Quincy had already created quite a distance between the both of them before he found out that Saydie had not caught up to him, so he went back helplessly. “I really wouldn't care if you were to get lost.”Saydie lowered her eyes and retracted her gaze sadly. “It’s not like I can’t walk back by myself.”Quincy crossed his arms. “Just what are you trying to portray yourself as?”He had long realized that Saydie did not want to go back so early. Even though she did not make it clear, he had already guessed it.Christmas and New Year’s had always been a period of time dedicated to family reunions. However, she had no parents, and she had basically celebrated all these festivals with the Goldmanns throughout all these years. To her, the Goldmanns were her current family.Saydie’s parents were not in Zlokova, so it was normal for her to feel homesick, especially during this period.Saydie looked at him and said, “I’ve never played with firecrackers and fireworks.”Quincy was stunned f
At the Lovegood mansion…Aaron slapped Violet, and Rose heard the commotion from upstairs and rushed downstairs. “Dear, what are you doing?”Violet got slapped, but she did not cry or make a huge fuss about it as if the slap had not left an itch on her.Aaron was so angry that he scattered all the photos on the table. “You’re already married to Jackie and still fooling around with other men. Do you plan to irritate me to death!?”Rose walked up to Violet’s side and picked up the photos on the floor, all of which were secretly captured by the paparazzi. And they were all showing that Violet was dating another man.“Viv, what are you—” Rose lifted her head, saw Violet’s slightly inflamed cheek, and swallowed the scolding that was about to escape her mouth.After all, she and her husband were not without fault now that her daughter was behaving like this.“Are you done?” Violet pulled her long hair back and gave off a smile. “You asked me to get married, and I got married. I did ev
Thomas looked at him. “Did she just quarrel with Mr. Lovegood again?”Although he was old, his eyesight was still at its prime that, even from a distance, he could see that her cheek was swollen.And the only person who could beat her was Aaron.Because no matter how dissatisfied his grandson was with her, his grandson would never beat her.Jackie nodded.“Then just let her rest upstairs.” Thomas sighed. He then ordered the servants to prepare some food and deliver it upstairs.Maisie looked at Thomas. Thomas really did not care about Violet’s rumors. It was already very obvious whether the rumors were true or not.After lunch, Maisie strolled with Daisie in the yard, and Daisie held her hand. “Mom, is it really an unhappy incident to be forced to get married to someone?”Maisie paused for a bit and turned to look at her. “Why would you ask such a question all of a sudden?”She replied subconsciously, “Aren’t Aunt Violet and Uncle Jackie staying together because of a forced ma
The dress itself had a more playful and distinctive design, so more mature women could not handle it too well. That was why it suited young girls more.The dress looked amazing when it was on Daisie.In addition to being young and having a good temperament, she had also inherited her parents' looks.She was 14 years old this year and had already grown into a young belle. If she were to grow up, it would not surprise Violet that she would become the number one beauty in Bassburgh.“Daisie, baby, how can you be so pretty? I love it so much!” Violet hugged her and rubbed her cheek. “If I were a man, I would wait for another ten years to get you.”She really liked Daisie’s beauty so much!Daisie felt helpless.“Yo, isn’t this Ms. Lovegood?” A slender figure came out from behind. Violet’s smile disappeared as she turned around and saw a tall, red-haired woman walking toward them.All the clothes the woman had on were from high-end luxury brands, so when coupled with her exquisite ma
“We’ll leave the Lovegoods out of the equation. Even Mr. Lovegood wouldn’t say anything about me beating her. After all, his daughter is the cheap b*tch here. As for the Cliffords, will they even care about her? The Cliffords are already showing her huge mercy by not kicking her out of the family after realizing they’ve gotten themselves such a feisty and dissolute daughter-in-law.”Violet burst into laughter and placed her hand on Daisie’s shoulder. “Yeah, I’m not afraid anymore now that Daisie is covering me.”She stared at Penelope and raised her eyebrows. “You should beat her. I would also like to see the scene where Mr. Potter beats the crap out of you tomorrow.”Penelope’s face turned ashen because of Violet’s provocation, and she raised her hand.But the slap was intercepted before it could land on its target.Penelope turned her head, and her face turned pale when she saw Jackie. “Young Master Clifford, are you choosing to side with this b*tch at this moment?”‘It’s impos
Penelope was in a worse state. Her face was swollen, and her hair was messy. She looked more like a crazy woman than a socialite. Someone called the police, and they arrived quickly at the scene. “Who was fighting?”The officer saw Jackie there and was surprised. “Mr. Clifford?”Penelope pointed at Violet and said, “Officer, she hit me.”The officer looked at her and then at Violet, and he was troubled.Wasn’t she the Lovegood who had married Jackie?The officer had to be careful about what Jackie thought.Before Jackie said anything, Violet walked over to the officer. “Officer, I’ll leave with you and cooperate.”Daisie was anxious and pointed at Penelope, “My aunt didn’t start the fight. She did.”Penelope’s expression changed.The officer fell silent for a moment before taking Penelope along. Daisie wanted to go after them, but Jackie held her back. “Go home.”She pushed his hand away. “You knew that it wasn’t her fault. Why didn’t you help her?”Jackie’s expression w
After the older officer behind the desk drank his tea and tightened the cap. “Alright, you should just speak about this in private. Mr. Lovegood covered it up, so don't go prying.”The two younger officers clicked their tongues and continued working.The person outside had already walked away.Violet was having some food in the cell. She had ordered some delivery from the hotel. It was a unique situation, so they allowed her to order in. “How could you still have an appetite for good food in a place like this?”She froze when she heard Jackie’s voice but didn’t look up, “What I eat is none of your business.”“I’m not minding your business.” Jackie was calm. “Grandpa asked me to come and get you.”Violet looked around. Thomas treated her quite nicely and was lenient with her. She never understood that as a granddaughter-in-law, even though she brought shame to the Cliffords, he never once spoke against her.It was totally dark outside. The neon lights were clouded by the fog
Nolan smiled, “If you made Jackie marry her because of that, that doesn’t seem very fair to him.”Thomas looked up and cooly replied, “I would agree if they wanted a divorce because I would prefer if Viv becomes my god-granddaughter.”Jackie walked down the stairs and heard what Thomas said.Thomas wasn’t joking because he had had an arranged marriage too. He could understand how sad it was to be forced to marry a woman he didn’t love.A sense of responsibility couldn’t be forced. Even if he accepted unwillingly and chose to respect his wife, it didn’t change the way he felt for Simmone. It was mostly because she passed away when he loved her the most.It was inevitable for someone to forget a living person, but if it was a deceased person, there would be some nostalgia.When Thomas left Yaramoor, he would never have thought it would be the last time he saw her. Feelings could change, but it was hard to let go of sadness. Thomas slowly drank his tea, “I’ve already decided to
