"I'm not trying to do anything. I just want to find out if you'll admit the truth of what you said on this piece of paper," Monica replied. However, Keith remained silent. His entire body was tensed up. Since he wasn't speaking, she started reading the words on the paper slip aloud. "I keep dreaming about her recently. She doesn't belong to me, but I want her. I want to have her. Perhaps I should fight for my own happiness, even if it means snatching her away from another man."Though there wasn't a name mentioned on the slip of paper, Keith's face turned livid after Monica read its contents aloud. In truth, both of them knew clearly who Keith was referring to. The tension in the room heightened, and it seemed that a conflict was about to happen. However, Monica's next move stunned Keith. She nimbly stood up and ripped the paper into shreds. Keith was shocked after seeing that. "What are you doing?""I'm destroying the evidence. I stole this from your room. Since its con
Summer was very worried. James was her husband, so she was extremely worried for his safety. As such, she ran to the living room and called him before she brushed her teeth. Even though she called him a few times, no one picked up. His phone was switched off. That was an important problem. James never switched off his phone, even when he was asleep. He was a businessman, so if he kept his phone switched off, it would affect his work.Where was James? Summer started fretting and decided to go to Quigley Group to look for James.After hurriedly changing her clothes, Summer ran out. However, she ran into Lexi in the garden in the residential area. "Good morning, Mrs. Quigley," Lexi said. She asked, "Why are you in a hurry today?""I'm going to look for James. Something bad must have happened because he didn't come back last night."Summer looked very frantic, and she had even worn her shoes wrongly. She had worn a running shoe on one foot and slippers on the other. After see
"Alright, Mrs. Quigley," Lexi replied. Meanwhile, James was at the Quigley residence. He had drunk too much with his client the entire night, so the bodyguards had taken him back to the Quigley residence. By the time James woke from his sleep, he had sobered up. Once he washed up, he checked his phone and saw Summer's missed calls. He immediately called her back. "Summie? I'm sorry. I drank too much with my client last night.""It's fine. I heard about what happened." Summer was very understanding. Though James hadn't wanted to socialize with his client, he'd still had to do it. "Rest well and don't work too hard. Didn't you tell me before that you'd give the work to your subordinates? You have to make good use of your employees."Summer recalled their conversation from a week ago when they had talked about how to select employees. Though it had made her sleepy, she still remembered it. After getting a lecture from Summer, James could only nod and say, "I'll rest well. You
Caroline started laughing and said, "Please don't blame him, Layla. My son doesn't like to speak much."Layla replied, "Why would I blame him? I used to meet him frequently in the past. He's a smart and capable man. It's an advantage for men to speak less and do more." After that, she observed James like she was admiring an art piece and nodded in satisfaction. Her gaze made James uncomfortable. He turned away and said coldly, "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. I have work to attend to at the company." At first, Caroline wanted to stop James so they could chat more. However, before she spoke, the young woman sitting on the couch spoke up. Suzanne wore a long, patterned skirt and had wavy hair. She also had a curvaceous figure and looked rather innocent. Seeing that James was about to leave, she hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Quigley. Do you remember me?"James turned around. He didn't know who she was, so he said, "I don't recognize you."Although Suzanne had kn
"James, where are you going? It's noon now. Why don't you stay here for a meal?" Caroline asked gently. Suzanne and Layla stood behind her. After looking at the people behind Caroline coldly, he replied, "It's fine, Mom. I still have a lot of matters to settle at the company.""Work is never-ending, but you've come back home after a long time. Shouldn't you stay for a meal?" Caroline knew that James was very stubborn and wouldn't change his mind easily. As such, she lowered her voice and questioned angrily, "Now that you've moved out with Summer, are you going to cut ties with me? Are you going to be an ungrateful son?"James couldn't refuse Caroline after hearing her words. So, he went back to eat. After all, she had already chided him for being ungrateful. If he didn't listen to her orders, he would be put in a difficult position. There were many tasty dishes on the dining table in the Quigley residence. Although the Quigleys always ate luxurious food, the meal seemed more ma
Caroline felt a little awkward. Initially, she had invited Layla and Suzanne to have a good chat. When she had realized that Suzanne knew James, she had been very happy. However, James just treated her like she was invisible. To diffuse the awkwardness, Caroline asked, "Suzanne, since you recognize James, why don't you two introduce yourselves to each other?" Then, she said, "You can't be rude, James. The Camberwells and our family have many collaborations. You're the president of Quigley Group, and Suzanne will take over Camberwell Group in the future. So, you two have to establish good connections with each other."Caroline spoke very seriously, and it seemed like an order. Actually, James knew what she was thinking, but he didn't expose her. After all, she was right. Quigley Group and Camberwell Group had many collaborations with one another. So, they had to introduce themselves to each other properly. He placed his fork down and looked at Suzanne seriously. "Hello, Ms. C
"James, why don't you drop Layla and Suzanne home after the meal?" Caroline wanted to give Suzanne and James an opportunity to talk to each other. However, James replied coldly, "I need to settle some problems in the company after this, so I'll get the driver to send them home.""A driver? You're so disobedient. How could I be at ease if the driver takes them home? Moreover, you're the president of Quigley Group, and you have to collaborate with the Camberwells. You should seize the opportunity to interact well with Suzanne." Caroline's voice became stern; it seemed like she would become furious if James refused her orders. Layla said, "Yes, Mr. Quigley. Our families are on good terms with each other. After Suzanne takes over Camberwell Group, you two will dominate Rosseera City's finance sector. "The Camberwells and the Quigleys were close with one another and had to collaborate frequently, so James couldn't reject the suggestion. Since it involved work, he could only agree t
Suzanne had just returned from overseas, so she hadn't known that James was married. If not for the call earlier on, she would have assumed that James was single. Caroline wanted to smooth things over, so she smiled tenderly. "James is married, but his partner isn't that perfect yet. We're still keeping an eye on her."Her words evidently implied that she disliked Summer. Yet, James replied coldly, "I like Summer, and I'll like her forever."The mood was ruined, and everyone became unhappy. No one knew what to say. That was exactly what James had wanted; he had wanted everyone to know that he was married so that they wouldn't come up with any strange ideas. After finishing the meal, James dropped Suzanne and Layla home. Yet, none of them spoke in the car. Layla and Suzanne knew that James was upset, so they didn't dare to speak at all. Once they returned to the Camberwell residence, Suzanne became very angry. She complained, asking, "Mom, what's going on? Why is James marri
