Dorian and Shaylene thought that there was only the driver in the car. They never expected another person in the back seat.When Andrius appeared in front of them, the two of them looked at Andrius with uncertainty.With sharp eyes, Dorian immediately noticed that the young man was covered with some low-key top luxury brands.The watch on his wrist was a Patek Philippe model, which was astonishingly valuable.This young man had an unmistakable, restrained, and noble temperament in his gestures.Andrius just glanced at the two of them and walked to Mary's side. He looked at her tenderly, and gently stretched out his hand to pull her in, letting her lean on him.For some reason, Mary’s impatience dissipated upon the man's embrace.Immediately, she was completely enveloped by the tenderness in the man's eyes.At this moment, Shaylene was still skeptical. She looked at Dorian with some puzzlement, and asked, "Dorian, I don’t think we know this gentleman here, right?"Dorian nodded
"What a speech!"Dorian's sanity was on the verge of collapse.However, a highly scheming person like him, saw that Andrius was so indifferent and was not intimidated by him at all, forcibly suppressed his anger after all.Andrius cut to the chase and said bluntly, "Mr. Claymore, listen carefully. I am Andrius Quirke from the Quirke family in Coast City! I am Mary's current boyfriend. Apart from me, Mary would not wed anybody else."In an instant, Mary turned her face to the side and looked at the man in disbelief.The man was still so shy while she was changing at noon. Right now, with a strong aura of superiority, he seemed like a different person.Andrius responded to Mary's gaze. In an instant, his eyes were doting and tender."The Quirke family?" Shaylene was taken aback for a moment and immediately looked at her husband.Dorian's brows were furrowed heavily. His strong front had crumbled completely.He knew the Quirkes in Coast City.They were the core ally of Lawrence
Rosalie felt it was strange that Mary told her about returning to the Northwest to visit her family's graves.Mary’s family was not from the Northwest. Even Aunt Wilson had only worked in the Northwest when she was young. It was impossible for the Wilson family to have anyone buried there.It was impossible for Mary to visit the graves of her family from her father's side either! After all, her scumbag father had never taken her as his daughter.As Rosalie pondered, she felt Mary was up to something and was keeping it a secret from her.Moreover, it should have something to do with Mary’s scumbag father.When Byron returned home, he told Rosalie what he had found out.Luther reported that Andrius went to the Northwest with Mary and brought many bodyguards.The couple was instantly worried. Did Andrius bring so many bodyguards because he wanted to start a fight?Rosalie dialed Mary’s number immediately.When the call went through, Rosalie immediately asked with concern, “Mary,
In the Claymores' residence, William pulled over at the gate in his Porsche. He tugged his clothes and entered the living room casually.He had seen Mary's photos and could not forget her beauty and temperament.Even though Dorian had arranged for him to marry Mary because he wanted some benefits to save Claymore Group from the verge of getting bankrupt, he was still willing to do it. He even convinced his father, Roy Calcraft.After all, it was reasonable to invest some money to marry a beautiful lady.However, he saw the dejected Dorian and gloomy Shaylene when he entered.“Mr. Claymore, isn’t Mary back yet?” William frowned, displeased with what he saw.Dorian planned to explain the situation by letting William know his daughter disobeyed him.However, Shaylene stood up angrily and clenched her teeth, saying, “Mr. Calcraft, Mary doesn’t deserve you! We didn't expect her to be dating someone secretly. She even got pregnant. We were so mad when we found out. She even quarreled
Andrius and Mary knew nothing about Byron punishing Dorian.It was now late afternoon. Andrius was driving from the Northwest back to Coast City.To be precise, they had just left the outskirts. The scenery was beautiful, and Andrius drove slowly so that they could enjoy the view.“Andrius, where did you get the car? Isn’t it the hotel manager’s car?” Camelia was happy to see her daughter and Andrius in a lovely relationship.Andrius shook his head and explained, “The group specially equipped it for the hotel to welcome VIP guests. So, I took it on short notice. I will ask the people from logistics to return the car when we return to Coast City!”“Oh, it’s great. This car can definitely make Shaylene envious. It must be expensive!” Camelia had never taken a ride in a Rolls-Royce. Even when Dorian owned one once, she never sat in it. It was because she knew it was Shaylene’s.“Mom, this car is expensive. Some even cost a few million. It's not a problem for Andrius to buy one. Ho
Since Mary and Andrius were already on their early ‘honeymoon,’ Rosalie started planning her honeymoon with Byron.It was almost winter break, and the kids were free.Taking the opportunity that she was in her early months of pregnancy and could move freely, Rosalie began to pick the destination.Byron readily agreed. Since he had been dedicated to Lawrence Corporation for years, it was time to reward himself with a break from work.Of course, he had deliberately said that in front of Benedict.After all, Benedict had dumped the responsibility of the company to him when Benedict was in his 40s. Since then, he had been living a leisurely life, expecting his son to do the duties.Melody joined the conversation, suggesting a few suitable places for families with kids to travel.Suddenly, Benedict gave everyone a blow of disappointment. “Rosie, I think this is an inappropriate time to travel. After all, Gordon’s condition is uncertain!”Rosalie was startled and finally remembered a
After gathering her emotions, Rosalie started the dry-needling treatment for Gordon seriously.Gordon’s mood had also stabilized. He did not dare to look at his daughter.His complexion was better than before, no longer as yellow. Even so, he still looked yellowish.“Go to the hospital for a check-up today,” Rosalie said softly.Before Gordon could agree, Rosalie walked out of the room and ordered the maid to help him get ready.Byron approached his wife and held her tiny hand as he nodded and smiled. “You've done whatever you can. You're probably the luckiest thing that has ever happened to him. He's lucky to have a daughter like you.”Rosalie smiled wryly. “Yes, but I'm unfortunate to have him as my father.”After Gordon was ready, Byron and Rosalie drove him to the hospital.The series of tests took a long time to be done. However, Rosalie did not have to worry much about it.Since Mary was taking a long break from work, Rosalie called Linda in to take over her position tem
Meanwhile, Violet was in a villa in the suburbs of Coast City.Upon receiving a call from Gordon, she learned he had cancer and was about to die soon.However, Violet was only startled for a while before she scoffed. Then, she responded coldly, “Gordon, it serves you right. You deserve it!”He was silent momentarily before calmly saying, “Violet, I’m calling you today just because of one thing. Do you remember Rosie’s mother’s belongings? Please, give them back. I want to return the items to Rosie.”“Gordon, what are you talking about? I never took them!” Violet flared up.Next to her, her son, Ethan, with dark circles under his eyes, kept yawning as he asked, “Mom, who's calling?”“Your father!” Violet answered in rage.On the other end of the call, Gordon tried to negotiate humbly, “Violet, I'm dying. I hope you still have a shred of conscience. Return the items, and you can have nothing to do with me for the rest of your life!”“Gordon, let me be clear with you. I didn’t tak
