Eunice walked up in front of me. Now, I had a better view of her entire appearance. Doing some math in my head, I swallowed as my eyes feasted on her physique, scanning her from the head down to her Louboutin stiletto adorned with genuine gemstones. My eyes then traveled upward to her white dress, which perfectly hugged every curve of her body with a blue sapphire chain belt around her waist. Wearing a pastel blazer does little to conceal her hourglass figure. After having had enough of her clothes, I stared at the jewelry set made of blue sapphire. The sizes were just perfect—not large or small. They were appropriate for her attire. With my observation, I realized that there was a more significant difference between Eunice and Leah. Leah loved wearing large stone jewelry in her daily outfit, which is why I didn't enjoy staring at her. Yet, Eunice exudes a unique charm, and anything would look good on her. And the purse she clutched was from a known brand and ornamented with ge
I sat up and then stood on my feet. Dusting my bottom and smoothing my suit, I coughed to clear out my lungs, covering my embarrassment. Pretending that nothing had happened, I stretched my arm with a grin. "Good morning, President Meier. I'm sorry if I haven't sent out a notice that I will make a personal inspection today. I am particular about maintaining a safe and comfortable space for my occupants; thus, I want to ensure there won't be any mishap because of my negligence." "Even the floor, then?" Christian teased. I chuckled awkwardly when he ignored my hand for a handshake. I am aware that my explanation made me look absolutely ridiculous, and I was tempted to rip Christian's teasing grin off his face. It was apparent that he would continue taunting me. Indeed, his following words annoyed me. "How grateful we are to have such a thoughtful landlord. However, you were never this concerned about doing the inspection personally; you used to send out your men to do the job. Don't
“Good morning, everyone.” Eunice smiled as she entered the door. She walked toward the center chair and sat down after Christian pulled it out for her, for whom he remained standing. His aura exuded like that of a noble knight, safeguarding her safety. As soon as a young, stunning woman entered the room, the atmosphere erupted in joy. Nevertheless, a few individuals were taken aback, and one struggled to keep her composure. “You! How’d you become the boss of Meier Holdings? I don’t believe this!” Leah could not maintain her demeanor, pointing her index finger at Eunice. The latter pursed her lips, amused at how her dear cousin could not control her nasty temperament. ‘So unprofessional.’ Eunice rolled her eyes and asked Leah, “What’s the matter if I am the boss of a giant company? I was fit for this position, and the M&M executives think so, too.” Despite Eunice’s reasoning, Leah is still in disbelief. She does not accept that the boss she works for is Eunice. “It isn’t true! How
"I concurred! DL Enterprises is inferior to many companies like Lopez Corporation, Meier Pharmaceuticals, or Shen Group! But M&M International? The combined Lopez Group and Shen Group would not surpass Muller & Meier Corp." "Also, Miss Tsui is even more beautiful than Miss Dela Cruz. She is young and talented!" Leah exploded when she heard all these comments in favor of Eunice. People have kept comparing the two of them ever since Eunice moved with them to the mansion. Everyone will praise Eunice because of her innocent-like beauty. Her angelic face, blue-green eyes, and heart-shaped lips capture people's attention the most… and everyone thinks she is the family's ugly duckling. Indeed, when Leah continued her studies abroad for two years, she made so many changes to her facial features that they could not be considered original. “Have you considered the consequences of your actions?” “It looks like you are tired of working at Lopez Group!” Irate, Leah barked at the secretaries
Miranda Dela Cruz Lim, CEO of DLC Enterprises, was livid upon reading her daughter's messages. Since she gave birth to Leah, she has been spoiled. Therefore, she will believe anything she tells her without investigating the matter. "That b*tch has a thick face! What did you do? I hope you give her a nice slap on the face." "That's what I did, mom. However, everyone is siding with Eunice!" Surprised by Leah’s reply, Miranda snapped. "What do you mean by that? Is she in the board meeting?" "Yes, Mom, and I felt humiliated because Jullian took her side as well! Instead of supporting me as his future wife, he even reprimanded me when I questioned Eunice’s qualifications for her position in the company. He is showing that he had faith in Eunice! What should I do, Mom? What if Jullian canceled our engagement and chose Eunice to marry instead? Mom, I'm going to jump on the bridge right now!" Leah’s proclamation startled Miranda when her daughter sent such a message. Without delay, she
Miranda’s eyeballs wanted to pop out of their sockets. “Eunice is a big shot at M&M International? How did that happen?” Miranda was shocked after hearing everything from Leah. She remained in disbelief until Leah finished detailing what happened during the board meeting. They kicked Eunice out of the family and the country back then. Now that she has returned, she will probably cause them trouble. ‘Is she planning revenge on us?’ Miranda was somewhat nervous about unforeseen events in the future. Now, she felt dread upon recalling the past. ‘Did she learn the truth? No! I got rid of the evidence! So it’s impossible!’ Miranda gradually paled, which Leah missed noticing because all in her mind was her resentment for Eunice. “I was as shocked as you, Mom. I thought I only heard it wrong when Christian Meier introduced her to the board! Mom, she must have had some tricks!” Leah had a strong belief. Otherwise, how did Eunice climb to that high? “Mom, do you know who the chairman of
Shangri-La Hotel Since the board meeting ended early and there was nothing to do in the office, Eunice returned to the hotel, not allowing Leah to approach or speak with her, knowing her tongue was full of venom. “There will be the perfect moment to deal with her.” She curled her lips, remembering the surprise on Leah’s face. She looked like she had swallowed a worm she was most afraid of. That’s right. Leah has scoleciphobia. “I bet Leah is already plotting against me. I know her very well, so I am certain.” Foreseeing the near episodes, Eunice leisurely sipped a glass of champagne while looking out the window, fixing her gaze at the building across the lake. Lopez Tower is the tallest skyscraper in this province. Many islands divide the region, and Claire City is the center island—the province’s heart. This island wasn’t that expansive, but the products produced here are excellent for trading worldwide. They were one of the few cities that exported their products all over the w
Christian’s questioning clouded her countenance for a fleeting moment. He is correct, actually. Why would she waste her time helping the Lopezes strive in this life? She shouldn’t be concerned about them. There is a more significant matter she must deal with instead. However, whenever she thought of abandoning the Lopez family, a searing pain would strike her chest. Something is suffocating her. Christian pulled away from Eunice when she started shivering and laboring to breathe. “Eunice? What’s wrong?” Worries filled Christian’s countenance. He was about to call the bodyguards to prepare the chopper on the rooftop of this hotel if it weren’t for Eunice shaking her head, conveying she was okay. But Christian didn’t believe her when her fingers were pressing against her chest. “Breathe in,” he encourages her. Worried she would have an attack, he asked with concern. “Do you want me to call the hotel doctor? Perhaps I better send you to the hospital now.” Breaking out in a cold sw
