"What's happening with her? Didn't she hate my father-in-law? Why did they end up together again?" Clarice still couldn't grasp how these two people could suddenly see eye to eye.After hearing her question, Julia looked left and right to confirm that there wasn't a single employee nearby before whispering."You didn't hear? She didn't know what to say to Roberto, so he decided to break off the engagement. That little girl saw there was no hope on his side, and with her father instigating her and her father-in-law pursuing her, she might have created images in her head...""So you're saying it's because Roberto gave up on her that she's like this?"If that were really the case, it meant that Samanta also didn't want to marry Filippo. After all, she was a young woman, and what young woman would want to be with a man who could be her father?"That's not all. I think she's very vain, probably doing this because she's jealous that you married into the Murray family. However, I must say, t
"I'm just trying to convince her of the goodness of my heart. If she doesn't listen, there's nothing I can do."She had already said what needed to be said and advised as much as she could, but Clarice wasn't one to meddle in other people's affairs. If Samanta insisted on seeking death, she would be willing to bury her."Just stop crying and pretending to be merciful. You're just afraid that I'll marry someone from the Murray Family, aren't you?" Samanta asked with a smile on her face. "So, go ahead, and inform everyone that I am Filippo's bride, and tell your dear mother-in-law, if she knows what's good for her, to sign the divorce agreement sooner. Don't wait for my son to be born and come knocking with him; then, no one will be well." Samanta said haughtily."Samanta, aren't you afraid?" Clarice didn't know where she found the courage and confidence, but she had challenged her mother-in-law."What do I have to fear? Does Adele dare to pick a fight with my family? Don't think just b
"Never mind, if you can come to meet me, I won't be angry. Please, don't be like this in the future; you know how worried I was about you? I called, but your phone was off, and moreover, you didn't reply to my messages!""My phone ran out of battery. When I managed to turn it on, there were many missed calls and notifications. I couldn't read them, so I might have ignored your calls.""So that's it. I was thinking at that time, why did you run away because you didn't want to buy me a gift?" Alice said and laughed."Silly girl, what gift do you want? I'll buy it for you today, I'll buy everything for you." Clarice laughed."You said that, so sit here for a moment. It's still an hour and a half until we leave work. I'll go upstairs to say goodbye to our manager. Let's take a walk, and you still have to treat me to a luxurious lunch." Alice was not polite with her.After she finished speaking, she took the snacks upstairs.Clarice sat in the resting area next to her and waited for her fo
"It's not that he has tricks up his sleeve, but just thinking about him is enough to make people afraid," Alice said and started eating. How could Clarice have the appetite to eat now? Her entire mind was filled with one question: Why would Edward come to meet John Longhini? What were the two of them talking about when they met?During the meal, she seemed distracted. Alice noticed that she seemed preoccupied with something and couldn't help but ask:"Clarice, are you thinking about Mr. Murray? If you want to go see him, go and say hi. By the way, you might even let him give you a ride home after he finishes his meal.""Then you stay here and eat. I'll take a look and come back, alright?" In the end, Clarice was still a bit worried and decided to go personally take a look."Mm, go ahead. It's right in the first room on the left, in the front corridor." Alice waved her hand, and all her attention was on the delicacies
"Is it really like that?" Clarice asked, but she knew that if Nicholas found out the reason she was here, he might not be happy."Of course, Clarice, the misunderstanding between you and the CEO runs deep. I think you two should have a good conversation long ago." Clarice knew that Luna hoped she and Nicholas could patch things up, but she understood clearly that there was no more misunderstanding between them.Seeing Clarice lowering her head and remaining silent, Luna had no more words to say."Then you should sit here for a while; the CEO's break time is usually half an hour, and he has already rested for ten minutes. If you wait for another twenty minutes, he'll probably wake up.""Alright, go back to work. Don't worry about me." Clarice nodded; she needed some time to carefully think about what to say to Nicholas now and how to explain Edward to him.After Luna left, Clarice was the only person left in the vast office. She leaned back on the s
"It seems like you really care about him." Although that was obvious, hearing her say it with her own words still made him a little uncomfortable.Clarice didn't deny it, but it was true that she didn't want Edward to be harmed. However, she also didn't want to see nephew and uncle mutilating each other. Her silence was a tacit agreement in Nicholas's eyes.Although anger filled his heart, he controlled his emotions and stood up."You can leave; I'll have Luna send you home.""You didn't promise me!" Clarice stood up and walked in front of him. She needed a promise from him, a promise that wouldn't hurt Edward. But it was precisely her actions that infuriated Nicholas completely. He reached out to pinch her cheek and looked at her with an icy face, saying word by word, "Clarice, don't provoke me!""He is your uncle and shares the same blood as you..." She reminded him."So what?""The doctor said he wasn't well, right? If he can't fin
Clarice knew Edward was here and fought with all her might, but the more she panicked, the less Nicholas wanted to let her go. A pair of large hands held her in his embrace, his lips pressed against hers. Clarice wanted to scream, but her lips were sealed; she couldn't make a sound and immediately broke into a sweat.There were three knocks on the door, probably because no one answered, so Edward made his own move and opened the office door. What caught his attention were two people fighting on the couch. The moment Clarice saw Edward's figure entering through the door, she bit Nicholas's lips hard.The moment Nicholas saw the door, he immediately let her go. Clarice bit him. His expression showed pain, but his face revealed a smile. Edward's face turned pale. He took a few steps and ran directly to the side of the sofa, then reached out and pulled Clarice from his embrace, looking coldly at Nicholas."Nicholas, you better explain to me what you did to my wife n
"You don't need to explain to me what happened between you and him. Whatever you want to do is your freedom; however, I hope you think of me." His voice was cold as he started the car and drove straight out of the garage.Clarice didn't know what to say when she heard his words, so there was an even longer period of silence.The atmosphere in the car became heavy, and from time to time, she turned her head to look at Edward's expression, only to realize that he always pursed his lips, and his expression was as cold as his tone of voice."Are you angry with me?" After an unknown amount of time, she finally couldn't bear the oppressive atmosphere and asked. Edward said nothing, but his face was extremely dark. Clarice knew he was genuinely angry, but she didn't understand why he was angry. "You know about my relationship with Nicholas. I came to see him today because..." She was about to explain the reason for being in Nicholas's office today, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Edward
