A black Maybach drove past two rows of tall Chinese parasol trees and arrived at the Fudd’s mansion hidden among them.Shrouded by the dark night, the Fudd’s mansion appeared more solemn and lofty than ever.Heaton Fudd entered the house and saw John Fudd sitting on the sofa in the living room. He greeted politely, “Father.”John Fudd’s hoary hand was clutching onto his crutch as he snorted coldly, “If you see me as your father, find yourself a wife quickly. Find Little Jelly Bean a mother! Don’t wait until I’m dead and you’re still not married!”For the past three years, John’s biggest complaint about Heaton was none other than him failing to find girlfriend and getting married. Recently, the old man had been urging him to get married frequently.Heaton dealt with the situation calmly. “I’m fine with the daughters from the Quinn, Zharko, Lewis, and Sullivan family. I don’t mind marrying anybody. However, you do know that Little Jelly Bean doesn’t like those ladies at all.”Fueled by a
It was 10 am the next morning. Verian saw a crowd of people in the hall on the first floor as soon as she stepped into the Fudd’s Group. They were all holding onto their resumes, waiting in line to attend the job interview. Strangely, about 99% of the interviewees were women. Moreover, they were young and pretty.A slight frown knit Verian’s brows together. ‘Is it a special day today? Why are there so many job applicants?”“Excuse me, are you guys here for the interview?”Donning a pink mini skirt, a young and tender lady looked Verian up and down and said, “You’re also here for the interview? You dress like an old-fashioned nun, do you think President Fudd will fancy you?”Verian was left speechless. “,,,”Subconsciously, Verian took a look at her attire. She was wearing the most common outfit one would wear to an interview; a white blouse tucked in a hip skirt and a pair of simple 3centimeters heels. How could she look like a nun?A person in charge came over to handle the interview
“President Fudd, please watch yourself!”Heaton stared at her flushed face tinged with anger with an indifferent gaze. He lowered his head, bringing his head next to her ear. Then, he started to speak unhurriedly, “Miss Mont said that I’m a businessman. Businessmen seek nothing but profits; we don’t trade at a loss. What do you have that is worth enough to be exchanged with the villa?”His deep voice was cold and thin. His fathomless dark eyes stared straight at her side face. He spoke the words
‘The envelope should be holding hair samples both from the woman and Little Jelly Bean...”Nancy went into the office. “This is the final draft. Take a look, if there’s no problem, sign it.”Heaton took over the document, glanced through it, picked up his black pen and signed his name with a flourish.She took a deep breath. Unable to hold back herself, she asked, “I saw Zander and a few people busy interviewing girls since this morning to find you a wife. Are you sure you want to hire a wife? H
Verian heaved a sigh and sat down beside Little Jelly Bean. She looked at her and said, “Your name is Little Jelly Bean, am I right?”The little munchkin frowned and glared at her. “Did the principal tell you my name?”“You’re so cute and you have such a nice name. Why are you fighting with the other kids?”Little Jelly Bean crossed her arms. “Hmphh! They all said that I’m a liar! Jelly Bean doesn’t lie! They don’t want to play with me; I don’t want to play with them too!”The little munchkin tu
The little munchkin nodded her head seriously. “Yes!”The principal walked over to them with a faint smile and said, “It looks like Teacher Mont had settled the issue.”“So, did I pass the interview, principal?”“Of course. You may start an art class with the children if you’re free this afternoon.”…Verian got along very well with the children. Probably because she gave birth to a kid three years ago, she had the patience and was very affectionate when it came to dealing with the group of chil
The Maybach disappeared in a cloud of dust. Heaton’s cold gaze was fixated on the diminishing figure in the rear-view mirror.The little munchkin sitting next to him climbed onto his lap mischievously. Her tender and fair hands held her father. “Daddy, why can’t Monty join us for dinner?”Heaton lowered his eyes. He caressed his daughter’s head with his big hands and patiently asked, “Jelly Bean, you really like Monty that much?”“Yes!” The little munchkin blinked her dewy eyes and nodded her he
“Auntie, are you okay?”Jensen rushed out from the villa, expressing concern to his ‘mother-in-law’. Verian cast an emotionless glare at him. Carrying the portrait, she strode out of the villa.Jensen caught up to her before she walked out of the Navy Road area. He grabbed her wrist and asked, “Why did you come back?”She scoffed. “Why can’t I come back?! Jensen! Stop disgusting me!”Forcefully, she tugged her wrist out from his hands. Her bloodshot eyes glared at him in anger, just like an anim
