This man, who was hailed as a genius in the business world and always admired by everyone, was like a deity towering above the rest. Even Sarah, once she crossed his bottom line, he would turn his face without hesitation.And now he sat at the dining table with a dark expression, the echoes of a woman's unrestrained laughter resounding in his ears. Elaine stood at the staircase, bending over with laughter.After laughing, she elegantly adjusted her disheveled hair and glanced back at him, innocently saying, "Don't you still have another hand to use?"Elaine nonchalantly turned her head and arrogantly raised her chin as she walked upstairs."Elaine!"A man's furious roar came from downstairs.Elaine slammed the door with a loud bang, using it to counter his yelling. In the depths of her heart, an evil thought even crossed her mind—would he die if he went without food for three days and three nights? But she was thinking too much. Aaron wasn't a fool, and he certainly wouldn't let himse
This meal tested Elaine's patience every minute, but thankfully it finally came to an end. Elaine was washing dishes in the kitchen when she heard Aaron making a phone call to have clothes delivered. It brought her a little relief.Coming out of the kitchen, she saw Aaron sitting in the living room. After giving it some thought, she returned to the kitchen and poured a glass of water, placing it in front of him. Aaron raised his eyelids to look at her."Thanks.""No need," Elaine replied without being polite. She went straight to the point, "Can I borrow your phone to make a call?"Aaron's face turned dark, and he glared at her in annoyance.Elaine didn't care and said, "I have to make a call home. They will be worried."Not only would they be worried, but Elaine had disappeared without any reason. The Smith family would probably be frantic searching for her. Although she hadn't completely integrated into the Smith family, the people there treated her sincerely and she didn't want to
The faint smell of tobacco on him seeped into Elaine's nostrils, swirling like a delicate mist, permeating her heart. Uncontrollable moisture welled up in Elaine's eyes, and the man's cool fingers slid past her ear. Elaine trembled suddenly and hurriedly took a few steps back.Aaron awkwardly held up his hand that was about to retract, his gaze showing a hint of surprise. Elaine met his gaze for a moment before turning her face away and walking forward with long strides. "I'm tired, let's find a place to sit."Watching her walk away, Aaron furrowed his brow helplessly.Out of Aaron's sight, Elaine clenched her lips tightly. Even though she knew that once Aaron turned gentle, he was anything but human, she couldn't help but be moved by him, stirring her heart. This feeling was simply awful. She would rather he be fierce, ruthless. Then she wouldn't need to be polite to him. Once she endured these three days, the past would no longer matter.Aaron caught up, gave her a deep look, then k
The Garcia residence. Sarah had been acting like a lunatic, making a ruckus all night, demanding to see Aaron. Finally, she had fallen asleep in the early morning hours, but it didn't last long. She started throwing things again.Melissa Garcia couldn't take it anymore. She paced back and forth in the house, clenching her fists, and finally decided to call Lionel. "Didn't we agree to ruin him? Why haven't we seen any progress?"Lionel, who had just left the Brown mansion, heard Melissa Garcia's frustrated voice and pursed his lips. He calmly opened the car door and got in. It was only after the car left the mansion that he leisurely replied, "Don't worry, rushing won't get us anywhere."Melissa Garcia suppressed the words that were building up in her throat. Upstairs, she heard another round of things being thrown. Exhausted, she pressed her temple with her hand and said, "Do it as soon as possible. We don't know where he's hiding, and this is the only way to force him out."Lionel sm
Elaine couldn't help but say in disbelief, "Enough, Aaron! You have no right to interfere in my affairs. Give me back the design!"Aaron, however, took her retort as acceptance, and the image of her laughing and chatting with Calvin came to his mind. He couldn't restrain the anger welling up inside him, and his right hand clenched tightly, causing a sharp, piercing pain. He quickly let go, but the white bandage was stained with fresh blood. His eyes were tinged with a glaring red.Elaine realized the danger and took a few steps back, shrinking. She hadn't forgotten the ferocious side of the man standing in front of her. In this remote area, if something were to happen, she had no way to seek help. And what she couldn't understand was how she had provoked him. He had just been a gentle and charming gentleman a moment ago."Aaron, don't forget what you said yourself. Last night, you said we should get along well. But now, you're wearing a fierce and wicked expression. As a grown man, do
This night was unprecedentedly difficult for Elaine. She couldn't straightforwardly ask Aaron for the truth about his identity, nor could she immediately consult with the people in the Smith household. The house had everything, including a television, but there was no phone or computer. It felt like she had returned to those helpless days.If she believed Aaron, it meant she was trusting her closest family members who had all deceived her. If she believed her family, Aaron's acting skills were too convincing. She was truly torn. Even if she could let go of her resentment, she should at least know who the mastermind behind it all was.Finally enduring until dawn, she no longer cared about any three or more days agreement. She was eager to go home immediately and change her clothes before heading downstairs.It was only six in the morning. Surprisingly, Aaron was already awake and strolling in the yard. He wore a white t-shirt and khaki pants, looking like he had just taken a shower. Hi
Elaine felt a surge of blood rushing to her head. In her current state, she was devoid of rationality. The fact that the incident had been so blatantly exposed felt like a knife cutting into her heart, causing excruciating pain.The blaring sound of sirens became muffled as she stood at the doorstep, not knowing how long she had been there. Finally, she saw the discreet black Mercedes approaching from the hillside. She touched her dizzy forehead and as soon as the car stopped, she opened the door and got inside."Miss Smith," the driver hesitated, looking at her through the rearview mirror."What's wrong?" Elaine's tone was not good.The driver quickly glanced at her and then lowered his head. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Mr. Brown is not that kind of person."Elaine sarcastically curled her lips.Seeing her silence, the old driver seemed to want to explain something, but when he saw the coldness in her eyes, he fell silent. He started the car quietly, and Elaine purs
The room was eerily quiet, filled only with Elaine's heavy breathing. Her thin body trembled with extreme anger as she abruptly got up from the bed and strode over to the desk, opening a drawer and pulling out an envelope. Pausing for a moment, she emptied the contents of the envelope onto the table.Her slender fingers picked up a photograph, tightly gripping it. If she hadn't been pushed to her limit, she really didn't want to intentionally harm anyone.Setting down the photo, she picked up a USB drive next to it. She had seen its contents before, and while it wasn't explicit, it wasn't far from it either. Intimate moments between a man and a woman from different angles, but what was most important was that the video was well-shot, clearly showing their faces.If the photo didn't mean much, this video... she held the USB drive tightly and gently opened her laptop with her left hand."Elaine," the butler suddenly knocked on the door from outside.Elaine was startled, looking at the s
