"Lemme help you, Ms Reynolds—"
Aland had not finished his sentence when Shannon had first turned her head with a sharp gaze. He stammered for a moment, then scratched his unsteady head."Sorry, babe. I'm just not used to it."Shannon went back to cleaning her make-up in front of the dressing table in the room as Aland awkwardly opened his shirt. Every now and then, Shannon's tail lights up, trying to steal a glance at Aland's muscular body. Who would have thought that she would stutter because she was shocked at the sight of Aland's mesmerising chest?Hearing the bottle of facial cleanser Shannon dropped while holding it, Aland twisted his head. He ignored the unbuttoned shirt to come closer. "What's wrong? Are you okay, hm?"Shannon blinked quickly. Especially when she saw Aland's chest in front of her eyes. She swallowed hard as she tried to turn her attention elsewhere. "My hand just feels be drained. I just didn't expect this day to c

"What are you doing, Aland? We're going to be late!"The commotion at the Reynolds' house made Jill and Camellia, who were already seated at the dining table, turn around quickly. Both of them were waiting for Shannon to come down the stairs without a second thought with a mug of hot chocolate.Aland, who was following behind Shannon's back, came down at a faster pace. All the while, his hands were busy putting on his suit as he passed Shannon, who was busy with a call.Jill and Camellia had looked up triumphantly as they almost reached the last staircase rushed. They smiled happily at the thought that their plan would teach Aland and Shannon an excellent lesson.Camellia had even glanced at the phone she had set up to record everything from the best angle, using her tripod light in the room.Unfortunately, Aland pulled Shannon up the last flight of stairs before Shannon's feet stepped through the thousands of shards of transparent flower

“Are they getting crazy? They’re even making out in front of us. Are they deliberately making us angry? Are they deliberately showing their romance? Bloody hell! No couple looks romantic in front of their family, right, mum?”Camellia had been swearing ever since before her mum’s car left her residence. She clasped her hands together in annoyance and leaned her head back because she was about to feel dizzy.“They have something to hide, Lia. I think we were right. They’re not in love like the other couples. They’re just putting on a little charade to take Reynolds Industries away from me. Unbelievable. I can’t go in.”Jill’s thoughts made Lia nod in confirmation. “They even held each other without hesitation in front of us. Are they trying to insinuate that you don’t have a mate in your old age, mum?”Jill twisted her head. Her eyes squinted sharply as her index finger pointed in front of her face. “Watch your language, Lia. Don’t you look in the

"Never equate yourself with Arthur, Cobb. No matter how hard you try to be recognised as Fischer's son, Arthur will be unmatched. He will show you who has the right to JF Groups as soon as possible."After warning Aland, Jill and Camellia quickly left there and got into the car quickly. The next second, Camellia opened the car window only to brandish her middle finger emotionally."What the fuck with both of you guys?"Seeing Camellia's behaviour, Shannon just glanced at Aland in disbelief. She clasped Aland's hand tightly again. "If you change your mind, you can back out before, Aland. But not now. I won't let you go, even if the whole world is against me."Hearing Shannon's words, Aland only nodded in understanding. He took Shannon to meet Smith as promised to finalise the legalisation of Reynolds Industries' ownership that Jill had made earlier.Instead of being surprised that Aland and Shannon had secretly married, Smith could only sh

"You don't have any choice, Arthur."Arthur let out a long sigh. He was sitting in a room of a small company founded by one of Jill's friends, struggling to adapt quickly. Moreover, he didn't really like talking to new people he didn't know."You know I don't have any confidence when I meet new people, Mrs Reynolds. How could you ask me to work as a marketing team that has to be on the ground? Working door to door to promote JF Printing is already driving me almost crazy. How am I going to work here just to fulfil my own needs? Can't you lend me some money for my living expenses for a year here?"Jill chuckled in annoyance. She closed her eyes and paced in front of her desk. It wasn't so much to deliberate as it was to find another reason for her not to be at a disadvantage."I've even sent five years' worth of living expenses to two people who were incompetent enough to kill someone with your reference, Arthur. Should I pay another one to finish

"What's going on, mum?" asked Camellia hurriedly. She was surprised to see Jill pacing the room that was to be the new quarters for Shannon, the newly appointed managing director in the Reynolds Industries ballroom with many journalists invited.Jill trembled and shook her head slowly. She looked down quietly before nervously biting her thumb. "I'm crazy, Lia! I must be crazy!"Seeing the opportunity of her mum not paying attention to her surroundings, Camellia gently returned Jill's phone to its original position. She covered the phone with the edge of the sofa cushion to disguise its position.While doing so, Camellia hugged Jill, who was now closed in her arms, trying to calm down her uncontrollable behaviour."Mum, don't do that, mum. You're not crazy. What have you done to look this depressed? Look at me, mum. Listen to me, look at me!"Camellia framed Jill's face with both hands, then tried to keep her calm by instructing her to tak

Hearing that, Aland turned around quickly, followed by several employees who were previously busy looking at the facade of the building to be fixed up for a more colourful future of JF Travel. He looked questioningly at Jill as she girded her loins."No one knew Arthur was gone, Mrs Reynolds. Not even me. Then how do you know my stepbrother left his two subsidiaries alone without authorising him to run the business here? Do you know something?"Suddenly, Jill looked the other way. Her hands, which had been clasped arrogantly, now looked limp as she was busy making excuses."Everyone who knows him even better knows that Arthur hasn't been here since your wedding. No one saw Arthur at your and Shannon's wedding. Nor was he among the entrepreneurs present in the Reynolds Industries ballroom. So why should I know something after deducing it myself after looking at everything from the other side?"Aland looked disturbed. While staring at the JF Travel

"What do you think, Pete?"Aland's first words came after taking the time to meet Dwyane earlier. After hearing quite a few stories from Dwyane, Aland immediately went to his old residence where Pete lived while monitoring things.Pete shook his head in disbelief. As he watched every move of the workers at JF Moulding and JF Properties, his hands that were interlocked to rest on his chin slowly unravelled. "We can trust Ms Hiils, Aland. But not Arthur. He may have turned mellow because of his pinched condition and meeting up with his old friend. See him after he got out of his troubles to get JF Printing out of the bankruptcy line? He even hurt Shannon in public, didn't he?"Aland let out a long sigh. His head rested on the sofa across from the dining table that had been turned into a multi-functional table by Pete, who now lived alone."I'm getting worried."Pete stopped his activity, then looked at Aland intently. He slowly opened his g

"What do you think about it?" asked Shannon enthusiastically. Her eyes were wide, watching her husband as he continued to read the proposal that one of the general managers had just submitted regarding the newest product to be launched.Aland nodded slowly, then glanced at his wife, who still looked enthusiastic, waiting for his reaction. His smile grew before Aland finally closed the proposal that Shannon had not yet signed for approval."I think if Reynolds Industries is going to venture into electronic products, you should also consider many things, Shannon. Not just about the machine, but also the quality of the glass that will be housed, as well as the safety of the customers. There will be more things to prepare before launching it."Shannon pointed at the timing with her lips pursed. Her eyebrows rose and fell as if in response to her husband's words. "You should have seen the time estimate, Aland. Do you think this can go ahead? I know it's probabl
