Monique joyfully came down from the car when she reached home. She was holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a tiny cake in the other. Angel was playing in the courtyard as Mrs. Lawson kept her company. She happily ran over when she saw Monique arrive. She raised her rosy face and pink lips up at her mom and said, “Mommy.”Monique nodded. She raised her slender arm, and excitedly answered, “Look what mommy brought for you!”“A cake from my favourite shop!” Angel shouted in surprise. “Mommy, muah!”Angel blew her a kiss. She pointed the cup in Monique’s other hand and thought that it was also for her. “What about this?”“This is coffee! Not for you.” The corner of Monique’s lips raised shyly as her face unknowingly blushed. Mrs. Lawson was smiling the whole time and did not speak a word as she watched them. Monique raised her eyes and saw Mrs. Lawson smiling. She asked softly and awkwardly, “Where’s Chairman Moore?”“The Young Master asked the driver to send Angel home fi
Monique was holding the coffee she bought earlier, nervously walking toward the swimming pool. Her heart got faster the close she got to the swimming pool. Her blushed face was filled with shyness.Henry was swirling the red wine in the glass by the poolside. He had a bath towel around his lower body, revealing his strong-looking chest. He squinted his eyes and he habitually pursed his sexy lips, looking stern and lofty. He lazily leaned on the chair. His flawless, handsome face looked wild and unruly like a king. “Ahem...” Monique coughed lightly. Her heartbeat uncontrollably quickened. Henry raised his eyes and took a glance at her indifferently. She was wearing a bean-green puff sleeve top with a pair of beige, casual wide-leg pants. Her excellent figure looked more slender under the outline of the clothes. The bean-green puff sleeve top was dotted in black which made her look like the gentle and cute girl next door.Her palm-sized face was matte and exquisite, and her
Would such a hateful and domineering person fall in love with Monique? Did Henry kiss her passionately because he had fallen in love with her? She had never kissed anyone and felt that passionate kisses only existed between lovers. In the heat of the moment, Monique asked him the question that had been at the back of her mind for a few days. “Do you like me?”She asked softly, but her voice sounded sweet and clear with a hint of hesitance—it was incredibly gentle. Her delicate face turned red like a ripe and sweet cherry that exuded a charming fragrance. She looked shy in his eyes. She regretted it the moment the words came out from her mouth. She should not have said that.Henry was stunned. There was a flame flashing through his deep dark eyes and he could feel the heat on his chest. However, he felt stuffed as he pictured her holding a man’s hand by the roadside all of a sudden. This woman was debauchery!Henry dropped his gaze as his indifferent look fell upon her
It turned out that Monique had been overthinking! She must have been muddle-headed when she asked that question. She did not dare to look at Henry’s dark eyes. She secretly took a deep breath, trying hard to calm herself down. She raised her eyes after a few seconds. Bearing it with her painful heart, she pretended to be relieved. She smiled sweetly, “You’re the one who’s overthinking. Who cares to be your lover? There are rumors flying around these days. I’m just worried that you’d fall in love with me. It’s good that you do not so that we can save ourselves from hassles in the future. I’ll work hard to earn money and leave immediately after I’ve cleared the debt.”Monique’s smile was beautiful. A vortex appeared as she smiled and her eyes shone like bright stars immersed in the light. However, she felt terrible, almost to a point where breathing was difficult. It turned out that she was only a debtor and bed warmer to him. She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Her disdainf
“I didn't know you can’t swim!” Henry’s voice was low and hoarse.For a proud man like him, explaining was the best he could do. It was impossible for him to apologize.“Even if I can swim, how could you just throw me into the water? I’m a human. I have my dignity!” Monique restrained the trembling of her body and roared loudly, revealing hatred in her eyes. She held her head like a proud swan, looking at his handsome face. Her heart was no longer throbbing like before, and her eyes looked surprisingly calm. “If you have your dignity, you shouldn’t have hooked up with another man. I allowed you to go on holiday so you could rest at home, not to hook up with another man.” Henry’s voice was low and cold just like the winter wind. Monique was stunned. Hooked up with another man? Since when did she hook up with another man? Nick?She was speechless! Nick had only rescued her. Monique’s clothes were wet and she felt chilly in the cold weather. She started shivering. “Even
“You can laugh now. If I throw you in again and you can’t swim up, no one’s going to save you. Sigh... What would happen to the cute, little Angel then? She’s just so cute. I don’t mind raising her but if she becomes a motherless child, what a pity that would be!” Henry said coldly to Monique. Those words pierced her heart. Achilles’ heel. That was Monique’s Achilles’ heel. Her face was paler and more fatigued than before. However, she stayed calm as the situation became dangerous. If he threw her in, he would have insomnia again. Even though she was scared and helpless, she was not willing to surrender in front of this man. Monique was certain that he would not let her die there, otherwise he would not have saved her. As a preventive measure, Monique hugged Henry tight like an octopus and smiled provocatively. “I don't want to go down but I’ll never be your lover. Bastard, wouldn't you have insomnia without me? If you threw me down, no one’s going to warm the bed for you!”
Monique was struggling to refuse the bath towel. Was this a carrot and stick situation?She did not need this.“Get dressed, and don’t catch a cold. You’ll be working a full day starting from tomorrow and you’re not allowed to go out to take orders anymore.” Henry’s tone was cold and threatening. ‘Do not ever think of escaping from me!’“You...” It turned out that he was worried she would fall sick and not be able to go to work.Monique’s eyes turned red and her tears threatened to flow from her eyes. She did not wish to provoke him anymore so she turned around, wrapped herself in the towel, and walked toward the room. The following days were surprisingly calm. Monique sent Henry to the company as usual. Henry was overreacting again, as if they were suddenly back on track. She sent him to work and waited for him to get off work at the office. Then she picked him up from work, ate together, slept together, yet they did not speak a word to each other. Mrs. Lawson got anxious wh
It sounded like a good plan. The embarrassment Monique was suffering from those few days was unspeakably depressing, she nearly suffocated. She needed to catch a breath. She wanted to go back very much. Besides, missed her grandfather immensely. “Sure. I’ll take a leave and go home,” Monique answered. She increased the volume of her voice just so that he could hear it. Monique hung up the phone and walked over. “I need to take two days off.” A clear and stubborn voice broke the silence in the office. For a long time, the house was completely silent. His handsome and sharp face looked cold. His thin lips were pressed tightly and his cold vibes became stronger. After a while, he closed the document, raised his eyes, and gazed at her. He casually leaned on the chair with both of his legs naturally overlapped. He looked like an emperor with his elegant temperament. Monique’s heart was beating fast. The man in front of him—regardless of his hairstyle, height, or clothing
"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
