“Sorry for making you wait so long,” Daisy said suddenly, surprising the Law couple and their lawyer.

Caroline took a deep breath as soon as she saw her presence. Adrian’s mother seemed anxiously waiting for news from Daisy.

“Oh, don’t let my offer be canceled by her,” Caroline thought.

Previously, she had discussed with her husband to add to the offer so that Daisy dropped the lawsuit for her only son. Adrian is their most valuable treasure. Of course, they will do anything for the happiness of the child.

Louis grabbed his wife’s wrist and stroked it. He tried to make sure that everything would work out, and that she wouldn’t have to be sad anymore.

“Sorry, I just had a discussion with my two daughters,” Daisy said.

The more Edmund’s wife talked, t

    Josephine hadn’t gotten out of her husband’s car yet, even though the white van had stopped in front of her hotel. The woman looked so stiff and kept looking down.“Are you still thinking about your mother’s conversation with the Law family?” Nicko asked, glancing at Jo.Josephine sighed in annoyance. That wasn’t the only thing weighing on Jo’s mind this time. But the events of recent times deserved to fill his head.“Not only that, and I know for sure that Mom will continue to press me to see Adrian. If that’s the case, I don’t need to worry too much about all this, because you definitely won’t stay silent if Adrian does something inappropriate to me,” Jo said .“Well that’s true, dear.

    Nicko’s facial muscles tensed immediately when he heard his wife’s words. He seemed to suspect that Josephine knew who he really was.“What’s the matter with Young Master Lloyd?” Nicko ventured to ask his wife.Josephine immediately changed her standing position to face her husband. He slightly brought his face closer to the man who was with him.“Do you think Young Master Lloyd has a particular purpose for me?” Josephine whispered, suspecting her boss.Nicko just kept silent hearing his wife’s guess. He let his wife continue to talk and convey all his conjectures. It’s no secret that a woman has a million times to talk.They are initially very irritating in speaking, but once they find the right topic, partner or moment, it will be difficult to stop.

But it was also the name that brought him to be side by side with the most coveted woman in Westcoast Town.Nicko’s face got a little firmer. This time, his feelings messed up when he heard that name. In his heart, he was jealous and worried that the woman he married still remembered about the figure of Gerald Jones.“Do you remember him?” Nicko asked in an even tone.Aware of the change in her husband’s facial expression because of his words, Josephine hastily corrected her words. She didn’t want to have a fight with her husband this time.The problems experienced by Josephine are quite severe, especially the day after tomorrow her father is sc

But just as he turned around, a palm slapped his shoulder hard.“Hey you haven’t answered my question. What did you come here for?” Greg asked.“Huh, whatever I do, I think it’s none of your business,” Nicko said.This time Josephine’s husband was not in the mood to fight. The problem he faced this time was really strange. He himself also gets the most turn to look after his in-laws.“Sigh, you are so arrogant. Of course, this is my business, because you have entered our area,” Greg replied in a lofty tone.The man whose body was shorter than Nicko, looked up at him. His green eyes stared intently with hatred.

Right now his heart was beating fast, thinking about the consequences he would receive for being so disrespectful to Raina’s guest.The officer quickly bowed and apologized to Nicko.

    "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?

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.

    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

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.

    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.

    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.
