Chapter 151 Ordinary Love

No matter how pitiful she appeared, Chris remained unfazed. When a man was in love, even a single tear could soften his heart, but when a man was not, not even a river of tears would make him flinch. Why could Sierra not understand that simple truth?"Paige..." Sierra forced a smile.That sight tugged at Paige's heart. She knew her sister was in the wrong, but was that not how people often behaved? When a stranger did wrong, you could criticize them from a moral high ground, but when your loved ones made mistakes, you held a different standard. Even when it was clear that the other person was at fault, you could find a thousand reasons to defend them.Chris naturally noticed Sierra's pained expression and let out a disdainful snort. Emotional women like Paige, who wore their hearts on their sleeves, would struggle in the professional world."Sierra, are you okay? Are you feeling alright?" Paige asked with concern.Sierra smiled weakly and replied, "I'm fine. My cousin is getti

Chapter 152 Requesting Paige to Handle Something

Chris observed the contented smile on Paige's face and raised an eyebrow. However, a faint smirk slowly stretched across his face. At that moment, Paige's phone rang.Paige retrieved her phone and saw her father calling, which was unexpected. Her father was usually distant and would not contact her without reason. She answered the call, "Dad...""I want you to come home for dinner tonight," Bob said with a smile. Paige was skeptical of the unusual request. “Is there something you want to talk about?”"No, I just miss you."Paige fell silent. Did her father really want her around? Or was he just trying to be polite?"Alright," Paige agreed.When the call ended, Paige stared at her phone. She knew something must be up, but her father probably could not tell her through the phone, and that was why he found himself an excuse.She was a little uncomfortable with her father’s sudden closeness.Then, she turned to Chris and said, "I need to go to my parents' home for dinner toni

Chapter 153 Flower Bay Project

Chris observed Paige.Paige was not one to concern herself with his work. It seemed she had no desire to meddle in his business. Other wives might investigate and understand more about their husband's companies, but Paige would be content with serving him coffee and never attempt to delve into the company's affairs.Yet today, she suddenly asked about the company."Why?" He raised an eyebrow, asking, "Why the sudden interest in the company?"Paige hesitated. She looked at him and thought he must know the reason behind her question.In truth, he did know. He understood that Quirks wished to invest in the Flower Bay Project. The project had garnered substantial attention, and with the Jewells’ involvement, all the Quirks had to do was invest and sit back to reap the rewards.However, he was waiting for Paige to speak up. If only she would open up to him, he could consider involving the Quirks in some way.He had his reservations about the Quirks, except Paige. Their behaviors an

Chapter 154 Paige Flirts

Paige was perplexed, but it made sense in a way. "Shelly wants you to provoke the boss, to make him dislike you, and create conflict between you two. She aims to take advantage of the situation," said Gloria.Gloria, having gained experience early in life working in nightclubs, had encountered all sorts of people, so she easily saw through Shelly's cunning plans.Only then did Paige realize that Shelly had such intentions. It did seem like something Shelly would do. People could be incredibly complicated creatures.Gloria continued to caution Paige, "Madam, our boss is pretty headstrong. If he wants to help the Quirks make money, you won't need to say a word. If he doesn't want to, no matter how hard you try, he won't change his mind."Paige nodded. "I understand.” She knew Gloria was looking out for her. The relationship between her family and Chris was indeed a tricky one. Having Chris help her family make money did not seem fair, and it put Chris in a difficult spot.… At

Chapter 155 Flirting 101

He always wondered how a man could like that kind of behavior.Yet now, he watched as Paige spoke in a high-pitched voice, flirting with him, and surprisingly, he liked it. He really liked that side of Paige.Finally, he could understand those men.Chris put down the documents, stood up, and said to Paige, "Let's go."Paige looked at Chris, taken aback.Was it just... that simple?She did not think she had not put much effort into flirting. All she did was follow what she had seen in videos, and her attempt at flirting was stiff and awkward.However, Chris seemed to like it. Was flirting really that effective?Paige started to understand something. Sure enough, women who knew how to flirt had it easier.It was time for her to level up her flirting skills.… Paige and Chris returned home and had dinner. As soon as they got back to their room, the phone rang.It was a call from Bob.Paige knew why her father was calling, and she glanced at Chris, who noticed the screen disp

Chapter 156 Paige Confronts Pierre

Next to the recliner, there was a small, elegant table, which held a tray of fruit snacks and beverages prepared by the servants for Paige. Sipping on juice and scrolling through her phone, she basked in the sunlight and gentle breeze, feeling utterly content.Days like these were truly wonderful.As Pierre entered the gates of the Jewell Family estate, this was the scene that greeted him. The wind tousled Paige's long hair and the flowing dress, making her look exceptionally beautiful. Pierre approached her."Paige," he called with a smile.Paige glanced at him and asked, her tone indifferent, "What's up?"Initially, her impression of Pierre had been quite positive. Later, when he had clearly seen Shelly framing her and did not step up to clear her name, her opinion of him had soured. From then on, she held a grudge against Pierre.Perhaps it was not entirely his fault. After all, Pierre had feelings for Shelly. So, naturally, his loyalty leaned toward her. While Paige cou

Chapter 157 Bob Persuades Wendy to Back Off

Bob gazed at Sierra and said, "No need."He was worried that Sierra's involvement might further anger Chris.Sierra bit her lip, finding it difficult to say, "Chris... It might be because of me that he doesn't want to cooperate with the Quirk family. This is my fault... I'll go and apologize to Chris."Bob looked at Sierra. He knew what Sierra was thinking. She believed that Chris still had feelings for her. So, if she played the role of a pitiful person in front of him, he might soften and forgive her.However, it was clear that Chris no longer had any feelings for Sierra. He even seemed to dislike her. If Sierra went to beg Chris, it would only make things worse."Dad…" Sierra looked at Bob with teary eyes.Bob wanted to scold her. However, he could not bring himself to do it. After all, she was his beloved daughter, whom he had pampered and had high hopes for since childhood."Sierra," Bob said, “Chris is married to Paige now. As Paige's older sister, you should bless her

Chapter 158 Foolishness

"It's nothing,” Bob said.However, Paige noticed it. He was still panting, as if he had been running, breathing heavily and gasping continuously."Oh... Chris asked you to prepare funds," Paige said.Bob did not react immediately. He asked, "Prepare funds?""Yeah," Paige said. "Prepare funds to invest in the Flower Bay Project."Bob was momentarily stunned, then ecstatic.Investing in the Flower Bay? Did Chris agree to let the Quirk family in on the project? He had almost given up hope, thinking Chris would not lend a hand to the Quirk family. However, now, everything had turned around."Paige..." Bob adjusted his mood and said, "You've done well. Please tell Chris that I will prepare the funds.""Sure.” Paige hung up the phone.Just before hanging up, she seemed to hear a woman's voice.Was it her mother?It did not sound like her. However, voices on the phone always sounded a bit different from real life.…Bob did not return home until nearly dawn.When he arrived ho

Chapter 159 The Clever Young Girl

Gloria slid her chair over to Paige, showing concern. "Madam, why didn't you come yesterday?"Paige hesitated before replying, "I wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I stayed home."Gloria nodded understandingly."Paige," Shelly said with a smile, "the project in Flower Bay is truly promising. If the Quirk family is interested, I could ask my father to talk to Chris about it?"Paige smiled and replied, "No need. My father has already decided to invest in the Flower Bay project."Shelly was taken aback. Bob had decided to invest in the Flower Bay project? In all of Hevensford, countless people wanted to participate in that project. Who was Bob to make such a decision?Shelly could not help but wonder if Chris had persuaded him. After all, Bob had no real influence on the Flower Bay project. So, it must have been Chris who gave him the green light.Shelly considered how significant it was for the Quirk family to be involved in this project and what message it sent to the world.

Chapter 160 Gloria's Past

Chris gave a faint, almost teasing smile.Paige was speechless.Was Chris actually smiling? What was so funny?"Relax," Chris said casually. "Even if the Quirk family goes bankrupt, you still have me. I'll take care of you."Paige was at a loss for words. That was not the point. Paige wanted to say something more, but Chris interrupted, "Let's eat."Although his tone was light, there was an underlying authority in it.So, Paige did not dare say anything else. She lowered her head and started eating slowly.As she ate, she began to understand something. If the Jewell family was willing to invest so much money, why should she be afraid?Even though the Jewell family was wealthy, they could not have easily come up with 15 billion dollars, either."I..." Paige wanted to say, "I understand”. However, before she could get the words out, Chris suddenly put food into her mouth.With her mouth full, she looked at Chris in surprise. Why was he feeding her all of a sudden?Chris st
