How could it be Mr. CEO! Louise could not believe her eyes. She was so shocked that she did not even realize that the cops had arrived at the scene.

“The cops are here. You’re fine now, you’re fine now,” Monique comforted Louise as she helped her up and patted her shoulder. Louise’s eyes were still widened and she had chills all over her body.

The man in front of her had a body and manner more attractive than top male models as his handsome features were prominent on his frosty look. This elegant, luxurious, and royal-like man would be none other than the Moore Group’s CEO—Henry Moore.

“Bring that disgusting thing away.” He glared at the officers arrogantly, and his voice was cold yet magnetic. He had an inherently royal aura to him.

His temperament pierced through the officers’ hearts. It was terrifying.

‘God damn it, how dare this guy mess with Young Master Moore’s employees? He will be sentenced to jail for sure!’

“Yes… Yes… We’ll take him away. We’ll never let him out and harm others anymore.” The officer next to Henry nodded and bowed respectfully.

The officer chucked the beaten up, middle-aged man into the patrol car and bowed before Henry again. “If you have no other requests, we’ll take our leave.”

Henry nodded slightly as a signal for the cops to leave.

“Thank you, Mr. CEO!” Louise bowed in appreciation. If Monique did not hold her up, she would have been on her knees by now. She still could not believe her eyes.

“Get in,” Henry scoffed. There was no hint of warmth in his voice. His dark eyes glared at Monique before opening the door to the car and he did it all so gracefully.

Henry’s beautiful face was clouded with dissatisfaction. This woman had yet to look him in the eye ever since he walked out of the woods. Was she trying to burn the bridge?

In fact, Monique did not dare to look at him at all. Her heart was still racing thinking about how he carried her into the car. It was uncontrollable.

She had never been carried that way by a man in her life. She felt a sense of security as she laid in those strong arms.

Monique helped Louise into the backseat with Henry. Louise did not dare to sit near him and leaned against the door instead.

Monique got in the car as well. Her clear eyes seemed like shining stars.

She looked at the man in the backseat through the rearview mirror and said, “Let’s send Louise back first. I’m worried about her in this state and it’s impossible to hail a taxi here.” Her voice was gentle and sweet. It sounded refreshing like flowing water in the mountains.

He did not reply, but nodded slightly instead.

After that, he leaned into the backseat lazily, and naturally crossed his long legs. He was bathed in the waning light and he seemed like he had a cool and domineering temperament. His sculpture-like features were a perfect work of art. His cold, deep, dark eyes were exuding a sharp ray of light like an eagle in the night.

The threatening aura exuding from him was dazing.

The atmosphere in the car felt a little tense and stressful once it became quiet.

Why did Monique appear with the CEO?

The CEO was a busy man. It would be nearly impossible for him to realize that an insignificant employee like her was in trouble!

“Why did the CEO come to save me?” Louise could not help herself but asked. She was really curious about it.

“I got him to help. I couldn’t find you after looking around outside your building, and I did not know who else could help me. I had no choice but to ask him!” Monique said with honesty.

Henry’s eyes twitched and his expression became darker than ever. What did she mean by ‘having no choice but to ask him’! Was it so difficult for her to do so?

So that was the case... Then, how did Monique know the CEO? Louise was curious but she did not dare to ask Monique in front of the CEO.

“Thank you so much, if it wasn’t for you, I would have…” Louise looked at Monique thankfully. She did not dare to imagine what could have happened to her.

She might have lost her dignity, she might even have lost her life.

“Thank you, Mr. CEO,” Louise thanked him genuinely.

Henry shut his eyes and ignored her.

There was pin-drop silence in the car and it was awkward.

“You’re welcome. I’ll answer you on behalf of Daddy,” Little Nomi, who had been quiet for some time, turned her head around and said to Louise. Her chubby face was flushed, and her crystal clear, almond-shaped eyes shone like the stars. Her voice was soft and gentle and it was pleasant to the ears.

Bang! Louise froze. It was as if she was struck by lightning. She must have been traumatised, she must have heard her wrong... How could she call the CEO her father?

Impossible! The CEO was not flirty and there were no rumors about him!

“What did you call me?” Henry opened his eyes and asked nonchalantly. It was impossible to tell what he was feeling from his voice, but it gave off a dangerous vibe nonetheless.

Monique was stunned and her heart stopped. Her face was thoroughly flushed. As her heart skipped a beat, she heard Little Nomi’s childish voice call him ‘Daddy’ again.

It was peculiar that Henry was not angry about it at all. His sexy, defined lips seemed like it was grinning. This little girl was brave… She did not fear him at all.

If it was anyone else, they would have been peeing their pants by now.

Louise shivered in shock. She held onto the handle by the window. Her knees were weak… She heard it right this time.

Little Nomi called him her Daddy, and Monique was her mother... Could it be that Mr. CEO and her were…

Louise did not dare to think about it any further because it did not seem like that was the case.

Monique was so embarrassed that she wished she could bury herself in a hole. This was not the first time Little Nomi had called him her father, maybe she wanted a father that badly.

“No… No…” Monique pursed her lips and explained in embarrassment, “Little Nomi never had a father and she really wanted one, so…”

Her heart ached as she spoke. His family status was unmatched and even the police were respectful toward him. How could he be her father?

Monique thought about how he spied on her as she changed her clothes yesterday…

He could never, and cannot, be Little Nomi’s father.

However, Henry was taking a good look at Little Nomi with interest.

Her thin and curved eyebrows, small and straight nose, long and thick eyelashes, as well as demeanor were about 50 or 60 percent like him.

He was never a fan of kids as he had always thought that they were trouble. But he was not resenting Little Nomi at all, he even felt that she was likeable. It was as if something was meant to be.

Could it be that she was the product of that fateful night with this woman?

That could not be!

‘Hm, a DNA test must be done someday!’

After sending Louise home, only Monique and Henry were in the car.

“Thank you so much for today,” Monique said genuinely.

Monique’s heart was warm thinking about how he protected her and asked her to stay in the car with Little Nomi.

Henry’s dark gaze became darker as she just only thought about thanking him.

“Why didn’t you return the clothes today!” Henry lifted his brow. His voice was cold with a hint of dissatisfaction.

    ”Uh… I was busy so I forgot about it…” Monique was stunned. She froze as if she had her acupuncture points pressed. Was he really angry? “Did you really forget about it, or were you not planning to return them?” Henry said while raising his brow. He glared at her with an arrogant look. He seemed like a beautiful, elegant leopard. He might seem nonchalant, but the aura coming off him was still rather threatening. What a petty man... He was really angry about it after all. The warmth Monique felt from him disappeared instantly. “Of course I was planning to return it…” ‘Who wants to keep your clothes!’ Monique pronounced her words but did not finish her sentence. She did not dare to piss him off as Little Nomi was still in the car. Who knew what he would do if he was angry? “Daddy, why don’t you come over to our house to take it? Mommy actually forgot about it!” Little Nomi thought that Daddy had misunderstood her mother. She tried her best to explain on her mother’s behalf.

    “I’ll get lost, I’ll get lost, I’ll get lost, I’ll get lost right away…” Cindy was terrified. The man’s fit body emitted a frosty aura. His dark eyes seemed like two cold, bottomless pools that could swallow people whole, leaving no residue. Cindy could not think. She was so terrified that she fell on the ground. She wanted to get lost, but her limbs were so weak that she could not move. The CEO was a little too scary. He had been telling her to get lost every time he saw her. “Mandy, get in here,” Henry growled. Mandy heard him immediately. She was standing by the door and did not dare to go in. The CEO was mad.“Drag this b*tch out.” His voice was deep, magnetic, and cold. “Bunch of idiots, letting just about anyone in.” “Okay.” Mandy did not dare to cause any delays. She called for two security guards to drag Cindy out of there. She was afraid that she might become collateral damage if she wasted another second. Henry had estimated that it was about time Monique del

    Monique felt like she wanted to die from being struck by lightning. “I don’t want to,” Monique said without hesitation. She wanted nothing more than getting as far as possible from this bastard, let alone being his driver. No one but this woman dared to speak to Henry this way. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to anyone else! There was a sinister smile on his dark expression. “Oh, how do you plan on paying me back then, with your body?” He took a step forward as he spoke and grabbed her by her waist. He pinned her down on his desk, put his face near hers, and licked her on her lips. Monique widened her eyes in shock. She wanted to slap his face in reflex. This shameless bastard. Henry grabbed her thin wrist, raised his brow, and his smile became more sinister than ever. “Let’s talk about compensation after I’m done with my meal. I’ll collect some interest first.” “Henry Moore!” Monique yelled in anger. He went overboard this time. “Yes, here.” Henry stared

    How could there be a man like this, how could there be an *sshole like this! Cindy had been waiting at the lift’s entrance. She was surprised that Monique was not chased out. Her face that was covered with exquisite makeup became more and more hideous by the second. The jealousy in her heart could almost drown Monique. She eventually saw Monique leave the CEO’s office. Monique looked like a zombie as she walked out lifelessly. Cindy’s expression turned passionate in seconds. She came over and held Monique asking, “Monique, why are you only out now? I’ve been waiting for you for some time.” “What were you talking about?” Cindy asked. No one would have guessed that this endearing look came from the same person who accused Monique just before. Monique was frustrated and she needed to vent. “He was collecting his debt,” Monique mumbled. Yes, she must have owed him something in her past life; he was here to collect the debt in this life. ‘Collecting debt?’ Cindy thought to h

    “Fate brought us together outside troubled times, yet destiny brought us to love in the hardest of times…”It was a call from Henry. Monique picked up the call helplessly; she could no longer be angry at him. She was truly afraid of him calling the cops on her and she was willing to slave for him as long as she could stay with Little Nomi. Henry wanted her to move to his villa today to be on call 24/7. Monique agreed; she had no choice but to do so. “Little Nomi, we have to move to that person’s house,” Monique said to her daughter after hanging up the phone. Little Nomi agreed obediently. They packed light and went downstairs. The chauffeur was already waiting downstairs when they arrived. She bowed before Monique and Little Nomi, opened the door for them, and put their luggage into the trunk. The chauffeur stopped at a fenceless luxury villa halfway up the mountain. The villa was extremely grand; a river was shuttled beside it, and it looked as gorgeous as a magnificent pa

    Little Nomi went ahead and played with the toys with Monique’s permission once Mrs. Lee left. Monique unpacked their luggage and truth be told, there was nothing more than clothes. Although it was a great environment, Monique had goosebumps all over thinking about having to spend so much time with that *sshole from now on. She looked over to the man’s bedroom door with curiosity and fear. His door was closed, she did not know if he was in. Meanwhile, Henry was looking at a report with a serious face on the other side of the door. His gaze was a little grim, but there was a hint of excitement on the corner of his lips. The DNA report stated that he was Little Nomi’s father. Monique was the woman he had been looking for for the past five years. No wonder he could fall asleep in her car twice. Little Nomi was his daughter after all and he could not believe that he was the father to such a cute and adorable kid. It was a magical and fortunate feeling; no wonder he liked Lit

    Henry looked at Little Nomi before placing some food in her bowl. His lips curved into a beautiful grin as he said, “Little Nomi, eat this.” Little Nomi smiled at Henry with her big, lively eyes and started eating. The food tasted so good, it was so much better than what she had in restaurants. They seemed so loving with each other that it looked like they were father and daughter for years. Monique was shocked. Was this the same man who threatened her in the morning! Nonetheless, she decided to speak her mind since he seemed happy right now. “Can I continue taking orders from Stormchase whenever you’re not using the car?” Monique said to Henry with a smile. She had an eager look on her face as she added, “I want to earn more money to pay my debt.” “Sure,” Henry replied with a smile. Monique was pleasantly stunned. She blinked in disbelief. Was that it? That was easy! She had been anxious about this the entire day. This man was pretty decent when he acted normally. Not

    ‘What are you embarrassed about? We even had a kid…’“Can you do something else rather than threaten me all the time?” Monique felt extremely wronged. She was mad about getting bullied by him all the time.“I can sleep with all sorts of women. Do you think that I’m interested in you because of your body?”Henry’s tone was arrogant. His jet black eyes deepened slightly and he looked at her from top to toe in clear distaste.He had a point. He could have a bunch of women running into his arms whenever he wanted with his money and his looks.“Why are you clinging onto me then?” Monique grumbled.“I have serious insomnia and I can’t sleep. It seems like I can only sleep well when you’re by my side,” Henry stated, his cold and teasing tone sounded like a melodious lullaby.“I’ve been having the problem for many years yet I fell asleep in your car twice. Don’t you think that this is something?” Henry reminded nonchalantly.‘That dumb woman!’ Henry thought to himself.“I’ll sleep her

    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

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
