“Damien, why don’t you go downstairs?” Madelynn went upstairs at some point.Damien had a heavy heart, but he was more so angry. He closed Zach’s diary and said, “Coming.”At that time, Madelynn went over.“What’s this?” Madelynn picked up a photo of Zach from Clarissa’s suitcase.Madelynn knew it was Clarissa’s suitcase because Damien would never use a suitcase of such poor quality.She also knew that the notebook in Damien’s hand was related to Clarissa.Damien might have discovered something, which was why he stayed upstairs for so long.“Damien, this man looks just like you!” Madelynn raised her head with surprise, as if she had discovered something new.In fact, Zach and Damien were only 10 percent alike, but when Madelynn said this, it seemed that they were very similar.“Really?” Damien pulled the corners of his lips and said with a grim expression.Madelynn saw Damien’s expression and continued, “Yeah, he looks like you, especially when he smiles!”“Let’s go downstai
Clarissa fantasized about Damien, but she never had hopes about this marriage.She would move out if he wanted her to, and she would not feel like she was at a loss.Clarissa also specially sent a WhatsApp message to Luke. [ Look at what you’ve done! Damien took out his anger on me and kicked me out because you tried to extort him. What do you think I’m worth to him? He’ll only give me some change when he’s happy. I don’t even dare to ask him for money, yet you went to extort him?! ]Clarissa did this to dispel Luke’s idea of continuing to extort Damien and to warn him that Damien was not one to be trifled with.Luke got angry when he saw this message.He could tell that Damien was not a good-natured person nor a fool.“How heartless!” Luke muttered.“Who?” Joseph asked.Luke was the driver of the Moore family and was sending Joseph to the accounting firm.Joseph had his own firm.“Damien Lawrence. He kicked Clarissa out!”“Why?”“I don’t know. He probably just likes to b
Damien ignored Clarissa and wanted to enter the elevator, but Clarissa stopped him.“President Lawrence.”“What?” The elevator door closed again, and Damien did not get on the elevator.“Just a moment.” After speaking, Clarissa rummaged through her bag.She had everything in her canvas bag – a purse, books, tissues, and the small umbrella that took up so little space it was not easy to find.Clarissa could not find the umbrella, so she began to feel apologetic and smiled sheepishly at Damien.“You just finished working overtime?” Damien frowned slightly at her.Damien rarely smiled. Most of the time, his face was expressionless.“Mhmm. Found it!” After that, Clarissa took out the umbrella as if she was doing a magic trick. “President Lawrence, I’ll give you an umbrella, so you won’t catch a cold.”Damien stared at the umbrella and did not take it over. “What’s this?”He thought she was just trying to use an umbrella to please him.After all, as her boss, his attitude determi
Clarissa offended her boss and could not do anything about it.She could only make it up by being more diligent and careful so that Howard would not find a reason to fire her.However, there was one thing that Clarissa did every night, which was to send a WhatsApp message to Damien’s grandfather.Clarissa had been messaging Damien’s grandfather every day since she moved out of the Lawrences’ villa.She sent him a lot of photos of South City, where she was supposedly on a business trip.Damien’s grandfather asked her when she would be back, and she replied. [ Grandpa, the accounts here are very complicated. It might take a while. ][ Grandpa: I miss you! ]Seeing these words that Damien’s grandfather sent her, Clarissa teared up.Her parents used to say this to her.No one said this to Clarissa in a long time.Although Clarissa had many friends and classmates, friendship could not compare to familial love.Clarissa replied. [ I miss you too, Grandpa! ]Damien’s grandfather t
Damien went to a meeting today and happened to pass by Danning Street in the afternoon.He clearly remembered that Zach Stevens lived on Danning Street.Damien told himself, ‘He’s just Clarissa’s first love. He has nothing to do with me, so why should I bother to go to his house?’However, Damien still could not control his curiosity. He asked the driver to stop the car and went to Zach’s house alone.Zach’s house address was written on the title page of his diary.Damien did not know if he cared too much or if he had such a good memory that he could remember Zach’s address so clearly.A middle-aged woman came to open the door for him.“Is this Zach Stevens’ house?” Damien asked.“Yes, and you are…?”“I was Zach’s partner when he was teaching. You can call me Mr. Sanders. I wanted to sponsor computers for Zach’s school, but Zach got into an unfortunate accident,” Damien said.“Mr. Sanders, please come in!” Zach’s mother, Kylie Thompson, quickly pulled Damien’s arm into the ho
Clarissa was very happy and excited after finalizing this matter.It was the first time that Clarissa did this kind of business that was more than 100,000 dollars, so she was a little nervous.Clarissa was afraid that she would encounter scammers or gangsters, so she asked Lily to go with her.Lily did not need to lay low anymore, so she was quite lofty.She agreed to Clarissa’s request without hesitation.“Actually, it’s better to get another man to accompany us for this kind of thing. It’s best if you get President Lawrence to go with you. Who would dare to lie to him? No one would have the balls to do so!” Lily ate some snacks while she talked to Clarissa.“It’s not that simple. We’re not on good terms now. Besides, this has to do with my ex-boyfriend. I’ll be out of my mind to ask him to come with me,” Clarissa said.“Why did you argue with him? You saw how his random act of liking your post changed our situation so drastically. Everyone just wants to suck up to this man, bu
On Sunday at 10 o’clock in the morning, Landon drove his Audi and picked up Lily and Clarissa from their dorms.The factory was located in the Zealand Economic Development Zone, which basically consisted of factories. It was a vast area and was sparsely populated.They arrived at one o'clock in the afternoon.The factory manager, Mr. Sullivan, welcomed them and showed them around the workshop. He even introduced the processes in detail.“Will you ship the computers to Eastfield?” Clarissa asked.“Yes. The factory has a very complete logistics system. You can rest assured, Ms. Johnson.”Clarissa nodded.What Clarissa did not know was that at this time, Damien was sitting in the factory manager’s room, watching the surveillance footage of the whole factory.As soon as Clarissa and her friends entered the factory, Damien spotted them.When Damien saw Landon with Clarissa, he thought to himself, ‘My wife sure is a “heartthrob”! She always has different men around her anytime, anyw
Soon after, Clarissa received Kylie’s WhatsApp message. [ Yes, that’s him. He’s quite handsome! ]Clarissa frowned slightly and thought, ‘It looks like Damien went to Zach’s house. How did he find out about Zach?’She suddenly thought of the diary. Did Damien read it?Was it the day she asked Damien to find her ID?Clarissa quickly sent a WhatsApp message to Mrs. Faber. [ Mrs. Faber, did you find my ID in my suitcase that day? ]Before Mrs. Faber replied, Damien came over.“President Lawrence, Ms. Johnson here wants to discuss the price with you. She wants to order 200 units,” Mr. Sullivan said.“Oh? It turns out that she’s an employee of my company. Why do you want 200 computers?” Damien smiled calmly with a meaningful look in his eyes. However, no one understood it.Lily shivered with fright.Landon also did not know what Damien was up to.He thought that Damien did not want his subordinates to know that they knew each other.Damien wanted to get more information from Land
