Benjamin nodded with a smile.
As the president, he naturally didn't have much leisure time to chat with them.
After talking for a while, Benjamin excused himself, claiming he had official business to attend to, and instructed the butler to show them around the presidential palace.
Abel was still somewhat excited, but Heloise declined outright.
Leaving the reception room, Benjamin entered the adjacent study, where several people were already seated.
The suspended television screen was playing surveillance footage, showing Heloise and her group leaving.
"The girl in charge is too arrogant. Even in here, she acts like she's capable of anything, showing no humility at all," someone complained.
"Indeed, she's quite headstrong. Talking back in front of you, Mr. President. In my opinion, the Peak Summit Conference shouldn't continue. I can have them taken care of," another said dismissively.
"Yeah, and she wants to join the Legal Affa
"I'm going to create countless patents in the future! I'll become the most formidable expert in the research institute!" Gavin shouted hysterically, using his hand as a makeshift microphone."In the future, all the buildings I design will win awards! Trophies will fill up the Peak Summit Conference! No one will ever underestimate my designs again!" Sibyl joined in, her voice breaking from the intensity."I used to be afraid to dream, but now with Sis. Heloise, I dare to dream!"Sibyl exclaimed passionately; her eyes reddened with excitement."......" Heloise glanced over and saw that Sibyl was so excited her eyes were red.Everyone laughed.Sibyl blushed shyly as she covered her face with her hands."I hope our Peak Summit Conference will dominate in various fields of the PHOENIXFELL Empire in the future!" Samuel shouted loudly, raising his hands to the sky. "God, please bless us!""I just hope to make a lot of money in the fut
The people around were chattering away, and they didn't hear such a sentence.Heloise sat there, momentarily stunned, realizing that the words were still vulgar. Suddenly, her scalp tingled."Watch your language," she said sharply."Are you coming or not? If not, I'll find someone else," Reginald said impatiently.Heloise paused.How could he still be looking for someone else after being injured like that?Was his need really that urgent?Heloise wanted to retort, but she advised instead, "Don't forget what Doctor Phillips said. You're not in the right condition for...""You don't get to decide if I'm fit or not. I want someone now. If you're not coming, then forget it," Reginald interrupted, hanging up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.Heloise looked at the disconnected call, feeling helpless.In the end, Heloise didn't join the dinner. She just transferred money to Abel and asked him to take everyone ou
In her opinion, the two of them had reached this point, and he had saved her time and time again. She couldn't really muster any resentment towards him anymore. Even if one day he would turn against her, she could understand it. She would find a way to survive on her own.She thought she had said it well, but she didn't expect him to lose control.When he pushed her onto the bed, her body was completely under his domination.Reginald was even more frenzied than before he got injured, biting off the buttons of her shirt in front of her, his fingers tightly buried between hers.Over and over again.Heloise trembled uncontrollably but couldn't refuse.Finally, Reginald fell asleep, holding her tightly. Even in his sleep, his hands firmly imprisoned her waist, unwilling to let go."..."Heloise felt like she was trapped in an airtight cage, sweating profusely, the heat causing her mind to go blank.Reginald slept soundly.
It seemed like she could run away in the next moment.Clearly, he knew she wouldn't escape his grasp anytime soon.It appeared that due to their prolonged proximity, he needed to refocus on the conglomerate."You managed to say something sensible," Reginald sneered at him before getting up to leave.Doctor Phillips hastily stood up to respectfully see off this ancestor, sweat dripping from his forehead.Suddenly, Reginald turned back, his gaze icy as he looked at him. "What if she really decides to leave one day?"Doctor Phillips froze in his tracks, forcing a smile. "Women, even if they talk about leaving, it's just a bluff. You just need to pamper them a bit more, once, twice, or even three times."A bluff to leave?He remembered her saying that they could part amicably.Fine, he would indulge her, until she couldn't walk anymore. Reginald snorted and walked out.Doctor Phillips quickly turned around, reaching o
Reginald halted his steps, his deep gaze falling on her, revealing a hint of surprise. "You're not dead yet?"Tricia stood there in silence."Heh." The conversation was indeed interesting, and Heloise couldn't help but chuckle.When both Reginald and Tricia glanced at her simultaneously, she realized she hadn't closed the car window.However, she remained composed, showing no signs of embarrassment.Reginald looked at her with his dark eyes becoming piercing.Tricia's face twisted into an expression of extreme displeasure, her hatred and jealousy flashing in her eyes before quickly disappearing.But soon, Tricia smiled. "So, Big Brother has an appointment with Spicy. It seems I came at a bad time. I'll leave first."With these words, Tricia still looked at Reginald with anticipation.However, Reginald didn't spare her a glance and walked straight towards Heloise."Cough, cough—"Tricia coughed, her ha
How long does she intend to keep eating those sweets? Is she planning to change cars every day?The methods wealthy tycoons use to pamper women are simply outrageous."Not enough," Reginald said indifferently.Not enough?"Then when will it be enough?" Heloise couldn't help but ask.Reginald's deep gaze fell on her sharply contrasting eyes, and his thin lips curled slightly with a hint of mischief. "Of course, until I spoil you to the point where you can't walk."This way, she would stay by his side forever.Before Heloise could say anything else, Reginald noticed another point and looked at her, saying, "It seems money isn't necessarily the key.""Right.""I can also pamper you in bed until you can't get out, can't walk." Reginald raised an eyebrow, mischievously wicked.But has she ever uttered that "right" word?Heloise silently watched him, pretending not to hear, as the bodyguard brought the chef's pre
Heloise flipped through the book, finding it hard to concentrate. Coldly, she said, "I didn't tell you all this so you could start asking questions."Among the people she knew, only Lucas was aware of her relationship with Reginald, and when she had a headache, he was the only one she could talk to.At her words, Lucas sighed, "Miss Heloise, I'm not a relationship expert. It's difficult for me to solve these dilemmas for you. If it were something else...""If it were something else, I'd handle it myself." Heloise cut him off mercilessly."..."True. Heloise had established herself in Phoenixfell City in the shortest time possible, so why would she need his help with ordinary matters?Lucas' breath was clearly audible over the audio for a while, before finally asking, "So, do you think Reginald's possessiveness is at play, or has he fallen in love with you?""Do you think I need to discuss this with you?" Heloise retorted.Lucas
Heloise looked at the candy jar beside her, her gaze resolute and clear.She always knew what she wanted. Therefore, all she could do was offer the companionship she couldn't give, and let others provide it for him.Tricia couldn't be called a good person, but she genuinely liked Reginald. They both got what they needed. That was fine.After saying this, Heloise hung up the phone.Outside the window, the sound of a car could be heard.Reginald was back.-The call from the Legal Affairs Committee came neither early nor late, precisely during the hottest summer this year.Heloise drove to the Legal Affairs Committee, located due north of Phoenixfell City.She parked the car in front of the building and silently stared at the triangular skyscraper before her.The building reflected a dazzling light under the intense sun. Occasionally, a few people in work uniforms with Legal Affairs Committee badges passed by the em
