Jacob Jefferson kneeled on one knee while his hand holding a little box, then he opened the box. It was a diamond ring inside the box. Amy Brooke gasped as she didn’t expect Jacob to propose to her tonight. “We have been together for a short time. Maybe three months is too fast, but I have met no woman that I feel more suitable to be my wife than you.” Amy put her hand to cover her mouth as she was too surprised. Since Jacob was hot and cold consecutively, she even suspected Jacob might want to end their relationship tonight. But who would have guessed that Jacob proposed to her? “I ….” Then the people in the restaurant, who sat near the young couples, shouted, “Accept him! Accept him! Accept him!” Amy bit her lower lip. Then she whispered, “Jacob, please have a seat.” “Will you accept my proposal?” Jacob’s eyes pleaded with her. “Let’s talk first. Then I’ll give you my answer.” That was when Samuel Hoffner saw what happened. Samuel was a famous billionaire who owned so many

The trip to the hospital felt so long. Amy bit her lower lip while praying that her parents and sister would be okay. She was worried because the hospital staff who contacted her said that her parents and sister were treated in the emergency room (ER). If they only had slight wounds, surely they wouldn’t stay in the ER.“Amy, everything will be alright. Don’t worry.” Jacob squeezed Amy’s hand.She nodded while still sobbing. “I hope so.”They didn’t speak anymore until they arrived at the hospital. Jacob and Amy rushed inside to go to the registration department. There was no queue, so they could go straight in.“I’m Amy Brooke. I just got a call from here, probably from the registration staff. She said my parents (Peter and Melanie Brooke) and my sister (Jillian Brooke) had a car accident and are now in the ER.” Amy took a deep breath and shed her tears. “Is the information correct?”The registration staff did not immediately respond. “Wait a moment, please. Let me check our data firs

Amy was about to go to Jillian’s room, but then she heard her cell phone ringing. It was Sunday morning, and it was rare for her friends to call so early. Usually if they wanted to invite Amy to hangout, they would call in the afternoon or evening or just leave a message. They knew Amy would reply to the messages immediately. Looking at the phone screen, it was from an unknown phone number. So, Amy ignored the call and rushed to Jillian’s care unit. However, soon there was another calling. It was from the same number. Amy sighed because it was annoying. As the daughter of a billionaire family, her phone number was linked to the bank account and credit card. Thus, many telemarketers often called her to offer many things: to apply for other credit cards and insurances. Thinking the phone call was from a telemarketer, Amy finally snapped. She turned off her phone and let out a heavy sigh. Her temple throbbed right away because of her lack of sleeping. She rushed to room 305. Opening t

Jacob turned off his phone, sighed, and then rubbed his temple. It was around ten a.m., but he had already got a headache. Being an only child wasn’t easy. With a dominant mother, Jacob could only succumb to his mother not because he couldn’t fight her, but because he didn’t want to have a headache every day. When he returned to the table, Amy smiled at him. “You must be hungry. I have opened your box. Eat it now.” Jacob ate without talking. He didn’t know what he would do if his mother pressured him to end his relationship with Amy. But he could only hope everything would work well in the end. Though it might be a new hell for Amy if she married him later. Jacob let out a heavy sigh again. “What’s wrong? Did your mother complain you didn’t visit her?” He shook his head. “No, but my mother loves to force her will against mine. It’s a common problem for me. Maybe it’s because of lack of sleep, so I find she is quite annoying today. I know she does it because she loves me, but somet

Gwen dabbed her eyes carefully with a handkerchief, so she wouldn’t smear the mascara. Then, after letting out a sigh, she pouted at Jacob. “Is this how you treat the one who will help you?” “Help me?” Jacob wrinkled his forehead. “How can you help me?” Gwen smiled prettily, then sat on the couch. She waved at Jacob, gesturing for him to come and sit next to her. He finally relented and sat next to her. She scooted to sit nearer to Jacob and reached out to hold his hand. “Jacob, before we will start planning everything, I want to make a confession.” “A confession?” He raised his eyebrows. “What is it about? That you only pretended to be Amy’s best friend to stab her?” “No!” She shook her head. “Of course not! It’s about you!” “Me?” He frowned. “What is it?” Gwen bit her lower lip. Then she lifted her eyes shyly to stare at him. “I have fallen in love with you for a long time, even before you knew Amy.” Jacob widened his eyes. “But why have you never approached or showed your fee
