Jasper had no choice but to accept this reality. Elio stepped into the car, and the vehicle slowly began its departure from Morrison Residence.In the back seat, Elio quietly observed the passing scenery outside the window, his lips betraying a subtle smile that he couldn't suppress. Equally delighted, Sean chimed in, "Congratulations, Mr. Hoffis." Breaking his silence with an unusual response, Elio replied, "Thank you." He appeared genuinely in a good mood. However, before allowing Elio to revel too much in it, Sean posed a sobering question, "Mr. Hoffis, how do you plan to gain approval from Mrs. Hoffis?" Elio's expression instantly darkened. Inside the car, silence reigned. Meanwhile, in the living room of Morrison Residence, everyone received the news and hurried back home.Daniel and Sienna were left astounded when they learned that Candice had proposed to Elio in front of the family. Seated among her family, Candice found herself bombarded with questions from al
The Wrong Woman Chapter 918
Once a girl reached adulthood, it was time for her to tie the knot. As Candice reveled in her happiness, she remained unaware of her family's underlying concerns regarding her forthcoming marriage. Marrying Elio was far from a simple endeavor; it required the approval of his parents. The next day, Elio assembled extravagant engagement gifts himself, emphasizing the significance. In the living room, Sean diligently inspected the gifts until the door swung open unexpectedly. Michaela, accompanied by Josie, stepped inside. "Good day, Mrs. Hoffis, Ms. Hudson," Sean greeted them respectfully. Michaela's warm smile radiated as she asked, "Are these the engagement gifts for Josie?" Sean wiped his forehead, stealing a glance toward the bedroom, silently hoping for Elio's timely arrival. Approaching with an authoritative air, Michaela addressed Sean, "I'm asking you a question." Nervously, Sean responded, "They're for Ms. Morrison." Josie's expression dimmed slightly. With a

Elio loaded the car with all the engagement gifts and drove away from the villa. Josie supported Michaela as they walked to the entrance, her expression troubled as she watched the car disappear into the distance. Michaela remained silent while Josie's eyes blazed with barely contained anger. She spoke softly, "Mrs. Hoffis, although Candice is a spoiled little princess and may not be suitable for Leo, if he loves her, let him marry her. Please don't worry about my feelings. I'm fine with it." Josie's approach was strategic, hoping to elicit sympathy from Michaela and gain more support. Unexpectedly, Michaela sighed lightly and said, "It's Elio who isn't suitable for that young lady from the Morrison family." Stunned, Josie stared at Michaela in disbelief. Michaela continued in a soft voice, "That young lady is like a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse, pure as a blank sheet of paper. She deserves someone as innocent as her, not my son." Her implication was clear. El

After listening to Florence, Sienna glanced at Elio. Elio nervously swallowed, his mind racing with worry that Sienna might reject his proposal to Candice. His hands, damp with sweat, fidgeted against his pants, a clear sign of his anxiety. Sienna lifted the envelope slightly, saying, "Elio, actually…" Before Sienna could finish her sentence, Elio bowed his head. He was trembling with nerves. "Aunt Sienna, I will cherish Candice even more than you do. Please, allow me to marry her."Sienna was taken aback. Daniel chuckled softly, murmuring, "Look at what you've done to poor Elio."Sienna quickly explained, "I just wanted to say that all these formalities aren't necessary. Our family is very easygoing; we won't make things difficult for you two young people."Elio breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Aunt Sienna.""Please, have a seat," Sienna gestured, taking her own seat and motioning for him to do the same.Elio sat down, picked up his cup, and took a sip, looking visib

The Morrisons had always doted on Candice.Upon her request, they responded with warm smiles, saying, "Certainly, you two take care of it.""Thank you, Grandpa Gary and Grandma Florence," Elio expressed with sincerity, "and to Uncle Daniel and Aunt Sienna, thank you as well."Elio's eyes gleamed with gratitude, a gentle curve gracing his lips.Observing his joy, Candice couldn't help but feel a warmth blossom inside her.Elio maintained his hold on her hand, discreetly caressing it when no one was looking.Even after dinner at Morrison Residence, Elio remained in good spirits. He joined the elders for a few extra drinks, relishing their animated discussions about life.Meanwhile, Candice retreated to her room to freshen up and prepare for bed."Leo, you've had a few too many drinks. It's not safe for you to drive. Why don't you stay the night?" Gary's speech was slurred from the alcohol's influence.Just as Elio was considering the offer, Florence stepped in, placing her hand

After their kiss, Candice found herself breathless.Reluctantly, Elio withdrew from her tender lips, their foreheads meeting as they exchanged heavy, tangled breaths.The atmosphere in the room grew charged, infused with an undeniable sense of desire.Feeling shy and overwhelmed, Candice lowered her eyes, unable to muster the courage to meet Elio's intense gaze."I should go now," Elio broke the silence, his voice barely above a whisper."Okay," Candice replied softly."Perhaps if you find the time, you should come and see me more often," Elio murmured gently.Candice felt a pang of confusion. Why was it up to her to initiate their dates?"Can't you be the one to come visit me?" Candice whispered.Elio suppressed a smile, his lips curling slightly. "I could. It's just that your family is always around, and your office is quite busy."Candice now understood his implication. He preferred meeting in private, either in his office or at home.In a gentle tone, she replied, "Sure.

Candice's lips formed a gentle smile as she nodded in acknowledgment.Reaching for a piece of candy, Josie couldn't help but let out a sigh. "You know, Mrs. Hoffis actually prepared all these sweets for me. It seems like he's just trying to cut corners by re-gifting them to you."Candice's smile gradually faded at Josie's words.As if realizing her mistake, Josie swiftly attempted to backtrack, offering a feigned apology, "I'm sorry, Candice. I was just speaking my mind. I hope I didn't upset you."Candice forced a polite smile and shook her head."I sincerely wish both of you a lifetime filled with love and happiness," Josie added."Thank you," Candice replied.As Josie savored her coffee, she couldn't help but cast a cold glance at the scattered candies on the table, feeling a twinge of resentment stirring within her.Placing her cup back on the table, she began, "I'm here today to talk about Elio.""Sure, go ahead," Candice responded."Do you have any idea why Leo decided
The Wrong Woman Chapter 924
As Josie vanished from sight, Candice retrieved her phone, promptly settling the bill for the two coffees before departing herself.On her way back to the office, she couldn't resist glancing at her phone to check the date.With the wedding arranged by the Hoffis family for Josie and Elio just over 20 days away, the pressure on Josie must have been mounting.Despite this, Candice's inner resolve rang clear. "As long as Elio remains unattached and still wishes to marry me, I'll hold firm in my carefree, love-struck state, regardless of others' opinions."However, there was one thing she couldn't tolerate—betrayal.…As the evening approached and the workday persisted, Candice's phone buzzed with a message from Jasper."Candice, I've received orders from Uncle Elio. Starting today, I won't be able to give you rides home. He'll be handling that instead."Candice swiftly replied, "But we travel the same route, unlike him."Jasper responded, "That's true, but he's the one calling t

Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"

Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

"If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
