LOGINThey went through all that trouble, only for this stubborn girl to have absolutely no intention of getting married.
Now, looking at Charlie, who was chatting in the small hut by the courtyard, both women felt a pang of sympathy.
This kid really had incredible patience, huh.
“Mom, Grandma, please don’t interfere. What’s between Charlie and me, we’ll communicate and handle ourselves,” Candice said.
Mary turned back around. “Darling
They went through all that trouble, only for this stubborn girl to have absolutely no intention of getting married.Now, looking at Charlie, who was chatting in the small hut by the courtyard, both women felt a pang of sympathy.This kid really had incredible patience, huh.“Mom, Grandma, please don’t interfere. What’s between Charlie and me, we’ll communicate and handle ourselves,” Candice said.Mary turned back around. “Darling, listen to your grandma for a moment. Don’t mess with Charlie. If you wear him out and he’s gone, you’ll regret it when it’s too late to cry.”Margaret also spoke sternly. “It’s come to this point, and now you’re saying you don’t want any outcome? What were you doing all this time before?”Candice couldn’t answer.She couldn’t possibly say that before, she had been blinded by desire, unable to resist Ch
Robert smiled, inviting Charlie to see his orchids.Even though these days had been anything but peaceful, moving from one place to another, he hadn't given up on his precious darlings. He took them with him wherever he stayed, especially the 'Plain Crown Lotus Tripod' orchid Charlie had gifted him."I'll go see Auntie first, then your orchids," Charlie said with a light smile."Oh, right, your Auntie is still waiting upstairs. I got so happy seeing you, I completely forgot," Robert muttered, a little embarrassed.Candice walked up to him, linking her arm through his. She whispered, "If Mom knew she was less important than your orchids, she'd pull out all your flowers tomorrow."Robert flinched. "Don't frame your old man! Your mom would actually do it."Candice chuckled. "I'm just messing with you. Those are your treasures; if they're gone, how will you show off to all those uncles?""Come on, let's go upstairs." She released her fath
“I’ve made up my mind.”Beatrice was incredibly serious.Her expression was as if she were about to carry a pack of explosives to blow up the Lawrence family…Denny felt a headache coming on.Candice: Oh no, I’ve caused trouble.She swore she’d only accidentally spoken her mind just now; she absolutely hadn’t encouraged or incited anything.Nicole got up and ran over.Originally, everyone thought she was going to persuade Beatrice, but the little girl opened her mouth, “Mommy, if you go, I’ll go too! We’ll go together to help sister-in-law, and our group will be called…”“Called a pain in the butt.”Before she could finish, Charlie’s hand landed on her forehead.Nicole clutched her forehead, instantly deflating.Ollie couldn’t help but say, “The two of you don’t even have a finger’s worth of h
Charlie's eyes flickered.He leaned back, a hint of mockery playing on his lips. "Modern medicine is so advanced, perhaps a miracle could still happen. Tell Uncle Abato not to despair too soon; maybe Gabrielle's fingers might just grow back.""..."Denny picked up the bookend from his desk and hurled it at his son. "How can you still be so flippant, you brat? When you call Uncle Abato later, don't you dare infuriate him like that!"Charlie offered no comment.Downstairs.In a private parlor, accessible only to family, Beatrice held Candice's hand affectionately as they chatted.Nicole and Ollie sat opposite them.Marlene was too swamped to make it back for dinner, so she wasn't present today."I heard from Jim that your mother injured her foot at your grandmother's place. You went back for the weekend, how is she doing?" Beatrice asked."Nothing major, just that she won't be able to put weight on it or move around
Morton: "..."Damn, anyone who didn't know would think he was on his deathbed!The moment Charlie left, sure enough, many people swarmed him, asking about his condition."Vice President, you can't delay with this illness.""Morton, work is never-ending, but if you're gone, everything else is gone too.""You must actively cooperate with treatment. Take leave with the Chairman, get the surgery if needed, take the medicine if needed.""..."Voices of concern were ceaseless.Morton's head was practically smoking from all the "warmth."In the elevator."Do you have a grudge against Morton?"In the quiet atmosphere, a voice abruptly appeared beside Candice.Yes, it was Ollie who spoke.Candice turned her head, blinking her large eyes, her expression innocent. "No, we have a great relationship. Ollie, why would you think that?"Ollie: ...You're kidding, right?"What did you say in Morto
Charlie's clear, magnetic voice drifted over.The trio: "..."Candice and Jerry turned around.Ollie lifted his gaze."I was talking about you two," Charlie's peach blossom eyes swept coldly over Ollie and Jerry. "Come in with me."Having said that, his gaze shifted to Candice. The chilly glint from a moment ago instantly softened, his voice mellowing by ten degrees. "Don't mind them, go sit and rest in the office."The blatant favoritism was practically blinding.Ollie sneered, a disdainful tug at his lips.Candice felt a little awkward. "I haven't officially resigned yet. I'll go too."Charlie indulged her.Inside the CEO's office, he sat down in his chair and said to Ollie in a business-like manner, "You'll be handing over work with Miss Hale later. If you don't understand anything, ask Jerry. If he can't handle it, then come to me."Ollie disliked his condescending tone.He wanted to lash out, bu
“Okay, I’ll come over now.”Mike agreed.The family’s hatred for the Jackson family, especially for Kyle, had grown to the point of fury. They believed that all these troubles started after his younger sister got involved with Kyle.But back then, it was his sister who had actively pursued Kyle. To
On the phone screen.After the chairman’s wife and the others entered, the camera should have caught her and Sophia too—but they were gone.It wasn’t just deleted; it was wiped out!Candice stared in disbelief.She almost doubted if this was a dream.A chill ran down her neck...Charlie also noticed
He circled her waist from behind.The lingering scent of his shower mixed with the warmth, making her head spin.A tingling sensation spread from her ear down her body, and her pink toes instinctively curled up.Early morning! Broad daylight!Could he please stop tempting her like this?"You... you
"……!"Candice felt a wave of despair wash over her.It was fate.It had to be fate. The heavens seemed to delight in watching her life unravel like a drama.Nicole was completely confused. She had been sent by her father to find her mother. When she heard
