Veronica stood up smiling and shook hands with Mike. Then, she immediately wiped the smile off her face.
Then they sat down.
Veronica said, "Mr Lawton, we don't know each other. Why are you willing to help me? What do you want?"
Mike smiled. "Miss Carter, I would like to take this opportunity to get to know you. Let's talk about what I want after we eat."
Veronica had to compromise.
The waiter poured a glass of wine for each of them. They chatted and savoured the wine.
Not long after, Veronica felt dizzy. She realised that she could not drink any more wine. "Mr Lawton, I've had all the wine. Now it's time for us to talk business. What do you want? I will do what you want as long as possible."
Mike said nothing. He considered how to deal with Veronica.
Veronica is very charming. The blush on her face made her look even more attractive.
Mike's eyes lit up, and his smile grew wider. "Miss Carter, you can do it. I want you t
"That voice, is that Bryce?" Veronica said to herself.She was ready to kill herself, but now she stopped and looked at the figure at the door with a dazed look.The figure was not tall, but at this moment, the figure seemed very extraordinary in her heart."It was you, you bastard. You still dare to bother me?"When Mike recognised Bryce, he furrowed his brow and shouted angrily at the guards outside the door with great annoyance, "Hey, aren't you doing anything? How could you let him in?"However, there was no movement whatsoever from outside the room.Mike's expression changed slightly. He suddenly thought of something and said, "They... what exactly happened? No, they didn't. There's no way. You're just a useless person. How could you possibly defeat them?"Bryce could have walked in here easily, but those guys didn't do anything to him, so something must have happened to them.However, Mike did not know how Bryce did it.
After listening to Veronica's story, Lexy kicked the table, stood up, took Veronica's hand, and said, "Come on, let's tell Finley. Let him do it for you."Veronica shook her head bitterly and said, "It's useless. Grandfather only cares about the family's interests. The Lawton Family is already stronger than our family. Grandpa won't get into trouble with the Lawton Family."Hearing that, Lexy suddenly felt sad. She bowed her head in despair.For Veronica's sake, Finley would not look for trouble for the Lawton Family. Should Veronica be hurt?"Besides, Bryce already defended me. He broke Mike's arms and legs," Veronica added.Lexy's eyes sparkled with surprise, and finally, she smiled. After a while, she said, "I didn't think my son-in-law could be useful. "This was the first time she praised Bryce.***It was late at night. Bryce walked out of the bedroom and towards the toilet but saw someone in the living room.Veron
Cory was nervous and unsure if Bryce would accept.Bryce nodded, took the card, and put it straight into the bag.Cory was overjoyed and said, "Master Milano, then I'll go.""Cort, let's have lunch together," David piped up."Sorry, David. I have some work to do. I'll see you next time."Cory's voice was excited, and he left without looking back."This child..."David shook his head.Bryce thought about it. Bryce knows Cory's intentions, but Bryce doesn't hate Cory because Cory cares about Tamara's family."David, where's Tamara?" Bryce asked."She's not at home. She would normally be busy working," David replied and sighed."I want to find Tamara first," Bryce said after a moment's thought."Alright, don't forget to come back for lunch." David nodded and said.Tamara opened a vegetable shop on the street when their economy was in a slump. While walking down the street, Bryce immediately finds
Cameron was also insulting with the look on his face.Cameron thought the person driving the pickup was certainly not of high status nor my match."I also brought a dozen people with me. How many people can a pickup car carry? Five, six at most? It's ridiculous."Meanwhile, the pickup was travelling slowly. The tyre was damaged or deflated, and the car's speed was very slow.The pickup took a minute to reach the crowd.The car door was opened. After a while, a man stepped out of the pickup. His face was flushed, and he took a deep breath.Then, the second person came out, followed by the third person... the ninth, and the tenth.The audience, which had been scornful, turned into shocked.How can a pickup truck carry so many people? It's too much.However, things did not stop there. More and more men came out of the pickup.The eleventh person, then the twelfth person...After two minutes, everyone in the pi
It was late at night when Bryce returned to visit the Carter Family. Bryce meets Veronica and Lexy at the door.A faint smile appeared on Veronica's face. It looks like Veronica is in a good mood.Bryce thought Veronica was happy because she had paid off the bank loan."Bryce, we're going for a walk. Would you like to go with us?" asked Veronica gently.Veronica felt that Bryce was not as intrusive as usual at that time. Therefore, Veronica invited Bryce to go for a walk together.Despite not saying anything, Lexy did not prevent Bryce from going with Veronica.Earlier, she would be the first to ban Bryce.Lexy felt ashamed walking next to Bryce, a useless man.Hearing Veronica's words, Bryce did not refuse. Bryce is not busy, so he follows Veronica and Lexy.Carter's house is at the foot of the hill. The neighbourhood around his house is very beautiful.The three of them walked along the path on the hill while enjoying the view.Suddenly, Lexy pointed towards some buildings on the hi
The next day, all three members of the Carter Family were having breakfast, and Veronica finished it early. As Veronica is about to leave for the company, a knock is on the door.Veronica opened the door and saw a man in fancy dress standing at the door."Anthony, why are you here?"Veronica looked unhappy and asked in shock.Anthony is the son of the Jaxon Family, a first-class family in Umbrella City.Anthony was once obsessed with Veronica, but Veronica had no feelings for Anthony, so Veronica rejected him.Veronica didn't know why Anthony had suddenly come to visit her."Veronica, I heard from Lexy that you almost had an accident two days ago, so I came to see you," Anthony said with concern.Although Veronica had rejected him, Anthony did not give up.Lexy had told Anthony that Bryce and Veronica were getting a divorce, so Anthony had noticed what was happening to Veronica.Yesterday, Anthony heard from Lexy
"Veronica, the Makmur Group wants to bring you down. I had no choice. We just wanted to make a living. Now, all the small and medium-sized enterprises in Umbrella City dare not cooperate with you," Mr Jackson replied bitterly and hung up."The Prosperous Group?" Veronica was shocked.It was a famous big company in Umbrella City, and the boss was Harold. His status was higher than that of a first-class family; he was from the second most influential family after the three famous families in Umbrella City.Veronica did not understand why Harold was against her. He had no way of dealing with such a person.Later, Veronica asked someone to get Harold's phone number and call him."Mr Corwin, nice to meet you. I'm Veronica. Why did you do that?" asked Veronica in a low voice."This is Veronica. It doesn't feel familiar to me when you call me that. We'll be a family in a month. You should call me uncle," Harold said with a smile on the phone.<
Bryce nodded and was about to hang up. However, Bryce paused and said, "Wait. Regarding what you owe me, I want you to help Veronica with her business problems."Bryce immediately remembered Veronica's problem.Bryce mused that this was a good time to ask the Mitchell family for the favour they owed me."Veronica?"Quinton tried to remember her name. Finally, Quinton remembered that Veronica was Bryce's wife.Quinton has been checking Bryce's background since the last time Bryce left. Quinton learnt that Bryce was the useless husband of the Carter Family.It was too trivial for Quinton to be surprised by that. "Bryce is a genius doctor. How can they call him useless?"Ultimately, Quinton convinced himself that Bryce was going through a life ordeal.Quinton thought Bryce would ask for something extraordinary in return for the favour. Bryce's simple request surprised Quinton greatly.Quinton took the opportunity and immediately agreed, "Of course, Doctor Milano. I won't let you down."*
