“You are so stupid Edmund, how can you not know the gem is fake,” Daisy cursed at her husband.
“How could I know it was a fake? It was auctioned off by the head of the jewelers’ association, and even Bernard Bass was disappointed because he lost to me. If you know how we fight over the auction price,” Edmund argued.
“But the proof is, it shattered when it fell and hit the marble floor. Why don’t you check the gems before you buy them.”
The husband and wife kept fighting in the car. It made Catherine who was with them feel uncomfortable because of the commotion. Her mother not only cursed, but also hit her husband with a

Hurry and get me some cold lemonade!” Daisy shouted. The son-in-law who was about to enter his room stopped for a moment.While his wife raised her palm and prevented her husband to walk on. The blonde woman turned around as soon as she saw her husband did not take a step towards his mother. She firmly said to her mother.“Did you forget the deal you made with Nicko?” Josephine asked fiercely.Daisy, who had stretched her legs on the sofa, stood up immediately, because she didn’t like being opposed by her daughter.“What did you say? Deal? What deal?” Josephine smiled sarcastically at her mother, who either forgot or pretended.

It was very comfortable in the past, because more sunlight entered the room. But in the current situation, they certainly had to be careful, in case Armando came and hurt her again.The hot weather made Nicko have to take his t-shirt off. Showing his chest and abs which is like a bread and fine hair that grows below the navel to the bottom.Sometimes Josephine teased her husband by hugging him from behind and stroking his abs.“Hmm, what’s wrong, honey?

How long have you been there?” Jo reprimanded then.“Now you can sleep well in your room, Cat. I’ve added a window for you,” Nicko said.“Thank you. I’m sorry if I’ve always been rude to you,” he replied regretfully.“Forget it,” Nicko said casually.The young man also looked at his wife who was looking down while playing with her fingers, as if something was on her mind.

Everyone seemed to wait for an explanation from him, except for Josephine, who was trying to calm Catherine down.“How could you brainwash all my granddaughters?” Grandma asked, stamping her cane.Nicko, who had just arrived, of course did not understand the old woman who was sitting in a special chair for her means. A chair with a high back that confirms his status as the most respected figure by the Windsor family.“Sorry, what do you mean, Grandma?” Nicko asked carefully, because he doesn’t want to offend her.“Never mind, Grandma, just teach him a lesson. People like him, of course, won’t want to admit their mistakes. It’s good to be given a place to live here by Uncle Edmund, but it turns out that he doesn’t

This commercial center was quite busy a few years ago, but business competition gradually deserted it.Many buildings are not maintained around here, some even burned. This is where they will catch Bernard Bass and Ralph Simmons.“That’s right, Young Master, the two of them will do a profit-sharing transaction here,” Russell said.Nicko took a deep breath and looked around. There were only a few people there, and a car with four of Russell’s men.“Relax, Young Master, you’ll got what yours. Adam Reinhart was here already, “ Russell said reassuringly.Don’t know why Ni

"So this is your doing?" asked Nicko angrily. This time her face was red and her eyes were staring intently ahead."Ha ha ha why? Does this sound painful to you? It's good that this sounds painful to you. At least this way you will know who you are dealing with, and you can think again about betraying my daughter!”Watson, you! Nicko rage. This time he was really angry that he couldn't say anything else. His hands began to clench tightly and cursed at the man who called him. No one ever thought that Robert Watson, Camilla's father, was involved in kidnapping his wife and child now.“You bastard Watson, what do you want! I warned you that I would never betray your daughter. It was just a silly game in childhood!” Nick replied.“Silly childhood game you say? It's a shame that until now my daughter still expects you and I still think of you as my son-in-law.

The man Josephine knew folded his arms across his chest and walked over to Josephine. "You wanna know why I'm here? Of course because I want to meet you sweetheart.”Of course, that man was Gerlad Jones, the most selfish man Josephine had ever known.“Aren't you tired of bothering me all the time? Don't you already know that you and I are no longer related?" Josephine replied curtly.Gerald immediately crouched down and leveled his position with Josephine. This time he gently touched Josephine's cheek and disgusted her former lover.Josephine seemed to push away Gerald's hand which kept trying to touch her. The more Josephine dodged the more he liked to tease her.“Your skin is still smooth and soft, only now you are a little different. You seem a bit stocky. Is it possible that you're already pregnant with that jerk's child?” asked Gerald as he whispered in Josephine's ear and started licking it.Josephine shuddered in horror, she almost admitted that she was now pregnant.

Now they also thought of taking a break, after all last night Jo had said that she wanted to share.With the help of Owen and Jacklyn, they spread out a table and put some food boxes there which will be given to anyone who needs them for free. This time it wasn't just Jo who looked so happy, but also Ian, because he hadn't spent time with his adoptive father in a long time.As soon as Nicko finished clearing the table and putting down some food, a middle-aged woman in shabby clothes came up to them. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he seemed to be a homeless person."Sir, is this given for free?" the woman ask

At this time Andrew Young really pressed. He really didn't expect that he would suffer such a fate.The person he once underestimated suddenly turned things around in just a few minutes. In the past, he underestimated the Watson family because they had an economy class below him.Especially with Nicko, he had never taken the young man into account at all. Precisely thinks Nicko is like a pest that must be eradicated immediately. But now he is the pest. Even Chuck who became his ally also blamed him.“Chuck, you don't think about me anymore? Don't you remember our previous good relationship?" asked Master Young in a voice that sounded quivering with sorrow.Chuck shook his head and said again, “Didn't you hear what my uncle said earlier? We Watsons absolutely do not welcome a liar. Now you better get out of here!”"Chuck you,—" Andrew no longer continued his words. Instantly his lips were numb and could not say anything else.It was then that Mr. Watson immediately called his housekeep

Now that he heard the news that his youngest son had committed suicide, his life was completely ruined at this point.With unsteady steps, he walked towards the stage again. At that time he had seen the ravaged state. Everything was full of trash and no one was there.He walked unsteadily, but suddenly a waiter came to chase him, "Sorry Mr. Young, this is the bill for tonight's event!"It was then that Andrew Young immediately patted his forehead and muttered that he had almost forgotten the bill he had to pay off. When renting this place, he only paid half of the total banking services ordered by him.Currently, he can still breathe a sigh of relief because, in his account balance, there is still money remaining for the cost of paying off this event. But after that, he didn't know what to do. Not even sure I could buy a plane ticket back to Northern Hill.The only way back to Northern Hi

Andrew Young was struck by the statement of his former bodyguard. What's more, they actually restrained him and made him no longer able to move and bait the people who were now hunting him.In fact, now that he's really stuck, no one can help him. Wanted to scream and ask Matthew for help but now the young man is not with him anymore. Then, Mr Watson, he should be a man he can rely on. While Chuck is actually an ally of his. But their positions were too far away and it was impossible for her to scream.Even if he had shouted for their help, before Chuck had come here he would have been battered and bruised.Now all he could do was bully his former bodyguard again into protecting him. The bodyguards he had dismissed were a bunch of chubby bums. By giving them even a glimmer of hope, they would definitely move to protect him, no matter how difficult the obstacles he had to face.“Hey you guys, quickly save me! Do your duty as a bodyguard. Don't act stupid and piss me off so you guys tot

He kept calling her and asking her to come back.But unfortunately, when he just got off the stage he was intercepted by several people who had bought the medicine.One of them is Mr. Austin. He stood holding out his hand and blocking her from leaving. "Where are you going? Immediately take responsibility for what you have done to us! Give us our money back!”Some who had bought the drug also helped Mr Austin. They all seemed to surround him.“Quickly give us our money back!” cried the people shouting angrily.Andrew Young actually shook his head and tried to refuse, "No...no, you already know that if the items that have been purchased cannot be returned."But the people didn't want to understand and said to him loudly, “No you can't, this money has to be returned because you have committed fraud. Hurry back now or we will force you to take responsibility!” said Mr. Austin, pointing at him

Andrew Young smiled and shook his head, “Of course not sir. That price is a very commensurate price for what you get.”“Humph, you must want to rob us by paying such a large fee! I don't want to buy!” exclaimed one of the visitors.Andrew Young smiled sarcastically and said, “I have no intention of robbing you. I set a fair price as you can see at Mr. Watson's birthday party, and also the changes in me. You all have even touched me and felt the difference. So I think 2.5 billion is really worth it.”The visitors who surrounded him also spoke like a buzzing beetle. After that, he spoke again by giving an explanation of everything. “Don't all of you know that in our youth we spend a lot of time working hard, thinking about many things even makes us forget to eat and lack sleep. Often we have to eat fast food to save time. Don't you all realize the consequences of our old habits? Gradually everything becomes a disease that accumulates and paralyzes the cells in our body.
