy glanced at each other and found that they were the weakest there, so they decided to stick together! They didn't want to be bullied! On the first day of class, the two kids found that the lesson content was very simple. Their sister had already taught them all of it at home, so they were not interested. After class on the first day when they went back with Tianna and Eleven, Candy sat in the car and said, "Tianna, class
"Mom, we already know what the teacher was talking about," Oreo explained. "Candy and I felt so bored when we were listening, so we chatted." Sigrid reached out her hand and knocked on both of the children's foreheads gently. "You two can't talk all the time even if you already understand the content of the lesson. Do you know what it means to respect the teacher? It's very rude of you two to chat with each other when the teacher is teaching!" The two children nodded in grievance and promised in unison, "It won't happen again." "Good. I chose the seats in the middle especially for you two today. When you two chatted, not only did you not respect the teacher, but you also disturb other children's learning. You can't do this in the future," Sigrid said seriously. Seeing that they had understood their mistakes, she took them in to have dinner. In the following days, the class teacher of the beginner class called to inform that Oreo and Candy behaved well in class and pai
"I have two more things to be troubled of. What's there to be happy about?" Kevin's face was expressionless, and his mouth was full of distaste. But after he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Why are we considered troublesome?" Tianna frowned and said discontentedly, "You don't know how many people comment on us being smart!" "If you're so smart, why are you only skipping grades now?" Kevin lifted his eyebrows. Tianna and Candy's faces instantly flushed red with embarrassment. Tianna really had no talent in martial arts. Candy was simply just lazy! Kevin said, "Let's go home." The two sisters followed behind Kevin, talking and laughing along the way. Kevin slowed down in front of them as he was afraid that they couldn't keep up. Since they were going to be advanced to the senior class the next day, George and Sigrid told the servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner for the two children to celebrate. "Wow! So much de
"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
