Bianca did not expect to see Jack Norman when their car passed through the town where the project was located. Jack was wearing a casual farming uniform and leading a group of officials to the countryside. He had his sleeves rolled up as he led the way. He was talking to the villagers in a kind voice and had a friendly presence. He even occasionally bent over to help the villagers pick vegetables. Bianca was sitting in the car where she saw him through the window. There was an indescribable warm feeling growing in her heart. It was her father. Only when the car drove far away and Jack was the size of an ant did Bianca turn away. … Bianca took the project managers to the destination proposed by Zayne in his bidding proposal to survey the place. The location that Zayne mentioned was a barren mountain in Bay Town that had not been mined before. The area was about several thousand acres and was about six kilometers away from the famous Deer River, a loca
Bianca's decision annoyed several of the project managers. However, they knew that it was not the right time to refute her. They held in their anger and went on with the so-called field survey. Zayne admired Bianca. Bianca was not afraid of hardships and easily made her way through the mountain. He suddenly smiled when he looked at her thin but strong back. When Mr. Crawford was still around, Zayne had mentioned this project to him. Mr. Crawford thought that the plan was feasible and asked him to prepare a detailed bidding proposal, but before he could even give the proposal to Mr. Crawford, something happened to him.Unexpectedly, his wife shared the same opinion as him. Even though everyone opposed the project, she went forward with it firmly. Luke would be proud of his courageous wife! …Noon. Bianca and the others dined in the folk houses at the foot of the mountain. Although the scenery of Bay Town was beautiful, it was located in a remote
At the end of the meal, Mr. Norman chatted with Bianca in private about the details of developing the mountainous area. He would support Bianca's decision to develop a residential area there. Bianca hesitated before letting Mr. Norman know her concerns. "I've surveyed the geography of this area, Uncle Jack. The existing conditions aren't anything special, but the environment here is amazing. If T Corporation embarks on this project, I'm not too worried about technical challenges like carving the mountain or dredging the water channels. Instead, I'm concerned about connecting the area to the public transport network…" T Corporation's engineering team was top-notch, and Bianca was not worried about the technical aspects. What she worried about was that the remote area was not connected to any public transport lines. For many house-buyers, accessibility to public transport was a major factor. It would also cause the area to develop rapidly. If the residential area was poorly con
Kassy knew that Luke was extremely charming even when he was unconscious. When he opened his eyes, the world seemed to have lost all color. His gaze was ice-cold, but it was stunning! Kassy's heart started to beat faster as she looked into the man's bewitching eyes. She produced a clear crystal ball in her right hand. The crystal ball emanated a warm yet dazzling glow. Luke's sharp gaze became unfocused when he looked at the crystal ball. "Relax your body. You are now floating in a warm and endless ocean. The gentle moonlight envelops this beautiful world. You can hear the waves gently lapping on the beach. See the moon rising about the wisp-like clouds in the sky. Shh… do you hear the seagulls? Relax. You are in a comfortable state…" The man on the bed seemed to be hypnotized. Kassy smiled and brazenly caressed the man's handsome face. "Luke Crawford, CEO of T Corporation. Your reputation precedes you. I've never been interested in businessmen, but you've successfully piqu
Moscow. The cold winter wind whistled past the thriving city, and heavy snow covered the city in a silvery blanket. The pure-white snowflakes that were scattered in the air brought light to the dimly lit city. It was an especially cold night, and there were not many pedestrians walking on the streets. It was rare that the bustling city got so quiet. A sleek black Bentley limousine drove on the snow-covered streets, unhindered by the heavy snowfall. In a dark alley, several tall and burly hooligans in tattered clothes and wielding weapons drooled as they stared lecherously at two beautiful foreign young women. Snowflakes landed on the girls' long hair and melted. Their curvaceous bodies could be vaguely seen under their thick down jackets. It was a tantalizing sight. The hooligans exchanged glances, flashed a perverted smile, and spoke teasingly in Russian, "These two chicks are not bad. It's been a long time since I've tasted foreign flesh. They look small and cute, but
T Corporation. Bianca named the development project Longing Greens. She was longing for a man, waiting for a man. The man was the indelible mark in her heart. Her heart was like a barren field, and he was like the rain. When Longing Greens would be completed in the future, she hoped that her rain would come back to her too. … Construction work on Longing Greens started, but T Corporation faced another problem. They had temporarily removed themselves from the collaboration project with Vivi Group because of certain problems. Now that news about Luke's death had spread, Vivi Group took the opportunity to seek compensation from T Corporation for breaching the contract. Bianca was not going to let Vivi Group get what they wanted. She immediately called an emergency meeting and decided that they would pursue all legal avenues. While legal proceedings were ongoing, T Corporation ran into problems with its funding chain. Without funding, construction work on Longing Greens
Jack was not surprised by Queenie's decision. Even if she did not mention it, he would discuss it with her some time soon anyway. They needed to be reunited with their birth daughter. Jack sighed and said, "I'd love to be reunited with our daughter too. A few days ago, I met Bianca at Bay Town. It hurts to see her right in front of me, but I can't get any closer to her, and it… breaks my heart to see her so thin and haggard." Queenie washed her hands with the tap next to the easel, then returned to her rattan chair and massaged her neck. "I don't think I can wait any longer, Jack. We should go to visit the Crawfords this weekend, tell them the truth, and reunite with our birth daughter!" She had chronic cervical spondylosis. If she lowered her head for extended periods, she would suffer from intense sharp pain in her neck. Seeing what his wife was doing, Jack took off his coat, placed it on the rack, and began to massage Queenie's neck and shoulders. To alleviate his wife's
When she heard her daughter sleep-talking, Bianca could not help but reach out and gently hold Rainie's hand. The little girl's hand was slightly cool. Bianca tried to warm it with her hand. Rainie sensed her mother's grip. She moaned softly and opened her eyes. "Mommy?" She called out coyly, still half-asleep. Bianca tucked her daughter into the blanket and said gently, "Are you awake, Rainie? It's still early. You should continue sleeping." Rainie rubbed her eyes with her other hand and said expectantly, "Mommy, is Daddy home yet? I dreamed of Daddy just now. He bought many toys for Big Bro and me, and he also said that he'd bring us to the theme park… Mommy, Daddy has been on a business trip for so long. When will he be back? I really, really miss Daddy…" Bianca tried hard not to cry when she heard her daughter say that. She patted Rainie's head and said softly, "Daddy will come back. If you finish your food and go to school every day and listen to what Mommy says, Dad
