The ringtone of the handphone was heard once again. Henry tapped the ashes from the cigarette into an ashtray. He picked up the handphone, glared at the incoming call on the screen, and switched off the handphone.Henry knew Monique's intention for calling. She wanted to plead for Simon. 'She's so persistent.'Henry frowned as he put on a cold expression.Did Henry not treat Monique well enough?Henry had treated her very well, yet Monique kept challenging his limits.'That b*tch. She thinks she’s everything to me?'Judging from Henry's action, Logan felt a malicious vibe. That call was from Monique, so why did Henry refuse to pick up and keep being so mad? Logan started to develop an interest in Monique.A light glinted in Logan's eyes and he curled his sexy lips. "Is it that woman?"Henry coldly stared at the nosy Logan.Logan felt his scalp tingle; his hands were shaking. Nevertheless, Henry continued glaring at him.Logan, who was still curious, thought it best to be on t
'What an ungrateful woman! Why did I come to like such a woman! In her dreams! I'm just teasing her. That's all! It's just because she's Angel's mother!'Perhaps that was why Henry was treating her differently.Henry was apoplectic with rage when he thought back to Monique, who was willing to do anything for Simon.The room seemed to have dropped a few degrees, freezing over, as soon as Logan finished.Logan smiled and put on an 'It's alright if you don't feel like answering' expression. In fact, Logan knew what Henry's answer to his question was.Just when Logan was still thinking of ways to convey his opinion, Mandy showed up at the doorway, knocking.Logan sat up straight and extinguished the fire on his cigarette.The entire office was filled with the cigarette scent. Mandy, with a smile on her face, came in and said, "Mr. Moore, there’s an important meeting in five minutes."Henry nodded. He let a lot of unsettled business compile over the past two days when he was not in
In the end, Louise was left with no choice but to go back home. Monique was being persistent.Monique managed to get herself a cab.“To the Marriott International!” Monique told the driver, then gazed at the scenery out of the window, daydreaming.Monique was thinking about the kindergarten that Simon started on and did not wish for the kindergarten to vanish because of her.Moreover, she could not bear to see Simon imprisoned because of her.Ever since her grandfather passed, Simon was the only person aside from her uncle that treated her well.No, Simon treated her better than her uncle.Monique had always thought of Simon as her family.Therefore, she had the obligation to head over to Henry and plead for Simon.The moment she saw the photos with Simon and her circulated in the company’s group, she could already make out the reason behind Henry’s rage.Henry treated Monique as a mistress and those pictures had drastically emasculated Henry. It led to him feeling disgusted
Staring at the birds flying around freely out of the window made Monique envious. ‘I wish I could fly!’ “Young lady, we’ve arrived.” The driver interrupted Monique’s imagination. The Marriott International building looked extremely grand. Standing in front of the building made Monique feel tiny. Her face paled subconsciously, and her cold sweat formed on her forehead. Mixed feelings glittered in her black eyes when the thought of her standing in front of Henry for a negotiation struck her mind. She took a deep breath and marched to the hall of the Marriott International. However, she changed her direction of approach as though something struck her mind and she headed to the underground parking lot of the Marriott International. That was her first time appearing in the company since her photos were circulated. Previously, everyone in the company thought she had a flirtatious relationship with the chairman. With the circulating pictures, everyone in the company would be g
Father and daughter! It was as though the world had crumbled. Monique suddenly understood the entire incident. All this while, she could not comprehend Henry’s actions and finally she understood why Henry always chose her over other women. Her face, which was already pale, now paled even more. Her hands were shaking as she held the documents. Previously, she could not comprehend why Henry treated Angel so well--so exceptionally well to a point where she thought that Henry might be a pedophile. She could not make out why would Henry, a nobleman, would suddenly treat them so well. On a few occasions, Henry would confidently say to Angel, “I’m your father!” At that moment, Monique dared not imagine it to be true. Whenever he said that he was Angel’s father, she would think of it as a joke. She did not think that it would be possible. However, the report before her clearly stated their relationship. Monique subconsciously got to her feet and walked out of the office. Th
Monique walked toward the rock on the seashore and climbed it. The rocks were small and easy to climb. There were quite a number of people taking photos there. She just wanted to be alone, so she went to the other side and climbed up a larger rock. She did not notice the good-looking man following her not far off. She climbed up the largest rock and looked at the sea. This was her first time coming to the beach; she stood there and closed her eyes to feel the sea breeze.When Logan noticed her dim eyes as she walked on the beach, he started to get worried about her and thought she might end her own life. He quietly followed her, and just when he was close to her, she stretched out her arms all of the sudden. Logan thought she wanted to die, so he quickly shouted in panic. “Monique! Miss Xander! Don’t do anything reckless!”Monique shut her eyes to feel the vast ocean, then she heard someone calling her name. Was that an imaginary voice? How could it be possible? Nobody knew her here.
Logan thought Monique wanted to shake his hand off and jump into the sea. He anxiously walked toward her to pull her back, but she stepped back unintentionally.“Careful!” Logan reached out his long arm to hold her hand, but he slipped and was dragged down along with her. He pulled her into his arms and did a flip before they fell into the water. They were surrounded by seawater in an instant. The water flowed into her mouth, nose and ears… She had not rested for two days and was lethargic. Her energy was completely drained after a few struggles. Even though there were people nearby, they might not have noticed what happened. Her consciousness slowly blurred, but the image in her mind grew clearer. In that scene, she was reading a story to Angel; it was a story about the wolf and seven lambs. Henry was playing the role of the wolf. The three of them were a happy and harmonious family.Logan was loud when he shouted “Careful!”; many visitors nearby could hear him. They looked in the
“Did someone come into the office earlier?” Henry asked in a cold tone. His deep voice was cold, like a breeze from the North Pole.The secretary could not help a cold shiver down her spine. Miss Xander did come when she went for a bathroom break. When the secretary was thinking of a nice way to put it so she would not be scolded, Henry glared at her coldly. The secretary quickly answered, “Miss Xander went into the office earlier. I was in the bathroom and she walked into the room by herself. I only saw her when she came out.”“Was there anything strange when she came out?” He was shocked.“She was a little weird when she came out. I called her and she ignored me, but I can assure you that she did not take anything from the office. Her hands were empty.” The secretary almost cried when she said this. The way he looked at her was scary.Henry was sure that Monique was the one who read the document, and she read the DNA test result as well. Suddenly, he recalled an incident: the ima
"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
