Janis paused, contemplating the company's leadership's decision. She had only just met Stephen, but she believed that the young master of the Hudson family had his own motives.Janis nodded and responded, "Very well, Master Stephen."After concluding their conversation, Janis bid farewell and exited the room.In the corridor, Billy Geoff greeted Janis, saying, "Hello, Miss Janis!" He offered a kind smile, but Janis responded with a cold expression."What do you want, Mr. Billy?"Billy tried to engage in conversation, disregarding Janis' unfriendly demeanor. "I'd like to discuss further cooperation between our companies."Janis spoke flatly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Billy. The Magnificent Emerald Group can no longer continue its partnership with your company."Billy stared at Janis in disbelief. He couldn't fathom what he was hearing. Their relationship had been amicable thus far. He also racked his brain, trying to recall if he had done anything to offend the company's owner, but he couldn't th
"Hello, Stephen?" Fiona asked, pressing him for an answer.In her heart, Fiona felt that Stephen's reluctance to help Billy was understandable since Billy had often done bad things to him. Moreover, Billy had recently set Fiona up for going out with Alex before going to college, which was quite annoying."Yes, I will look for him. You take it easy and go back to class," Stephen spoke calmly. Although he hated Billy, he despised seeing his wife begging and crying even more."You're serious?" Hope had returned to Fiona's voice, and she spoke with enthusiasm."Yes, of course," Stephen said firmly.After hanging up, Stephen remained silent for a moment, thinking of the potential reason for Billy's accident. He immediately suspected that Billy and Fiona had argued before the accident.Stephen muttered, "Poor Billy," Stephen reached for his cellphone and dialed his right-hand man.Said Stephen with a sigh, "Hello, William, I have a new assignment for you," "Yes, Young Master. I will do wha
Fiona was crying alone when her phone rang, startling her. Aiden's name appeared on the screen, and she immediately answered."Hello, Fiona! What's wrong? Why are you calling me so much?" asked Aiden, surprised by Fiona's unusual behavior."Get to Dr. Vernon Stone's hospital right away! Billy's been in an accident!" Fiona said, her voice trembling with fear.Aiden's eyes widened in disbelief. Billy was a skilled driver and always careful on the road, especially when driving his megacar."Don't joke, Fiona. Billy's a careful driver. Are you sure?" Aiden said."I'm not joking, Aiden. Get to the hospital now and tell Bryson too," Fiona said, her voice firm and convincing."Okay, I'm on my way," Aiden said before hanging up the phone.Fiona released a long, weary sigh and settled into a chair in the hospital corridor. Retrieving her smartphone, she opened the photo album and gazed at their wedding picture. It had been a modest ceremony, devoid of grand celebrations due to Stephen's limited
As Fiona watched her husband Stephen brush his hair in the mirror, she couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of his physique. It was as if she was seeing him for the first time, noticing the flawless posture and rippling muscles that he had always possessed. Today was Stephen's first day as an impromptu model, and Fiona was filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension."Are you sure you're feeling okay and ready for the photoshoot?" Fiona asked, her tone reflecting her concern.Stephen turned around to face his wife, his eyes sparkling with confidence. "Absolutely! Thanks to all the delicious and nutritious food you've been cooking for me, my stamina has come back tenfold."Fiona's heart swelled with pride at the compliment. She had always been passionate about cooking, and had even won several campus cooking championships, but hearing Stephen's praise was like winning the ultimate culinary accolade."Don't be ridiculous! You've been working at the restaurant for ages, and have ta
"Come on, Stephen!" Keyla grabbed Stephen's hand, pulling him away from Arthur before he could cause any trouble.Stephen looked at Keyla with surprise and confusion. But, she only smiled and raised her eyebrows in apology and desperation for his help. Stephen turned to Arthur, who was glaring at him like an angry bull. Stephen realized Arthur was jealous because Keyla was with him. It's fun to see the guy mad. But, what if Fiona saw Stephen together with Keyla? She must be mad too.After Arthur was nowhere to be seen, Stephen released Keyla's hand, and she blushed with embarrassment. It was the first time a man had rejected her."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so reckless. But..." Keyla trailed off, looking back at Arthur as if to explain why she didn't want to be near him."It's fine this time," Stephen said with a dry smile.Keyla lingered, not wanting to leave Stephen's presence just yet. "So, do you want to have lunch with me?" she asked hopefully."I'm sorry, Keyla. I can't have
After several days of being unconscious, Billy finally woke up from his coma, disoriented and confused. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the blurry faces of his family around him. His body felt heavy, and he could barely move, but he managed to give them a weak smile."Billy, thank goodness you've come to your senses! We were all worried about you!" said Aiden, the head of the Geoff family, with relief in his voice.Billy tried to remember what had happened, but his mind was foggy. All he could recall was the sound of metal crunching and the screeching of tires. And then, nothing.As his vision cleared, he noticed his family standing around him. He was grateful to see them all, but deep down, he was upset. His favorite luxury sports car had been badly damaged in the accident. He tried to hide his disappointment and put on a brave face."Thank you, without all of you I would have died!" Billy said, taking a deep breath."All this thanks to Fiona. Therefore you are saved from death," Br
"Sorry, Fiona. I have come late to see Billy," Stephen apologized as he stood in front of Fiona. He was about to invite her into the Billy's room."Perhaps another time. I was hoping to have lunch. Would you like to join me?" Fiona suggested, hoping to avoid any tension that could arise from her being in the same room as Alex and Stephen."Okay," Stephen agreed without hesitation.Before they left, Stephen noticed Alex's annoyance at seeing Fiona with him. He decided to hold Fiona's hand, hoping to calm her. Stephen thought, feeling the warmth of Fiona's hand in his."Don't tell me you're taking Fiona to a roadside stall," Alex sneered, feeling angry that Stephen had taken her away from him."Bastard! Wait for my revenge!" Alex fumed inwardly.As they walked down the corridor holding hands, Stephen asked, "Where do you want to eat?""It's up to you," Fiona replied, not wanting to burden him with her favorite elite restaurant."Okay, then I'll choose," Stephen said.They hailed a taxi a
Stephen's words brought a smile to Fiona's face. She had just realized that the blond man before her was wise. She ignored Juanita Mosley and continued her conversation with Stephen."Honey, what do you think of a man who legally robs his woman? Even though he already gets pleasure in bed, he still asks his woman to pay for his necessities of life!" Juanita's voice was clear to Fiona and Stephen.Juanita had assumed that Fiona would pay for a sumptuous lunch at the Magnificent Emarlad restaurant. Meanwhile, she considered Stephen a weak man who relied on his wife's wealth. The man in the black suit before Juanita smiled with authority. His handsomeness and charm captivated Juanita's heart, making her believe that she had found a better partner than Fiona."I think only bastards do stuff like that!" Fernando Avery said with a smug expression."You're right, honey! I'm grateful to have you! You're rich and handsome! It suits my fine taste!" Juanita glanced over at Fiona's table, but Fio
