“Monique! You silly girl! Fool me, will you!” Henry yelled. His handsome face twisted in anger. His tightly pressed lips and wrinkled eyes turned into an icy expression.“What is it?” Monique stared at Henry with her almond-shaped eyes in silence for almost a minute before asking. She was puzzled. There was no need to be this angry, even if he did hate the taste of the coffee she bought.Angel was startled too. Daddy had always been very gentle with her. She had never seen him lose his temper. No wonder Mommy looked unhappy.“Come here.” There was a frosty bite in his deep voice.His chiseled face looked unusually fierce; his gaze on her was cold and chilly.Monique felt the atmosphere in the office drop to a freezing temperature. His cold expression and tense muscles were all signs that he was truly angry.She had no idea what she did wrong. She just wanted to treat him to a cup of coffee.Goodness gracious!Monique was about to lose it when she stared at the temperamental man
Monique’s pupils darted around while her mind rapidly churned. She tried to figure out where it went wrong. She returned to the office right after she bought the coffee and did not wander around. Who would want to frame her!Cindy Lee!It had to be her!After a moment, she said with realization, “It must be Cindy Lee!“She doesn’t like me and probably thought I bought it for myself, so she decided to sabotage my drink. She didn’t know that I bought it for you,” Monique honestly explained her suspicions to Henry.Monique’s cheeks puffed up in anger. She regretted clapping back at Cindy, which led to this misunderstanding. However, she felt that Cindy went too far.She lifted her gaze to look at Henry. His face was dangerously close to hers; there was a strange glow in his cold, dark eyes. If he came any closer, their lips would touch.He still wanted to punish her. There was no way she could get out of it!Monique gave him a pleading expression with her almond-shaped eyes when s
“Monique Xander!” Cindy lifted her head in shock as she stared at an enraged Monique for quite some time, unable to react.She had just lifted her head when she heard someone calling her name and was immediately splashed with coffee. The brown liquid flowed down her face onto her blue uniform, destroying her makeup and soiling her clothes along with it.Her ruined makeup made her look like a ghost.She glared at Monique furiously. She then glanced at her colleagues and something struck her. Suddenly, her eyes turned red and watery. Her tears filled her eyes, on the verge of falling. She pretended to be confused and asked weakly, “Monique, what are you doing? We can talk this out. Why did you throw your drink at me?”Monique watched Cindy’s Oscar-worthy act speechlessly as she transformed into a sobbing, pitiful mess.A guy who was rather close to Cindy stepped out and defended her, “That’s right; you shouldn’t do that.”“Did you know that she added heaps of salt into my coffee?”
“Right, she was just a janitor back then. Now that she’s someone’s mistress, she’s acting like this. I’ve never seen someone so shameless.”“She probably doesn’t know who the father of her daughter is.”“I know right, Cindy would never stoop to her level.”“Such a vain gold-digging woman.”The people around them started criticizing Monique.“That’s enough, Monique. Get out of here before I throw you out!” Sacha said sternly and frowned in disdain. If not for the customers, he would have splashed the coffee back at her.Cindy curled her lips wickedly and could not suppress a triumphant glare. Monique did not stand a chance against her; she would just humiliate herself.Cindy felt satisfied to see Monique fuming in anger.Monique was dumbfounded. No one believed her! She touched her forehead helplessly.She tried her best to calm down. Then, she frowned and scowled, “This coffee is not for me. It’s for Marriott’s Chairman Moore. Cindy, your actions will cost Mansion Coffee to lo
“Young Master Moore… Please be the judge of this.” Cindy reacted almost immediately. She approached him with teary eyes and a distressed expression.She wanted to hold his arm, but she stopped in front of him and dared not take one more step toward him after seeing the stern expression on his tense face.She was not bold enough to look him in the eye. It was as if this man had the power to look right through her and expose her lies.Her pitiful expression made it more believable that she was innocent.As expected, all of the customers took her side and stared at Monique with disgust.“That mistress should just stay in her quarters and not embarrass herself out here.”“What a shameless woman.”Henry fiercely glared at those who made offensive remarks. They could feel the pressure under his gaze; all of them shut their mouth right away.The silence was deafening.His features made him seem aloof, and his dark brown eyes had an icy glare.Monique was stunned when she saw him ent
After he ended the call, Sacha’s phone rang shortly after. His face dropped the minute he saw the number on his phone. It was the chairman of Mansion Coffee: Chairman George.When he answered the phone, they could hear him being bombarded by the person on the other end. He ordered him to give Henry the surveillance footage.Sacha immediately obeyed and answered respectfully, “Yes, sir.”Blood drained from Cindy’s face when she heard Sacha’s reply. Her hands could not stop shaking, her legs barely able to support her weight.After hanging up, Sacha glared at Cindy before he retrieved the footage in a hurry.The video clearly showed that Cindy added almost 10 spoonfuls of salt, even giving it a stir in the end.Those people who despised Monique just a moment ago cringed when they saw the footage.They looked at Cindy and said, “How can you do this to us? You betrayed our trust. You think you may know someone by looking at their face, but you never know what’s truly inside their mi
“Young Master Moore, please let go.” Monique started rambling softly when she regained her senses.She had lost the ability to think when he held her hand just now. Her entire mind went blank. Only when they reached the door, the cool breeze cleared her head a little. She blushed instantly and her heart started racing.The warmth from his palm entered Monique’s heart like a jolt of electricity. She tried to free her hand from his grip shyly, but he was too strong.Monique could not help but turn sideways to look at the man beside her. Under those black locks of hair was a face of perfection. His finely chiseled nose, distinct outlines of his profile, and the slightly curved lips on his gorgeous face made him the perfect specimen.He took her hand while they leisurely strolled. His steps were as elegant as a panther, exuding a formidable aura.To her, he was like a superhero who had descended to earth, shining in divine light.However, the crowd was looking at them as if they were
When Xavier heard that he could reach Monique, he hurried over to Cindy excitedly, “You know where she is?”“Yes, but it’s not convenient to talk here. Let’s find a place to chat,” Cindy walked forward after saying that, while Xavier followed behind her.… On the 23rd floor of Marriott Tower, Angel was alone in the office.When Daddy saw that Mommy was not in the office, he asked her where she went. Angel said that Mommy went to Mansion Coffee, so he headed over.Angel walked out of the office, as she was too bored. Mandy was not around--she was outstation--leaving Shaun and the others in the office.Shaun, who was sitting nearest to the door, immediately noticed adorable Angel at the entrance. She was curiously looking around.Angel wore a white T-shirt with a cute piggy print and denim overalls which made her skin extra rosy.She had the same thick eyebrows as the chairman, as well a sharp nose and long lashes. Her facial features shared an almost 60 to 70 percent similarity
"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
