"No, are you willing to sacrifice your life for work?" His illness shouldn't be aggravated by overwork. Yet, he stayed up late and got up early, and he didn't take his medicine on time.Margot disagreed with him and complained, "You can't do this. At least sleep until 6:00 am."Curtis was already dressed and rubbed Margot's head with a gentle smile."What's the difference between 5:00 am and 6:00 am? You go back to sleep, I'm leaving.""Don't."Margot hastily followed him in her pajamas. "If you insist on going to the company so early, then let me heat up your medicine for you."Curtis saw her running ahead and felt helpless.He could heat it up himself.Damn it, his return only made Margot unable to rest well.It looked like he wouldn't be coming back tonight.During the meal, Margot heated up the medicine and handed it to Curtis.After taking a few sips, Curtis said, "You really don't need to worry about me. I'll just be busy for these few days.""If you don't want me t
At noon, Margot had already prepared lunch.Benjamin's grandmother came to visit him, so she left Lilac with the old lady to accompany Benjamin while she went to the company alone to bring food for Curtis.She was worried about his health. She was afraid that he wouldn't eat and take his medicine on time, thus worsening his condition.So she had to make the trip herself.When she arrived, she was met by Curtis' secretary.The secretary knew Margot and respectfully guided her into Curtis' office."Please have a seat. Mr. Crosby is having a meeting in the conference room. I'm not sure when he'll come out."Margot nodded.She put down the lunch box and sat on the couch, waiting for a long time.When she saw that it was almost noon and Curtis hadn't returned yet, she couldn't hold back and went out of the office to look for him.At this time, all the employees in the secretary's office had gone to lunch, and there were only a few people left on this floor.Some of them avoided M
No one spoke now.Curtis glanced at everyone and caught a glimpse of Margot standing outside the glass wall.He knew that she was waiting for him.Not wanting to be delayed by these old people, Curtis continued, "During my absence, did Chester suddenly have superhuman abilities? Can he manage so many departments on his own? If everything depends on him, then what do I need all of you for?"I don't care if you turned a blind eye to the company's problems during my absence, or if you deliberately caused them. But listen to me, this company is Crosby's. Not just any son-in-law can come in and change it after a few successful projects."If I have the ability to sit in this position, then I have the ability to keep it."If anyone still wants to play factions and deliberately find fault, then don't blame me for being rude. As you all know, I've never been one to show familial favoritism."As he spoke, his cold eyes looked at Lucas.As if warning him.Lucas snorted coldly. Although h
In a moment, he praised, "Your cooking skills are getting better and better."Margot looked at him worriedly. "What's going on with the company? Is the problem serious? If necessary, we can ask Calvin and the others...""Margot, I'll handle my own affairs. There's no need for anyone else's help."He had just borrowed billions from Gabriel this morning.Although it was far from enough, he couldn't afford to involve his wife's family."Okay."Seeing that he didn't want to tell her the detailed situation of the company, she didn't ask further.Seeing that he had almost finished eating, she pushed the medicine towards him.Curtis picked it up and drank it in one gulp.Then he looked at Margot and smiled slightly."The food you make is delicious, even the medicine tastes sweet.""So, does that mean you only eat when I supervise you?"If she hadn't come today, he probably would have forgotten to eat again.Even though Curtis looked haggard, he still pretended to be nonchalant."N
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Margot.""Okay, I'll wait for you at home. Remember, you have to be home before 7:00 pm.""I got it. Margot, you should go back now."Margot didn't want to delay his work. As long as he promised to go home, that was enough for her. She left the company with the lunch box.When she got home, she immediately called the people in charge of her jewelry stores in Emeria. She instructed them to sell all the jewelry stores and transfer all the money to her.Margot knew that she didn't have much money, and she knew Curtis must be in desperate need of money right now. She would give him as much as she had.Just after she hung up, Natalie called her.Natalie got straight to the point. "Margot, is Curtis okay?"Margot was very suspicious. "He's fine, why?""I saw Curtis' company on the news, being criticized by many netizens. But I'm glad that he's fine. I have some money here. Even though it won't help much, you can still transfer it to him for me."Margot wa
When she heard Curtis' words, Margot felt a sharp pain in her heart. Frowning, she looked at him with hurt eyes and said uncomfortably, "Do you really need to be so harsh?"Of course, she knew that she was no longer his wife. But even if they weren't married, she still wanted to do everything she could to help him. Why was he so ungrateful? Was his pride so important to him?Curtis had already stood up by the side of the bed, realizing that he had gone too far. He tried to explain, "I just feel that a man shouldn't use a woman's money no matter what. I know you're doing it for my own good, but I can't accept it. You go to sleep. I'm going to the company."He couldn't sleep in this situation anyway, so he might as well go to the office and keep busy.He turned around to go to the closet to change his clothes.Margot sat on the bed with a broken heart. "Curtis, do you have to do this? What time is it? You're going to the company now?"Trying to suppress the discomfort in her he
Margot believed that Curtis had the ability to get through this.Curtis just grunted and didn't say anything more as he picked up the medicine and left.Chester was still waiting outside at the door.When the two of them left the villa courtyard, it was still dark outside.Margot stood at the door and watched them go. Only after the car's figure disappeared from sight did she dejectedly close the door and return to the house.As she went upstairs, she ran into Calvin who was getting ready to go downstairs.Calvin saw that Margot's eyes were a little red, as if she hadn't slept well. Calvin asked, "Are you okay?"Margot shook her head.Calvin gestured for her to come over. "Come, I have something for you."Margot followed Calvin to his room.He took some cards out of the drawer and handed them to her. "I just found out that Curtis' company is in trouble. The total amount here is almost a hundred billion. Give it to him first."He had checked online and knew that Curtis would
Anya harbored resentment in her heart. Why was it that they were both daughters of the Crosby family, but it was Curtis' three-year-old daughter that got to inherit everything? This made her even more convinced of her husband's intentions. They must overthrow Curtis and become the dictators of Regal Enterprises, the owner of the Crosby residence.However, Anya did not know that her husband's actions would lead to the bankruptcy of Regal Enterprises, or even into debt. When Margot saw Anya coming towards her, she nodded politely and said, "Hello, Aunt Anya."She then instructed her daughter in her arms, "Lilac, greet Aunt Anya." Lilac sweetly called out, "Hello, Aunt Anya." Anya looked at the child with hatred. She wished she could kill her. Then all of the Crosby family's wealth would fall into her hands. Glancing coldly at Margot, Anya said fiercely, "What are you doing here? How do you still dare to show up at the Crosby residence?" Margot could understand her sud
