Henry felt as if his heart was bitten by thousands of ants. He could not tell if it was pain or anger that he was experiencing. Hidden under that cold, hard expression was a pang of jealousy.If Simon appeared in front of him right now, he would strangle him to death.The owner stared at this man who was as cold as the grim reaper.Her knees trembled. Was he offended by what she just said?She had never seen a man like him with such a strong presence. She watched him walk out of the shop with the bottle of mineral water.Only after he had left, she blurted out mechanically, “Sir, you haven’t paid for the water!”However, her voice was so soft that it was drowned by the background noise.The man who walked out of the convenience store had a terrifyingly fierce expression, like a demon from hell. His dark eyes were layered with frost and had a murderous look in them. When he strode past passersby, they could feel a gust of cold wind that made them look up to the sky, wondering whe
“I’m not lying. Daddy took us in and told me himself. We stayed in a room that’s fit for a princess. Daddy always brought lots of tasty snacks. He even built a huge playground for me and sent me meals with a plane,” Angel said with a sweet smile.Her eyes gleamed victoriously while she stared at the ugly faces in front of her who twisted in anger and jealousy.How did you like that!Living in a princessy room!Served with delicious snacks every day!Flew in meals!Who would not have liked this treatment?Yvonne Xander stared at the tiny face; her rosy cheeks, pointy nose, and long, thick lashes resembled his charming features. She was about to combust with jealousy.Yvonne reached out to have grabbed hold of Angel and shook her violently while she screamed in denial, “Impossible! Monique is an unwanted child and so are you!”Angel’s expression darkened. Even though she had been much smaller than Yvonne, her presence triumphed hers. She raised her head proudly like a princess w
However, she had no evidence that she had been thrown across the room. She stammered, “Sorry…I accidentally fell down…Are you okay? I didn’t hurt you, did I?”Siobhan had been shocked. What had just happened?She put Angel down in a hurry and rushed to help Yvonne up, “Are you so beguiled by him that you can’t even walk properly?”Yvonne blushed in embarrassment and mumbled, “Mom!”Henry carried Angel and placed her on a chair. His movements had been so elegant and familiar that it showed that he had done this very often.“Daddy, I really missed you. I haven’t seen you in days,” Angel pouted and said in her cute, soft voice.Henry stared at her puffy cheeks and teary eyes, the coldness in his eyes disappeared instantly.He gently pinched Angel’s chubby face with his slender fingers, and said affectionately, “Daddy will never leave you again.”Angel grinned from ear to ear when she heard him say that. She tiptoed and planted a kiss on Henry’s cheek, “Yay! Daddy, Mommy, and I wil
Yvonne Xander snickered. After careful observation, she noticed that something had been off. She stopped smiling and answered thoughtfully, “I’m not too sure. They were always together before and after class. There were rumors about them being a couple but I’m not sure if it’s true. Monique didn’t tell me because she was afraid my dad would have found out.”Henry pressed his lips tightly after hearing what she said with a vicious look in his eyes. Yvonne shuddered in fear as she felt the atmosphere around them thickened instantly.If Yvonne had bluntly said that they had been a couple, he would not have believed her. However, she described it with euphemistic terms, and with the way Monique had reacted this afternoon, he had been pretty convinced that she had been telling the truth.He felt threatened.Did she go back to look for him!That damn woman.Yvonne sniggered internally when she saw Henry’s expression. ‘Monique, I would make him mine.’At that moment, Zephyrus returned
In a haze, she saw a familiar figure from afar.He had been slim and tall, having sat quietly while he sipped on his drink.Monique scoffed and poured herself another drink. She gagged with disgust when Henry’s face appeared in her mind.The person who sat next to Simon Leeds whispered in his ear with a smirk, “Simon, you’re in luck. There’s a girl over there who keeps staring at you.”He then pointed at the intoxicated woman.Simon followed the direction of his fingers and looked over. After a while, he finally saw a woman who had been chugging her drinks. He frowned and walked over in large steps“Monique! Why are you drinking so much?!” Simon took Monique’s glass away and yelled at her because the music had been too loud.It took Monique a while before she turned around to have looked at the man beside her. After a few moments, she finally realized that she had not been dreaming, “Simon?”“Come and have a few glasses with me,” Monique invited him happily, “I’m so glad to see
Henry searched both sides of the streets for Monique while he drove.When his phone rang, he immediately answered, “Any updates?”Shaun’s voice sounded from the other end excitedly, “She’s in Blues Bar.”“Blues Bar!” Henry furrowed his brows. Five years had passed since she had last gone there. Why did she visit that place again?What had she planned to do?A horrifying thought crossed Henry’s mind.Had she lost her mind and gone looking for other men?Henry rammed his car and ignored the traffic lights, almost having caused an accident on his way there.He parked right in front of Blues Bar.Henry opened the door hurriedly and jumped out of the car.He walked past his car and had been about to have dashed into the bar. When he saw the two figures in front of him, he halted in his tracks. His slender body formed a towering shadow under the illumination of the signboards, having given off a blood-curling vibe.His charming features looked so cold as if they had been covered b
Henry frowned and his expression darkened. His lips curled into a vicious grin and said, “You asked for it.”He strode forward and yanked the drunk woman away roughly from Simon, while he threw a punch at him with his other hand.Simon collapsed onto the ground, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away with his hand and stood up.Simon also tried to take Monique from him but Henry dodged his attempt and he missed her. However, he spun around and landed his fist on Henry’s face.Henry had not seen that coming as he was focused on Monique. Blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth and he spat on the ground as if he could not have felt any pain. His eyes blackened and he had given out a murderous look.Simon walked toward him fearlessly, with clenched fists and roared, “If you don’t know how to treasure her, let her go! She deserves better!”Anger had been boiling inside him as he held onto Monique tightly. When Simon threw another punch at him, he did not sh
Night has turned to day, nascent rays of the rising sun peered through the window.The man gave a tender kiss on the swollen lips of the woman before having dozed off contentedly.The room had been brightly lit when it approached noon.Monique opened her eyes slowly, with a throbbing pain in her head. Her entire body had been incredibly sore. There had been a lingering scent in the room, which had been a result of a steamy affair.She looked around and had a feeling of déjà vu. The room looked rather familiar, the decor had almost been similar to the one she found herself in five years ago.She had been stunned. Had she travelled back in time?She closed her eyes, fragments of memories flashed in her mind. There had been someone who nibbled on her lips, hovered over her while he thrusted into her. Monique’s eyes shot open and peered under the covers. She had been horrified to have found herself not having had on a single piece of clothing and had been totally naked!There had be
"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
