Ms. Lang was scared. Her hand that was holding the vacuum cleaner started shaking uncontrollably. "No, Ms. Leia... I don't know why the necklace is in my bag. It’s a misunderstanding..." Leia sneered and said in a sharp tone, "Misunderstanding? Ms. Lang, my million-dollar necklace is in your bag. How could it be a misunderstanding? Are you saying that the necklace magically appeared in your bag? Do you think I can be easily fooled by you?" Ms. Lang was upset but she held back her emotions and looked at Leia pleadingly. She was desperately trying to defend herself. "Ms. Leia, I don’t know what’s going on, please believe me. If… If you don’t trust me, let’s go look for Mr. and Mrs. Norman. We’ll look at the surveillance tapes..." Leia quickly took a few photos and a video with her phone before saying, "I have evidence of your theft. I’ll call the police. The Norman residence will not allow a thief like that to stay! It seems that you didn’t learn anything from the arson ca
However, Queenie was on the fence about how to react. She believed that Ms. Lang was telling the truth. After all, Ms. Lang has been working hard for the Norman family for so many years. She had never lied before. Despite this, when she gazed at Leia who could not stop crying, looking so sad and aggrieved, Queenie's heart softened. The suspicion in her heart began to melt away. In the end, she grabbed Leia's shoulders and sighed. "Leia, tell me honestly. What’s the truth of the matter involving Ms. Lang?" Leia wiped her tears with her sleeves and coughed a little before saying sadly, "Mom, the diamond necklace you gave me went missing. I searched everywhere and couldn't find it, but I eventually found it in Ms. Lang’s handbag… If she didn’t steal my necklace, how would it have ended up in her bag? If you don’t believe me, I can show you the evidence. The photos and video clearly show that the necklace was found in Ms. Lang's bag in her room..." Queenie looked a
When Mavis Laviere entered the CEO's Office, she saw Luke’s side profile. From her point of view, she first noticed his two crossed slender legs that made him appear elegant. He was wearing a white shirt and a black tie, which highlighted his calm temperament. Luke was flipping through the document with one hand while holding a cup of coffee with the other, gently blowing at it. After hearing Mavis' footsteps, he slowly turned around to meet her bright eyes. It was noon, and the light was bright and warm. The height of the 80-story floor made it so that there was a lot of natural lighting in Luke’s office. The faint golden color shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows and landed on him, making his unique facial features even more alluring. Even though she had stared at his face countless times throughout many years, Mavis was still taken aback by his beauty. She said softly, "Mr. Crawford." What she wanted the most right now was to call
Mavis was a little scared by Luke. She had never seen him with such a gloomy expression before. He looked like he was ready to kill. She raised her eyebrows and wanted to say something, but Luke acted first and spoke in an expressionless tone, "Ms. Laviere, since you want to leave, then you can leave. Although you’re one of the top performers of T Corporation, we can survive without you. Since you’ve felt tired for a long time, you can take this opportunity to take a good rest." What? His change was so abrupt that Mavis was not able to keep up. She uttered, "Mr. Crawford, I... I’m not..." She actually had no intentions of resigning. She did so only to find out how much he cared about her and to show him how important she was to him and T Corporation. She did not want to leave the position she had struggled for years to achieve. Luke flickered his cigarette as the ash fell into the ashtray. Then, his hand that was holding the cigarette moved closer to
Coffee shop. The coffee shop had a piano playing tunes in the background and was filled with chatter and laughter. It was one of the best places in A City. It was elegant and stylish. At a coffee table covered with a white tablecloth, two women with very different appearances sat across each other. The woman on the left was Bianca. She had light make-up on, and her face was as beautiful as porcelain with her rosy cheeks. Her eyelashes were dense, long, and curly, highlighting her eyes that were as clear as spring. Bianca appeared like a goddess who made others feel comfortable in her presence. The woman opposite her was wearing a white sundress. Her smooth black hair looked like a waterfall. Her makeup was exquisite and suited her oval face. Her big eyes were full of sadness. She was still the ever arrogant Mavis Laviere. Bianca was a little surprised that Mavis requested to meet with her, and she was even more confused when she noticed that Mavis wa
Bianca walked out of the cafe and went to a well-known mall next door because she wanted to buy some clothes for her children. She had not been spending much time with them as she was occupied with the recent events. She felt guilty about it. Bianca shopped around and bought two large shopping bags worth of clothes for the twins and Tommy. When she passed by a boutique, Bianca saw a pink, princess-like dress. The color, texture, and style were great. She thought that it would be perfect for Sue's daughters. Once in a while, Sue would buy Tommy and the twins some clothes or other gifts. Bianca wanted to return the favor and went in to buy the dress for her daughters. She bumped into someone as soon as she entered the boutique. "Sorry..." A man apologized, his voice sounding magnetic. That familiar voice startled Bianca. The man's body was well-built, and the impact hurt Bianca a little. She lifted her gaze and met a pair of evil but sad eyes.
Xavier did not answer nor explain anything to Riley. With that, the alarm bell in her heart went off even more. She bit her lip and looked as though she was a woman in love. However, she was staring straight into Bianca's eyes the entire time. Faced with the young woman’s hostility, Bianca laughed out loud and raised the shopping bags in her hand. “I’m just an insignificant person, an old acquaintance. I’m someone he used to know. We’re not that close, so you can just think of us as strangers." Someone that he used to know. Strangers. Bianca’s words stung Xavier. His breathing became rapid as he stared at her, his handsome face looking embarrassed. If an ex-wife was considered an old acquaintance, then their relationship was indeed like she said. It did not mean anything that they once had a marriage certificate. After all, they had never shared a bed nor held a wedding banquet. The only thing that could prove that they were once husband and wife was th
Lacy was taken aback when she heard what Melissa said. There was a look of surprise in her eyes. After all, her son had never been in a serious relationship for as long as she could remember. This was the first time she heard that a woman by her son’s side was expecting. She was overjoyed to hear that! However, when she saw how hard Melissa was gritting her teeth... Lacey grabbed her hand again. She started telling white lies as she comforted her, "Melissa, it doesn’t matter even if the woman is pregnant. She still won’t be able to join the Tanner family. It’s no big deal, we’ll let her give birth to the child. My husband and I will raise them. You and Xavier can still get married… I can guarantee that the child will never be a barrier between you Xavier. I’ll not let the child get in your way..." Melissa's brows were tightly knitted together. She screamed, "What? Are you going to let that b*tch give birth to the child? That can never happen! As long as I’m a part o
