Chapter 1 Marrying the Lockwood's Son (Part 1)

Author: Ann1
"If you think you can do it, put yourself out there and make more money. I'm the homemaker. If it weren't for me, can you even single-handedly support this big family?"

Adeline Simpson, who had just returned home, overheard a shrill voice coming from her house. Her brows furrowed, and she stopped at the doorway. She could feel the tension in her house even before stepping in.

Hearing that the sound of footsteps stopped abruptly, a toadying middle-aged man's voice rose, "Helen, Adeline will be back soon. Lower your voice!"

"So? You have the guts to do it but not the backbone to admit it? Ronald, if it weren't for your misjudgment, the company wouldn't have lost three million dollars. You should think about how you are going to make up for this loss!"

"Helen..."

"Dad!" Adeline called out. She waited until the voices in the house stopped before she walked in. She saw her father, Ronald Simpson, sitting on the couch with a frown on his face.

"Adeline, you're home!" Ronald raised his head to look at her. He smiled bitterly and asked, "Did you hear everything Helen said earlier?"

"Well, is the company in a pickle now? Judging from Aunt Helen's tone, it doesn't sound good!"

Adeline said as her eyebrows knitted in worry.

Although the family wasn't doing badly, the company's operations for the past few years had been getting worse. Ronald was often rebuked by Helen Quartley, Adeline's stepmother, because of it.

Ronald was the breadwinner in the family. After being scolded so many times, he must have felt uneasy. However, he dared not speak up with Adeline there.

Smiling, Ronald changed the topic and asked, "Have you had your dinner, Adeline? Why don't I ask Rosa to warm some food up for you? Since you're usually at school and don't come back that often, this time you can stay longer, right?"

"Dad, don't you remember? It's Independence Day tomorrow. We will have a three-day-long holiday," Adeline nudged.

"Is that so? My memory has been failing me these days. I've completely forgotten!" Ronald stood up and looked at Adeline, who was almost as tall as him. The smile on his face widened.

"Dad, if there's anything wrong with the company, you must let me know. I'll find a way to help you!"

Helen, who had returned to the living room, overheard Adeline's words and immediately said, "Find a way? What do you think you can do?"

Turning her head in Helen's direction, Adeline curled the corners of her lips a little. She softly replied, "Aunt Helen, I'm only trying to help Dad."

"Help dad? Or do you just want to take over the company?" said someone lazily. A young girl in a pink princess dress came down the stairs. She scoffed as she eyed Adeline.

"Zoey, don't talk to your sister like that!" Ronald looked at his younger daughter, Zoey Simpson, and gently chided her.

Helen sat on the sofa and mocked, "I think Zoey is right. Maybe Adeline feels threatened now that Zoey is grown up. That's why she's trying to infiltrate the company now to help so that she can take over the company."

"Aunt Helen, you worry too much! I'm a performing arts student. I won't be taking over the company."

"Am I?" Helen snorted. "Who knows? Maybe one day you'll really take over the company!"

"Helen!"

Ronald's face darkened as he looked at how Helen and Zoey were ridiculing and mocking Adeline.

Helen stood up and said to Zoey, "Let's go, Zoey. We're not as adept as them!"

As she walked by Adeline, Helen suddenly stopped in her tracks. And she sneered, "I heard that the Lockwood family is looking for a July-born girl old enough to get married. You fit the bill, right?"

    "Xiaowan..." Christiano yelled at the top of the mountain. His sorrowful voice lingered around the valley for a long time... A year later... The Lockwood family in Caulford City was the wedding day of Sandrino and Gu Xiaobei's wedding. Almost all the influential people in the business world were present. The wedding was very lively. When Gu Xiaobei heard that her big belly was slowly showing up, Sandrino hurriedly went up to her and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay in your room? Why did you come out?" "Is it really boring to stay in the room? Besides, it's my wedding today. As a bride, of course, I should come out and have a look!" Looking at Gu Xiaobei, who was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, Lu Yangzhe's face was full of helplessness and love. A year ago, the trap of the Huya Mountain was destroyed. Adeline, Bai Qian'er, and Alice were all missing. Lu Yang was seriously ill. Bai Ye and all of Kaiser's followers were a

    "What's wrong with you?" Seeing that no one was talking, Gu Xiaobei just looked at her stupidly. "Adele, your president is..." "It's my dad!" Before Bai Ziqi could finish her words, she was caught by Gu Xiaobei. "The reason why Brother Lu's case can be found out so quickly is also because of you?" "Not entirely. I just mentioned it to my father when I went back, but he said that it was a matter of your country. Because it didn't involve other countries, he couldn't show up. Just when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly sent an email, which was full of crimes committed by Queen Yea over the years. Because the crime committed by Queen Yea has seriously affected many countries, my father asked people to investigate it. What followed is what you saw." Gu Xiaobei's words were very relaxed. Bai Zixi sighed and said, "No wonder. I was wondering why the U.S. was so straightforward this time. It turned out that there was someone behind it." As he

    Nan Xin looked at Xiaodong carefully and found that he was not uncomfortable, so he stopped asking. At this time, Adeline woke up. "What's wrong with me?" "You fainted just now. Maybe it's because of the poison barrier here. But now you have taken the herbs that specialize in treating the poison barrier. It's all right." "Sorry to have caused you so much trouble." As he struggled, Adeline saw Bai Ye and the European Emperor confronting each other with guns. "Bai Ye, you actually dared to secretly bring Su and the others here behind Queen Kaiser's back. Are you trying to steal those treasures for yourself?" Bai Ye sneered and looked at the Ou Emperor, saying, "Emperor Ou, since you found out, I'm not afraid of you knowing. What can you do to me if I want to monopolize those treasures, or are you willing to be a dog around her?" "Bai Ye, Queen Kaiser treats you well. Don't you think you're ungrateful?" Hearing this, Bai Ye laughed out loud.

    Early the next morning, Adeline and the others were woken up by the sound of gunshots. "What happened?" Alice opened the zipper of the tent and walked out. They saw that their tent had already been surrounded by Bai Ye's men. Soon, they knew what was going on. However, soon after, the gunshots came to an abrupt end. Adeline didn't seem to mind at all, only tightly holding Little Dong in his arms. "It seems that some people can't wait to start." "Xiaowan, do you think Ling Yu and Tang Qi will be discovered by them?" There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Luo Luo said with some fear. Compared with Alice, he was calmer. He comforted her and said, "Don't worry. Since they know our purpose, they won't act on their own." "Luoluo, you have to trust Ling Yu." "Yes." At this time, Xie San's voice came from outside the tent. "Xiaowan, get ready. It's time to go." Xie San's voice was low and deep, very pleasant to listen to.

    "Since he is leading the way, let's take him with us!" Adeline pulled the child to his side and glared at the two men with an ugly expression. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Simpson." "Time to go!" Looking at their backs, the man next to Bai Ye said unhappily, "Why is Old Master so partial to her?" "Whether we can find the treasure or not depends on them. Let's follow them for the time being." How could someone who had accomplished great things care about these trivial matters? "Sister, I want to go home." As soon as the little boy got rid of the men's hands, he cried loudly. Adeline knew that Bai Ye would never agree to let him go. The reason why she took him to her side was that she hoped that she could take more care of him along the way. "I'm sorry, little brother. This sister helped you temporarily, because she was caught by them just like you." "Don't worry. Staying with us is better than staying with those p

    Taoping Town was an ancient town. It was surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. Perhaps because of the natural environment, all the people here lived a particularly happy life. Young people would go out to adventure, and some old people would stay in the estate left by the ancestors of the guardian. Perhaps it was because of the special environment here, and there were often grave robbers here. However, the appearance of so many people this time made the people of Tanping Town a little scared. Everyone would stand at the door of their own houses and look at those people. "Grandpa, what are these people doing here?" A little boy looked up at the old man standing beside him and asked in a low voice. "No matter what they are doing, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Let's go inside." "Are they here for the baby tiger?" As soon as he finished speaking, the old man covered his mouth in a hurry, and his face changed slightly. He scolded angrily,
