No surprise there.As they left, Caesar immediately leaned in to kiss her passionately in the car, their tongues intertwined without a care for the public.Monica held him tightly, her head tilted back for a deeper kiss."How about skipping the office this afternoon?" He asked between kisses."No.""Let's go home...""Don't."So stubborn!He closed his eyes, resting his forehead against hers to calm himself.After a while, he kissed her forehead gently, buried his face in her hair, inhaled deeply, and finally let her go."Tonight, I'll show you what happens when we get home." He started the car, teeth gritted."Can I apologize first?""An apology needs sincerity.""Drive quickly; I'm almost late."Her coy tone made the man driving itch with desire, wanting to take her home or to a nearby hotel.They arrived at the publishing house with five minutes to spare, just in time. If Paula Joukanen caught her late again, who knew what she would do."Oh, Monica, why are your lips so red?" Anni

"There won't be.""Take a painkiller first, then we'll go have breakfast."He helped her sit up against the headboard, placed a pillow behind her, and handed her a glass of warm water and a pill."Open your mouth!"She obediently opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.Whether it was psychological or not, her headache seemed to lessen almost immediately."You're so good to me, husband," she said, smiling sweetly at him."Flattery won't help. Resign immediately. I don't want my wife out socializing, drinking, and getting taken advantage of by others." If he hadn't arrived in time last night, it wouldn't have been just a simple case of being taken advantage of.If she hadn't fainted last night, he would have beaten that despicable guy to a pulp."I know. I'll submit my resignation today.""Just rest. I'll handle it.""Okay." She lazily lay back on the bed, not wanting to move, holding onto his hand."Did I throw up last night?" she asked."You threw up everywhere! You even soiled your

Though he disliked her working, if she found staying home too boring, he could at least provide her with an outlet.The cultural sector was unfamiliar to him, but for her, he had invested. Now, even Ryo and Lucas in London were interested.Both of their wives were notable in their fields—one a renowned novel translator with her own studio, the other, Ryo's sister, who started drawing out of boredom and became a successful manga artist with a unique style and a significant following, though temporarily paused due to pregnancy.Former doctor Ryo decided to invest in their careers, collaborating with Caesar and Lucas, securing control over Reccel, all for their beloved wives."Husband, I want to do something else now," Monica said, hugging him, smiling beautifully."Oh? Tell me.""Let's have another child, okay?"Her fair cheeks turned rosy, making his heart flutter."Are you inviting me to make a baby right now?""Mr. Caesar, do you accept this invitation?""Of course." He lifted her a

After each round of the show, the outfits worn by the models were quickly snapped up. Soon, the dozens of outfits Luccie had meticulously prepared were all bought, and those who didn't get one immediately placed orders for the new season.The final round featured wedding dresses, and the last model showcasing the most important piece was none other than the designer herself, Luccie.In a wedding dress of classic design, adorned with countless jewels, Luccie appeared even more elegant and stunning.As soon as she stepped out, Luccie received thunderous applause, but no one rushed to buy this special wedding dress.As the spoiled rich girl walked the runway, shouts filled the hall, "Where's the groom? Where's the groom?""Honey, is there really a groom?" Julie whispered to Ryo."No idea." He shrugged.Eleanor sighed deeply.Luccie had walked halfway down the runway in her wedding dress. Everyone thought there wouldn't be a groom, so some were already preparing to place orders for the dr

a daughter, she'll be like you were as a child, a lovable girl everyone adores." Christopher agreed, as he also preferred a well-behaved, cultured daughter.After breakfast, Rhodi, having eaten in the study, was picked up by his grandparents.He must have secretly called them for rescue! Joy thought, both amused and exasperated, as her son waved obediently.While Christopher cleaned up, she went to the study to get their briefcases and noticed a crumpled handkerchief on his desk. Frowning, she picked it up, sure it was her son's makeshift napkin.She was about to throw it away when she saw a familiar mark.Turning it over, she found the name "Jojo" embroidered in red thread at the corner.How did this handkerchief get here? How could it?"Joy, are you ready?"Christopher entered, seeing her holding the familiar handkerchief. He looked a bit awkward, "What's wrong?"How did she end up with this? Didn't he keep it in a small box on the bookshelf? It was just a keepsake like the statue.

Unable to walk properly, the butler carried her back. As they passed the living room, she caught a glimpse of the tall figure standing beside her father, holding a glass of wine, smiling and chatting—completely different from the unkind man outside.Sensing her gaze, he turned slightly.

Fortunately, there were no internal injuries, but both of his legs were broken, meaning he would have to stay in bed for at least two months, followed by physical therapy. The duration of the therapy would depend on how well he recovered."So, basically, I won't be able to walk for a year, right?"He frowned deeply, extremely displeased with the doctor's prognosis."That's one way to put it. But Dr. Ryo, don't be too pessimistic. You've just had surgery, and what I just said is based on your current condition. We'll have to do more detailed examinations to know for sure.""Leave now.""Alright. If you feel unwell or have any questions, just press the call button or ask a nurse."After the doctor and nurses left, only the two of them remained in the room."Do you want to eat something? Porridge? Or fruit?" Cratsy cautiously asked.Norman's mood was extremely bad, and her constant chatter was getting on his nerves, making him more irritable. "You can leave now."He coldly dismissed her.

Ryo rubbed his temples. "I'm Norman's brother. It's normal for him to think of me and for me to care for him. Don't overthink it. Our baby won't be happy.""Are you annoyed by me?" she asked, feeling wronged."Silly, why would I be? I'm just worried you'll overthink and be unhappy.""Because I'm silly, you find me annoying.""No matter how silly, I love you.""But don't men prefer smart women?""Believe me, men prefer smart daughters, not wives.""Really?""Really.""But what if our smart daughter can't find a partner?""Our daughter will be an exception."Ryo's sweet words finally cheered her up, making her forget her unfounded jealousy."Honey, you must take me to my brother's wedding next month.""Of course. If you're well, we'll go. Maybe even take a trip. Now, let's have some afternoon tea.""Carry me.""Sure, I'll carry my lovely wife and our baby to tea."Ryo effortlessly lifted Eleanor, taking her to enjoy a sweet afternoon tea.Norman, refusing to have strangers invade his sp

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'
Spin-off 4: Ricard (122)
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
Spin-off 4: Ricard (117)
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. She knew the v
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
