Henry frowned, he was unpleased with Monique's flat out rejection.In a split second, his expression resumed to his usual cold expression with those bottomless eyes of his seemed to be cold as well.A damp chill was spread across the room as though the air conditioner had been switched on.This made Monique start shaking."I heard from Jimmy, who stays a floor above us, that his parents will sleep together with him." Angel puckered her mouth.Jimmy was a little boy staying one floor above the unit that Monique rented. He was also a friend of Angel and would occasionally come over to play with her.Monique felt troubled. This was a very normal request for any ordinary child, but to Angel, it was like a desire, a longing for fatherly love.However, Angel’s condition was dissimilar from other kids as Henry was not Angel’s biological father.Monique could not make out any suitable excuse to reject Angel’s request as she looked into Henry's cold expression, thinking that he would al
Little Nomi’s delicate face lit up with surprise, “Really? Daddy will sleep with us tonight, right?” “No way!” Monique’s face flushed in red, her heart beating faster than usual as she rejected her without thinking of an excuse. “But why, Mommy?” Little Nomi pouted, “I want to sleep with Mommy and Daddy!” She whimpered as she frowned, her bright and doe eyes filled up with tears ready to roll down her cheeks. “Well…Chairman Moore might not be able to fall asleep, which would affect his work tomorrow…” Monique reasoned with a calm voice, her long and fair fingers caressed on Little Nomi’s face wiping off the tears. Although she was telling the truth, looking at the looks on Little Nomi made her feel guilty. Henry’s lips curled up as he watched by the side, a touch of affection aroused in his dark pupils. “That’s only if I sleep with other people, I’ll have a good night’s sleep sleeping with my Little Nomi.” His voice deep and charming with a hint of magnetism. “Really?” Li
Last night they slept further apart, each person to one side, unlike tonight. Monique’s face was reddening, not just that but her cheeks were burning. Her heart was pumping vigorously, knocking her body like a drumroll, as if it was ready to fly out from her throat if she opened her mouth. “Mommy, hurry up!” Little Nomi pestered again. Monique held back her embarrassment, and calmly replied to Little Nomi with a smile, “Ok.” She slowly climbed over, and forced a calm and unshaken voice, “Move over.” Henry raised his eyebrows, with a faint smirk, he closed his eyes again. The room was quiet. Monique rolled her eyes and scolded Henry in her mind countless times. After turning off the lights, she laid down helplessly facing away from Henry. She hugged Little Nomi and kissed her on her forehead. “Sleep tight, dear.” Little Nomi nodded with a sweet smile and shut her eyes before falling asleep almost instantly. After a while, her hand went numb from placing it below Little
The man looked at her rarely obedient behavior. His strong body enveloping her small physique. “Ahh…” As he leaned forward, he accidentally hurt her back which had not recovered. She cried out in pain. At this instant, a strong electric current attacked Monique’s brain. With her cheeks burning red, her heart pumping like a running rabbit, she could not think or reason as her panicking instinct took over and pushed Henry off the bed. To make her action seem less awkward, she inappropriately yelled, “rogue!” Henry did not see that coming as he was pushed off the bed. His manly brows slightly twitched, exuding an air of coldness as his Adam’s apple slid slightly. Her voice was soft, like a snowflake slipping in his heart, and its coldness was unbearable. Henry suddenly recalled that she hurt her back yesterday. His handsome face darkened into a look of confusion, as he really did not know what to do. He had never felt this way before. All he wanted to do was to flirt with her a
“Alright, thanks, Mrs. Lee.” Monique smiled. Mrs. Lee noticed the slight glint of disappointment in her eyes, unlike a few days ago when she kept her distance from Henry, today she seemed disappointed not having him around. It was obvious to Mrs. Lee because she watched Henry grow, she knew him well enough to know that he had more of a smile on his face when Monique and Little Nomi were around. The loving looks on him had not been seen after his mother passed away. Mrs. Lee also took note of how he took great care of the two of them in the past few days. Being born into a wealthy family, he had never had to take care of anyone, thus seeing him going through such lengths to take care of them both pleased Mrs. Lee. If this woman was willing to stay by his side wholeheartedly, Henry would be happier. With that in mind, Mrs. Lee liked Monique even more. “You must be hungry, I’ve prepared some breakfast, come and have some.” Mrs. Lee smiled, as she reached out and held on Monique’s
She smiled faintly, “Mommy is not working today, I’ll stay home with you.” “Yay!” a carefree smile appeared on Little Nomi’s face. Monique stayed home with Little Nomi for the rest of the day. She seldom had so much free time to herself. The Moore manor was huge, and there was a man-made hill at the back of the manor. There was a fountain and a small forest, with some exercising machines which entertained the two of them. Mrs. Lee was taking good care of them. She would frequently bring over some drinks, fruits and snacks. The other staff treated them with respect, too. Although they did not know who Monique was, they knew that Henry and Mrs. Lee were taking good care of them, so they assumed this mysterious woman to be someone special, probably someone of the noble family or with authority. By the end of the day, Henry was still not home, so Monique and Little Nomi went to bed without seeing him for a day. They had not seen him for two days in a row. He usually left befo
“Is there a problem?” Henry’s eyebrows twitched, exuding an air of eeriness. Shaun fixed his black-rimmed glasses, and mumbled, “Chair…Chairman Moore, please take good care of your health, it’s getting late!” There was no big project recently to stay back till so late. Of course, Shaun did not say that out loud. He was already trembling inside for what he said before. Let alone telling him off for staying back when there was no big project going on at the moment. Henry merely glanced at Shaun coldly without saying a word. Shaun instantly regretted what he said earlier. He stood in front of him awkwardly, Henry did not ask him to leave, so he wanted to leave but had no courage to. His legs were shaking terribly, and just as he was about to faint from the suspension in the air, Henry coldly said, “Go home.” This sounded like music to his ears, “I’ll get the car right away.” Henry nodded. He had not seen Monique for two days. Shaun ran straight from the office to the ga
The silence resumed in the car. Shaun stepped on the gas pedal and accelerated, the speed of the car greatly contrasted with his nerdy outlook. Finally, they have arrived at the Moore mansion. It was not till Henry stepped out of the car when Shaun finally let out a long relief, his legs turning jelly. The look on Henry’s face was way too scary and intimidating. Seeing that Henry had come home, Mrs. Lee brought forth the soup she had prepared for him. “Young Master, please have some soup,” Mrs. Lee handed over the soup and said, “It’d been some time since you last worked till late, please take care of your body.” “I know, please get some rest. There are so many helpers at the mansion.” Henry said coldly. He was brought up by Mrs. Lee, so he had always respected her. “I don’t trust the others.” Mrs. Lee replied, she knew Henry was concerned for her health. After finishing the soup, Henry went upstairs, and Mrs. Lee went back to her bedroom. Before entering his room, he unco
"Monique, don't cry..." Su Chen's blood kept gushing out from the wound, and he felt colder and colder.He even felt difficult to raise his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Monique's eyes."Brother, stop talking. The ambulance will come soon!" Monique reached out her hands to press the wound for him, trying to slow down the bleeding.But the blood kept flowing out from between her fingers...Su Chen shook his head, indicating for Monique to stop wasting her energy."Monique... you really... ahem, don't you remember me?" Su Chen was struggling to even say a word."What?" Monique didn't understand what he meant."I saw you... when you were very young... Have you forgotten? You promised to be... my bride..."Su Chen's words made Monique frown. She didn't remember making such an agreement with someone.Bai Bingbing was shocked by Su Chen's words.It turned out that the little girl Su Chen had mentioned to her was Monique!That was the only time Su Chen had mentioned hi
Monique, whom the two men had been longing for, was found by Bai Bingbing."Miss. Bai, why are you here?"Monique had never seen her since Gu Linbei's wedding.Today, Bai Bingbing made Monique feel very strange.Bai Bingbing, who appeared in front of others, always had delicate makeup and was talking and laughing.However, today's Bai Bingbing had a plain face, and she had not even taken care of her hair.For a moment, she was worried that Bai Bingbing would come to her because of something."I have something to talk to Mrs. Moore alone. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"Bai Bingbing's words made Monique instinctively miss her because of Su Chen.However, Henry had repeatedly warned her not to be with Su Chen alone."Is it possible that he has something to do with Su Chen?"Monique thought about it and made an appointment with Bai Bingbing at a crowded cafe.She also sent a message to Henry.By the time Henry received the message, Su Chen had already arrived at Su Ente
"Monique didn't come." Henry spoke as he could read Su Chen's mind without hesitation.Su Chen didn't care and looked away calmly.He looked at Su Zhenxing and the man beside him.He was really Su Zhenxing's partner, the secretary of Su Chen's biological father, David."When did David return?" Su Chen's tone was gentle and normal, as if he was really chatting with them."I just arrived last night." David answered Su Chen, but her eyes were full of worry."Chen, did you really do this?" Su Zhenxing looked at Su Chen and asked sadly."Yes!" Su Chen did not know what Su Zhenxing was asking.But no matter what they were, they had something to do with him.From the time he was adopted by Su Chen, to the time he returned to his country and met Monique, to the time he met Henry.Even the kidnapping of Monique abroad was arranged by him alone.Therefore, no matter what Su Zhenxing was asking about, Su Chen would agree.Su Zhenxing had a lot to say to Su Chen, but he didn't know whe
This was not the worst result.Just as Bai Bingbing was cleaning up the mess and trying to minimize their losses to the minimum.Henry suddenly launched a general attack. Several companies outside Su Chen's company provinces were suppressed by Marriott International at the same time.Su Chen had long known that these companies under his name had been discovered by Henry.If that was all, Su Chen wouldn't be worried.However, the person under Su Chen's hand had just called.Su Chen's overseas businesses had been maliciously sold before the stock market was closed.Now that the stock market had been closed, it was impossible for them to buy it immediately.During this period of closing, their stock price would continue to decline.If they couldn't buy those shares as soon as possible before the trading tomorrow.They could only be controlled by others.Su Chen didn't even need to think that who did this to him.He didn't expect Henry to do like this.This was Su Chen's final
Gu Linbei couldn't sense the mixed feelings in Gu Shaohuan's heart.He handed over the results of his efforts in the morning to the Hui family."From today on, the Gu family has nothing to do with me anymore. I have nothing to do with the Gu family anymore."At this moment, Gu Linbei was secretly glad that he was not a good-for-nothing rich second generation in order to prove to his family with Henry.He had secretly saved up his personal savings so that he could speak so confidently in front of Gu Shaohuan at this moment.Gu Shaohuan thought that Gu Linbei would suffer a lot after leaving the Gu family.This kind of revenge just happened to calm down.He didn't expect Gu Linbei to appear in front of him in such a powerful state.Gu Shaohuan didn't want to admit this difference, so he snorted coldly. "You have today's results because of the Gu family. What's there to be proud of now?"Gu Linbei had expected this, as if he had already guessed that Gu Shaohuan would say that."
After Gu Linbei got the computer, he turned off the page of the Gu Group internal web.This was also the reason why Gu Shaohuan no longer insisted.Gu Linbei sent a message, and soon a document came from the other side.After calling Gu Shaohuan over, he opened the document.It was the three companies that had been acquired by the Gu family in the morning and other shares."You're the one who's dealing with the Gu family?!"Gu Shaohuan's first reaction was that Gu Linbei was the one dealing with Gu Group, not that Gu Linbei wanted to help the Gu family.In the face of Gu Shaohuan's reaction, Gu Linbei's first feeling was not anger or disappointment, but relief.Fortunately, this man was not his father.Gu Linbei didn't explain. Instead, he called in all the members of Gu Shao Huan's team."Mr. Gu, he is the mysterious buyer who helped us stabilize the stock market!"He was so excited that he almost called Gu Linbei the son of the Gu family.However, both Gu Shaohuan and Gu
Gu Linbei did not care what Gu Zihang was thinking.He directly pulled her out of Henry's office.Henry looked at Monique’s photos on his desk and ignored them.He was thinking about the reason why Su Chen had attacked the Gu family first...."Zihang, how is it? Have you done it?"Gu Shaohuan had been paying close attention to the curve on the computer.He didn't notice the secretary's expression when she came in and said that Gu Zihang wanted to say something when he came back.When Gu Shaohuan finished asking, there was no response.He raised his head and saw Gu Linbei coming back with Gu Zihang."What are you doing here?" Gu Shaohuan was furious when he saw the son that the Gu family had raised for 20 years.How proud Gu Linbei had been in the past, how much he hated him now.Gu Linbei didn't care about Gu Shaohuan's tone at all. He sat down on the sofa as usual.He was so angry that his nose was crooked."The Gu family is in big trouble, and they can't hold on any lo
Gu Linbei and Su Chen were just so happy, but they made w Gu Shaohuan and Gu Zihang feel so worried.They didn't even have time for lunch and had been busy buying.However, the funds that could be used were quickly finished, so they had no choice but to stop.It wasn't that the Gu family didn't have enough money.The wealth accumulated by the Gu family in the past few lifetimes would not be unable to afford these stocks.Not to mention that the stock loss was so much now.However, most of the Gu family's funds were flowing in the project.They could not be put into use as they wanted.Gu Shaohuan had even used up all of his savings, but it was still useless.It was too late to transfer funds now...Was it really useless now?Just as Gu Shaohuan and his nephew were in despair.The Gu Group found that the decline of the Gu Group's stock gradually stopped."Mr. Gu, look, Mr. Gu! This man seems to be helping the company. The stock doesn’t drop anymore."The leader of the team
Only in this way could he have a better grasp of the initiative.But what could Gu Shaohuan do if he didn't listen to him?The Gu family didn’t have any business in the past two years. Of course, Gu Shaohuan, who needed a large amount of money, would release more shares to gather funds.However, they didn't expect Su Chen to be the one who bought a large number of Gu's stocks and even gave them financial support.Even if they found out, they would not doubt anything.After all, the Su Group had been developing rapidly in City B these years.Early this morning, Su Chen began to sell all the Gu Group stocks at all costs.The Gu Group's stock dropped sharply.At this rate, the Gu family would be forced to leave the city before it was over.Moreover, the other companies of the Gu family were affected.By the time Gu Shaohuan found out about this, three companies under his control had already changed owners.At this time, Gu Shaohuan were anxious, and he was anxiously discussing
