"Let the young ones handle their affairs," Cratsy's mother intervened, seeing her daughter's expression and quickly changing the subject. "It's rare for us to eat together. Let's talk about happy things.""Alright." Cratsy's father nodded, turning to her. "Cratsy, Arbesa will be visiting from Malaysia in a few days. She wants to learn more at the company. Let her follow you.""Why doesn't she go to our company?" Phaimary protested first.Arbesa was their cousin. Though they grew up together, Phaimary didn't like her much, though Cratsy didn’t mind."Sure, that's fine."****In the evening, Norman came home with a furious expression.The past few nights, to avoid being affected by her departure, he stayed at the company’s rest area but still couldn't sleep well.Tonight, he couldn't help but drive back.Entering the house, it was dark and cold, making him even more frustrated.He casually tossed his jacket onto the sofa, went to the kitchen for a glass of water, but found the bottle em

As she hurried out of the hotel lobby, she almost collided with someone. Cratsy took a few steps back and bumped into the glass door, but a strong hand caught her waist just in time."Sorry..." She started to apologize, but when she saw that the person holding her was Norman, she was so shocked she couldn't speak."In a hurry to reincarnate?" Norman looked down at her still-surprised and slightly frightened face.It had been a while since they'd last seen each other. She seemed to have lost some weight, not just on her face, but her waist felt slimmer too. He couldn't help but stroke it.For the first time, he realized just how soft a woman's waist could be.Sensing his touch, Cratsy, who had now recovered from the shock, blushed, "What... what are you doing? Let go.""Now I realize you have a pretty good figure," Norman said as he released her, though he still fondly remembered the softness.They had shared a bed for a long time, and she often stuck close to him while sleeping. How h

From childhood, she was always compared to her cousin and never measured up. As the younger one, she was always told to follow Cratsy's example. Even when Cratsy married Norman, her mother often told her to find a man no less than Norman. This time, her parents sent her to learn from Cratsy. How could she accept this?The only thing that comforted her was that Cratsy and Norman eventually divorced.If she could win over a man like Norman, imagine the satisfaction.But today, his cold, heartless attitude hurt her deeply. Returning home to be questioned by Cratsy made her feel the jealousy burning stronger."Why can't I go to Norman? I like him. Why can't I confess? You're divorced. What right do you have to interfere in his affairs?" Her voice was emotional.Cratsy frowned slightly. "I don't intend to interfere with anyone. I'm just reminding you that you and Norman aren't suitable. You don't understand him at all..."Arbesa cut her off angrily, "Enough. I don't want to hear it. You're

So, the assistant had gone to his house in the afternoon and noticed something was off. Unfortunately, as an assistant, he couldn’t meddle in his boss’s private affairs.He had asked if Norman wanted to go to the hospital, only to be met with a curt, "Go home."Out of humanitarian concern, after leaving, the assistant had called Cratsy.After hanging up, Cratsy hurriedly left the office.Despite always ending up at a disadvantage with him, hearing he wasn’t well and wouldn’t go to the hospital worried her.She knew he was too proud to ask anyone for help.Sigh, she thought, I must be destined to be a servant.****Before heading to his house, Cratsy stopped by the supermarket, buying two large bags of groceries before heading to Mr. Norman’s place.Despite her lingering grievances, she remembered what was missing when she left and had bought everything.She must have owed him in a past life!Carrying the two heavy bags out of the elevator, she remembered she still had the apartment ke

Norman grunted, sitting at the table. The aroma of the porridge made his empty stomach growl.Cratsy sat opposite, propping her chin on her hands, watching him. "Is it good?" she asked."Decent," he replied without looking up.Well, "decent" was a compliment from him. Getting praise from him was harder than reaching the sky!"Tomorrow, I’ll have the butler send someone to care for you.""Try it," he warned, pausing his spoon."Your brother’s orders." She probed."Cratsy, are you playing games?" he glared at her."I have work tomorrow. I can’t be here every day." That was the truth."With your abilities, what can you possibly do for the company?" He finished his small bowl of porridge and calmly pushed the empty bowl toward her. "Another bowl."This man was truly outrageous.Just a moment ago, he had clearly looked down on her, and now he was treating her like a servant!Resigned to her fate of being a servant in front of him, she pouted and obediently went to get him another bowl."On

Arbesa turned away, ignoring Cratsy, and spoke to Phaimary. "Phaimary, can you drive me?""I'm busy." He flatly refused."Here's the key." Arbesa, feeling both hurt and angry, threw the apartment key at Phaimary and left with her suitcase.Was she cutting ties?Cratsy silently took the keys from her brother.Let her be! She had enough of her own troubles without worrying about others' feelings.****Back in her cozy apartment, she took a hot shower, dried her hair, and sat on the bed. Her thoughts wandered to whether he had taken his medicine, if his fever had gone down, and his parents' cold attitude.No matter how distant the relationship, he was still their son. How could they not care at all?This question puzzled her.Unconsciously, she opened Skype and saw Julie was online. Maybe she knew why?After some thought, she sent a message but received no reply even after 10 minutes.It was almost 11 PM; Julie was probably asleep. Oh well.Before lying down, she couldn't resist sending

Her words instantly soothed him."Really?" Norman asked doubtfully, feeling touched for the first time because she agreed to stay by his side."Aren't I here? Go rest in bed for a bit; we can't have you passing out again. I can't lift you.""Okay." He replied softly, awkwardly putting his arm around her shoulder, leaning half his weight on her, fully enjoying the warmth and softness, with no intention of letting go.She came back, how wonderful!Did this mean he still held an important place in her heart?Just like that night, when she lay under him and said, "For you, I'm willing!"Thinking about it, a strange sense of pride filled his chest, even though he didn't quite understand why.Slowly, they made their way from the living room to the bedroom, where she helped him lie down and thoughtfully tucked him in.Suddenly, the silent man spoke, "Get up here.""What for?" She turned, intending to get him a glass of water, confused by his request."Lie down," Norman said nonchalantly, as

"And who are you?" Phaimary, regaining composure, retorted, though she had an inkling of the man's identity."You called and you're asking me who I am?" Norman, wanting to know the caller's relationship with Cratsy, refrained from hanging up immediately."Why is Cratsy's phone with you?" Phaimary asked fearlessly.Cratsy? The familiarity in the name irked Norman. He had never called her that."She's sleeping in my bed. Is it strange that I have her phone?" Norman childishly taunted."Norman, how dare you bully her?" Phaimary's voice rose with indignation."You know who I am?" Norman asked, not hiding his displeasure."You're a jerk! I'm Cratsy's current boyfriend. Knowing her ex-husband isn't wrong. Now let her talk!"Boyfriend? What nonsense!They hadn't even been apart for a month. Where did this boyfriend come from?The usually composed man felt a surge of anger he couldn't suppress. In a fit of rage, he flung the phone against the wall, shattering it.Hmph, boyfriend? Go to hell!

Spin-off 4: Ricard (123-end)
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
Spin-off 4: Ricard (120)
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
Spin-off 4: Ricard (119)
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
Spin-off 4: Ricard (118)
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
Spin-off 4: Ricard (116)
"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
