“No, I really want to keep working for you!” Sofia stammered, and it seemed that it was really difficult for her to tell Jhenifer the truth.Why couldn't Jhenifer see that Sofia was only doing this for her own good?“Why don't you try lying to me again? I know what you're thinking when you've been working for me for so long.” Jhenifer crossed her arms and continued in a stern tone. “Don't think for a second that you'd be able to lie to me. As long as I want to, I'd have over a hundred ways of finding out what happened last night. Are you expecting me to investigate this myself? Do you want me to fire you or do you want to come clean?”Sofia gave in after receiving such a threat from Jhenifer. She didn't want to lose her job, so she bit her lip, hesitated for a moment before confessing: “.“You went to Jackson Carson's apartment yesterday when you were terribly drunk.”“What happened there?” Jhenifer began to probe, and it seemed that, as she expected, something must have happened la
“President Carson intentionally told me to give this to you!” Maison politely handed her a branded handbag. “The president told me you must have it and if you don't, I won't be able to leave work today. Besides, this reflects his feelings, as he only wants the best for you, Ms. Lazer.”Victoria was completely speechless.She wondered why he was so desperate to give her presents?“Please stay with him, Ms. Lazer!” Maison added as she held up the Chanel bag she had just bought earlier, and Victoria didn't want to accept it, but nevertheless, there were many people looking at her in the lobby. She couldn't refuse. If she refused, Maison and she could be the talk of the office the next day.“I'll be on my way now, personal assistant Maison!” Victoria replied as she picked up her new bag, as she didn't want to waste any more time.“Goodbye, Ms. Lazer!” Maison nodded before giving her a polite smile as she said it, and Victoria gave her a simple reply before heading off to find Noemia.Ho
How dare she throw a glass of cold water on her in front of so many people back then, she would force her to marry the Saints to feel what it was like to be tortured!Victoria immediately noticed her grandmother, her stepmother Suelen, and her ruthless father, Ricardo, when she entered the living room, and Victoria didn't feel the slightest trace of compassion when she returned home after being away for so long. At the moment, a glimmer of disgust and resentment could be seen in the depths of her eyes. If it hadn't been for arguing about her mother's inheritance, she would never have set foot in this house.They had conspired against her and cost her purity and almost crossed Jackson too, and not to mention that, in the end, they had exiled her from the family and also taken every last bit of her mother's inheritance, and her feelings for the family had died a long time ago.“I'm here now.” Victoria withdrew her cold gaze and spoke calmly to the trio on the sofa. “You wanted to talk
Since the incident with Jackson that they had planned, she should never have expected anything from them, and it seemed that she would still have to rely on Harvey to gather evidence for her mother's case.Victoria realized that it would be useless for her to think about her own affairs at the moment, and as she was familiar with the layout of the mansion, she knew that there was a small door that could be opened in the basement, however, she would have to remove the door to get to itSo she calmed down and thought carefully about her situation for a moment before starting to look for the light switch. She moved around the walls until she found the light switch, and after the room was illuminated, using her memories, she found the small door that was sealed and was behind some sturdy bags.If she wanted to get out, she would have to open the wooden plank, and to do so, she started looking for some tools to open the plank.And, Noemia ran into the living room as soon as the burly men
The police arrived in less than five minutes after Noemia contacted them, and when she explained everything, Cassia immediately exploded in a fit of rage and allowed the officers to search her room.However, as the officers were not familiar with the layout of the mansion, they had no idea where the basement was after searching the area. As they had no idea where the basement was, they couldn't search it. The policemen soon left after they failed to find Victória with their rough sweep of the area.Noemia was forced to leave and couldn't do anything with these people, all she could do was get back into the car in a panicked and frustrated rage. She then decided to calm down and think as she got into her car, and decided to call her cousin, because as he knew a lot of people, he would know what to do.Noemia frantically called Harvey after that, and he asked her to go home for now and leave the situation to him when the call was over.However, Noemia didn't want to leave. She had th
After the quick conversation with Victoria's aunt, Jackson immediately told his assistant to investigate the situation as soon as he left her apartment.After the phone call ended, Jackson remembered that Victoria's only best friend was Noemia, and Maison told him that Noemia was the one who had picked her up from work earlier. He immediately found Noemia's number and called her, and Noemia only answered the call after a few long seconds.“Did Victoria leave with you, Noemia?” Jackson asked in a deep voice.“No!” Noemia denied immediately, as she didn't want Jackson to get involved in this.“Noemia, Victoria is missing, right?” Jackson continued as he walked, and his voice got deeper, which made Noemia a little afraid of him. “Do you want me to look at the Carson Group's surveillance footage to find out who picked her up from work?” Noemia immediately remained silent as she bit her lip.“Fine, I'll tell you the truth!” It seemed she couldn't hide it from Jackson, so she admitted it.
As soon as Jackson spoke, Noemia nodded, but the truth was that she didn't want Jackson involved in this, because it meant that Victoria would have to owe her a favor again. What would happen if he found out the truth about Victoria's children then? Well, the results of the first paternity test had been faked.However, this had already made him want to take the test a second time, and things were different at the moment, because she didn't want anything to happen to Victoria. Besides, she had no idea what her cousin was doing at the moment, since she hadn't heard from him since. So the only person she could trust was Jackson. So the pair entered the Lazer family mansion together.The Lazers were having dinner at the moment and there was no one present in the living room, and when the maid who was cleaning the room saw Jackson after they entered, she took a step back. “Who are you? This is private property, and no random person is allowed in!” She immediately tried to kick them out.
After receiving her orders, the bodyguards immediately began to search, and upon realizing the situation, Cassia began to panic.“Mr. Carson, it's illegal for you to search someone else's house!”“So hiding my wife isn't illegal, Mrs. Lazer?” Jackson looked at her and sneered as he said it.Cassia was speechless the moment he said it, as her expression immediately turned pale.She then gave the man sitting on the sofa a sharp look as she wondered what to do.The whole Lazer family would undoubtedly be ruined if he actually found her.However, just as Cassia was wondering what to do, Jackson noticed the photo on the table, picked it up to take a look, and Ciara answered immediately before he could ask anything.“Mr. Carson, my sister is getting married soon and her husband is the man in the picture, so it's impossible for you and my sister...”A loud slap could be heard the instant she
From the moment she got into the car until she reached the restaurant, it was only at this moment that she was able to breathe a sigh of relief. And, noticing Victoria's nervousness, Jackson smiled, and when they were seated in the restaurant, he let her sit next to him.Victoria ate her meals normally this time because she was nervous all the time now and forgot to pretend to behave rudely, and Jackson couldn't help smiling when he saw this.“Don't you have to act like you haven't eaten for a few days today?” he said jokingly, and Victoria, who was drinking lemon juice through a straw, hearing Jackson's words, immediately choked on the juice and coughed a few times.“I... I'm not very hungry today!” At this, his face was slightly red.Victoria thought: “Why did I forget that?”So she took out the straw, picked up the glass and prepared to swallow thejuice. However, just as her lips were about to touc
Victoria was very happy because it was the first time she had faced Ciara with force, and both she and her mother used to be bullied by the Lazer and were never treated well. However, they were too weak to fight back then, and had to put up with it, but now, she no longer had to be bullied like before, and, of course, it was all thanks to Jackson.Victoria looked at Jackson, who was sitting elegantly behind the desk, leafing through the documents and had an idea.She wanted Jackson to help her avenge her mother by bankrupting the Leisure Group, and she couldn't help having sex with him anyway.Victoria stood in the office doorway for a while before Jackson noticed her, and he smiled slightly as soon as he saw her, holding out his hand to her.“Come here!” He said in a soft, deep voice.Victoria approached obediently, and just as she was about to sit down in the office chair opposite Jackson, he patted her leg.&ld
So, the two were in a bad relationship, but without proof, no one could be sure that Lisa did it, and Carla trusted Lisa a lot, and agreed without hesitation: “I know what to do, Lisa!” After that, she left to give the project to Victoria, and when Lisa called Gisele to tell her about the change of designer, Lisa told her that her designer would be made by a new and talented designer from the company.Gisele was in her twenties, quite young, so she didn't find anything wrong with this, and hearing that the designer was the one who had designed Samanta's wedding dress, she agreed.Carla gave the design request files to Victoria and made no mention of Lisa.Victoria read the information on the application, and it was another actress called Gisele Boyer, whom she had never heard of before. Perhaps she was an up-and-coming actress?Victoria didn't doubt it and began to study the actress's interests.Gisele Boyer: a little-known actress in her 20sFavorite: All pink clothes embellished w
At this thought, Jayric snorted and wanted to hint at his feelings for her, but before he could say anything, Victoria spoke first.“By the way, Mr. Rey, are we the only ones organizing the event?”She thought Jayric was too good for her, as he always gave herthe best orders. It was also the reason her colleagues envied her. What if that was the case too?Now her colleagues were better with her. If he still showed her so much favor, they must have some opinions with her again.“No, there are a few other designers who will be taking part, so let's form a team.” Jayric was thinking of confessing to her, but was stopped, so he had to answer her question first.“Okay, that's good. I've never tried teamwork. It's a good chance that I can work in a team with fellow senior designers! “Victoria was relieved and smiled intelligently.She had just come to the company after a few days away, and it wasn't
Jackson thought she was cute as she sat there saying nothing, and her hair was messy and she wore no make-up or fancy clothes, so he had a bit of fun.Did she think he'd get tired of her?“Your messy hair makes me feel like you're doing it on purpose!” He said affectionately and Victoria could feel the air he exhaled making her a little nervous.“That's how I stay at home. I can't do anything if you don't like me like this.”“Do you want me to kiss you?” He smiled, touched her lips softly and whispered, making Victoria blush.She thought: “It's going to happen anyway. I know it can't be good when he asks to meet me at night.”“Jackson, our relationship has just begun. Can we wait... and do it... later?” She bit her lips, trembling.“Do what?” Jackson looked at her, and probably knew what she was thinking.she was thinking.In truth, he wasn't tha
Looking at him walk away, Victoria thought that their relationship wasn't exactly normal, and she didn't mind.She wasn't planning on staying with him forever anyway, and when he got tired of it, she'd be able to get rid of him and wouldn't have to worry about him taking her babies away.She then turned towards the house and went in to see the babies, and it was about half past seven and already dark.Noemia was at a business dinner with her parents, and wouldn'tbe home before 10.Noemia sent a message to Victoria telling her not to wait up and that she had found someone to help with the paternity test, and Victoria was relieved.Lara was in her arms and they were watching TV together. After a while, her phone started buzzing, and Victoria didn't notice it at first.“Mom... cell phone...” Enzo heard the buzzing and went to pick up the phone, pointing at the screen.Victoria understood him, a
“Come on. I'll take you for a meal!” Jackson said. However, just as he was about to walk her to her car, Victoria pulled her hand away.“Let me change first, if it's not going to be inappropriate for me to eat out like this.”It seemed that Victoria had been dressing like this for the last few days, and it would certainly be inappropriate for her to eat in a restaurant while she was dressed like this.“All right, I'll wait for you!” Jackson replied, and Victoria nodded and went back to her mansion.It didn't take long for Victoria to put on her best outfit, however, she was hesitating over whether or not she wanted to put make-up on, and in the end, decided against it.She wasn't really dating him anyway, so why should she put so much effort into dressing up for him? What if he really got tired of her one day when he had to look at how dull she looked every day?Victoria decided never to put make-up on for him again, and that way, he would get bored with her very quickly and she would
His voice seemingly melted Jackson's frozen heart as he reached out to gently pat the children's heads before carrying them to the carpet and starting to play with them.As Enzo was a boy, it wasn't long before he was Jackson's best friend while playing with them. What's more, he was quite aggressive while playing with Jackson.He actually climbed on his back and started pulling his short hair, and Victoria was shocked when she realized how aggressive he was while Enzo was playing with Jackson.That's because she knew what kind of person Jackson was.Who would dare pull his hair like that?“Don't pull his hair or he'll get mad!” Victoria was worried that Jackson might be angry, so she immediately ran to hug Enzo while nervously teaching him.After being lectured by his mother, Enzo put his head down and didn't dare make a sound, and Jackson noticed this and thought that Victoria shouldn't have acted like that,because it
“Noemia, can you do me a favor?” Victoria turned to Noemia, who was still leaning against the door.“What do you need?” Noemia asked.“Jackson wants to do another DNA authentication test. Can youhelp me find two people to act as my cousin and her husband? They have to be someone trustworthy, as they need to be able to withstand Jackson's questioning.”“I can help you look for people, but how do you intend to do that?” Noemia frowned.“They just have to refuse his request, and make him believe that they are the children's biological parents.” Victoria reasoned.“Are you sure that would work? After all, Jackson isn't naïve and will fall for it easily.” Noemia said after considering it for a while.“I'm not sure either, but I don't have any better ideas!” Victoria sighed. Previously, she had used fake hair to manipulate the test results, but this time, they wouldn't use that trick again, and Jackson wouldn't fall for it.Noemia looked at Victoria's troubled expression, and reached out
