By the time Terry woke up, it was already morning, and a drop of sunlight, through the crack of the curtain by the window, fell silently onto Terry's holy face. He glanced at the ticking clock and suddenly saw that it was already past seven in the morning, but Louis still hadn't returned.

Terry's heart was a little worried about why Louis came back so late today. Unknowingly, he remembered the first day he stayed here. At that time, Louis was beaten until his face was bruised. Could it be...

Thinking of that, Terry immediately sat up and stroked his hair, then opened the door to look outside. There were shoes on the front steps of the other motel rooms, indicating that all of Louis's colleagues had returned, which made Terry a little worried.

Terry sat there for a while, staring at the rust-strewn iron gate, waiting for Louis, but he never showed up. The clock made a "ding dong" sound, signalling it was half past seven. So Terry immediately closed the door and went to the bathroom to

    Aunt Rose, who witnessed everything and heard Miss Fortune talk about it, not only did not sympathize with Terry but also contributed a sarcastic sentence, adding fuel to the fire, "Give him dishes, and dishes is like giving eggs to a snake!"Harry saw that Terry's pitiful eyes were filled with tears. He also understood Miss Fortune's character. If he defended Terry at this time, on the contrary, it would make Miss Fortune mad. With that in mind, Harry took a deep breath and then chose the words to help Terry, "This is his first time making a mistake, and it's not what he wanted. I know the old lady has a cold mouth but a warm heart. I just hope the mistress will forgive him!"When Miss Fortune heard these words, she unconsciously suppressed her anger and took a deep breath of calm. Butterfly saw this, frowned and glanced at Aunt Rose. She saw that and lit a sentence that ignited the mistress's anger, "There was a time when I was afraid that there would be the next time.

    "Looks like I'm going to have to personally cover the mouths of these idlers who like to spread these nonsense rumours! Hurry to that brat Alex's room!" Eric said firmly.Nathan was terrified, but seeing Eric's resolute eyes, he only dared to say a word and then hid behind him.Alex's room was deep in the passageway. Because it is the room of the king of rosehip waiters, it is privileged to be separated from the wine rooms of other rosehip waiters. However, it had rained in the past few days, causing the light bulb in this corridor to fail, and accordingly, it continuously emitted flickering lights, making this place even more dreary and cold.When Eric set foot there, in addition to hearing the musty smell of the rain, he also seemed to hear a faint scent of chrysanthemum and agarwood. He glanced at the corner of the wall, only to see there was a plate of fruit placed next to a vase of flowers, in addition to an incense burner lit with a few incense sticks. The smoke looming there ma

I read it once and then signed it!"When Leo heard that, his head twitched slightly, only to see that Ilumina had quickly brought the paper in her bag to Terry's face. While Terry attentively read quickly what was written on that application, Ilumina kept asking questions about Terry's hometown and his family. Because he was being asked by a kind person to help him, Terry immediately answered quickly, thereby neglecting to carefully read the application form. Little did he know that someone was worried about him.Ilumina knows how to start a conversation. The story she tells is closely linked with the previous story, leading Terry from surprise to laughter. Finally, Illumina gently brings Terry back to reality, "How?

    When Terry heard that, he carefully memorized it, and he was determined not to make a mistake so that the incident at Miss Fortune's restaurant would not happen again. While Jenny had just passed on all the experience to Terry, it was time for everyone in the janitorial room to start their work. Because each person takes on a different floor, Terry had to temporarily say goodbye to Jenny and the staff there. Then, he held a broom, dustpan, and mop to go to the floor he was assigned. Coincidentally, the floor that he had to clean was Louis and Kyle's floor.Kyle saw Terry in his apron, smiled, and waved, "Terry!"Terry saw Louis and Kyle, and happily walked up to them, "Looking at me in this apron is really funny, isn't it?"Hearing that Terry could still laugh and joke, Louis immediately laughed, "It's not funny! It's cute. Just now I received some money from Mr Joe. Today after work, we're going to have a full breakfast!"Kyle heard that and clapped his hands and laughed, "Really? I

    When Nathan heard that, he quietly lowered his head, seemingly thinking a little in his heart. Eric did not realize what Nathan was thinking, and he replied softly, "This so-called use, or rather exploit! I've never been a chicken that licks its beak after having a full stomach. Whoever is good to me, loyal to me, of course, I will keep it in my heart to help. When the time is right, I will make you the king of rosehip waiters by my side. Your position will definitely not be lower than that of Mark and Ryan!"When Nathan heard that, it was as if he had picked up gold. The corner of his mouth constantly emitted words of gratitude to Eric. Eric curled his lips into a smile and ran his fingers through his bun, then coldly continued, "It's just that now, the appearance of that cleaner boy really makes me feel bad. This happened right in front of my eyes. It looks like this kid was recommended by Louis. It looks like he has refused to settle down, wants to use his people to star

Jenny seems to have been waiting for Tommy too; in her hand is a stuffed animal, which she was prepared to give to Tommy.Tommy seemed to have a smile on his face. Because he was wearing a mask, the smile only showed through his eyes, but even so, Jenny felt warm inside. She just heard Tommy softly say, "You usually have to stay up all night working here. Why don't you spend the day resting, but sew me these teddy bears!"Jenny waved her arms and legs, using body language to tell Tommy that, because he had helped her so much, the teddy bears she often gave him were just a small gift in return.Tommy smiled softly and did not forget to take out a paper packet of medicine and give it to Jenny, telling her to take her medicine on time, so that her heart disease could be relieved.

    The other Rosehip waiter waved his hand and said, "Speak softly!"Their conversation was overheard by Ryan and Mark, who were now extremely angry.

Now, what are we supposed to do? "Just to hear Mark grit his teeth and say, "Looks like if I don't take action, this damned sl^t will ruin our business!" Just as he said that sentence, Mark called out Christian's name.When his name was called, Christian quickly walked over to Mark.

    Jenny gave a small shake to her head "Things are no longer the same. I can honestly say that I have lost all of my feelings. It's all because I've been able to call Miss White, my adoptive mother, my home. But she was killed by that elderly lady, Miss Rose, and he still allowed this evil man to continue living, and he staged a suicide drama in which she drank poison! So you see, I don't really make promises!"While he was considering something, Stephen's eyes narrowed and he finally said, "You have always had my complete and utter love, but you have never shown it in return. If you choose to acknowledge this reality, the days to come will undoubtedly be filled with glory!"Jenny gave just a hint of a smile "Love me? You just love yourself! You have created us out of thin air as meaningless playthings. You have no right to use the word "love" in any context. The next few days will continue to be very long. I'm sure you will soon receive your retribution!"Stephen scratched his chin ner

    After that, Stephen gave a slight nod of the head and said, "You have a valid point! Will you also conduct a blood type analysis to determine whether or not Terry's blood type is compatible with the donor's blood type?"Jenny expressed a modicum of surprise. "Because Stephen's identity is so unique, I don't understand why you would be so inconsiderate as to do this. In addition to that, you've always had a fear of needles."Stephen gave a subtle grin at the outer corners of his eyes and then quietly responded, saying: "Do you care about this topic at all now? Don't stress yourself out too much; starting today, I will take care of everything for you!"After that, Jenny did not offer any further comments. There was this particular sentence that Stephen had written. The fact that he appeared in front of him was indeed not a waste.

    Actually, Eric is bringing money to Terry. With this money, he will forever leave this city and no longer appear in front of Harry as per their pre-determined contract, so Harry will only belong to Eric. Thinking of this, Eric's lips involuntarily had a slight smile. Because this smile was so gentle, it quickly disappeared because the image of Stephen's majesty appeared in Eric's mind. Now that Eric is Stephen's man, even without Terry by Harry's side, their relationship still needs to be kept secret. Suddenly, Eric wondered if he was doing it at Stephen's fault.

Let's check to see if Stephen is interested in playing a game of chance with me." Mr Black said arrogantly.Stephen found this to be a very challenging situation, and as a result, he quickly nodded his head. "Of course! I have no qualms about going head-to-head with any of the best golfers in the world, much less someone who is brand new to the game like you are!""All right, let's put it to the test!" After Mr. Black finished saying this, he looked over at Mark and gave him a wink. Mark cracked a grin and cast a glance in the direction of Kyle, who was standing nervously behind Stephen."Stephen, I'm sorry to say that I'm not a very good golfer!" - Kyle said."

"Terry, if you still owe Louis gratitude, you owe it to me to get your assistance with this!"Miss Rose finally unlocked the gate so that she could lead Louis inside the mansion while they were on the grounds of the mansion. Louis was unable to contain his excitement when he saw Miss Rose and asked, "Stephen has allowed me to return to the mansion?" when he saw her.Miss Rose sneered at the person before her and said, "If it weren't for Stephen, I certainly wouldn't have opened this door to welcome someone as wasteful and ignorant as you." Stephen is in the dining room, hurry up and meet him!"Louis bowed his head in obedience and quietly followed Miss Rose.

    At first, Kyle did not comprehend the reason behind Louis' absence from the Pearl Mansion in the afternoon so that they could share a meal together. But from the look on Stephen's face, Kyle was able to deduce that there was some sort of misunderstanding between Louis and him, so he whispered to Stephen: "I'm sorry. Even though it's midnight, Louis hasn't stopped calling you. Perhaps he is busy with something important, or perhaps you should pick up the phone and call him back!"Stephen smiled faintly: "Didn't you just say that? Midnight has arrived. Louis ought to be aware that I'm having a good time with you. It goes without saying that we should proceed. Nevertheless, would you be able to turn off all of the lights?"Stephen wanted to turn off all the lights because he wanted to feel the most intact of Jessica's familiar scent and gestures, not wanting to be interrupted by Kyle's unfamiliar face.Kyle was smart enough to know what he could make Stephen like, so he obediently obeyed

Tim asked, "Why did you come to Stephen's mansion?" after finally voicing the question that had been on his mind.In a low voice, Louis responded, "Since the Happy Hill Pub has closed down, I'm in need of a shoulder to cry on. The Pearl Mansion is an outstanding location!""Is it really due to the fact that Happy Hill Pub has closed down? Because of this, you decided to visit Pearl Mansion. Or is it actually because you went to Pearl Mansion, which caused Happy Hill Pub to close down as a result?" - Tim asked.After that, Louis sneered at her: "If that is what you want to hear, then I won't bother trying to hide it anymore. Because I am already aware of every detail regarding the incident involving Jerry, I am also familiar with everyone who was involved in the matter. Obviously, I comprehend the reasons behind your decision to withhold infor

    "I have it on good authority from a mutual friend that Stephen is a big fan of this jasmine perfume. Stephen will most certainly pay attention to it so long as you spritz it on your body at the appropriate time and tell him that you gave him this perfume bottle. You've opened the door for me to speak with him by flattering me, thank you very much." He pursed his lips in concentration.The skepticism of Louis: "An acquaintance? Do you happen to know any of Stephen's hobbies? Is it possible that this is Eric's acquaintance?"Louis was correct in his guess! In point of fact, Kyle did not set out to do any of this in the beginning. The previous time, after rescuing Kyle from the gangsters in the burning house, Eric's plan was to use Kyle to give himself a chance to return to Stephen's camp. Kyle was the one who saved Eric. The first stage of Eric's plan was to make it as easy as possible for Kyle to enter Pearl Mansion, which would pave the way for Eric to come back later.However, becaus

I acknowledge that you were once Cerberus's Claws; however, I encourage you to reconsider your position. Where do you live? I will call a taxi for you and give the driver some money."After Johnson had finished speaking that sentence, his underclassmen paid attention and listened. Terry felt a little bit of fear. Is it possible that he had previously offended Stephen, which is why he took his frustration out on the Happy Hill Pub?Harry, who was struggling against himself, was eventually dragged away. Terry rushed to Harry's aid after observing the other thugs deliver a severe blow to him, and he pushed the other thugs away while asking them, "Why are you guys hitting other people like this?"Harry realized that Terry was there and pushed him away: "Terry, go away!"Johnson glanced at Terry o
