“Jessica,” he said, nodding at her. “I need to discuss something with you..."Jessica, wanting to hold Winter's hand as she stretched it forward, withdrew it.She glanced at Kael, narrowing her eyes before standing up. The lady patted Winter's back, gently reminding her, " Your body needs a lot of rest." " I know, Jessica. I won't stress myself in any manner." A satisfied smile crept on Winter's lips, assuring Jessica. Jessica smiled back at her and went ahead to meet Kael. During this interaction between the two ladies, Emily observed them both, realization dawning on her face. Jessica had won over Winter, using her profession as a gateway, she thought. Now, it was obvious Winter would stick to Jessica and the latter could take advantage of this chance.Damn! She had to admit Jessica was smart and witted in this aspect! Implementing her goals through a potential link. While James was her goal, the potential link turned out to be Winter. Great! The expression on her f
She paused, snapping her fingers. " Learn to stay away from what's none of your concern. I want James, and you aren't going to stop me because of what you feel about me. Get that clear! Your feelings doesn't count, the only thing I care about is James!''" This is what you have turned into, Jessica?" Kael said through gritted teeth, his knuckles turning into white as he continued fisting his palms! " This is not what I have turned into. This is what you believed that I am now." Saying this, she flipped her hair to one side, uncrossing her arms. She took one last glance at Kael, disregarding him and any of his words with her impolite look. " Stay out of this Kael, or will you be the shameless chit chat that would inform James about this new update? No one can change my mind! I will win over James, and he will be my god of war!" Afterwards, she strode past Kael, out of the room, as she withdraw her eyes away from him, clicking her tongue. A quick flash of frown appeared
The instant the statement was uttered from her lips, a suffocating atmosphere blasted through the phone! "Ha!" Juliet yelled, her hands on the phone trembling terribly, shuffling a step backward. "The nerve of you?" A deep growl echoed from the other end of the call, sending an uncontrollable fear to her heart! " Tell me if you are tired of living, I will grant your request!" " No.........I....am....not." Juliet stammered, her voice above a whisper, and shook her head multiple times. " It was.....a mistake. ..I didn't mean to say such. ....I didn't think of what I just said..... please...pardon me." " Get me, Emily, and if you don't, get ready for your whole family to be burnt down to ashes!" Code Red commanded fiercely. " Only if you follow my wish can you enjoy your life and rise higher in status and wealth!" Beep beep The man ended the call instantly after his cold order to Emily, whose hand was still trembling due to the fear earlier. After a while, Juliet sucked
" Tell me a good news." He spoke up, answering the call excitedly. " It's better to be a good one worthy of my time or you will be fired!" " Oh yes, it is, Mr. Zhao." The secretary at the other end answered enthusiastically. " What is it?!" Zhao's eagerness grew immediately, brimming at his face. " Mr. Zhao, our plummeting stocks have risen more than thirty percent this morning, and we have got numerous calls about foreign investors willing to cooperate with the Song corporation. This would lead to more income, approximately some billion dollars, including our products that are now back in the market." Hearing the analysis of his secretary, Zhao's eyes lit up extremely well, suppressing his urge to scream out as he clenched his fists! Yes! He had done it! He saved his company once again! How he wished his grandson could saved majestically like this?! He would have been the happiest man among the world's eight billion population! Satisfaction roamed across his eyes, no
At the base house, James walked down the dimly lit hallway and entered the living area, where Winter was waiting. Her posture tensed, eyes scanning the doorway. She seemed almost restless as if the weight of the secrets were pressing down on her shoulders. James gave her a curt nod as he approached.“Winter,” he greeted her, his voice calm but with a hint of curiosity. He knew she had valuable information about the Tarlose family, which couldn't be delayed now. Winter met his gaze, her eyes sharp. “James, I told you I have solid evidence against the Tarlose,” she began. “I have tried to open my account through the available computer here. I know who’s helping them, and I know those that have been hurt by them too.”James nodded, encouraging her to continue. “That’s good. It’s exactly what we need. We can’t go after them without understanding who’s on their side,” he spoke up, his eyes calculating. “What else do you know?”Winter hesitated, glancing away before speaking, “Ther
Emily’s eyes widened, and she covered her mouth as shock etched on her face! “Oh my goodness! Is this real?!" she whispered, her voice barely containing her excitement.The lady almost jumped, unable to calm the rush of emotions in her! The call made a scream build in her, relieving her of the sad emotions earlier. What?! A large corporation willing to invest one billion dollars in the Thompson company which was already on the verge of collapsing soon. Oh, the one billion dollars could save the company at the moment..She thought if this was the investor from James but immediately shook her head, doubting it. If it truly was, James would have informed her right and it couldn't possibly be a surprise. Feeling more than excitement brimming in her eyes, she spoke up confidently, " Yes, yes! I will be at the company as soon as possible." Then the call was hung up from the other end.Quickly, she stood up and skipped over to where Sarah was, not willing to waste even a second
At the same time, Emily had just gotten to the company, together with Sarah. The little girl couldn’t stop blinking her eyes, admiring the tall building of the Thompsons' company and pointing out things that were catchy and attractive to her. ‘’ Don’t cause a scene, Sarah, there are so many people watching us and you have to keep it low alright?’’ Emily cautioned her daughter, tapping on her nose gently. ‘’ if you don’t behave, there won’t be any princess party. Is that clear?’’ Hearing what her mother just said, Sarah pouted, finding it unfair. It had been a while since she had gone out and only wanted to admire the beauty of the city. ‘’ I know what you are thinking baby.’’ Emily let out a quiet sigh, rubbing her daughter’s hands lovingly with hers. ‘’ There’s always time for everything. You will be able to admire the beauty around you once we are done with the big deal. You can your fun the way you like , but right now, the big deal comes first sweetie.’’ Blinking her eyes
" You used me back then, calling me obedient?! Do you think that is obedient?! Mum, I bet you don't know what love is! If you do, you will understand the value of it, and how special it is. Maybe you will learn how to treat people better."‘’ I can’t believe you, Emily, you don’t act like my daughter!’’ Juliet shook her head, contorting her eyes, unable to accept what Emily was saying.This couldn’t be!‘’ You should learn to talk to me better and do the right thing otherwise I will kick you out of the house and never recognize you! You have caused so many problems for me and your daughter, starting from when you had a nightstand with your penniless husband and carrying an illegitimate child! We condone all your mistakes, Emily, and now you couldn’t do the same for us? You are so shameless and ungrateful!’’ She shoot back at Emily, glowering at Sarah who was still cowering behind her mother as if she wanted to use her eyes to pierce the little child!‘’ Your useless product is nothin
