"Mom, Dad, Junie, and El are around. It wouldn't be appropriate for them to catch us like this." She held his hand. "This is much better. Let's go."Andrew shook his head with a smile. Still, Maisie's concerns were quite valid. As they left the study, Laura happened to pass by with June and Elio.Th
Hendrick smiled. "What could I possibly be up to? I only wanted to comfort you because I thought you looked pitiful crying alone like this."Sapphire snorted. "Comfort me? You? Ha! You'd never be that kind."Hendrick tutted and shook his head. "It looks like you have a horrible impression of me.""I
As expected, Roxy didn't handle the matter well. Shaun was worried that Maisie and Sapphire would fall out with each other over Roxy's methods, so he thought long and hard before calling to try and talk some sense into Sapphire.But despite his attempts to be tactful, Sapphire hung up on him without
Upon hearing Roxy command her to return the shares transfer contract so harshly, Sapphire's suppressed anger began bubbling up. "Why? Did you prepare the contract in advance to give it to Maisie?" Roxy stepped forward anxiously and said, "Regardless of who it benefits, you can't take the contract
Sapphire was so infuriated earlier that she had used all her strength. Roxy's face had turned pale. Blood continued to gush out from the back of her head, spreading across the floor. Sapphire's mind went blank. She curled up, and her teeth chattered in fear. After some time, she seemed to come bac
Sapphire took the shares transfer contract and hid it in her arms. "I'm sorry, Grandma… If you hadn't stopped me, none of this would have happened. You can't blame me. Please rest in peace." Sapphire wiped away her tears. After cleaning the room, Sapphire looked around to ensure there was no eviden
Sapphire's tone was resolute when she made the statement. It was as if she had witnessed Maisie pushing Roxy herself. "I saw her push my grandmother. She hit the table nearby and fell to the ground. Then, she started to bleed profusely," Sapphire said loudly. The doctor next to them couldn't wait
Gilman immediately went back to inform Andrew about the incident. Andrew's eyes darkened instantly upon hearing Gilman's report. "When did this happen?" "Half an hour ago. Mrs. Clarke is now at the police station for investigation," Gilman explained anxiously.Andrew immediately stood up. He grabbe
After leaving the Garrison residence, Andrew and Maisie headed home. Maisie couldn't help but smirk when she noticed Andrew trailing behind her with a mournful expression. She turned to him and asked, "What's wrong with you?""Are you angry?" Andrew inquired. Suppressing a smile, Maisie responded,
Maisie pressed her lips together and added, "Indeed, Mr. Garrison, we've caused enough trouble for your family. We'll take our leave now." With apologies off the table and Andrew's attendance at the event with Rose out of the question, further negotiation was now futile. Maisie did not attempt to p
"Shut up," Edmund muttered, wondering how he ended up with such a foolish daughter.Although Hendrick and Maisie were both vying for the shares, Maisie seemed to have the upper hand. Selling the shares to her now could earn them some goodwill from Andrew in the future. But Rose wasn't considering an
Valerie couldn't help but notice her daughter's infatuation and sighed inwardly. "Have you forgotten he's already married?""What's the big deal?" Rose shrugged.Valerie gently tapped Rose's forehead and said firmly, "Rose, let's be realistic here. It's fine to have feelings for someone, but he's al
Sapphire stood frozen at the doorway, covering her mouth in shock. She realized that she had been caught red-handed. She feared Hendrick's wrath if he discovered the shares were in her possession.Sapphire's eyes darted around anxiously. All she could think of was to hide until the shareholder meeti
Wrapped in a sleek black coat, Andrew approached, exuding a dignified and icy demeanor. A faint smile graced his handsome face as he held his phone to his ear, staring at her. Maisie was momentarily taken aback and blinked in surprise. "Andrew, is that really you?" His presence caught her off guar
Maisie looked at Sapphire, who was flaunting her dominance, and simply pursed her lips. "Oh," she replied calmly, not wanting to engage further.However, Sapphire persisted. She tried to stop Maisie. "You won't find any useful information here with Grandma. Just a friendly reminder to save your ene
"Get out." Andrew's voice was cold and unforgiving."Sir, what did I do wrong?" Fiona pleaded for an answer, but Andrew merely shot her a cold glance, unwilling to entertain further discussion.Fiona wasn't ready to let it go. She couldn't simply accept being dismissed. After all, she had compromise
Maisie returned to the villa with Elio and June and left James to keep them company at home. Initially, James objected. Andrew had instructed him to protect Maisie, and he feared for her safety if she ventured out alone. However, Maisie insisted, and she eventually departed with Gilman and the othe
