Cecilia wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes nonchalantly. Her eyeliner had smudged, making her makeup look horrible, "I'll wire you the money in an hour.""Thank you, Ms. Samford."After she took the flash drive from that person's hand, she left the company, too.Downstairs, Blake smiled and bent over as she looked at Zach's car leave, "Mr. Jardin, drive slowly and have a safe journey ahead.""Good job!" Kevin said.Blake grinned, "Mr. Harrison, isn't this what you told me? You told me connections are worth more than anything in the workplace."I was just trying to get Mr. Jardin's attention. Who knows if he'll give me a promotion and a raise someday, right? I can use the money to get myself some young boyfriends. Hehe..."However, what Kevin said next completely killed her mood."Are you trying to take my position?""Mr. Harrison, that's not what I meant at all."Kevin scoffed, "I'm going to deduct your salary for discussing non-work-related matters during worki
Zach got the Arnold residence, yet he was willing to hand it over to someone else. He did not think that it was a big deal at all.He already had everything from wealth to status, but none meant anything to him anymore now that he had them.He knew what he truly desired.He can live without the Arnold residence. In fact, he could even provide her with a better place than Southern Haven Villas.He felt a sense of belonging with her. It filled the void within him.The photographer took pictures of Dalton in the flower room for his first birthday. It was originally scheduled earlier but got delayed until today.Dalton wore a fairy-like costume and was sitting in the middle of a pile of flowers. He looked at Madelyn, who was standing behind the photographer, and smiled happily.Madelyn was holding his favorite yellow duck to keep him entertained. Other than Dalton, there was another person's gaze who never left her as well throughout the entire shoot.Zach ashed his cigarette, his
"What are you doing?" Madelyn looked at the man who had just manhandled her and spoke.The natural exchange caught the photographer's attention, and he quickly pressed the shutter. That was the only one he was happy with among his other photos.The dissatisfaction in Madelyn's eyes looked just like a playful banter between two married couples to outsiders.After the photoshoot, Zach disregarded the child and carried Madelyn out of the room.There were a few other staff members in the flower room. They watched what happened and secretly envied their lovely interaction.Madelyn felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head. When they arrived back at the mansion, Zach placed her on the sofa."Don't do that to me in front of other people anymore. I'm not used to it."The maid came over and handed Zach the supplements. "From now on, you'll need to get used to being 'Mrs. Jardin'."Madelyn looked at him with a puzzled expression, feeling somewhat stunned, "So, what the newspapers wr
All the maids held their breath, not daring to make a sound. It seemed like they had learned something extraordinary.They finally knew why; although Zach showered Madelyn with affection, she never reciprocated it.Margaret was holding Dalton as she walked toward the door. Before she went inside, she heard the sound of something breaking and felt Dalton trembling in her arms. She was worried that he might start crying at such a critical moment. Considering Zach's temper, Margaret feared he might do something bad to Dalton. So, she quickly went somewhere else with him.The atmosphere turned tense as the maids silently left.Until there were only the two of them left in the living room, Zach paused. He looked at the dejected expression on Madelyn's face and felt somewhat annoyed.They had fought countless times. Zach had always been a strong-willed person. However, for her sake, he had repeatedly set aside his pride to make up for his past mistakes.Perhaps Madelyn's tears were Zac
Zach carried Madelyn back to the room and told one of the maids to get her a new dose of supplements.Zach placed her on the bed and looked at her, who appeared calm and emotionless. "A wedding dress set will be sent from France in a week. You can try it then. If you're unsatisfied with it, you can choose another one."Madelyn's reddened eyes were resentful as she said, "Get out!"After tucking her in, Zach closed the door and went outside. A decorative item fell on the floor with a loud bang, breaking into two pieces.When everything fell into silence, the sky had already darkened. The sound of flowing water echoed in the bathroom, and the sink was stained with a large patch of blood. Madelyn had tried countless times to remove the ring from her finger. Despite using the scissors and enduring the excruciating pain, Madelyn still could not take the ring off. The area where her fingers were cut was a blurred mess of flesh and blood, revealing white bone at her delicate fingertips.
There was also a large bottle of Coke placed next to her. The female servants all covered their mouths and chuckled, "Look, Mr. Turner's pet is so interesting. All she does is eat and sleep."Her face is so chubby. She looks just like a piglet."Mya listened to their conversation and felt like a fool. She was smart enough to know that they were simply mocking her for eating a lot and looked just like a pet pig kept by someone.She could pretend not to hear them, but over time, she would eventually be bothered by their comments.Mya stopped eating the chicken drumstick in her hand, no longer finding it appetizing. At that moment, she was dejected. She thought she must have stayed here for so long that everyone was starting to get annoyed by her presence.'Maybe it's better to go home,' she thought to herself. Although it was nice to be there and to be able to eat all kinds of different foods to satisfy her appetite every day. However, she was not expecting her baby to grow so big a
Cecilia's pupils instantly widened. When she saw Fred wanting to pull the trigger, she finally felt the full extent of his sinister malice."No, you can't do this. Fred, you can't kill me!"In the Ventropolis Prison, even the worst criminals entering could not leave alive.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door."Mr. Turner, something's wrong with Ms. Harper."Fred patted Cecilia's face with a cold and sinister smile. "If you ever try to pull something like this again, I'll show you how it feels like to be used by twenty men at the same time."Mya curled up on the sofa in pain as her tears dampened the pillow. "Doctor, is my baby going to die?"It hurts so much!"Fred hurriedly came down from upstairs. His military boots tapped on the ground, creating the sound of hasty footsteps. His eyes were filled with a hint of worry as he asked, "What's going on? What baby?"Mya held the pillow against her stomach. She lifted her head, and her eyelashes were soaked in tears. "Fred, my sto
The entire hall was filled with the strong aroma of the barbeque Mya had eaten earlier, something no one in the prison would eat."When would you like her to come visit you?""Let's see when Madelyn's available. She's a very busy person, and I don't want to disrupt her schedule," Mya said.Mya suddenly thought about something and added, "Fred, what did the doctor say about my baby? Is it still alive in my body?"Fred smiled. "Do you like this baby?"Mya nodded. "Yeah.""Stay here then. The doctor said you need to take good care of yourself during this time and not go anywhere."Mya touched her stomach as a worried and conflicted expression grew on her face. "But I miss Mom and Dad. I want to go home.""Your stomach won't stop hurting unless you listen to the doctor. I'll have your parents come to visit you tomorrow. How about that?""Never mind. Mom said that Dad has heart problems and shouldn't run around." Mya lay on Fred's lap and raised her hand toward him. "Fred, I've bee
