Jackson looked at her calmly, his long nails gently tapping the table as if he was waiting for something. Summer exploded a second later. “How could you ask Tiffany to wash the dishes? A maid would be able to take care of your daily needs and it doesn’t cost much to hire one. What’s this nonsense about not liking to have strangers in the house? Excuses. You’d better change your mindset and go hire a maid, Jack!” Tiffany had never expected Summer to react so strongly. Jackson rushed over to grab the bowl that was in her hands and said, “You see? Are you deliberately trying to get my mum to nag me? Normally you wouldn’t rush to do the chores, but now that my mum’s around, you do? I’ll do it, go get some rest. I don’t wish to see strangers wandering around in my house.”Tiffany rubbed her hands helplessly, muttering, “My bad…”Summer seemed content to see Jackson walking into the kitchen. “Come here Tiffany, let’s talk.”Tiffany smiled as she walked over and sat next to Summer on
Would Jackson, a man who is usually horny, be able to resist the temptation when even she couldn’t? Tiffany did not believe that there was not a man in the world that would be able to resist seduction from other women. She would rather die if Jackson had gone out with another woman when they had just gotten married! Normally, Jackson would just brush off her advances, but not today. Today was the day she could openly ask for it, and there was no way she would miss that chance.Jackson placed her on the bed and straightened himself, ready to leave. Tiffany grabbed onto his sleeve in a flash and said, “Where are you going? Didn’t we agree on it this afternoon? Come on, it’s our wedding day! Can’t you let me do as I please just for today? It’s so difficult to live a plain and bland life everyday…”Jackson burst into laughter and said, “Alright alright! I’m just going for a shower, what are you thinking? I’ll be right back, so you be a good girl and wait for me.”She then let go of his
When it was over, she held his hand up in the air and uttered, “You’re now bound to me by this ring, hence you’re forbidden from looking at other women, not even a glance.”He embraced her from behind, closing his palms and firmly holding her hand. “Would I have to look at other women now that I have you? I stopped looking a long time ago. Get some sleep, I’ll accompany you for your checkup tomorrow.”She turned her head and kissed his forehead. “I can feel the baby moving.”He was slightly surprised, as this was the first time she had said she was able to feel the baby moving. “When?”She said embarrassedly, “While we were doing it just now…”He chuckled and placed his hand on her belly. “It’s got nothing to do with me; your mum’s the one who’s ‘greedy’.”The next day, at the Tremont Estate.The temperature began to drop as the weather changed, causing Smore’s nose to be runny and for him to keep coughing. Arianne was considering taking the day off and sending Smore to the hosp
When they arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology department, Tiffany was so hungry, it made her feel unwell. “I’m so hungry. The doctor previously mentioned not to have breakfast for today’s checkup.”Jackson said to her in a gentle tone, “It’s fine, I’ll bring you out to eat when you’re done with the checkup.”Tiffany did not realise it at that moment, but she was asked to not eat because she needed to have her blood drawn. Well done, Jackson. Tiffany’s face paled and panicked when she saw tubes and tubes of blood being drawn from her.Jackson put pressure on the position where her blood had been drawn with a cotton wool carefully as he said, “It’ll be over soon. Just a little bit more blood to be drawn. You don’t seem like the type to be short of blood, so stop scaring me.”She shot him an angry look. “I’m neither anemic nor dizzy, I’m panicking!”Suddenly, Jackson saw two figures at the hallway through the edge of his eyes. One of them was Tanya while the other was obviously
Tanya did not seem to be lying, but Jackson refused to believe that Alejandro had nothing to do with it.Tanya’s face was pale from nervousness. Her body trembled slightly. She knew that she couldn’t reveal the truth. She never expected to bump into Tiffany and Jackson here. She and Jett would be finished if she failed to convince them.Tiffany looked at Tanya straight in the eye and seriously said, “Look at me. I’ll ask you one more time, are you telling the truth? Is there no one else involved in this? Has anyone else ordered you to do it? Did you do it all on your own? Are things between you and Jett serious?”“Yes, I’m telling the truth,” Tanya replied, word for word. “Jett and I are serious. We’ve already registered for marriage.”Tiffany released a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Let’s leave the past in the past. I won’t argue with you. However, I won’t forgive you either.” Then, she turned around and led Jackson away.Tanya, however, was not relieved when they left. She turne
Janice grinned in vain. “I wouldn’t say that we’re close. It’s just babysitting Mr. Tremont’s kid. I wouldn’t be here today if Mr. Tremont hadn’t sponsored me. Alright, let’s get back to work. I’m still waiting to be confirmed.”The bystanders muttered, “What’re you worried about? You’re definitely going to be confirmed since you’ve got such a good head start. It’s the others who should be worried.”At that moment, their superior looked in their direction. “What’s with all this chatter during working hours? If you want to chat, go home!”With the exception of Janice, everyone did not dare to retaliate and went back to their jobs. She shot her superior an unsatisfied look. She hadn’t been able to meet eye to eye with the old lady for quite a while now!Her superior was no simple woman either. “What’s with that attitude, Janice? Do you detest me? This isn’t your company, so you must obey your superiors. If you want to be a princess, go home!”Janice casually opened a bottle of yogur
Janice instantly choked. She had initially thought that Mark would show her some pity and have some sympathy for her. Now, however, she felt as if her bloodied face was both unbearable and a joke.Seeing her remain in the same spot, unmoving, Mark continued. “Didn’t you say that you can’t stand being in this company any longer? I won’t force you then. If you want to leave, you may do so after settling this matter.”Janice did not expect this outcome. “I just lost myself in my anger for a moment. I was being rash,” she hurriedly said. “This is a great company. I don’t really want to go… I’ll take care of it. Please excuse me.”Mark waved his hand. “Mm. Go. This company isn’t like any other place where you can come and go whenever you please. Please handle matters with more maturity next time.”Janice returned to her desk, ashen-faced. Someone brought a medicine box to help her with her wounds. Having received no rejections from Mark since the very beginning, she had thought that she
Janice felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water. She went into a mild daze, slightly enraged. “What do you mean? My internship is almost over. I’ve been performing very well in my job. Why are you extending it? There has to be a reason, right?”The director calmly replied, “Yes, you’re right. You’ve done very well in all aspects of your job, far more outstanding than the batch of interns from this round, but your attitude is horrendous. You’ve already come to blows with your superior before the end of your internship, ending up battered and bloody. As your superior, allow me to give you a piece of advice. The working world isn’t as easy as it seems. Don’t get too cocky, or you’ll get into trouble. Try to tolerate small issues. There is no need to tolerate big issues; the higher-ups in this company aren’t blind. Aren’t you aware of these things? I heard that you’ve gotten close to Mr. Tremont, so I called him, afraid that you might not be satisfied with my decision. H
