Jad laughed and said, “That’s more like it.” He watched as she took a sip of the tea and said, “That’s right, I need to attend a birthday dinner tomorrow night. Accompany me there.” She asked in an odd tone, “You should bring a date to the dinner. Why must I accompany you?” Jad continued smiling at her. “You’re right. I have a date, but the dinner held tomorrow night is related to the project you’re working on. I can introduce you to a few presidents. It’ll be helpful for your career.” The way he spoke about things made Fern think that tomorrow was one of the presidents’ birthdays. It was related to the project that she was working on for Newton Corporation as well. Evidently, Jad viewed Newton Corporation’s project with extreme priority. Therefore, it was not strange that he was bringing her along to the birthday dinner. “If it’s related to work, I can attend the dinner with you.” Jad laughed and said, “I admire your determination.” ...Today was Old Master New
As soon as Mrs. Wagner finished speaking, the few women noticed the change in Sydney’s gaze. Mrs. Little added, “How can you say something like that? Does it mean that we’re old just because we’ve given birth to children?” Mrs. Wagner pursed her lips and smiled. “That’s not what I meant. We’re all women who have given birth to children. Of course, we can’t compare to women who haven’t given birth before. Look at Mrs. Newton. Her skin is firmer and smoother than ours. Even if we use better skincare products, we won’t be able to compare to her.” “You’re right, Mrs. Wagner. Giving birth is extremely taxing on a woman. Luckily, we have the ability to preserve our youth well. We don’t need to worry about looking after our children either,” Mrs. Caesar said as she looked at Sydney. She then asked, “You’ve been married to President Eugene for three years. Do you still not intend to have children? The Newton household owns such a huge family business. They need a child to inherit the
As soon as she finished speaking, Eugene, who looked as elegant as ever in a Western suit, walked over from behind her. “Happy birthday, Grandfather,” Eugene said in an even tone. The old master glanced at him. There was a look of dissatisfaction in his gaze. “Are you busy with work now?” “I’m busy with the company’s matters. You know that, Grandfather.” Eugene thought that he had not done anything to offend his grandfather. The old master huffed and said, “Regardless of how busy you are, you should’ve fetched your wife over to the event.” Eugene knew why the old master was displeased with him now. Sydney could not bear to watch him get scolded by the old master. She immediately said, “Eugene is busy with work. There’s no difference if I come over on my own or if he fetches me.” “Look how considerate Sydney is of you.” The old master was satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law. After all, he had selected her. Eugene frowned, but he gave in to the old master. Toda
“President Lawrence, let go… Can you…” Fern could not resist feeling slightly infuriated. However, she could not free herself from his grip. Jad dragged her in front of Old Master Newton. Suddenly, she sensed a sharp gaze being directed at her. Her chest tightened instinctively. Right then, she heard Jad greeting Old Master Newton. “Old Master Newton, I hope you’ll have a long and prosperous life!” The old master pretended not to hear what he said. His muddled but harsh gaze was fixed on Fern. His deep and old voice sounded extremely frightening. “You’re back?” Fern’s scalp turned numb as she sensed the old master’s gaze on her. His words were evidently directed to her. He knew that she had left the country previously? She had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet the old master’s gaze. “Happy birthday, Old Master Newton.” The old master did not say anything and continued staring at her coldly. There was an exceptionally stern expression on his elderly face. Eu
Fern knew that Sharon had helped her resolve this tough situation so that she would not be disgracefully kicked out by those bodyguards. However… she had never wanted to attend the old master’s birthday dinner in the first place. She wanted to leave.“Thank you,” she told Sharon. “No need to be courteous with me,” Sharon said as she glanced at Eugene meaningfully. Eugene continued frowning silently. He exuded a sense of coldness that prevented anyone from approaching him. “Bonnie, wish your grandfather a happy birthday!” Sharon carried her daughter to the old master. The old master glared at Sharon coldly and said, “You don’t need to be so courteous with me. I’m afraid that you’ll make me angry again in the blink of an eye.” Sharon chuckled and said, “Grandfather, I haven’t made you angry lately.” “You invited others to my birthday dinner without telling me. Doesn’t this count?” Was the old master blaming her for inviting Fern over? “Grandfather, regardless of eve
Overcome with frustration, Fern walked along the corridor. Her footsteps were slightly rushed, so she almost ran into someone while she was making a turn in the corridor. “Sorry.” She instinctively apologized. The other person had no intention of moving away. The cold voice of a man rang out from above her. “You shouldn’t have come here.”She was all too familiar with this man’s voice. She raised her head and was met with the sight of Eugene’s icy and handsome face.Given the expression on his face, it seemed that he was extremely unhappy with her presence.Right, his grandfather did not like her. His wife saw her as her love rival. Nobody welcomed her here.“I really didn’t know that it’s your grandfather’s birthday dinner. President Lawrence insisted on having me accompany him here,” she explained. She did not want him to misunderstand that she had deliberately come over to let everyone know that she was back in the country.“Why did you come over just because he asked you t
Sydney stood behind a corner a short distance away. She watched as he walked toward the lounge. A cold glint appeared in her eyes. It was not a misunderstanding. He had never forgotten about Fern Thompson!She was his wife now. How could she allow her own husband to have another woman in his heart? She gradually clenched her hands, which were by her sides, into fists as hatred flashed across her mind. Eugene walked into the lounge. The old master was seated on the sofa as he waited for him. There was a stiff expression on his elderly face. “Grandfather, are you looking for me?” Although the old master was seated, he held his dragon head staff with both of his hands. His expression grew sterner when he saw him. “So you’re not going home because that woman is back?” the old master questioned him. Eugene frowned and sat down opposite the old master. “This is between me and Sydney. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Besides, I’m really busy with work at the company n
“What? You said that you saw them being touchy with each other in the corridor?” Mrs. Neal asked Sydney, who had broken down into tears, with shock on her face.Sydney wiped away her tears and said in a choked voice, “Yes, they were standing in the corridor of the hotel. There was nobody around them. I saw Eugene refusing to let go of her… I didn’t misunderstand them at all. They really do have something going on between them!” “How treacherous! She’s shameless. She’s way too shameless!” Mrs. Neal shouted angrily. “And she’s a woman with a boyfriend! I didn’t wrongly accuse her. She’s a treacherous b*tch!” Mrs. Neal was beyond outraged. “This won’t do. I’ll go to her company tomorrow to cause a scene!” Sydney held her mother back at once after hearing her. “No, Eugene has already warned you once. You can’t cause a ruckus at her company anymore.” “She’s about to snatch your husband away. Can’t I make some noise at her company?” “Eugene will be unhappy. He’s still unwilli
