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
Elaine sat on the sofa, finished drinking a glass of water, and got up to fetch her bag and book from her room, intending to go to school. The housekeeper hurriedly followed her and asked, "Are you going to school?""Yes," Elaine reassured her, knowing what she was worried about. "I can't hide at home forever. I haven't done anything outrageous, so why should I be afraid of what others say?""But..." the housekeeper disagreed.Elaine gently patted her shoulder. "Don't worry."She drove her yellow Beetle to the school, and this time, there were no unexpected incidents along the way. However, when she entered the design department, she encountered two fashionable young women in the lobby on the first floor. Elaine didn't know them.The two women stared at her, obviously recognizing her. One of them, a woman with short hair, said to her face, "To do such a thing and still dare to come out, shameless!"Elaine glanced at her but didn't bother to argue.The woman persisted and suddenly rush
Melissa Garcia and her daughter, Sarah, had just finished the press conference and hurried to Aaron Group. In the comfortable car compartment, Sarah, who had shed tears in front of the camera, now gripped a handkerchief tightly, her eyes filled with resentment."Mom, I don't understand why you made me say those words. It's clearly that shameless Elaine's fault. Why didn't you let me scold her!" Sarah exclaimed.Melissa Garcia looked at her contorted face and sighed inwardly. She had protected Sarah too well, leaving her inexperienced in plotting. Fortunately, she was there. With just one daughter, Melissa naturally wanted to protect her with all her heart.Covering Sarah's hand, Melissa Garcia explained earnestly, "Mom intentionally wanted you to say those words. Think about it, this whole situation was originally Aaron's fault. If you were to angrily confront and scold him, it would only make people think you have a bad temperament. But now, by speaking up for him, people will see yo
Indeed, as Renee said, the B-52 was a visually appealing and enjoyable drink. The intense heat and icy cold collided violently in Elaine's stomach, causing tears to well up in her eyes. However, her heart felt inexplicably relieved. Elaine continued to drink, downing three glasses in a row, tears streaming down her face as she fanned herself with her hand."You're right. This drink... is good," Elaine said with a distant voice.Renee quietly watched her, drinking her own glass in one gulp. Unlike Elaine, Renee didn't express any profound emotions. She merely pursed her lips slightly, her watery eyes filled with a hint of indiscernible sadness.Elaine held an empty glass in her hand, her laughter trembling like blooming fireworks, only to be extinguished in an instant, leaving behind a scene of devastation. Biting her red lips, she suddenly grabbed another glass and downed it, the hoarse sound of her voice carrying a touch of huskiness that tugged at the heartstrings."Before I was fou
The dim light inside the car intensified the enigmatic expression on Aaron's face, making it even more inscrutable. The two of them locked eyes, each seeing the unwavering stubbornness in the other's gaze. Breaking the eye contact, Aaron spoke, "Naturally, I will marry Sarah."In that moment, Renee felt a sense of desolation. She lowered her voice and warned, "Then stop getting involved with Elaine."Aaron looked at her in confusion and asked, furrowing his brows, "What is your relationship with the Smith family?"Renee gathered her long hair and stared at him fiercely. "Remember my words: stop bothering Elaine. She's a good girl, and you can't give her happiness. Don't interfere with others who can.""What do you mean?" Aaron's tone became harsh.Renee pushed the door and got out of the car. Aaron grabbed her, remembering the wedding dress design she had seen her drawing at the resort. His eyes narrowed with a cold gleam. Was she really going to get married?"Be clear about who she i
After leaving the hospital building, Elaine waited for Calvin in the security room of the hospital parking lot. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Calvin finally walked over."Mr. Jones," Elaine called out hurriedly.Calvin stopped and glanced at her, smiling and showing his white teeth. He gently asked, "Elaine, why are you here waiting for me?""Yeah," Elaine nodded and looked towards the hospital building, saying, "Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal. There's something I want to talk to you about.""Sure."The two of them walked one after the other to the parking lot. Soon, the discreet white BMW drove out, and the security guard in the parking lot hurriedly chased after them, holding the lunch box. "Miss Smith, your lunch box..."The two people in the car didn't hear him. The white BMW quickly drove away. The security guard hesitated, holding the lunch box and looking around, unsure of how to handle it."I'll take care of this lunch box for you, Miss Smith," a voice sounded b
Inside the private room, Elaine stared straight at Calvin, her hands tightly clenched under the table. She said, "I overheard your conversation with Mason. I want to say, please pretend you didn't hear anything. Mason is trying to protect me, but I don't want to involve you.""Do you have someone you like?" Calvin stared at her and calmly asked.Although Elaine didn't understand why Calvin asked such a question, she shook her head and said, "No, I don't."Calvin smiled and said, "That's good. Since you don't have anyone you like, then be my girlfriend. I may not have grand ambitions, but I have a good character. I may not be the best man in the world, but I will do my best to treat you well."As he spoke, his gentle gaze remained fixed on Elaine. Despite the presence of glasses, Elaine could still feel his sincerity. In fact, even if he hadn't said anything, Elaine had no doubt about his character. Mason sought his help, which clearly indicated that he trusted him.However, she clench
Elaine's body trembled slightly. She longed for the warmth that Calvin provided, but... her fingers tightly clenched his shirt. After a moment of silence, she tried to pull away from his embrace. Sensing her movement, Calvin tightened his grip, causing Elaine to fall directly into his arms. Her nose hit his chest, causing a slight pain.Calvin chuckled lightly, holding her and walking away. He confidently said, "I think the air here isn't fresh. Let's go somewhere else to eat."He brazenly walked away with Elaine in his arms. As they passed by Sarah, he reached out and pushed her. "You're in the way, move!"Sarah's face turned green with anger. Before the two of them could walk far, she rushed over and grabbed Aaron. "Look at her! She looks fragile on the surface, but behind everyone's back, she's always scheming and seducing Aaron. Look, she's gotten close to Aaron again. Is she really unable to go a single day without a man?"She shook Aaron's arm forcefully, but after waiting for a
