Jill walked quickly into the restaurant. Her gaze was sharp as she headed to the VIP room booked for her meeting with Alex Law. With her anger mounting, she really thought she would take it out on the right person. "Damn it! He doesn't even want to talk on the phone. Do I still have to lose again for his carelessness this time? Buying him exclusive food just to ask what the hell is going on? What a greedy man! Doesn't he know who he's dealing with yet?"Jill opened the special room door quickly. She found Alex sipping coffee shakily. The door slammed shut with a loud bang. It was as if she didn't care if there was tremendous damage to be done in the end.Quickly and with a burst of anger, Jill approached and slapped Alex hard. The coffee cup in Alex's hand fell over and shattered into dozens of pieces. Some shards landed on the backs of Jill's legs, leaving scars and blood.Alex immediately looked down, no longer daring to look up. He swallowed hard, as if there was noth

"I'm sorry, Mrs Fischer."Alex's apology was heard by Shannon, who was sitting in her comfortable chair. She glanced at Alex, who had a bruised look on most of his face. She smiled for a moment, before finally fixing Alex with a glare."You heard it yourself, didn't you?"Shannon's sarcastic question certainly made Alex feel guilty. He looked down even deeper before he could no longer hold back the tears. "I really didn't expect Mrs Reynolds to have such horrible thoughts. She's trying to destroy you, even though she gave Reynolds Industries to you as a wedding gift."Shannon rose from her overstuffed chair and approached Alex, who sat kneeling on the floor, head down and sobbing. She gently grabbed both of Alex's shoulders and asked him to sit in the chair."Stand up, Mr Law. I don't want to look so high when the others are sitting low, despite their guilt."Shannon's statement certainly made Alex sob even more. Just by hearing Shannon's soft voice and the C

"W-what do you mean, Mrs Reynolds? Engaged?" asked a confused Arthur. His eyes narrowed sharply as he questioned the meaning of Jill's incomprehensible words. "How could you ask me to marry your daughter at a time like this, Mrs Reynolds?"Jill positioned her seat comfortably and leaned towards Arthur across the table so that they could be closer. She glanced around as if she didn't want anyone else listening in. "As I said before, Arthur. We can't do anything now but use Camellia. You can make her a pawn. I mean, we can ask her to help us dig up all the information about Reynolds Industries. That's all we can do for now, right?"Arthur shook his head slowly. His appetite was gone in an instant. "No, Mrs Reynolds. I can't accept this proposal. After all, without marrying her, we can ask her to help. She is still your daughter who will obey all your requests, Mrs Reynolds. Why should I marry her?"Arthur's persistent refusal made Jill frown in surprise. She even shook her

"You sure she'll choice, hun?"Aland's question, who was busy continuing his project with Osborne, made him inevitably distracted from the laptop to finish everything faster. He did take the time to look into Shannon's eyes when asking questions. But either way, Shannon felt uncomfortable when Aland no longer looked at her when she nodded in response."Can't you stop for a minute for me, Aland? You've been busy with a lot of business all day long, so is it okay if I ask for a moment of your time or your night long?"Aland stopped typing and quickly saved his document so as not to lose the changes he had been working on for the past ten minutes. He closed the laptop and climbed into bed. "Sorry for ignoring you. I don't understand what women want because I've never been close to the others gender. So, my bad. Really am."Shannon looked down with a reddish face as Aland approached, brushing her hair behind her ear. "Because of that, I won't hesitate to ask for your tim

Camellia was helping Jill sort through some documents in her room when the clock struck eight in the evening. There were still three other large cabinets to sort through in order to find important documents that might be useful to them in the future. But so far, Camellia had yet to obtain the document Arthur was referring to."As far as I remember, it was just put in a blue file. I don't know if Mrs Reynolds replaced it or not. Anyway, when you find a document that you're not allowed to touch at all, or even your mum's eyes are on it and no one is allowed to touch it, I guess that's my document."Camellia was shocked to death when Jill called out to her from a distance. She was wide-eyed, as if she had just been caught helping Arthur get the wedding of her dreams. She looked back, trying to make sure that her mum was hissing only at her.Jill chuckled in annoyance. She, who was also sorting documents from her desk, let out a long sigh. "Why do you have to look back, Lia?
