Lucas said, "It's because Anya saved you back then that her body was damaged by the snake's venom and lost the ability to bear children forever! You should know without me telling you how much it would hurt physically and psychologically for a girl to lose the chance to be a mother from a young age! Besides, it's Anya's dream to be a mother since childhood! It's because of you that she could never fulfill her dream! How could you be so indifferent to her now?"Jeremy's eyebrows were tightly furrowed and he said nothing.What Lucas said was indeed the truth.When he got injured 15 years ago, he was bitten by a venomous snake while he hid in a bush in a village to flee from danger. As the venom spread, he was on the brink of death, and he lost his vision; so he could not save himself.He was saved by a girl who passed by. It was because she sucked the venom out of his wound that he managed to live!Later, the girl found him with the keepsake he left for her. It was only then he lear
Lucas was right, but Jeremy was still calm."We didn't get registered in time, but we had a wedding. It's an actual marriage in the eyes of the law. Lucas, I understand that you're worried about your sister. I will use the rest of my life to compensate your sister for what she lost for me. However, the only thing I can't give her is marriage and your so-called happiness. I'm sorry."Having said that, Jeremy raised his wrist and glanced at this watch. "I'm done with my lunch. I have a meeting later in the afternoon, so I'll first be taking my leave."He stood up, turned around, and left, leaving no room for argument.Seeing how unwaveringly cold he was, Lucas could not hold himself back anymore. He stood up angrily and said, "Jeremy! Do you even have a conscience?"At that time, Anya happened to return with the cake. She saw that Jeremy was about to leave and her brother was angry, but she had no idea what happened. Looking confused, she asked, "What's the matter? Where are you goi
Ten years?Abura's mineral resources were highly sought after by both domestic and foreign companies, and plenty of corporations from powerful countries were eyeing this collaboration. That was why the person in charge from Abura was always been fearless and arrogant. He was also famously difficult to manage.At first, the Rivera Group only wanted to get a deal with Abura to collaborate for the next five years. However, the crown prince of Abura did not agree. He said he would only agree to sign for three years at most, and the terms of collaboration would be renegotiated after three years.Even if it was just a three-year collaboration, it was a deal that was hard to finalize.Corinne was gone over for an hour, yet she got a deal for a ten-year collaboration.Lucas was slightly dazed, and he looked a little surprised. "She could speak Aburian?"Edmund answered with great certainty, "Yes, she's very fluent, and she seems to be very humorous. The person in charge from Abura was so
"But I can't have children of my own anymore, so I thought of adopting a child. That's because I want to be a mother very badly."Seeing his sister being sad about the fact that she could no longer bear children made Lucas feel very heartbroken. How could he have the heart to scold her?He just sighed and wrapped his arm around his sister, then he comforted her gently, "I know. Bring the child home tomorrow! It's not good to keep him out there, and you'll be exhausted from traveling to and fro every day as well."Anya looked up in surprise. "I really can do that? Would Dad and Mom be angry when they find out? I'm scared."Lucas picked up a napkin to wipe off the tears in the corner of his sister's eyes. "Don't be scared. Dad and Mom know about your body's condition. They can understand that you have your reasons. It's just that they will need some time to accept this."Anya, you were indeed too reckless for making this decision on your own and doing something so important in secre
Lucas signed the contract happily with the person in charge from Abura in the meeting room, then they bid each other farewell with a friendly handshake.Before the person in charge left, he said a bunch of things to Lucas.Lucas could not understand Aburian, so he turned his head a little toward Corinne, who translated for them the whole time, and asked, "What's he saying?"Smiling very professionally, Corinne translated for him, saying, "Mister Lucas, Mister Lapura said this is the happiest collaboration he ever had. They hope they could continue collaborating with the Rivera Group for the following ten years as well. Their country likes it very much to collaborate with a company like yours that's sincere and responsible, but not as rigid as the others."Lucas was indeed a little surprised. The state-owned enterprise of Abura was always arrogant and hard to manage, so it was rare that they would show their goodwill with such enthusiasm.It seemed that it was because the client wa
A smile of relief appeared on Corinne's face after she got the ideal answer. "Nothing. I feel at ease as long as that man won't come here often."Edmund felt that Corinne was very strange. He did not know what exactly she was thinking about. He just ignored her and was about to leave again."Hold on, Mister Edmund, I want to ask you for a favor."Edmund was rather annoyed. "If you need something, you better tell me in one go!"Corinne said, "I don't want the Holdens to know I'm working here, so please help to make my information in the company classified and not let anybody find out about my existence in this company. Is that alright?"Edmund stared at Corinne and judged her in confusion for a moment before he said, "Sure. It's nothing hard."Corinne thanked him very seriously and sincerely, "I'll leave it to you then. Thank you so much!"Edmund was stunned by earnestness. He suddenly felt that she became very polite after going into working mode, and she was not as arrogant as
Corinne sat at her desk in a relaxed manner as she looked at Rosie. Without denying Rosie's words, she said, "Mm-hmm. You're right. You should be in prison now, Miss Rosie!"Rosie was just released yesterday after her sentence was reduced.Anya was the one who begged her brother to pull some connections and got Rosie out of there.Therefore, Rosie no longer had the long, wavy hair she once had, and she had short, shoulder-length hair instead. However, she already dyed and styled her hair overnight. After she put some effort into doing her hair, it looked very stylish and gorgeous as well.Thinking that she was wrongfully imprisoned for more than two months, Rosie glared at Corinne resentfully, clenched her teeth, and sneered with disdain."Do you think I'll be imprisoned forever? Corinne, you should know that Anya and I are best friends. How could she watch me be wrongfully accused by you and leave me be?"Corinne smiled without minding that at all. "Is that so?"Rosie got pisse
Rosie already made it very clear before this. She was always flirting with him openly and one-sidedly marking Lucas as hers.Rosie smiled with confidence. "He's not mine yet, but he will be eventually! Anya promised me that she'll make me her future sister-in-law! Lucas values Anya's opinion the most, so the result is obvious, isn't it?""Who's going to be who's sister-in-law?" Lucas's elegant and indifferent voice could be heard all of a sudden.Rosie and Corinne were both stunned at the same time, then they turned to look in the direction of the voice.Lucas looked like he just returned. His jacket was casually hanging on his arm, and every single move he made was graceful and elegant.As he walked over slowly, his gaze landed on Rosie, and his eyebrows furrowed. "Why are you here? What's the matter?"Rosie no longer looked like the shrew she was when questioning Corinne earlier. She looked at Lucas with a gentle gaze and said softly, "Lucas, I'm here to thank you for rescuing
