"Dad, you should tell me in advance so I can pick you up at the airport."Harry calmly stepped over the broken glass, walked up to Albert Handerson, and bowed solemnly to him. His calm voice made him even angrier.Albert placed a thick file of documents on the table. An angry voice echoed throughout the large living room, "Why did you cut off the funding sources for the London branch? I gave you the takeover of the company but I didn't tell you to destroy it."He slowly stood up straight without Albert's permission. Sitting down on the chair, he crossed his legs and looked straight into his father's eyes. From childhood to adulthood, the Handerson family strictly educated their children. If his father didn't let him sit, he would never be able to sit.But today, Harry did not care about that anymore.He smiled softly, his expression very calm and gentle as if he had anticipated the situation, "Did she ask you to advise me? If she has time, she should give up the money to save her son
Bang!Selena angrily slammed the car door shut. She threw her bag forward and stomped her foot on the car floor without being able to say a word.David saw her sitting in the car and immediately sat up straight, wincing a little at her harsh actions, "Selena, what happened?"“That bitch Emma! She didn't choose me as a promotion model for her company's project. She even dared to humiliate me in front of everyone. Unbelievable! OMG, so infuriating!" Selena replied grumpily.“Emma? Is she already working at her family's company?" David was a bit surprised. Up until now, he knew that Emma had always fought with her family to be free to pursue the job she liked. He did not expect that one day she would accept to join the family company according to her father's wishes.Selena frowned tightly. She tilted her head to look at David, "Hey David! I'm talking about being offended by Emma. Why do you always care about that bitch?"David started the car, turned the steering wheel, and prepared to
Charles Edward used his strength to break David's arm, causing him to cry out in pain. Kicking David aside, he elegantly dusted off his hands and said with a smile:"Sir, please don't appear at our company next time. If I see you again, I will definitely call the police to report you for harassment." He threatened with a tone dripping with amusement.David held his arm in pain and slowly stood up. Anger was clearly visible on his face, he shouted harshly, "I will sue you first for intentionally hitting me..."Before finishing his sentence, when he saw Charles's face clearly, he mumbled a few words and then fell silent. He pointed straight at Charles's face, his eyes narrowed slightly, his voice somewhat uncertain:“Charles? Chairperson student council…"Charles did not pay attention to David's warning. He nudged David's shoulder and strode toward Emma, his smile warming her day like the first rays of dawn, "Boss, everything is alright?"Emma was still bewildered by the situation happe
"Selena," Emma's voice dripped with icy calm, “If you covet my man, you can tell me in advance. Who knows, maybe I would step aside and give in. Don't turn yourself into a ruminant like that, okay?" Emma tried to stay calm.On the other end of the phone, Selena laughed sarcastically, “Your man? Do you think I don't know your relationship? Do you dare to give in?”Selena's attitude was extremely challenging, she was proud as if she were the winner, "How noble of you. He is the CEO of HJS Group. You must be so sorry that you're about to cry... But now, you know, he seems to really like me."Emma's fingers clenched tight, her breathing even, refusing to rise to Selena's bait. If she turned crazy and cursed at Selena right now, it would prove that she lost as Selena predicted.“Why did you do this to me? Didn’t we used to be best friends?" Emma asked gently, her voice trembling slightly as if she was trying to control her emotions.Selena's laughter was extremely shrill, “Best friend? You
"How do you feel about this plan, Miss Emma?"A man, standing next to the projector screen showcasing his plan, turned to ask Emma as soon as he finished speaking. As the leader of the meeting, all eyes in the room were pinned on her, awaiting her opinion."Miss Emma?" Seeing no response from her, the man inquired again.Charles gently tapped Emma's arm. Only then did she seem to snap back to reality. Even with meticulous makeup, the dark circles under her eyes couldn't be fully concealed. This drained face was a stark contrast to the usual energetic Emma.The rest of the attendees silently exchanged glances."Miss Emma, you have been overworking yourself recently. I think you should leave early and rest. I will compile the report of today's meeting and email it to you," suggested the Director of the R&D department, breaking the silence.Charles, filled with concern, looked at Emma. Without waiting for her reply, he stood up, "I agree. Miss Mia, could you please take over for her? She
"Madam, things are not as you think. Boss is just concerned while he was away..." Tony Smith hurriedly stood up, explaining seriously while Harry remained utterly composed.Emma was so furious that she found it hard to breathe, her chest heaving, indicating she was trying to keep her anger in control:"Harry Handerson, I genuinely believed you were kind-hearted towards me. I even think our two-year contract will pass peacefully, at least with you always caring for and respecting me. But now, I see I was wrong. You don't give me any privacy, and even when you have other women outside, I don't have the right to speak up... It's about the $10 million, right? I will find a way to pay you back right now."Harry frowned, grabbing her wrist and pulling her back as she attempted to leave, "Who told you I have other women outside?""Are you playing dumb? Once my company's project is successful, I'll repay you. Then, I'd have every reason to demand that you terminate our contract, right?" Emma
The cashier looked up at her computer screen. Her voice was gentle and polite, "Miss, how would you like to pay?""By debit card, please." Emma quickly replied, handing her card to the cashier.However, a sudden idea crossed her mind, and she swiftly pulled the card back, extracting a black card from her purse that she had never used before, "Use this one instead."This black card was given to her by Harry before he left for his two-week business trip. He told her that if she wanted to shop, she could use his card, ensuring her that money would never be an issue with him. Yet, Emma had never touched it. Partly because she was not the type to splurge on high-end brands. Moreover, basic shopping needs had never been a problem for her. She was financially independent, so why lean on him?But if he could casually spend $5000 on a dress she had chosen for Selena, why shouldn't she use his money? If he wanted to flaunt his wealth, she would spend it all!Wandering around the mall lightened
When Emma woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.Sunlight streamed into Harry's room, only to be blocked by the luxurious silk curtains. The room was dimly lit. She shifted a little to sit up and found herself tightly embraced by Harry's strong arms.Even in his sleep, he held onto her this way. Did this man have a violent tendency? Emma frowned.A slight movement sent a sharp pain from between her legs, reminding her of their intimacy from the previous day. He was like a wild beast, relentlessly thrusting into her, even as she pleaded with him to stop. After leaving the bathroom, she thought they were done, but he took her again in the kitchen, then on the sofa, and finally, in the bed.Emma gazed down at her bare body, noticing the prominent hickeys. Her cheeks involuntarily flushed, but recalling how he coldly forced her as if she were a mere tool for his orgasm, her heart turned icy.She turned to look at Harry. His sleeping face was as handsome as ever, but his brows were
