While they were talking, Miss. Versta passed by.Louis's eyes followed Miss. Versta's movements and then stuck to her, "Miss. Versta, you look really beautiful today..."Mark: "..."He shouldn't have wasted that bit of sympathy...Haley walked with Ivan to the balcony.The two of them, one with captivating beauty and the other astonishingly handsome, walked side by side to the balcony, instantly attracting countless attention."Oh my god, as soon as Cuenca's number one beauty returns, she steals Ivan's heart?""Isn't Ivan uninterested in women? Why would he go to talk to Haley alone?""We're done for. Now that Haley is back, will we still have a way out?"The socialites sighed as if their vitality had been sucked away.They still remembered when five years ago, Haley had made her debut.Whenever Ms. DeRoss attended a banquet, wherever she went, she would shine brightly. Even if she didn't wear any makeup and dressed in the simplest clothes, she would still be the most dazzling presenc
Haley patted his head, "Let's go, I'll go find Angela with you."She had already shone at the banquet, there was no need to continue dealing with those scheming people, it was better to spend more time with the children.The two held hands and went to the lounge upstairs.Madam Martínez was old and did not like attending parties. She had not been present at the entire evening, and had been taking care of Angela in the lounge.May and Barbara didn't want to see Haley showing off, so they also stayed in the lounge to accompany Madam Martínez.Angela sat on the balcony reading a book, her fair skin captivating like milk.Her long feathery lashes were like a dense little fan, casting a faint shadow on her porcelain-like skin.Sitting there, she was like a shining child star in a movie. When she grew up, she would definitely be a stunning beauty.May Martínez' eyes turned green from jealousy, she sighed and said, "Angela is so beautiful. She will be even more outstanding than Haley, it's j
"Wuwuwu, grandma, it was that mute girl, the mute girl bullied me!"As soon as Jerry saw his grandmother, he instantly gained confidence and started complaining.May looked up and saw Angela standing behind Owen, her face filled with indifference and hostility.Her anger flared up instantly. This wild child was not a first-time offender.She bullied her grandson! She angrily rushed over, reaching out to grab Angela's ear.Owen, on the other hand, pushed her away: "I was the one who hit him. What, you want to hit back?"He was only four years old and not very tall, but his presence was towering at 1.8 meters.He stared with a pair of eyes, those sharp eyes were just like Ivan's, and it left the May dumbfounded."Grandma, it was him who had someone throw us into the flower bed!" Jerry cried out loudly.The other children also chimed in, "Yes, it was him. His bodyguard threw all of us into the flower bed.""He even had someone throw a clump of mud into my mouth! Wah wah wah, Mom, you mus
Ivan tightened his jaw.He actually didn't see anything, he only heard the sound of the children crying.When he walked over and saw the dirt-stained little girl, the fire inside him couldn't be restrained.Such a cute little girl would never willingly hit someone.Therefore, it was clear that she had been bullied.As expected, with just a bluff from him, those high-ranking ladies immediately retreated.Ivan cast a cold gaze at Owen's bodyguard.The bodyguard stepped forward and respectfully reported, "Those children were teasing this young lady for being mute, and a fight broke out between the two sides. The young master couldn't overlook it, so he ordered his subordinates to help the little girl vent her frustrations."She can't speak? Mute? Ivan's heart sank. His pitch-black eyes froze for a moment.He looked at Angela, and a dull pain slowly spread in his chest.He crouched down, at the same height as the little girl, and waved his hand: "Come here. Let me see where you're hurt."
Why didn't he have a daughter? Why did he have two sons in his family?If he had a daughter, he would definitely spoil her and make her the most enviable little princess in the whole world.Ivan thought of going over to hug the little girl, but restrained himself.She is Haley's daughter!This woman has ulterior motives, her daughter might just be pretty on the surface!Ivan forced himself to look away, his hand in his pocket, radiating coldness.But Owen had already rushed over.He couldn't help it and pinched Angela's face.The little girl coldly opened his hand, her gaze full of vigilance."Angela, from now on, I'll be your big brother. I'll protect you, can I help you blow-dry your hair?"Angela, who usually never responded to outsiders, vigorously shook her head.Haley was extremely surprised.No matter what she said in the past, Angela never responded, not even nodding or shaking her head.But now, Angela actually reacted to a stranger's child.It seems that Angela has a special
Emily breathed a sigh of relief.She was going to become Mrs. Winston, and she didn't want to be involved in these messy matters at all.Since her father was willing to step forward, she would not meddle in this mess.The DeRoss family acted quickly, and the next morning at six o'clock, the press conference was ready.Mr. DeRoss appeared in front of the camera as a doting father. He had not slept all night, his face weary and haggard, and even before he spoke, he gained some sympathy from the audience."Haley is my biological daughter, my first child. My love for her cannot be explained in just a few words... Five years ago, she made a grave mistake, and I was furious. I kept her locked up for months to reflect. It was indeed my fault... But if you put yourselves in a father's shoes, you can understand...""Later, she burned down the DeRoss family, causing the DeRoss Group to lose billions. But in the face of her return from death, all these things don't matter... For the past four ye
For a long time, a deep and tender voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mother, why are you looking for me?""Keith, you're the only one who can help me now. I really can't help it."Emily covered her lips and burst into tears."The DeRoss Group was maliciously targeted," she choked. "Now the negative news about the DeRoss Group on the Internet is coming one after another, and the DeRoss Group's share price has fallen to its lowest value. If it goes on like this, the DeRoss Group may declare bankruptcy."As she spoke, there was a crackling sound on the keyboard on the other end of the phone.After a while, the deep voice sounded again: "Mother, the DeRoss Group has a strong family, so that he will not go bankrupt because of such a thing."At present, all the negative rumors on the Internet are based on a 54-second surveillance video. May I ask my mother, is that you in the video? ""It wasn't me. How could it be me? "Emily instinctively began to deny, "This is a fake video ma
The little one lay on Madam Martínez' lap, speaking softly, "Angela only likes to eat Mommy's food, she has lost weight since being at the Martínez family these past few days."Madam Martínez laughed. "So if I don't let your mommy cook, I'll become the bad person?""No, I just want to..."said Todd with a playful wink."Todd, you're such a good child!" Madam Martínez affectionately ruffled Todd's hair.At only four years old, Todd not only took care of his little sister, but also helped Haley with many tasks. He was such a thoughtful little gentleman, so likable.In the kitchen, Haley was preparing the meal. Both children were premature and had weaker bodies in their early years, so Haley started studying cooking to ensure they ate properly.Before turning eighteen, Haley was a lady who never lifted a finger to do household chores. However, after having two children, she began to try everything and gradually fell in love with the feeling of cooking.She enjoyed using various ingredient
