"I'm curious. I have no parent, grandparents or great grandparents. Of course I don't have a wife nor a child. If I suddenly drop dead one day, who will inherit my properties?"A man in a silver suit leaned back in a leather sofa, crossed his legs, and asked the layer across the desk in a half heated mannerThe lawyer had never met such a young man with no relatives. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "According to the law, brothers, sister's, nephews, nephews and even illegitimate children can inherit one's property""I do have a cousin but we don't speak to each other. Even so, is he qualified to inherit my property?""As long as he can prove his kinship with you""No way! Even if I pour money down the drain, I won't give it to him! " The man said coldly, "Just add a clause for me. If I did by accident, all of my property should be donated to the orphanage "The lawyer nodded and quickly arranged the will. The man lit a cigarette and turned around, only to find a woman stan
Hailey was deeply frightened. After a short while, she pursed her lips and looked at the man who saved her. She asked in surprise, "It's you!" It was the man who she saw writing will in the consulting room. Jacob pulled her up and said in annoyance, "Miss, if it weren't for me, you would have been killed by that truck" "Thank you...." Hailey swept away the dust on her cloth and said, "I will be more careful next time" Asher noticed that she seemed to be a daze. Her face was sickly pale, there was a drip left by the IV drip needle at the back of her hand. He pressed her lips together and said, "You seem unwell. Let me give you a ride home, in case you wander alone" "That's fine.." Hailey wanted to turn him down, but there was suddenly a sharp pain in her stomach. Her legs went limp. Asher grabbed her arm and led the her to the passenger seat of an SUV, "Don't worry. I'm not a bad guy. I will drive you back home safe and sound" Hailey knew that she was in a bad state, so she no l
Hailey turned to look at the young man. She could not imagine the type that of pain he had gone through at such a very young age. She was silent for a long time before she said, "It doesn't matter. Don't worry about those relatives. You can give yourself a home, get married and have children. Then you will have a family of three. Isn't it good to live happily with your loved ones?" "Get married and have a family?" Asher smirked. "I'm not even interested in women" He suddenly felt that what he had said was somewhat misleading, so he quickly added, "Of course, ok not interested in men either" Hailey felt that his joke was not funny at all. She pursed her lips in response to his self mockery. However, Asher was very curious about the woman beside him. He said while driving, "It's fate that has brought us together twice in one day. But I don't even know your name yet" Hailey was silent for a moment. Although not many people in Manila city knew her, her name was often seen on many ent
Hailey sat at the passenger seat. She was utterly at a loss for words."Odessa Russell, that's enough!" Asher came over and grabbed her arms. "Stop spreading rumors. I broke up with you amicably. I've given you all the compensation you deserve. Don't be so unreasonable""You think I'm being unreasonable?" Odessa was incensed. "When we were a couple, you hooked up with three different young girls and married women at the same time. You flirted with them and told me that you loved me. Aren't you a jerk? "Feeling a little guilty, Asher touched his nose. Life was long and tedious. If he didn't have some fun, how could he make his life worthwhile?When he was about to speak, he met Hailey's calm eyes. They were as clear as water and emotionless, but they frightened him for a reason.He pinched his nose bridge. "That's enough, Odessa. When we were dating you have benefitted a lot from our relationship. In fact, u have given you some business deals. If you're still upset, I would make you m
The driver of the Coke family sent Hailey to the hospital safe and sound. He also applied for a single deluxe ward for her. Moreover, he hired two private nurses to take care of her.The better Old Master Coke treated her, the more anxious she became.She was afraid that one day she would see the disappointment in Old Master Coke's face. She hoped that day would never come. But her body...She sighed and leaned against the hospital bed head, quietly watching the IV fluid that channeled into her body drip by drip.Jett entered the ward and saw Hailey lying on the bed and frowned, "President George, I heard that you're pregnant. Why do you look seriously ill?"" Hailey snapped out of her reverie and looked at her assistant who had worked for her for three years. She smiled and said, "There are some signs of premature birth. Isn't it a disease too? I haven't gone to the company for quiet some time. How is everything?""Not so good....." Jett opened the brief case he carried with him and
The situation shocked Hailey. She saw the reporters aim the camera at her belly and quickly turned around to protect her abdomen. Nikolai put his arm around her and held her tight. Hailey had never felt so safe before. She hesitated for a moment but she eventually reached out and grabbed his shirt."Play along" Suddenly, Nikolai's voice rang in her ears. Hailey froze and slowly loosened her grasp on his shirt. "What do you want to do?""To deal with the media and end this mess" Nikolai played along. "If you agree, I will grant your previous request ""What request?""Didn't you want me to design a wedding dress for you?"Hailey was stunned, but after a while, she said with a chuckle, "But I'm not longer interested in the wedding dress""But I want to design it""You ...""Don't talk, let's deal with the media first" Nikolai pressed her head on his chest.Hailey lowered her gaze. At a time like this, she had no choice but to comply. Did she ever have options?"President Coke, the pub
Hailey said softly, "It is normal for you to find it familiar, it is a common name"After the blood test, she pressed the cotton swab on it to prevent it from bleeding, and left the blood test room."Hey, Hailey, why are you here?" Asher's voice sounded behind her back. "I see that you're wearing the hospital gown. Are you staying in the hospital? Are you ill?"Hailey slowed down but she did not look back at him.She neither wanted to say anything to a stranger or ask a stranger to take pity on her."Hey, why are you ignoring me?" Asher strode towards her. "It must be fate that has brought us together three times a day. It must be destiny. Can we at least be friends?"Hailey looked at the road ahead, walking forward slowly. She did not want to talk to him."Hailey, we are the patients in the same hospital, we should be companions. Why did you ignore me?"No matter how Asher tried to pester her, Hailey still remained calm. He rolled his eyes, grabbed his broken arms and suddenly whimp
Sky looked at Hailey with a complicated look and he sighed internally. They were both classmates and deskmates for three years back then in high school. After graduation, they grew apart. In the past few years when he was studying abroad, he would always wonder how this proud and lonely gurl was doing.He thought that she would marry her Mr Right and lead a happy life, but he did not expect that her life would come to an end like that."Hailey, the technology nowadays is quiet advanced. Nothing is absolute. You must believe in yourself.""I know, Syke, thank you""By the way, have you consulted the stomach cancer expert I told you about a while ago?"Hailey frowned and said, "You haven't told m about this""When you were unconscious, I told your younger sister, didn't she tell you?"Hailey felt a tinge of bitterness within her. "Sky, from now on, just tell me about my illness. Don't tell my sister, my parents nor my husband..."Sky seemed to have understand what she meant and nodded
