Chapter 11

The Foster family had a background in petroleum and chemical industries, boasting immense wealth. In Amber City, the Foster family was among the most powerful."Why don't you get married too?""Forget it, forget it. I'm scared." Ryan laughed heartily. It was clear that he and Dawson had a genuinely close relationship.Dawson walked over expressionlessly and sat down.Ryan handed him a glass of wine, and Dawson took a small sip."How was it?""It was fine.""If you say it's fine, then that means it's really something. Go on, ask your boss to bring over another ten bottles."Ryan was outgoing and well-connected in elite circles. He changed girlfriends faster than he changed clothes."Hey, where is your newlywed wife? Why didn't you bring her?" He suddenly remembered."At the old house.""Tsk, you should have brought her for us to see. I'm really curious to see what kind of woman the Gregory family set you up with. Haha.""There's nothing much to see, just a nose and two eyes," Dawson re

"How can that be?""Mr. Mercer is handsome and charming. A fine specimen.""It is not surprising for a woman to show you her affection, especially when she is your secretary.""Why does that sound a little off to me?" Dawson narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Lorraine."Whether it sounds off or not doesn't change the fact that it's true.""Mr. Mercer, don't misunderstand. What I mean is, since you have a close female friend, we should stay out of each other's way.""What do you mean? We should have an open relationship?" Dawson suddenly leaned in, and Lorraine instinctively backed away."Mr. Mercer, you don't need to speak so harshly. You are also an intelligent person. I don't care about what you do outside, but please keep your distance from me. I don't like any physical contact. Is that clear enough?""Quite virtuous, aren't you?" Dawson said with amusement."But, of course," Lorraine retorted.Dawson chuckled and said, "Don't worry. You've saved my life, after all. I won't treat you

Chapter 13

But Sienna was clearly their guest as a couple—especially Lorraine's—so she couldn't avoid her.The other members of the Mercer family were not familiar with Sienna. Even Lidya, Dawson's mom, had only seen her a few times at parties.When Lorraine went downstairs, she thought to herself, "It's a good thing that Helena and Baron have both left."Otherwise, who knew how lively things would have been?"Raine."Upon seeing Lorraine, Sienna immediately walked over and embraced her affectionately.To be honest, Lorraine was very uncomfortable because it felt too fake.Sienna put down the gift in her hand and said, "Mom told me to come visit you.""Oh, okay," Lorraine responded indifferently."Mom said this is tradition. Since we got married on the same day, it's fate.""Where's Dawson?" she immediately asked, unable to contain her excitement."He's upstairs.""Speaking of which, I haven't seen your new home yet. Mind giving me a tour?"Sienna said this with an innocent look on her face.She

Chapter 14

Sienna never expected that she would be subjected to domestic violence just a few days after getting married.She was the most beautiful woman in Amber City, but Peter showed her no mercy.Peter had already drunk a lot, and on top of that, there was the insulting phone call from Dawson.The sight of Sienna ignited Peter's fury once again when he went to pick her up from the Gregory family.He heard Sienna and Caleb's conversations clearly."Dawson used to be your husband?" Peter pulled off his tie and questioned. He reeked of alcohol.Sienna suddenly became frightened. It seemed that he had really heard everything."Peter, let me explain...""Explain what? You cheap whore, I'll beat you to death!"Enraged, Peter swung his fist at Sienna, who had already fallen to the ground.Unlike Lorraine and Dawson, Peter and Sienna lived in a separate villa after their marriage.So, no matter how much Sienna cried and screamed, no one dared to step in to stop the beating.Even the maid was so scar

Chapter 15

"Mr. Mercer, there is no need for you to take it personally.""Hehe, you sure know how to shift the blame.""I'm not someone who stirs up trouble, I just instinctively protect myself. If I don't shift the blame, who knows what kind of accusation Mr. Mercer might pin on me next time? I'm just a helpless orphan; I can't bear that kind of burden.""An orphan wouldn't be as sharp-tongued as you, never suffering a single loss."Lorraine no longer intended to continue arguing, it was very boring.So, she simply reached out her hand and turned off the lights...The bedroom instantly became pitch black."Who said you could turn off the lights?" Dawson was somewhat annoyed."If you think it's too bright, you can go to the study.""This is my bedroom, Lorraine," Dawson sneered."Half of it belongs to me now. How about this, you get two bedside lamps tomorrow, one on each side? I'll turn off mine, you keep yours on. We won't interfere with each other that way."Dawson was stunned into silence.D

Chapter 16

Inside the VIP ward of the hospital.As soon as Sienna saw Lorraine enter the room, she immediately started cursing loudly."You still have the nerve to come? How dare you?""It was your brother who picked me up," Lorraine said expressionlessly."If it weren't for you, how would I have gotten hurt? Lorraine, you're so vicious.""You pretend to be nice to me, but the next moment you turn around and betray me. Lorraine, you're truly evil.""How did Peter find out that I went to the Mercer family's home, huh? Tell me! Say something!" Sienna started losing her cool again.Before Lorraine could speak, Eleanor also said with a dark expression on her face. "Raine, you've stayed with our family for four years now. During these four years, we haven't let you go hungry or cold. You should not be so ungrateful.""Sienna was the one who was supposed to marry into the Mercer family. Now that she has given up the opportunity for you, how could you turn around and harm her like this?"John glanced a

Lorraine reacted quickly as the kettle came hurling toward her.She desperately struggled to break free from Caleb's hold, and then she exerted all her strength to push Caleb away.The boiling water kettle hit Caleb's back squarely.Suddenly, the boiling water spilled out and splashed all over the floor.Fortunately, Caleb was wearing thick clothing, but he still got scalded by the boiling water. His nape and hands were both burned.He immediately shrieked in pain.Lorraine was standing farther away and was only splashed a little on the back of her right hand. She quickly wiped it dry with her sleeve."Sienna, have you gone mad?" Lorraine was really angry this time."Yes, I am crazy. People like you should just die. Go die quickly. How dare you think you deserve to be with Dawson?"Hatred was reflected in Sienna's eyes and in her heart.Sienna even blamed the beating she received from Peter on Lorraine, claiming that Lorraine's gossiping led Dawson to make that phone call."If it were

Chapter 18

Lorraine turned around and, sure enough, saw Dawson's smug face.Unfortunately, she did not care much about these things."You're home." She still didn't get up.Dawson took off his coat and casually threw it into the maid's hands. He also squatted down to pick the medicine up with her."What did you buy?" Dawson was completely clueless about traditional medicine.The Mercer Group had its own private hospital, and Dawson even had his own private doctor.As a financial prodigy who had studied abroad, he didn't know much about the traditional medicine."Some traditional medicine for health.""Something to nourish the body?" he asked casually.But Lorraine was easily embarrassed and blushed instantly."No.""It's to help with sleep.""Sour jujube kernels were added with tangerine peel, lily, gardenia, and poria.""An ancient pharmacologist once said: 'For restlessness and exhaustion causing sleeplessness, sour jujube decoction is the remedy.'""Cook some for me too, I haven't been sleepi

"Alright, how much did your herbal medicine cost?" Dawson suppressed a smile."15 dollars," Lorraine replied irritably."I will send you the money. Give me your contact details." Dawson casually took out his phone, using the excuse of transferring money to demand Lorraine's contact details.Just like that, he easily obtained Lorraine's Line ID without any hesitation.A notification sounded. 150 dollars was sent to Lorraine."That's too much. I said 15 dollars." Lorraine said coldly."Isn't it said that herbal medicine needs to be taken for a week to be effective? This is the cost of a week's worth of medication.""Who said that?" Lorraine was confused."I watched it on TV.""Mr. Mercer, you should watch less television in the future."After saying that, Lorraine couldn't help but laugh and turned around to enter the bathroom."Is she mocking me?" Dawson was stunned.However, it must be said that on this night, Dawson slept extremely soundly.Although he hadn't dreamed in a long time,

Chapter 20

"What are you trying to say?" Lily looked at Lorraine with a proud expression."Ms. Finch, do not dodge the question.""I gave it to him, so what? I have known Mr. Mercer for many years," Lily deliberately spoke in a suggestive tone.In fact, everyone at Glory Group knew about her feelings for Dawson.Even if he couldn't marry her now, it didn't mean they wouldn't be together in the future. Lily was confident about that."You have good taste. The cufflinks are quite nice.""Are you mocking me?" Lily was momentarily taken aback by Lorraine's compliment.After spending so long navigating workplace rivalries, she had grown used to reading hidden meanings and sarcasm into people's words."If that's what you think, then suit yourself." Lorraine smiled, unfazed by Lily's rudeness.Soon, the two of them arrived at the largest luxury shopping mall in the city center.Lily kept a cold expression the entire time and led Lorraine into a designer boutique.This designer had become very popular in
