Bella hadn't even finished her sentence when Jackson's hand came down hard on her cheek. Bella was stunned. In all her years, her father had never laid a hand on her! Her eyes filled with tears of grievance. "Why did you hit me?" "Didn't you want to be hit? You can slap yourself, but I can't slap you?!" Jackson's voice was filled with anger. "I've never been so humiliated in my life. Now, thanks to you, my reputation is in shambles, and you still have the nerve to cry?" Bella was taken aback. "Dad, how did you know I hit myself?" "Do you think Wayne is a fool?" Jackson stared at his daughter. "I can't understand why you would do such a thing." "I just can't stand that woman being around Wayne. You said you would introduce me to him," Bella choked out between sobs. Jackson nearly fainted from rage. "Yes, I wanted you to marry Wayne, and you like him. That's a good thing. But the premise is that Wayne has to be interested in you. If he's not, what good is my introduction? You

Perhaps, it was the darkness in people's hearts.She composed herself and walked into the dance studio.After class, she went to find Principal Blackwood."I want to resign," she said.Principal blackwood had known she would leave eventually.She nodded, "Alright, I'll settle your pay.""Thank you," Scarlett expressed her gratitude for all the support Principal Blackwood had given her."No need to thank me," Principal Blackwood replied with a smile.Even though she had resigned, Scarlett finished teaching her class for the day.Principal Blackwood invited her to dinner, and she accepted.The restaurant was chosen by Principal Blackwood, and the food there was quite good.Through the glass window, she gazed absentmindedly at the bustling streets outside."You can't drink, so how about a toast with juice? Who knows when we'll meet again after you leave," Principal Blackwood suggested.Scarlett raised her glass of juice and clinked it with his.She took a couple of sips and set the glass

She had been worried that Beatrice, knowing she was divorced, would insist on an abortion. "The baby is yours." Beatrice understood that, ideally, a divorce should mean no further entanglements. An abortion would be the cleanest break. But as a mother, she knew how important a child could be to another mother. "I found a job as a stock clerk at a grocery store. The pay is $600 a month. It's not much, but it's enough for us to live on. You know I haven't worked since I married your dad. Now that I'm older and have no work experience, this is the best I could find. But don't worry, I'll take good care of you. You just rest at home, and when the baby is born, it won't have anything to do with the Gray family." Beatrice assumed that Scarlett's divorce meant she had no feelings left for Wayne. She only decided to keep the baby because she couldn't bear to let it go. Since that was the case, she would raise it. One child—she and Scarlett could manage that. She had been confused for to

Upon seeing Beatrice, Scarlett quickly shifted her gaze to Jeff. What does he mean by this? Why did he bring her mother here too? Her expression darkened. "Scarlett, this gentleman said he's your friend and brought me to see you. And here you are," Beatrice said as she walked briskly over. Scarlett smiled at her mother, "Mom, please go inside first." Though puzzled, Beatrice nodded and went inside. Once Beatrice was inside, Scarlett's smile vanished. She glared at Jeff. "What do you mean by this? Isn't it enough to capture me? You had to bring my mom too?" Jeff glanced at her. "Weren't you clever when you were dealing with me? How come you're so confused now?" Scarlett still didn't understand. "Who knows what kind of evil plan you have?" She eyed Jeff warily. This man had tried to take advantage of her multiple times. Could he possibly be a good person? Jeff's previously smiling face slowly turned cold. "I see you don't recognize a good deed when you see one!"Scarlett s

He walked in and sat down, a fake smile plastered on his face. "President Gray, long time no see." The private room was dimly lit. Wayne lounged lazily in the shadows. No one could discern his expression or emotions. Wayne asked, "Did you need something from me?" "I heard that President Ortiz has a collaboration with Grand Prix Corporation. But then, I also heard that the CEO of Grand Prix Corporation has regrets?" Wayne's voice was neither too loud nor too soft. Yet it struck Jeff like a bolt from the blue! He knew it must be Wayne's doing. His heart bled, but he kept a calm facade. "It's just a collaboration. If it falls through, so be it." Wayne chuckled lightly. "President Ortiz is very magnanimous. But if the collaboration fails, I wonder how much President Ortiz will lose?" Jeff's face twitched slightly. Wasn't this just a deliberate jab at his sore spot? He knew Wayne was known for his ruthless tactics. He had come prepared, catching Jeff completely off gu
