Nicole's car had just stopped to park. After being informed about it, Ginny quickly ran out of the house.She ran straight toward Colette and held her hand. She said with concern, "You've finally been discharged. You're not allowed to do something so stupid again in the future."If anything happened to you, I would not have any hope left. I would just follow you to the afterlife."Nicole smiled with assurance and satisfaction after hearing Ginny's words.The more Ginny cared for Colette, the better it was for them."Lettie, did you hear what your mom said? We will only worry when we see you hurt. Look at your mom. She's become much thinner."Ginny, don't worry. Lettie will be my daughter from now on. I won't let her be hurt again."Ginny embraced Colette in her arms.She had wanted to have a good talk with Nicole. But her anger flared when she saw Nicole was pretending nothing had happened."Who is worried? Are you worried? You still dare to call Colette your daughter."If it
Everyone watched in shock as Louis and Megan walked into the room hand in hand.The shy expression on Colette's face faded away as a glint of hostility flashed across her eyes. However, it quickly disappeared.She stood up in surprise as she pointed at Louis. Although she knew the answer, she still asked, "Megan, why … why are you …"Before Megan could answer, Louis smiled. He answered, "Can't you tell? We are dating,"His voice remained calm and collected. He did not sound like a man in love, yet Megan bit her lips as a blush appeared on her cheeks."That's right. Mr. Langley and I are in a relationship."Colette couldn't control herself as her expression turned sour. Nicole's expression changed as well.She wanted Zachary and Colette to marry. Not only for the five percent of the shares, but also for the entire Warde Corporation.Although Louis had no blood relations with the Warde family, he called the shots in the Warde Corporation.He was the biggest obstacle stopping Col
Nicole was pleased when she heard Zachary's words.Colette felt like she had been publicly humiliated. Her face turned red from anger.How dare Zachary say she was inferior to Victoria in front of Megan? Colette wanted to beat him up.But she could not do anything.If she were to fight with Zachary, the betrothal gift and the company shares would all go up in flames.Ginny stood up from the sofa and pointed at Zachary.She questioned, "Zachary, what are you trying to say? You do not seem to want to marry Lettie. If that's the case, get out of my house."No one is begging you to marry her. Who do you think you are? How dare you say that Lettie isn't worth that much?"I will give her a portion of my shares. She also has the Warde family. She's the most respectable woman in Youngville."Only Lettie likes you. That's why I allowed you the opportunity to gift us 177.77 million dollars. Did you think I wanted you to marry into our family?"Are you still thinking about having Victor
Louis followed Elizabeth to her study.Elizabeth began to ask Louis about Victoria's situation."Have you contacted Vicky? How is she? Did she and Mr. Harper really … I tried to call her, but no one answered. Did she mention me when you contacted her?""I thought with your daughter and granddaughter here, you would have forgotten her. Don't worry, she's doing fine. She's happy now."Elizabeth sighed. She looked at Louis and asked, "What about her relationship with Mr. Harper? I heard many people telling me that Benjamin is impotent. Are they really together?"She has angered the White family. What if she loses Benjamin's protection due to his impotence? Will she be at a disadvantage?"Louis, you and Vicky get along well. Talk to her. Ask her to take over the Warde family. As long as she is willing, I'll give her all my shares to Warde Corporation."Louis looked at Elizabeth. "What if she's unwilling? Who do you plan on giving the company to? Will it be Ginny or Colette?"Elizab
The sun was shining brightly. Colette brought Megan to sit in the gardens and asked the housekeepers to prepare some fruits and desserts.Colette sipped her coffee and exclaimed, "Time flies by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, we have graduated from Brighton. It still feels like yesterday when we were still students."We were known as Brighton's Mary-Kate and Ashley. I really miss those days. If it weren't for Victoria stealing our limelight, we could have shone brightly in our own field."Colette seemed nostalgic. She didn't miss the time she spent in Brighton, but she missed the fame.She was a hard-working beauty. Many men would fawn over her. She even felt like the country's president barely deserved her.Victoria had ruined everything.Colette was full of hatred when she mentioned Victoria.Under the sun, Megan felt a chill when she looked at Colette's dark gaze.Colette continued to reminisce.As if they were best friends, Colette asked curiously, "Since when did you
Colette was acting weirdly. Anyone with eyes could tell that something was wrong.Megan watched as Colette dropped her phone. She looked at Colette and said worriedly, "Lettie!"Megan did not know what had happened. She frowned and looked around anxiously.She was in the Warde manor. If people saw Colette in such a state, they would think she had bullied her.Megan was afraid of a misunderstanding.Colette heard Megan's shaky voice. She shuddered and came to her senses.She looked at Megan as emotions swirled in her eyes.Megan was also looking at her.Suddenly, the phone stopped ringing.Colette's heart pounded. She quickly used her hand to cover her phone as she picked it up. She made sure her phone screen was against her palm."What's wrong with you?"Colette gulped. "Nothing's wrong."The second she finished speaking, her phone began to ring again."Who's calling you?""I believe they've got the wrong number."Megan was suspicious and did not believe her words.Cole
Megan followed Louis into the house to bid Elizabeth goodbye.They held hands. Upon seeing this, Nicole and the others, though unaffected, had a somewhat unpleasant expression.Especially Nicole. Her eyes were steeped in dissatisfaction as she looked at Colette.Useless thing. She had left for so long yet she had nothing to show for it.Megan held Louis' hand. When she walked past Zachary, she slowed and glanced in his direction. It was the same scene as before.Zachary, in front of Elizabeth, did not restrain himself. He was still completely immersed in his phone.Nicole followed Megan's line of sight. Upon seeing Zachary whose eyes were glued to the screen, her eyes filled with deep-seated frustration.She wanted to reprimand him, but she resisted. His temper was very bad lately, especially when he was playing mobile games. If he was disturbed, he would fly into a fit of rage.He spared nobody's feelings. His mother was not an exception.Nicole did not wish to embarrass him.
In the Warde Manor's living room, Elizabeth eyed Colette. "What did you say to that Jenkins kid?"She immediately replied, "Nothing. Just a simple chat to catch up."Elizabeth did not expect her to be truthful in the first place. Stone-faced, she expressed her stance."She is now in a relationship with your uncle and will become a part of the family in the future. Don't say what you aren't supposed to say."I'll ask you one last time about you and Zachary, have you really thought it through? Do you want to be together with him?"She had never viewed Zachary highly. Otherwise, she would not have allowed Victoria to break off the engagement.She looked down on him in the past. Based on his behavior today, she looked down on him even more.Ginny looked at Elizabeth with displeasure."Mom, why can't you agree on them being together? They're from the same generation. Besides, Beatrice and I don't get along."It's not as if you are unaware, they will have a lot of conflicts from now
