Chapter 61: Uncle Zhan

Tim Cronin was quite considerate, constantly helping her to blanch the vegetables and even peeling the shrimp for her, placing them in her bowl.The buck-toothed waitress who came to serve the dishes couldn't help but feel a bit envious. She said with a tinge of jealousy, "Sis, your boyfriend is so thoughtful. No wonder successful women these days prefer younger men."Before Juliet Wagner could deny it, Tim Cronin grinned widely, "Don't call her sis, she just looks mature."As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was off and quickly tried to correct himself, "I didn't mean you look old; what I meant is, you're not old at all."While he was digging himself deeper, Juliet Wagner had already downed a plate of black tripe. Clearly, she had violated the principle of eating small portions more frequently, but she consoled herself by thinking that you are what you eat. Cows have four stomachs, and if she grew four stomachs too, she would still have three left even if one we

Chapter 62: The Superiority Becomes Clear

Morgan Byron didn't ask any more questions. When Tim Cronin finally brought out his so-called milk tea after a lot of clattering, Morgan Byron stared at the few cups of dark liquid and asked Juliet Wagner, "Can your stomach handle tea?"Juliet Wagner, who didn't want to drink it anyway, immediately replied, "No, I don't think I can drink tea. Sorry, Tim Cronin, for making you work for nothing.""Then, Uncle Zhan, would you like to try it?" Tim Cronin held the milk tea up to Morgan Byron's nose with both hands.Even Juliet Wagner couldn't stand it anymore and corrected him, "Tim Cronin, he's my boss, not much older than you.""Oh? Is that so?" Tim Cronin looked very surprised, as if Morgan Byron appeared much older, like someone in their seventies or eighties.In fact, apart from always wearing a serious suit, Morgan Byron had a beautiful face. For a man to be described as beautiful, it must have been quite striking.The first time Juliet Wagner saw Morgan Byron, besides thinking

Chapter 63: She Seeks Her Brother

If they really wanted to get rid of Helen, they could have just had two bodyguards carry her away. But instead, they insisted on having Juliet Wagner deal with it.She guessed that Morgan Byron was trying to make her take the blame and help clear Helen's name.She changed her clothes in the room and followed The Driver out. On the way to the hospital, she hastily put on some makeup. After a good sleep, her complexion was much better, making it easier for her to apply makeup.When she arrived at the hospital, all the Byron family members were anxiously waiting outside the emergency room. Even the rarely seen Senior Mr. Byron was there. Despite his many faults, he was genuinely filial.The old lady was in the emergency room, and Senior Mr. Byron was so anxious he almost burst in. The nurses stopped him, and he vented his frustration on Morgan Byron."What exactly are you up to? You picked up that sickly girl from the hospital when you were young, and now you’ve brought in another on

Chapter 64: Educating His Son Behind Closed Doors

Upon hearing the voice on the phone, Senior Mrs. Byron trembled all over, as if struck by lightning.Juliet Wagner also recognized the voice.Morton Norris, nominally Senior Mrs. Byron's nephew, was actually her illegitimate son, Morton Norris!It turned out that the number Morgan Byron had given was not for Teresa Smith's brother, but for Morton Norris."Hello, Teresa Smith, say something! I told you to play the part of that dead ghost, not to act like a ghost all the time. Has your brain been eaten by a dog?"Senior Mrs. Byron finally understood, her face pale, and she gritted her teeth: "Morton Norris, get here right now!"The voice on the other end abruptly stopped, and after a few seconds, asked in surprise, "Aunt, Auntie?""I said, get here right now!"With a click, the call was disconnected.Senior Mrs. Byron, with a fierce demeanor, clutched the phone and headed towards the back staircase.Morton Norris was also in the hospital, but while everyone else was anxiously w

Chapter 65: A Ten Million Allowance

For Morgan Byron's request, Juliet Wagner couldn't say no.She could only say, "I guess the taste will be similar to that milk tea."Morgan Byron shrugged, indicating it didn't matter: "I can accept that taste too.""He probably didn't do it on purpose." Juliet Wagner inexplicably started defending Tim Cronin: "He's just a kid, a bit childish, but he's quite simple."Her words made Morgan Byron look at her, seemingly with a different opinion, but he didn't say anything, just smiled: "How did you two meet?""By chance. One time, I ran into Morton Norris on the road. He offered to give me a ride, but I made an excuse and called for a car. Just then, Tim Cronin was driving by, so I got in his car.""So that's how you connected?""Not exactly. The second time we met was also by coincidence." Juliet Wagner paused, unsure if she should mention the broken jade bracelet, but decided to: "He bumped into me, and the bracelet Senior Mrs. Byron gave me accidentally broke. He said he would c

Chapter 66: Let's Get Married

Juliet Wagner was still guessing whether he had run away because of guilt, but Morgan Byron had already pulled her towards the door."Where are we going?""The chef has run away, what are we going to eat? I'll take you out for a meal."Morgan Byron took her to a Western restaurant. Just as they sat down and before they could start ordering, Juliet Wagner saw Tim Cronin push open the glass door and walk in from outside.He looked around as he walked in. When he saw Juliet Wagner and Morgan Byron, he was stunned and stood there, a bit at a loss.Morgan Byron greeted him politely: "What a coincidence, are you looking for someone or coming for a meal? Shall we join you?""Oh no." Tim Cronin actually stuttered: "I, I'm looking for a friend, I have an appointment with a friend here.""It seems like he hasn't arrived yet?""Yes, yes." Tim Cronin, in a panic, didn't even say goodbye before turning around and running out of the Western restaurant.Morgan Byron took the menu from Juliet

Chapter 67: The Eternal Substitute

She should have desperately tried to make up for it, she should have immediately defended herself. Perhaps Morgan Byron was just acting on a whim, and if she lost this opportunity, she might never get another chance. But all she said was, "Mr. Byron, your change of heart is too drastic; I can't quite accept it." "I'll give you three days to think about it," he said. "Before the same time three days from now, I want to hear your answer." After he finished speaking, he looked at The Driver in the driver's seat, who was listening intently: "The Driver, are we there?" "We're here, we're here." The Driver had already parked the car downstairs at Juliet Wagner's place, not getting out or opening the door, but eavesdropping shamelessly. He hurriedly got out and opened the door. Juliet Wagner got out of the car, and Morgan Byron gentlemanly escorted her to the entrance of the building: "Do you need me to walk you up?" "No, thank you." "Change the password at home." "

Chapter 68: The Aura of a Grand Madame

Last night, Juliet Wagner had been out on the balcony in the cold wind for half the night. The next morning, she woke up feeling dizzy and unsteady, and to her surprise, she had caught a cold.In the past, her health was so good that she could have gone up the mountain to fight tigers. But recently, she kept falling ill one after another, for no apparent reason.She went to work sneezing, and during the short ten-minute walk, she used up two packs of tissues, her nose sore from all the wiping.So, unsurprisingly, she was late for work. In the three years she had worked at Guannan, she had never been late or left early; working overtime through the night was more common.Rushing into the lobby, she realized her employee ID card wasn't around her neck. She hurriedly rummaged through her bag, but the usually stern security captain, who seemed to be a relative of some high-ranking official, greeted her with a smile and directed her to a special entrance."Ms Wagner, this way, please."

Chapter 69: You Need a Home

As expected, Juliet Wagner was confronted by her mother and her siblings at the company's entrance when she got off work. Her mother, full of righteous indignation, said, "Juliet Wagner, as an unfilial daughter like you, aren't you afraid of divine retribution?""If you all haven't been punished by heaven yet, why should I be afraid?" Juliet Wagner walked past them, but her mother grabbed her arm. "Juliet Wagner, he is your father!""Aren't you his wife? One of these must be his child, right?" Juliet Wagner glanced at her siblings, who looked rather rough. "You don't care, so you're throwing them to me?""Juliet Wagner, you are so heartless! If you won't take care of it, I'll go to your boss!"Her mother often resorted to this tactic, knowing that Juliet Wagner feared losing face and having personal matters affect her work. Every time, Juliet Wagner would give in and pay to settle things. This time, Juliet Wagner remained unmoved. She even shook off her mother's grip and pointe

Chapter 70: Discussing Marriage Plans

Morgan Byron watched her enter the door but did not follow, only instructing her to rest well. At that moment, he seemed like a considerate lover. But Juliet Wagner knew that he did not love her. If their family backgrounds were equal, it wouldn't be surprising for Morgan Byron to marry her. However, with Juliet Wagner's family background, let alone aiming high, they were far from reaching the level of the Byron family. Given such a stark disparity in social status, why would Morgan Byron want to marry a woman who brought him no benefit and whom he didn't love? Or perhaps, he had seen through it all, realizing that he would never again have the real Helena Byron, so marrying anyone was the same to him. What about her, Juliet Wagner? Did it matter to her who she married?The next day was a weekend, and Juliet Wagner didn't need to get up early. She put her phone on silent and slept in. Morgan Byron was not the kind of person to bother her on weekends, whether for work or personal matte
