The old Howard family mansion.
When Nate arrived at the old mansion, he ran straight into the arms of the middle-aged woman in the living room.
"Grandma!"
Mrs. Howard smiled and touched the short hair on the top of the boy's head in her arms.
"This is Nate, why didn't you say hello to Grandma when you came home?"
"I wanted to surprise you, Grandma!"
<Howard's house. Bella had called Johnny in the afternoon when school was out. She learned that Johnny had gone to Kourtney and Jeff's for Mom's sake. She heard that Jeff turned out to be Ethan's assistant, the assistant to the president of the Howard Group. Johnny went to them this time to ask Jeff to call Mr. Howard so that their mother could be released on bail as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Kourtney's boyfriend turned out to be the assistant to the president of the Howard Group. Although he was from Howard Group, he was just an assistant, what future could he have? As long as Mom can be released on bail, Dad can find a way to get her out of jail. Today, Benjamin was very cold to her the whole day. Besides, Benjamin had heard from somewhere that Mr. Williams, whom Cassie had invited to the house yesterday, was an impostor. She always suspected that it was Monica who got out, but Monica denied it. After the driver took her to Elijah's house, she sat in the living room wait
Nate entered the classroom without Kourtney, surrounded by the rest of the class. His seat was still empty so he sat down.Kourtney didn't look at him from the moment he walked in the door until he sat down.But he couldn't stop thinking about Bella's face outside the hallway."Kourtney, Bella, what's going on?"Kourtney looked at him."Probably upset about her mom.""Bella's mom is in jail and you still hate her?""That's right."Nate had nothing to say. The police
At this point, Jeff, who had just received Kourtney, sneezed twice in a row and Kourtney frowned."You got a cold?"Jeff's smiling eyes fixed on her."Are you worried about me?"Kourtney held baby Lucky in her arms with a blank expression, shielding baby Lucky's face with her hand as if to prevent germs, and said, "I was afraid you were going to pass the cold germs to Lucky!"Jeff glanced at Lucky, who was sitting comfortably in Kourtney's arms.Oh, his heart was aching for a pen again.Lucky's status in Kourtney's heart has
Jeff and Kourtney were ordering food at the restaurant when Nate called. After the waiter left, Kourtney went to the restroom.Jeff glanced at the number on his phone and impatiently answered the call."What's up?""Uncle!" Nate called flatteringly."Speak!" Jeff scowled coldly.Nate's voice paused, and his voice was embarrassing: "By this time, Uncle, have you eaten?"
The next morning, the news that Benjamin and Bella had spent the night together in a hotel made the headlines. Immediately following this news, the Elijah Group and the Brown Group made simultaneous announcements that Benjamin and Bella were engaged.Upon arriving at school, Nate was very surprised to hear the news."What did you say? Bella is with my classmate Benjamin?"The classmate looked at him strangely: "They're together and it's all over the news. Besides, both of them have already made announcements, so can there be fakes?"
At that moment, in the assembly room of New York High School. The principal and senior staff of New York High School are nervously watching Jeff, who is standing by the window of the assembly room.Behind Jeff is Ethan.People in New York only know that New York High School is the best high school in New York with a history of one hundred years. What most people don't know is that New York High School is also one of the properties of the Howard Group.As a member of the Howard Group, Jeff is also the boss of New York High School behind the scenes. The boss came to the school with his assistant,
Kourtney turned to look at the person behind him. She knew this person, a classmate of Fiona's.Kourtney looked at the glove in his hand, then at the tweezers in his hand, then at the reagent bottles on the floor and felt the need to explain."If you're talking about the reagent bottles on the floor, I didn't knock them over. They were there when I came in, and I'm just picking them up now."This is a person who doesn't like to be misunderstood."Don't quibble, there's no one else here, just you,
Inside the lab, someone had already called the defense section.Seeing that the people from the defense section were about to come over, the chemistry teacher was anxious."Teacher Fiona, this matter, I suggest, wait until we find evidence. If we directly send the student over now, her reputation will be ruined."Fiona looked at Kourtney coldly.Seeing Kourtney's still calm face, she became even more irritated inside.What did Kourtney's ruined reputat
Two years later.Jeff and Kourtney's wedding was held at Grandpa's estate, which was decorated with flowers and beautifully decorated. All the friends and relatives of the three big families gathered to witness this happy moment.Kourtney wore a pure white wedding gown and looked like a fairy. Her beauty and confidence mesmerized everyone. Jeff, on the other hand, wore an elegant suit and was handsome. As they held hands and walked onto the main stage of the wedding, applause, and blessings were heard.Grandpa stood as the officiant to marry the couple. His voice was solemn and warm, "On this special occasion, we gather to witness the love of Jeff and Kourtney. The love between them is so deep and genuine that it moves us all."Kourtney's mother Abigail's image was displayed on the screen and her smile was heartwarming. Kourtney looked at her mother's picture and a tear flashed in her eye, but she knew that her mother must be in heaven blessing her at this moment."We all know that Ko
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
