His Lord Justin Kimberly Chapter 17:
“Justin! Please stop this!” “Katherine, I’m here. I promised to protect you and prevent anyone from harming you. Trust me,” Justin said to Katherine, thinking that she doubted his strength. But what Justin didn’t know was that what made Katherine hesitate wasn’t whether or not she believed in him. It was the fact that Katherine had lived within the boundaries of decorum all her life, trying not to upset anyone. Since childhood, she had been taught that disrupting family happiness was a grave sin. “Justin! I understand that, but I don’t want to be kicked out of my family!” “You call this a family, Katherine? Have any of these people treated you well? They’ve made you toil, humiliated you, and even stolen from you. Don’t you remember?” Justin found it hard to comprehend Katherine’s desire. “But at least I have a job, a legitimate job that I love, and I get paid for it. I don’t want to lose my job at our company. Justin, I really don’t want to lose my job.” Katherine pleaded ear

Because it was an urgent command. The next morning, Justin boarded his fighter jet to return to the capital. Little Julie and Katherine had seen him off since early morning.Justin’s fighter jet appeared very prominent, and people around were discussing it.These details also reached Katherine’s ears, sparking her curiosity about the mysterious identity and power that Justin truly held.It had reached a point where even those who doubted Justin’s background as just the child of a bankrupted conglomerate found it hard to believe.However, she refrained from saying much about this matter.She held onto her trust in her fiancé. He had helped her a lot, and she didn’t see herself as someone of significant value to be exploited.This time, Justin had to return to the country of Sprezzatura.Traveling by plane would take only about four hours to reach the destination, a relatively short period, but he wasn’t sure how long it would take to return to Katherine once he set foot in his own king
His Lord Justin Kimberly Chapter 20:
“Impossible.”Justin’s resolute response frustrated even someone as calm as Richard.From the beginning until now, he had explained many reasons to him, hoping he could understand what was truly important.Yet, this person remained stubborn, like an uncontrollable horse without a bridle.Richard wasn’t the type to be excessively controlling, but he clearly wasn’t pleased when, despite his thorough persuasion, going as far as compromising, his close aide still didn’t comply.Richard was irritated, but he calmly pondered for a while. What was it about that woman that Justin was so determined not to give up?From his perspective, talking about love was like discussing a mundane story.The commoners, even in their love affairs, had to consider equality, let alone those who always stood in such top positions as them.If it were about love, he believed more in familial affection.Wasn’t the blind girl still a mother to a child?He heard Justin changed his decision after meeting that child,

“You are just an outsider; what do you know to speak like that?”Katherine bit her lip, her expression almost tearful. Uncomfortably, she spoke.“Of course, I know. I am his legal wife! Hamza, I understand you bear a grudge against my husband for making you lose face, but you can’t talk badly about others like this!”Hamza sneered.“Sure, you’re on the inside. You’re his intimate partner. Do you really know anything about him? Can you answer my questions?”Katherine, with an uncomfortable expression and on the verge of tears, replied.“I know. I am his legal wife! Hamza, I know you hold a grudge because my husband embarrassed you, but you can’t speak ill of others like this!”“I’m speaking ill? Well then, you tell me. Where is your husband right now, and why did he leave you stranded here like this?”Katherine, thinking about what the man had said, which was information from the king, hesitated to reveal the truth.Nevertheless, this was undoubtedly confidential information, and Justi

Mrs. Laura and Mr. Thomas appeared with stern and unfriendly expressions. At this moment, Julie seemed to have found an ally. She opened her mouth, ready to share her grievances with her grandparents. However, Mrs. Laura unexpectedly glared at her and shouted loudly:“You little brat, speaking impolitely and disrespectfully! Haven’t you learned to respect your elders? Apologize to uncle Hamza now!”Julie widened her eyes in surprise. “Grandma...”“Still arguing, huh? Your mother hasn’t taught you not to argue with adults? Any manners at all?”Then, Mrs. Laura turned to Hamza with a softer tone and said, “I apologize, Hamza. Julie doesn’t know proper manners, that’s why she spoke rudely. Please forgive her. I’ll teach her a lesson, maybe a good spanking, to make her behave and stop arguing with adults.”“Exactly, exactly,” immediately echoed Mr. Thomas, supporting his wife’s stance.With Hamza finding an ally, he became more assertive, adjusting his clothes and speaking up, “That’s rig
His Lord Justin Kimberly Chapter 23:
Mrs. Laura paused, unaware of what Julie was saying. Seizing the opportunity, the girl quickly added, “My dad is very rich, not any less than Mr. Verney, more. He has dozens of villas, many luxury cars, a private yacht, plenty of servants, valuable jewelry... In short, my dad is very wealthy.”Julie asserted confidently, causing Mrs. Laura to pause for a moment. But then she immediately composed herself and said, “You’re talking nonsense!”“I’m not talking nonsense. It’s all true. Think about it. Who else could cause a scene at Mr. Sherwood’s party? Nobody could make him humble either. My dad was the first.”Mrs. Laura thought carefully for a moment, finding Julie’s words reasonable.Seizing the moment, Julie continued, “That’s right, so now if you mess with me, it won’t end well. Besides, my dad said he’ll give you a villa this time, some properties in the city center, lots of designer goods, luxury cars, and everything you and mom want.”The girl spoke with enthusiasm and excitement
His Lord Justin Kimberly Chapter 24:
“Cut the nonsense talk.”Mrs. Laura gave Mr. Thomas a knock on the head, leaving him dazed. He scratched his head in confusion and complied with his wife’s command to leave. Meanwhile, Katherine stood frozen, looking at Mrs. Laura with suspicion and fear. At that moment, Julie whispered to her:“Mom, it’s okay, don’t worry. I’m here. Everything is fine.”Katherine seemed unable to hear Julie’s words, dismissing them as those of a mere five-year-old. Her mind was solely focused on Mrs. Laura.“Oh dear, my beloved daughter, why are you still here? Hurry downstairs and rest. Let me instruct your father to prepare some light snacks. Alright?”Even Katherine couldn’t believe the sudden change in Mrs. Laura’s demeanor. She stood up hesitantly and followed her downstairs as instructed.She did not know what had happened. So, as she sat down on the sofa, she asked her daughter:“What happened? What did you say to grandma?”Julie hid nothing and answered truthfully:“I told her that if she did

The sudden incident left Jeannie terrified. Even after the bicycle was hit, she hadn’t recovered.Ricard comforted Jeannie and then angrily walked to the driver's seat of the BMW, shouting, "What kind of driving is this? Didn’t you see the red light?""What's the rush? What's the rush?" The car door opened, and the young man stepped out slowly, "I didn't hit anyone. Just compensate you, right? How much do you want? Three thousand yuan enough?"The young man pulled out three thousand yuan from his pocket and threw it on the car's hood. Before Ricard could respond, he added another three thousand: "If it's not enough, here’s six thousand, okay?"Ricard took a deep breath, "This is not about money. I need your attitude, apologize to us!""Apologize? You must be joking. I didn't hit you. You just want money, right? Fine, here's ten thousand yuan. Is that enough?" The young man threw another stack of money on the hood.He then glanced at Jeannie, trying to gauge her reaction, but she didn'

The staff's words made Jeannie unconsciously look at Ricard.Although they had registered their marriage more than a month ago and even took wedding photos, their relationship had always been lukewarm. Now, suddenly being called Ricard's girlfriend, Jeannie's heart skipped a beat, and even the tension of the impending bungee jump was pushed aside."Hey, man, come here. What are you hiding from? Your girlfriend dares to jump, and you're hiding behind her. Come and hold her tightly." The staff urged, waving at Ricard.Of course, Ricard didn't refuse the staff's suggestion to jump while holding Jeannie, cheerfully running over.Jeannie looked at Ricard in front of her, seeming a bit hesitant: "Didn't we buy two separate tickets? Can't we jump one at a time?""That's right, a couple's ticket. Come here and stand firm, put on the equipment, and don't mess around." The staff said while fitting the equipment on Jeannie and Ricard. The eighty-meter-high jump platform had a hot wind blowing in

“Sure.” Ricard didn't hesitate to hand the Coca-Cola to Jeannie.Jeannie looked at the dark carbonated drink in her hand. There were many things she always wanted to try: singing wildly, acting cute like other girls, playing with social media apps, buying her favorite snacks. But due to her family's strict upbringing, she never did anything too extreme. She never went to karaoke to sing loudly, never bought a pile of snacks, never bought a bunch of cold drinks in the summer. She always maintained a calm and mature demeanor, drinking a hot cup of tea at the company every day. Sometimes she would see others with a cold drink and feel a desire to take a sip, but she feared that doing so would shatter the dignified image she had built in front of her employees. Although she appeared to have many things, she had never experienced things that were easily within reach for ordinary people.Like Coca-Cola. When she was young, her family didn't let her touch these carbonated drinks. As she grew

For Ricard, physical endurance wasn’t an issue. Cycling seventy kilometers, even carrying Jeannie, was no problem for him. Along the way, they chatted and laughed, making the time fly by.Two hours passed unnoticed. The midday sun blazed overhead, heating the road. Ricard cycled along the highway, enjoying occasional shade from roadside trees."President Demneri, are you thirsty? I’ll buy us some drinks." Ricard stopped at a roadside stall, buying two cold Coca-Colas."Why Coca-Cola?" Jeannie asked, puzzled.“For the refreshing taste.” Ricard took a gulp, letting out a satisfied “Ah.”“I’ll have water instead.” Jeannie placed the Coke on the counter, opting for a bottle of mineral water.Ricard gallantly opened the bottle for her, and Jeannie took small sips.Ricard could tell Jeannie was very thirsty, but she still drank slowly, a habit from childhood.“Alright, let’s go. Only twenty kilometers left. If I speed up, we can reach Haihu soon and enjoy the afternoon there.”Ricard resume

Ricard heard the cheers and smiled, looking at the woman standing at the microphone with pride. This was his wife, capable and talented! With a few short sentences, she had inspired everyone’s enthusiasm. The employees' attitude towards work could indeed shape the future development of the company.Irena, who had just been fired, had packed her belongings and quietly left through the side entrance of the company. Seeing Maria with a large rose pinned to her chest, standing at the front of the company and receiving praise, made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She had heard everything Jeannie said over the microphone. Five hundred thousand, even split between two, was still two hundred and fifty thousand each! Why should Maria get that money?Irena glared at the company's main entrance with resentment. If it weren’t for Maria and that damned new hire, today’s events wouldn't have involved her!Irena took a deep breath, trying to console herself. Even if Maria got two hundred and fifty

Jeannie chuckled lightly. "In the end, you're still trying to comfort me, but in your own unique way.""Am I? Ha ha." Ricard laughed heartily, ruffling his hair. "Sit down." Jeannie gestured to Ricard.Ricard did not stand on ceremony, sprawling comfortably on the sofa.Jeannie poured him a cup of tea, an unprecedented gesture from her. This act made Ricard feel both pampered and uneasy. "No, no!" Ricard quickly stopped her."What's the matter? Are you mocking me?" Jeannie shot Ricard a sharp look. "A man who can easily get the head of the largest corporation in France to come to Supperazza to sign a contract can’t accept a cup of tea from me?"Ricard gave a wry smile. Initially, he hadn't planned to let Jeannie know about Eugene, but with today's events, including Prince Charles’s presence, there was no way to keep it hidden.After pouring the tea, Jeannie sat down opposite Ricard, lightly rubbing her forehead. "As usual, explain.""Ah… I saved Eugene’s life once, and since then he’s

When Eugene heard that Jeannie was Ricard's wife, his expression immediately turned respectful. "Lovely lady, forgive me for saying, but you truly are the most beautiful angel I've ever met.""Uncle Eugene is the manager of the Zefiro Group, the largest financial group in France," Prince Charles reintroduced Eugene to Jeannie.Although Prince Charles didn't use flowery language or mention astronomical wealth, saying it was the largest in France was enough for Jeannie to understand the significance of the old man standing before her. A man like this could hardly be someone Ricard found to collude in defrauding the company.Outside the reception room, Naccy and her group waited for the outcome.Jeannie quickly exited the reception room, and they all looked at her, awaiting a response.Jeannie scanned the group and spoke, "Director Naccy, this has been a misunderstanding. Mr. Eugene is indeed the partner Ricard found.""How can that be?" Naccy's first reaction was disbelief. How could so

"Mr. Eugene, please wait. I'll go get Ricard.""No need," Eugene called Maria back. "Ricard entrusted this deal to me. If you don't sign it, I'll refuse to cooperate.""What?""Girl, how your company distributes the bonus between you and Ricard is none of my business. You can discuss it with your boss later. For now, go get the contract."The sudden success of the deal and the enormous bonus were overwhelming for Maria. It took her a while to process it.As Maria left the reception room to get the contract, her face still showed signs of disbelief.Everyone in the business department saw Maria's expression. When she left the reception room, they all started talking."What's wrong? Couldn't close the deal?""She looks like she failed.""She's a rookie trying to handle a deal herself. What did you expect?"Kristy and others showed disdain. "No," Maria waved her hands. "The deal is done. The client agreed to sign the contract.""Signed?" Kristy's eyes widened in disbelief.

Spin-off 4: Ricard (115)
"Three... hundred thousand?" Maria's eyes glazed over at the number. Her family was ordinary, and her parents had worked hard their whole lives without saving that much money. Three hundred thousand was enough to buy a house in Supperazza, enough for someone unemployed to live comfortably for years, or to buy a BMW. For Maria, three hundred thousand was an unimaginable fortune.Hearing Eugene say that this deal alone could yield a bonus of three hundred thousand made Maria feel like she was dreaming. "Girl, so, will you sign the contract, or do I need to call Ricard?"Maria swallowed hard, stammering, "I... I..."Hearing Maria's response, Eugene felt a bit disappointed. He understood that three hundred thousand might not mean much to him, but it could change an ordinary person's life. With three hundred thousand, they could buy a big house, a luxury car."I... I need to call Ricard and ask him to treat me to a good meal. Three hundred thousand is a lot! Mr. Eugene, please wait a momen
