"Please don't tell my boss about my phone call!" The other party hung up the phone. Kourtney came out of the bathroom and Jeff said, "A gentleman named Andy has just approached you." Kourtney looked a little upset and said with slight anger, "Please stay away from my phone in the future! This is my privacy." "Okay, honey!" Jeff said with a smile. Little did Kourtney know at this point that she was once again the talk of the town during the party chat. Shortly after, Kourtney's cell phone rang again. The caller was Brittany. When she picked up the phone, she heard Brittany smiling and saying, "Looks like some people are enjoying a sweet romance. Do you want me to pick you up?" "No, I'll be back later," Kourtney said "It seems that you have a good male stripper. With someone that good, you don't want to share it with me for a bit, really not enough friends ah" Brittany then asked, "So... Are you feeling better??" It was then that Kourtney realized that she wasn't even sick
Because Kourtney missed yesterday's first day of school, Grandpa rearranged the admissions process for her. Mr. Johnson will take her to see the classroom teacher.Inside the teacher's office."Miss Fiona, this is the new transfer student Kourtney Elijah. Old Mr. Elijah said she will go to your class, please help arrange it."Fiona looked up at them, and although her eyes were gentle, she turned her head for a moment to show a hint of disgust."Hi, Fiona." Although it was just a greeting, Kourtney could already tell that this new teacher didn't seem to like herself.Fiona said kindly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson, we have enough students in our class. As much as I like Kourtney, I have limited energy and cannot take care of so many students. Would you consider another teacher?"Fiona and Cassie have been friends for many years. She had heard about Miss Kourtney for a long time and had heard many stories about her. She didn't want to take her in at all. Furthermore, she'd be a troubled girl.
Everything happened so suddenly. "Kourtney, why did you accept this unfair bet? I mean, just in case, you lose...," Nate said, "I can help you in the course if you need it." "That won't be necessary." Kourtney interrupted him directly. At this point, Nate saw confidence and determination in Kourtney's eyes, which made her even more attractive in Nate's eyes, and he fell deeply in love. Benjamin hated Kourtney because she didn't accept his love. He regretted his impulse to listen to Bella's nonsense. When he watched Kourtney walk into the classroom now, he was deeply attracted to Kourtney. This girl, once his fiancée, he did not cherish in the slightest but refused the marriage, he regretted so much. At the same time, he also hated himself, hated why he just said that, he did not want to bet with her, and did not want her to leave. But, impulse was the devil, impulse made him push Kourtney away from him step by step... At that moment, Bella came up to Benjamin and said, "Don't worr
After eating, the two took a walk along Fifth Avenue. "I've always had a question. So that man named Andy, why did he call you his boss? You're his boss?" Thinking of certain identities she was not comfortable disclosing and what Brittany had told her last time, she answered briefly, "Because he was sent by my grandfather to protect me" "A bodyguard?" "And a butler." At that moment, Jeff's phone rang. "Excuse me for taking a call, there are just too many people who want to book me." "Looks like you're popular," Kourtney banter said. He walked quickly to a quiet building, lowered his voice, and spoke to the other person on the phone about something. "I have to go now." He hung up the phone and walked toward her with a smile. "I'll take you home first." "Some noblewoman with more money than me came to see you?" Kourtney asked. "Now, in my eyes, I serve exclusively with you alone. My friend has a big problem, I'll tell you about it another time." He drove her back to Elijah's d
Cassie did not expect that he had long seen through all her little tricks. This time, old Mr. Elijah asked her directly what she wanted, and she no longer hid her thoughts. "Dad, I know you have some friendship with Neil, the manager of the famous pianist Mr. Williams, and I want to see if there is any chance that Bella can go to study with Williams." Cassie had always tried to fit her into the circles of high society. She had raised her daughter according to the standards of a princess. Unfortunately, her daughter was still too young to handle her emotions well. Unlike her, she could easily hide her true thoughts. The good thing was that Bella played the piano well, and her grandfather was aware of this. As a mother, there was not too much to require. Although she now disliked this daughter-in-law of her more and more, Bella was still their family's child after all. "Okay, I'll try a little to contact Mr. Williams' agent." Cassie smiled and said, "Thank you, Daddy. Then I will ask
The next morning, school. Bella thought Kourtney must be crazy to know the results of her last exam today. She was still so calm, she had gone off to play somewhere early in the morning, and it was almost time for class before she ran in wearing a sweatshirt. "The results will be out today, are you scared now?" She had just sat down when she heard Bella say from beside her. The bell rang for class. The instructor walked into the classroom and announced the results of the last exam. Kourtney did get three A's and one B in all four subjects, which took everyone by surprise. Everyone thought she must have failed the test. In their minds, she was supposed to be a brainless beauty, how did she do it? "How could she? Didn't she not go to school much at all properly?" "Wow, a genius girl, not only is she pretty, but her grades are so great too." "I told you, this girl has always been cool. I'm in love with her right now, I want to pursue her now." Nate didn't expect his girl to be so
Johnny had just set up a new investment company a few years ago. Originally he was confident in his investments, but first, some damn people made the stupid decision to boycott China, and then he caught the New Crown epidemic. Several of his projects abroad have now lost serious money, and he's in an economic crisis. Now he was faced with a situation where if he discontinued his investments, then all the money he had spent before would have been wasted. That night, Cassie and Johnny were lying in bed, Johnny was sleepless, and he was worried about his projects. If this keeps up, his company will be closed in a year at most. And his big investment would turn into a bubble. He had to find new money to get the few projects that still had hope up and running. "Johnny, your company's funding problem, is it solved?" Speaking of which, Johnny Elijah said glumly, "No. I've decided with my partners today to cut a few projects that aren't doing so well at the moment. However, there are a fe
Johnny came to pick up Kourtney from school early in the afternoon after school. Kourtney was also his daughter, so how could he not care at all? It's just that he didn't know how to face her. Plus, he now had a new family, a wife, and a daughter. He couldn't stay stuck in the past. Since it was still early, father and daughter had a rare chance to watch a movie together. He also bought beautiful clothes for her. This daughter of his should be well-dressed, she would bring him good luck. That evening. Masa restaurant. When they walked into the restaurant, the waiter said that Mr. Craig had already booked a seat. It was a good Japanese restaurant and had been recommended in a magazine. When they saw them, Mr. Craig gave Johnny a warm hug, it was the first time she met him. Her father and he, on the other hand, weren't exactly good friends, they had only met a few times. "I was hoping to find a chance to visit Mr. Craig myself," Johnny said politely. "I have a nice place in Miami's

One evening, while Kourtney was conducting experiments in the laboratory, she suddenly received a call from Jeff."Kourtney, I have some good news!" Jeff's voice was filled with excitement."What good news?" Kourtney put down the test tube and asked eagerly."Grandfather's old friend has provided new leads that might reveal the true leader of the ANN organization. We're going to meet him now, would you like to come along?" Jeff invited.Without hesitation, Kourtney joined Jeff and headed to the location where the grandfather's old friend was. It was a remote cabin, and the old friend's name was Joseph, someone who had been a close friend of the grandfather many years ago."Everyone, I've found some leads that might help you," Joseph said.He activated an old projector, displaying some video footage. The footage showed a masked individual, the leader of the ANN organization. For some reason, everyone felt the person looked familiar, but they couldn't quite pinpoint who it was."I had s
Meanwhile, the grandfather's old friend provided him with new leads.After a difficult search, the grandfather finally located a former maid who had served Kourtney's mother. She was the sole living witness and one of Abigail's closest friends.Kourtney's mother was named Abigail and was a child of the prominent Carnegie family, known for their wealth and influence.Twenty years ago, Abigail fell in love with a poor researcher. However, this love was vehemently opposed by Mr. Carnegie, a powerful figure with immense wealth and influence. He forbade his daughter from associating with someone of lower social standing. He used every means to separate them.Yet, Abigail remained steadfast in her love. Unbeknownst to Mr. Carnegie, she was already pregnant and chose to stay with the researcher. Faced with Mr. Carnegie's threats and pressure, she was determined to protect the child she was carrying. If her father had known about the child, he might not have let her keep it.Fate, however, ha
Kourtney was on the verge of starting her college life, but she had been preoccupied with her research and hadn't properly prepared, considering she was about to move to a new city.One day, an unexpected visitor arrived at her research facility – her father, Johnny. Over the years, their father-daughter relationship had been tense, but this time, Johnny hoped to mend their bond.Johnny said, "Kourtney, I know I've made many mistakes during your upbringing. I missed out on a lot of time with you, and I deeply regret that. I genuinely want to make amends and rebuild our father-daughter relationship."Kourtney's emotions were in turmoil, and her father's appearance left her conflicted. She wanted a complete family and wanted to reconnect with her father, but at the same time, the pain from the past made forgiveness difficult."Johnny, while I also want to fully let go of the past, the years of difficult growth have left their mark. It's not something I can achieve overnight," Kourtney s
Jeff received a call from Ethan early in the morning. His grandfather had gone missing!Upon hearing the news, Jeff's heart tightened. Thinking about the email Kourtney received, he had a bad feeling. He immediately asked Ethan to investigate and thoroughly examine all the traces his grandfather left behind.Ethan returned late with the investigation results and reported to Jeff, "Based on our investigation, it seems that Grandfather left home on his own last night and hasn't returned since. His phone has been turned off, and we can't reach him."Jeff grew even more worried. He knew his grandfather was always cautious and considerate, never acting recklessly.The others were equally concerned upon hearing the news. They gathered at the grandfather's house and began searching for clues. In the study, Kourtney accidentally stumbled upon an unsent letter. Upon opening it, they realized it was a letter from the grandfather to Jeff."Dear Jeff," the letter read, "If you're reading this, it
Back in New York, Kourtney eagerly began to study the information she had copied from the ANN organization. She spent a lot of time and effort before finally opening the files on the flash drive. When the information was presented to her, she was shocked to find that the information on the flash drive, the manuscript given to her by her grandfather, and the information she had taken from the ANN organization were all of her mother's lab research from her lifetime.It turns out that the people who were after her mother in the first place were the ANN organization!Kourtney told everyone about this discovery, and everyone was shocked, not realizing that the ANN organization had such a deep connection to Kourtney's mother and that they had planned such a big conspiracy.
Harrison escaped, thinking he'd made a clean getaway, unaware he'd walked into another, bigger trap: Jeff deliberately let him go, then sent someone to track his movements. Just when Harrison thought he was completely free of his pursuers, he was surrounded by a group of men in black."You think you can get away with this?" The person leading the group was Ethan, Jeff's assistant, who sneered.Harrison's heart fluttered as he realized he had walked into a trap, but it was too late. He struggled to escape, but the men in black were so powerful they didn't give him a chance.Ethan motioned for his bodyguards to control him, then stepped forward and removed his mask, revealing a familiar face. Everyone froze, they didn't expect this Harrison to be Colin!"What are you doing here?" Ethan asked suspiciously.Colin looked at him indifferently, Ethan suddenly understood, "So you are this Harrison, the accomplice of the ANN organization?"Ethan's face was ugly, he didn't think that Colin was
Kourtney opened her eyes to find herself tied up in a small, damp room. The smell of rust and dampness filled the room, and there were strange symbols on the walls."Finally awake." A cold voice came from the corner of the room and Kourtney looked up to see a mercenary in black camouflage staring at her indifferently."What the hell do you want?" Kourtney tried to remain calm, "I don't have what you want."The mercenary sneered, "We already have enough information, all we want is your scientific data and Compound H's research data. Hand them over and maybe we can spare your life."Kourtney sneered, "I'm sorry, I didn't know."The mercenary said viciously, "A beauty like you, don't force me to use bad tactics!"Just then, the door to the room opened. A tall, imposing man entered, a shining dagger in his hand."Let me." The man approached Kourtney with a smug smile, "Your boyfriend's not here, let's see who else can save you."Kourtney's mind was racing, she knew the situation was getti
High school was over. Kourtney got her wish and entered the Yale School of Medicine. Bella entered the Yale School of the Arts.On this day, Jeff invited everyone to the family wine cellar to celebrate Kourtney getting her wish, and the Howard family's wine collection amazed everyone. Everyone discusses all the gossip that has been going on lately."Did you hear that the Edward family business is on the verge of bankruptcy due to over-expansion and the economic crisis, and they have a huge amount of debt? Bella, who wants to marry into a rich family as a rich wife, can't accept this fact and wants to break off her engagement to the Edward family," Cathy said. Cathy said."How did the Edwards suddenly go bankrupt?" Kourtney asked curiously.Cathy looked at Jeff who was sitting next to Kourtney and didn't say anything.She turned her head to Jeff, "Did you do this?"Brittany eavesdropped from the sidelines, "Isn't it wonderful that her family went bankrupt?"Ryan laughed next to him, "R
