Reginald's breath halted for a moment, his chest tickling at her look and her voice, and he had an impulse to tear the dress off her immediately.Shit.Couldn't stand it!As soon as Reginald let go of her, he turned and got out of bed, not even putting on his slippers, and left the room barefoot, just like fleeing.Finally, he went away.Ouch.Rubbing her nose, Heloise got out of bed and tiptoed out, padding until she reached the stairs, where she hid behind a large antique vase and peered down the stairs.In the living room, Ben stood with his hands carrying a brand-new man's double-breasted coat in his hands.Reginald coldly unfolded his arms and slipped the white shirt on with smooth, handsome actions."A few more legislators have been running their mouths in front of the press today, claiming that you are manipulating PHOENIXFELL's economy and are out to destroy it." Ben spoke up, his voice suppressed, not daring to loudly annoy this young master."That’s correct, I am sure to man
Harriet and Jane looked on dumbfounded, uncharacteristically acquiescing that her mental illness was flaring up.Heloise jumped further and further away, bouncing back and forth between the two maids' rooms.Jane uneasily kept following her.Under Jane's watchful eye, Heloise moved quickly to steal the sleeping spills of Harriet."Fly, fly, I'm a little butterfly, I'm a little bee ......"A little tired of bouncing, Heloise flapped a pair of arms and ran up and through the building and flew into the kitchen like a butterfly."Ouch, miss, this kitchen isn’t the place for fun." Jane quickly stopped her, "Come on, come on, out with Jane, dear.""I want to gather honey! I want to harvest honey!"Heloise yelled, knocking her head towards the cooking bench as she struggled.Jane rushed to embrace her, Heloise's eyes flickered, and before Jane regained her senses, Heloise had smoothly dropped several pills into the water bottle.Nobody noticed what she had done.Only after doing this, did sh
Right here in front of the big metal door, she had ever knelt in front of Brady, grasped his hand and begged bitterly, begging him not to send her to the old man as a gift.Her humility had been rewarded with some merciless truth from Brady.Heloise stood there; her eyes cast back across the door to the swinging bench in the courtyard.Coral had been sitting on it that day in a valuable designer’s dress, gracefully swaying around, surfing on her cell phone in hand.Tired of hearing her cry, Coral hooked her finger and commanded the bodyguards to drag her nearer, kicking her in the jaw with the sharp tip of her priceless shoe."Heloise, I wouldn't have wanted you to take you to defend me from the disaster so early, but you shouldn’t let Darnell fall in love with you and hand you those love letters, confessing his love for you, and pursuing you desperately."Coral spoke languidly."Look at your own face. Is every man infatuated with you because of your excessively seductive face, which
Heloise looked around, and realized that her former room had been turned into a dog house.The Brook's really hated her to the bone.Heloise moved the dog tent aside and crouched down on the floor, running her fingers up the wall and counting from bottom to top, she pressed her fingers inward.A brick suddenly popped out.She put the brick aside and took a wooden box out of a hidden compartment, brushed the dust off, and opened it.Inside were some of the items she had collected and saved before, as well as money she had earned from helping her classmates with crafts and homework, and a button that had been placed in her swaddling clothes when she was discarded.At a very young age, Heloise knew she wasn't Brady Brook's biological daughter, and she was grateful to the Brook's for adopting her.For this reason, she grew up giving way to Coral in every way.Whenever and wherever she acted like Coral's little maid, especially when she was treated rudely and unreasonably by Coral, she acc
"Well done."Brady nodded appreciatively.Grace sat on the sofa and looked at Coral, a little confusedly, " Coral, aren't you dating Darnell?"Darnell was referred to again.Coral looked disdainful, thinking about Darnell, and she sat there, fiddling with her newly done nails."Darnell is only the third young master of the Smith’s consortium. Once his family’s property was distributed to the sons in the future, there is not much that will be given to him. I couldn't hang myself on this tree of his, could I?"Besides, compared with Wordsworth’s Consortium, No.1 in PHOENIXFELL Empire, Smith’s consortium wasn’t qualified to compete with Wordsworth’s at all.She liked Darnell Smith at the age of 18, when he was the elder student from the upper classes. But she did not expect that Darnell would go to express his love for Heloise, and she burst into such a fury that she decided to push Heloise to defend herself from the disaster.After that, she pursued Darnell for a period of time, and it
In the brightly lit hall, several servants were called over, each looking a little uneasy at Brady's angry face.What's going on here?"Has anyone sneaked in here today?" Brady asked as he sat in the center of the sofa with a grimace on his face."No, we've been staying in the house, and it’s impossible that anyone could come in."The servants shook their heads in unison."Nothing wrong ever happened?"Brady asked coldly."No, everything is as usual.""......"Hearing such an answer, Brady's gaze sank deeper and deeper, and finally said coldly again, "Alright, you all, do what you should."The Brook’s sat in the living room. Grace Hall Brook's legs were the first to go soft because of fear, and she trembled and picked up the instant-effect heart-saving pills and put them in her mouth, took the water and swallowed it, "That dog house was originally Heloise's, I wonder if it was Heloise who would ......""Mom, what's the point of your mentioning that name now?"As soon as Heloise's name
Heloise grabbed a skewer of grilled squid and opened her mouth for a big bite.The spicy sauce on the tender squid whiskers was so rich and flavorful that it nearly exploded in her mouth.It tasted much better than the wild snakes she had caught and grilled at BlueWolf Mountain.As Heloise ate, some words came to her mind – The world was well worth living.When she thought about it, there were always more solutions than difficulties she was confronted with when one lived in the world, and she could surely think of a way to survive on her own in the country and get out of Hyacinth Garden safely and securely.Reginald could not stay with her for long.It was no problem for her to be a substitute for somebody, but she was afraid that one day she would be caught pretending to be a psychotic, and with Reginald's unforgiving attitude towards those people on BlueWolf Mountain, she worried that she would die of a bullet piercing her chest like those poor men.Maybe worse, probably she'd be ly
She ordered so much that the whole dining table could not hold those dishes.She ate slowly and methodically, without a slight distraction.In a little while, there was a mountain of sticks piled up next to her.She could really eat much more.The silver-haired guy licked his lips, "Oh, my! I cannot get Coral, but this chick is also quite good."Saying that, the silver-haired guy threw away the sticks in his hand, striding over towards Heloise, striking a pose that he thought was extremely handsome, "Hey, girl, you ordered too much, you can’t finish them, right? I can help you, OK?"Heloise had disposable gloves on her hands, and had just finished dealing with a spicy crab. When she heard this, she faintly swept him a glance, "Are you going to pick me up?"Hearing this, the companions of the silver-haired guy all booed and heckled.The silver-haired guy's eyes lit up, he immediately sat down beside her, closer to her, one hand on her shoulder and touched it, "Girl, you’re very smart.
"......" Heloise gave him a speechless look. Distracted for a moment, her character on the screen was shot in the head by Reginald, dying a heroic death.Reginald had aimed for this outcome. He turned to look at her, his mischievous gaze wandering up and down. "Strip."Today, he had suddenly proposed a game where for every round lost, she had to remove an article of clothing, with a one-hour time limit.Heloise didn't want to play, but he had persistently pestered her, not allowing her to do anything else until they played for an hour and only then would he let her go to the study to do her own work."......" Heloise straightforwardly took off her shoes, leaving her feet bare on the carpet.This wasn’t the effect he wanted.Reginald glanced at her small, fair feet and reached out to adjust the air conditioning to a higher temperature.The next round began.Heloise focused on the screen, maneuvering the controller with pre
"Suspect what?"Reginald wiped his hands with a hot towel, seeming to ask casually, as if he didn't care."With her abilities, it would be easier for her to make a mark in other circles. Yet she chose to endure hardships in the Legal Affairs Committee, where the network is already established. She’s been there for two months, and although she rose quickly, she's still just an assistant," Benjamin said."On one hand, she's willing to endure these hardships, and on the other hand, she's able to cultivate people under her into prominent figures in various fields in a short period. Do you think she has a grand ambition?"Those in high positions naturally have their sensitivities.Even though he admired Heloise, Benjamin couldn't help but think more deeply.Such a perceptive girl wouldn't do meaningless things; she must have her own calculations. She propels these people to become figures in various fields, and with more experience, they co
Someone passed by and first looked at her, screaming, with eyes that suggested she was crazy. Then, upon seeing the snake, they quickly fled.Why!Why couldn't she get close to Reginald? Why wasn't she the one to receive Reginald's special attention?She couldn't accept this outcome! She couldn't!She sat on the ground, tears quickly welling up, streaming down her face, overwhelmed with despair.…Ever since she had that candid conversation with Reginald on the football field, Heloise had become increasingly focused on her work in the Legal Affairs Committee.Heloise tackled each task with enthusiasm, consistently completing them with excellence. During this time, some colleagues tried to sabotage her, but she cleverly deflected their attempts. Similarly, higher-ups tested her abilities, but she passed each challenge with flying colors.Soon enough, everyone in the Legal Affairs Committee knew of her. Her path to promoti
Just as she finished typing, Heloise was suddenly embraced from behind by a pair of strong arms. Reginald leaned in from behind, his thin lips touching her ear, tracing along the contours of her earlobe, before suddenly taking it into his mouth and lightly licking it with the tip of his tongue.Heloise was tingling all over from his actions, wanting to break free but held tightly by him.Reginald's kisses quickly trailed over her neck and face, finally locking onto her lips with a strong possessiveness, probing deep, intimate, and ambiguous.He pressed his forehead against hers and hoarsely said, "Let me think."Heloise looked at him somewhat puzzled. What did he mean by letting him think? What was he thinking about?Perhaps because he had just showered, his eyes appeared unusually deep and moist under the light.It reminded her of the time at BlueWolf Mountain when a dolphin, accidentally washed ashore by the sea, lay there barely breathing
His voice carried a bewildering power, like a subtle electric current piercing through one's eardrums and directly into the heart.Heloise sat there, captivated by his voice, intimidated by his gaze, her mind momentarily blank.He said he would ensure all her affairs were smooth and worry-free for life. What a touching statement.Growing up, she had never received such a weighty promise.Heloise admitted to herself that she had been captivated. A hot wind passed before her eyes as she stared fixedly at Reginald in front of her.Behind him, the twilight light burst forth with vivid colors, suddenly breaking through."What, speechless from being moved?" Reginald looked at her, chuckling softly.Heloise looked at him. If she followed his temperament, she should express gratitude for being moved, or at least say thank you.But suddenly, she felt that continuing this way was not right."Thank you, Reginald," Heloise looked at
Reginald stood up from the ground, delivering heartless words.Tricia sat on the ground, her heart wrenched by his words.He couldn't produce any evidence to prove that she intentionally incited those people to target Heloise. Yet, despite this, he almost killed her for Heloise. She had risked her life for him!"Brother, has she ever saved you?" Tears streamed down her face as she asked softly.Reginald turned, buttoning his cuff and reaching for the watch on the table. His movement paused at her words before he put on the watch."How much has she sacrificed for you? Why is she the only one for you?" Tricia questioned as she watched his back.The only one for you.Reginald had never thought of those four words. To him, he was simply interested in Heloise. Every aspect of her fit his taste.Her presence filled the loneliness he had endured for over a decade. Was she really the only one for him?If it were someone else...
"Brother, wait for me." Tricia glanced at Heloise and softly called out, catching up to Reginald and brushing his arm with her finger.Reginald glanced at her sideways but didn't stop, continuing forward. Tricia walked alongside him.Heloise stood still, quietly watching the backs of the two, feeling a faint sense of strangeness pass through her heart. Her expression remained calm, showing little emotion.Is this going to be alright? It really caught her off guard.She thought that Tricia chasing after Reginald would take as long as rebuilding the slums.Once Reginald left, the guards followed suit, leaving the office to them.Heloise withdrew her gaze, carrying the documents into the office and sitting at her desk, ready to work. She tried to start her computer, but it showed a black screen.Heloise was annoyed. She clicked the mouse a couple of times, and large blocky characters began to flash on the screen."Miss me?"
"No."Reginald held her tightly.Heloise gritted her teeth and shrunk her body, slipping out from his arms.Reginald attempted to catch her, but failed. Irritated, he reached for her, pulling her towards him and kissing her forcefully. "If you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep. Let's continue playing."Heloise still wanted to break free, but Reginald pulled her back onto the bed and started fooling around with her.…In the office, colleagues remembered her heroic act of catching snakes and, understandingly, ceased their antagonism. This made Heloise's internship path particularly smooth.Her documents were impeccable, and there wasn't a single mistake in the legal texts she handled, which left her superiors very satisfied."This document contains the latest perfected laws for the slums. Once you've organized and verified it, we can make it public."The leader handed her a document.Heloise accepted it,
“Don't worry, I won't engage in such petty behaviors.”Another person expressed their stance to Heloise.“You saved us today. I'll keep an eye out for you from now on, making sure Adam and the others don't dare to act out again,” said several people around Heloise.“…”What's going on with these people? Weren't they trying to curry favor with her? How did they suddenly change sides in such a short time?Tricia stood there, her expression grim.Heloise sat calmly, raising her eyes to Tricia and giving a nonchalant “Oh.”Everyone followed her gaze to Tricia, and there was a moment of stiffness. This incident was somewhat related to Tricia, but she hadn't instructed them to go after Heloise.The atmosphere felt strangely tense.Soon, someone laughed nervously. “Tricia, you're back! You were lucky you weren't here earlier. Suddenly, the office was filled with snake
