"I had fun chatting with you today, but it's a pity we didn’t share a glass of wine."In the end, Alistair walked her out. "Would you be free to have a meal, Miss Quirke?"Andrea hesitated for a moment and thought, ‘We just had a pleasant conversation just now. Plus, Alistair is indeed very attractive, and his influence is enough to rival the Lawrence family…’ A twisted desire rose in her heart.In the beginning, she wanted Wendy to be the young wife of the Lawrence family so that she could ride on her coattails.‘Now that such a good opportunity is right in front of me, why shouldn’t I be the one to climb to the top?’Thus, Andrea finally agreed and made an appointment with him.Alistair watched her leave as his expression gradually darkened.‘The Quirke family is close to the Lawrence family. Andrea is someone who can be useful!’According to his observation, he believed that Wendy must have some leverage over her.If he could not control Andrea with persuasion, he would g
Lawrence Manor.Despite having meetings all day, Rosalie had not found a solution. Her face was filled with frustration when she returned home."Mommy, why didn't you pick us up today?"Byron picked the little ones up, and they kept asking for her all night.Nox immediately came up to her when she came home. His little face was full of disappointment.Rosalie reluctantly smiled at the little boy. "Sorry, Mommy was swarmed with work today. Once I’m done with that project, I’ll pick you all up, okay?"On the side, Byron frowned slightly. "You don’t like it if it’s just me picking you up? Or do you prefer Uncle Luther picking you up?"Hearing this, the little ones hugged his thigh to appease him. "We don’t want Uncle Luther; We want you, Daddy!"Byron patted their little heads. "Haha, go and play now."The little ones looked at Mommy and then at Daddy. They knew that the adults needed to talk, so they obediently made themselves scarce.Byron walked up to Rosalie and gently place
Two or three days later.Xander asked his assistant coldly, "Is there still no news from Rosalie Jacobs?"The assistant nodded cautiously as he sensed his boss’ foul mood.Xander's face became even more terrible.Rosalie's last visit to him was due to the research institute's supplies running low.He counted the days. The research institute should have run out of medicinal materials by now.How could she stand there and not approach him?He sought confirmation from his assistant again. "How is the current situation of their institute?"The assistant said, "The factory has already shut down. They seemed to have asked for a large number of compensation for lost wages. The preparation of new drugs has completely stopped."Xander asked, "How long has it been?"The assistant recalled, "It's been three days."‘Three days.’Xander sat behind his desk in deep thought, unconsciously drumming his fingers on the table.‘Is it true what Rosalie said? That they’ve already found another
Wendy heard this and finally went to open the door."Give it to me, you can go now!"She rudely extended her hand towards the door.Standing at the door was a young ruffian with a slight temper.The man looked her up and down. His expression changed as he observed her face and figure.Wendy narrowed her eyes and urged the man in displeasure. "Hello, are you deaf? Give it to me!""Miss Fuller, I think there are some details that we need to confirm." The man maliciously raised the corners of his lips, waving the document folder in his hand at her, with no intention of handing it over to her.Wendy’s demeanor was cold. "Just talk here!"‘How is the person deserving to be in my room?’Because of her obvious disdain, the man yanked open the door, and a cold look flashed across his eyes.Wendy almost fell forward because, naturally, she could not match him in strength."What are you going to do?" She glared at the person in front of her.But the man had already walked through the
The man chuckled, "Cross my heart, I'm telling the truth. We are all working for the boss. What's the point of me extorting you?"Then, before Wendy could speak, a chill crossed the man's face. "But then again, what if I extort from you? Would you call the police? I'm afraid that if you do, you’ll be arrested by the local police and deported back to the authorities!"Wendy was livid at his threats, but there was nothing she could do about it.This place was foreign to her.To put it bluntly, no one would know even if she died here.She could not call the police.But......"I don't have that much money." She gritted her teeth.When she came, she only had five million dollars with her.Plastic surgery, paperwork, and renting a room have all depleted her money. She now only has a few hundred thousand dollars left.There was still a lot for her to deal with here; hundreds of thousands of dollars were insufficient. So how is she going to come up with one million dollars to pay the
An hour later.With marks all over her body, Wendy wept as she lay on the bed in numbness.On the side, the man’s face was filled with satisfaction as he lay naked next to her.A girl from a wealthy family was not like any other girl who sold herself. Her skin was soft and supple, and her entire body smelled divine.One taste was not enough to satisfy him.Thinking of this, the man turned, sat up, and looked at her.Wendy looked over with hatred in her eyes. Her face was covered with tears like she could swallow this man alive!"Tsk, don't look at me like that. Since you can't be a noble lady anymore, you might as well make me happy."The man said calmly, "You know, I am the only one who can help you now that you are abroad. If you do as I say, I promise you won’t go hungry!"Wendy turned her face away in disdain. She clutched the quilt tightly, feebly trying to hide her body.The more she wanted to hide, the more agitated the man felt. His rough hands reached into the quilt
Melody, on the other hand, did not hear from her son or granddaughter for several days after returning home from Lawrence Manor.The more she thought about it, the more she became restless. So she simply went to the manor again on a random weekend.Rosalie was working overtime in the research institute, looking for medicinal material suppliers to replace the Lancer Corporation. Byron was also working overtime at his workplace.Only Mrs. Zora accompanied the three little ones in the manor."Hello, Madam." Mrs. Zora greeted Melody respectfully and then looked worriedly at the little ones beside her.She knew that Madam disliked Lucian and Nox.Now that the young master and the young lady were not here, she was worried that Madam Lawrence would make things difficult for the boys...Melody glanced at her coldly, then focused entirely on Estie. She completely ignored Lucian and Nox, who were beside Estie."Estie, do you miss grandma? Come here and hug me." As she spoke, she stretche
Estie sniffed, held back her tears, and smiled at Lucian and Nox with red eyes.The happiness on their little sister’s face made Lucian and Nox feel a little uncomfortable.They knew that Grandma disliked them, so even if she took them there, it might not be fun at all.However, their little sister wanted this very much, so they had no choice but to go with her.The two boys looked at each other. With smiles on their faces, they comforted Estie. "Okay, we can go together, don't cry!"Estie nodded vigorously. "I’m not crying! I’m so happy, Wonderland would be so fun!"Melody tried to hold Estie’s hand. This time, the little girl did not refuse but looked back at Lucian and Nox from time to time."What are you looking at?" Melody looked down and asked her.Estie was rather upset. "Grandma, walk slowly. Let’s wait for my brothers!"Melody's expression darkened, and she tightened her grip on Estie. "Don't be ridiculous, they are not your brothers. You don't have a brother."Esti
