《Marry You Like A Thief》


 Chapter 1 A Blind Date During The Daytime

    Chapter 1 A Blind Date During The Daytime


    The city lights were brighter than the stars above them, especially in an international metropolis like H


    City.


    In a presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel.


    Soothing music echoed across therge room. The moonlight sprinkled across the king-sized bed


    through a floor-to-ceiling windows.


    Vivien Pei felt like she was floating in dream-like clouds. It was something she had never felt before.


    She never had such an experience.


    Although it was just a dream, she could feel everything happening around her. It was as if it had


    actually happened. Strange.


    Vivian Pei slowly opened her eyes in confusion as she thought back to what had happened.

    Before Jeffrey Shen could speak, Vivian Pei quickly interrupted him,


    "I can''t believe this! I thought you were nice when we had our blind date. I must''ve been on drugs!"


    Vivian Pei was the eldest daughter of the Pei Family. Normally, she wouldn''t usually go on blind dates,


    but this was considered an exception. The Pei Group had been suffering from financial difficulties


    recently. Now, they needed a sum of money to get them out of their predicament. She had no choice


    but to follow her father''s wishes in going on a blind date.


    Her blind date was none other than Jeffrey Shen, the eldest son of the most powerful family in the city.


    "There must''ve been some misunderstanding."


    During their blind date, he actually had a good time with Vivian Pei. Being a traveling reporter, she had


    traveled almost all over the globe. She had so many stories hidden in that little head of hers, and she


    was also extremely funny. Not only was she an avid talker, but she was also smart. She could give him


    an advice or two about hispany. That was for sure.


    If things had gone out like the way it was, they would''ve been married in a span of two months.


    But now, everything had changed.


    She had slept with him!


    "How could you, Jeffrey? It seems that I was wrong about you!" she sputtered out, not really knowing


    what else to say.


    He frowned when she stood up from bed.


    He didn''t expect that things would turn out the way it did.


    It was Riley Zheng. She handed him that ss of wind and told him that Vivian Pei was upstairs. She


    had also added how the woman had been satisfied with their date. Then Jeffrey Shen had gone up


    there with good intentions.


    It seemed that Riley Zheng had lied to him.


    "You''re so screwed, Riley,"


    Jeffrey murmured. His face was as cold as ice.


    He wouldn''t allow anyone to hurt Vivian Pei. In fact, he wouldn''t allow anyone toy a hand on the Pei


    Family.


    After changing her clothes, she shot him a re.


    At the sight of her cold gaze, Jeffrey Shen had something bad stirred in his stomach.


    "Vivian, let me exin!"


    He stood up. Her eyes gleamed with unshed tears, but she wasn''t going to cry in front of him. She


    wouldn''t dare.


    "Let me make this clear. I would never marry you! I would rather die alone in this world than be tied to


    you. I don''t want to see you again!"


    After saying that, she turned on her heel and strutted out of the room.


    His heart ached at her words. Before Vivian could leave, Jeffrey grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.


    "Before I went upstairs, Riley gave me a ss of wine and..."


    "Jeffrey! You have the guts to do what you did, but you don''t even want to admit what you''ve done? Do


    you really want to me Riley? Are you even a man?"


    She struggled under his grip, snarling,


    "Let me go! Maybe then, I''ll remember one good thing about you."


    Hearing this, the man loosened his grip.


    She stared at him helplessly.


    Putting aside what had happened between them, Vivian had to admit that the guy was incredibly


    handsome. But after what he did, there was no way she was going to forgive him.


    "We''ll talk about thister."


    After giving him a hard kick, she stalked out of the room.


    It was not until she returned home did she finally cry. The tears that she held back for so long rushed


    down her cheeks as she sniffled.


    Fortunately, it was alreadyte at night, and all the servants had gone to bed.


    Although she didn''t believe Jeffrey''s words, Vivian still wanted to ask her sister why the man was in her


    room.


    In order not to wake anyone up, she tiptoed up the third floor and towards her sister''s room.


    The door was already ajar. But before she could knock, her sister''s voice echoed out the corridor.


    Vivian froze.


    "Vivian and I are daughters of the Pei Family, but why do I have to be Zheng? It''s not like I''m uglier


    than her. Hell, I''m in much better shape than that bitch. But as long as she''s here, it''s as if no one


    wanted to pay attention to me," she snarled. "They would forever see me as some daughter of one of


    his mistresses. I hate her! Mom, you''re already the official wife now, right? Yet everyone still thinks of


    her as the real daughter of the Pei Family. It''s ridiculous!"


    Kelly Zheng, or Mrs. Pei, felt heartbroken when she heard her daughter''s words. Her beautiful face was


    distorted into one that was simr to a fire-breathing beast.


    Suddenly, a vicious smile slipped into her lips. "Don''t worry. If I could get rid of ire, then Vivian''s


    going to be a piece of cake. You won''t be seeing her once I''m done."


    With a sly smile, Riley snorted. "Right? Did she really think that she could hook up with Jeffrey? Do you


    think I could let go of her that easily? After what would happen tonight, he wouldn''t even look at her.


    He''d just think of that bitch as someone we''d exchange for money. Who would fall in love with such a


    cheap thing?"


    Kelly Zheng nodded in approval. "The Shen Family is not just any ordinary family. If they know that


    Vivian and Jeffrey shared a bed before marriage, he would definitely reject the marriage."


    "Exactly!"


    Hearing their conversation, Vivian couldn''t take it anymore.


    She pushed the door open. "How could you do this to me?" she demanded. "What the hell did I do to


    make you hate me this much?"


    Kelly hurriedly stood up. Her smug face immediately turned to one filled with sadness and innocence.


    "Vivian, it''s not what you think-"


    "Cut the act, Mom. You don''t need to exin it to her." Riley waved her hand


    before strutting up to her so-called ''sister''. She had to admit that Vivian was a true beauty. Vivian had a


    small oval face with delicate features that heightened her bright eyes. However, there was something


    about her that made Riley want to cut her face.


    "Well? What if we did set you up? What do you care? Aren''t you a daughter of the Pei Family?


    Shouldn''t you do something to help us? As long as you have sex, then Jeffrey would give everything to


    us."


    Vivian clenched her fists. "And driving my brother away? Did you also do that for the sake of the Pei


    Family?"


    "You shouldn''t say such awful things..." Kelly covered her mouth. "It was the servant who lost him. We


    have nothing to do with it."


    "Drop the act. I''ve heard what you just said," Vivian snapped.


    The old woman smiled innocently. "You must''ve heard it wrong. How could I have done such a thing?


    I''ve always treated you like my own children."


    "I never knew that you''d sell your children like they''re objects," Vivian snarled.


    It was then when she saw their true colors. It seemed that they weren''t good as she had thought. They


    were actually hiding their disgusting and hideous souls.


    "It''ste at night. Why are you so noisy?" Albert Pei walked over, wondering what the noise was all


    about. "Why are you being so thoughtless? Kelly was just thinking about your date, and you treat her


    like this? Apologize to her!"


    "Dad! Don''t let them convince you. They were nning to sell me!" Vivian eximed, pointing at them.


    "In fact, they set me up to have sex with Jeffrey."


    "Albert, Vivian just didn''t want to go to her date, so she came back with a bad temper," Kelly murmured


    innocently, making a long face. "Don''t yell at her. Just let her vent her anger at me. Maybe she''ll better."


    "Do you hear that? Do you see how nice your stepmother is?"


    Vivian clenched her fists. "Dad, why can''t you stop being so oblivious? Do you even see what that


    woman is doing to you? She already tried to sell me. In fact, she''s also the one who lost my brother,


    your son! She even said it herself!"


    Albert Pei pointed at her. His hand was trembling. "You-You..."


    Suddenly, he slumped back and lost consciousness.


    "Albert!" Kelly rushed towards him as her arms iled in different directions.


    "Vivian! How dare you?" she shrieked. "Riley, go and call an ambnce."

    Chapter 2 Farewell To The Old Lover


    "Doctor, how''s my father? Is he still critical?"


    As soon as the doctor came out of the emergency room, Vivian rushed to him anxiously. The vicious


    mother and daughter couldn''t help but gaze at him questioningly as well. The doctor waved his hand up


    in the air, indicating that they should let him speak. Once it was silent, he started,


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    "Mr. Pei had a stroke. Fortunately, he was sent just in time, so he''s not in critical condition now. You


    must be careful in the future. Strokes can get worse over time."


    "Thank you, doctor. We''ll be careful," Riley said politely, even if her insides were shaken up after her


    father''s copse.


    Vivian stared at the resuscitation room and said nothing.


    She knew that her father had been worrying about the Pei Group, and at this point, she knew for a fact


    that the financial difficulties they had to ovee was incrediblyrge. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have


    wanted to marry her off.


    She didn''t expect that the fight would cause his stroke. Her heart was filled with guilt.


    The nurse pushed the unconscious Mr. Pei into the VIP ward. He waster followed by Vivian, Kelly,


    and Riley.


    After entering the ward, Riley quickly stopped Vivian outside the bedroom. She sneered,


    "You don''t deserve to see Dad. If it hadn''t been for your brashness, he wouldn''t have had a stroke!"


    "Get out of my way. I just want to see him."


    Vivian was in no mood to quarrel with her, but as much as she tried to convince her, Riley still refused


    to budge. Her mocking re was enough to tell Vivian that she was never going to budge as long as


    she was there.


    "You''re feeling sorry for him after you''ve caused his stroke?" Riley snorted. "Don''t pretend to be so


    innocent."


    "You know that your father has been so stressed with what''s happening over the Pei Group, and you


    still went ahead to make him this mad. Are you trying to kill him?" Of course, Kelly was going to use


    this opportunity to me her.


    Vivian gritted her teeth. They were the ones who caused the fight. Why did they make it seem as if


    nothing had happened?


    When did she be the cause of her father''s copse?


    However, it only made her understand one thing. Her stepmother and stepsister had only pretended to


    be nice to her before, and the loss of her brother must''ve something to do with them. She was sure of


    it.


    "Well, since we''re already here, we might as well make it clear. You were the ones who made my


    brother disappear so that Alex remains as the only son of the Pei Family. You want him to inherit the


    fortune of the Pei Family, right?"


    Kelly was flustered after hearing her words. Before she could say anything, Riley snapped,


    "You think you''re so smart in thinking this, but you still need to find evidence for that. Do you? If you


    don''t have any evidence right now, then I suggest you don''t speak. Otherwise, we''re going to sue you."


    "Riley, we''re a family. How could we go to court? Consider your sister''s feelings,"


    Kelly said guiltily. Honestly, she didn''t want to make this a big deal, so she held her daughter back.


    However, Riley was unafraid as she stepped forward.


    "What you said is nonsense. But do you know what''s real? Dad was hospitalized because of you!"


    "Because of Vivian? What the hell is going on?"


    Alex Pei had just arrived at the hospital ward, and he couldn''t help but overhear Riley''s words.


    "Alex, listen to me. It''s not like that..."


    "Vivian, Dad''s in the hospital now. What else do you want to say? I know you''re not satisfied with the


    arrangement, but it''s the only thing that could keep this afloat. Vivian, you''ve gone too far!"


    Hearing her own beloved brother say that, Vivian stared at him in disbelief. Although they weren''t born


    of the same mother, she had always regarded him as her real brother.


    She couldn''t believe that he would automatically side with them without even bothering to hear her


    exnation.


    "Alex, I''m not angry with Dad¨C"


    "Vivian, I know that you don''t like my sister and mother''s proposal to let you go on a date, but you can''t


    vent your anger on Dad because of this. She may not be your biological mother, but she loved and


    protected you all these years. How could you have done this?"


    Alex Pei rushed out angrily, not even bothering to hear Vivian out.


    Staring at his retreating figure and the smug faces of Riley and Kelly, she knew for a fact that she


    couldn''t enter the ward today. She might as well go home and cook up a bowl of porridge for her father


    than be bullied like this.


    Shaking her head helplessly, she left without saying another word.


    "I... I don''t know how he''s going to be after this."


    No matter how hard she tried to set Albert''s wife and daughter up, Kelly still loved him. It was


    impossible for her to stay indifferent towards his health.


    "Don''t worry, Mom. As long as you pay more attention, Dad will recover soon,"


    Rileyforted her innocently.


    However, Kelly still wasn''t soothed. Instead, she leaned against the sofa and sighed.


    "After nning Adam''s disappearance and seeing how he loves the both of you, I always felt a little¨C"


    "Mom, stop it! Don''t mention it again. You have to think that none of it leads back to you. Do you want


    to get us killed?"


    Riley sighed, hating how her mother had always been so softhearted. It seemed that at every bad thing


    she had done, she would always feel guilty about it afterward. At this point, she should know that there


    was no turning back. She was either evil or she would die a useless death.


    "Well, I just wanted to talk..." At the thought of losing everything, Kelly sighed and held herself together.


    She had already sacrificed so much to be here today, and she wasn''t going to lose one bit.


    "Fine, let''s stop talking about it. Anyways, how''s Jay Du? Is he reliable? Do you think he''ll be able to


    follow you?" Kelly decided to change the topic.


    "Don''t worry about it, Mom. I''ll have a way to make him obedient to me."


    Riley was smug. Not only did she liked this man, but she also stole him from Vivian''s grasp. Now,


    Vivian''s Prince Charming was her fiance. That obviously meant that she was more beautiful than that


    bitch.


    "Now that you''ve got Jay and Vivian had slept with Jeffrey, her life would be ruined. Now, you and Alex


    are the only ones left in this family. s, as long as the two of you remain good, I''ll do anything to keep


    it that way."


    Suddenly, the door was swung open. It was Alex Pei.


    Alex Pei stared at the two people sitting in the room. He gritted his teeth.


    "Are you telling the truth?" he demanded.


    Kelly scrambled up as she waved her hands helplessly. "Honey, you should know that I did all of this for


    you."


    "How could you have done that? Vivian''s my sister! She''s supposed to be your daughter! If Dad finds


    out about this... You make me sick!"


    After saying that, he rushed out of the ward without turning back.


    Kelly was about to chase after him, but Riley held her back.


    "Mom, leave him alone. He''s a lost cause. You know how close he is to Vivian ever since they were


    kids," she sneered.


    Kelly sighed. "Give him time then. I''m sure he''ll understand."


    She decided to go back to the bedroom and stand beside Albert''s bed. Not wanting to go in, Riley


    yed with her phone.


    Suddenly, someone called her.


    Riley picked it up. After hearing what the other person had said, she paled almost immediately.


    "Mom!" she shrieked. "Alex! It''s Alex...he..."


    "What? What happened to Alex?"


    Kelly rushed out of the bedroom and held Riley''s arms. She was frozen into ce as if somebody had


    ced her into the freezer before pulling her out.


    "Alex was hit by a car," Riley stuttered out, shaking. "He''s been sent to the hospital."


    "What?" Kelly''s eyes widened. "No. I want to see him! Stay and apany your father and¨C"


    "Mom, I''ll go. What''s more, if Dad wakes up, you can tell him that Alex was hit because he tried to


    chase after Vivian. Do you understand?"


    Riley hurried out with her bag, leaving Kelly alone with Albert. She nodded in a daze.


    The next morning, Vivian came to see her father with the bird''s nest porridge she had cooked for him.


    However, as soon as she opened the door, a tea cup flung towards her.


    "How dare you? You brat! What the hell are you doing here? If anything happens to your brother, I


    would never forgive you!"


    Albert red at his daughter.


    "Alex? What happened?"


    Vivian furrowed her eyebrows, not understanding why his father was so angry.


    Kelly sighed. "When you stormed off, Alex tried chasing you because he was afraid that something


    could happen to you. As he was crossing the road, he was hit by a car. I¨CI didn''t want to tell you these


    things. It''s all my fault."


    "How could he have chased me? That''s impossible!" Vivian sputtered out. "When I left yesterday, Alex


    was¨C"


    "That''s enough of that. Don''t say anything more." Albert rubbed his forehead tiredly. "I''ve already asked


    Jay to arrange for your trip abroad. As of this point, you should focus on your studies."


    "But, Dad, this really has nothing to do with¨C"


    "Enough! You brat! After what you''ve done, you have the nerve to refuse? Get out and do as I say!"


    Seeing her father''s cold attitude, Vivian slouched in defeat. She ced her lunch box on the table and


    left without saying another word.


    Eight dayster, she was already in the airport, waiting for her flight.


    "I didn''t hurt my father or Alex. Do you believe me?"


    Vivian stared at Jay Du with expectation gleaming in her eyes, but he simply avoided her gaze. He


    crossed his arms and stared at the signage.


    "Look, your father had only asked you to go on a blind date because of the circumstances with the


    "Let''s just sit down and get some rest." Vivian couldn''t help but burst intoughter as she looked into


    his eyes. His words were like knives piercing through her heart.


    As she stared at the man she had fallen in love with for so many years, she couldn''t help but feel


    disgusted. She sneered. It seemed that her stepsister had really taken it all.


    "Are you saying this because you''re with Riley now?" she snapped.


    "Don''t be ridiculous. I''m only talking about the facts. As his junior, I could only respect your father''s


    decision,"


    Jay stated as if he was talking to another one of his co-workers. There was no affection embedded in


    his gaze.


    With a snort, Vivian turned away. She wasn''t going to give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry.


    Jeffrey had arrived at the airport hurriedly. Upon seeing this scene, he couldn''t help but sneer.


    "What an emotional scene," he said snidely. "It seemed that I came at a bad time."

    Chapter 3 She Is Pregnant (Part One)


    "Jeffrey, none of this is any of your business."


    Vivian red at him spitefully. If looks could kill, there would''ve beenser shooting out of her eyes.


    Jeffrey felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he shrugged indifferently as he shoved his hands into his


    trouser pockets. He stared into her watery eyes.


    "Don''t worry. All of this is purely coincidence. I just happened to see you, so I came by to say hello."


    She bit back her harshughter. "Well, I have no need of your fake courtesy. At this point, the only good


    thing about this is that I never have to see you again!" she snapped.


    "Vivian!" Jay nced warily at the man before him. He tugged the hem of her sleeves, wanting nothing


    more than to tape her mouth. "What the hell are you saying? Shut up!"


    However, Jeffrey didn''t seem all too bothered by her demeanor. He looked at her as if he was gazing at


    another employee. At one look at his hardened gaze, anyone could tell why he was one of the most


    powerful man in the city. "It''s no big deal. You can tell that she''s just flirting with me. Am I right,


    sweetheart?"


    Vivian snorted in disbelief as she turned away from him.


    Jay was just about to say something to ease their temper when his phone rang.


    He answered it only to hear his fiance''s billowing voice. "Why the hell are you still with that bitch?


    Come back now."


    "Why?"


    Jay nced at Vivian subconsciously before frowning.


    "Nothing special... I miss you! Dad and Mom are already waiting for you back home."


    "Fine, I''ll be right there." Jay sighed, hanging up the phone. He turned to Vivian.


    "Don''t give me such a hard time, okay?


    Listen to your father and go abroad." She scoffed incredulously. "So you really don''t believe me?"


    Her voice wasced with disbelief and disgust. She couldn''t believe that he would choose Riley over


    her. Even then, she knew for a fact that there must''ve been some reason behind his choice. Even if her


    former lover became her brother-inw, she couldn''t find it in herself to hate him. They were just


    victims of Riley''s sick game.


    "Look, it doesn''t matter if I believe you or not. Right now, you have to go." Jay nced at Jeffrey. "Do


    you have anything else you want to say?"


    "What do you think?"


    Jeffrey snickered. It was obvious that he wasn''t going anywhere until he got to talk to Vivian.


    Vivian tilted her head, not bothering to look at either of them.


    "Just don''t miss your flight, okay? It''s scheduled at 11. Shoot me a message when you get there."


    Without another word, Jay left her behind. It seemed that their own love story had ended there.


    Now that they were alone, Jeffrey gazed at her. "Do you really want to listen to them, Vivian?" he


    demanded. The mockery in his eyes had disappeared.


    "We''re not that close." She huffed. "I suggest you don''t call me by my name."


    "Not close? Are you sure about that? Is that how you define all the men who have seen you naked?"


    Jeffrey knew exactly what had happened to her in the past few days, so he wasn''t surprised to see that


    Vivian was going to be sent abroad.


    "Well, I don''t have the time to talk to you. Good bye."


    Vivian pulled her suitcase and was just about to leave when he grabbed her wrist. Jeffrey pulled her


    aside to avoid therge groups of people.


    "Are you really going to leave like this? Don''t you want to know what happened with your brother''s


    disappearance? Are you really going to give up when ites to your stepmother and stepsister?"


    he demanded. His eyes were aze with rage.


    "Well? What the hell do you want me to do?" She threw her arms around exasperatedly.


    "Look, you have to know that I was set up that night."


    "Instead of clearing your name, you might as well say something of use to me."


    Besides, she already knew the truth. The thought of them actually having the guts to hurt her like this


    made her heart ache. She never thought that they would be capable of all of this, yet here she was,


    tasting the result of their viciousness.


    "Kelly must''ve something to do with your brother''s disappearance. Not only that, but she also med


    you for Alex''s car ident. What''s more, Riley even stole your boyfriend. Are you going to let them get


    away with it?"


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Vivian crossed her arms. "Even then, it still has nothing to do with you."


    Jeffrey continued despite her incessant refusals. "Well? What about your mother''s death? Don''t you


    want to know what happened to her?"


    Vivian froze, and her heart skipped a beat. After recalling what her stepmother had said regarding her


    mother, she could feel her hands start to shake. "And how are you going to help me?"


    "Be my wife," he stated. "And I''ll help you."


    Vivian sneered. Was he serious? Did he really think all of this was some sort of game he could


    participate in? Without saying a word, she stomped away. She might as well head off to board the


    ne.


    Seeing the expression on her face, his face fell just a bit. However, he still chased after her.


    "Just get in the car and head back to the hotel," he stated. "Don''t go."


    "And why would I?"


    "We''ll be watching a show two dayster."


    Seeing that Jeffrey wouldn''t allow for any sort of negotiation, Vivian decided to get in his car. At the


    sight of his satisfied look, she decided to turn around and gaze at the window.


    Her mother had passed away. Her brother had gone missing. Alex got into a car ident. Although


    they didn''t seem to have anything to do with each other, there seemed to be a fine line that connected


    them all. Kelly and Riley.


    Vivian clenched her fists. It couldn''t be. ''Are they really capable of such a thing?'' she thought.


    Although she wasn''t sure about many things, she was a hundred percent sure that Jay didn''t just


    change his mind right off the bat. He loved her. He wouldn''t just leave her for Riley without a reason of


    his own.


    Two dayster, at eight o''clock in the evening,


    The Pei''s mansion was bright. In fact, the ce was already bustling with hundreds of guests as the


    lively music echoed down the hillside.


    "Mr. Pei, congrattions! Jay is a fine man to have as a son-inw!" one of them congratted.


    "Congrattions!" "Thank you all!"


    Albert was so ecstatic that he had forgotten about his second daughter.


    "Have a good time tonight."


    Holding her fiance''s arm, Riley stood behind her father. A small smile slid into her lips as she raised her


    ss to express her gratitude to all the people who decided toe.


    However, Jay didn''t look anywhere near happy.


    "It''s our engagement," she murmured.


    "The least you can do is be happy." Jay simply sneered in reply. Even the bright lights reflected on the


    chandelier couldn''t alleviate the darkness in his eyes.


    However, Riley didn''t get angry. Instead, she simply smiled.


    "Look, I made a mistake, okay? But I only did it because I love you," she insisted. "That''s why I did it.


    After all, I wanted to marry you."

 Chapter 5 Being Kidnapped After Returning Home

    Chapter 5 Being Kidnapped After Returning Home


    Six yearster, at the exit of the airport of the H City.


    A woman with short hair, ck jumpsuit and delicate face wore a big ck sunss, which covered


    half of her palm sized face. She walked quickly to the side of the road.


    Standing at the taxi stop, Vivian looked up at the sky in the H City. It had been six years, but the sky


    was still so familiar


    Sure enough, no matter how many views she had seen, the most beautiful ce was still her


    hometown.


    Albert''s health was getting worse and worse recently. After all, he was her biological father. Even if he


    was ruthless to her, she couldn''t be unfilial.


    She was still worried about him.


    ''Vivian, why are you so soft hearted.


    I came back from a long distance. Is he willing to see you?''


    A bitter smile appeared on her face. Forget it I had tried my best. It was her filial piety toe back.


    Whether he admitted it or not was depend on her father''s conscience.


    "Vivian, right?"


    "You are..."


    "Nice to meet you. We are the staff of Benevolent Sanatorium. Mr. Pei sent us to pick you up."


    "A sanatorium?"


    Vivian looked at the man carefully through her sunsses.


    The man didn''t mind, but politely handed over the I.D. badge.


    "In the past two years, He has been staying in the Benevolent Sanatorium for recuperation. The


    environment here is very good, which is conducive to his recovery."


    After Vivian checked his I.D. badge carefully, the man''s phone suddenly rang.


    "Yes, yes I have already met her. You don''t need to worry. Okay, please wait a moment..."


    "Miss Pei, your father wants to talk to you."


    Vivian took the phone with doubt.


    "Vivian You finally came back." The voice on the other end of the line was very weak. "Come with them.


    Dad is waiting for you in the sanatorium."


    "Hurry up..."


    Before Vivian could say anything, the phone was hung up. He sounded very weak.


    "Okay, thank you." Smiling, Vivian returned the ID card and the phone to the man.


    "It''s not troublesome. It''s my job." The man took her luggage enthusiastically, led Vivian to the parking


    lot and got on a ck Honda.


    The car started. Vivian took off her sunsses and looked out of the window. Everything was familiar


    and strange to her. She felt bad.


    "Miss Pei, are you tired? Just rest assured. I will wake you up when we arrive."


    "Ok, thank you."


    Although Vivian replied, she was not sleepy and kept looking out of the window.


    The surroundings became more and more deste, and Vivian had a bad feeling.


    "How long will it take for us to get there?"


    "In less than ten minutes. Don''t worry."


    The man answered and sped up.


    Vivian felt something was wrong. She quietly moved to the door and nced at the man vigntly.


    When he was not paying attention, she opened the door and jumped out of the car!


    The man turned around in a hurry and the reporters went after Vivian.


    He roll down the window of the car and said, "Come out guys..."


    Then, several men ran out of an abandoned factory not far away.


    Vivian was running on the grass under the road. There was a guardrail, so the car couldn''t catch up


    with her, but those men could easily catch up with her. Even though she tried her best to run, she was


    caught back.


    "Who the hell are you? What do you want to do with me?"


    "I''m sorry, Miss Pei! We only want money. So as long as you cooperate and help us get the money, we


    will let you go."


    One of them said. After saying that, he dragged Vivian into the warehouse with other people.


    Knowing that she was no match for them and couldn''t escape, Vivian calmed down instead. She


    stopped struggling and just calmly thought of a solution.


    In the hall at the exit of the airport, Jeffrey looked calm, but he was already very anxious.


    But after several flights, he still didn''t see the woman he had been worried about for many years.


    Yesterday, he received a secret message from his daughter that her mother woulde back today.


    So she came here early in the morning.


    He took out his phone and dialed an international call. "Ruby, are you kidding me?"


    "Of course not..."


    "But I''ve been here for a long time. I haven''t seen your mommy yet!"


    "Daddy It must be your fault. Anyway, Mommy should have got off the ne now. You must make sure


    that she got home safe!"


    "Okay, I''ll have someone look into it."


    "Good luck, Daddy Love you¡­¡­ bye¡­¡­"


    Jeffrey smiled happily, as if he could see the cute girl.


    Ruby Shen, this was the name given by Vivian in order to honour her brother. Ruby was a smart girl!


    She called John, "Check this for me. The ne will take off at half past ten. The passenger name is


    Vivian. Check if there is anything wrong with her."


    John, the underground emperor, was more useful than the police. Although Jeffrey had asked someone


    to investigate, he was still waiting at the airport.


    At this time, in an abandoned factory.


    Vivian''s hands and feet were tightly tied to the chair. Riley was also kidnapped with her. The man who


    picked her up at the airport was sitting cross legged on the chair opposite them. He took the cigarette


    from his subordinate.


    "With the help of these two daughters of the Pei Family, we may make a big fortune this time!"


    "It''s all your good idea! Chuck!"


    "Humph Except for Albert''s son who was in a vegetative state, he only had two daughters. I don''t


    believe that he can''t give up the money now!"


    Hearing the word "vegetative", Vivian looked at Riley in surprise.


    Just then, Riley also looked at her with resentment.


    "What What does he mean by vegetative?"


    "It''s all because of you! Vivian! You really should go to hell! Go to hell! If it weren''t for you, how could


    Alex have a car ident! Go to hell!"


    In fact, six years ago, when Alex rushed out to have a car ident, his condition was stable at the


    beginning. But on the night before Riley''s engagement, he fell down and the wound got worse and


    infected. He was rescued in time, but he was still in aa. The doctor said that it was almost


    impossible for her to wake up since her brain was damaged.


    Therefore, the two of them hated Vivian very much, and Albert was very disappointed in his two


    daughters. That was why he drove her out of the house at the engagement party that night.


    "This and I..."


    "Enough! Do you think I kidnapped you for chit chat?" Hurry up! Do as I say!"


    As Chuck spoke, he put the phone between Riley and Vivian.


    "Hello Who is that? Please speak."


    "Mr. Pei I have your two precious daughters! One hundred thousand dors was enough to keep them


    alive. Besides, you should know that you can''t call the police. Otherwise, you will only receive their


    dead bodies."


    Without giving Albert a chance to say anything, he hung up the phone.


    Vivian was in no mood to think about anything else. All she could think about was Alex. Alex went into


    a vegetative state. Although it was not her responsibility, Alex was her brother after all.


    In Jay''s office.


    Albert smashed his phone on the table!


    He angrily looked at Jay and Kelly who was crying nonstop.


    "Why are you crying? What else can you do except crying? If you didn''t show off your daughter every


    day, how could she be targeted? "


    "Albert, I..."


    "Dad, we shouldn''t be busy with holding ountable now. We should find a way to save Riley."


    Jay recalled what Chuck had said about "Two daughters" ''Vivian is back?


    But Albert didn''t say anything, so he couldn''t ask.


    Kelly, who didn''t wipe her tears, chuckled to herself. ''you''re finally back, Vivian. It seems that my news


    is right.''


    She overheard the conversation between Albert and thewyer and knew that he had given most of the


    What Riley said was right. She believed too much in the love between Albert and her, she was too


    emotional. What was the result? She was still the daughter of his legal wife?


    Alex had been in a vegetative state, but he didn''t hate Vivian to death. Instead, he gave her most of the


    shares. It was really heartbreaking.


    In that case, don''t me me for being ruthless in the end.


    Fortunately, Riley was smart enough to find someone to put on this show. They could not only get a


    From now on, the Pei Group would belong to them.


    "Viviane back?"


    "Really?"


    Albert frowned. Six years ago, he really went too far with his daughter.


    He knew clearly who Kelly and her daughter were. But it was easy to control this kind of woman who


    only wanted money at home as long as she gave enough money. But Vivian didn''t understand that. Or


    was she spoiled by him? Too willful!


    "Jay, take the ransom to get them back."


    "Okay, I''ll inform the ountant to prepare the ransom."


    Albert Leaned weakly against the chair. Even if Vivian was too willful, he couldn''t ignore the rtionship


    between father and daughter! Riley was her daughter, so was Vivian.


    "Make sure that the two sisters are safe."


    "Dad, don''t worry."


    Fifteen minutester, Jay set out with the ransom. Half an hourter, they arrived at the abandoned


    factory.


    Two kidnappers pointed at his head with guns and let him in.

    "Honey!"


    "Jay..."


    Obviously, both Riley and Vivian were surprised. They didn''t expect that Jay woulde to rescue


    them.


    "Are you ok?"


    Jay just asked calmly, but in fact, the moment he saw Vivian, there was a sh of joy in his eyes.


    At this moment, Riley noticed it. She hated this so much! It turned out that so many years had passed,


    and he was still thinking about this bitch!


    It seemed that her decision was wise. Once she got the ransom, she would kill the hostage and never


    get into trouble again. As long as Vivian died, her life would be quiet.


    "Honey, give them the money. Let''s go!"


    Riley said anxiously.


    When Vivian was about to say something. She suddenly realized that he was Riley''s husband, so she


    just smiled bitterly and shut up.


    "Leave the money. Take one person with you." Chuck said as he had nned.


    "Take one person? What do you mean?"


    "I mean, we have to take a hostage to make sure that we can leave safely. Don''t worry. As long as we


    arrive at a safe ce, we will let them go! We only want money."


    "I can give you money, but I have to take the two of them with me."


    "Boy, you don''t know what''s going on, do you? You have no right to bargain with us!"

 Chapter 6 A Flawed Kidnap

    Chapter 6 A wed Kidnap


    Jay didn''t say anything, but silently thought about how to buy more time. Since he had brought the


    ransom, he must take the two people back. Now it was really difficult for him to choose between Riley


    and Vivian.


    "You don''t want to choose, do you? Well, you can''t take any of them away!"


    Taking a look at Riley, Chuck waved his hand and asked his men to take the two people away. Seeing


    this, Riley immediately became anxious.


    "Honey, what are you waiting for? Give them the money right now! Vivian had already been kicked out


    of the house. You can leave her alone."


    Riley looked a little ferocious, which made Jay feel speechless, but he didn''t show it. He just nced at


    the silent Vivian indifferently.


    "Before I came here, father asked me to take both of you out of here safely. I I can''t let him down."


    Sure enough, that old man was biased. He had been thinking about Vivian for so many years. As long


    as Riley thought that Albert had left most of the property of the Pei Group to Vivian, she felt as if her


    heart had been scratched by a cat.


    Those were all hers, and no one could take them away from her. In order to win the favor of Albert, she


    and Kelly had tried their best to please him, but in the end he gave his legacy to others. How could she


    ept this?


    Jay''s words made Vivian stunned. She didn''t expect that Albert would care about her, who had been


    kicked out of the house, and didn''t know what to say for a moment.


    "Honey, I''m your wife. You should take me back now. Do you still love this little bitch?"


    "Honey, what are you talking about?" Jay looked at Riley with some me, "This is father''s order. You


    know that father is in poor health. If I go against his might..."


    "Shut up! You think you are all in a teahouse and have a chat?" Chuck felt ufortable being


    ignored. He was the protagonist here, okay? He was kidnapping them. But, it felt like a tea party!


    "I''ve told you that I''ll take both of them away!"


    Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Jay held two big suitcases tightly and looked at Chuck fearlessly. However, Chuck just grinned and


    came to Riley, pulling her up from the ground.


    "Okay, if you insist on taking two people away, I can only kill your wife!"


    As Chuck spoke, he made a cracking gesture. Riley screamed in time.


    "Honey, save me! These people are all crazy. You can''t leave me here alone!"


    "Honey, don''t worry. I won''t leave you alone!" Jay took a few steps forward anxiously, and the anxiety


    on his face was obvious, but Vivian felt somewhat ufortable.


    She always felt that Jay was a little different, but she couldn''t tell what was the difference.


    ording to her understanding of him, Jay was not the kind of person who would show off his


    emotions and love, but what he was doing now seemed a little Deliberately.


    Taking a look at Riley, who was frightened but with a gleam in her eyes, Vivian frowned.


    "Jay, take her away!"


    "Vivian..." Jay felt a pain in his eyes, but he concealed it well. Soon his eyes fell on Riley. "Take care!"


    After saying that, Jay looked at Chuck coldly and threw the two suitcases in his hands on the ground.


    "Here is the ransom you want. If you dare to y any tricks, I promise you will be dead!"


    One hundred thousand dors! One hundred thousand dors!


    That''s US dors. That''s a lot of money!


    His hand holding Riley''s arm kept shaking. Chuck had never seen so much money before! For a


    moment, she had already forgotten her original purpose of kidnapping the two women.


    As soon as he let go of her, Riley, who was weak all over, fell to the ground and Jay held her in time.


    "Honey, I''m so scared! I''m so afraid that you still have feelings for this bitch I''m afraid you''ll take Vivian


    away and leave me here."


    "Silly girl, we are a couple. Who else can I take?"


    Jay wiped the tears off Riley''s face and said in a spoiled tone. Riley smiled sweetly and looked at


    Vivian with mockery and unting in her eyes.


    "Let''s go! It''s not the ce for you to show off your love!"


    Chuck waved his hand impatiently. When Jay wanted to say something, he took out his pistol and


    pointed it at his head.


    "Get out of here if you don''t want to die!"


    "Please don''t. We We will go now!"


    Riley took Jay''s hand and walked out of the room. She winked at Chuck, who frowned and loaded the


    bullet impatiently.


    "Get out quickly!"


    "Vivian..."


    "Honey, get out of here. These men are inhuman!"


    Jay dragged Riley out of the abandoned factory reluctantly. After they got in the car, Riley urged Jay to


    drive away anxiously.


    "Hurry up! Let''s get out of here!"


    "But Vivian..."


    "It''s none of your business. Let''s go!"


    Jay looked at his watch. When Riley was about to urge him again, he showed a trace of disgust but still


    drove away.


    "Miss Pei, I''m sorry!"


    When he heard that the car outside was started, Chuck turned the gun and pointed it at the forehead of


    Vivian.


    "You didn''t n to let me go, did you?"


    "Take money and solve the problem with others! This will never change, Miss Pei, you can only me


    it on your bad luck!"


    At this moment, Vivian was thinking about what her daughter would do if she died? But what could she


    do? She was now under control and wanted to escape. Stop kidding. If she could escape, she would


    have already escaped!


    "I''m dying. Just let me die and tell me who instigated you to kill me!"


    "Who else can it be? Isn''t it obvious?"


    Although Chuck didn''t say it directly, she looked at the rope on the ground with a meaningful look in her


    eyes. Following Chuck''s gaze, Vivian realized that it was Riley again.


    She smiled bitterly and closed her eyes as if she was destined to do so. But there was no gunshot for a


    long time. She opened her eyes in confusion and saw a pair of concerned eyes.


    "Vivian As long as you are fine!"


    Jeffrey held her in her arms. The excitement of regaining something was beyond words.


    When John told him that Vivian was kidnapped, Jeffrey''s heart seemed to be empty at the moment. He


    was afraid that something bad would happen to her. Fortunately, with John, the underground emperor,


    he could easily find the ce where she was kidnapped.


    "Fortunately, you are fine."


    At the thought that someone pointed a gun at Vivian when Jeffrey came in, Jeffrey was scared. If he


    came a few minutester Maybe he would lose her forever!


    No, Jeffrey couldn''t allow anyone to hurt her again!


    "You How do you know I''m back today?"


    After Chuck was taken away by the police brought by Jeffrey, Vivian also sat in the car with him. On the


    way back to the city, she still asked the question in her heart.


    "Our daughter told me that you came back today. She didn''t see you at the airport, so she asked John


    to check it. Fortunately, it was in time."


    "I didn''t expect that I just wanted toe back to see my father, but it was also unforgivable."


    Leaning against the back of the chair, Vivian said helplessly. She knew that Kelly had been worried that


    she would fight for the property of the Pei Family, but she didn''t expect that she would dare to kidnap


    her and even try to kill her.


    "Then what are you going to do?"


    What should I do? Vivian looked out of the window. For so many years, Albert was not in good health.


    He had always been apanied by Kelly, Alex and Riley. But now Alex was in a vegetative state.


    She really didn''t want him to know that all this was done by the always kind Kelly and Riley. ''forget it. I''ll


    visit him when I''m free, and then go back to America to live a carefree life with my daughter!''


    "What? Are you softhearted now? Vivian, Have you forgotten your brother, Adam?"


    "My brother? He has been missing for so many years. I don''t know whether he is alive or dead."


    With a sigh, Jeffrey turned to look at Vivian and stopped the car.


    "Vivian, what will you do if I tell you that your brother is still alive and lives well?"


    "Really? Is he still alive?"


    Excited, Vivian grabbed Jay''s arm. Jeffrey nodded, his eyes shining.


    "Yes, although I haven''t found out where he is, he is still alive! For the sake of your brother, you should


    also take back the Pei Group."


    "Take back the Pei Group?"


    "Yes, with my help, you can definitely take back the Pei Group. Of course, the premise is that you have


    to admit my identity, right?"


    ncing at him, Vivian knew that he was not so kind to help her take back the Pei Group. It turned out


    that he was thinking about it.


    "You..."


    Before she could finish his words, Jeffrey''s phone rang. As soon as he answered the phone, he heard


    the voice of Ruby.


    "Daddy, have you found Mommy? Daddy, you must protect Mommy!"


    "Baby, don''t worry. I will protect your mommy well. You should also be obedient to study there, okay?"


    "Daddy, Mommy told me that it would be very dangerous for mommy to go back. She said that mommy


    had a stepmother like Snow White and a sister like green tea bitch. Most importantly, she asked me to


    tell daddy that I had a married uncle, but she still didn''t give up on mommy! So, daddy, Mommy tiger


    said that it''s very difficult for you to move forward... "


    "Ruby, what are you talking about?"


    "Oh, Mommy, I have to do my homework. Bye!"


    Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Vivian was helpless. She didn''t know who her


    daughter inherited from. She looked so smart all day long, which really made her headache.


    "Vivian, how about You can move back to Shen Family with me. After all, you are the legitimate wife of


    Shen Family!"


    With a helpless look at Jeffrey, Vivian nned to sell the diamond ring worth tens of millions abroad for


    rxation after knowing that she was pregnant. But when she just arrived in the United States, Jeffrey


    knew that she needed aplete family using the child. With pressure and temptation, she registered


    marriage with him in the United States by ident, and Jeffrey was also waiting for the new baby


    there. After Ruby was born, they often meet each other because of their daughter.


    It''s How dare you! Vivian felt so regretful!


    "Don''t forget that we registered for Ruby."


    "Okay, but I really want to remind you that you canpletely treat me as your real husband..."


    "I''m tired. Send me back to the hotel."

    Chapter 7 Tempted, This Man Is Not That Bad After All (Part One)


    "Vivian why don''t you think about it? I''m serious about you..."


    "Jeffrey, I''m not interested in a man who tried to trick me into the bed at the first date!"


    "But you were also willing to..."


    "What did you say?"


    Jeffrey gave her a ttering smile while Vivian red at him.


    "Nothing. I mean although the process was not pleasant, our daughter has been born. Don''t you think


    it''s a little..."


    "Unwilling? Then we can end this fake marriage at any time!"


    Leaning against the door, Vivian gave Jeffrey a charming smile. But the smile scared Jeffrey. She


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    immediately straightened her clothes and coughed.


    "You must be tired after a long day. I have a meeting tomorrow. I won''t bother you!"


    Was there any mistake? He had tried his best to persuade her to register marriage with him. Now she


    wanted a divorce? That''s absolutely no way!


    Watching Jeffrey leave in a hurry, Vivian was absent-minded for a moment, but she quickly closed the


    door. When shey on the bed, her mind was full of the scene that Jay and Riley were in love today.


    For so many years She still couldn''t let it go!


    In the Pei Family''s house, Kelly held Riley, who was crying, and looked at Albert, who looked unhappy.


    "It''s not Riley''s fault that Vivian was kidnapped. Jay and Riley are a couple. It''s not wrong to favor her.


    Besides, Vivian is fine now. Don''t me the two kids. I think Riley was also frightened."


    "Dad, it''s all my fault. I shouldn''t have taken Riley back when she was in danger. Leave Vivian alone in


    danger. I I''m sorry, Dad."


    Jay said and suddenly knelt down. Seeing this, Riley couldn''t sit still any longer. She rushed to him and


    knelt down with him.


    "Dad, it''s not Jay''s fault. It''s all my fault. I I was so scared that I forgot Vivian I..."


    "Well, get up, all of you." After Albert raised his hand, Kelly immediately came to help him up. His


    health was getting worse and worse. "Fortunately, Jeffrey and the police saved Vivian in time. It''s hard


    for him to remember this girl. Kelly, find time to arrange a meal for the two of them. Maybe these two


    people will really have a good result! "


    What a joke! They kidnapped Vivian just to get rid of her. And now his father wanted her to marry


    Jeffrey? If his wish was fulfilled, would the Pei family have a ce for them to live in the future?


    But Kelly agreed with a smile, and the smile on her face was particrly elegant and generous.


    "That''s right. The two kids were on a blind date six years ago. Maybe you will have a good son-inw


    soon."


    "Hahaha It doesn''t matter as long as he is good to Vivian."


    Lowering her head, Riley stood beside Jay with hatred in her eyes? Vivian wanted to marry Jeffrey?


    over my dead body!


    On the second day, Vivian arrived at the gate of the Pei Group early. When she saw Jay, she


    immediately walked up to him with a smile.


    "Jay."


    "Vivian? Why are you here?"


    Jay was surprised to see Vivian. She was wearing a white chiffon long dress today, and her short hair


    didn''t look tough, but more delicate and cute. They hadn''t seen each other for six years. The little girl


    who used to pester him had grown up!


    "Do you have time? I want to talk to you."


    Back then, when Jay was with Riley without saying a word, Vivian didn''t ask him, but she was sure that


    he must have his unspeakable difficulties. However, after so many years, she still felt that Jay was not


    such a vain person.


    "Okay, wait for me at the cafe house across the street. I''ll go up to have a meeting."


    Vivian nodded and left. Looking at her back, Jay]''s eyes turned cold. There were always some things


    that couldn''t be clearly rted to her, which were not good for herself.


    An hour passed by, Jay finally came. Vivian wanted to call the waiter, but was stopped by Jay.


    "No, thanks. I''m very busy. If you have anything to say, just say it."


    There was coldness in his words. Although Vivian didn''t understand his change, she calmed down and


    said slowly.


    "Jay, Ie back this time to ask you for a favor. As you know, my brother disappeared when I was


    one year old. I always thought he was dead, but recently I found some news that he was still alive, so I


    want you to help me Help me keep the Pei Family. When I find my brother, please give this to him."


    Jay looked at Vivian in disbelief. Seeing that Vivian was at a loss, Jay suddenlyughed.


    "Are you really silly, Vivian? I''m Riley''s husband now. How can I help an outsider to steal her things?""


    "Jay, I have never asked you why you broke up with me..."


    "There is no reason. I don''t like your unromantic style, and I don''t like that you choose to be a traveling


    reporter instead of going back to take over the business of the Pei Family. I love you, but I love money


    and power more! Riley and I have been living a good life these years. We love each other very much."


    Hearing this, Vivian smiled bitterly. She thought Jay would never change as long as she didn''t change.


    She didn''t expect that she was just too naive.


    "So You are the same! I..."


    "I didn''t hear a word of what you said today. You can leave now. Don''te to me again!"


    As soon as Jay finished, he stood up and was about to leave, he heard a sarcastic voice.


    "Hey, this is Vivian! Why didn''t you go home to see your father when you came back? Why did you ask


    your brother-inw out for coffee? Are you still in love with him? "


    Dressed in fur, Kelly looked dignified and noble, but her words were acid and mean. Jay didn''t say


    anything, but stood beside her and looked at Vivian coldly.

 Chapter 8 Tempted, This Man Is Not That Bad After All (Part Two)

    Chapter 8 Tempted, This Man Is Not That Bad After All (Part Two)


    Looking at the two strangers in front of her, Vivian suddenly remembered what Jeffrey had told her.


    Both Kelly and Riley were not kind-hearted people. If she couldn''t control the Pei Group, these two


    would never allow her to live.


    Looking at Jay''s ruthless face, Vivian suddenly made up her mind that she would take over the Pei


    Group!


    No one could easily take away what belonged to her and her brother!


    "Kelly, why are you so scared when you see mee back? It''s a pity that I let you down yesterday!"


    Standing up straight, Vivian walked up to Kelly and looked at Jay. "This man was the only guy who took


    you two seriously. But don''t worry, Kelly. I will definitely go back to see my father. I just hope that you


    won''t stop me at that time! What''s more, I won''t let anyone else have the chance to get what belongs to


    me and Adam. Kelly, don''t you think so?"


    Then, before Kelly could say anything, Vivian left the cafe with her bag. Looking at her back, Kelly was


    so angry that her hands, which were pointing at her, began to tremble.


    "Bitch! Just like your dead mother!"


    "Mom, this is a coffee house. Let''s go back!"


    "Behave yourself too! If you do anything to hurt Riley, I won''t let you go! "


    Jay didn''t say anything. He just frowned and watched Kelly leave. Jay didn''t withdraw his gaze until she


    went far away. He took a look at the cup of coffee that Vivian didn''t drink. Suddenly, he picked it up and


    drank it up. The bitterness in his mouth was not so strong as that in his heart.


    After knowing this, Riley thought for a while and went out with her bag.


    "Riley, why are you going out now? I don''t think Jay has done anything wrong. Don''t argue with him..."


    "Leave me alone!"


    She wasn''t worried that Jay wouldn''t cheat on her, but Riley was worried that Vivian woulde back


    to snatch the Pei Group.


    Although she had no backer in the H City, she had to be cautious about Jeffrey. If she used the help of


    the Shen Family to take the Pei Group, Riley really didn''t know who the Pei Group should belong to!


    In the deluxe presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel in the H City.


    "Candice, this is a good chance! I''ve heard that Papa Shen has said that anyone who can give birth to


    a male grandson of the Shen Family will be able to marry into the Shen Family."


    "Really? Jeffrey Will hee?"


    Candice Bai was a second ss star in the entertainment circle. Everyone in the H City knew that she


    was obsessed with Jeffrey, but they didn''t expect that Riley woulde to her.


    "That''s for sure. As long as you have the ability to sleep with him, you will soon be able to enter Shen


    Family!"


    With a calcting look on Riley''s face, Candice gritted her teeth and thought, ''Nothing ventured,


    nothing gained. In order to marry a rich man, I have to work hard!''


    "Okay, I''ll try my best!"


    In the evening, those two carried the drunk Jeffrey to Candice''s suite. The door opened and the two


    quicklye out.


    Lying on the bed, Jeffrey felt a sharp headache, but his body was burning, especially a desire to be


    released, which made his mouth dry and tongue hot.


    "Mr. Shen, you should0 have a cup of water to sober up."


    With a ss of water in her hand, Candice came to the bedside enchantingly. Jeffrey felt a surge of hot


    blood rush to his forehead, but when he saw the person clearly, he immediately frowned.


    "Who are you? Where am I?"


    "Shh, Mr. Shen, you just need to enjoy yourself. I I will take good care of you!"


    Unexpectedly, Jeffrey suddenly closed her eyes. When he opened her eyes again, he saw a ss on


    the bedside table. He jumped off the bed, quickly broke the ss, and shed his arm with a piece of


    debris.


    "Fuck off!"


    "Mr. Shen..."


    "Don''t let me say it a second time! Candice, if you still want to work in the entertainment circle, get out


    of here!"


    Biting her lips, Candice looked at Jeffrey''s angry eyes and thought for a while. Finally, she smiled and


    kissed him on the face.


    "What a pity Mr. Shen, you really don''t want me to stay? I did it voluntarily!"


    "Fuck off!"


    As soon as Jeffrey finished her words, the door was opened. Vivian was stunned to see everything in


    the room.


    Jeffrey sat on the sofa in a pair of t shorts, gasping for breath. Although the light was dim, she could


    still see his red face and sweat falling from his forehead. He held a ss fragment in his hand and


    scratched it from time to time. His whole arm looked bloody.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    There was a hot figure standing in front of him. Somehow, Vivian felt ufortable.


    "Sorry to bother you."


    When she was about to turn around, Jeffrey ran to Vivian, held her arms and murmured.


    "Vivian, don''t go! Don''t go!"


    "I didn''t expect Mr. Shen like this. It seems that..." Shrugging her shoulders, Candice turned around


    and left reluctantly. "I hope you two have a good night!"


    Jeffrey helped Vivian to sit on the sofa. Looking at the scars on his arm, she sighed helplessly. She


    didn''t expect that he could hold back his anger even after being drugged. What a surprise!


    "Have a good rest here. I''ll call your assistant to pick you up."


    "Vivian, don''t go!" Jeffrey held her hand and looked at Vivian in a daze. She didn''t know that she had


    fallen in love with this little woman? "Vivian, don''t go! I know you don''t believe me. I was framed by


    Riley, but I really love you! In the past few years, we have a daughter. It''s my happiest day to travel


    around with her every year. As long as I see you and my daughter, I feel that my life isplete."


    "You are drunk."

 Chapter 9 This Is Not A Misunderstanding

    Chapter 9 This Is Not A Misunderstanding


    Jeffrey put his hand on Vivian''s shoulder and looked at her, panting. Hearing her words, he felt a sharp


    pain in his heart.


    "Listen Vivian, I''m not drunk!"


    Vivian felt as if her shoulder was about to crack. She frowned and twitched the corners of her mouth.


    "Jeffrey, let me ask the assistant to drive you home."


    "Vivian..." Jeffrey tried his best to endure the pain from his hand, but what the woman in front of him


    said made him even sadder!


    He paused and grabbed Vivian''s shoulder with all his strength, murmuring, "If you want to go back, let''s


    go back together! You are my wife"


    Without saying a word, Vivian gently helped him sit on the sofa, and then stood up to look for clothes


    for him, but her hand was grabbed tightly by him.


    "Don''t leave."


    Vivian turned around and looked at him. HIs arm was badly injured, but he didn''t say anything. If it went


    on like this, he would pass out. But he was so childish. If she didn''t go back with him, she might have to


    stay here for the night.


    "I''m just helping you with your clothes. Don''t move!"


    Hearing this, Jeffrey felt relieved. He let go of her hand and frowned, as if he was holding back


    something.


    Vivian picked up the clothes on the ground and threw them to him, with disdain and displeasure in her


    eyes.


    Although she didn''t have any special feelings for Jeffrey, he was still her husband in public. What she


    didn''t like most was that the thing that used to belong to her was stained by others.


    Vivian called her assistant. Jeffrey had already put on her clothes, but she couldn''t tie her tie well. She


    couldn''t bear to see it, so she went forward and bent over to help him tidy up. Seeing that his white


    shirt was bloody red in his arm, she had to put on his suit jacket and help him up.


    Very heavy!


    The assistant arrived at the right time. He came to help him with one hand. The two didn''t go to the


    Shen family''s house directly. After all, Jeffrey was injured, so they went to the vi he often went to.


    After a simple bandage on his wound, the assistant injected him with a tranquilizer before he fell


    asleep.


    The next day, when Jeffrey woke up, her mind was in a mess. What happenedst night was too


    messy. She was afraid that Vivian would get the wrong idea!


    When he saw her in the kitchen, he saw her skillfully grilling the bread and putting it on a delicate te.


    On the table was a simple and delicious breakfast.


    Jeffrey smiled, walked up to her and held her waist from behind.


    "Good morning, Mrs. Shen."


    Vivian felt her waist tightened and was frightened. She slowly responded in a low voice. What


    happenedst night was always lingering in front of her. Thinking of this, she stiffened.


    A sharp light shed across Jeffrey''s eyes. He knew what was on Vivian''s mind. The one who caused


    the trouble should bear the consequences.


    The assistant knocked on the door of the office and put the documents on the table. Just now, when he


    knew that the CEO needed these materials, he immediately investigated the whole situation.


    "Boss, that''s all I have found out."


    Jeffrey flipped through the files and mmed the folder on the ground with a loud noise. As expected,


    there Candice must have a strong background to do such thing.


    Looking at the CEO''s ambiguous smile, the assistant secretly worried about Candice.


    A trace of hatred shed across Riley''s beautiful eyes when she heard Candice''s cry.


    She stared at the front angrily. She didn''t expect that Candice failed. If she was med by Jeffrey,


    Candice didn''t dare to tell anyone about her, unless she didn''t want to live anymore!


    After hanging up the phone, Riley changed her face and gave a triumphant smile. She walked into the


    cafe and wanted to have a cup of coffee as a reward. Unexpectedly, she ran into Vivian, who was


    drinking coffee leisurely.


    "Hey, sister." Riley said with a fake smile. Since Candice didn''t affect the rtionship between her and


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Jeffrey, she should go there in person.


    Looking at her fake smile, Vivian smiled slightly and said nothing.


    "You think I don''t want to talk to you, bitch?" Riley red at her with a ferocious look, and then smiled,


    "Do you know that Jeffrey and Candice are together? They were a perfect match! Candice is one of the


    most beautiful women in our circle. You can''tpare with her for sure!"


    "So you think you are better than Candice?"


    Hearing her aggressive tone, Riley was so angry that she wanted to p her!


    "Riley, this is a public ce. You are so shameless, I want to save my face." Vivian didn''t want to drink


    coffee either. She had nned to go out to rx and deal with the troublesome things after returning


    home. Unexpectedly, she met Riley.


    She didn''t want to hear Riley''s words at all. Although she was surprised that she would know about it,


    she thought that Candice and she were in the same circle, so they should be friends.


    "Huh!" Raising her eyebrows, Riley withdrew her hand and said, "You shameless bitch, you


    can only use the public to protect yourself! Do you think you can do anything as long as you have


    Jeffrey backing you up? In the end, it was us who helped you. Otherwise, how could you still stand


    here right now?"


    "Ha ha." Vivian sneered and thought, ''Was it called help to frame me to other people''s bed? She was


    kidnapped and threw into others'' hands. Was this count as help? Riley''s words were really


    unbelievable!


    She didn''t want to say anything more. She picked up her bag, nced at Riley coldly, and left without


    looking back.


    With a triumphant smile, Riley didn''t stop her. She thought that Vivian was afraid of her.


    Standing at the door of the office, Vivian hesitated whether she should knock on the door or not. She


    didn''t know why she came to thepany of Jeffrey. Perhaps she was eager to expose Riley''s lie.


    While she was hesitating, a faint sound of a conversation unexpectedly came from the unlocked door.


    "Boss, with all due respect, why do you want all the information about Candice?" The assistant asked


    in confusion. Although she knew that what happenedst night might have something to do with her,


    she was still a little worried. After all, it was important.


    Hearing this, Vivian''s heart skipped a beat.


    She was curious about Jeffrey''s answer! She was afraid that she would be disappointed when she


    heard the answer.


    "I have to know!" Jeffrey replied firmly. He must know all the awards,petitions that Candice had


    won and people that Candice was close to! Only in this way could he teach her a good lesson and


    make her stand higher and fall more painful!


    "Arrange a suitable role for her and make her appear in public frequently!" Only a high rate of


    appearance could make her get known by the audience


    Jeffrey sneered? She wanted to be a big star, didn''t she?


    Hearing this, Vivian''s face turned pale and her mind went nk.


    Riley''s words sounded like a joke to her. Everyone knew that Candice was in the entertainment circle


    and that Jeffrey might have a crush on her, but she never thought that was true!


    When she was hesitating, the door suddenly opened.


    When the assistant saw Vivian standing in front of the door, he wanted to say something but stopped


    on a second thought. When he was about to leave, he realized that he was too excited to close the


    door. Now she heard a lot of words that she shouldn''t have heard.


    Jeffrey raised his head and saw Vivian standing there in a daze. He put down the pen in his hand and


    rushed to her. He held Vivian tightly and said nervously, "Why do youe here all of a sudden?"


    "Ha ha," Vivian sneered, turned her head to look into his eyes, and said slowly, "Are you frightened by


    my sudden visit? Are you doing something behind my back?"


    Jeffrey''s heart ached when he heard what Vivian said. ''What a stupid woman!'' He thought to herself!


    What was she thinking about!


    Although it was not a bad thing to tell her about Candice, he was afraid that she would think too much


    all day long. He decided to tell her in person when it was all done.


    "No, I''m just a little surprised that you suddenly came to me. What do you want to eat? I''ll ask my


    assistant to buy it." Jeffrey asked gently.


    "No, thanks! You''d better buy it for Candice!"


    After saying that, Vivian turned around and was about to leave.


    Jeffrey grabbed her hand, her eyes full of panic, "Let me exin, Vivian! I was framed that night.


    Nothing happened between us, you know that! How could I have a crush on her?"


    "I don''t know what you are thinking about her. I think you are very good to her! It doesn''t matter. You


    should let go of me if you love me!" Vivian smiled, but her beautiful big eyes shed a trace of


    coldness, staring at Jeffrey in front of her.


    "Vivian, you really misunderstood me! We both know what kind of woman Candice is. How could I have


    anything to do with her?"


    "Forget it. I know. You must be very busy. I have something to deal with."


    Taking back her hand, Vivian gave him a cold look and pushed the door open without looking back.


    Jeffrey clenched his fists, the veins on his hand pops out. ''Candice is so annoying!'' When everything


    was done, everything would make sense! Looking at the back of Vivian, he walked back to the leather


    chair in disappointment.


    In the coffee shop, Riley was leisurely manicuring her newly made nails. She looked at the shining


    manicure carefully and smiled.


    She knew that Jeffrey must have fallen out with Vivian, so she decided to take this opportunity to attack


    her again! Everything was perfect!


    Riley took out her phone and looked at the note on the screen. She raised her eyebrows and pressed


    the dial button.


    "Hey! Riley!" Seeing the note on the screen, Candice wiped her eyes to make sure it was Riley. Then


    she answered the phone excitedly. It seemed that Riley was also defending her!


    "Candice, I was going to pretend that nothing had happened, but I still feel uneasy for you. Jeffrey has


    always been a man of uncertainty. If he is in a bad mood, he might get even with you!"


    Riley excitedly gestured her fingers and said in a sweet voice. She wanted to make Candice feel that


    she was not in a high position and had offended a big shot. By then, if the two of them continued to


    tangle, things would be moreplicated!


    "Ah! Riley, what should I do now?"

 Chapter 10 Defeated Again

    Chapter 10 Defeated Again


    "Candice, I think you should apologize to her. Think about it. Jeffrey is a noble man. Although you may


    not be able to see him, he knew what you thought. Maybe you two still had a chance."


    Tears welled up in Candice''s eyes, and her shoulders trembled. She did know that Jeffrey was angry


    with her that night, and she didn''t take it to heart. But what Riley said reminded her.


    Just to be sure!


    "I know, Riley. Thank you for your reminding. I will apologize to him. But how can I see him again?"


    "Don''t worry. He has an appointment tonight. I know the partner, so I told you. You have to behave well.


    What happen next totally depends on you!" Riley said confidently.


    "Okay! I see. I will never let go of any chance ever!"


    Candice said firmly. Since Riley was so kind to her, she couldn''t let her down, not to mention that it was


    rted to her future life! As long as she could talk to Jeffrey in secret, she would be satisfied even if


    she couldn''t get him!


    Inside the office.


    Jeffrey rubbed his temples, pushed aside the documents in front of him, looked down at his watch,


    grabbed the car key and walked out.


    He had nned to have dinner with Vivian tonight, but the most important thing was that he had found


    Adam. It was rare for him to have time to go out for fun, so he might as well ask her out to express his


    gratitude.


    The dinner party was cancelled, but the ce where they met was the biggest hotel in the H City. He


    spent all the time meeting him which he could use for having dinner with Vivian. Fortunately, Vivian said


    that she hadn''t gone out yet.


    When they arrived at the parking lot, Jeffrey was surprised to find that there was another person


    squatting next to the car. Jeffrey thought it was Vivian, so he walked up to her excitedly and wanted to


    pick her up. But to his surprise, the person stood up first.


    "Mr. Shen..."


    "¡­¡­"


    Jeffrey could vaguely see the outline of Candice through the light. He turned his head away in disgust


    and wanted to open the door to get in the car, but his hand was grabbed by her.


    "Mr. Shen, I''m here for nothing but to apologize to you..." With a pitiful look, Candice squeezed out a


    few tears and held Jeffrey''s strong arm.


    Jeffrey''s face darkened. Apologize? Well, it seems that she wants to be promoted?


    With her beautiful eyes wide open, Candice rubbed his arm against her chest. Riley told her to seize


    the opportunity, but she just wanted to tempt him a bit again. Today she specially wore a low cut pink


    skirt.


    Jeffrey pushed her away and got in the car as soon as he opened the door. He didn''t want to stay here


    with this shameless woman any longer!


    "Jeffrey! I know I was wrongst time. Please don''t be angry, okay?" Candice pped the window hard.


    She couldn''t believe it! If he didn''t let her get in the car, she must scream in the parking lot!


    "Bang!" Jeffrey mmed the door and made a loud noise. The sound echoed in the empty parking lot,


    and the ce where the light flickered was very mysterious.


    "I warn you not to think about getting anywhere near me. You know what kind of person you are. If you


    dare to badger me again, you will regret it!" Jeffrey stared at her with his dark eyes. He must be crazy


    to let this woman have chances to approach him again and again!


    "I..." Candice''s eyes wandered. Why couldn''t he take a look at her since she had tried so hard? It


    couldn''t be true! Every man would be attracted by her, so he must be holding back.


    "What? Don''t you understand it by now? Do you need me to say it again?"


    Jeffrey pressed her forward step by step, and Candice stepped back step by step. She was afraid that


    the man in front of her would tear her apart at any time.


    "Let me tell you, you will soon know that you means nothing to me!"


    Jeffrey''s words rendered Candice speechless.


    Vivian had nned to wait for him beside Jeffrey''s car, but she didn''t expect to see this scene. It


    seemed that he had lied to her just to be with a beauty? Jeffrey, don''t you even thing about a good


    excuse?


    The next morning, everyone in the H City was talking about Candice.


    "Candice looks serious. How could such a scandal be exposed all of a sudden?"


    "What a pity! I''m afraid she can never get back again. The entertainment circle is too messy. The


    normal like might be good for us after all. We just need to go to work every day.""


    "She must have offended some big shot. The unseen rule couldn''t be broken."


    "Wow! You are right! It has to be!"


    Candice had been annoyed by the inexplicable phone call of her agent since the beginning of the day,


    and was scolded even more harshly by her. She nervously opened the Weibo and was surprised to see


    herself on the headline. When she saw the content, her face was pale, and the fatal offensive words of


    her agent echoed in her ears.


    "Do you still want to have a job, Candice? You are so shameless! You always keep a low profile. Well,


    look at the news and find a way by yourself. I''ve applied for a new position!"


    "You will soon know the consequences!" Jeffrey kept reminding herself.


    It turned out that Jeffrey was really going to ruin her future life!


    In this way, she would be banished from the entertainment industry by thepany. Although she was


    not a famous star, it was really difficult to reappear after this scandal. Even her agent did not care about


    her!


    It couldn''t happen!


    Candice posted a blog, crying and said that everyone should believe her, which attracted arge


    number of fans to abuse her. Looking at the increasing number of fans every second, she was anxious


    and angry!


    Private messages kept appearing, and disputes about her scandals were everywhere.


    However, with so many people, the fans who had been protecting her were gradually overwhelmed by


    the rivals.


    Candice''s gloomy eyes suddenly lit up. She still had Riley on her side! Riley helped her again and


    again for the sake of their friendship.


    Riley looked at the front page of Weibo,pared her face after the surgery, and went to the hotel with


    different bosses. After being favored, she opened a small ount on Weibo to abuse the inte trolls.


    Candice!


    Seeing her daughter''s delicate face flushed with excitement, Kelly held her in her arms and asked


    anxiously, "Riley, what''s wrong?"


    "Mom, have you read the news about Candice? This time, she waspletely doomed! I have wasted


    all my efforts." Riley threw a pillow and stared at the front with a ferocious look.


    If Vivian had seen the news, the misunderstanding between her and Jeffrey would have disappeared.


    The biggest beneficiary was her before, but she ended up like this. Why?


    When Kelly saw the headline, a mysterious smile shed across her eyes.


    "Don''t worry, Riley. Have a good rest at home today. I''ll handle this for you!"


    Holding the phone tightly as if Candice had grasped a life-saving straw, Candice copsed to the


    ground when she saw the message. Her eyes were empty, and theputer was constantly shing


    with different pictures.


    "Come to me? If you don''t want to live, you can stay at home and start a new life somewhere else!"


    ¡­¡­


    Vivian took the lunch box and thanked Jeffrey for his kindness. Walking alone on the road, she


    asionally saw a few leaves blowing on her face and smiled helplessly, holding the leaves in her


    hands.


    "Beauty, I want to ask you about the way here. Is it convenient for you?"


    What they saw was a fat old man with bald hair. He was talking with a smile, but his eyes were


    constantly ncing at Vivian''s thighs and chest.


    "Sorry, I don''t know the way here either. You''d better ask someone else." Looking around, Vivian found


    that the road was very quiet. There were only students passing by in a hurry with books in their hands.


    "Really? How about I give you a ride? Let''s go shopping in the H City." Andy Liu smiled and reached


    out to grab her hand, but failed.


    "Sorry, I have something else to do." Vivian dodged and took a nce at him and was about to leave.


    "s." Andy turned around and walked up to her, raising the corners of his mouth. "You look good. If


    you follow me, you will have meat to eat, and there are countless bills every day, right?"


    Vivian caught a glimpse of a private car next to her. She was very familiar with the license te


    number! Andy thought she wanted to run away, so he ran to catch up with her. However, his fat body


    couldn''t run at all and he couldn''t catch up with her even if he tried so hard.


    It was rare for Kelly to create opportunities for her! How could he let other people get such a good thing


    before him!


    Thinking of this, he ran into Kelly.


    Andy stopped awkwardly and smiled evilly. He didn''t expect that he would jump across the boundary


    and arrive at Kelly''s car which she had warned him not to go.


    Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    With a serious look on her face, Kelly took off her sunsses and sneered in her heart. She had


    nned to take photos and make up news when they were entangled, but this bitch Vivian was smart


    enough to dodge!


    "Vivian, how can you be with such kind of person? Even if you don''t have money, you should take it


    from us. We doesn''tck money. I didn''t expect you to do such a thing. I guess you took the money


    from him."


    Andy didn''t know what to do. He looked away and quickly got into the y. "Honey, is this your mother?


    Why didn''t you tell me about your family? Didn''t you say that your family either died or separated?"


    "Vivian, I don''t owe you anything. If you dare to talk nonsense outside, people who don''t know will think


    you are unwee! No matter how much you hate us, you shouldn''t have said that about us, shouldn''t


    you? " Kelly took a handkerchief to cover her face and wiped her eyes gently.


    As long as Vivian said something unpleasant, she could record the sound editing. Thenter. There


    was a sh ofcency in Kelly''s eyes. Her mother couldn''t defeat her, and even Vivian would be


    defeated by her.

 Chapter 11 A Familiar Face

    Chapter 11 A Familiar Face


    Kelly red at the dumbfounded Andy, regretting that she hade to this idiot. If it weren''t for the fact


    that she couldn''t find someone to act this y, she wouldn''t even want to look at this fat old goat!


    "Have you finished your trick? Don''t think that I don''t know what you are doing. I know how you treated


    me! When I was abroad, did you even ask about me? Haven''t you extracted most of my living


    expenses?"


    Vivian did not want to let it go and Kelly was cunning and unpredictable. She was like a different person


    in front of her father. Vivian tried to ignore her, but not this time. This time she need to show her


    strength.


    "You are a bitch. I will give you a step down. How dare you talk back to me!" Kelly put away her


    handkerchief. A hint of cruelty shed through her eyes, and then she waved her hand. "I feel ashamed


    for you."


    "What about you? If Father knows what you have done, what do you think you will end up with?"


    Vivian''s aggressive tone shocked Kelly. Kelly came back to her sense and asked.


    "Are you threatening me? Well, do you have any evidence? We all need to have evidence. Otherwise,


    there might be someone get used unjustly. Kelly''s sarcasm made Andy want to apud. She


    nced at the lunch box in Vivian''s hand.


    "What if you poison your own father and kill him? You are such a heartless woman, and you are still


    thinking about your money?"


    "I won''t bite back if a dog bites me." With the lunch box in her hand, Vivian stopped a taxi regardless of


    Kelly''s hideous face behind her.


    Andy wanted to catch up with her, but was kicked hard by Kelly, who was so painful that he sat on the


    ground and covered his wound. Kelly used to be so fierce, but he didn''t expect her to be the most


    vicious woman after so many years! Fortunately, he didn''t marry her at that time.


    Watching the car driving away, he cried in his heart. How could he be so stupid to listen to her words!


    When they arrived at the hospital, Riley was wiping her father''s hands gently with a wet towel. It was


    rare for her to be so quiet.


    The next second, she changed her face. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she looked at


    Vivian with disdain in her eyes. Then she looked at her sleeping father and said slowly, "Vivian, how


    dare you stand here? Do you want to make a fool of yourself?"


    Seeing that Vivian didn''t say anything, she added, "What a pity. Father is still alive. You won''t get the


    will."


    "I think you are the one who is looking forward to father''s death!" Vivian opened the box carefully with


    her back to her and shouted.


    "How could it be? Mom said that you have found a good sugar daddy outside? Let me tell you, don''t


    make a big mistake. If it is exposed, how much shock do you want dad to get?"


    Riley stood up and folded the lunch boxes one by one. She raised her eyebrows and asked in disbelief,


    "Did you put drug in this?"


    "I think you have to take medicine!" Vivian picked up the lunch box and protected it tightly, not letting


    anyone touch it.


    She got up early in the morning and made some soup. She specially consulted an experienced expert.


    Her father was weak, but he couldn''t take too much soup. Otherwise, he would get overwhelmed, so


    she made light and delicious soup. However, she was disliked and sneered by Riley and Kelly


    repeatedly.


    As long as her father knew what she meant! Before that, no one was allowed to touch it.


    The door was closed again. Kelly stared at Vivian fiercely.


    "Mom, have you caught Vivian seducing a married man in the street? If father knew this, he couldn''t


    bear it anymore! If anything happens to my father, I won''t spare you!"


    Riley was talking to Kelly, but she nced at Vivian withcency in her eyes. Her mother told her


    the n this morning, and she was really in a good mood! All the worries in her heart were thrown out


    of her mind.


    "Riley, you are not allowed to say one more word about it!" Kelly snapped.


    Riley opened her mouth wide in surprise. Did their n fail? She put all the me on Vivian and stood


    aside silently. She was afraid that she would be angry again.


    "Well, Riley, you must be really tired? I''ve told the restaurant downstairs to cook porridge for you. Make


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    do with it. I''ll cook something delicious for you when we get home. Hurry up." Kelly patted her on the


    hand kindly.


    "Okay, mom, I know. I love the food you cook the most!" Riley said coquettishly, holding her arm. Then


    she turned around and red at Vivian before she opened the door slowly.


    There was a trace of coldness in Vivian''s eyes. The mother and daughter loved each other so much in


    front of her every day, but Kelly had never spoiled her so much. Instead, she felt disgusted and even


    gave beautiful clothes to Riley first.


    That''s right. She is Kelly''s own daughter. Mother and daughter work together to deal with me. Gosh!


    Kelly tucked Albert in gently.


    Albert slowly opened his eyes. He had just taken a nap and felt a buzzing sound in his ears. Then he


    woke up.


    "Are you awake? Be gentle. Come." Kelly said gently and adjusted the angle of his pillow to make


    Albert liefortably.


    "Dad." Vivian walked up to her father and smiled. Her heart ached when she saw her father''s grey hair.


    "Vivian," Albert called her name with difficulty. When Kelly was about to say something, she was


    interrupted by a sound of door opening. She frowned and looked up to see a familiar face!


    "Ah..." Kelly''s face was pale and her mouth slightly opened. This face! She would never forget it even if


    she died!


    "Vivian, I''mte." The nurse said to Vivian with a smile. She had already received a call from her, but


    she didn''te until now because of an emergency.


    "Abby Liu..." Albert widened his eyes in shock. He stretched his legs and was about to get off the


    ground. The tube in his hand was pulled out, and his bloody hand was faintly visible. Regardless of the


    pain, he slowly walked to her.


    Panting heavily, Kelly patted herself on the chest, frowned and red at Vivian.


    "Dad, Auntie is a nurse I hired. She is very good at taking care of people. She is good at cooking and


    looks like my mother very much..." Vivian said slowly.


    Kelly stared at Albert in disbelief. He reached out his hand to touch the nurse''s face, with cold sweat on


    his back. Even she felt that she looked like her, let alone Albert.


    "Yes, they look just the same." Realizing that he had lost his manner, Albert put down his hand and


    looked at her apologetically. Then he turned around and sat on the bed. "But you are not her. I can see


    that."


    "Vivian, you are so thoughtful this time! You haven''t let me down since you came back. Ahem... "


    "Dad, take good care of yourself. Mom must be very worried about you. Don''t let anything happen to


    you. Have a rest first, okay?" Holding her father''s hand, Vivian had a pair of beautiful eyes, which made


    people get lost in this.


    "Now, I''m afraid I don''t have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. I know my body very well." Seeing that


    he nodded, Vivian helped him lie on the bed, put the pillow under his head and gently tucked him in.


    When the nurse saw this scene, she knew one or two things. She walked to Kelly and asked softly,


    "Madam, let me do all these things. I''ve been working in this industry for so long. Don''t worry. I will take


    good care of Vivian''s father."


    Looking at this face, Kelly panicked. At first nce, she thought it was a fake corpse. Don''t panic. You


    didn''t do anything!


    "I see. The arrangement of things also needs to be paid attention to. Don''t bezy." Kelly looked at the


    displeasure on Albert''s face and quickly said, "I''ve always been obsessed with Feng Shui. You should


    be familiar with it."


    "I know." The nurse cleaned up the table quickly.


    Kelly didn''t like it at all.


    Thinking of this, Vivian couldn''t help but curl her lips. No way you can think of another trick! She felt


    wronged and flustered when she was abroad. Then she thought about itter. It was enough to be with


    her precious daughter. Now, no one could hurt her.


    A harsh voice came to her ears.


    "Don''t alwaysint about everything. If you can''t stand it, you can do it yourself! I think she is fine.


    You are so annoying!" Albert''s face was pale, but his eyes were bright.


    Kelly was rendered speechless, and her desire to speak was suddenly extinguished. She nced at


    Vivian, red at her, and then acted as if nothing had happened.


    In the office.


    "Boss, everything goes well. You can rest assured!" The assistant''s words were interesting. Mrs. Shen


    had misunderstood the CEO. If she saw the headline, the truth would be revealed.


    With a satisfied smile, Jeffrey stared at the entertainment news in front of him. The result was as


    expected and the efficiency was very high. Her assistant was really reliable!


    However, she was worried about another thing.


    He had already known one or two pieces of news about Adam, but why did the news suddenly stop


    and couldn''t find any core information? Could it be that someone had figured out a way behind his


    back?


    "Boss, the recent disturbance in thepany has been eased, but we find that someone is


    investigating the information of the orphanage. However, he won''t seed for the time being!"


    "Orphanage?"


    "Yes, it seems that they don''t want to end up like this. They are persistent in searching, but there is no


    hacker invasion. It''s really strange. If they want to steal information, I think they should find the most


    wanted top hacker in the world to invade the information system of the orphanage. It''s really


    strange."

 Chapter 12 Flattered

    Chapter 12 ttered


    Austin Lu tapped on the table with his fingers. The assistant was so anxious that he didn''t get any


    response from the boss? Was he in a bad mood?


    "I see. You can go ahead to finish your work."


    He nodded, turned around and pushed the door open.


    Austin opened the drawer and took a look at a photo. An unreadable expression shed in his eyes.


    Orphanage?


    He grew up in an orphanage and was adopted by a good family. Now he took over the position in


    charge of his adoptive father''spany. He would never forget the kindness of his whole life.


    However, it was still shocking to see the happy family of three on the street asionally. Was his own


    parents still alive? Do I have any other siblings?


    The document handed over by the assistant showed a person''s identity information.


    Austin picked up the car key, stood up and opened the door. After checking the time, he opened the


    door and left.


    "Ding Ding." Hearing the familiar ringtone, Vivian subconsciously took out her phone to check the


    message, and then put it away. Looking at her father''s quiet and kind face, her had tears in her eyes.


    She had to try her best to take back her own things and prevent anyone from robbing them! Hurt them!


    The nurse put the cups in order one by one. Looking at the serious look on Kelly''s face, she gently


    walked up to Vivian and said, "Vivian, it''s time for you to eat something, or you will be starved. That


    was no good for your health"


    "Yes, I will. Thank you foring here to help me."


    "It doesn''t matter. You are just adorable. How can I refuse you! What''s more, it''s my fault to say no to


    such thing! I''m d that I can help you. Go and buy something to eat."


    Vivian nodded, stood up and picked up her bag. ncing at Kelly, she turned around and walked away


    without looking back. Kelly caught up with her and grabbed her arm.


    "Bitch, I didn''t expect you to be so cruel! Let me tell you something, I have a way to make her leave.


    How dare you insult me by doing such a thing!" Seeing no one around, Kelly pointed at her and cursed


    Vivian.


    Although Albert was unwilling to part with the nurse right now, he will get over it sooner orter. She


    could find herself good excuse to leave him. You''d better get out of here!


    When she saw this face, she was very flustered. She wished she could let her disappear in the world


    right away!


    "Kelly, how could you say something like that? My father is very satisfied with the nurse I hired, and he


    is not dissatisfied at all. But you, who have been pointing and talking all the time, father and I really


    can''t stand it..."


    "You!" Looking at the calm face of Vivian, Kelly gasped slightly. She had the advantage first. Why did


    she suffer losses here now? No way!


    "You look exactly like your mother! If I hadn''t known your true colors, I would have been deceived by


    your fake appearance again. How can you do this to your mother?"


    Looking at Kelly who changed her face in an instant, Vivian sneered in her heart. This woman was very


    scheming. Fortunately, she heard the whispers and knew that someone had passed by. Wasn''t she


    trapped by her?


    "Kelly, how is dad? Don''t push me anymore! I won''t shield you anymore. Do you still have conscience?


    Dad is so sick. Now you still want money from me to buy new clothes."


    Tears welled up in Vivian''s eyes and she said in a sobbing tone. The nurses passing by looked at the


    two and pointed at them again and again, taking Kelly as a shrew.


    Kelly stared at her fiercely. She was even more involved in the y than she was. How could she hold


    back her tears? People who didn''t know her might think that she was a vicious stepmother.


    After weighing the pros and cons, she turned around and disappeared at the corner.


    Looking at her receding figure, Vivian stood still for a long time. The tears in her eyes were true. When


    she was abroad, Kelly and her daughter treated her coldly and even took all the money. She didn''t say


    anything about her father''s illness.


    As a result, she was even more negligent of her father. She couldn''t let them seed!


    Clenching her fists, Vivian took a deep breath and walked to the gate of the hospital. She took out her


    phone and was editing a message.


    "Vivian, you haven''t left yet? Is it inconvenient for me to stay here? I hope you won''t stand at the gate


    of the hospital anymore. People who don''t know you might think that this is the gynecology


    department."


    Riley said jokingly, raising her eyebrows. Seeing her text message, she was sure that she was going to


    have dinner with Jeffrey. She was not sure if she had read the entertainment headlines. If her mother


    hadn''t said that the bitch had left already.


    "You can''t read? I don''t know about gynecology. Besides, you are familiar with this department." Vivian


    frowned and wanted to walk past her.


    "Vivian! You should know that Jeffrey has a lot of women around him, including you. Candice is the first


    one, but she won''t be thest one. Although I''m not interested in him, I can see that you are pestering


    him, so I want to help you! "


    "You''re being oversensitive. I''m going to have dinner with him now. Riley, let''s settle the old and new


    problems together! I know you hate me so bad, but I don''t care what you think."


    Hearing this, Riley was slightly stunned. If she was allowed to leave, all her previous efforts would be


    wasted. Just now, her mother said that the bitch had left, so she seized the opportunity. It seemed that


    she hadn''t seen the news.


    I could have destroyed her impression of Jeffrey again, but I didn''t expect her to make such a scene!


    "Don''t you have any other feelings for Alex?" Riley decided to go all out to hold her back as long as she


    could!


    After a short hesitation, Vivian walked forward without hesitation.


    Jeffrey stretched out her hand and gestured for her to raise her arm. The two walked at the door of the


    restaurant and entered the private room they had prepared in advance in a low profile. When they saw


    her expression full of "I''m worried", they burst intoughter.


    "Hmm?" Hearing this, Vivian came to her senses and stared at Jeffrey. She just remembered that Alex


    had a car ident. If it weren''t for her, how could he end up lying in the hospital.


    "Vivian, can you tell me what was bothering you? Adam said that if she saw you like this, I would be


    beaten up." Jeffrey flicked Vivian''s forehead and teased.


    "No, I''m just thinking about some random dreams."


    Vivian chuckled. It had been a long time since she talked to Adamst time. It was only a short amount


    of time, but he missed her so much.


    "Okay, promise me. Don''t be unhappy!"


    "Besides, I was dyed by something, but I''m happy to have dinner with you now." Jeffrey looked at


    Vivian affectionately and said gently.


    "I know. There must be a lot of things to deal with in thepany. Don''t be too tired."


    "Are you caring about me? Vivian, can you stop avoiding me?" Jeffrey felt strange. Hadn''t she read the


    headline yet?


    Hearing this, Vivian was a little panic. She found an excuse and ran to the bathroom to "hide". She


    patted her chest gently and shook her head.


    "Have you seen the news? Candice is so pitiful. So many scandals have been exposed by her


    enemies. However, at the first sight I saw her, I saw her hypocritical stic face!"


    "You said she was pitifulst second, but why are you socent next second?"


    "Why is she so shameless as a woman who has used the unspoken rules? A three ss actress wants


    to shoot a movie? Didn''t you sayst time that she insulted him just because the coffee he bought was


    too cheap? "


    "Really? I think you are a troll."


    "Everyone in the world knows that she is a scheming woman. You are too out of date."


    "I don''t know how many couples she has secretly torn apart..."


    "I''m going to work. I''mte..."


    Vivian didn''t want to hear so much, so she suddenly stopped holding the doorknob. ''Candice? Isn''t she


    the woman who is entangled with Jeffrey?


    Did she really misunderstand him?


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Vivian wanted to check the news on her phone, but she found that she had forgotten to take it with her!


    She had no choice but to sit on her seat dejectedly, staring at Jeffrey with her big and heavy eyes.


    "What''s wrong? You have been absent-minded since you went to the bathroom. " Jeffrey grabbed her


    hand and rubbed it gently.


    "Candice Candice... " Vivian didn''t know how to start, but she wanted to say something but stopped on


    a second thought.


    What a fool! Jeffrey smiled helplessly. She really didn''t know the headline of the news? He had worked


    so hard to hit the headlines for her, but she hadn''t read them yet!


    "Silly girl, as I said, Candice is a bad woman. Do you know it now? We have nothing to do with each


    other. Evil people will pay. That''s the rule."


    "Did you do that?" Vivian asked With her eyes and mouth wide open.


    Didn''t he say that he would help Candice find a movie role with high ratings?


    Jeffrey immediately read her mind and smiled proudly.


    "I was nning to arrange a good role for her to increase her poprity, but I didn''t expect that a


    supporting role with a high rate of audience took the y. The hot topic on Weibo was not her perfect


    appearance, but her dark history."


    "Well, that''s all right. Although it was out of my expectation, it did develop wellter. Her poprity has


    been increasing, and everyone knows her. The news exposed just works. Only a fool like you will think


    that I have a crush on her."


    Hearing what he said, Vivian was shocked and ttered.


    It turned out that Candice was a legendary woman that everyone in the entertainment circle was talking


    about. Jeffrey really put a big effort this time. Evildoers have their own retribution. She shouldn''t


    sympathize with such a person.

    Chapter 13 Lookers-on See Most Of The Game


    "Then Then how did you n to set her up?"


    "I wanted to make her a hypocritical goddess of the nation, but I didn''t expect her to walk such a


    rugged road. I can''t help her." Jeffrey shrugged.


    The smile on Vivian''s face was so big that it almost made her cry. As the goddess of the nation, she


    was so scheming that she was a lot different from that.


    "Boss, I''ve prepared all these devices. We can take action at any time!"


    Looking at the young man in front of him, Austin nodded and patted his strong shoulder. Derrick was a


    good friend he had known since he moved in. They showed each other respect and their rtionship


    was very close.


    Derrick was a top-level hacker master. He had nned to boldly find out who was investigating the


    information of the orphanage, but all kinds of evidence pointed to that the person behind it was a


    woman! This was what made people feel strange.


    To be sure, he first loaded the virus on theputer, and then looked for the information of that person,


    without leaving any trace, although that person had already been waiting there for a long time.


    "Derrick, it''s up to you!"


    Derrick skillfully loaded the virus, and his fingers danced quickly on the keyboard. After a while, he


    stopped and said to Austin, who was standing aside, "Boss, you can do whatever you want to do next. I


    promise there will be no ident!"


    "Well, if we seed this time, we must have a good drink!" Austin stared at the information in front of


    him with his eyes wide open.


    Vivian?


    It turned out that he had a sister who had been missing for many years! ording to her personal


    information, her brother was missing at a young age, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.


    And the reason why he went to the orphanage was that he lost his memory and was stimted to


    forget part of it. When he grew up, he inadvertently hurt his head and remembered this, and he had


    already forgotten the person in the past.


    He really didn''t expect that. He didn''t expect that. His mother had passed away, and his father had


    married another woman and given birth to a daughter and a son.


    Riley often saw on entertainment news that a high-profile woman would have no good character!


    Austin frowned. In this way, everything was clear. Why was there a strange woman who imed to be


    a servant? No matter how cold she was, she would not give up. She wanted herself to remember


    things.


    He released the mouse and signaled Derrick to nt the virus out of theputer. Then he took out


    his mobile phone to look for the number of the contact. He remembered that her mobile phone number


    had been saved before!


    Derrick put away theputer devices one by one and looked at Austin, who was still trembling with


    nervousness. It was the first time that he had seen him act like this. He was usually a cautious and


    patient man.


    "Derrick, I have something urgent to deal with now. Let''s have dinner another day. Thank you so much


    today!" Austin nodded and said excitedly as he found the familiar phone number and patted Derrick on


    the shoulder.


    "Go ahead with your work! We''ll talk about itter. Don''t worry about it."


    "Okay."


    When they arrived at the coffee shop, Austin sat in front of a strange woman with his sixth sense. She


    was only more than 30 years old, and her big eyes were full of sadness and uneasiness. She was


    staring at Austin.


    "It can''t be wrong. It can''t be wrong." She murmured.


    "Hello, I haven''t formally introduced myself before. My name is Austin."


    "You are not Austin. You are Adam, Mrs. Pei''s son!" Anna shook her head uneasily. She had witnessed


    Adam being sent to different ces, but she couldn''t take him away. She felt so sorry for her dear son.


    Feeling that she was different from other days, Austin asked anxiously, "Am I really Mrs. Pei''s son? Do


    I have a sister called Vivian?"


    "That''s right! Master, do you remember that? Master." Anna covered her face with her hands. Since his


    mother was killed, she had moved out of the Pei Family, far away from the filthy Kelly and her daughter.


    She felt so sorry for her! If she didn''t have the courage to protect the two of them. She could at least


    protect him. They were living a hard life. Later, with the help of a kind-hearted person, his life gradually


    became better and better.


    Then she finally decided to meet him! Unfortunately, he didn''t recognize everyone.


    "Master I''m so heartless! I won''t forget how much Madam has done for me all my life, but I haven''t


    taken good care of you when you grow up. Master, how are you doing in the Lu family? I thought you


    couldn''t remember these things all your life."


    Anna said in a panic, looking around.


    Since Kelly and her daughter cursed her, she had a bad time. She had to look around to see if there


    were any viins who were eavesdropping, which caused her to be in a trance for a period of time.


    "Don''t worry. No one wille here." Austin crossed his hands and said firmly.


    "Master, my name is Anna. I''m a close friend of Lord Pei''s first wife. I''ve been treated well by my wife


    when I moved in. I won''t forget her kindness. Butter, with the appearance of Kelly and her daughter,


    my life gradually turned down."


    "They behaved like a fox in front of Lord Pei and me. I didn''t have the courage to refute them, so I lived


    a cowardly life. Later I irritated them, and they took back their jobs. At the beginning, they even


    arranged people to follow me."


    "Later, I was in a trance, but sometimes I was serious. At that time, I happened to see you being


    abducted by a group of children trafficking criminals, so I followed up and knew where you lived, but I


    didn''t dare to take you away. I was afraid that I couldn''t control myself."


    "When I was in a trance, I would go to the street and pretend to be a bagger. Normally, I would go to


    see you again. Later when you grew up, you were adopted, and I followed you. I didn''t dare toe to


    see you until I was mentally normal, but you have forgotten it."


    "Madam was framed by Kelly and her daughter!"


    Anna covered her face with her hands and kept sobbing.


    She felt so sorry for her. She couldn''t forgive herself for this!


    "Aunt Anna, I can understand you. I won''t me you. No one will me you. Don''t me yourself. It''s


    Kelly and her daughter''s fault. They bullied people first!"


    Austin clenched his fists in anger. Kelly and her daughter were really cunning. He was afraid that his


    sister had been poisoned by them, so he had to bear it and look at their faces? That''s impossible!


    As a result, Albert led a wolf into the house and put his brother and sister in trouble. What''s more, it


    had cost her mother''s life! As a father, there was nothing more devastating than this!


    Austin frowned. Now, he must fulfill his responsibility as a brother and protect his sister!


    After dinner, Jeffrey took the special elevator with Vivian. When they were about to close the door, a


    figure quickly got in.


    Derrick looked at the two people apologetically and saw a familiar little face, which was very delicate.


    The tiny nose and cherry lips were very cute, and her big eyes were blinking. He seemed to have seen


    it before?


    Right! It was the woman he had just seen! It was on that information chart.


    It was this face, but it was a little more inexperienced. He didn''t expect that the type Austin liked was


    this. It was fate that he missed the good opportunity to see a beauty like her.


    Jeffrey cast a cold nce at Derrick who had been looking at Vivian, and hugged Vivian with


    dissatisfaction, telling him that this woman hadpany! However, Derrick didn''t take it seriously. He


    nced at them for a few more times and habitually raised his chest to stand aside.


    Feeling ufortable with Jeffrey''s hand, Vivian gently pushed him away, wondering why this man


    had been looking at her all the time.


    In Jeffrey''s eyes, Derrick''s small action was a big mistake! He thought Derrick was unting his chest


    muscles, which he was proud of. He snorted coldly. Men all had chest muscles, so there was no need


    to be proud!


    "Ding Ding." As soon as the elevator arrived, Jeffrey took Vivian to the front, striding with difficulty to


    keep up with the pace. She looked back at the strange man just now, wondering why he couldn''t be


    seen.


    "Which type do you like?" Jeffrey pressed her against the wall and held her in his arms.


    "I''m not answering that question. Besides, why are you so close to me?" Vivian didn''t want to be taken


    advantage of, so she turned her head around!


    "You gave birth to our child. She is still waiting for us at home. You''d better not think about other men,


    otherwise..."


    "Otherwise?"


    "It''s toote for you to regret." After saying that, Jeffrey held her waist and put her on the car. Then she


    sat on the driver''s seat and stepped on the gas.


    Derrick looked at the figure in front of the door helplessly and twitched the corners of his mouth. Speak


    of the devil.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "Weren''t you looking for a woman just now? Why did you run away all of a sudden? Did you look for


    someone?" Derrick joked, taking the good wine from his hand as usual.


    As long as it was at this time, it was definitely not a good thing that Austin woulde to him again. It


    was normal for him not to get drunk and not go home. Atst, he fell asleep at home, unable to wake


    up no matter how hard he tried.


    "When did you talk so much?" Austin picked up a slice of squid and put it into his mouth. He hated to


    see Derrick eat these snacks, but they tasted good asionally.


    "Because..." I saw her just now! Derrick paused for a while, opened the bottle of wine mysteriously and


    poured a ss in front of him.


    "I''m bored."


    "Yes, I can see that."


    Austin pulled his tie. He had just checked the information about Kelly and her daughter by the way. He


    didn''t expect that they would be so discreet that they used more forces to find out the hidden plot.


    They really admired their strength and wisdom.


    "Derrick, if I tell you that I have a sister, will you believe me?"


    "What! She?"


    Austin didn''t say anything. He just drank up the wine in one gulp. Derrick looked shrewd at ordinary


    times, but his EQ was terribly low. If his curiosity was aroused, he would definitely keep asking. s,


    why did he ask for trouble?


    "Then who is it? Is it some young model?"


    Austin rolled his eyes. He didn''t want to talk anymore. Derrick was just pretending to be aloof. Now he


    didn''t care about his dignity anymore.

    Chapter 14 Private Dispute


    "Forget it. Let''s celebrate our in journey tonight! Good luck!" Austin raised his ss and burst into


    and she should have a good life from the day on!


    "Oh Oh?" If Derrick confronted him, would everything go smoothly for Austin? He grew up with him in


    an orphanage, and then was adopted. He had gone through trials and hardships in the Lu Family. No


    one knew that in fact, he had suffered alone from the pain. He never showed his weak side.


    Derrick suppressed his thoughts and smiled at Austin. He should be happy as his good friend was


    happy now.


    "Bang!" Jay pushed the door open and saw Riley sitting in front of the dresser, applying skin care


    products on her face carefully.


    "Honey!" Riley patted the cream on her face to make it absorb evenly. Then she stood up, ran to him


    and sat down in a coquettish manner. "Honey, how are you doing in thepany recently? You always


    look tired. Let me give you a massage, okay?"


    Jay pushed her away without leaving any trace. He really didn''t like the smell of skin care products that


    she had been applying, let alone talking with her at a close distance, which was very annoying.


    Biting her lips, Riley turned around and gently massaged Jay''s shoulder. Feeling that his hard muscles


    rxed a bit, she approached him and whispered in his ear, "Honey? I''ll make some soup for you. I''m


    very worried about your health."


    Jay felt warm in his ear and frowned impatiently. He did have a lot of things to deal with in thepany


    recently. He would only be on high alert when Riley was buzzing in his ear. It was impossible for him to


    rx himself.


    "No, thanks. You just need to stay at home and be Mrs. Du. I don''t want you to be too tired, not to


    mention that you don''t know so much about my business."


    "I know, honey. You love me the most! I saw a bag recently. It''s so beautiful! I''m totally attracted by it.


    Why don''t you buy it for me? I''m bored at home. That''s all I can do for fun."


    Riley said, blinking her big eyes. The girls all thought highly of this limited edition bag. If I could buy it,


    they would not look down upon me!


    She was Mrs. Du. How could she always wear the outdated clothes? Jay would not refuse. She had


    enough reasons!


    "Is there not enough money in your card?" Jay said slowly.


    "I''m going to buy a limited edition. Do you think it''s enough? As Mrs. Du, I should dress up well." Riley


    wrapped her arms around Jay''s neck tightly.


    She had a lot of things to do. How could she have enough money? Even her motherughed at her for


    not being loved by her husband.


    "You know the password." Jay took out a card from his wallet, handed it to her with his fingers, and


    pulled his tie. "I''m going to take a shower."


    "Go ahead, honey. I love you!" Riley let go of her hand and said affectionately. Looking at the card in


    her hand, a sh ofcency shed across her eyes.


    The next day, Vivian had already prepared breakfast. She was eating bread while staring at the pad in


    her hand.


    After putting the condensed milk, Jeffrey cut the bread into pieces and pushed the te in front of her.


    "Let''s eat first!"


    "Okay." Hearing this, Vivian put down the pad reluctantly and ate the breakfast on the te. After


    chatting with her baby yesterday, she was in a better mood and ate more.


    "What are you going to do today? I have told you to put aside your work in advance. You should do the


    most important thing right now." Jeffrey said. He knew that Vivian had been tracking the Pei Group.


    "I just want to have a look. Besides, I have nothing to do. What''s wrong with that? I learned


    management abroad. Can''t it be useful here?"


    "Just with your little trick?" Jeffrey raised her eyebrows, "It''s not impossible. Just don''t be too tired.


    Besides, if I find out that you are hiding something from me, you will be miserable!"


    "There is nothing to hide from you."


    Hearing that, Vivian curled her lips. She nned to go to the Pei Group today to check the internal


    situation. Jay was always in charge of thepany. That bothered her for a long time.


    When they arrived at thepany, the receptionist was surprised and said nothing. Looking at the


    unusual appearance and dressing of Vivian, she couldn''t help but nce at her. Was she looking for


    someone?


    Was she looking for a handsome man in thepany? No way! He was the prince charming in


    everyone''s eyes. How could she upy him alone!


    "Hello, what can I do for you?"


    Vivian ran her fingers through her long hair and said, "Thank you. I''m just looking for someone."


    "You need to find someone? Who is it?" The receptionist asked curiously.


    "A friend of mine." Vivian didn''t expect the receptionist to be so "enthusiastic" when she came to see


    the employees. Did she think she was going to do something bad?


    "Miss, the personal grudges should be handled after everyone gets off work. If you are free, you can go


    out to y. There is a rule in ourpany. I''m sorry." The receptionist looked at her angrily.


    "I''m sorry. I''m here to deliver a message to my friend. If I neglect it, I can''t afford the consequences..."


    Seeing more and more employees passing by, Vivian was afraid of getting recognized.


    The receptionist saw that the prince charming walked past Vivian and didn''t even nce at her. She


    was finally relieved. It turned out that they had nothing to do with each other.


    "Okay, okay. Just don''t disturb everyone''s work."


    "Thank you."


    Holding her bag tightly, Vivian lowered her head slightly and walked to the stairs. The employees


    usually had to save time and only chose the convenient elevator. At this time, there were fewer people


    walking on the stairs.


    Thepany was in charge of a lot of projects, and the service industry was very famous. When


    passing through all departments, the employees were staring at theputer, their fingers flying


    quickly on the keyboard. The employees who copied the documents didn''t waste any time, and they


    even ran to the side to make tea.


    Even the people who passed by her frequently ignored her. They walked in a hurry and were busy with


    their own affairs.


    A piece of white paper shed in front of Vivian''s eyes. Subconsciously, she stepped back, but her


    back hit a hard thing.


    "It''s you." Jay was a little surprised, but he soon regained hisposure. He had nned to find a guy,


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    because he owed him the code he had promised. He didn''t expect to run into Vivian here.


    "Yes, it''s me. I just came to see what''s going on in thepany."


    Jay frowned slightly, and then chuckled, "After all, I''m your brother-inw. I have to treat you, right?" He


    gestured for Vivian to follow him.


    Hearing this, Vivian paused. It sounded like a joke at that time, but she had to deal with it calmly. He


    was Riley''s husband!


    "Since you said so, I can''t refuse."


    When they arrived at Jay''s office, the two sat on the sofa.


    "Do you want to go back to thepany?"


    "What? Are you afraid that you can''t keep your seat?"


    Jay smiled. He could only hide his bitterness in this way. "That''s right. You are also capable. I don''t look


    down upon you."


    "Let''s not talk about work. How are you and Riley doing recently? She is so idle that I feel sorry for her.


    You are her husband. You should treat her well."


    "Of course, I know my position and identity. I have never wronged her. We love each other very much.


    You seem to care about it a lot. Are you still afraid of my wife? If you dare toy a finger on her, I won''t


    let you go!"


    Thinking of this, Vivian sneered in her heart. Since when they could only talk about this, there was no


    other topic that could continue like this.


    She had seen through this hypocrite!


    "It''s good that you two love each other. I''m just consoling you."


    "Mom! Is this dress beautiful?" Riley put the dress in front of her and smiled proudly.


    Kelly waved her hand and picked up a pink short skirt. The delicate and small decoration was unique.


    Riley liked the bold and sexy type, but the lovely and cute dress was more endearing, wasn''t it?


    "Riley, it''s beautiful, but you have to buy the clothes that Jay likes. You dress so well all day long. You


    have to know whether he likes you or not!"


    Hearing this, Riley put the clothes back to where they were. Jay''s favorite clothes? Men like sexy


    clothes, don''t they? She didn''t believe that he didn''t like it anymore. He must have refused to admit it,


    and his body was honest.


    "Mom, I don''t know how to dress up. Jay said I look good. Don''t you see my appearance and figure?


    Women will envy me. I can wear whatever clothes I like!"


    "Honey, men like new things. If you show off your figure every day, he will get tired of it one day!"


    Kelly pointed at her head. She was very worried about Jay. He looked honest and gentle, but in fact, he


    was aplicated man! Although his daughter had a purpose to be with him, it was possible for him to


    run away shrewdly.


    At that time, there would be few people on her side, and thepany would fall into the hands of that


    bitch, Olivia!


    "You should try to win his heart and change dressing style. Isn''t it good for him to see you different


    every day? He is our man now, but I still feel a little worried. He is our chip!"


    Riley nodded. What her mother had done was all for her own good. Jay was Vivian''s first love, and she


    had an affair with her husband. It seemed that she had to make a big deal of money.


    When the receptionist saw Riley, who was wearing high-heeled shoes, walk up to her, she was too


    stunned to say a word. When she came to her senses, she found that she had disappeared! She


    wondered why thepany was so lively today.


    Riley walked into the elevator,bed her hair and changed the design of the strapless skirt. She


    chose a conservative short skirt. Jay must be excited to see her!


    Thinking of this, she was ecstatic and thought of the miserable look of Vivian when she saw Jay.


    "Bang!" The door was opened and Riley walked into the office. When she saw the man in front of her,


    her eyes suddenly became sharp.

 Chapter 15 Shattered

    Chapter 15 Shattered


    "Why are you here? What are you doing here, Vivian?" Riley said crossly, ring at her with her big


    eyes. Then she walked up to Jay and held his arm.


    "Honey, what are you talking about?"


    "Nothing. Don''t worry. I won''t take her words seriously anyway." Jay said coldly, looking at Vivian in


    front of him.


    A smile shed across Riley''s eyes when she heard the satisfied reply.


    "Vivian, it was my fault yesterday. I shouldn''t have intervened. But how could you say that to a waitress


    who was supporting her family alone? She was wrong, but if your clothes were dirty, you could buy a


    new one. That had a great impact on her."


    Speaking of this, she pinched Jay''s arm nervously. Her eyes were bright, but she stared at Vivian


    fiercely, with a sneer on her lips.


    As long as Jay believed what he said, the image of Vivian would be ruined in his heart.


    Vivian didn''t argue. She looked at Riley''s hypocritical smile and felt itughable. Her lie was so funny


    that it could not only create a good image of a kind-hearted woman for herself, but also bring herself to


    the bottom of the valley, which proved her identity as a fake women!


    Jay looked at her worriedly. Vivian didn''t want to argue with him, but she couldn''t. Her heart ached. He


    wouldn''t believe what Riley said, but he wanted to help her more. However


    "Honey, did shee to tell you about it? I did it on impulse. I really couldn''t bear it. Will you me


    me?"


    "No, I won''t. Vivian, my wife did this to you. I think you are the one who bullied others first. I really don''t


    know your true color! I didn''t expect you to be such a hypocritical woman! I think you just want to take


    this opportunity to make me misunderstand Riley, right? Huh."


    Staring at the excited Jay in front of her, Vivian knew that he was against her for another woman.


    "I didn''t do anything wrong. Why should I bear the consequences of the victim of this fraud? You couple


    are so tacit. I am speechless!"


    Riley nced at hercently. As long as Jay was on her side, she would be in big trouble!


    "Bang!" The assistant looked at the scene in front of him awkwardly and whispered something in Jay''s


    ear apologetically. Then, Jay pushed the door open and walked out.


    After he left, Riley sat elegantly on the sofa with her hands crossed over her chest, as if she was in


    charge of her own territory.


    "I really don''t know why youe here to look for trouble. I was going to show Jay the new clothes I


    bought today, but you were just an eyesore here. You two were alone in the room, not to mention that


    you were a real tramp. It''s normal for me to worry about you."


    "I don''t know what to say if you are suspicious." After saying that, Vivian picked up her bag and was


    about to leave. She really forgot to check the calendar when she went out today!


    "Bitch! Who do you think you are? Still thinking about thepany? Let me tell you, thepany is


    ours, and Jay is also mine. If you have any bad intentions, don''t me me for being rude!" Riley looked


    ferocious. She had had enough of this bitch''s stare just now.


    It burst out in a loud voice.


    Jay, who had just pushed the door open, frowned. He didn''t expect that Austin would hear the woman''s


    quarrel in this way.


    Riley looked at Jay in astonishment. She ran to hold his arm and keptforting herself that he didn''t


    hear anything.


    "Jay, I''m sorry to make youugh just now. She has been arguing with me for a long time. You should


    get used to it!" Vivian cast a cold nce at Riley. She was so unlucky that the goddess image she had


    tried hard to build was destroyed all of a sudden!


    Austin''s eyes widened at the sight of Vivian, but soon regained hisposure. He smiled and said, "I


    was in a bad mood, but now I''m much better after hearing something new."


    Riley was at a loss and her face was rigid with tension.


    "You should take good care of your wife. I heard that she is gentle, lovely and approachable. She


    deserves the reputation." Speaking of this, Austin stared at Riley with sharp eyes.


    Jay smiled and said nothing. Of course, Vivian was happy to get out of this.


    Riley couldn''t stay calm anymore. She heard her mother''s words. She must win Jay''s heart back!


    "Then I won''t disturb your precious time alone. I can visit you another day." Noticing that Vivian was


    about to leave, Austin said something first. It was not easy for Jay to refuse. What''s more, Riley had


    caused a lot of trouble.


    Vivian took the elevator with him. Looking at the floor number on the screen, she felt that the time


    seemed to stop and it was a little slow. The people around her were not annoying at all and helped her


    out. Without him, she might not be able to deal with it.


    "Thank you."


    "It''s okay. I just knew about it. It really surprised me." Austin said. It was obvious that he meant was


    Riley. She was so shameless that she dared to make things difficult for her sister!


    "Why don''t you refute?"


    "Refute? I have forgotten what refutation is. I was afraid of being scolded back by them, but now I don''t


    want to talk with them anymore."


    What Vivian said him feel sorry for her. She had suffered a lot of grievances in the past, so she didn''t


    take it seriously now.


    "But it doesn''t matter. I don''t care about it now. Let me treat you to dinner. You helped me a lot today."


    "Okay." The two of them made a deal.


    Riley and Jay were in a stalemate. She stepped forward and acted all flirty and pouty, "Honey, in fact, I


    just..."


    "Well, you don''t have to say that. I know you are doing this for my own good." Jay said indifferently. It


    was good that Vivian was fine. He knew what kind of person Riley was, but he had to put up with her!


    "Honey, you are the best! Go ahead with your work. I''ll leave you alone." Riley shook his arm gently


    and acted coquettishly.


    She had to hurry up to catch up with him. It was a rare opportunity!


    After saying goodbye, she saw two familiar figures and called a taxi to follow them. "Sir, can you hurry


    up! I''m in a hurry!"


    "Madam, safety is the first priority. But this time, I''ll make an exception and show you my skill." The


    experienced driver stepped on the gas and skillfully drove the car.


    He quickly caught up with them and kept a certain distance.


    Riley smiled and took out her phone. With a click, a photo came into view. It looked good! As long as


    they found the right angle, they would be convicted of adultery.


    What will Jeffrey do when he sees these photos?


    Austin was ying light music, and the atmosphere in the car was a little unusual. Vivian looked out of


    the window from time to time, her big eyes full of curiosity, and her mouth opened and closed,


    muttering.


    "What are we going to eat? What do you like to eat?"


    "Farm dishes? How about you?"


    "Me too!" Vivian didn''t expect to meet a man with the same taste as her! Jeffrey always said that she


    had a special taste, but in the end, he would take her to eat what she liked.


    Why did she think of him!


    Shaking her head and blinking her big eyes, Vivian said, "I know a very good restaurant. Let''s go there.


    I''m a frequent customer there."


    "Okay. Is it over the South Sea road?"


    "That''s right. I didn''t expect that our hobbies are so..." The car was full of joy. Vivianughed loudly.


    Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    It was not easy to meet a person who was not annoying and had the same taste!


    "By the way, my name is Austin. I haven''t introduced myself yet."


    "I''m Vivian. Nice to meet you."


    Vivian smiled and scratched her head. If he didn''t introduce himself, she would have forgotten to


    introduce herself. If he were her brother, how wonderful would it be to have dinner with him and chat


    with him.


    Riley followed them all the way to the end. When she saw them enter the restaurant, she pressed the


    shutter for thest time and looked at the resultscently. Then she smiled with satisfaction,


    edited a message and sent it to Jeffrey''s e-mail.


    Jeffrey clicked on the e-mail and rubbed his temples, thinking that after he dealt with thest thing, he


    would pick up Vivian for dinner. When he saw the content of the e-mail, he was stunned, and then


    stared at the note on the screen of her mobile phone with malicious ck eyes.


    You are such a troublesome woman! Vivian!


    In order not to disturb the harmony of the dinner, Vivian deliberately turned the ringtone to mute, and


    the phone kept buzzing in her bag. Obviously, the two people who were chatting happily did not realize


    this.


    Why didn''t she answer the phone!


    After deleting the e-mail, Jeffrey thought for a while and guessed that it might be from Riley. Why didn''t


    she open a new ount and sent the e-mail to his public e-mail?


    "Ring, ring, ring..." The familiar ringtone of her phone rang. Jeffrey thought it was from Vivian, so he


    answered the phone without even looking at it.


    "You are really..."


    "Hello, daddy?" The soft voice came through the phone. It was Ruby!


    "Daddy, what''s wrong? Did Mommy make you angry? Daddy... " Hearing that Jeffrey ignored her, Ruby


    was anxious.


    "No, honey. What''s wrong?"


    "I miss you, okay? Where is Mommy? I want to talk to her."


    "You don''t want to talk to me? Okay, I''ll hang up!" Jeffrey said jokingly. As soon as he heard his


    daughter''s soft voice, he immediately put down his tone. He was so gentle that he even forgot his usual


    coldness.


    "I want mommy. Daddy, I don''t want you. How can men listen to women''s talk?"


    "Ruby, where did you learn that from?" Jeffrey narrowed her eyes. If he didn''t know where she learned


    it, he would break her legs, even though he couldn''t do it.


    "Sorry, daddy. Didn''t you say that I''m not a man? So I''m a woman!"


    With her hands akimbo, Ruby stepped on the bed boldly. After saying that, she suddenlyy on the


    bed, her little feet constantly shaking.


    She wouldn''t say that she learned it from her mother!


    Judging from daddy''s tone, it seemed that they had a fight. The world of adults was really terrible.

 Chapter 16 Out of The Crisis

    Chapter 16 Out of The Crisis


    Staring at the message on the screen, Riley raised her eyebrows and smiled. She thought to herself,


    ''Still want to go against me?'' She put her phone back in her bag and walked into the dining room.


    When she saw the tearful smile on Vivian''s face, she couldn''t help clenching her fists, and then


    loosened them. Riley strode forward and said, "You two are so idle. Aren''t you tired all day, Vivian? I


    saw you with Mr. Shen yesterday."


    Then she opened her eyes wide and looked at Austin in surprise, "Mr. Lu, I was indeed rude just now,


    but my sister did something wrong. As her sister, I should have guided her on the right path, shouldn''t


    I?"


    "Riley, can''t I do something decent? Are you right to put on a show all day long! Aren''t you tired?" Not


    to be outdone, Vivian said aggressively.


    "Look at you. You lose your temper as soon as I said something wrong. Look at yourself in the mirror.


    You''re as terrible as if you''re going to strip me off!"


    Riley frowned slightly, pretending to be an elder who was teaching a younger generation a lesson.


    Seeing that Austin cast a strange nce at her, she didn''t dodge. Standing aside, she was very angry


    with Vivian! Otherwise, how could she say something like that.


    "Riley, this is a public ce. You''d better restrain your tone. We''ve just finished eating and we''re


    leaving." Austin took Vivian''s hand and left without looking back.


    Riley rubbed her long hair and didn''t take it seriously. She kept looking at Austin with her beautiful


    eyes. This man was the heir of the Lu Group, young and famous in the business world. His handsome


    appearance did attract many women''s attention.


    She couldn''t find any w on him!


    Judging from his tone, he was protecting her! Did Vivian decide to let go of Jay? What a good taste! He


    was rich and handsome. Did she really think that she was the lucky one?


    Riley sneered and pushed the chair in front of her, "bang!" It made a loud noise.


    Walking shoulder to shoulder with Austin, Vivian waited at the door for him to return the car. She looked


    through her phone and found that there were dozens of missed calls from Jeffrey!


    Hisst message was two minutes ago, "If you don''t reply my calls, I will call the police!"


    With her eyes wide open, Vivian wondered why Jeffrey was so strange. What he said was true! She


    had shut him outside the door before. He threatened her to call the police, and the police really came!


    She called back immediately, Jeffrey answered quickly. Jeffrey shouted in a harsh voice, "You are such


    a worried woman! I''m so worried! Why don''t you call me back? I''m worried about you."


    "I My phone is on silent when I was having dinner." Vivian put the phone far away from her ear and


    answered in a low voice.


    "Having dinner? Where are you? I''ll pick you up!"


    Vivian felt that she had no right to refuse. She turned her head weakly to take a look at Austin before


    telling him where she was. Then she walked to Austin and looked at him apologetically.


    "Austin."


    Hearing her soft voice, Austin thought of her eyes just now and guessed what just happened. He


    smiled slightly and said, "It doesn''t matter. You can go ahead with your business."


    "Okay, thank you. I had a great time today!" Vivian nodded her head and thought, ''Austin is like a lucky


    star. When Rileyes to make trouble, as long as he is by her side, she will be able to get out of


    danger and protect herself well.''


    It was strange. How could he give her a sense of security? Thinking of this, she smiled again.


    Austin sat on the driver''s seat, started the engine and drove away.


    As soon as he left, Jeffrey came over, and the horn behind her rang loudly. Vivian turned around


    subconsciously and ran into the car.


    Jeffrey stared at the signboard of the shop with his ck eyes. Only the people who were close to


    Vivian woulde to such a restaurant. Looking at her faint smile, he was even more suspicious. Then


    he remembered the person in the photo.


    "Is it so important to have this meal? You even put your phone on mute." Jeffrey snorted and said


    coldly.


    "Nothing. We are just friends..." Vivian carefully observed the facial expressions of Jeffrey. He was


    expressionless, covered with ayer of frost, and his eyes were horribly cold.


    Although it was easy for her to say that she was having dinner with Austin, in order to avoid


    unnecessary trouble, she thought that friends were more reliable.


    Jeffrey thought differently, he believed Vivian was just trying to cover it up! This woman!


    He raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of affection. "Our daughter was talking to me on the phone just


    now." Speaking of this, Jeffrey turned to look at Vivian, with acent look in his eyes.


    Since Vivian became a mother, she loved Ruby very much. Strangely, every time she had a dispute


    with him, the atmosphere would dissolve as long as it came to Ruby. This was one of the best card for


    Jeffrey.


    "Well, she loves me. No doubt about that." Vivian pouted slightly, as if she was not afraid of being taken


    away by others.


    Jeffrey smiled, "I''m going to take her back home."


    "What?" Vivian''s eyes widened in astonishment. She had already discussed with Jeffrey abroad not to


    pick up Ruby and return home. Why was it so sudden? Did she want to go home?


    "Yes, Ruby wants to go home. She wants to see her parents. I have thought for a while since we sent


    her abroad. Although she has a nanny to take care of her, it is meaningless for her to grow up without


    her parents''pany."


    "Don''t worry. I will arrange everything and live in my own vi first."


    Jeffrey said with a smile. Vivian also didn''t want Ruby to be exposed to the public and step into the


    chaotic circle too young, especially as the child of Shen Group. He didn''t want Ruby to be hurt at all!


    Thinking of this, Jeffrey''s eyes were sharp.


    Hearing this, Vivian''s heart ached. As a mother, she ignored Ruby''s feeling again and again.


    Perhaps it was a good choice to bring her back. As long as Jeffrey was there, Ruby would be fine! She


    believed that.


    Riley looked out of the window, then turned her head and leaned on Kelly''s shoulder, stuffing her mouth


    with sweet grapes.


    "Riley, how is everything going in thepany? Jay stays upte for social engagements every night.


    I''m worried about him. Although he is on our side right now, he can still dump us at any time! He didn''t


    even look at you."


    Kelly said earnestly while picking grapes.


    "Mom, don''t worry. I looked great today after hearing your advice. I didn''t expect to meet that bitch


    Vivian in thepany!"


    Riley red at her. But today was also a nice day. Jeffrey must have misunderstood Vivianpletely!


    "However, Jay has put in a good word for me and always stands by my side. Don''t you know the


    expression on Vivian''s face? It''s so ridiculous!"


    Hearing this, Kelly felt relieved. She could already imagine that bitch was unwilling to ept the reality.


    She was asking for trouble. How could she think of going to thepany for trouble?


    "Riley, what is she going to do?"


    "Mom, she did it on purpose. More importantly, I found a big secret!" Riley sat up, raised her eyebrows


    and crooked her fingers mysteriously.


    Kelly was curious about what secret it could be, so she asked her to continue.


    "You know about Austin? The man who often appeared on the newspaper recently is a big figure. He


    seems to treat Vivian differently. I guess he has fallen in love with her!"


    "Of course not! Vivian must seduced him first!" Kelly couldn''t believe it. How lucky was Vivian? Austin


    was a good young man and a famous leader in the business circle!


    If she hadn''t heard it from her mahjong friend, she would have thought that he would be blindfolded or


    tempted! She would rather give such good fortune to others than fall into the hands of that bitch named

    Vivian.


    "Riley, how did you know that? Is this information reliable? We need the most urate information!"


    "Mom, it''s true. I checked it myself! I just tried to test her, but Austin spoke for her and took her away! In


    my opinion, the rtionship between the two must be strange, not to mention that Austin is so rich."


    Vivian only want Austin''s money. If he were a pauper, I bet that she would definitely leave him far away.


    "Yes, that bitch! You have to seize this opportunity. Although we don''tck money, Austin is better than


    Jay. Don''t let that bitch get the better one. Riley, you have to work hard!"


    Kelly frowned and said unhappily, with coldness and hatred in her eyes.


    It didn''t matter for Vivian to rise to prominence. As long as she had enough people and funds, she


    could do that. She was afraid that she would not be able topete with her for the territory now!


    "Of course I know. Mom, don''t worry. I''m not stupid. We won''t let that bitch get what she wants!" Riley


    held her mother''s arm intimately and acted like a spoiled child.


    Jay, who was standing at the entrance, frowned. He had heard everything he should and shouldn''t


    have heard!


    When Riley caught a glimpse of Jay who was walking towards her, her face turned pale with fright, as if


    someone had poured cold water on her from above.


    "Honey..." It was not until Kelly pinched her daughter who was in a daze that Riley came to her senses.


    She stood up and followed him. She took over his suit jacket and smelt the familiar smell of cigarettes


    and alcohol. It was good that there was no woman''s perfume on it.


    Riley smiledcently, and then walked up to Jay. She was relieved to see his calm face. If he


    heard something bad, all her previous efforts would be wasted!


    "Honey, are you tired? I''ll prepare you the water for shower."


    "Yes, I just came back. I''m very tired." Jay pulled his tie irritably and nodded. Riley kept looking at her


    own face, trying to find out her shorings, but unfortunately, he had heard everything.


    Riley smiled charmingly and went into the bathroom obediently.

 Chapter 17 Jealous

    Chapter 17 Jealous


    The next day, in the Golden Holiday Hotel.


    Maggie Liubed her newly permed curly hair and looked at herself in the mirror. Then she put down


    theb with satisfaction and took out her cosmetics to fix her makeup.


    Riley walked over to help her fix her hair and winked at her, "You look pretty. You don''t need any


    makeup."


    "Humph, I want to be pretty. I don''t know about those ugly people. They said they put all their efforts on


    making money so they never thought about dressing up. I can do both things together."


    Maggie rolled her eyes, shook her head and said helplessly, as if she had seen through the mortal


    world.


    Riley smiled and thought to herself, ''If I didn''t need your help, I wouldn''t have suffered spending time


    with you here! I''ll see youter!


    ng! ng! ng


    Seeing the check, Maggie continued to fix her makeup indifferently. When she saw the extraordinary


    amount on the check, she widened her eyes and grabbed the check.


    "Tell me, what''s the matter?"


    "I want you to do me a favor. Don''t you have to shoot a magazine cover here?" Riley crooked her finger


    at her and said mysteriously.


    Maggie was a pretty girl who had a good reputation in the model circle. She was famous for her


    coldness, but as long as she was touched by a lot of money, she would do it at all costs, but she would


    never trade sex for money, so she offended many rich men.


    But there were many sisters who wereplementary to each other, so no one dared to look down


    upon her.


    Fortunately, she got the card from Jay before. Otherwise, how could she invite this "big shot"?


    Hearing what Riley said, Maggie nodded her head quickly, with a cold light shing in her beautiful


    eyes.


    Austin walked into the coffee shop, found a window seat and sat down. He came here today mainly to


    deal with something quietly. The coffee shop was filled with pleasant music, and Austin flipped through


    the documents and read them seriously.


    When Maggie looked into the coffee shop from the outside, she saw a man with extraordinary


    temperament. That was the Austin that Riley had mentioned!


    ording to the n, Maggie walked into the coffee shop without hesitation and gently walked past


    Austin. When the waiter with coffee passed by, she pushed the waiter without leaving any trace, and


    then leaned over to help the waiter hold the te, so that the coffee wouldn''t spill on the documents on


    the table.


    The waiter was startled. The waiter saw the coffee wasn''t spilled on the paper.


    "Be careful. If I weren''t here, the coffee would have spilled all over the paper." Maggie said with a smile.


    Her dimples looked lovely.


    "Thank you." When the waiter saw the life-saving straw, the waiter looked apologetically at Austin next


    to her and quickly ran away with the te. If it weren''t for that lovelydy, he would have lost her


    money! Those documents seemed to be very precious.


    Lookingcently at the waiter who was fleeing away, Maggie raised her eyebrows. She didn''t


    expect her n to be so sessful. She caught a glimpse of a familiar car outside the ss window.


    Sitting in the car, Riley kept pressing the shutter, satisfied with Maggie''s wit.


    "Thank you." Austin said to Maggie indifferently. He should have said that to her. After all, this


    document couldn''t be copied. If she hadn''t saved him just now, he would have gritted his teeth to


    protect these documents and sacrificed himself.


    "It doesn''t matter. This is what I should do." Maggie lowered her body, pretending to be nervous, and


    looked at Austin with her eyes wide open.


    "I think you are very familiar." Maggie turned her head and pretended to be thinking about something.


    Seeing Riley''s gesture to her, she said confidently, "Oh, right! Do you know a woman called Vivian?


    With short hair."


    Austin was surprised that she would talk about Vivian, so he nodded in agreement.


    "That''s right! She often talks to us about a man called Austin. He gave her a house or a luxury car, and


    it''s a normal thing to invite her to travel abroad. Even the private helicopter is verymon!"


    "Although Vivian is a little exaggerated, she is also good to us. She often gives us some out of date


    clothes. Although they are out of date, they are all beautiful! I''m so happy to have those clothes to


    wear."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    "Ah, I''m sorry to tell you so much all of a sudden." Maggie patted herself on the head. Her delicate face


    was full of joy, and she was even happier in her heart. She had performed well just now.


    Although she did something immoral, the money was good. What else did she want to do with other


    people''s money? Maggie had to try her best to do what she should do. Seeing that the n was about


    to bepleted, a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.


    "Because she often mentioned you to us, so she couldn''t help but say a few more words. Don''t take it


    to heart. I''m confused. Ha ha, I''m leaving now. I won''t disturb you."


    After saying that, Maggie left Austin.


    Austin frowned and stared at the direction she left.


    Since when did Vivian have such a friend? It was not strange for her to behave like this, but it was


    obvious that she was a model. What did she mean by saying that to him just now?


    Exaggerated? Giving others'' outdated clothes?


    A mysterious smile shed across Austin''s eyes. It seemed that this women knew his sister better than


    he did.


    Maggie bought two cups of coffee and walked out of the cafe, deliberately bypassing the path and


    meeting with Riley.


    "Did you get it?" As soon as Riley got the satisfied picture, she put away her stuff and left. She was


    waiting for Maggie on the path.


    As long as the n seeded, she would send the photos to Vivian''s phone, which would weaken


    Austin''s image in her heart. ording to that bitch''s character, she would never question him face to


    face and exin anything. She would only cry foolishly!


    Riley curled her lips and lookedcent.


    "Of course, I am." Maggie handed her a cup of coffee and took a sip. She blinked her eyes and said


    proudly.


    "Well, now that you have done it, just forget it. Your magazine should be finished. I hope you can go


    back to work as soon as possible. Your business trip ispleted!" Riley took the coffee and raised her


    eyebrows.


    She wished that Maggie could take the money and leave as soon as possible. She didn''t want anyone


    to find fault with her at all, even if money could shut Maggie''s mouth!


    Squinting slightly, Maggie nodded.


    "Yummy?"


    "Yummy..." Vivian answered, filling her mouth with delicious food.


    "Slow down. No one will take it from you!" Jeffrey reached out and wiped the crumbs off her mouth.


    Seeing that, Vivian thought he was going to do something, so she was too scared to move. She didn''t


    "You look ugly when you eat."


    "Okay." Maybe you look good when you eat!


    Vivian made a face at him in her heart, but she had to admit that Jeffrey did look nice when he ate. He


    ate elegantly and slowly without making any sound. Obviously, he was from a noble family.


    As the dinner went on, Vivian swallowed thest piece of meat and touched her bulging belly, indicating


    Jeffrey that she need to use the bathroom.


    Jeffrey looked at her back and smiled helplessly.


    "Ding Ding." The familiar ringtone sounded. Jeffrey was very satisfied with Vivian''s obedience this time.


    She didn''t set the mute. Because the phone was put aside, Jeffrey wanted to take it over, but she didn''t


    need to bother thister.


    He picked up her phone and saw a photo.


    Jeffrey didn''t want to invade Vivian''s privacy, but his curiosity drove him to continue reading. When he


    saw the photo, he slightly narrowed her eyes.


    This man was very simr to Jay, but there was another woman beside him, and the two were very


    close.


    Did the person who sent the photo want to tell Vivian secretly that this man was a yboy? Or did this


    people do it on purpose? He had nned to wait for Vivian to confess what happened yesterday, but


    she acted as if nothing had happened.


    Sitting on the leather chair, Vivian leaned back against the soft cushion and looked at Jeffrey in


    confusion. She took the phone and found it was Austin!


    "What?" Vivian murmured, "Is this Austin''s girlfriend? No way. Why didn''t he tell me? Or why did he


    Austin smile?"


    Jeffrey looked at Vivian, who opened her mouth in surprise and frowned. He cleared her throat and


    wondered what the woman was thinking!


    "Did you have dinner with himst time?"


    "Yes..." Answered Vivian calmly.


    "And you muted your phone for him?"


    "What did it have to do with this?"


    Vivian looked at him and asked in a low voice. She felt as if she had done something wrong and was


    waiting to be judged by the man in front of her.


    "He''s just a yboy. Someone is sympathizing with you!" Although Jeffrey really cared who sent the


    message, what mattered more was the attitude of Vivian.


    "I don''t believe it." Although Vivian just knew Austin, she didn''t care about him. She only treated him as


    a friend, even though she didn''t know him very well.


    Jeffrey stared at Vivian with malicious eyes. Every word of this woman was cut to the heart! He didn''t


    know when he cared so much about every word Vivian said. Seeing that she was neglected in the Pei


    Family, he wanted to kill all the people except her!


    Seeing her happy, he could also feel happy inexplicably. Although he was a bastard who only


    threatened her with his daughter, he was also amitted bastard.


    "I think he is very kind, which makes me feel very secure. As long as I am with him, I will be able to get


    rid of Riley, and Riley will suffer losses." Vivian smiled and her big eyes were full of expectation and


    excitement.


    "Sometimes I think that he might be a good friend of mine in my previous life."


    Jeffrey''s mouth twitched. Sister? Although it would damage his reputation, no one in the previous life


    would know that. Maybe he was just an ordinary citizen? Vivian''s good friend was not bad. Jeffrey


    didn''t even realize that he was jealous.

 Chapter 18 Do You Want To Be A Princess

    Chapter 18 Do You Want To Be A Princess


    "You know what? He also likes to eat farm food as I do. He often goes to the same restaurant. But it''s


    strange that he hasn''t met me for once." Holding her chin with one hand, Vivian spoke with her big


    eyes vivid and lovely.


    Perhaps it was because the good luck she had umted in her daily life. Since she just knew him,


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    she had always been lucky. HMM, maybe. Thinking of this, Vivian smiled.


    Staring at her bucktooth, Jeffrey grabbed her chin tightly and turned her face to him. "Who do you think


    is better, him or me?"


    Looking at Jeffrey''s erged handsome face in astonishment, Vivian was at a loss. She tried hard to


    get rid of his hand which hurt her chin. "All right, all right..."


    Austin could fix the light bulb for her at night, just like the big brother next door, while Jeffrey was an


    unruly and unreasonable young master!


    One might be her sister in her previous life, and the other might be her child''s father. Both of them had


    their own advantages.


    Jeffrey let go of her hand and watched her rubbing her chin. Then he realized that she was telling the


    truth


    After dinner, Jeffrey sent Vivian to the vi and drove back to thepany to deal with something.


    When the assistant saw the CEO walk into the office, he quickly followed him.


    "Boss, the investigation result hase out and has been sent to your private e-mail." The assistant


    stood aside respectfully.


    Although he was very curious about why the CEO wanted to investigate this matter, the CEO always


    liked to deal with it quietly. He''d better do his own job so that the CEO could not worry about it.


    "Okay, I see. You can go ahead with your work."


    Hearing this, the assistant nodded to show that he had known it, and then pushed the door and left.


    Jeffrey opened his private e-mail and looked at thetest e-mail. She moved the mouse and clicked it,


    carefully reading the content on the screen.


    Sure enough, this person was Riley.


    The reason why she said so was to dere that she was on his side. But this time, she seemed to be a


    little anxious. How could she be sure that he would believe her immediately?


    Well, do you think you are also a petty guy who is easily blinded by immediate interests? Riley, you are


    ttering yourself.


    That man was Austin, a young man who had made great achievements in business recently. He


    seemed to be inexperienced, but his scheming was unpredictable. The Lu Group had also recently


    entered one of the most important internationalpanies in the H City, and could not be


    underestimated.


    "Mr. Du, I am looking forward to the result of our twopanies'' future interests."


    "Me too. Let''s celebrate our friendship and have discussion with each other in advance!" Jay raised his


    ss and smiled at Austin.


    He always felt that Austin was good-looking when he smiled, simr to Vivian. He was sunny and


    naturally exuded confidence from the inside. But his deep eyes gave people an iprehensible


    feeling, which was very mysterious.


    "Mr. Lu, you must look good when you smile. I always think that you look like one of my friends..."


    Speaking of "friend", Jay paused for a while. Since when the rtionship between him and Vivian was


    so fragile that they could only count as friends right now.


    "Really? What kind of friend?" Austin smiled faintly, but there was a hint of mncholy in his eyes.


    "Vivian, you know her. She is a good friend of mine." Jay raised his ss and drank it up, with a sh


    of hatred in his eyes.


    He hated himself for being so useless! They put an innocent and good girl into such a situation today.


    As soon as they met, they had to talk about Riley. The next topic was nothing but them quarreling with


    each other.


    Austin knew that Jay was Vivian''s first love. He had read all the personal information of Vivian and


    always wanted to see what kind of person Jay was. How could he marry the sister of the woman he


    once loved.


    "In fact, she is also my first love. It''s funny. I end up marrying her sister, Riley. She is a woman who


    never showed her true feelings. Although I don''t mind, sometimes she will do something that I can''t


    understand and make me unable to sit still and wait for it."


    Riley was always making trouble for her. Vivian didn''t know how sad she was to deal with it alone.


    When she heard what Riley and her mom said today, she realized that the most terrible thing in the


    world was their heart!


    Perhaps it was good for Vivian to be with Jeffrey. At least, Jeffrey wouldn''t allow her to be bullied and


    suffered.


    Austin stared at his face with his deep eyes. Such an affectionate man would take off his hard armor at


    night and drink silently to paralyze his heart.


    He knew Jay from an academic economic forum. He was a good man. Now he managed thepany


    in an orderly way and didn''t fail his expectations.


    "I look like Vivian very much, because I''m Adam. It''s more funny, isn''t it? I just knew it."


    "What! Adam!" Jay looked at him in bewilderment and murmured.


    Vivian had bitterly mentioned to him that her brother, whose life was uncertain, was actually Austin? No


    wonder he always gave people a strange feeling. He was very close, and his personality was very


    simr to Vivian''s. They also had many simr hobbies.


    "Does Vivian know about this?" Jay said excitedly, and his dim eyes suddenly lit up. He could imagine


    how surprised Vivian would be when he knew that his own brother was still alive!


    "It''s not the time yet! Jay, I hope you can keep it a secret for me. Only you know it!"


    Jay looked at his firm eyes with a serious look. After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded heavily.


    God will open a window for you when the door is closed.


    "Riley and her daughter have turned our family upside down. My sister has suffered so much, and my


    mother has been killed. I will never let them go!"


    Austin clenched his fists with hatred in his eyes!


    "I''ll have them pay it back slowly! Let them gradually feel that there are many crises, but they can''t


    escape. They understand the pain we have suffered, and understand the pain we are still suffering! I


    won''t get Vivian involved. I want her to live a healthy and happy life."


    Jay nodded and said, "I know! I married Riley for my own reason, but I have the same purpose as you.


    I will take revenge on them! Let them know what pain is... "


    "We have reached an agreement on our cooperation. There will be a celebration party next. Remember


    not to be absent at that time."


    "I know!" Austin stared at the red wine ss with his ck eyes, shook it gently, put it in front of his


    nose and smelled it, tasting the taste of the good wine.


    After cleaning up the room, Vivian changed the color of the curtains and furniture she liked, and put on


    a deer nightmp. She took a deep breath, opened the door andy on the bed.


    When Ruby returned home, she wondered if she would like her room? If Ruby said she didn''t like it,


    she would break Ruby''s legs! Ruby should praise her own mother for being beautiful and handling


    things well.


    Thinking of this, Vivian smiled with a dimple on her cheek. She really wanted to hug her baby Ruby.


    She would be soon. It was not bad to give her a surprise.


    Vivian put on a pair offortable jeans jumpsuit, canvas shoes andbed a ponytail. She went out


    briskly.


    Vivian walked to the toy shop unconsciously. Looking at a variety of goods, she couldn''t help touching


    the robot and the doll.


    In the end, she still hoped that her daughter could be a beautiful girl. When she arrived at the girls'' toy


    area, a row of Barbie dolls came into view.


    Barbie dolls were annoying. Barbie had everything, except life.


    Barbie could change her clothes with a smile every day, go to the coffee shop, garden, and make


    cakes with her good friends.


    Every girl was envious and longing for this kind of life.


    Vivian picked up a set of Barbie doll garden series, wearing a garden weeding dress simr to her


    design, and a lovely little garden. It turned out that her clothes were a servant''s clothes for weeding.


    She couldn''t help but burst intoughter.


    Austin picked up the robot and saw Vivian standing at the girl''s toy area with a smile.


    He stepped forward and gently patted her on the shoulder.


    Startled, Vivian held the box tightly subconsciously. Austin looked at the box of the Barbie doll and


    smiled when he saw the familiar clothes.


    "Is it funny? My clothes are the garden maid''s clothes in the eyes of the Barbie doll!" Vivian pouted


    slightly and said defiantly.


    "But the cloth on you look like a limited edition."


    "Ha ha." Vivian was satisfied with Austin''s response. Although she was shameless, she looked down at


    the box in her hand. ''It was good!'' she thought to herself. Ruby would also like it, it also had a deep


    meaning!


    The Barbie doll was wearing the same dress as her own mother. She felt embarrassed.


    Austin apanied her to the check-out counter and saw her carefully holding the doll box in her


    hand, with a look of love in her eyes.


    "You like it?"


    "Yes, I like it. My daughter..." Vivian paused for a while and smiled. She almost told him the secret of


    her dear daughter!


    Austin smiled and didn''t take it seriously. He walked with her shoulder to shoulder. From time to time,


    there were many little children running by her side. They were reluctant to leave their favorite toys,


    crying and asking their parents to buy them. The two looked at them all the way and smiled.


    "Vivian, do you envy the life of Barbie dolls?"


    "Of course, she is carefree. But sometimes she is more like a princess, which makes me feel distant."


    "Well, do you want to be a princess this time?"


    Austin asked indifferently, but he couldn''t help smiling.


    "What?" Vivian was confused. It was fun.


    "Mypany recently signed a big contract and held a celebration party with the partner. I''m inviting


    you to be my femalepanion. Are you willing to be my partner?" Austin stopped, turned his head


    and stared at her face with his deep eyes.


    "¡­¡­" Vivian stared at Austin in astonishment. Her curly eyshes cast a shadow on her eyes, which


    were a little simr to Jeffrey, but they were different.


    When Vivian met his deep eyes, she wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.

 Chapter 19 Unexpected

    Chapter 19 Unexpected


    Austin was looking forward to it. As long as Vivian agreed, she could put on the best clothes, stand in


    the dazzling light and enjoy the envious and jealous eyes of thousands of people. She would always


    live a life that others couldn''t. Wasn''t she a princess?


    He had never seen her holding a doll happily in her childhood, and how innocent she was when she


    dreamed of the good life of the princess.


    "Okay." Vivian said slowly with a smile on her face.


    Austin was surprised and nodded firmly.


    The two of them walked to the square unconsciously. The greenwn was full of people who were


    having a pic. The child raised the balloon high in the air and looked up while running. A child tripped


    and fell, but he stood up quickly and patted the mud on his body, smiling at his parents who were


    teaching him a lesson.


    He didn''t forget to tightly grasp the rope tied to the balloon in his hand. He put one hand beside his


    head and swore with a smile that he wouldn''t be naughty any more. Seeing his parents leave, he


    waved his hand to call his friends who were waiting aside, they started chasing and ying.


    "When we were children, we didn''t think too much. We just had meals and went to school every day. At


    night, we read little books in bed. We didn''t expect that we would have any obstacles in the future.


    Looking at the carefree smile of a child, make me felt very happy."


    The sun shone on Vivian''s face, leaving ayer of golden shadow on her curly eyshes. She gently


    blinked and looked very naughty. She said with a smile, and her dimples were deep.


    "Yes, what was your childhood like?"


    "Me?" After a pause, Vivian smiled slightly and said, "I don''t have a childhood. Do you believe me?"


    When she was a child, her mother died a long time ago, and her brother disappeared. At that time, her


    father was still the one who loved her the most. He crazily found her brother despite the cost of a lot of


    money. Every time he heard any news, he would immediately track it down, but in the end, he still got


    nothing.


    And Riley always bullied her. She acted like a spoiled child in front of her father, took away the beautiful


    clothes, forced the servants to speak for her, andined first. Kelly bullied her with the help of


    Kelly.


    At that time, she was still a little girl. At first, she was scared by Riley''s fearless behavior and didn''t dare


    to resist. Later, she gradually became numb. Without her father''s protection, she hid in a corner and


    watched themughing happily. She hid in her room and read silently.


    Later, she got excellent grades and was admitted to a key school. Her father finally valued her and took


    care of her from time to time, which was also the reason why Riley hated her more. She insisted that


    she wanted to study hard to please her father.


    Thinking of this, the light in Vivian''s eyes dimmed. She pretended to be fine and smiled at Austin.


    "I believe. I also good times and bad times in the Lu Family." Austin said word by word, with a firm look


    in his eyes. He frowned slightly. He didn''t like the depressed look of Vivian! He wanted to tell her that


    he was her brother, but it was not the right time yet.


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    He also remembered his childhood. He had one or two like-minded friends in the orphanage. They


    would notugh at his unreasonable dream. They apanied him to grow up, and receive good


    treatment in the Lu Family. He would never forget the kindness of the Lu Family all his life.


    He didn''t remember what had happened in his childhood untilter, but it was toote.


    It turned out that when Vivian was suffering the pain alone, he lived a life better than a king.


    "Well, I always think that except myself, all the children born in rich families are happy. They can get


    whatever they want with an unlimited amount of money. If they are bullied outside, someone will teach


    them a lesson and bury them for you."


    While saying that, Vivian held the belt of her bag tightly with her hands and forced a smile. She knew


    that he was not her brother. He was the descendant of the Lu Family, a respected big shot, and had


    nothing to do with her.


    She couldn''t even have thest fantasy. They were much different, but they were much alike. It was


    reallyplicated.


    "But poor children can also live a happy life, even if they always hungry. I would rather choose a poor


    family." Austin looked at the lively child in front of him with affection in his eyes.


    "I agree!" Vivian nodded her head and smiled at the children who were hiding behind her. She turned


    around to y with them. Austin also started running, holding Vivian''s hand.


    In the distance, a pair of beautiful eyes constantly nced at the scene in front of them, with an


    inexplicable smile in the bottom of his eyes.


    "Boss, this is an invitation. I think you''d better have a look at it in person." The assistant pushed the


    envelope to Jeffrey''s desk and put her hands behind her back.


    Normally, the CEO would reject many banquets of various sizes, but today''s invitation could not be


    underestimated. He could not make up his mind for a moment, so he had to ask the CEO to personally


    check it.


    Hearing this, Jeffrey raised his eyebrows. She wondered what kind of invitation it was that needed to


    be checked by himself? He slowly opened his mouth and pulled out a simple and borate invitation.


    The vigorous and powerful words were first shown in front of him - the Lu Group.


    He had indeed heard that the Lu Group was making great efforts to raise money and promote


    cooperation with bigpanies recently. It seemed that they were going to make a good name in the


    ranking list!


    Austin was a shrewd man. He didn''t like to put his good interests in front of him. He just liked to y


    tricks and make special things. He would secretly sign a contract with thepany and then hold a


    high-profile celebration party.


    He had never seen any banquet before, but he had to attend Austin''s show! He wanted topete


    with Austin in person.


    Jeffrey put the invitation lightly on the table andzily leaned against the leather chair. Staring at the


    invitation with his malicious and long eyes, he smiled ambiguously.


    He came up with a good idea!


    "I know. You can go ahead with your work. By the way, I have something to deal with this afternoon.


    You have to take good care of thepany. You''d better not call me if there is no emergency!" Jeffrey


    said coldly.


    The assistant looked at the sullen face of the president and nodded helplessly. The president was


    talking to him, but his eyes were looking at the other side. People who didn''t know him might think that


    he was talking to the air.


    Without thinking too much, he pushed the door open and left.


    Vivian received a call from Jeffrey. She was drinking milk tea leisurely in a cafe. She was still making a


    n, nning her goal and making some small requirements that she had to work hard to achieve in


    the future to enrich herself.


    His unreasonable and domineering request broke the beautiful and quiet personal time.


    Vivian pouted and looked out of the window from time to time. Then she lowered her head and touched


    the cover of the notebook.


    "Where are we going?"


    "I''ll take you to buy clothes."


    "What?" With her eyes wide open, Vivian was confused. Her clothes were so good that even a


    professional stylist couldn''t see her shorings. How could this man think she need new close?


    "No, thanks! I''m still wearing my clothes. I don''t need new ones!" She shouted and didn''t know what to


    do. She didn''t want to be a woman who was extravagant the money from a man. What was the


    difference between being a prostitute?


    "Do you have any formal clothes for some important asions?" Jeffrey turned her head and nced


    at her jeans and red stripe blouse.


    Sometimes, Vivian would try to match herself with the punk style. It was not bad to have a fresh and


    bright style, but this cloth was suitable for a gardener rather than ady who went to fancy parties.


    She could wear whatever she liked. She was not someone''s puppet.


    After weighing the pros and cons, Vivian was sure that she didn''t have any gorgeous clothes. Thinking


    of the party that she promised Austin, which was held by hispany, she though at least she should


    wear a dress.


    It was not bad to buy new clothes!


    "I have to attend a party. You must go with me!"


    "What?"


    "I''ll take you to try on the clothes and dress up. We''ll set out together in the evening." Speaking of this,


    Jeffrey''s eyes shed withcency. He could imagine how stunning she would be when she


    appeared in front of everyone.


    Before Vivian could exin, she was taken off her clothes and dressed up!


    That night, different walks of people invited by the Lu Group came one after another. They walked over


    the red carpet at the door and exchanged greetings with their partners.


    A party held by the Lu Group and the Pei Group had caused a sensation in the biggest hotel in the H


    City. Exquisite crystal lights, bright floor and priceless paintings could be seen everywhere in the spiral


    staircase.


    Riley tugged at her low cut dress and winked at Jay who was picking up the bottle.


    She attended the party as Jay''s date, but she didn''t know if Vivian was Austin''s date! How could that


    bitch get such an honor? She would rather destroy today''s good y than let Vivian seed.


    Jay and Austin clinked sses and drank them up politely. The two big shots at the main party today


    just gathered for a while, and then many guests came to greet them.


    "It seems that Mr. Lu is very busy today." Jay smiled and patted on Austin''s shoulder. When he was


    about to ask who his date was, he was distracted by Jeffrey, who just entered the room.


    Vivian wore a long strapless white dress which was very exquisite. The fresh and lovely makeup on her


    delicate face made her more radiant. She reached out and hooked Jeffrey, who was wearing a well cut


    ck suit, with a smile on her face.


    When she saw Austin, she looked at him apologetically. She didn''t expect that Jeffrey would take her to


    such an asion, and even broke the appointment with Austin. She felt very guilty.


    As soon as the two appeared, they attracted a lot of attention and became the focus of the field. It was


    rare that Mr. Shen, who had never shown up, even brought a date!


    "Sorry, Mr. Lu. I''mte." Jeffrey said indifferently. He nced at Austin''s calm face and deliberately held


    Vivian''s hand tightly.


    "This is my date, Vivian," Jeffrey looked at him meaningfully and said, "You have already know each


    other."


    "Mr. Lu." Vivian looked at him apologetically.


    "Just call me Austin. It''s so weird to call me Mr. Lu."


    Austin smiled. Just now, Vivian called in a hurry to tell him that she had broken the appointment, but he


    didn''t expect that she would appear at his banquet.


    Looking at the two having conversations, Jeffrey felt a little depressed.

 Chapter 20 A Blessing In Disguise

    Chapter 20 A Blessing In Disguise


    Seeing that the two of them were surrounded by their peers and discussed heatedly, it was difficult for


    a woman to interfere, so Vivian stood aside and tasted the delicious cake alone.


    Riley sneered and walked over. When she saw that everyone was looking at this bitch, she felt ten


    thousand more ufortable!


    "Bitch!" Due to the dim light, this ce became a little dark and mysterious. Few people came to see


    this ce. Riley seized this point and said boldly.


    "Shame on you toe to this ce!" If others know that we are here, what kind of headline news will


    they make?" Riley said ferociously.


    She didn''t want to be caught andpared with this bitch!


    "Mrs. Zheng, please behave yourself!" Putting down the te in her hand, Vivian red back, not to be


    outdone.


    Riley got angry when she heard the words "Mrs. Zheng"! She was also a member of the Pei Family.


    She lived in the Pei Family and use the things of the Pei Family then why couldn''t she be counted as a


    member of the Pei Family. And she was insulted by Vivian again!


    "Bitch! Which rich man do you hook up with to do this to me? Was it Austin? Or Jeffrey? You finally let


    go of Jay?"


    "Riley, don''t sling mud at me! I''m a decent person. How could I do such a thing? If you are really


    jealous of me, please don''t be so mean, okay?"


    "You!" With her eyes wide open, Riley couldn''t bear to see that Vivian had a reason to oppose her, so


    Riley reached out her hand and pped on her delicate face.


    Vivian turned her head to avoid it, but tripped over something behind her and fell backwards out of


    bnce.


    "Bang!" Vivian fell to the ground and knocked down a table of delicately prepared food and drinks.


    Desserts and wine were all scattered on the ground, and ss pieces were all over the ground. She


    stiffened on the ground and forgot her wound when she saw the mess.


    "Ah!"


    Riley was stunned. She didn''t mean to push her. Riley just wanted to p her and teach her a lesson!


    She stepped forward, trying to squat down and pretend to pass by, but Jeffrey took a step ahead. He


    took off his suit jacket and covered it on Vivian. He reached out and pressed the uneasy woman on his


    chest, and took her to the back door.


    Austin stopped and looked at the backs of the two. He frowned and looked in the direction of Riley.


    With a stiff smile, Riley ran to Jay and held his arm. Seeing the astonishment on his face, she gently


    leaned on his shoulder and said, "Honey, Vivian..."


    Vivian put her arms around Jeffrey''s neck tightly. It was the first time that she had seen everyone


    ming her. She was so helpless that no one would help her. Everyone was waiting tough at her.


    She was afraid that if Jeffrey wasn''t there, how would she deal with such an embarrassing situation?


    "Don''t think too much!" Jeffrey put her in the car, took off her high heels and frowned at her swollen


    ankle.


    Now it was not about who hurt her, but to deal with the wound first. Otherwise, the wound would be


    more serious if it was not taken care of!


    Jeffrey sat on the driver''s seat and stepped on the gas.


    When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor prepared by the assistant had already been waiting there.


    Looking at the man who rushed into the ward with a woman in his arms, they knew it was him.


    "You must cure her wound. If there is any scar left, you will not be able to stay here anymore!" Staring


    at the doctor in front of him, Jeffrey sat aside and watched the doctor bandage Vivian''s wound.


    "Her wound is not very serious. She just sprained the tendon. She will rest on the bed for a week


    temporarily. She will recover soon after taking medicine and getting massage on time." The doctor


    didn''t dare to look into Jeffrey''s eyes.


    "Okay." Jeffrey replied coldly. Looking at the bandaged wound on her ankle, he walked up to Vivian and


    asked, "Does it hurt?"


    "¡­¡­" Vivian stretched out her swollen foot, pouted and said nothing.


    She couldn''t get out of bed for a week! Even if she wanted to drink water, she had to be taken care of


    by others.


    "That''s good. You won''t run around." Jeffrey, on the other hand, was a little proud of himself. Thinking


    that he could feed her three meals every day, he felt warm in his heart.


    This is a blessing in disguise.


    Jeffrey picked her up and drove back to his vi.


    It waste at night. He cooked porridge and a smaller dish, carefully prepared it and put it on the te.


    When he took the food into the room, he found that the little woman on the bed had fallen asleep


    quietly. Her cherry lips were slightly pouted, and her eyshes trembled. Her eyebrows were wrinkled


    tightly, looking very uneasy.


    Jeffrey put down the te, stretched out her hand to smooth her eyebrows, lowered her head and


    skimmed over her forehead. After tidying up, he went to bed and helped her hold her restless feet,


    tightly hugging her to sleep.


    The next day, Jeffrey received a call from his assistant and knew that there were reporters surrounding


    thepany. When he got out of the car and walked into thepany gate, he was surrounded by a


    group of reporters. Cameras kept shing, and microphones were handed in front of him.


    "Mr. Shen, how do you feel about being on the headline? Do you think it''s inappropriate or it implied


    consent?"


    "Mr. Shen, have you already expected that you would get on the headline, so you brought a date to the


    party?"


    "Mr. Shen, will you hide the information about your date on purpose?"


    Jeffrey frowned unhappily and nced coldly at the aggressive reporters in front of her. He reached out


    for his work card and sneered, "Boulevard Entertainment? Don''t you want to get yourself fired?"


    Everyone was frightened by his words. They looked at each other and withdrew the microphone


    weakly, watching the tall and straight figure gradually disappear at the door.


    The assistant waved his hand and followed him closely.


    Jay watched the TV report, thinking about the news this morning.


    Jeffrey would never let anyone see Vivian. Although the party was high-profile, no one dared to take


    photos of him. Thest time something simr happened, Jeffrey just directly bought the news


    Who would expose the headline regardless of the big picture? Did this person want to make a hit? Or


    did this person have other intentions?


    If things went on like this, Vivian would suffer losses in the end anyway.


    Riley raised her eyebrows at her mother. She was surprised and pleased when she saw the cold face


    of Jeffrey on TV and the tall and straight back of him in the end.


    Jeffrey looked back at herself in confusion. Was he sure that she had made a mistake? Vivian was not


    stupid enough to ask him to deal with her. That would be easy! Riley smirked and felt sorry for Vivian.


    As soon as Jay left, Kelly got close to her daughter and asked happily, "Riley, how is it going? Is


    everything going well?"


    "Of course! I don''t know how could that bitch Vivian be so lucky? I thought she was Mr. Lu''s date and


    couldn''t leave with Mr. Lu if she was injured. I didn''t expect that she would appear with Jeffrey. It''s all


    her fault!"


    Riley took a sip of the tea and looked at Kellycently.


    Kelly grabbed the nket on her and knew that Riley must have made it! How much trouble did she


    save now?


    "Mom, what do you think Jeffrey will do to me?"


    "No, he won''t do anything to you for the time being. As long as you do these things secretly, he won''t


    have so much free time to investigate it? Besides, that bitch won''t go out to seduce men now!"


    "Mom!" Riley covered her mouth with her hand and smiled. Hearing her words, Riley felt relieved. The


    look in his eyesst night was so horrible, like the eyes of a greedy beast that wanted to tear her apart


    in the dark night.


    "Riley, it''s time for you to visit your father. You haven''t visited him for a long time. He must miss you!"


    "Okay! Mom, you are the best."


    Riley straightened her cor and coughed. Then she opened the door carefully with the lunch box in


    her hand. The nurse carefully bent down and wiped her father''s arms.


    "Let me do it! I don''t need you!" Riley grabbed the towel from her hand and said harshly.


    She hated this nurse very much. She didn''t like anything rted to Vivian! As if she wouldpete for


    her dad''s favor at any time.


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Hearing the voice, Albert opened his eyes slowly and saw Riley. He said slowly, "Riley."


    When Riley entered the room, she saw her father with his eyes closed. She thought he was sleeping,


    but now he called her name. She was really frightened, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if


    she had done something wrong and was caught.


    "Dad!" Riley turned around and put the lunch box on the table, leaving a bad look to the nurse.


    "Dad, are you feeling better? Have you taken good care of yourself? "


    "I''m fine. Don''t worry about me." Albert sat up straight, sighed and said softly.


    The nurse adjusted the pillow for him so that he could liefortably on the bed. Albert felt very warm


    and smiled at her. The nurse was used to his expression, so she pushed the door with a basin in her


    hand.


    Riley stared at her receding figure fiercely. Then she held out her hand to Albert and said, "Dad, I really


    feel sorry for you. You must get better soon. Are you hungry? I brought you some low fat and low


    sodium dishes."


    She just wanted to listen to her mother and take good care of her father. It was the best to get some


    information from him, and then tell her father a little bit to see how he reacted.


    "Okay, I just wanted to eat." Albert nodded.


    Riley smiled and opened the lunch box obediently. The delicious smell filled his nose. She set up a


    table in front of Albert and ced the dishes on the table.


    "Dad, let''s watch TV." As Riley spoke, she took the remote control and deliberately switched the


    channel to the news station.


    "Mr. Shen of the Shen Group rarely brings a date to the banquet held by the Lu Group and the Pei


    Group. The woman''s identity is mysterious, and only her back is photographed. I don''t know what he


    meant, Mr. Shen. Do you want to secretly show your love, or?


    The host exaggeratedly described the scene at that time, and several blurry photos were yed on the


    TV. It could be seen that the woman reached out to encircle the man''s neck. We can tell the two people


    were intimate.

 Chapter 21 Blame

    Chapter 21 me


    Riley nced at Albert''s face and found that he was calm. She was surprised. Did her father know it


    before?


    "Dad, I I''ll transfer to another channel right away!" Riley pressed the remote control in a hurry and


    observed the look on his face.


    "No, thanks. I''m in the hospital. It''s good for me to know more about the current situation. Put down the


    remote control."


    Albert said unhurriedly. The Lu Group and the Pei Group had such a great cooperation. He also knew


    one or two things about the banquet, but he didn''t know whether Vivian was seriously injured? At that


    time, the witness was Riley. Would she know the truth?


    "Riley, you were also there at that time. It is said that you were the first one to see Vivian get hurt. How


    was she?"


    "She might have sprained her ankle. I wanted to help her up, but I didn''t expect that she would be


    picked up by Jeffrey before me. The two of them left first. As one of the representatives of the Pei


    Group, I couldn''t leave temporarily, so I didn''t know what happenedter."


    Riley said in a low voice. She didn''t expect her father to care about Vivian. Was it because his


    impression of Vivian had improved a lot, or was there another reasons?


    She didn''t dare to jump to a conclusion, but the most important thing now was to say something more


    so that her father could "know" the real color of that bitch!


    "Dad Although Vivian has known Jeffrey for a long time, I didn''t expect that she knows Mr. Lu! Besides,


    Vivian has a good rtionship with him. They seem to be very intimate in the eyes of outsiders. I''m


    afraid that Vivian will do something stupid..."


    "Dad! She hates me so much. She did such a bad thing to me in the past. She seems to have reflected


    a lot after being taught a lesson by you. But will she want to hook up with a rich sugar daddy to show


    off to me, orpete for the shares of the Pei Group? Dad! We really can''t sit still and wait for this to


    happen!"


    "Whether it''s good for Vivian or not, we should point it out, shouldn''t we?" Riley said excitedly, staring at


    Albert''s eyes. Her beautiful big eyes were full of tears.


    The rtionship between the bitch Vivian and her father was really unstable, not to mention that she


    had caused her father to be hospitalized before, and Alex had to lie in the hospital.


    Albert was a little stunned, with his eyes wide open and full of majesty.


    Last time when he visited Alex in the hospital, she really felt sorry for him. He had to stay in the hospital


    at such a young age for the rest of his life! He felt heartbroken to see his bright future wasted like this!


    But what he cared more about was Vivian''s thoughts. She was so stubborn that she hired a nurse who


    was good at taking care of people for him. From time to time, she endured the cold eyes of Riley and


    insisted on visiting him in the hospital. The nurse often talked about her with him.


    He didn''t know his daughter well enough yet!


    Riley was still standing here and ming her instead of visiting her sister''s. If she wanted to teach her


    sister well, she should do this when her sister get better. Vivian was weak and sick, but she often keep


    this to herself. When she was a child, she had a fever to thirty-nine degrees in the middle of the night


    and almost burned her brain!


    She even said she was fine stubbornly. If the nanny hadn''t mentioned it in time, everyone would have


    forgotten that there was such a child at home.


    Albert was a little hesitant. He looked at Riley firmly and snapped, "It''s her fault. You are also wrong


    now! As an elder sister, shouldn''t she go to the hospital to visit her as soon as possible? Why are you


    still standing here! If you have something to do with her injury, just wait and see!"


    Seeing her father pointing at her and scolding her, Riley looked at him in disbelief and stood still at a


    loss.


    "Dad, your health is important. Don''t say anything." Riley stepped forward, held her father''s arm and


    patted his back gently. Hatred shed through her eyes.


    "If I didn''t know the truth first, how would you tell me? Do you want to see your sister make a fool of


    herself? Herst name was Pei, and she was a member of the Pei family! You always think about


    yourself and want to be good for her. Is that really for her! You know the answer clearly."


    Albert turned around to dodge Riley.


    "Dad! I''m also a member of the Pei Family. Why can''t I have the surname Pei? You all look down upon


    me! You said you loved me, but you meant that you loved the daughter of your dead ex-wife more."


    Riley sneered. Although her family name was insignificant, it was different to live in the Pei Family!


    Although Vivian had been neglected by many people, the servants at home dared not do anything to


    her, and she had to pay to please them so that they were willing to ept her identity!


    Outsiders thought she was so lucky to be born in the Pei Family. What was ridiculous was that they had


    the samest name as her mother.


    She had been jealous of Vivian since she was a child. Vivian was smarter and more beautiful than her.


    No matter what Vivian did, Vivian was better than her. The umted jealousy became stronger and


    stronger, and it turned into hatred! She just hated her. How could Vivian live a better life than herself?


    She was fed up with ttering her father hypocritically and swallowing insult and humiliation to the


    servants who were gossiping about her behind her back. But now, she had the bargaining chip of Jay!


    She had her mother on her side!


    "You!" Albert shook his head and didn''t say anything more. He put down his waving hands in the air


    and said slowly, "You can go back first. I''m tired."


    As soon as the nurse opened the door, she heard the excited voice of Albert. She quickly ran up to him,


    let him drink a few mouthfuls of tea, and adjusted a suitable angle for him to lie down.


    "Mrs. Zheng, please go back first. Mr. Pei has just finished his physical examination today. He is very


    tired. Please forgive him."


    Riley frowned unhappily, nced at the nurse in front of her coldly, and pushed the door open.


    The nurse knew that she had something to tell him, so she lowered her head slightly and followed her.


    Looking at the back of the two people, Albert''s eyes were deep and bottomless.


    "I warn you not to act rashly. I know what you have done. You are sent by Vivian. I have to keep an eye


    on you. If anything happens to my father, I will definitely be the first one toe to you!"


    Riley stared at her fiercely. Her face was so familiar that even her mother had to pay attention to it.


    Where did this womene from? But her mother didn''t tell her the truth. She had no choice but to


    keep an eye on her for the time being.


    "Although I don''t understand what you mean, as a nurse, I know the basic moral principles."


    "Good!"


    After saying that, Riley sneered at her and left without looking back, gradually disappearing at the


    corner.


    The nurse shook her head helplessly and pushed the door open.


    "Hello? Mom, what''s the matter?" Riley said coquettishly.


    "Riley, I saw that Jay was with a model? Go and have a look. Don''t act rashly. Let''s see what''s going on


    first." Clenching her fists nervously, Kelly stared through the window at Jay who was talking intimately


    with a woman.


    The model even put her hand on Jay''s body and pouted at his face. The people on the other side


    pped their hands. Although it seemed like they were filming, there was no need for Jay to appear in


    such an asion. Was there anything wrong? No, she must tell her daughter.


    With her eyes wide open, Riley hurriedly asked for the address and hailed a taxi.


    At this time, it would be awful if something unexpected happened! Riley rubbed her head in pain, "Can


    you drive faster? Don''t you see that I''m in a hurry? I can give you money. Don''t wait for the red light!"


    She was in a hurry to see the scene!


    The driver had no choice but to meet such an unreasonable passenger. Looking at her sweet


    appearance and her action and tone, he really didn''t like her. Was this the so-called duplicity?


    He had no choice but to carefully respond to her violent and irritable reaction.


    When they arrived at the destination, Riley saw a group of people gathering under a sun umbre and


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    talking about something. The dedicated camera was ced right next to them, and several scantily


    dressed and sexy women were clinging to a man, smiling at the camera.


    Fortunately, they were shooting an advertisement! She smiled and raised her eyebrows. ''Perhaps Jay


    is just discussing with the director about the preparation. But where is he?'' It was a good chance to tell


    everyone that she was the wife!


    Riley smoothed her hair and threw the money to the driver. She cast a cold nce at him and got off


    the car slowly.


    However, on the side of the unremarkable grass, Jay was standing there, holding his mobile phone and


    talking. Behind him stood a beautiful woman whom she was jealous of. She sometimes stretched out


    her hand to draw the distance between the two, and sometimes leaned behind him to touch his back!


    Riley squinted her eyes and walked to the front wearily in her high heels. She stared at Jay and smiled


    at the woman after he hung up the phone. She hadn''t seen Jay''s smile for a long time, so she was


    surprised to see his face now.


    As soon as she walked to the other side, Jay followed the woman to the sun umbre beside. He took


    over the water and drank it, followed by a group of people''s whistle.


    "You should be together!"


    "Way to go, boss."


    "You are such a cute couple."


    Riley called Jay. He didn''t answer her phone until several busy tones.


    "Honey, where are you now?"


    "What else can I do if I''m not working?"


    After saying that, he frowned tightly. Riley''s tone was really suspicious. "Are you followed me?"


    "How could you say that? I just happened to pass by."


    Seeing Jay looking around, Riley hung up the phone and walked to the grass.


    "Honey, are you tired? There are so many beautiful girls here. Nice!" Riley raised her eyebrows and


    looked at the camera team who was shooting the advertisement.


    "Stop it, honey. I''m just discussing about the preparation of activities. Don''t think too much."


    She had to think too much!


    "Really? Was it work to flirt with a beauty? Why don''t I know that your work is so easy? Jay, I almost


    forget thest time when I saw your smile!"


    "Enough! Don''t mix personal affairs with work. Let''s talk about it at home. I have to discuss it with the


    director now, OK? Will you understand?" Jay held Riley''s shoulders tightly and looked at her in the


    eyes.


    He had just received a call from his father-inw and he was very upset!

 Chapter 22 Bottom Line Challenge (Part One)

    Chapter 22 Bottom Line Challenge (Part One)


    He was afraid that if he continued listening to Riley, his bottom line would be challenged again,


    especially he was still at work!


    "You don''t want to talk to me anymore?" Riley said coldly, with a smile at the corners of her mouth.


    How ridiculous! If her mother hadn''t told her about it, she wouldn''t have known that her husband used


    his job as an excuse to lead such a wonderful life outside the family. Riley insisted that Jay just wanted


    to get rid of her so that he could continue being with those beauties!


    "You wouldn''t do this to me before! Since Vivian appeared, you have been treating me coldly. I don''t


    know what I have done wrong. Honey, let''s start over, okay? I won''t quarrel with you anymore..." Riley


    begged.


    "Vivian, Vivian. You kept mentioning about her. I just want to have dinner and be with myself. Why did


    you keep saying that I miss her? You also believed that I miss her when I go home with the smell of


    alcohol in my social activities. In my opinion, it''s you who always started the conflict between us first!"


    Comined Jay with anger.


    "Honey!" With a ferocious look on her face, Riley pushed him away and said, "Have you been seduced


    by Vivian already? You never yelled at me before. I don''t understand. We love each other so much, but


    now..."


    Jay didn''t say anything. He just fixed his eyes on the tearful Riley.


    Just now, his father-inw''s call made him more and more confused!


    Last night''s banquet was full of joy. No one had expected that there would be an incident. Of course,


    Jeffrey wouldn''t let go of the person who had hurt Vivian, whether it was intentional or unintentional. No


    one could escape the responsibility.


    Now the Pei Group''s economy had just been maintained to a better position, and no mistake was


    allowed. What''s more, Jeffrey had always been watching them, so no one could let go of their vignce.


    His father-inw''s meaning was no longer clear. Although he asked about thepany''s affairs, he


    also wanted to ask about the situation of Vivian and the unreasonable disturbance of Riley.


    "Tell me, does what happened to Vivian have anything to do with you?" asked Jay seriously.


    Riley denied right away. "No! It doesn''t."


    "You promise! Otherwise, if it has anything to do with you, I can''t even protect you!" Jay warned her.


    "You don''t believe me?" Riley was so anger that she couldn''t hit Jay''s chest. "Do you have a


    conscience? I''m your wife. You''d rather believe others than believing me."


    "I will find out the truth, and you can exin it to meter. It''s not my own business. Do you think


    Jeffrey will only target me?" Grabbing her hands, Jay said.


    Riley was out of breath. She stopped hitting his chest and looked at him with a guilty conscience.


    At that night, how could another person happen to see her and Vivian in the dim light? Only half of the


    shadow could be seen. Was Jay threatening her? He even mentioned Jeffrey to threaten her!


    The e-mail she sentst time was not anonymous, so he naturally knew what she meant and whether


    she wanted to be on her side was unknown.

    "Have you made up your mind? The Pei Group has juste back into the normal operation. If


    anything goes wrong, your father and I will not forgive you!"


    "I..." Riley bit her lips and wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. When she heard


    Jay''s warning tone, her heart suddenly beat fast. "Honey, I just pushed her by ident. I didn''t expect


    her to fall all of a sudden..."


    "All right!" Jay interrupted her, staring at her tearful face with his eyes full of anger. He should have


    thought it was really her!


    "Let''s stop quarreling. You can go back first. Let''s talk about it at home."


    "Honey..." Looking at Jay''s receding figure, Riley sneered.


    After all, she was still not as good as his first love. How could that Vivian be so capable to win the


    hearts of so many men and flirt with her first love''s business partner? Was she still acting purposely


    and Jay was her target?


    How dare her! She was really spoiled by her sugar daddy, wasn''t she? Did Jeffrey know about it?


    As soon as they got home, Kelly walked up to her daughter and held her daughter''s hand tightly.


    Seeing the coldness in Riley''s eyes, she was shocked at first. She couldn''t wait to know the truth!


    "Riley, sit down and have some water." Kelly put the cup in front of her and watched her drink it


    unhappily.


    Then, Riley put the cup on the table heavily, making a "bang" sound. The sound was harsh, which


    made Kelly frown unhappily.


    "Mom, I really forgot to check the lunar calendar to see if it''s my lucky day today! First, I went to the


    hospital and had a big quarrel with Dad. Then I went to see Jay and wanted him tofort me. But


    what I saw was that he flirted with a beautiful woman happily. Instead, he urged me to leave!"


    "What! Did you quarrel with your father? Did Jay do anything wrong?" Kelly shouted with her eyes wide


    open.


    "Mom..." Riley threw herself into her mother''s arms and curled her lips, "Why don''t I have a family


    name of Pei? Obviously, Dad doesn''t take me as his daughter! He also defended that bitch Vivian, and


    scolded me for not doing my duty as an older sister. "


    "Riley, my dear," Kelly gently patted her on the back. "Your father''s condition is not stable. You have to


    listen to him and take your time. If you two are in a stalemate, that bitch will get the upper hand."


    "Although she is also lying at home and can''t go out for a while, we have to be careful. Don''t mind your


    family name is not Pei. Your father treasures you very much! He hates that heartless bitch. Don''t


    worry."


    "Mom, do you think Dad has any further n for her? Does he want to please her or make it up to her?


    Will Dad know what we have done..." asked Riley.

    Chapter 23 Bottom Line Challenge (Part Two)


    "Shh!" Kelly stopped her daughter''s uneasiness, held her hand tightly, and gently rubbed it.


    She didn''t allow herself to make any mistake at this moment. Now that Albert was old, it was time for


    him to consider the issue of the heir. And now he trusted Jay very much. What a good thing!


    However, as a result, everything was in a mess with the appearance of Vivian again. She not only had


    a rtionship with Jeffrey, but also had an affair with Austin. If Vivian wanted to do anything to her and


    her daughter, it would be a piece of cake for her.


    Riley couldn''t suffer such a loss after she married Jay. She must keep Jay''s position and the trust of


    Albert! Kelly nned secretly.


    "Stop saying that. Only you and I know that! There is no third person!" Kelly snapped. She was afraid


    that these words would be heard by a third person.


    Seeing her mother yelling at her, Riley knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded silently.


    "Mom, what should I do? I really can''t stand the grievance, so I replied dad a few words. Now..."


    "Riley, listen to me. Apologize to your father another day and take some practical actions to prove that


    you are a good sister." Kelly raised her eyebrows and said slowly.


    Since Albert wanted his daughter to act like an elder sister, Riley should do it as a "good" older sister!


    Riley looked at her mother in disbelief, frowned and asked in confusion, "Mom, how can I be wronged


    topromise with that bitch? You know, we don''t like each other!"


    "Silly girl, why don''t you understand what I mean? You can act on it and show it to your father! Now,


    you have to deal with your rtionship with Jay first. What''s going on between you two? "


    "I see!" Riley nodded, with acent look in her eyes. Thinking of the dispute with Jay just now, she


    was so angry that she wanted to find something to vent her anger!


    "Did he just get distracted by Vivian? Why did he yell at me and insist on asking me to go home? You


    know, he doesn''t go home with the smell of alcohol every night? How can we have any spare time to


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    talk to each other! I was so angry that I... "


    "What did you say? Vivian was injured in the banquet. Does it have anything to do with you?" Asked


    Kelly.


    "Mom, I have no choice. What she said at that time made me itch to eat her alive! I just wanted to give


    her a p to make her reflect, but she dodged and fell to the ground, knocking into a table. Mom, the


    light was dim at that time, and no one would know it was me!" Said Riley firmly.


    "As long as she doesn''t tell others, no one would know. I know now. Don''t be afraid. I''m here. No one


    dares to oppose you." Kelly promised andforted her daughter.


    Riley nodded, nestling in her mother''s arms, with a meaningful smile in her eyes.


    "Riley, you''d better be a good wife, a dear sister now. After this period of time, they will let go of the


    knots in their hearts. At that time, we will pour all our umted hatred on the recovered Vivian. You


    must behave well in front of Jay, okay?"


    Kelly touched her daughter''s soft hair and said kindly, with love in her eyes.


    No one could touch her daughter! She had worked hard to raise her up and never beat or scolded her,


    and Riley couldn''t stand any grievance. She was a little irritable, but now the most important thing was


    the current problems. That bitch was always like her mother, the same cheap!


    Kelly wondered how many tricks Vivian had yed to seduce a man behind the back. Since Jay had


    married Riley, Jay couldn''t fall in love with Vivian again.


    Kelly sneered in her heart.


    Lying on the bed, Vivian put up aputer table and kept moving the mouse on herptop. The


    browser showed the news about the Shen Group on the headlines.


    She frowned slightly. Because of her injuryst night, she took a hasty stand, so that some paparazzi


    had the chance to take action. They happened to take a picture of her and Jeffrey together, and the


    entertainment news made the headlines. She didn''t know how much negative impact it would have to


    Jeffrey...


    ''Should I call him?'' Vivian thought to herself. Then she turned off theputer and lifted her foot in


    ster. It was time for him to cook for her. She''d better wait for him.


    Hesitant, Vivian took out her phone and looked at the lightened screen. It was Adam, who naughtily


    pointed at the side face of Jeffrey, whose mouth was full of bread.


    At that time, she took this photo because she saw that Adam was very cute and wanted to take a


    photo.


    Because of the child, the two of them were still entangled. She would only make troubles to Jeffrey.


    There would be no love between the two of them. They could only make use of each other. She would


    make use of him to give the child an identity as a father. What was he going to do with her?


    She didn''t want to deceive herself at all. She just wanted to leave with Adam, but she couldn''t get rid of


    Jeffrey. Thinking of this, Vivian felt a lump in her throat and pulled the corner of her mouth to encourage


    herself not to cry, but her tears still fell down like beads dropping off the string.


    It was out of control.


    ''Don''t cry, Vivian! If you keep crying, everyone would look down upon you!'' Vivianforted herself.


    "Ring, ring, ring..." A familiar ringtone came.


    Seeing the caller ID on the screen, Vivian sniffed. She couldn''t be defeated at this time!


    Then she answered the phone. "Vivian, it''s me." A voice said from the other end.

 Chapter 24 You Are Crying (Part One)

    Chapter 24 You Are Crying (Part One)


    "Yes..." Hearing the gentle voice, Vivian felt very bitter and tried to hold back her tears.


    "Are you crying? What''s up? Vivian?"


    Asked Austin anxiously. The more anxious he was, the more tears Vivian dropped. She couldn''t control


    it at all. Shortly, she sniffed and smiled at herself, answering, "I''m fine."


    "Vivian, if you need anything, just tell me. We are friends, aren''t we?" Austin stood up straight and


    walked to the window, looking at the busy road.


    He made the call to see if she was feeling better then, but when he heard her heavy nasal voice, he felt


    bad!


    Austin walked to the cab and opened the drawer. A rectangr box appeared in it. It was the Barbie


    doll suit that Vivian boughtst time. She had something urgent to deal with, so she put it here.


    He still remembered that she had a big smile on her face when they were apartst time. But now, he


    could image how she forced a smile on her small face, because she didn''t want others to see through


    her mind.


    "No, I''m fine. I''m very well. Why are you calling me today?" Vivian''s voice came from the other end of


    the phone.


    "I''m really sorryst night. I couldn''t leave. Have you gone to the hospital? How are you now?" Asked


    Austin.


    Vivian smiled and felt warmth in her heart when someone cared about her. "I sprained my ankle and


    now I''m in ster. Everything''s fine just it''s a little inconvenient for me to move. Besides, it''s me who


    should apologize. I broke my promise and didn''t know what happened, so I..."


    "Well, we both made mistakes, didn''t we?"


    If they continue talking about those stuff, Vivian might have a wild guess again. The most important


    thing now was to let her have a good rest.


    "By the way, Vivian, how about I send you the doll you left herest time?"


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "Okay! That would be great!" Thinking of the Barbie doll in the same dress with her, Vivian smiled. She


    didn''t know how Jeffrey had arranged it. If her baby came back and saw her like this, he would be very


    sad, wouldn''t he?


    "Okay, have a good rest. I''ll visit you another day." Austin hung up the phone after they said bye to


    each other.


    Standing at the door, Jeffrey felt a sharp pain in his heart. He couldn''t tell how painful he felt when he


    heard Vivian''s nasal voice.


    But she could still smile and said she was fine. In fact she was secretly wiping her tears.


    "You..." Seeing the man at the door and the te he was holding, Vivian smiled. She had forgotten that


    this man woulde to take care of her. She was so stupid. Did he hear the conversation?


    "Do you want to go to the bathroom?" Jeffrey asked expressionlessly, as if he had heard nothing.


    Hearing that, Vivian was stunned and embarrassed. How could he be so shameless as soon as he saw


    her?


    "I want to eat."


    Jeffrey nodded slightly and fed her spoon by spoon. He even blew on the hot porridge to cool it down.


    Vivian stared at him and ate with an unnatural way. What an enviable face! His skin was so delicate


    that it could be easily blew through. How could a man have such skin? Thinking of this, she was in a


    trance and ate porridge like a robot.


    When she saw Jeffrey''s erged handsome face, she realized that she was absent-minded. She held


    her breath and pretended as if nothing had happened. She didn''t want to be exposed. Jeffrey suddenly


    got too close to her. She tried to dodge.


    He picked up the rice from the corner of her mouth and asked, "What are you thinking about?"


    "Humph!" Only then did Vivian realize that she had been molested. She rolled her eyes at him and


    simply ignored him.


    Time passed, and the two of them tacitly didn''t mention what had happened just now. When Jeffrey


    walked out with a te in her hand, Vivian''s heart was still beating fast. What was she nervous about?


    It was so strange...


    After he hung up the phone, Austin smiled. Judging from Vivian''s tone, she was in a better mood. But


    how could he send it to her? She was not in the hospital.


    Jay rushed to see Austin as soon as he got the phone call from him.


    He also had something important to say in a hurry. Although the time was limited, someone had to take


    the responsibility for what had been done, right? He frowned at the thought of Riley.


    Looking at his sad face, Austin asked in confusion, "Jay, what''s the matter? Please tell me. Let''s figure


    it out together."


    "You are also investigating Vivian''s incident, aren''t you?" Jay asked.


    "Yes, I have to find out the truth! But now, I can''t find any clue. It was too chaotic at that time. If I had


    investigated it as soon as possible, I wouldn''t have stood here and beenughed at by the people


    behind it!"


    Vivian was his sister. How could he allow others to bully her! He knew that Vivian would never say it out


    ording to her personality, but he had to know the truth.


    "Austin, I have also been involved in the investigation. Like you, there is no clue, but I a few things


    relevant to the truth." Jay frowned and said firmly.


    ''Does he mean that he can''t find out any information, but he knows the truth? Was it...'' Austin thought


    to himself.


    "Yes, it''s Riley, my wife." Jay told him.


    "Really? I should have expected that."


    Jay took a ss of water and drank it up. Cold water poured into his throat, bringing coolness.


    Jeffrey might not have any clue now, but as long as he knew that it was Riley who did it, he would not


    let her go easily. Everyone knew that Jeffrey was temperamental, and even for the sake that Riley was


    Vivian''s sister, it would be useless.


    What''s more, Riley had said something evil to Vivian. It was hard to deal with it!

 Chapter 25 You Are Crying (Part Two)

    Chapter 25 You Are Crying (Part Two)


    "What do you think?" Asked Austin. Since Jay rushed to his office with bad mood, he might have some


    ns already.


    "I''m thinking that maybe I can take this opportunity to let Riley reflect on her behaviors. She said that


    she didn''t mean to do that. Jeffrey would never listen to her nor believe her, but maybe he could let go


    of her." Said Jay slowly while thinking.


    "You know, it''s just a possibility." Austin frowned. He didn''t expect things to be soplicated. Riley


    was a scheming woman with two faces.


    "I married her for some unspeakable reasons. Vivian has already hated me in her heart. I have no


    choice. I have to do it, and I can only do it. I will find a way. By the way, you called me toe here.


    What''s up?"


    Austin looked at Jay''s face. He was the first love of his sister, and the rtionship between the two


    must be very close. Then what Jay had done must have a reason he couldn''t tell.


    "Jay, days ago Vivian left something here with me. I''m afraid you have to help me pass it to her."


    "Okay, I''ll give it to Jeffrey and ask him to pass it to her." After saying that, Jay looked at the Barbie doll


    suit in front of him in surprise and was stunned for a few seconds. He didn''t take it until Austin wrapped


    it up with Kraft paper.


    It turned out that Vivian could still buy this kind of toy. She still kept young on mind. Barbie dolls were


    the most idol of every girl when they were young. She still remembered that Riley used to y with a


    Barbie doll in front of him and said it was beautiful.


    Now it looked really beautiful. The Barbie doll was dressed in simple work clothes and decorated with


    small flowers and nts. It was very cute.


    "She likes it very much. You must keep it well. Although it''s uncertain whether Jeffrey could pass it to


    her if you give it to him, you still need to have a try." Speaking of this, an unreadable smile shed


    across Austin''s eyes.


    He had already seen through Jeffrey''s mind towards Vivian. He had known something between the two


    from the investigation. It was indeed shocking. It turned out that such a thing had happened between


    them before. How sad could Vivian be at that time!


    It was his fault as a brother that he didn''t protect her well! He would never let Vivian get hurt again! ''No


    matter what bad things Riley wants to do again, I won''t let go of her easily even if she married Jay.''


    Austin thought.


    In the parking lot.


    Jay sat on the driver''s seat, staring at the exit in front of him. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and saw


    a tall and handsome figure walking towards him. He nced at Jay and sat on the passenger seat.


    "Mr. Jay, you are so terribly idle." Jeffrey said to him as soon as he sat down.


    Jay turned his head to look at Jeffrey''s gloomy face and smiled.


    "Mr. Jeffrey, Ie here today to apologize to you and Vivian. How is Vivian doing? Is she still in


    hospital?"


    Jeffrey frowned with displeasure. She listened to Jay impatiently and said, "She''s fine. Mr. Jay,e


    straight to the point. I don''t like people to waste time. We are businessmen and time is precious."


    As soon as he got the phone call, he went to the parking lot to see him not because he wanted to hear


    his nonsense!


    Hearing Jeffrey''s mean words, Jay smiled helplessly. Yes, he indeed didn''t have the qualifications to


    It was enough as long as Vivian was fine. Obviously, Jeffrey didn''t want to talk to him anymore. If he


    continued, Jeffrey''s impatience would only turn into anger. At that time, he really had no chance.


    "Well, since Mr. Jeffrey''s time is precious, I''ll go straight to the point. Please make sure to give it to


    Vivian."


    Jeffrey took a rectangr box held in Kraft paper and looked at it confusedly. Did Jaye to ask him


    to give it to Vivian? What would it be inside?


    He still couldn''t stand the rtionship between Riley and Jay, so when he saw something or someone


    rted to Riley, he couldn''t hold his thoughts of beating him or her. When he arrived at the vi in the


    morning, he heard Vivian''s crying and saw her red eyes. He felt terrible in his heart!


    He wouldn''t stop until he found out who was behind all this.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "Of course I will. But Vivian has already been hurt, and there is more or less a shadow in her heart. I


    will find out who is the maniptor behind it. If Mr. Jay has found anything, please also tell me." said


    Jeffrey coldly.


    If Jay had known that it was Riley, Jay should have tried his best to protect her. But now Jay didn''t do


    that at all. He wanted Riley to be punished bit by bit!


    "Sure..." Before Jay finished his words, Jeffrey only left a back to him. Hisst words were no longer


    clear. Jeffrey warned him and Riley not to challenge his bottom line again and again.


    Looking at his back, Jay couldn''t calm down for a long time. He still had a lot of things to deal with.


    ''Vivian, I''ve wronged you before. After a while, when everythinges to light...''


    When Derrick received Austin''s call, he immediately went to hispany. Seeing that there was only


    Austin in the office, he put down his backpack and sat on the sofa with his hands crossed.


    When he heard Aus'' tone just now, Derrick felt something different. If there was not something urgent,


    Aus would never lose his manner. After all, he was usually elegant and elegant. It was difficult to see


    him as anxious as him!

 Chapter 26 Flying a Kite

    Chapter 26 Flying a Kite


    As soon as Austin stepped in the office, he said, "Derrick, I have to ask you for a favor. It seems that


    you are not busy. That''s good."


    "What? Did I tell you I''m not busy?" Derrick was unhappy to hear that.


    "You came here, and you''ve arrived pretty soon." Austin said indifferently with a smile on his face. He


    had something to ask Derrick for help, but Derrick''s weakness was that it depended on his mood.


    Austin was really not sure if he had time or mood.


    "Come on, just say what you want to say. Is it about the beautifuldyst time?" Derrick crooked his


    finger at him and winked at him.


    "Come with me." Austin walked in front of Derrick and hinted him to follow him. Derrick shrugged


    helplessly and followed him. If he didn''t go, he would be dragged by Austin to death.


    In the hospital.


    A nurse gently tucked Albert in the quilt. Seeing that he was still awake, she wondered why he was so


    abnormal today.


    "Do you need me to call the doctor?" The nurse asked softly.


    "No, thanks. I''m thinking about something now. If I stay in a daze for a while, everyone will be


    surprised. I''m really old..." Squinting slightly, Albert sighed.


    He thought as long as Abby stayed by his side, she would force him to recover. Now thepany had


    been running normally and he didn''t need to extra energy to take care of it, but there were many small


    things.


    "In fact, I envy you. No matter how I sigh or stay in a daze, no one will care about me. You should be


    content. You are so lucky to have such a thoughtful child as Vivian." The nurse said with a smile.


    Kelly stood in front of the door and heard the conversation. She couldn''t help but grab her bag tight.


    When did they be so intimate and even talk about life?


    "I have wronged Vivian before. I don''t know how painful her heart will be. I''m old and confused. I don''t


    know any proper way to talk..." Albert sighed.


    Kelly couldn''t stand it anymore. She was afraid that Albert would talk about that bitch Vivian. She came


    here just to put in a good word for Riley, but as a result, she heard something she didn''t want to hear in


    her life.


    Then she pushed the door open and walked into the ward. "Honey." Kelly smiled and nced at the


    nurse coldly. Then she said to Albert with a smile, "I made some porridge. Eat it while it''s hot."


    When Albert was about to stand up, the nurse went up to support him naturally. This dutiful action was


    considered a taboo in Kelly''s eyes!


    "Let me do it. You can go to do something else." Kelly interrupted the nurse impatiently and held


    Albert''s arm. After the nurse left, she turned around and opened the lunch box. The smell was good,


    but Albert had no appetite.


    "Honey, drink it." Kelly took a spoonful of rice soup and put it in front of Albert, indicating him to open


    his mouth and drink it.


    "Forget it. I''ll drink itter. I don''t have any appetite now." Albert turned away his head.


    Kelly''s face was stiff, but she regained herposure the next second. She closed the lunch box and


    held Albert''s hand, "How are you feeling recently? Are you feeling better? If you have nothing else to


    do, you can go out for a walk. Let me take you there."


    "I just walked around outside. What are you doing here?" Albert''s eyes slightly narrowed and his face


    was leaning against the pillow.


    "What? Why can''t Ie to see you? Last time Riley came to see you, I know that you had a big fight


    with each other. You also know that Riley is still a naive girl. Don''t take her words seriously."


    Albert opened his eyes and stared at Kelly. He had never thought that this woman around him were


    good at acting. He couldn''t tell whether Kelly''s smile was sincere or hypocritical. For the first time, he


    felt a little scared, but he couldn''t understand.


    "How old is Riley? She was already married. Why was she still acting like a child? Do you still want to


    put in a good word for her? I''m really pissed off by her, but she didn''t do anything but cried to you, did


    she?" Albert coughed.


    "No..." Kelly patted him on the back. How could she exin? What was the real action? Would he want


    Riley to visit that bitch Vivian?


    Albert would never yell at her like that before. Just as his daughter said, he was really obsessed with


    Vivian. How could he be so stupid? She had been his wife for many years!


    Or was it because he had a nurse who looked a little like his dead ex-wife? Then he thought he could


    leave her and Riley. Well, the nursing worker even put in a good word for that bitch in front of Albert.


    Everything made sense!


    "Honey, don''t be angry. Don''t be so mad at yourself. I mean, Riley still retained her former character.


    She argued with you because she couldn''t stand your anger for a while. Now she has known that she


    was wrong. A few days ago..." Kelly kept exining.


    "She is crying to me, but she cares more that she doesn''t have a surname of Pei, doesn''t she?" Kelly


    carefully looked at Albert''s face and found that his eyes were so sharp that they could kill her.


    "She just cares about the same family name. She doesn''t think about anything else. Now she should


    go to see Vivian. In fact, Riley has been doing the responsibility as an older sister, but she has never


    told us. She has been silently contacting Vivian."


    "Even if she isughed at and insulted by Vivian, I really feel sorry for her. About Vivian... I don''t mean


    she is bad, but sometimes she is too mean..." Kelly wiped her tears and shook her head.


    Albert didn''t say anything. He also did something wrong, but what Riley had done was really annoying!


    He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I don''t care about it anymore. It was my fault as well. Forget it.


    Don''t mention it again. You have to tell Riley that she must be a good old sister."


    "I know." Kelly smiled, with a sh ofcency in her eyes.


    After Albert had finished drinking the porridge, Kelly pushed the door open with the lunch box and ran


    into the nurse outside the yard.


    The nurse nodded politely and was about to walk over, but Kelly stopped her, "Don''t go."


    "What? What''s up, Mrs. Kelly?"


    "I..." Kelly gave her a smile. All of a sudden, her hostility to the nurse vanished into thin air. "I just want


    to ask you about my husband''s recent situation."


    The nurse nodded and the two walked on the path outside the hospital.


    "Mr. Albert has been doing a good physical examination recently. The doctor said that he needs to be


    recuperated. It depends on the situation in a few days, and you can ask your family to sign and leave


    the hospital."


    "Okay, I see. Did Albert say anything in his dreams recently?" Kelly asked with a smile. She wanted the


    nurse to believe that she was concerned about her husband, so that the nurse could put in a good word


    for her.


    Looking at her familiar face, she wished she could tear her face apart! But it was not the right time yet.


    She should seize this opportunity, for Riley and for herself.


    "Well..." The nurse paused and said, "No, he didn''t. He had a good sleep. The doctor said there was a


    little side effect because of the medicine he took, but I haven''t heard of he say anything in the dream


    yet."


    "Well, when you take care of him, is he usually in a good mood, or does he frown, is he in a daze, as if


    he is thinking about something?" Kelly asked again.


    "Yes, sometimes he will be in a daze, but I think he will think so much when he is bored. As his family,


    you should spend more time with him." The nurse nodded while answering Kelly''s questions.


    Kelly frowned slightly. This damn nurse was so blind that she didn''t tell her any important information!


    Was she hiding it on purpose or was she really stupid?


    "We will try our best. When you take care of him, you should do as he says. I think you know that you


    look a little like her." Said Kelly.


    The nurse hesitated. Judging from Kelly''s facial expression, she knew that Kelly would say something


    like that.


    She knew that when Vivian saw her, she would cry so sadly, like an orphan who had been wandering


    outside, eager to have a mother or father by her side.


    Vivian told her many times that her face looked exactly like her deceased mother. When she saw


    Albert, the way he looked at her was veryplicated...


    "I know. Vivian told me about it." Answered the nurse.


    "Well, it''s good that you know that. It''s inevitable for Albert to be attached to your face. I think you don''t


    need to be too polite. Maybe we can try to be friends. My husband needs your care, and I need you to


    Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    report something in time." Kelly tried to control her temper and said to her with a smile.


    "Yes, Mrs. Kelly. You can let me know if you need anything."


    Kelly nodded and said goodbye to the nurse. At her back, she sneered in her heart, ''Who wants to be


    friends with you!''!


    Back home, Riley was arranging flowers at home. Wild flowers were wrapped in Kraft paper one by


    one. When she saw her mothering, she rushed up to her mother.


    "Mom, how''s it going? What did Dad say? Is he still mad at me? I already felt sorry!" Riley said in a


    hurry, her eyes full ofcency.


    "Don''t worry. He has forgiven you. He doesn''t mind it anymore. But you should behave yourself. If he


    makes you angry again, I can''t care about you!" Kelly said jokingly, pointing at the spot between her


    daughter''s eyebrows.


    She had seen the terrible look in Albert''s eyes, so she knew how much her daughter had angered her


    husband. s, she had to lower her face to plead for mercy. It was really embarrassing!


    "Mom, don''t worry! I won''t do that again. " Riley pushed her mother''s arm and handed her a bunch of


    flowers on the table.


    "Why are you in the mood to do this?"


    "Mom, have you forgotten? The Lu Group is on our side now. Vivian definitely can''tpete with us for


    it. I can''t wait to see her facial expression. Will she be crying or staring at us and not giving in?"


    Riley smiled and pulled Kelly to sit on the sofa.


    "Really?" Kelly raised her eyebrows and smiledcently. That would be interesting! How could


    she repay the CEO of the Lu Group''s kindness?


    It was obvious that the bitch Vivian had been dragged into the battlefield. Now, even if she cried out for


    injustice, no one would support her, right?


    What a pleasure!


    "Isn''t Austin still single and avable? Look at him. He is rich and handsome. All women want to be


    with him. We will send him a beauty and let him be obsessed with women. At that time, he will


    keep dating... "


    "That''s a good idea. As long as there are negative news about him, he will gradually turn from a good


    man without any affair to a yboy. Everyone will feel sorry for him. But as long as he is rich, and that


    bitch, Vivian, won''t mind!"


    Kelly snapped with a smile when thinking about her ns.

    Chapter 27 Failure Is Not Allowed (Part One)


    Good news came one after another on this day. Unexpected good news came before she could digest


    it. What a good sign!


    Riley picked up the teacup and took a sip. With a sneer at the corners of her mouth, she had already


    imagined the facial expression on Vivian''s hateful face in her heart.


    Leaning against the sofa, Maggie received a call from Riley ten minutes ago. How could Riley have the


    nerve to ask her to wait for her here?


    "Sorry, I''mte." Riley took off her sunsses, stroked her dress, and sat on the sofa like a


    gentlewoman.


    "I won''t beat around the bush. Do you want to do something if you are paid?" Asked Riley.


    "It depends. I''m busy with movie shooting now. If it''s not a big deal, I can help, but..." Maggie answered


    with hesitation.


    "Don''t worry. It''s just a piece of cake for you." Riley said confidently with a smile. She put a check in


    front of Maggie. This number was absolutely attractive. She strongly believed that Maggie would take it!


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    "What''s the n?" As expected, Maggie took the check immediately after reading the number on it.


    Riley said confidently, "You know Austin Lu, do you? The man I asked you to work for mest time.


    This time I want you to cooperate with me. I''ll be on the lookout for you, you need to bring him into the


    room."


    "Didn''t I say that I could do nothing but selling my body?" Maggie was not happy when hearing her


    n.


    Seeing that Maggie was about to take the check out of her bag, Riley hurriedly reached out her hand to


    stop her.


    "Are you really stupid? As long as you stay with him in the room for one night and make him believe


    what happened between you and him, I don''t care what means you use. I just want the result. Besides,


    you can find a substitute for him."


    Riley raised her eyebrows and observed Maggie''s subtle expression carefully.


    "Austin is a good man. He will be responsible for you. Why do you pretend to be pure? It''s just to keep


    that thin thing. Now you are really conservative. There are not many people as pure as you in the


    society..." Riley mocked at her.


    "I see." Maggie rudely interrupted Riley''s arrogant words. She already had a n in her mind.


    "It''s good that you understand. I will tell you our detailed n tonight. Failure is not allowed!"


    "Deal."


    Looking at Riley''s receding figure, Maggie''s eyes had a sh of coldness.


    In the office.


    "Mr. CEO, there is a dinner party with Mr. Lim tonight. Would you like to attend it?" The assistant stood


    aside respectfully and asked softly.


    Mr. Lim had always been fond of social activities in brothels, which was exactly what the CEO didn''t


    like the most. Although he was not sure whether the CEO would attend, it was safer to ask.


    "Huh," replied Austin in a nasal voice, "I''ll go. Arrange it for me."


    He had to attend the dinner party tonight. Now he was in the peak ofpetition and needed strength


    as his support. Although Mr. Lim seemed to be a lecher and useless, he was very smart, which was


    also the reason why Austin would consider working with him!


    "Okay." The assistant heard the noise.


    In the Universe Hotel.


    Riley had predicted that Austin would have a dinner party tonight, so she dressed sexily on purpose.


    She had a lot of work to do!


    She smiled at the security guards at the door, which attracted many men''s hearts. Maggie then entered


    the hall in a low profile, wearing sunsses to cover half of her face, only revealing one side of her


    face, which was very mysterious.


    Seeing her enter the hall in a corner, Riley decided to inquire about the gossip first. After all, when big


    shots came to socialize, they would usually bring beauties and wine, wouldn''t they? It''s not a big deal.


    She nned to find a waitress.


    Riley quickly edited a message to Maggie, "I''m going to inquire about some information first. You


    continue preparing at the backstage."


    Maggie looked at the message on the screen and smiled. It was destined to be a sleepless night


    tonight.


    Riley walked to the back of the hotel in her high heels. When the manager saw her, he immediately


    leaned over and said, "Ms. Riley, this way please." She couldn''t let others see her sneaking around!


    "Okay." Riley followed them. When the two of them arrived at the corner of the stairs, they couldn''t see


    each other''s face, but talked to each other tacitly.


    "Listen to meter. Ask her toe on stage. Remember to let her be thest one to y, and the light


    must be the brightest!" Riley sneered and said softly.


    "Okay, okay. I know what you mean, Ms. Riley. I won''t let you down then!" The manager said while


    grabbing the door to check if there was anyone else, afraid of being eavesdropped.


    "Okay, go ahead with your work. I see that your neck has reached the door."


    Hearing Riley''s joke, the manager chuckled, nodded, and then walked out of the door.


    Riley walked out of the room without hesitation and sneaked into the monitoring room. She saw the


    young man sleeping inside and waking up from the rustling noises from the inte from time to time.


    "Damn it! Why don''t you let me sleep a little longer?" The security guard murmured, rubbing his sleepy


    eyes. Riley was worried about how to work on it.


    She had to turn off the monitor in the right direction of the room, or else the evidence would be taken!


    Now she was walking on the stairs, not afraid of being caught. But the more minutes the surveince


    video was on, the more worried she was getting.


    Seeing that it was toote, Riley stretched out her head and asked softly, "Hello, may I ask the way?"


    The security guard was awakened by this soft voice. He thought it was a dream again. He rubbed his


    head and saw the woman standing aside. Her long hair was fluttering, and she was wearing a bare


    vest short skirt, staring at him.

    Chapter 28 Failure Is Not Allowed (Part Two)


    "Hello, may I ask the way?" It was not easy for her to see that damn old security guard was not here


    today. She dared to be so bold. She must seed!


    "Of course!" The security guard stood up, turned his back to the machine behind him and asked, "which


    way do you want to ask?" He wondered how lucky he was to have an affair while sitting in the security


    room...


    "Can I see the monitor behind you? Let me see where I''m looking for."


    The security guard, of course, felt embarrassed to refuse. He quickly stepped aside so that Riley could


    Riley lowered her body and pretended to look at the small screens. It was strange that some parts of


    the screen were not turned on.


    "Why don''t you turn on the monitors in some ces? It''s so strange."


    The security guard stared at Riley''s with lustful eyes, attracting by her seductive dressing. But he didn''t


    dare to look at her for long. "Because there are special people patrolling those ces and they are


    designated..."


    "I see." ncing at the greedy look on the man''s face, Riley sneered in her heart, ''Men are always like


    this, aren''t they?''


    That would be easy. She secretly took out the USB sh disk that had been nted with the virus. As


    long as this disk was inserted into theputer, she could control which area of the surveince video


    on the keyboard! Because it was thetest virus, which could hide the ce and prevent hackers from


    intruding. It was easy for her to achieve her goal.


    Now it was difficult and easy to nt the virus in front of this man, so she had to use the honey trap!


    "Can you help me find it? There is a golden thing next to it. I can''t remember clearly. s, my brain..."


    Riley bit her lips, her eyes brimming with tears, making the man want to protect her!


    "Let me see!" The security guard nodded and soon turned around to look at the small screens.


    It seemed that he was a newer. He was not familiar with the nts here, was he?


    Riley smiled and thought, ''As I wish!'' She reached out and inserted the USB sh disk into the


    into theputer, she urged in her heart, ''Hurry up!'' Ten, nine, eight, seven...


    "Golden thing? Is it this one?" When the security guard was about to turn around, he was pulled by


    Riley. The virus transfer hadn''t finished yet, she needed more time.


    "Where? No, not this one." Riley didn''t allow him to turn around. She anxiously nced at the USB


    sh disk. Please! Please! She counted in her heart. When the time was up, she took the opportunity to


    pull out the USB sh disk with her back to the machine behind her.


    The security guard turned around in confusion. He felt something unusual was going one, but he


    couldn''t tell.


    "I remember! It''s here!" Riley smiled, turned around and pointed at the small screen in front of her. It


    was a guest room on the four floor of the hotel, with an unremarkable golden frame on one side. When


    she stopped, she pressed a key on the keyboard without leaving any trace.


    The most inconspicuous small screen in the corner was ck and did not attract the attention of the


    security guard.


    "I promised I would help you find it. Look at it..." The security guard said shyly, turning his head around.


    When he was about to ask for her phone number, his fantasy was shattered by Riley''s ruthless words.


    "Thank you so much. My boyfriend must be very anxious. I have to go. Bye!"


    Riley quickly walked out of the monitoring room, smoothed her hair and covered her face. Then she


    went downstairs in her high heels, ready to watch a good show!


    The staff of the hotel had already known that Mr. Lim, a "regr customer", was going to pay again, so


    they deliberately chose the most enchanting dancers to dance on the stage, trying to seduce Mr. Lim to


    spend a lot of money.


    In a dim corner, Austin took the ss and took a sip. He must be crazy toe a ce like this!


    Colorful lights were shing everywhere and young people were dancing enthusiastically. Everyone


    was drinking happily, and Mr. Lim was no exception. He happily looked at the dancers on the stage and


    slightly narrowed his eyes.


    "Next, thest actor on our stage, the finale of this show!" The host took a step forward, opened his


    hands, looked up at the sky and said with a smile.


    There was a lot of booing off the stage, but as the dancers came on the stage, the apuse also came


    up.


    "Beauty! Smile!"


    "Look at me, beauty!"


    "Wow! Take the money. Take off your mask!"


    Maggie had already known that Riley would arrange her to thest round. She wore a mysterious mask


    and a sexy short skirt and came on the stage in the light.


    She walked onto the stage, with a faint smile at the corners of her mouth and her eyes ncing around


    the stage. She knew where Austin was, but she had to pretend that she didn''t know.


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    When she was in college, she had chosen dancing as her major and practiced to form flexible and


    beautiful lines on her body. She was really moved by herself that she would stand on such a stage!


    "Beauty..."


    "Take off your mask! Take off your mask! Take off your mask! " Everyone couldn''t wait to see what the


    mysterious woman looked like. Although she wore an eye patch, her watery cherry lips and small chin


    formed a visual impact. She was really good-looking.

 Chapter 29 Unexpected (Part One)

    Chapter 29 Unexpected (Part One)


    Riley raised her eyebrows. She didn''t expect that Maggie was so good at hiding her skills. Seeing her


    dancing on the stage and ncing coldly off the stage from time to time, she attracted a burst of


    cheers.


    Was her eyes full of disdain? Or unbearable?


    But now the most important thing was to wait for Austin to be interested in her! Then her n could be


    carried on. Riley turned her head to look at Austin, only to find that he was staring at Maggie, who was


    performing on the stage. Riley smiledcently.


    Austin felt strange. The girl on the stage looked familiar, as if they had met before. Was he correct or


    an illusion only? What was more strange was that she looked at him from time to time.


    "Mr. Austin, what do you think? Are you enjoying yourself?" Mr. Lim grinned and thought, ''This guy is


    really hiding his real strength!'' Austin used to be pure and lofty all the time, but now the sexy beauty


    challenged his bottom line again and again. It was really his nature exposed! It seemed he was still a


    typical man, just with higher taste.


    It would be better to make his dreame true! Mr. Lim had decided.


    "Well, just so so. There are so many women like her in the street. Mr. Lim, I think we''d better discuss


    some formal problems. I came here with you for business. For affairs, I think you''d better go home and


    have a taste of this kind of trifle." Austin looked at him and answered while frowning slightly.


    He didn''t like to talk about business in such an asion, but now it was an emergency, so he had to


    make an exception.


    "Okay, let''s talk about business first." Mr. Lim twisted his slightly fat body, stood up and patted Austin


    on the shoulder. ''If Mr. Austin endures it for a long time, he would get sick!'' He thought to himself.


    Austin nodded. The two disappeared in the corner and went upstairs to a private room.


    Riley kept an eye on them, and didn''t let go any details. She looked at Maggie on the stage and found


    that she was almost done, so Riley went to backstage.


    With a burst of cheers, Maggie walked into the ce arranged by Riley and met her in private.


    "Good job. Next, I will arrange an opportunity for you! Then what happenster would be up to you."


    Riley reached out to help her dress and said softly.


    "I know. You must be careful. He seems to be very cautious and doesn''t care about me at all." Maggie


    said.


    "It''s hard to predict what will happen in the future. Maybe he will change to a different person after he


    gets into bed." Riley sneered. Men were different. She knew every man well. When a man saw her, the


    first thing he thought always was to deceive her into sleeping with him. No exception.


    After hesitating for a while, Maggie nodded and watched her leave. After putting on her clothes, she left


    quietly from the ce.


    Austin had a quick business talk with Mr. Lim. Since Mr. Lim was looking for a beauty to have fun, he


    had left the private room after trying and failing to persuade Austin to go together. Now the private room


    was quiet down. Austin had a big relief.


    He stared at the transparent ss in front of him with his ck eyes and twitched the corners of his


    mouth. ''Vivian, you must be strong. Your brother has been looking at you and protecting you!'' Austin


    silently thought to himself.


    As long as he was free, he would think of Vivian''s heartbreaking cries and her favorite doll, which made


    his heart ache!


    He had investigated Jeffrey and found that he had a good history. There were many gossips and


    beautiful women around Jeffrey, so Austin had to be on guard. After all, he couldn''t tell the rtionship


    between Jeffrey and Vivian clearly.


    Sitting in the private room, Austin gradually felt ufortable, thinking that he had drunk too much and


    thought too much. His eyelids gradually became heavy, and he was panting heavily. It was not good!


    But it was toote for him to realize that he was drugged.


    Subconsciously, he was walking. Her body was out of control and very hot. Then there was something


    soft under her body, like a mattress.


    Looking at the unconscious Austin, Riley called Maggie into the room she had booked.


    "You are such a lucky person to hook up with such a rich guy. It''s all up to you tonight. Think about


    whether you will live afortable and full life in the future, or be ignored? You know, you are in an


    awkward position now. You don''t know how greedy those rich guys who can''t get you are!"


    Looking at Riley''s ferocious and ugly face, Maggie smiled and said to her, "Thank you very much." ''You


    want me to thank you for setting up a night together with Mr. Austin? What you said is just a fantasy. It


    will be strange if I would not be killed Austin after he wakes up tomorrow morning. How could he forgive


    me?'' Maggie though to herself secretly.


    But she still agreed because she had to do so without any reason to reject.


    "Think about it. I''m leaving now!" Riley smiled at her, reached out to straighten her cor, and gently


    pulled open a gap. A gust of cold wind blew, and Maggie shivered.


    Riley took out her phone and looked at the time. Just in time, she pushed the door open and


    N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    disappeared at the corner.


    Derrick walked into the private room with Mr. Lee and saw Riley running away in a hurry. He


    remembered that Aus worked in the hotel on this floor. Was the "work" he mentioned to...


    ''How dare he getid alone? He even didn''t tell me!'' Derrick chuckled in his heart. He had to


    "ckmail" Austin after tonight. After all, Austin always made him suffer losses?


    Maggie stepped forward and gently climbed into the bed. The light in the room had been turned off, and


    only the moonlight faintly shone on [ ]''s face. Although he frowned and sweated, he was still


    handsome.


    She couldn''t bear to see him suffer, so she pulled open Austin''s white shirt and untied his tie gently to


    let him breathe some fresh air. Now it was time to call her friend, as long as her friend could sleep with


    him for one night...

 Chapter 30 Unexpected (Part Two)

    Chapter 30 Unexpected (Part Two)


    She really couldn''t do it by herself.


    "Don''t go..." Maggie was about to climb down from the bed and make the call. Subconsciously, Austin


    grabbed her hand, which was cold andfortable, and put it in his face. "It''s my fault. It''s brother''s


    fault... Vi... For the tears you dropped, I will..."


    Stunned, Maggie tried to get rid of his grip, but she was defeated by the disparity in strength between


    men and women. She had to let him grab her. It seemed Austin was murmuring something.


    She moved closer to his mouth and wanted to hear what he said clearly.


    "It''s all my fault...all your brother''s fault... I''m sorry..." Austin frowned and said in a daze. He seemed to


    see his sister Vivian standing in front of him and wiping off his tears. No matter how close he wanted to


    get to her, it was useless.


    Maggie heard it clearly now. Did Austin have a sister?


    "It''s me who made you suffer... I hate myself for not being with you... Vi... Vivian..."


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Austin opened his eyes in a daze and saw a woman''s face faintly in the darkness. He was very familiar


    with her face. He wanted to make a sound, but he had no strength. Enduring the difort of his body,


    he reached out and pushed her away with all his strength.


    "Go! Go..."


    Maggie thought he had seen her, so she looked at him in a panic. "Don''t hurt her... Do you know? She


    is my sister..."


    Maggie''s brain was buzzing. He had a sister, but he couldn''t see her so he felt bitterly? How she


    wished she could be his sister, feel his love for her and the warmth of being his family.


    She wiped off her tears and gave herself a mocking smile. Whom did she think she was to cry here?


    It turned out that a perfect man like [ ] was so fragile in his heart. He really felt sorry for [ ]. How


    much hatred did she have with him to set him up? He had a clean conscience. How could he have


    anything to do with a casual woman like her.


    Maggie quickly edited a text message and sent out, and received another new message. Then she


    stretched out her hand with satisfaction. Seeing that he was ufortable, she went to the bathroom


    to get a basin of water to help him wipe his body and lower his temperature.


    Riley was so cruel that she had no idea how much Austin was drugged and how strong the drug was...


    It was not until he breathed steadily that Maggie put away her stuff and left quietly.


    In the early morning, Derrick saw Austin with a long face in his office. He wondered why Austin had


    been acting strangely recently. Why did his mood change so obviously? It was really not like the Aus he


    used to know before. Was it aboutst night...


    "Aus, I know something,st night..." Derrick tried to ask.


    "Don''t talk nonsense. I''m thinking about something important." Austin interrupted him mercilessly.


    When he got up early this morning, he found that his body was very heavy, and the blurred memories


    in his mind were finally forced to be pieced together.


    He was framedst night! If he caught that bold person, he wouldn''t spare him easily.


    Strangely, there was no suspicious trace in the room, and there was even no ckmail information.


    Didn''t the maniptor behind it seed? It seemed that he had to make a thorough investigation.


    Derrick stared at Austin''s sad face and snickered in his heart. Austin always pretended to be elegant


    and pure, but he would take off his armor at night! He has seen through Austin.


    "Give me a reason why you did that!" Riley widened her eyes and listened to Maggie in disbelief. She


    was so angry that she grabbed the cup in front of her and poured it on Maggie.


    "I..." Riley was surprised why she didn''t dodge, but more with crity.


    She had just learned that the bitch Maggie had let such a big fish go! How could she not be angry? She


    was so stupid. The perfect n was just for thest step. This girl gave her an ident.


    Maggie took out a tissue and wiped her wet hair calmly. Fortunately, she was in the private room of the


    tea house, with her and the two of them. She was also surprised that she would finally make such a


    decision, but since she had already made it, she could not go back on her word!


    She removed her hair from her face and said softly, "I had something to do, so..."


    "So you let my previous efforts be wasted? Shame on you! I was waiting for your good news. Did you


    n it intentionally? Do you want to piss me off to death?" Riley interrupted her with a ferocious look,


    reaching out to pull her.


    Maggie dodged in time, "I will return the money to you. We will have nothing to do with each other in


    the future."


    "Do you think I care about money? I was thinking that no matter how much money I had, you would


    have to personallyplete my n, but it was ruined! " Riley threw the ss cup on the ground.


    Hearing the loud sound of ss breaking, she calmed down.


    "Nothing to do with each other? Dear? Do you think it''s Taobao? What I want you to do is a matter of


    life and death. Do you think you are superior now? Look down on me? Do you want to y with me?"


    "Tell me!" Riley grabbed her shoulder and shook it violently, yelling at her, "Bitch!"


    "Please respect me!" Maggie was expressionless. She had already been used to Riley''s vicious face,


    hadn''t she? When she just started her career, she was often bullied and mocked by Riley.


    The most she said to her was just a dispute, enduring the ridicule of her and all her friends


    At the beginning, she just wanted to save her face and talk nicely with her, but now she showed her


    true face.


    Riley was thrown away by her and suddenly knelt on the ground. She stared at Maggie and sneered,


    "You hypocritical bitch!" She even tried her best to please her, just tough at her after seeing her


    failure.

 Chapter 31 Press Conference (Part One)

    Chapter 31 Press Conference (Part One)


    "I know you have won a prize for a role in a movie recently. Do you think yourself now sessful?


    You''ve transferred from a young model who always getid to an actress, haven''t you?


    You still pretend to be pure and innocent. How dare you im not to sleep with rich guys after you had


    done it? Ridiculous!" Riley picked up her bag and said to Maggie before she left.


    Staring at her receding figure, Maggie bit her lips tightly.


    The waiter had already heard the broken ss in the private room. He was so scared that he dared not


    move forward. When he saw Riley ring at him, he was even more stunned. Was there a murder


    inside? Should he call the police? The waiter popped his head into the room, trembling. Then he took a


    relief. Nothing serious happened in the room but another good-lookingdy who was sitting there


    expressionlessly.


    In Vivian''s home. Jeffrey put the empty bowl on the te beside her and felt lucky that Vivian


    recovered soon. Before leaving, the private doctor told him to observe her mind and dispel the worries


    in time to make her recover faster.


    "Tissue." Vivian stretched out her hand to him and pouted.


    Hearing her order, Jeffrey didn''t hand it to her, but wiped her mouth in person. It was the first time that


    he felt it was so interesting to take care of a patient. It was like ying with a doll in his childhood, just


    the doll was more beautiful and alive. He ravaged Vivian''s face fiercely and wouldn''t stop until she tried


    her best to resist.


    But this patient must be Vivian. If it was someone else, he would not be happy and would not want to


    talk to so many things. He was always a person out of patience easily.


    "Vivian, let''s y a game." Jeffrey proposed.


    "Hmm? Okay, what game? " As soon as Vivian heard the game, her eyes lit up. She had been lying at


    home, bored to death, and there were few people to talk with her. She just turned on theputer to


    surf the micro-blog, micro-blog, and micro-blog...


    It was rare for her to get invitation from Jeffrey to y games with him. She was curious about what


    kind of game could make Mr. Jeffrey speak out.


    "In the game of asking questions, if you refuse to answer, you will lose. Of course, if you lose, there will


    be a corresponding punishment." Jeffrey said the game rule cunningly. Vivian was trapped by Jeffrey


    before she could react.


    "Your wound has something to do with Riley? You can keep silent." Jeffrey threw out the first question


    right away.


    "¡­¡­" Hearing that, Vivian was a little stunned but she didn''t answer. Let her take the punishment then.


    She didn''t want to talk about that night at all. It was just an ident. There was no need to make a


    fuss.


    Jeffrey took her to choose keeping silent. He bent down and kissed her on the lips.


    "Hmm..." With her eyes wide open, Vivian tried to push him away in disbelief. However, due to the huge


    difference in strength between the man and the woman, she had to give up struggling. She even


    gradually responded to him.


    Feeling Vivian''s responses, Jeffrey gradually became gentle from the overbearing kiss. Vivian met his


    deep eyes for a long time before he let go of her.


    "This is punishment." Said Jeffrey with a big smile. He didn''t mind if she kept silent all through the


    game.


    Vivian was annoyed and until now had she realized that she had fallen into the trap of a wolf! Silence is


    gold, isn''t it? But she felt that she was at a disadvantage!


    She was grateful to Jeffrey for saving her life that night. At that time, she even wanted to repay his


    kindness. Now thinking about it, she felt that she was too simple and naive.


    "But, I still have to thank you. Otherwise, if I were alone, I''m afraid I would really not be able to bear


    everyone''s gaze..."


    Hearing what Vivian murmured, Jeffrey felt satisfied both physically and mentally. This woman knew


    how to be grateful. Then, the game went on.


    In the CEO''s office, the assistant handed a document to Jeffrey and stood aside respectfully.


    "Thank you."


    Jeffrey couldn''t wait to unfold the Kraft paper and took out several pieces. He looked at them carefully


    from head to toe until he put them down, frowning.


    Vivian''s reaction was within his expectation. She would never tell him what happened that night, so he


    had to investigate it by himself.


    If it was really Riley, Jay would definitely arrange something to protect his "good" wife first!


    In this way, Vivian would suffer losses alone without being able to let others know. It was really unfair to


    her.


    However, the result of the investigation was still unclear. Although they had bought the surveince


    video at the first time, the camera was blurred, or the light was dim, and the position of the two people


    was exactly in such a disadvantageous area.


    Jeffrey asked slowly, "How is it going?"


    "Everything is waiting for your order. You can start at any time." The assistant replied immediately.


    "Okay. Block the headlines right away and purchase those arrogant newspaper agencies!" Jeffrey


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    stood up, walked to the French window and said coldly.


    The assistant couldn''t see his facial expression, but he could still feel the coldness in the air.


    "I got it."


    "Remember to hold a press conference this afternoon. I want to personally rify this matter." I can''t let


    Vivian get involved in this storm!


    "Mr. Jeffrey..." If the CEO held a press conference, wouldn''t it acquiesce in the rtionship between the


    two? This would make the reporters seed again and mess it up! The assistant was so worried.


    "It''s alright. I know what I''m doing, but what I''ve done is meaningful, so you don''t have to worry." Jeffrey


    said calmly.


    The assistant nodded, turned around, and pushed the door open to walk out.


    In the afternoon, a press conference was held as scheduled. Jeffrey straightened his cor, stared at


    himself in the mirror, and smiled.


    "Ring, ring, ring..." The familiar ringtone came. He picked up the phone unhappily, looked at the note,


    paused, and pressed the answer button.


    "Mr. Jeffrey, Mr. Lim came to thepany and said he had business to deal with you. Didn''t he know


    that you were going to hold a press conference?" The assistant asked him anxiously on the other end


    of the phone.

 Chapter 32 Press Conference (Part Two)

    Chapter 32 Press Conference (Part Two)


    Looking at Mr. Lim who was sitting cross legged on the sofa with displeasure on his face, the assistant


    felt helpless. Just now, Mr. Lim took his assistant directly to thepany, iming that he had


    something important to do. Seeing that the CEO was not there, he scolded his assistant and sent him


    out to buy coffee. Now Mr. Lim was staring at him with his bean sized eyes...


    Although he didn''t want to disturb the CEO, Mr. Lim didn''t seem to leave the office.


    "I see. Give him the phone please." Jeffrey said.


    "Okay." The assistant nodded desperately as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. As long as Mr.


    Jeffrey could resolve the problem, even tens of thousands of Mr. Lim would still be "killed".


    Mr. Lim raised his eyebrows and took the phone over, "Hello, it''s me."


    Jeffrey sneered. He didn''t know why Mr. Lim came to hispany without making any appointment


    ahead. Even if he had something important to do, he wouldn''t be so anxious to forget his temper. Was


    he looking for trouble?


    "Are you too idle, Mr. Lim? I''m dealing with some business outside now. Please make an appointment


    to meet me, or tell my assistant directly. "


    Mr. Lim smiled and stretched out his hand tob his "mediocre" hair. "I have a good business, but I


    don''t know if you want to do it. Well, since you have something important to do, I can visit you another


    day."


    "Okay." On the other end of the phone came Jeffrey''s usual cold tone. After hanging up the phone, Mr.


    Lim smiled at Jeffrey''s assistant and patted him on the shoulder. Then he ignored his assistant who ran


    over with coffee and walked in front of him.


    His assistant looked at the back of his boss and followed him in a daze.


    Many well-known reporters from newspapers and magazines had gathered under the stage, holding


    their cameras and scrambling for good positions. Everyone was curious about why Mr. Jeffrey was in


    such a good mood to hold a press conference in person today, and it seemed very grand.


    "I think Mr. Jeffrey just wants to dere that he has bought thatnd, right?"


    "How is that possible? Mr. Jeffrey always keeps a low profile."


    "Are you trying to rify thest headline? Didn''t they say that the Shen Group had acquired good


    exposure by taking advantage of the headline?"


    "Really? It''s so wonderful!"


    Hearing this, the reporters with sharp ears all remembered that Mr. Jeffrey''s rare headline was cleared


    overnight without any trace! It seemed that the headline had vanished from the world.


    "Here he is!"


    Everyone held a camera, and the shlight gathered together. The tall and handsome figure on the


    stage stood still, like a sculpture that could be photographed by anyone. His perfect face, and his eyes


    exuded a cold atmosphere.


    "The purpose of the press conference held by the Shen Group this time is very simple. Thest


    headline really had a great negative impact on me. Although the viin who spread rumors and


    pretended to be powerful has been punished, next time, I will use legal force to protect my rights and


    interests." Jeffrey started the press conference.


    "The Shen Group doesn''tck one or two elitewyers. If anyone wants to have a try, I''m always ready


    for it. I''ve bought several newspaper agencies recently because they have vited my portraiture and


    privacy... I hope you can understand my feelings at this moment." Continued him.


    The reporters'' eyes widened in shock. Jeffrey''s words sounded like he had been hurt a lot, but there


    was still a cunning look in her eyes. Because of his powerful aura, no one dared to act rashly. They just


    wanted to leave after taking the photos.


    "If you have any questions, I''ll be there at any time." That was the end of his speech. Jeffrey held the


    microphone in his hand, bent down slightly and said softly, staring at the dense crowd below the stage.


    "Hiss, hiss, hiss..." everyone wanted to capture the most "serious" expression on Jeffrey''s good looking


    face in time, in order to increase the sales of their reports with the headline. No one wanted to risk their


    lives to step on some dog crap luck. It would be good enough if they could get the photos!


    Although Mr. Jeffrey''s words were a little vague.


    "Since you have no objection, I have nothing to say today." Jeffrey cast a cold nce at the audience


    and suddenly narrowed his eyes. He saw a report start questioning.


    "Mr. Jeffrey, about the purpose of this press conference, do you want to warn those viins or rify


    your rtionship with the mysteriousdy whose back was pictured with you the other night?" A bold


    reporter raised the question and handed the microphone to him desperately.


    Hearing the voice, Jeffrey looked straight into the distance. It was a female. Her palm sized face was


    covered tightly by a peaked cap, and only her small mouth was exposed. When she spoke with her


    mouth opened, people could see her white teeth and red lips. She was so cute.


    Sure enough, it was not in vain for him to make up such a press conference. He was trying to draw out


    the backstage maniptor! This seemed to be a clue. Obviously, this person was bribed. After


    receiving the money to work for others, she naturally wanted to protect herself as well as toplete


    the task.


    Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Then, there would be only one result.


    As soon as they heard this bold reporter say such a sentence, they all thought that the new reporter


    was thoughtless. A few old reporters close to her all lowered their heads and secretly told her that this


    Mr. Jeffrey could not be provoked!


    They still remembered that another new reporter offended Jeffreyst time. Then he was fired and


    couldn''t find a job afterwards. His parents were still sick but he couldn''t afford the medical treatment for


    them. The whole family suffered. In short, he was miserable!


    Everyone wanted to help the newer, but the little reporter in front of them didn''t seem to mind. She


    didn''t intend to take back her words and still held the microphone high.

    Chapter 33 Head-on Fighting (Part One)


    Jeffrey curled his lips. This suddenly-appeared report made him out of curious. He asked to reply,


    "What do you think? It''s unnecessary for me to answer such a small question, isn''t it?"


    The report bit her lips tightly. She could hear clearly what Jeffrey said. If she asked him back now, she


    would be trapped instead of receiving any answer. But...


    "Mr. Jeffrey, do you mean to rify the rtionship between you and the mysteriousdy? Are you


    protecting her on purpose or for your own interests?"


    Facing the reporters'' questions, Jeffrey didn''t get angry as usual. He just said indifferently, "I''m a


    businessman, so I attach great importance to the immediate interests." Still, he didn''t answer the


    reporter''s questions.


    Finished saying the words, he left a back to everyone in the press conference.


    The reporter withdrew the microphone and quickly retreated from the crowd.


    "Hey! Which newspaper are you from? Did you sign the agreement prepared for your death?"


    "Which newspaper..."


    Other reporters was yelling at this reporter and discussing that she was so reckless! Then they shook


    their heads and wrote down what Jeffrey had said just now. Mr. Jeffrey always gave vague answers...


    In a corner close to the press conference. "Ah..." Jeffrey clenched the woman who covered her face


    with a peaked cap and paused when he heard her voice. She was that restless reporter.


    "Since you came to see me from the beginning, why did you leave? Are you afraid that I will swallow


    you down?" Jeffrey approached her gradually and cornered her. He must expose this woman''s true


    colors in person!


    The reporter didn''t know what to do. She stretched her legs in an arc, intending to give the man who


    was approaching her a heavy blow. But he stopped her first. She quickly took out pepper water from


    her pocket and sprayed it on his handsome face. Then she pushed him away when he was


    unprepared.


    "Uh..." Jeffrey snorted and covered her eyes with her hands, trying his best to protect them from being


    hurt. When he could open his eyes, the reporter had already run away, leaving only a strong choking


    smell in the air.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "Ahem." Jeffrey coughed. It was not a good ce to stay here for a long time. He didn''t expect that this


    woman sprayed chili water on his eyes! How dare she!


    Jeffrey walked to the bathroom and washed his face. Looking at himself in the mirror, he clenched her


    fists and smiled coldly. Very good... Very good...


    A few dayster, Vivian moved her foot and found that it was not so painful when she turned around.


    She nodded to the doctor and said, "Doctor, I don''t feel pain anymore. I should have fully recovered,


    right?"


    "Yes, but you have to get back to walk slowly now. Remember not to do strenuous exercises at the


    beginning. If you hurt your meridians again, you wouldn''t be so lucky next time." The doctor smiled and


    shook his white coat to leave. He said, "I''ll go to other wards to see the patients'' conditions. You can do


    some exercise slowly first."


    "Okay, thank you, doctor." Vivian answered with a big smile. Finally she could get back to her normal


    life.


    Jeffrey slightly lowered his head to the doctor who was passing by. When he heard the door closing, he


    stepped forward and hugged Vivian.


    "Are you feeling better? You just said you couldn''t feel the pain. I thought you were numb and


    unconscious because of the pain..." Jeffrey grinned wickedly. It was obvious that something evil was


    going on his mind.


    "Are you seriously ill? We are still in the hospital. How about you go to the department of brain?" Vivian


    rolled her eyes at him.


    Jeffrey chuckled and helped her up, "Let''s see if you are used to it. If not, I can carry you on my back."


    He had carried her on his back when they came to recheck, but now she had to walk on her own. This


    feeling was worse than marrying a daughter off. He wished he could carry her all his life.


    "Not bad. Look!" Feeling no difort in her feet, Vivian strode briskly.


    Looking at her smile, Jeffrey felt warm in his heart.


    After they had returned home, lying on the bed, Vivian was browsing micro-blog. As soon as Jeffrey


    left, she stayed at home all afternoon. She used his astronomical telescope and found that there was


    no night sky to observe, so she walked around in the house to discover joys from small little things.


    It was so boring indeed!


    She looked through the fridge and found that there was not much fresh food, so she decided to go


    shopping!


    After changing intofortable clothes, Vivian walked into a crowded supermarket. It was rush hour


    now, and many housewives woulde to the supermarket to grab fresh food. She went to the snack


    area and the living goods areater to have a look.


    Maggie grabbed her bag tightly, pushed the shopping cart, and walked on the road. From time to time,


    she would jump into the crowd, trying to get rid of the people following her closely!


    Who would follow her? Was that person a fan of her? No way. Why did he follow her secretly?


    Maggie went to the snack area, but the person behind her seemed to want to stop and did not follow


    her for a while.


    "Mom, I want this..." There was a little girl in the snack area, asking her mother for snacks.


    "Patty, these snacks look delicious, but you will get sick if you eat them." the mother coaxed the little


    girl.


    "Mom, I want it. Buy it for Patty please..."


    Maggie was attracted by the mother and daughter. The little girl''s childish voice attracted Maggie, who


    had got lost in this scene.


    "Disobedient! I''ll buy you some fruits. They are delicious and nutritious..." The mother was getting a bit


    strict.


    "No..." The little girl suddenly burst into tears and her crying voices tore others hearts. Her mother was


    helpless. She patted her daughter''s shoulder and coaxed her, "Okay, okay, okay. You have to practice


    the piano after you go home then, okay?"


    "Okay!" The little girl nodded heavily and smiled. There were still tears in her big eyes. She turned


    around and looked at Maggie, smiling at her.

 Chapter 34 Head-on Fighting (Part Two)

    Chapter 34 Head-on Fighting (Part Two)


    Staring at the receding figures of the mother and daughter, Maggie couldn''t calm down for a long time.


    For so many years, her heart had still been beating fast... She still couldn''t let it go. Was it possible?


    Maybe she would be in another world when she saw her again.


    Maggie gave herself a big smile and continued to push the shopping cart forward. Unexpectedly, she


    saw a familiar face. Her small face was like a child, curiously staring at the goods shelf. After a while, it


    seemed that she had discovered a new continent, smiling from ear to ear.


    It was her!


    Maggie vigntly nced at the man behind her, and sure enough, he followed her closely again. Just


    now, he left just to make her rx. If she guessed right, this mysterious man just wanted to put some


    goods into her bag and set her up.


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    She sneered and nced at Vivian, aiming at her and guessed which checkout counter she would go


    toter.


    The mysterious man stepped forward and squeezed into the crowd. Under the ck overcoat, he kept


    putting something into Maggie''s bag and then left in a hurry.


    Maggie took a look at the stuff in her bag. Although they were not big stuff, all were valuable items. He


    was really good at choosing, wasn''t he? It seemed that he had prepared for it ahead.


    Maggie walked to the check-out counter and put the things that had been paid on the shelf aside. The


    security guards constantly nced at her with the machine in their hands.


    "Ms. Riley, I''ve put the things into her bag. Don''t worry. She did not found." The man reported.


    "Okay, thank you. You can take the money. Don''t feel guilty. What you have done is good for the


    people." Riley patted him on the shoulder and put the check into his coat, saying in a low voice.


    "Now that you have taken the money, you should leave here. Go to a ce where I can''t see or find


    you, and nevere back."


    "Yes, ma''am."


    Riley twitched her mouth and stared at the check-up counter with her big eyes. There was going to be


    a good show! She just wanted to make a fool of Maggie! As an actress who just returned to the screen,


    it would be easy for her to be famous if such a negative news came out.


    But she had to suffer a little first. Otherwise, how could she get the result?


    "Beep, beep, beep..." The rm rang. The security guard stared at the big girl in front of him coldly and


    shook his head helplessly. "Hand it over!"


    "I... I didn''t steal anything. Why are you doing this... " Maggie couldn''t believe that the security guard


    rudely reached out his hand and tried to take her to another ce, struggling hard.


    "Search!" Hearing this, another security guard nodded, grabbed Maggie''s bag and poured out what


    was inside.


    "What''s this?" The security guard picked up some imported tonics, and each small golden bottle was a


    beauty pill that had just been introduced from Europe. The price was a little high for ordinary people,


    but the big girl in front of him...


    "I... I didn''t steal. Someone must have set me up! I don''t even know what it is..."


    "Let''s go to the police station first. You can take your time to exin in there." They grabbed Maggie


    rudely and were ready to leave.


    "Uncle, I''m sorry. She is my sister. I just wanted to tell her to remember to pay for me, but she forgot.


    She has a bad memory. Please forgive her. How much is it? I''ll pay." A girl''s voice sounded behind


    them.


    As soon as she finished her words, the onlookers lost their interests and were separated.


    Riley, hiding in a corner, stared at Vivian and wondered why she was here. It seemed that her feet had


    recovered.


    After paying the money, Vivian also carried an environment friendly bag. She had just bought a lot of


    things and was about to walk through the check-up counter when she encountered such an incident. It


    was said that the girl was wondering why those things were in her bag.


    Judged from the clothes she was wearing, she should be from a rich family. She was still wearing a


    limited edition dress from the Fashion Exhibition Mn. How could sheck such little money and want


    to hide something to muddle through? Thus, Vivian reached out and helped her.


    "Thank you." Maggie walked with her side by side and whispered to her.


    "It doesn''t matter. Even if it''s not me today, someone else will help you, too. I know you are wronged.


    Maybe it''s a child who yed tricks and put the things into your bag."


    "¡­¡­" Maggie stared at her in astonishment. It was a little funny to say that children would run away


    with whitening pills imported from Europe, but Vivian was really helping her...


    "Thank you so much. If it weren''t for you, I would have been so humiliated today. I''ll pay you back!


    Please give me your card number. I don''t have that much money with me when I go out. I''ll transfer it to


    you when I get home."


    "No, No." Vivian waved her hand and refused immediately, but she thought it was not very polite to


    reject her directly. Or, maybe... "Why don''t you invite me to dinner? Just have a meal would be fine."


    Vivian suggested.


    "Okay!" Maggie nodded with a smile, staring at her slyly.


    Riley looked at both girls in front of her. Are they talking andughing?


    She walked up to them in high heels. Saying to Vivian, "Sister, long time no see! You seem to have


    recovered a lot. You can walk now."


    Vivian didn''t expect she would meet her here. It was really a stroke of luck for her! She looked at


    Riley''s fake smile and nced at her coldly, keeping silent.


    With a sneer at the corners of her mouth, Riley looked at Vivian. Then she pretended to be surprised


    and said to Maggie, "Ah, Maggie, in fact, I just saw what happened to you. I''m really sad to see you


    wronged. You are such a famous star, how can you not afford them?"

 Chapter 35 Horrible Eyes (Part One)

    Chapter 35 Horrible Eyes (Part One)


    Riley paused and sneered. Then she continued, "I knew you were wronged. It''s all right now. Don''t take


    it to heart. Do you know each other? Why did she never talk about you?" She pointed at Maggie and


    Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    asked Vivian.


    "Even if I know Vivian, I don''t need to tell you, do I?" Maggie smiled coldly, with a sh of code in her


    eyes.


    "Really?" Riley raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes, you''re a famous star now. How can you remember


    the way we worked together? At that time you just joined the entertainment industry, and I often took


    my best friends to visit you. But now I haven''t heard anything from you. How ungrateful you are!"


    Visit? Riley''s visit was to bring people to bully Maggie. Every time Maggie had received an


    advertisement, she would be med and ridiculed by Riley''s team.


    What did they say? "I know you slept all the way to be famous!"


    "What a dissolute woman! If she bes famous at that time, she will be exposed to the public!"


    "It''s ridiculous that you keep your nose clean. Director Xu''s martial art in bed was not bad, right?


    Hahaha..."


    Ringing bells of the past, familiar mocks came to Maggie''s ears, as if the time had returned to the past


    when Riley was right in front of her, pointing at her with her friends, and trying to take the clothes from


    the sponsor!


    "That''s right. How can people always stand at a low point? We all have our own goals and always


    make any progress. Unlike someone who has always been standing in a ce where she mistakenly


    thought and felt proud, but in fact, she has beenughed at by countless people behind!"


    Maggie said crossly. She pulled Vivian aside and walked past Riley, ring at her for several times.


    Riley gave herself a sarcastic smile and rolled her eyes. She was now the wife of the deputy CEO of


    the Pei Group. No one dared to look down on her. They were all ignorant viins who were just jealous


    of her.


    So, now Maggie had determined to fight against her, hadn''t she? Riley kept thinking other ways to set


    her up.


    Her phone rang. "Ring, ring, ring..."


    Riley answered the phone impatiently, "What''s up?"


    "Ms. Riley... Ah... It was too miserable... Denny! He, he, he is dead!" The man on the other end of the


    line burst into tears, took a few deep breaths, and said slowly word by word.


    He had just received a call from the hospital, saying that they found his caller''s ID in the dead''s phone,


    asking if he was his family. The news was too shocking!


    He still remembered that a second ago, Dennyughed at him for being a pauper and showed him the


    amount of money in his card. After a while, he heard the news of his death - a car ident, invalid


    rescue and death.


    "Damn it! Where are you? Send me the address! Now!" Riley shouted, clenching the phone in her


    hand. Her eyes were with guilty conscience.


    If she guessed right, Denny still had the bank card she gave him! There must be her fingerprints on the


    card. If the police came to find her, what would Jay think?


    How could she exin her rtionship with these men alone! She didn''t even mention them to her


    mother...


    "Peo... People''s... Public Hospital! Waah..." The man couldn''t help sobbing.


    Riley hung up the phone. She must get the card! And...


    "Stop! Stop!" She stopped a taxi and told the address in a hurry. She stared at the road ahead with


    worry, as if she thought her eyes could knock over the car that blocked the road, so the taxi could pass


    by fast.


    The driver was frightened by her horrible eyes, which were like a murderers''. The driver just wanted to


    send her to the destination as soon as possible and get away from her. He could give up the money,


    just praying there would be no traffic jam. It was said that the murderer''s personality was bad. If she


    was in a bad mood and wanted to kill him...


    ''Oh my God! I still have a big family to feed. I don''t want to die. Please, God...'' The driver kept praying.


    Riley warned the driver with her eyes. She didn''t expect that her eyes would frighten him.


    "Can''t you drive faster! I''ll give you money. I''ll give you whatever you want! " Riley took out a big pile of


    red bills from her bag and threw it on the passenger seat in a panic.


    She didn''t know how she would die if she was a littlete! Although the greedy man Denny used a new


    phone card to keep in touch with her and threw it away afterwards, she still felt uneasy...


    This kind of restlessness from the inside out was really horrible, with goose bumps all over her body.


    She was so emotional that she clenched her fists. It was the first time she had felt this kind of feeling...


    The aged driver nodded in a hurry. He had to save his life now! ''Wasn''t it said that the more the


    murderer was interested in the person before the motivation of killing had been raised, the less chance


    that the person would be killed?'' They aged driver thought. He decided to have a try. Even if there was


    no result, it was better than sitting still.


    "Miss, I think you are too anxious. Is there anything wrong at home?" He asked softly, ncing at the


    money spilled by Riley from time to time.


    "Old dick! Cut the crap. You just need to drive! If I amte for a second, I will..." Before Riley could


    finish her words, she saw a white railing in front of her


    "Ah..." Fortunately, she had fastened the seat belt, so she only bumped a few times and felt dizzy. She


    had just seen the railing! Was there a car ident?


    She raised her head in a hurry and saw the aged driver was sping his face in the direction, without


    any vitality. This was a remote road. Because Denny left in a hurry, he drove around to the suburb. The


    hospital he was taken to was also the nearest hospital here, which was far away from the city. This


    road was inevitable!
