Monique’s heart dropped. Henry intended to let her make a fool of herself in public—it was his way of reminding her of her status.She would do as he pleases and dance then. It was not the first time she would be mocked by others anyway.Furthermore, did he think that she would be the only one who would be publicly embarrassed?Monique raised her chin defiantly and stared at Henry. “Teach me then!”“Why should I teach you? Look at how others dance and just follow them,” he replied with a raised brow.Monique clenched her jaw and began to imitate their movements. However, dancing was still too foreign for her. She kept stepping onto other people’s feet, sometimes even Henry’s as well.She felt a strange sense of satisfaction when she saw Henry frowning. She thought, ‘Serves you right! Who told you to make me do this, you punk!’The panicked expression on her face gradually transformed into a small grin.The people dancing around them were annoyed after being stepped on by Moniqu
Monique planned to step back after planting a few kisses, but Henry threaded his slender fingers into her long locks and gently held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.He kissed her until she was out of breath, slowly losing her senses as she forgot where she was and how to breathe. She felt as though she no longer had control of her body and her heartbeat.Monique was of the opinion that if he did not have his arms around her, she might have collapsed to the floor.He continued to kiss her for quite a while before he stopped. Her face was bright red from blushing, she was also gasping for air as if her brain was depleted from oxygen.“How initiative of you,” he said in a sexy and magnetic voice. There was mockery in his tone, with an underlying hint of happiness.He glanced through the crowd and saw that Nick was no longer standing at the corner.He wanted to show him that she was his and no one was allowed to touch her. He was pleasantly surprised when she initiated th
Monique was just Henry’s lover, it did not matter if he believed her.He could give her to someone else whenever he pleased without any reason.That was why Monique did not bother why Henry mentioned Star River Residence. She had no idea what he was up to, but it was none of her concern.She was just a speck of dust in his hand. He would let her go one day and that would be when she regained her freedom.It was just a matter of time, and she was willing to wait.She kept quiet while she watched the passing scenery through the car window. He was also silent, his eyes half-closed.The car parked in front of Star River Residence.It was an upper-class residential area in a serene and secluded area located in the middle of the bustling city.It also had beautiful landscaping. Henry walked in with Monique following right behind him.The lift stopped at the eighth floor. Henry opened the door and Monique entered after him.The interior decoration was very luxurious. Monique was uns
Henry leisurely replied a gentle “Uhm” with his magnetic voice.He uncrossed his long legs and stood up. He then removed his suit in an elegant manner.Henry slowly unbuttoned his pastel shirt until they were all released, exposing his attractive clavicle, muscular chests, and the perfect Apollo’s belt.His movements were elegant yet casual, unbothered by the fact that there was a woman standing in front of him.Monique’s heart was pounding as though it was about to burst out of her chest. His perfect figure and flawless features were too beguiling.It was difficult not to be distracted by such an enticing sight.Monique—who was such a reserved person—could not stop herself from blushing.She turned her head away and averted her gaze, but she could not resist stealing a few glances from the corner of her eye.She should not fall for him again. He just said that he would give her to someone else.Even though Henry was Monique’s weakness, she was also a human being with emotions
Henry’s hurtful words were ringing in her brain. Monique felt as though her heart was tearing apart. It was his way of telling her that she did not have a choice. Monique clenched a fist and thought it was just a bath. They had slept together before already anyway…Monique turned off the emotional turmoil inside of her and pursed her lips. She then put on the same polite and demure smile. “Umm...”She turned her head in another direction and bypassed him to enter the bathroom.Henry curled his lips in amusement and watched as she suppressed her feelings and scrambled her way to the bathroom.Her adorable expression tempted him to tease her further.Henry walked in without a single piece of clothing on his body.At first, Monique was facing the bath, refraining herself from looking at him. Nevertheless, when he was slowly approaching, she could not resist lifting her head to look at him.There he was, laying bare in front of her. She saw all of him.Her face flushed bright red i
“Look at you, so impatient,” Henry teased.Monique stood there speechless as if she was struck by lightning. She watched Henry step into the bathtub casually and his body disappeared into the water.She almost exploded in anger. Was he trying to make her lose her mind?Impatient!? Who was the impatient one?!‘Calm down, Monique. He’s intentionally provoking you,’ she thought.Henry teased her on purpose. She would not let him get what he wants.Monique bit her lips and stayed quiet while she took the towel to scrub his back.Monique tried to avoid looking at the sensitive area, but when her hands accidentally touched his skin, she felt a jolt of electricity and retracted her hands immediately.Henry’s lips curved silently when he saw her reddened ears and the range of emotions on her face.Monique was stunned for a bit and she mocked herself. They had just shared an intimate night the day before!She then put her hands back onto his back and started scrubbing.Her eyes kept
Monique threw the towel into the bathtub, causing a splash. “Is this funny to you?”Henry wiped away the water droplets on his face and said, “Passable.”Monique gritted her teeth and forced out the words. “Don’t overdo it.”“But I want to.” Henry smirked, challenging her.Monique felt like drowning the incorrigible man in the bathtub.She was exasperated.The thought was turned into action.She pressed down on the man’s back with all her weight.It was an unexpected turn of events and Henry was pushed down into the water. He was filled with anger and amusement.However, Henry Moore was not a pushover.He would have his revenge.His hand shot out from the water and grabbed Monique’s arm, tugging her into the bathtub.Monique’s smaller stature made fighting back impossible. Henry pulled her into his embrace.The bathtub had enough space to fit two bodies comfortably.Monique glared at the handsome face before her. How did she end up in the bathtub? Clearly, her plan had fa
Monique tasted the coppery tang of blood on her tongue. She unclenched her jaw and saw her handiwork. Blood oozed out from the wound as she let out a cry. “I really thought you wanted to send me off.”Something flashed in Henry’s eye when he realized she was afraid of being sent away.The fact that Monique wanted to stay by his side made him happy. He softened his tone as he said, “Fortunately, you had the sense to come back to me, else you would’ve given me no choice but to send you away.”As tears streamed down her face, she stuttered, “You weren’t worried I would leave with him?”Henry carried her out of the bathtub and gave her a sly grin. “And leave Angel to me?”His words were half joking and half serious.“In your dreams.” Monique’s expression shifted immediately, the crying woman was gone. “Angel is just a child. Don’t you dare drag her into this. If you hurt a hair on her head, I’ll kill you!”The threat was delivered in all seriousness.Henry’s lips twitched. What was
"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
