Heather gasped and quickly covered her mouth with her hand to stop herself from shouting. She stared at Cassidy with wide eyes. "Seriously? She's attracted to older men?" Cassidy nodded, a hint of regret in her expression. "Yeah. Honestly, even though I have a good opinion of my sister, I can't help but feel disgusted too. But she's still my sister, and even if others are against her, I have to support her." Heather's curiosity was piqued. "What do your parents think about it? I mean, which parent would want their child to be with someone as old as them? And how old is your sister anyway?" Cassidy interjected, looking thoughtful. "She's actually just one year older than us. And honestly, my sister isn't all that bad. Even though she argues with our parents all the time and moved in with her sugar daddy without getting married, I still feel like I have to be there for her." Heather still struggled to process the information, shaking her head and pursing her lips in distaste as she l
A moment later, he was pushed into the room. There was a small, polite smile on his lips as he was guided to the front of the table where the directors sat. His gaze was focused as he made eye contact with each of them. Despite it being his first time at the company, he appeared calm and relaxed. Furthermore, he didn't seem to be embarrassed about being in a wheelchair; in fact, he exuded more confidence than someone with fully functioning legs. He stood there for a moment, choosing not to sit immediately, leaving the men to wonder what his intentions were. Suddenly, he bowed lightly and began speaking solemnly, "I apologize for being late, everyone." Some of the directors who had initially planned to challenge him had no choice but to swallow their discontent. Max, however, was dissatisfied. He was already on edge because Nolan had his father's support, and he wanted to discredit him in front of the board. Even if it meant resorting to dirty tricks, he was determined to bring Nolan
He seemed very confident, and that was impressive enough for the group of nitpickers seated in the hall. Even Max couldn't help but look at him. Although he was well aware that his nephew was full of confidence and hardly intimidated by anything, he couldn't help but think that he seemed quite cool. When faced with the group of old geezers who always nitpicked about every single thing, he usually treaded very softly. But it was probably because he hadn't been there before that he was so confident. However, the directors were still not confident in him. After all, they needed someone strong enough to lead and who knew what he was doing. It was their hard work and sweat, and they couldn't possibly just play around with it. Nolan saw that they were still unconvinced, but he didn't say anything further. He went back to his seat and waited for them to decide what to do. Eventually, a woman said, "Since we are unable to decide whom to appoint, how about we vote?" Her words seemed plausibl
It was early winter in Beijing, and intermittent snowfall gave the city a picturesque white hue. As the snow settled on buildings and rooftops, it contrasted against the asphalt roads, which were occasionally split by passing cars. The freezing wind blew, occasionally howling to emphasize its intensity. In the Rothschild Corporation, Nolan had just arrived at the office. He took off his windbreaker and hung it on the coat rack by the entrance before entering the main office. Unlike the simple and minimalistic design of his mansion's office, this one had a European setting. It consisted of a separate main office and a lounge area with sofas and a wine rack. Inside the office, a large and tidy desk stretched from one edge of the room to the other, with only a mini PC and a few arranged files adorning its surface. Behind the desk, a long and wide bookshelf was installed into the wall, filled with books of various sizes and covers. Nolan picked up the remote for the heater on his desk a
It had been quite a busy afternoon, and Hailey was feeling stressed out. She casually twirled the pen in her hand while observing the interactions between her colleagues. Suddenly, Tara, who was seated beside her and engrossed in her phone, leaned towards Hailey and exclaimed, "Hailey, have you seen this?" "What is it?" Hailey asked, coolly turning her gaze towards Tara. Tara seemed hesitant to speak, but she carefully said, "Don't let their words affect you. Most of them don't know anything about you; they're just making assumptions." She tried to reassure Hailey. Hailey smiled and nodded in agreement. It was only then that Tara showed her the screen of her phone. It displayed the school forum's dashboard with a post about Hailey pinned at the top. Hailey felt a bit confused. Such an incident had occurred in her first week at the Institute. Someone had taken her photo and posted it on the forum, attracting a lot of attention.
Heather believed she was being benevolent again and didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, so she tried to mediate. This only made her angrier as she saw Hailey as another bully taking advantage of Cassidy's kindness. She barked at Hailey, "No, I did not misunderstand anything. I'm sure this person must have cheated as they said." Hailey observed the interaction between the two and had to hold back her laughter. It seemed that no matter which life it was, Cassidy still had that charm of manipulating others to get what she wanted. Cassidy must have bad-mouthed her to the other girl, explaining the hostility. Nevertheless, Hailey couldn't be bothered to deal with anyone who couldn't see through Cassidy's actions. She had fallen for it in her past life, but she wouldn't be so easily fooled this time around. Tara, who stood beside Hailey, was also annoyed by the girls' interference. She stepped forward and looked at Heather before saying, "And why is that any of your business? Even if sh
The car pulled into the underground garage of the city hospital, and Hailey and Nolan stepped out. They had come to visit Nolan's grandfather, who was admitted to the hospital. Hailey had been there once before, and despite not being warmly received by the old man, she remembered the way and offered to push his wheelchair so his assistant could return to the office. Nolan seemed slightly hesitant, but he didn't dismiss her like he had done the other day. Hailey noticed that he was being more lenient with her now, and she could sense a newfound tolerance in him. As they turned towards the hallway leading to the VIP wards, Nolan asked, "How have your lectures been going? Are they stressful?" Hailey looked at him, realizing that he hadn't been around much in the past few days and wasn't aware of how her days were going. She smiled gently and replied, "Although they can be stressful, they're also very interesting. And I made a friend." Nolan appeared surprised but didn't say anything,
Prime Manual City B Max was furious. He swept the files off the table in anger, and they crashed onto the floor. Pulling at his tie in annoyance, he kicked his desk and wore an expression filled with anger. It was clear to anyone that he was not in a state to be approached at that moment. Glancing at the message on his phone screen, Max gritted his teeth as he paced around his study. The content was sent by one of the executive members whom he had approached to create obstacles for Nolan. However, the person had rejected his offer and even advised him to calm down. They were all traitors. They had all promised to stand by him during the selection process. How could they change sides so quickly? And Nolan, that sneaky bastard. He acted as though he had no interest in the position, but when the time came, he snatched everything away from Max, which he had worked so hard for. But what annoyed him the most were those hidden shares. How could he have missed something so important? Nola
Hailey turned the sauce on the pan and whistled gently as she turned around the kitchen, buying herself other things while it cooked. After a minute, she looked at her wristwatch in contemplation. It was 5 pm already and Nathan should be home soon enough. She couldn't help looking out of the kitchen window to check if he was at the door yet but there was no one there so she returned to what she was doing.After some time, she was done in the kitchen and walked to the living room to sit down and wait for him. But she seemed rather impatient as she soon picked up her phone from the table and instead, dialed his number. It only rang once before it was answered and the man's familiar voice sounded from the phone. "Wifey," he called out cheekily making her break into smiles immediately. She leaned back on the sofa and adjusted the hand holding the phone before replying, "If you're not home in the next thirty minutes, I'm afraid your wife will be seduced away by another man."Nolan's lau
Hailey was looking forward to meeting one of Nolan's cousin. She had heard quiet a lot from her and was excited for the meet.From what she's heard, harmony happens to be one of Nolan's cousin.It was really important that everything was ready and prefect before her in law shows up at the house. Hailey was in the middle of handling the cleaning and checking out what the chef was making to welcome her guest. "Prefect. I want this dished on…." Hailey went through several plates on the rack, deciding which was befitting for her guest. "That!" She gestured at the most expensive plate in the kitchen. No one in the house had eaten from it before which made it perfect."Madam" one of the helps hurried towards Hailey, holding up two bed spreads in her hand."Which do you pick miss?"Hailey smiles at the lovely white sheets."This will do just fine" The young lady hurried off to carry out the last of her chores."We have the barbecue chicken ready madam. Would you like to take a bite?"
When Nolan had received a call from Steven again about Hailey’s abduction he was no longer surprised, it only turned out that during their never ending fight, Hailey was caught in it, she was kept hostage because they knew she was Nolan’s weakness, Nolan had instructed him to let go of Hailey and only faced him if he wasn’t a coward and the fight had only been tough.Hailey couldn’t help but gasp aloud especially at the beauty and the bigness, It was the real Definition of a Castle.

“You may now kiss the Bride”Tara's eyes continued to look around, she stared at her watch making her realize that it had been a long Hailey left their midst, Evan could notice her impatient, her feet were tapping uncontrollably so he instantly muttered. “Relax Man, she would be coming back.”Evan's words didn’t seem to have relived her, instead, she continued to stare forever at her clock as she was really worried and impatient at the moment, After some minutes, she noticed Hailey wasn’t coming back, and she instantly got on her feet and started to search for her hoping she was somewhere around. After a few minutes it was getting weird since she couldn’t seem to grab a hold of her anywhere around the house, She was really worried so she instantly drew out her phone and placed a call across to her but more weirdly she wasn’t picking up, Tara could hear the sound of her own heart racing fast, For a minute she doesn’t want to believe Hailey was in trouble somewhere but with minute passi

Nolan had gone to see Claire in prison as he was still bothered about some things, Nolan had been receiving some strange messages from an unknown source, He had received a lot of death threats and yet he wasn’t able to track the sources, but he didn’t expect Claire to be waiting already for him. Nolan's car had arrived right in front of the prison, Tino stepped out and pulled the car door open for Nolan to alight, Nolan gently stepped out of his Limousine and walked straight into the room.“I didn’t know you will come here so quick Nolan.” Claire had a smirk on her face as she was escorted into the visiting room with one of the female warders behind her. Nolan didn’t hesitate to say a word, instead, he sat on one of the empty seats glaring deadly at Claire. “Who do you work for? He asked quietly.Claire cracked aloud, “You didn’t expect me to spill that out to you, do you? Nolan watched the female warder un-cuffed her per Nolan’s instruction, The lady walked out of the room leaving
Nolan was seen right in his office even though his eyes had been scanning through a file for the past an hour yet he was still yet to understood a thing, His mind had drifted to somewhere else entirely, It been six months Hailey had fall into comma yet there was no positive news, Nolan had spend more time beside her, he only went to attend to businesses on important note, He had been living a boring dull life since Hailey wasn’t with him, Nolan finally set the file back to his position and placed a call across to Cain, Cain had been in charge of Hailey’s company along with Tara and Evan who had helped well as well, they had tried in managing the company well, “What about the investors files, Did you get them ready? Nolan questioned Cain from the other end.“I did, Their meeting will hold this meeting, Are you planning to join us?
