Monique exclaimed in shock, “Confiscated?!”She stared at Henry in disbelief. Was he out of his mind? Who gave him the right to take her things?All of her identity documents were in that bag, how could he take them away just like that?Henry looked at her horrified expression and wondered why she was dissatisfied even when he treated her so well.Henry looked at her and said casually, “I’ve bought you so many bags today. Aren’t those enough? You also have a new phone. Why do you need your old one?”Monique glared at the man in front of her. This was just ridiculous!It was his way of telling her ‘out with the old, in with the new’.She decided to endure. ‘They were just documents’, she told herself.She tightened her grip around the new phone. She wanted to smash it on Henry’s head. That brat!However, she could only imagine it in her mind.She stared at him with her big, round eyes. “Have you transferred my SIM card?”“Nope, my contact, Mandy’s, and Mrs. Lawson’s phone num
Even though Monique had doubts that Henry would buy her a house, she still had her hopes up. After all, that was what people usually bought for their lovers. With the fortune Henry had, it was not entirely impossible for him to get her a house of her own.She also saw the bunch of keys that Shaun brought along with the phone.It would be great if he did. Moore manor was located outside the city and it was quite a distance from their workplace. Mrs. Lawson treated her very well, but the other servants in the house viewed her differently even though they were friendly and respectful on the surface, which made her feel uneasy.Monique was used to living alone. She was uncomfortable being in the same living space with so many people.Also, this place was very near to Angel’s kindergarten, which made it more convenient to send her to school. She got down from the car quietly and raised her head to stare at the residence as a flash of light flickered in her eyes.Henry remained seated i
Monique’s eyes lit up when she saw Angel and smiled brightly, “Little Angel, I’m here.”Even though she knew that Angel had seen her, she could not help but wave excitedly; her eyes full of affection.Angel’s classroom was on the second floor. When the bell rang, the teachers would bring all of them downstairs and gather the children in a huge classroom. When Miss Christine saw Monique, she took Angel’s hand and led her to the gate.When Monique saw that it was Miss Christine, she was slightly relieved.Miss Christine walked toward her with a big smile. “Are you Angel Xander’s mother?”Monique finally came to her senses and realized that she kept calling Angel’s nickname.“Yes, I’m Angel’s mother,” Monique answered with a gentle smile, “thank you, Miss Christine. How did Little Angel do today?”“Sorry, I meant Angel,” Monique corrected herself. She was so used to calling her daughter by her nickname.Miss Christine replied, “Angel did really well today. She even got a small red
Monique was a little bummed when she heard her reply, “Just a little?”Angel did not respond to her question. Instead, she stared at Monique's nice clothing and asked, “Where’s daddy? Why is he not here?”Her mommy looked so pretty in these clothes, elegant and smart. With just one look, she knew that it was definitely bought by daddy.Mommy would never spend on such expensive items.Angel evaded her question and asked about that bastard. Monique got angry when she heard Henry being mentioned.He acted like a gentleman in the morning, buying her clothes and shoes, and even treating her to a nice meal.Then, he drove her to a residential area and dropped her off at the entrance. When she had her hopes up, he abandoned her and drove off.What in the world?Did he intend to insult her on purpose?It could be his way of showing her that no matter how well he treated her, she was just his lover and he could abandon her anytime he wanted.Monique lowered her head and stared at Ange
Monique forced a reply. “Daddy… Daddy had to leave because of an emergency. Let’s head home, shall we?”Angel pouted. “How are we going home?”Monique said with a lowered voice, “How about we walk home?”Angel sniffed and stared at Monique with widened eyes. There were still tear droplets on her thick, long lashes. “Mommy, did you and Daddy fight?”Monique was stunned. She was totally being bullied by him and had no chance to fight back at all. She took in a deep breath and shook her head while she wiped away Angel’s tears. “No, we didn’t. Why would we fight? Daddy even bought mommy new clothes today.”Monique pointed at her clothing and felt a sense of guilt creeping in. She had been feeling the same guilt since she agreed to be Henry’s lover.She had to console herself that Angel was very attached to Henry because she had just gotten a father figure in her life. She would grow out of it after some time.Also, she would spend less time with Henry after going to kindergarten.S
Monique dialed the only number she could remember, which was Henry’s. After the call went through, it only rang twice before she got cut off.She called him again and the same thing happened.Monique frowned. ‘Henry Moore, you bastard! Pick up the phone!’He must be doing this deliberately.How could he do this after confiscating her bag and phone? Oh… he did give her a new phone but she left it in the car. Anyway, it was Henry’s fault that she had gotten into such a mess.‘Hmph, this weasel!’‘Bastard!’No matter how much Monique swore internally, she still could not get through to him. In the end, it seemed like he blocked the number as her call went straight into voicemail.Angel was worried when she saw Monique frown. “What is it? Daddy didn’t pick up the phone?” Monique nodded helplessly. “Yeah, he didn’t.”Miss Sophia saw the deep frown on Monique’s face and asked, “Angel’s mom, is there a problem?”“Mommy forgot to bring her purse and phone out. We can’t go home,” Ange
“One… two… three… The big bad wolf is coming after you!” Monique made a funny face. Angel ran out happily when she saw Monique’s expression. “You can’t catch me! I’m the best…”Monique turned around to look at Miss Sophia who had just entered her office. She planned to pay her gratitude one day. Then, she left and ran after Angel.Miss Sophia walked out of her office with the cash on hand, but Monique was nowhere to be found. She walked to the main entrance but there were no signs of both of them. She let out a sigh and walked back.There were still a bunch of kids waiting in the classroom. She could not just leave them alone and chase after them. She wondered how they would find a way to go home.Angel ran for a moment before feeling exhausted and famished. She pouted. “Mommy, I’m hungry.”Monique was not that hungry as she had eaten so much food in the afternoon. However, she had walked all the way from Star River Residence to the kindergarten and ran after Angel for quite a dis
Monique’s retaliation probably triggered Henry’s desire to conquer her.If she stopped being so reserved and turned into a gold-digging whore, he might lose interest in her soon.She would give everything for the sake of her daughter. Her biggest fear was that Angel would not be willing to leave Henry.At that moment, she decided that she would give up fighting and surrender fully.Angel woke up from hunger. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw her mother crying beside her. She called out concernedly, “Mommy, what happened?”Monique quickly wiped her tears away, but her eyes were red and puffy. “Nothing, the dust got into my eyes.”Angel was fully awake and stared at her with eyes wide opened as though she could see through her soul. She used her tiny hands to wipe the tears from Monique’s face. “Did Daddy bully you, Mommy?”Monique’s eyes flickered. “No, he didn’t. Mommy’s just hungry.”Angel knew that her mom rarely cried, probably Monique had never shed any tears in front o
"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
