Hi my dearest readers, happy reading. Blessings
In the ballroom, Payton’s mother was looking at Rain with venom in her eyes and said, “Should the investor withdraw the funding from the Phillips Group, I will never forgive you.”Rain looked at her mother-in-law, but she didn’t say a word. A surge of anger rose in Grandma Carson’s heart, and she asked, “Mrs Phillips, why are you shifting the blame to Rain?Should Mr Cooper withdraw the funds, you have to blame your son for failing to see the bigger picture. Didn’t you see how Mr Cooper was treating his wife?”A hint of irritation was evident in Mrs Phillips’ voice, and she said, “Mrs Carson, you have no right to interfere in the Phillips family matters. I have the right to discipline my daughter-in-law when she makes a mistake.”Grandma Carson laughed out loud and asked, “Who do you think you are to discipline Rain? Let me tell you, Mrs Phillips. Rain has the protection of the Carson family. Should you touch her, you have to say goodbye to the Phillips Group.”Before Mrs Phillips res
Executive Secretary Klein brought Mr Cooper and his wife to President Phillips. Rain was so happy to see them that she nearly called out their names.President Phillips smiled broadly and said, “Nice to finally meet you, Mr Cooper. This is my wife, Rain, my grandfather, and my parents.”Mr Cooper smiled and replied, “Pleasure is ours, President Phillips. This is my wife, Samantha.” Then President Phillips shook Mr Cooper’s hand and kissed Mrs Cooper on both cheeks.Mr Cooper looked at Rain with a big smile on his face, then he kissed her on both cheeks. Then Samantha hugged her tightly for a long time, beaming with joy.Samantha smiled brightly at Rain and said, “You are so beautiful, Miss Rain. My husband told me that you have a son.” Then she handed an exquisite gift box to Rain.Rain looked at Samantha with a huge smile on her face and replied, “Thank you so much, Mrs Cooper.”President Phillips didn’t want to invite Maddox, but he didn’t have a choice because he was a business par
Gemma laughed out loud and said, “I don’t mean anything, Mrs Phillips. I am just thinking aloud. I am reminded of my best friend, Zara Pearson’s eyes, which are similar to yours. Payton pursued her for a long time to no avail.”Karen looked at Gemma with a confused expression and replied, “If I am not mistaken, Zara pursued Payton because of a bet. Why are you twisting the facts, Gemma?”Gemma shot Karen a cold glare and said, “It’s been a long time, I forgot.” Karen smiled at Rain and said, “Zara Pearson was in love with Maddox, but he didn’t even glance at her. Then she started pursuing Payton to make Maddox jealous.”Gemma gave Karen a warning look and asked, “When did you become a gossipmonger, Karen? It is rude to talk about people behind their backs.”Karen was reminded of Payton’s warning. He had forbidden them from telling Rain about Zara.Karen linked her arm to Rain’s arm and said, “Rain, I asked you here to help me choose a gown to wear to the Celebration Dinner. Where are
At Phillips Group, Payton’s mood was sour the whole day. He decided to call his first love, Zara Pearson, to share the good news with her. When the call was connected, he said, “Hello, Zara. I hope I am not disturbing you.”At that moment, Zara was sleeping beside her boyfriend, Drake Hall. She answered her phone without checking the caller ID. She was so scared she quickly hung up and switched her phone off.Drake looked at Zara, his eyes full of questions. Zara was so afraid of her boyfriend because he was jealous and controlling.Her hands were trembling, but she managed to regain her composure and replied, “I am sorry, my love. Did I disturb you?It was my brother, Austin. I think he wanted to tell me about his operation. I will call him back later.”Drake was aware of Austin’s illness and asked, “Are you going back home to be with your brother during the operation, Zara?”Tears welled in Zara’s eyes, and she replied with concern evident in her voice, “Yes, my love. I want to be t
The following morning, Payton woke up early, took a bath, and then dressed up. He headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. He washed the fruits and cut them into cubes. He placed them on the side plate.In the bowl, he put the cereal, but he didn’t add milk because he didn’t want the cereal to be soggy.When Payton was buying groceries, he didn’t forget to buy his wife’s favourite Greek Yogurt. Then he put everything in a tray and walked to his wife’s bedroom.He felt humiliated when his wife asked Alexander’s housekeeper for food, as if he was not capable of taking care of his wife.He knocked on the door, then he tried to open it, but it was locked. Rain walked to the door and opened it. She was already fully dressed.She looked at her husband with questioning eyes. Payton smiled broadly, then he handed the tray to her and said, “Good morning, Sweetheart. I have prepared breakfast for you as a peace offering.” Rain took the tray and thanked him.Payton smiled broadly and said, “I
Mrs Phillips had been feeling guilty all day. She promised her beloved son that she would never tell Rain about Zara, but she broke that promise.She coughed and replied, “I am sorry, my son. I was angry because when I tried to discipline your wife, she pushed me hard, and I fell on the floor. My body is aching all over.I am sorry that I lied. Please find it in your heart to forgive me, my dearest son.” A surge of anger rose in Payton’s heart when he heard that Rain had laid her hand on his mother.Payton furrowed his brows slightly and replied, “Mom, I love you so dearly. However, Rain is my wife, and you don’t have the authority to discipline her.” Then he hung up.Payton’s gaze was icy cold, and he asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that you hurt my mother, Rain?”Rain looked at her husband and replied, “I didn’t hurt your mother, Payton. She entered my bedroom while I was sleeping, then she shook me roughly. My arm is still hurting even now.Then your mother tried to slap me, and I g
