Roxana Nelson tightly held her purse as she deliberated. Although she hadn't spent much of her salary this month, what would happen after she started school? She still had to pay rent, and at that time, she might end up poor again.

Richard Harris ignored her words and gave her the most precious smile, captivating the saleswoman.

Roxana Nelson pulled away from his large hand. "No need, I'll choose a regular pair," she insisted.

She didn't want to admit that she had no money. She had a bit of pride and didn't want others to know. Specifically, she didn't want to be mocked by that group of guys!

Richard Harris understood her intention and removed his wallet from his pants, placing his card on the counter. "Young lady, it has to be the best quality!" he said politely to the saleswoman.

He didn't look at Roxana Nelson but only held her tiny hand. But this small gesture moved Roxana Nelson slightly.

So he cared in this way as well.

"Enough, let me handle it," Roxana Nelson didn't want him t

    "Harris! What's wrong? Did something unpleasant happen?" Simon's handsome face, with an enchanting smile, suddenly appeared in front of Richard Harris, making him even more frightened.There was no trace of a slender hand like jade pushing forward, but Kylie immediately clung to Richard Harris. Her soft, boneless body resembled a serpent, crawling up on him, refusing to let go. Richard Harris ignored her sticking. With a wicked smile, Simon approached and caressed Kylie's face, then walked by with a mischievous tone: "Harris! Kylie has admired you for a long time!""Admire me?" Richard Harris looked at Kylie's heavily powdered face, which appeared rather unpleasant. He couldn't help but recall the natural beauty of Roxana Nelson's fair complexion. That was indeed a heavenly gift. As for those girls who constantly pampered their skin, always wearing layers of makeup, they seemed pale in comparison."Yes, it's admiration for your prestigious reputation! Don't pretend to be clueless. Eve

    "Harris! If you need capital, say it. I'm willing to invest in you without becoming a shareholder!""No need, I can handle it myself!" Richard Harris appreciated his good intentions, but if he let him invest, it wouldn't longer create his social position."Mr. Thomas is likely to leave the inheritance of the Thomas Family to you!" Simon withdrew the smile on his face and spoke earnestly. "Are you prepared for that?""Why should I? I don't care. I didn't need it before and don't want it now. And I certainly don't want it in the future." Richard Harris didn't care about that older man's wealth at all. He could donate it to charity if he didn't want to tarnish his glory. After all, there were plenty of people starving in Africa every year. It would be more meaningful to do charity work than to let Juan Thomas destroy everything. "Nhân, can I ask you for a favor?"Immediately, Simon's face lit up like a puppy, eagerly asking, "Tell me! What is it?""Don't mention Mr. Thomas before me from

    "CEO Thomas, you can't behave like this! Dragging and pulling like this, what kind of leader are you?""Hmph! Pretending to be innocent? Who would believe that? Nowadays, who criticizes money? Only fools!""Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Let me tell you, I already have a boyfriend. Chairman Thomas, please respect yourself!" Roxana Nelson thought of a way to escape the clutches of this sleazy guy and quickly leave the place."Hmph! I don't care!" He honestly had no shame, this guy.Roxana Nelson was distraught and on the verge of tears. Even her contact lenses became blurry, making it difficult to see who was before her. She let out a piercing scream, "Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Indeed, this ear-piercing scream scared Juan Thomas enough to release Roxana Nelson. However, he immediately lunged forward and grabbed the silk hem of her dress from behind."You damn bitch! Do you dare to defy me? Can't you stay still?"Roxana Nelson struggled with all her might, but Juan Thomas held o

    Roxana Nelson couldn't help but laugh along. It was her nature to be playful, after all.Richard Harris looked at her affectionately, his eyes filled with tenderness that couldn't be concealed.Wearing his clothes, Roxana Nelson suddenly felt much warmer. The rain was still drizzling, and Richard Harris quickly took her hand, leading her through the rain toward his car.In the romantic and affectionate rain, a melodic male voice echoed, clear and refreshing, ideally suited for singing. Richard Harris had a good singing voice.Richard Harris was delighted that Roxana Nelson called Juan Thomas a "duck butt." The name was imposing and accurately described Juan Thomas's characteristics. Of course, that pig always considered himself the rightful heir, the half-brother from a different mother. Upon reflection, it was likely that Mr. Thomas had some deformity, which allowed this perverted womanizer to be born.He was pleased with Roxana Nelson's endearing avoidance. He had witnessed everythi

    "Is that so?""You'll understand on your own!""It's just that you only had that intention!" Roxana Nelson pouted, "Why not just say straight to my face that I'm stupid? What's the point of beating around the bush and insulting others? Truly despicable!""What?" Richard Harris raised an eyebrow, not noticing that her exposed back had left the seat and was now visible.Richard Harris struggled to grip the steering wheel, his attention momentarily diverted. He learned from the previous incident that distracted driving could lead to an accident. This time, he didn't dare to take a glance, instead tightly gripping the steering wheel, his palms sweating. He struggled to inform her, "Your back is exposed!"Roxana Nelson immediately snapped back to reality, leaning back into her seat, her face turning red.Richard Harris chuckled softly, relieved, and started the car: "Tomorrow morning, ask for a day off. I'll wait downstairs. If you don't request time off, I'll help myself.""You're quite t

    However, he didn't move at all; he tightened his grip on his hand, not because he wanted to win Roxana Nelson's favor, but if it weren't for that, he might have punched William's handsome face until it bloomed.William seemed to glance at him absentmindedly, and a barely detectable trace of mischief appeared in his beautiful eyes. Richard Harris thought he was seeing things. This little brat doesn't seem as indifferent as I imagined!"Let's go see the rabbit first!" He reminded them, but he wanted to separate the hands holding each other.Roxana Nelson hesitated and let go of William's hand, quickly asking, "Where's the rabbit?"William turned to the balcony, where a small cage with a silent rabbit lay inside. Its long ears drooped down without a hint of life. It was indeed very sick."The rabbit? The rabbit?" Roxana Nelson called softly, tears streaming down her face. Richard Harris felt his heart tighten at the sight of her pitiful appearance."Aren't you a veterinarian? Why don't y

    William maintained his expressionless face, but his words surprised Richard Harris: "Do you like Roxana?" Richard Harris laughed, "It seems like that's none of your business!" William chuckled softly, his lips curling up, but his eyes showed no amusement. His chilly and eerie tone made Richard Harris feel uncomfortable, almost wishing he could punch that handsome face right then and there. It was clear that the devilish face before him was so cold and yet still resembled the sun, while his demeanor was angelic, graceful, perfect, and noble. William's face remained emotionless, but his words caught Richard Harris off guard: "If you like Roxana, don't hurt her. Otherwise, you'll regret it!" "Oh!" Richard Harris raised an eyebrow, "What will you do to me?" William calmly responded, "I won't do anything to you. Just remember my warning." Richard Harris couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. The air around William seemed to turn colder, and his eyes held an icy glare. The

Juan's face immediately turned red with anger. How dare this woman insult him!Juan Thomas grabbed Roxana Nelson's hair and slapped her, causing her eyes to see stars. Overwhelmed with shame and anger, Juan Thomas pushed her to the ground, then straddled her, his large, slightly overweight body pressing down on her soft and delicate waist, making her cry in pain."Richard, save me!"Juan Thomas chuckled sinisterly, "Go ahead, scream! Scream until your throat bleeds, but there's no one coming to help you. Today, I will make you mine!"Roxana Nelson struggled, but Juan Thomas held her hands tightly, and with force, he tore apart her long dress, revealing her tiny, pink panties.Greedy eyes gazed at Roxana Nelson, and as Juan Thomas's lips were about to descend, Roxana Nelson screamed, "Richard, save me!"She was on the v

Kaytly, that year you didn't say a word to leave, leave this, you must suffer a lot in these years? If I hadn't left, it wouldn't have been so soon. . . . . .

    A black Maybach car stopped in front of the Welfare Institute. Son Ba Mirabel elegantly got out of the car, followed the man who immediately went up and knocked on the heavy iron door. "Excuse me, who are you looking for?" A middle-aged woman who opened the door looked slightly startled at this noble-dressed woman. "I'm looking for your Abbot Trovica." Son Ba Mirabel slowly opened her mouth, at any moment, she was elegant and noble, even if she did not use any tricks. “Ah, come in.

    Kaytly Blanche still remembers his injury, but before she had a chance to ask, he left. Did you just say or take me to the hospital? How do you go ahead? “Kaytly Blanche, can you really leave him?” Seeing Kaytly Blanche's urgency for Alex, Adam Kenneth was highly annoyed, especially this woman who was madly shouting at him because of that man. I've never seen her so urgent with him. “Adam Kenneth, can you not cause trouble on purpose? I just wanted to ask him a question. What do you do to notice that? Have you ever seen this stingy man." Faced with an unhappy Adam Kenneth, Kaytly Blanche glanced at him not resigned to her weakness. “Are you trying to cause trouble? Are you petty? How should you call it generous? Watch you hug each other?" "You and I are so new, but I can't stand it. I went to the hospital by myself and it was fine." “Hey, Kaytly Blanche, you stand there for me!” Adam Kenneth was so jealous that Kaytly Blanche was furious, because he was injured because he saved her, h

She was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly saw a familiar car, slowly driving up, not far from the apartment, stopping.

Deon nKenneth finished speaking faintly, but there was anxiety between his eyebrows that he couldn't hide. "She will definitely stay in the county shrine*.Because, she won't be able to leave the orphanage with peace of mind." Adam Kenneth seemed to know Kaytly Blanche so well, his voice indeed went without saying. "Really? I'll go find her now." Deon always believed in Adam Kenneth's words with great confidence, his face was happy and he turned around. "If she doesn't want to go back, do you have to force her?" Adam Kenneth angrily glared at Deon, a little agitated, "First of all, hurry up and take care of Her Majesty, I will find a way to get her back." Adam Kenneth finished speaking, a look of malice flashed in his eyes. Initially, in order to keep her by his side, he used the Welfare Institute to threaten her.Still,

He could only let Bonita hug him tightly, crying very painfully. . . . . . For a long time, he sighed deeply, lifted his stiff arm, and gently stroked her hair. "Bonita, it's not early, you go to rest first?" "Adam, I...." "Don't say anything ahhh... I'm brothers, understand? You want to be alone?"

Are you sure it's because of Kaytly Blanche? Following him for so many years, I have never seen him lose control because of any woman, if not for that, would I be soft or not? Don't have the courage to want to know her? Probably? He believes that Adam Kenneth loves her, he needs to be able to be by her side quietly, seeing her happy is enough.
