Natalie's thought was cut off by a door knock. She opened the door, and Lucian slipped in. "Why are you here? I told you not to come over. Send someone else to come if there's something important. People are going to notice you," Natalie complained. "I know, I'm just worried. How are you holding up? Did the pain hit again today?" Lucian was concerned as usual. "Yeah, it did," Natalie answered. "Take the painkillers if it hurts. I bought a few more bottles for you," Lucian said as she took out the bottles from her pocket and put them on the bedside table. Natalie took a glance at the painkillers and turned to her, "You can't be here only to give me the painkillers." "Yes, I want to talk to you about Sir Gavin meeting Miss," Lucian sat down. "I think there's a good way to solve that problem." "How is that?" "Since you hate Savannah and Archer, then we'll start
Archer fell silent. For a while, all Lamont could hear was Archer's heavy breathing. Archer was startled by the news. He never thought that he would have a daughter, what's more, Natalie and his daughter! Then, it dawned on him that he had a child with the woman he loved the most. The realization brought him so much joy that he was frozen in place, and he couldn't even give an appropriate reaction. Archer had no problem sealing hundreds of millions worth of business deals, yet he didn't know what to do with the sudden piece of good news. "President, are you still listening?" Lamont urged in a lowered voice when he didn't get Archer's reply. "I… What is going on?" Archer's voice trembled with excitement. "Lamont, why did you hide it from me?" "It's a long story. President Saunders, now that you know who Miss Brown really is, what are you going to do?" "I don't know," Archer answered truthfully. He always t
After letting Valeria take Oreo and Mocha with her, Gavin returned to his newly bought home, humming in happiness. The bungalow had been scrubbed clean before he moved in. And upon careful inspection, Gavin felt that although it wasn't as luxurious as the Saunders manor, it was still passable. He then walked to the room specially prepared for Valeria. Its decorations were mainly in pink color, with several dolls and teddy bears arranged atop the bed. Valeria would definitely like it very much, Gavin thought to himself. Still humming, Gavin returned to the first floor only to be startled by the sight of Archer standing in the middle of the living room. He stopped short, "What are you doing here?" "How could I have not come after you kicked up such a big racket?" Archer sat down on the couch. Archer's appearance here at the bungalow alone made Gavin convinced that Archer had already found out about the news too. He shrugged, "I can't
Hayden was stunned by Paisley's bluntness, "Of course! Why did you have to ask?" "I had my people to follow Valeria after those I sent to shadow William were seriously injured. And they told me that Valeria has been going to Wolf Group Hotel for the past few days. So I'm assuming that she's now living in the Wolf Group Hotel." "But what does that have anything to do with William? Is he living in that hotel too?" Hayden asked. "I don't know where he is now living, but might I remind you that he and Marcus from the Wolf Group have a very close relationship?" Paisley prompted. "And you think William and Valeria are, in fact, still together?" Paisley nodded, "Yes, that's what I think. But, unfortunately, I have no evidence to back it up. Oh right, Valeria brought a black cat and a black dog back to Wolf Group after work this evening. They both belong to Sir Gavin." "What?" Hayden raise
William felt relieved that Valeria had been willing to send the two rivals who were vying for her love away. So, he left Valeria to play with Oreo and Mocha while he went back to the study room and resumed his work. As he was handling some company business, William received a call from the person he had dispatched to keep an eye on Raymond. The person reported, "Sir Raymond and Ms. Clark is at a holiday resort. They've booked the entire place, so the resort workers are vacating the place for them right now." William clicked his tongue. Apparently, when Raymond said that he wanted a break, he meant taking a break at a holiday resort. It seemed like Raymond had gone back to his usual happy self even though his feelings were so badly bruised. However, William thought Abbie wasn't interested in Raymond. So, what was she trying to get at, booking such a large-scale venue with Raymond? William instructed the man, "Let him do what he wants. All you
Elizabeth had been observing Savannah and Charles. Noticing that they had gone behind the closed door, she made them tea and used it as an excuse to enter the room. Before she knocked, she stood at the door and listened to what they were talking about. And it seemed like they were having a serious discussion about killing Valeria. Elizabeth heard Charles telling Savannah about his vicious plan. "Get a few guys and dress them up to be waiters in the resort, and they can improvise on how to kill Valeria once they're in there. Those young rich kids attending the party probably won't and do anything to help her. Heck, they probably wouldn't even expect those waiters to launch an attack! That would be easier for our men to leave after they killed her." "Okay, let's do that," Savannah agreed. "But Charles, he's also inside with Valeria. We must do something to him too. Maybe don't kill him, just hurt him enough so that he can still do things f
Natalie couldn't help but think of her son when looking at Raymond, who looked so much like Archer. Her son would probably be a handsome young man around that age, too, if he was still alive. It was all because of Savannah he didn't survive. She killed him. Natalie glared at Raymond, who was right in front of her eyes. The people Lucian arranged would kill him that night, and Savannah would suffer the same heartache Natalie had experienced. Natalie sneered and turned away from the window while Raymond and Andrew continued walking towards the small building. Upon seeing Raymond and Andrew, a middle-aged man walked out to politely greet them. "Why is this small building built here separately?" Raymond asked. "This was originally built for the staff. But later, our boss built another staff dormitory, and he renovated this place for guests," the man replied. "Is there anyone staying inside right now?" Raymond asked. &q
William frowned after reading Andrew's message. It was rare to see someone wrapped up tightly in the room on a hot day. It was obvious that there was something wrong with her. He replied immediately, "I got it. I'll send someone to keep an eye on her." After seeing William's reply, Andrew was relieved enough to welcome Abbie and Valeria accompanied by Raymond. As soon as Abbie and Valeria got out of the car, the staff led them to the place. Andrew greeted Valeria and Abbie with a smile when he saw them coming and said, "Auntie Valeria, Abbie, nice to meet y'all!" Valeria chuckled and said, "You don't have to address me so formally. Just call me by my name." Raymond laughed and replied, "Well, I won't call you my aunt. You are younger than me, so it's weird to address you so formally." "Look at your behavior. We should treat elders with respect. Don't you know?" Andrew glared at Raymond. Raymond did not take it seriously. He laughed happily and
