"Mom, why isn't that old hag, Flora, getting kicked out?" Tracy asked. Downstairs in the hospital, Tracy and Lizzy had been waiting for half an hour. Tracy frowned in annoyance.Lizzy's gaze deepened. "Don't be anxious. Let's wait it out. That fool, Mrs. Rockley, spoils her daughter like anything. She'll definitely cause a ruckus when she hears of this. Maybe Faye is there, which is why it's getting dragged out longer than it should."Tracy scoffed. "It's like Faye has turned into a different person since coming back. She's so gross."Lizzy patted her hands. "Don't worry. I could send her mother to the hospital. Would I be scared of her?"Faye smiled in glee. "That's true. Without Anthon and Dad's protection, she's nothing. Let's just wait for her to beg us for the money to pay for her mother's bills."Lizzy smirked.They weren't just here to provoke Flora. They were mostly here to visit Wendy and seize the chance to butter up Hank's aunt.Tracy and Wendy happened to be classm
Cedric soon returned with their lunch. He had bought quite a few packs of it.They all suited Faye's tastes.Flora couldn't help glancing at Cedric again.He was very calculative. He had a firm grasp of what Faye liked."How can we possibly finish all of these?" Flora's tone was unpleasant. "Wasting food is a shameful thing to do."Cedric smiled. "I didn't know what you liked, so I bought a little of everything. It's alright if you can't finish it all. I'll feed it to stray dogs afterward."There had to be a reason why he was being so considerate.Flora raised her eyebrows. "What if I don't like any of it? Are you planning to feed it all to the dogs?"Cedric smiled. "If you don't like it, I'll just go out to buy you something you like. I'll eat these myself tonight."Flora laughed. "What about the dogs?"Cedric didn't mind. "It doesn't matter as long as you're happy," he told her.Faye glanced at him. Flora was taunting him on purpose, but he was still so good-natured."Mom
Light Moon Designs was a multinational fashion design company founded in Yvalia. In the past, there were only dedicated sales counters for its products. Five years ago, a main office was set up.Rumor had it that their global chief designer, Faye Fischer, had been the reason for the setting up of the main office. Faye Fischer was, of course, Faye's pseudonym as a designer. This was also the reason Lincoln and the others respected her so much.Today, Light Moon Designs was hiring a chief assistant, a designer, and two assistant designers. The chief assistant would report to Faye, so she had to be there in person. It was also why she was scoping out the interview venue alone.There were only four vacancies, but thousands had submitted their résumés. Only 50 or 60 had been shortlisted to be interviewed. It was obvious how tough the competition was. The interviews were scheduled to start in more than ten minutes. Yet, the lounge was already packed with people.Some of the more nerv
"How interesting!" Lincoln smiled slyly. He stood in the security room, watching the scene unfolding in the corridor. "Ms. Fischer is much younger and more fun than I expected." He was already starting to imagine the miracles they could create together. It filled him with energy and drive.In the corridor, Stacy had no choice but to apologize to Faye and Priscilla. Still, she didn't forget to come up with various excuses to explain her behavior. In the end, she made it out to be the young woman and Faye's fault. Faye said nothing. A meaningful smile played on her lips.Lincoln checked the time. "It's almost time. Let's go." He smiled.He then led the director of the design department and the HR manager to the interview venue. When they arrived, things had settled down. Everyone was quietly waiting for the interviews to begin, except for … Faye!She'd gone to the restroom and happened to run into Stacy when she was done. Faye quietly washed her hands, but Stacy deliberatel
Silence descended upon the corridor. The atmosphere became a little awkward. There were no words to describe Lincoln's expression. He cleaned up well but he looked … like a waiter? Even so, this was the first time someone had ever said that about him. He couldn't help bursting into laughter."What are you laughing at?" Anthon frowned. "I can't believe you're selling yourself at such a young age. You're a disgrace to all men!"Faye laughed with a hand over her mouth. She glanced at Lincoln, her gaze seemingly asking, "Are you going to stand for this?"He wasn't, of course. Lincoln was amused and exasperated as he held his head high and looked at Anthon. "Where did this clown come from? Is this how you leave an impression on someone?"Anthon was about to retort when he saw his father, Michael Lynch, running toward them excitedly. "M-Mr. Colt, is that you?"Anthon was stunned. "Dad, what are you talking about?""Mr. Colt, it's great to see you again." Michael pushed Anthon
When Faye knocked on the door, she felt a sharp gaze on her. It was soon replaced by a look of astonishment. She frowned and gestured for Cedric to roll the window down. However, before he could, a bunch of hooligans in black ran over and circled Faye. The man in the lead checked his phone, then looked at Faye. He sneered, "She's the one. Let's get her!"Faye saw five or six men lunging at her with knives. She wasn't in a good mood to begin with, and this only made it worse. She rolled her shoulders and watched as they came at her. "I was just thinking of destressing. At least I have some punching bags now …" It was also a good opportunity to show Cedric the consequences of betraying her.With that thought in mind, Faye slapped the hand of the man in the lead, making him drop his knife. Then, she made quick work of him and flipped him onto his back. Standing beside the car made it harder for her to unleash her full potential, so she moved away from it.Soon enough, she jum
After dropping Lucy off, Faye and Cedric returned to their apartment. It had been furnished and decorated. It looked brand new. Faye nodded with satisfaction. "Not too bad, dude. Is there any money left on the card I gave you? Let me know if you've run out."Cedric wondered whether he genuinely seemed like a boy toy. Still, he couldn't be bothered to explain. "I didn't spend much. Don't worry about the money." Then, he went to the guest room. The rest of the night passed in peace. They both slept soundly.The next morning, Faye was rudely awakened by her phone ringing. The carer she'd hired for her mother told her that Clint was at the hospital. He and Flora were having an argument.Damn, these pests just refused to leave them alone! Faye quickly washed up and ran out of her room. Cedric happened to be dressed and ready to leave. He was confused when he saw her in such a hurry. "Where are you going?""The hospital!" She put on her shoes and turned to leave.Cedric grabbe
"How did you know something would go wrong with Brown Corporation?" Faye appraised Cedric after Clint left.Cedric smiled. "The shop downstairs had the news on. They reported on Brown Corporation's shoddy construction and how their employees were being owed their salaries. I don't think there's anyone in Jeorgia who hasn't heard about it by now."Faye nodded. She wasn't surprised in the least. "The truth would've come out sooner or later." All she'd done was speed up the process."Faye, you knew about this?" Flora sat up worriedly.Faye let Cedric into the ward and helped Flora up. "Mom, don't worry about it. If Clint can't handle this, it'll be tough for Brown Corporation to survive much longer."Brown Corporation was Flora's heart and soul. Though she'd left it in Clint's care after falling sick, she probably wouldn't be able to accept it if it were to go bankrupt. As Faye fed Flora, she said, "The company will be fine!""Really?" Flora sighed. "Over the years, many board mem
