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
“What are these?” Monique noticed Angel’s pockets were stuffed when she carried her into the car.“Guess.” Angel tapped her pockets while she raised her head, giggling.“Mommy doesn’t know… Can you tell me?” Monique said childishly, pouting like Angel did.Henry almost burst out laughing when he heard the way Monique was acting, but he held in the urge, only raising an eyebrow.Angel raised her tiny hands and poured out everything from her pockets. They were all snacks and little toys.“Where did you get these from?” Monique was shocked that there were so many things in Angel’s tiny pocket.“The people in the office gave them to me. I told them that I’m not allowed to eat food from strangers, so I just put it in my pocket,” Angel looked up and said proudly while she stared at Monique with her big brown eyes, “They’re so nice to me.”Monique recalled that when she went up to pick Angel, she did walk out from the general manager’s office.Monique was glad that so many people like
Monique’s face looked a little pale, her dark eyes flickered in panic.“Mommy, I’m okay,” Angel said with a smile.Angel was actually quite startled, but fortunately, Daddy caught her and hugged her tightly.Thank goodness for Daddy!Angel turned around and put her chubby arms around Henry’s neck. She pouted her soft lips and gave him a peck on his cheek, “Thanks for protecting me, Daddy. You’re the best.”She was so quick that she caught him by surprise. The corner of Henry’s eye twitched. At that moment, it was as time stood still. The softness of his daughter’s lips and her milky scent sent a jolt of electricity into his heart.He had never thought that he would be moved by such a simple gesture. Angel did not just give him a kiss; she even praised him.The bliss he was experiencing could not be expressed in words. Perhaps this was the joy of being a parent.She was just so lovely.He tightened his embrace around her tiny figure subconsciously and planted a kiss on her ch
“Fate brought us together outside of troubled times, yet destiny brought us to love in the hardest times…” Monique’s ringtone sounded. She looked at her phone and saw that it was an unknown number.Monique was accompanying Angel on the office sofa. She kept thinking about the pair of eyes from the car that followed behind them yesterday, so she decided not to drive this morning.When she came out of the house that morning, she surveyed the surroundings and made sure that nothing was out of the ordinary. She felt like she was becoming a little neurotic.“Hello,” Monique answered the call without giving much thought.“Monique, it’s Cindy.” A weak voice sounded from the other end.Monique was annoyed when she heard her voice; it reminded her of the way she pretended to gain compassion from the others and almost fooled everyone with her acting. She frowned immediately and wondered why she was calling.“I’m truly sorry for what I did yesterday. I wasn’t in my right mind. Can you pleas
Monique stared at her phone and pondered. She then turned around to ask Angel, “There’s this lady who wants to apologize to Mommy and she bought you a gift. Do you want to meet her?”“Why does she need to apologize to you?” Angel stared at Monique with wide eyes.Angel was still too young; Monique did not tell her about what happened yesterday. She said, “It’s nothing major.”“Okay,” Angel agreed to follow her, since it was nothing serious. She gave a thought and said, “You’ll tell Daddy right?”Henry went out for a meeting and had yet to return. Monique was worried that she might disturb the meeting, so she did not call him. Since Mandy was not around, she approached Shaun.“Shaun, an ex-colleague of mine named Cindy asked me to meet her. Chairman Moore is in a meeting now. Tell him I’ll be back when he calls me after the meeting.”“Noted.” Shaun was a little puzzled when she told him the details of the person she was meeting, but he still politely agreed.After that, Monique l
Henry headed back to his office right after the meeting. He strode elegantly. He had gotten used to both their presences in his office. After sitting through a meeting for the entire morning, he could not wait to see them.When he entered the office, he scanned around, but the mother-daughter pair was nowhere to be seen.Why were they not in the office?Henry’s face dropped and he frowned. He took his phone out and made a call, looking displeased.Where did she go? Did she take orders without his permission?“Sorry, the number you have called is unavailable…” A sweet robotic voice sounded from the other end.She would not switch off her phone if she were out taking orders.If she was not working, where would she go?Henry searched for them in the pantry to no avail. He turned around and walked out.When Shaun saw the chairman walking toward the office, he called Monique immediately, but her phone was turned off.He felt that something was not right. Given Monique's request ea
“The girl you saw before you got down the car, that Xavier guy who always bothered you in the parking lot, and another guy that I don’t really know. There were three of them.” Angel racked her brain to recall.They probably reduced the dosage on Angel, thinking that she was just a little girl. That was why she managed to wake up earlier than the anticipated time and managed to see them leaving.There were three of them!Monique instantly realized that Cindy had teamed up with Xavier to take revenge against her. They even found a helper.A wave of panic overwhelmed Monique. Could they escape from this?She had to, no matter what, for Angel’s sake!“Angel, don’t be afraid. Mommy will find a way out,” Monique comforted Angel. She increased the force and tried to free her hands from the restraints. Her wrist bled from the friction on the ropes.“Mommy, I’m not afraid. My hands are almost free, don’t worry,” Angel comforted her in a similar manner. She was just a five-year-old kid; s
“What do you want?” Monique yelled furiously.There were two people behind Xavier; Cindy and another short, skinny, and hideous-looking middle-aged man, Randal. He looked even more perverted than Xavier.Monique recognized him as one of the guys who harassed the girls in the group chat.However, she could not understand why he was willing to help Xavier. Kidnapping was a crime!Monique was terrified, but she knew she could not show any signs of weakness. If she exposed her fear, they would exploit it and taunt her further.“What do you think?” Xavier pointed at her heaving breasts and laughed perversely.Monique lowered her gaze and saw that the top two buttons of her shirt were unfastened. Her swollen skin and the reddened marks from the restraints starkly contrasted on her fair complexion. Xavier gulped visibly while he stared at her.Monique was horrified and stumbled backward, quickly buttoning her shirt.Since there were three of them, she knew that there was no way that s
"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
