"Please forgive our impudence, sir. We have undermined you and insulted you. We were fools to do such a thing." Reggie prostrated himself while shaking.Together with Maya, they had not yet gotten up because Shawn had been silent while looking coldly at them. Shawn felt that they were not sincere people. Even after Shawn leaves, they will still belittle people again. How many times had Shawn encountered people like this? It was exhausting.Shawn picked up the box of the jewelry set. He had a hard time putting it into his shirt pockets and pants pockets. This jewelry is too much.Since Reggie and Maya didn't get any response from Shawn, they nudged each other. Then they slowly stood up from where they were prostrate. They watched Shawn nervously. They were still reluctant to interact with the man in front of them. He must have taken great offense to what Maya and Reggie had said earlier.Shawn then looked at them. Their eyes kept looking down for fear of angering Shawn again. Shawn let
"So this is where I end up," Shawn thought as he and Rachel arrived at Rachel's house. After the wedding ceremony, Rachel had intended to have Shawn move in with her. Whether he liked it or not, Shawn would go inside this house.They both got out of the car and immediately entered Rachel's room. Rachel immediately sat down on the soft spring bed there.Rachel then pointed to the sofa. "Your bed is over there, Shawn. You must sleep on the sofa even though we are husband and wife."Shawn looked at the sofa. It was a sofa that was not that big. Shawn's feet would hang there. The couch also looked uncomfortable because it was leather, so it was not very warm.Shawn then sat next to Rachel. "We are now legally husband and wife. It's no longer a problem if we sleep in the same bed,"Rachel furrowed her brows and looked sullen. Her eyes refused to look at Shawn.Shawn thought that he was too offensive to Rachel. She needs to set the mood. "Relax, I won't touch you, Rachel. You'll be safe."I
They looked back. Shawn exhaled when he saw that it was a well-dressed man with a nice smile.The man waved as he ran toward Rachel. He immediately hugged Rachel and held her close. Rachel also returned the hug and rubbed the man's back several times during the hug.Rachel lit up when she saw the man. He flashed a sweet smile effortlessly. It was different when Rachel was with Shawn. Rachel often made a fierce face. Shawn continued to watch them.When their embrace broke, the man's hands remained on Rachel's shoulders. "What a coincidence that you came here, Rachel. It's been a while since you've been here. How about you come to my family's villa? I'm sure my mom and dad will miss you too. We can have fun there. I brought a lot of meat, we can have a barbecue together. Wouldn't that make for a lively evening?"The man was very noisy. She smiled and greeted Rachel sweetly but did not see Shawn at all. He ignored Shawn's presence even though Shawn was right behind Rachel. It seemed like
"The last time we ate was at breakfast with your parents. Are you hungry yet, Rachel?" asked Shawn to Rachel, who was sitting with her back against the chair. The girl looked a little weak after spending time putting things into the villa with Shawn.Rachel nodded. "Yes. My body feels very weak now. We'd better find some dinner."Before we knew it, the sky had turned dark. Shawn and Rachel forgot to eat lunch, and they continued until it was nighttime. Shawn felt a little guilty for not paying much attention to their meal schedule that day, even though Rachel was pregnant.Shawn stood up with the intention of finding something to eat. "Wait a minute, I'll get us something to eat."Rachel even stood up. "Hmm, wouldn't it be better to eat out together?"Shawn smiled slightly at Rachel's idea. They could get closer and know each other better if they ate at one table.When they were about to head out, the villa bell rang first. Rachel hurried to the door and opened it. Mike was already at
Shawn's eyes opened wide and his heart pounded as the dice bounced on the ground. He had high hopes that the dice would give him a good result.However, Shawn's hopes were dashed when the dice rolled and showed a three.[Ding!][Congratulations! You got a lucky 3!][Lucky Dice will disappear.]Shawn was stunned. He immediately shook his head. The result that appeared was more disappointing than Shawn wanted. "Shit! How could I get a three? I should have gotten a six! I lost my luck."Shawn became a little weak because it was the first time Shawn felt disappointed with the results given by the system. Rolling dice like this is indeed like playing at gambling. People would put their hopes high on the game.Shawn who had convinced himself to roll the dice ended up disappointed because he couldn't get more. What's more, the dice were now gone and Shawn didn't know when he would get such great power again.Shawn sat back down and leaned his back. Shawn thought today would be fun because he
"Be careful, this road is quite slippery." Shawn led the old man across the road to his car. The old man's steps were not very fast due to his shortness of breath. The effects of the drowning were still felt in his frail body.Shawn patiently held and guided the old man to his car. Shawn opened the back door so the old man could sit there. "Be patient, we're going to the hospital soon, old man."Shawn hurriedly got into his car to drive to the nearest hospital. However, even the closest hospital turned out to be an hour-long drive to get there. While driving Shawn was constantly frowning at the situation he was in. Everything seemed unpleasant to him. He kept grumbling to himself in his mind. "What do you mean lucky? You said I'd be lucky if I used the result of the dice, right, system? Look at me now. Am I being lucky? All of a sudden I see people drowning to death. I had to dive into the lake at night to help him, and now I'm the one driving him to the hospital. Is this what you c
"Oh, no need to bother, Lord Darius. This isn't anything big." Shawn raised his hand to reject the offer from Darius and Alex. Shawn felt that it wasn't something to make a fuss about. After all, it is a normal response to help others who are in distress. Alex looked a little disappointed. "Don't say that, Mr. Shawn. You've done a great thing for us. Lord Darius could have been in a bad way if you hadn't helped him." Shawn kept shaking his head. "Never mind, Mr. Alex. Think of it as an act of humanity." Alex wrinkled his forehead. "No, Mr. Shawn. Your actions saved Lord Darius and me. There's no way I'm just going to stand by. At least allow me to do something for you." Shawn was a little surprised by what Alex said. That's too much for Shawn. "It's only right that we help others who are in trouble, right? Especially when it comes to lives. Lord Darius' hospital fees aren't that high anyway." Alex was silent, with his forehead wrinkled. He rarely found anyone who did such a s
Shawn glared after hearing that name from Alex. The name sounded familiar to him, but Shawn didn't really remember it either. He looked at the smiling old man. His appearance was messy, but after Shawn looked closely, Shawn realized something about Lord Darius from his face. "That face seems a little familiar. Where have I seen it before?"Shawn furrowed his brow, trying hard to remember this figure. Shawn was sure he had seen this person somewhere. Until finally Shawn remembered that Lord Darius' face had been seen in a business magazine he saw in a shop.Realizing that made Shawn distrustful of this situation. He opened his eyes wide while glancing at Alex. The man just smiled and nodded slowly. Then Shawn turned his gaze back to Lord Darius. The old man looked calm as he watched the confused Shawn.Shawn gulped down his own saliva. "So, you are Darius Hubert, the very rich man of Yihua?"Lord Darius just chuckled. He saw this as quite a funny incident. It turned out that the young
