Asher stood in front of the mirror and lit up a cigarette. In the midst of smoke, he appeared depressed.His assistant walked in fearfully. He did not know why the President suddenly called him in. It was mainly because of the President's tone that he felt that he would be scolded."Do a background check on Hailey George, the founder of For You jewelry" Asher sounded so cold and distantThe assistant breathe a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and said, "Mr Lorenzo, I've been meaning to tell you about the President of For Your Jewelry. But you said her family background is not important on partnership, so I kept my mouth shut"Asher held a cigarette in his hand and said coldly, "Tell me everything now""President George and Mr Nikolai Coke, the President of Cokes cooperation are husband and wife""What did you just say?"Asher's face was filled with anger."We've just returned to our homeland for expanding our market for less than a month, so we are not aware of the news in Manila ci
"President George, why are you here?" Assistant Leo bent down to shake hands with Hailey. He seemed frightened and worried.He smiled dryly and said, "How can I let you come in person, President George. Even if something happens, I should go and meet you myself..."Hailey smiled calmly and said, "assistant Leo is busy. How could I ask you to go to for you jewely? It's better for me to come here"Assistant Leo touched his sweaty forehead and he could only lower his head and smiled apologeticallyPresident Asher chose for you jewelry out of dozens of company's, which was enough to show how important for you jewelry was. He did not dare to offend her."I came here for you to sign the contract with President Asher face to face. Please inform me, assistant Leo""Well...."Assistant Leo became much more nervous and the tissue in his hand became wet."What's wrong?" Hailey smiled and said, "Is it not a good timing?""Yes, he is busy" assistant Leo nodded and said, "President Asher has some pr
"I didn't expect that you would come here to see me in person" As soon as they entered the restaurant, Asher lit his cigarette. He leaned against his chair and said lazily.Hailey took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Mr Lorenzo, please go to the smoking room if you want to smoke. There's a pregnant woman here"Asher's eyes darkened. He put down the cigarette on the ash tray, looked up at her and said, "Hailey if I remember correctly, you are diagnosed with stomach cancer by the doctor. Forgive me for being so imprudent,but can a person with stomach cancer give birth to a child?"Hailey replied softly, "Does it have anything to do with you?""Of course it has something to do with me because you're my first business partner ever since I came here to expand my business. If you die,how will I make my profit?"Asher fixed his eyes on her. He appeared calm but there are unknown expression in his eyes.He suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, I saw in the news that you and President Co
"It's okay. My father has been dead for more than ten years now. It's just that I can't let go of it" Asher appeared calm again, "Every year, when it's bear my father's anniversary death, I get myself drunk. Only then I can numb my sense. In these way, I wouldn't have to think about those painful memories from the past".Suddenly, Hailey felt his deepest grieve and she was at a loss.She was neither a goof listener nor a person who is good at alleviating ones pain. She was not used to learning about other people's secrets because it would make her troubled and burned. However, she was the one who started the topic, and it was not good for her to interrupt him halfway."My father said that I am a curse. On the day I was born, my mother passed away due to difficult labor. From that day onwards, my father because drunk every night and became a gangster on the street. When he was drunk, he hit me. After more than ten years when I was eleven years old, my father passed away. How did he die
Hailey stood up with her bag and walked out.She drove there and she did not want him to give her a ride. However, he dragged her to his sport car by force and put her on the seat beside the driver's seat, "You will hurt yourself and the others if you insist o driving yourself in this condition. Sit down and I will drive you back to the hospital"Hailey had no choice but to compromise.He driver the car slowly, and the cool breeze blew in slowly through the car window.Looking at her pretty face through the rear view mirror, Asher could not help but to tighten his grip on the steering wheel. Soon enough, they arrived at the hospital.Hailey opened the door and get out of the car. She smiled and said, "Mr Lorenzo, thank you for giving me a ride. I will go back to the ward first""Wait."Asher raised his eyebrows and looked at the window of the hospital in front of him. He stepped out of the car in order to walk her to her ward in the hospital. He suddenly stood in front of her and his
"Nikolai Coke, I will apply for a divorce certificate from the court. If there's anything you want to talk about in tbe future, please contact my lawyer directly" Hailey said slowly.She ignored his rising anger and pushed his hand away then she walked to the hospital bed and covered herself with the blanket."Divorce?" He sounded so immensely angry. "Don't even think about it!""Don't assume that I don't know that the bastard child in your womb has the right to take 20% of the Coke's cooperation. You want a divorce at this time. So do you plan to keep your bastard child and spend the money with your lover? Hailey George, don't even dream about it!"Hailey emerged from the blanket and asked, "Is that how you see me?""How else should I see you?" Nikolai stared at her. His knuckles almost cracked as he almost clenched his fists. He would never agree to divorce!She seemed dignified and noble, but however, she planned to raise her bastard child with the Cokes cooperation money.How could
"Oh Agnes, why are you crying?" Mrs George pulled Agnes into her arms. Her heart was aching."Mom..." Agnes cried out uncomfortably, "Does Nikolai suspect anything? If he finds out that I'm not that little girl, will he abandon me? Mom what should I do?""You do like to make all kinds of conjectures!" Mrs George comforted her. "ALL the doctor's and nurses who knew about the truth had been transferred away. Your father made sure of that. Even if Nikolai suspects it, it is impossible for him to find the truth. Agnes, you must insist that you are the little girl who accompanied Nikolai in the past. As long as you sound convincing, no one can doubt it, okay?"Agnes could not catch her breath as she was crying, "What if Nikolai knows about it now?""No he won't. " Mrs George afirmed. "He's going to divorce Hailey. You will marry him soon. When you become Mrs Coke, even if he finds out later, what else can he do? Agnes don't cry. Mom will deal with everything for you. There ...there....don
Asher's face suddenly darkened. He tried to recall what he had just said now. He wondered, what did he say that has caused such a huge misunderstanding?It was such a great shame for a man!He suppressed his annoyance. Before he could explain himself, his keen ears heard some footsteps coming from outside the ward.That was the kind of noise which leather shoes makes on the floor. It was impossible for doctors and nurses to wear leather shoes while they are working.Moreover, the patients were weak. Even though they were wearing leather shoes, they would never make such heavy steps.Then it could only be ...Asher's eyes were filled with a lot of wickedness.He raised his head and looked at Hailey. There was an inscrutable look in his dark eyes."I was just joking" Hailey realized that she had just said something wrong and quickly explained , "I will take back what I just said. Don't take it seriously"Before she finished her words, Asher suddenly stepped forward and approached her gr
The fiasco started by Asher ended after Shirley ruined her own vocal cord.Hailey knew that she had done the best she could since she had sent people to take care of Asher. At this moment, the most important thing for her was to live her own life.******* ********"Zaney, honey, your momma is pregnant...you will have a little sibling soon, okay" Mrs Coke was the first to whisper into Zane's ears."Yahhhhh, grandma" Zane grinned. He rushed to hug Hailey, his little hands wrapped around Hailey's hips as he nuzzled her nose against Hailey's belly.Mrs Coke smiled.Nikolai thanked Doc Cyril and walked out of the office, Mrs Coke was the one who held Hailey while Nikolai had Zaney in his arms.It was indeed a beautiful sight!The most beautiful scene Nikolai had ever imagined••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••2months After....These past two months were the best for Hailey. She had a good reconciliation with her father and her lost Angie, Angie got serious mental issues and even the doctors c
After taking Hailey out of the national registration department, Nikolai did not bring her home directly, he drove her straight to the hospital.Although Asher said that pill would only make Hailey lose her voice temporarily and had no other side effects, Nikolai was still worried.Besides, Hailey had been kidnapped by Prince Peter. He did not know if they had hurt her, so he had to let the doctor check her carefully before he could be rest assured.When she got in the car and found that it was not the way home, Hailey still could not utter a word.She could only sit in the shotgun seat and keep waving her hand at Nikolai who was driving to show thar except for her voice she was very healthy without any discomfort.But how could Nikolai listen to her? He only told her that she should take a rest in the car first and then drive her to the hospital for an examination before taking her to a good meal.Hailey was annoyed but she couldn't say anything. She could only stare at Nikolai and c
"No, Hailey, don't listen to her nonsense,I really didn't so it."Asher was very anxious at the moment. He tried to hold Hailey's hand but Nikolai beat him to it.Nikolai's pulled Hailey into his embrace. His tone was cold and indifferent as he said, "Let's not discuss the matter of framing me for the time being. However, if Hailey is unable to say anything, what did you do to her?"In the beginning, Hailey gave him no reply, making Nikolai assume that she was disappointed in him.But since Shirley came, Hailey looked agitated yet she still remained silent which made Nikolai feel suspicious.He was completely sure that Hailey was drugged. When Asher started explaining yo Hailey, she dud not even question him. She simply had a flustered and disappointed look in her eyes.Nikolai knew Hailey well. He knew that it was not Hailey's true reactions unless she could not speak at all.Hailey who had been protected tightly in Nikolai's embrace sighed helplessly. She looked at Asher with deeper
The four of them met in a private room in the private club. A man who looked like Doug sat at the head of the table without saying a word. He had quiet a bit of imposing manner. That was the George's family second uncle- Hayes George. "Hayes, I'm here with my two children." Doug frowned. During those years, that brother of his had been in noy much contact with him and his brothers all the time. He did not expect that they would meet in such a way. Hayes George glanced a both zephira and Doug coldly. When he looked at Hailey, he said coldly, "Hailey right? You'd better not show off your ability given that you're young. Even if you've just entered the company, you should still act sensibly" The incident about Nikolai of the Cokes family and Hailey of the Georges cooperation had been discussed vehemently in the upper class in Manila city. Everyone knew that Nikolai had used a great sum of money to gain a beauty's affection. If it was not for Nikolai's powerful tactics and the support
Austin compromised. Seeing that, Hailey looked cold but she did not push him. She said, "Then let's deal with Xyla first. Although Xyla is a member of our design apartment she has been in the company for five years. During this period of time, she has been using other's design drafts. Thus time around she has brought trouble to our George's cooperation. I decided to dismiss her. Do you have any opinions?" Even if she could not deal with Austin directly, she still had a way to deal with Xyla. In addition, that was a good opportunity. Since zephira had a soft personality as her sister, Hailey must be tough in the company and show her strength to others. Thus, others would not think that they were easy to be bullied and do the same thing as Austin again. The others witnessed how Hailey acted in a slick manner and suppressed Austin in a reasonable manner. Now that she had said something more, the others would only be convinced by her. So they said one after another, "I don't have any o
Reinvigoration - the most perfect work of art would always go through twists and turns.The signature was the name of the cooperation between the Xavier family and George's cooperation.Mer champ looked at Xyla in disbelief. When did the design department hand in such a design draft to the Xavier family? How come he dud not know anything about that?Xyla did not bring her cell phone to that conference room. At that time, she began to panic when she saw Mr champs expressionBefore she could ask, Hailey looked at Xyla with a smile and instructed. "Take this pen drive and insert it to the computer over there"Xyla had a plan in her mind, so Hailey must have her own purpose in doing so. Otherwise why would Hailey hide such a thing from the design department? Hence she did not obey Hailey's order for a long time.Hailey raised her eyebrows but she did not lose her temper. She inserted the pen drive into the computer and turned on the audio software. A woman's voice appeared on the screen.
Angie had taken the medicine for sobering up before she drank the wine, which was all to make Xyla lower her vigilance and disguise.Xyla replied directly, "Do what? Does anyone know that I plagiarized? Think about it. I have to thank you for providing me with the design drafts. Otherwise, why would I be sitting in my current position and ruin that damn Yona reputation?""I'm telling you! If you're smart, you should rely on mr. You'd better hand over the design drafts to me obediently. When Hailey is driven out of the company tomorrow, I will be the manage. I will not pursue the matter that you betrayed me."Upon hearing that, Angie frowned slightly. How could Xyla accurately explain that she would drive Hailey out of the company during the following day? Angie could not help but ask, "Why did you say that?"Xyla was almost fully drunk because if the alcohol so she did not reply to that anymore. "Haha..."She fell asleep with her head tilted.Angie stopped the recording and sent the a
When Xyla was going downstairs, although she was still not feeling well, there was a hint of joy on her face. But she only left after she thought of what he told her. He claimed that Hailey did not provide any design which the Xavier family was satisfied with. And when she thought about Angie, she had a plan in her mind.In tbe past few days, she did not see any work of Angie, but who knee if Angie had cooperation with Hailey in private?Her heart was filled with schemes. Angie's appearance had long disrupted her state of mind.Upon entering the office, Xyla suddenly heard Hailey's voice."In order to welcome Angie, I will treat you to dinner today. Let's have a meal"As soon as the manager spoke, everyone naturally agreed.Xyla smirked. Unexpectedly, someone gave her a chance just when she had a scheme in her mind.Angie was a lightweight drinker. She would say anything after drinking a few glasses of wine.When it was time to get off work, she silently tidied up the design paper on
After that day, Hailey's relationship with Nikolai was improved rapidly.Nikolai began to contact Hailey rapidly by using the communication tool though he was an introvert. He mostly greeted Hailey good morning but Hailey was quite warmed to that.She had to admit that she felt something for Nikolai again.But as for how the relationship between the two of them would develop in the future, she still had some hesitation. The past was still deep pain for her, and when she thought about that, she was grieved.She could not have more contact with him for the sake of the hurt Zaney had suffered.Yes, that was it. Now, she still had cooperation with him because of the project of the diamond factory. She could not just fall with him directly.She thought that she might need some timr to figure out what she was thinking.Hailey was in a dilemma, but the daily work had exposed her heart which wavered constantly.On several occasions, she forgave Yvonne's careless mistake and carefully helped h
