“Groom-to-be Evan Picther, and bride-to-be Ruby Hart, sincerely invite Alice Brown to join them in celebration of their engagement.”The italic letters on the cover were particularly eye-catching and conspicuous. There were cartoon images of the two of them on the inner page. Alice held the card in her hands with no enthusiasm in her eyes.On second thought, it was not surprising for her to see them getting engaged. The last time when Alice met Ruby in the elevator, she saw the ring that was invaluable to her on Ruby’s finger.What was surprising was that they dared to send this invitation card to her. Alice leaned back on the sofa and smiled sarcastically. She could still feel the pain in her heart when she thought about that thing five years ago.If it weren’t for Evan Picther and Ruby Hart, she wouldn’t end up living like this.It was said that one’s life was never complete without falling in love with a douchebag. What’s more, if a friendship couldn’t be considered complete withou
“Who is Elaina Brown?” Jessica blurted out the question.Zayden looked at her and answered indifferently, “The daughter of the one of the employees.”“Why do you need to reed the medical history of an employee daughter? Which employee?”On hearing Jessica’s words. Zayden closed the documents he was reading and put them on that medical record. He asked in a tone that brooked no argument, “Do I need to report you each and everything that I do?”Jessica looked stunned, “No, I didn’t mean that. I was just asking casually.”“You have too many questions.” Zayden said impatiently. “I still have a lot of things to do. We will have dinner with Grandpa. You can directly go there, I will arrive on a time.”He was suggesting that she should leave now.Jessica immediately regretted that she had asked too many questions without thinking. She wanted to say something to make Zayden feel better, but he still looked very impatient, so she found an excuse and left the office. However, before she left, s
The Driver’s words reminded Jessica, she thought, “Zayden always goes in his own way no matter what other people say. He seemingly obeys his grandfather, but privately he still does what he pleases, which means that all I need to do is to make sure that Zayden doesn’t change his mind.”That night, Zayden and Max stayed in the old Mansion.Zayden thought that his grandfather had something to tell him, but he suddenly answered the phone call and waved the servants to let them clean up a room for Zayden and Max.Then he locked himself in the study.“Has Grandpa been busy recently?” Zayden looked at the butler suspiciously.The butler answered calmly and unhurriedly, “Mr. Collins has been communicating a lot with his friend. I don’t know about the details. Sir, you can go back to your room first. Mr. Collins will come outside after he finishes the call.”However, Grandfather didn’t hang up the phone call until midnight. Zayden read a whole book for Max while waiting for his grandfather. T
Alice didn’t feel anything wrong about this question. She nodded and said happily, “I can’t believe you still remember me.” Jessica ignored her and kept asking, “What’s your daughter’s name?”Jessica’s eyes fell on Eliana. She looked at her cute pink face and was suddenly seized by fear. Why did this little girl look a little like a Zayden? “That’s impossible.” The voice in her mind reminded her.“I am Eliana Brown. You can call me Ellie.” Suddenly Eliana broke into their conversation. She looked up and her eyes roamed over Jessica.“Eliana Brown?” Jessica clenched her hands when she heard her name. She thought of the medical record that she saw in Zayden’s office that day and felt more suspicious. Then she directly asked, “Why do you take your mother’s last name?”Eliana turned her head and looked at Alice, looking confused.It was normal that Alice didn’t feel anything wrong when Jessica asked her daughter’s name. But now, when Jessica was talking about her privacy, only fools would
Amelia, the beautiful assistant, quickly answered seriously, “The swing isn’t high and there are soft cushion underneath. There has never been a swing-related safety incident in the kindergarten before.”Zayden pointed to the swing frame and looked displeased, “The face that no accidents happened before doesn’t mean there is no safety concern.”Then Zayden turned around and looked at the rainbow-color running racetrack solemnly, “And the running racetrack. The corner of the track hasn’t been completely covered by the rubber, and you haven’t removed all the weeds. Children tend to forget everything when they play. What if a poisonous snake appears in the weeds?”Amelia went pale, not knowing how to answer the criticism, and thought, "She never met such a difficult parent in Fairy Tale before. I mean look at those weeds. They are not as high to reach my ankle!”“I think it’s alright.” A clear female voice suddenly broke the silence. Alice walked down the hallway to them. “Eliana once fe
At first, Alice thought that Zayden refuse to play because he didn’t want to trouble her, so she kept telling him that it was alright. After pushing the swing for a few rounds, she finally sensed the anger and reluctance in his tone.He said, “Alice Brown. Stop it now.”She quickly let go of the rope, “What… What’s wrong?”Zayden stepped on the ground and controlled the swinging ropes, his expensive leather shoes leaving two “skid marks” on the ground.He turned around and glared at Alice, and said word by word, “Did I say I want to swing?”“Didn’t you just think that it was not safe? You should try it for Max.” Alice still hasn’t realized what a wrong she had done and said naturally, “Besides, staying with a child means playing the things they like. Haven’t you played with Max before?”“And that’s the reason why you think I should swing right here and right now?” He stared at Alice with annoyance in his eyes.Alice looked at Zayden up and down in confusion. Then, the smile on her fac
Zayden looked out of the window, but he was not in the mood to appreciate the street scenes.Jessica’s words reminded him. Thinking back on his behavior during this time, he suddenly realized that he did treat Alice Brown differently.Was it because she saved Max?No, that was not at all. His assistant, Henry, and butler already had shown thanks to her. It was not part of his plan to help her daughter to go to Fairy Tale and let Max study with her. These thoughts lingered in his mind and made him confused.He was caught up in the heavy traffic, and it had been noon when they arrived at the hotel.The hotel manager and the foremen stood in two neat rows. Zayden walked between the staff and took a glance at them. He saw that Alice stood at the end of the row. When he passed by her, he couldn’t help but check her out twice, and thought, “How odd. The ordinary uniform looked inexplicably beautiful on her.”Alice became worried since Zayden didn’t go away and kept staring at her, so she as
Henry immediately stooped talking under Zayden’s cold gaze, fastening his seat belt silently, and starting the car.It was not difficult for Henry to figure it out. Alice Brown has a bet with the boss. If she can’t achieve the KPL in three months, she has to leave the hotel. All the interviewers present that day witnessed the bet. Although Alice has gained great performance since she started working here, it is still far away from the target she promised. After two months of passing and staying in the hotel for a while, she doesn’t have much time left. It seems that she won’t be able to reach her goal. The boss lets her take charge of the anniversary.But the thing that Henry couldn’t figure out was why his boss paid so much attention to Alice Brown. Is it only because she saved his son?Boss, didn’t you say you were satisfied with the driver's skills? Why did you suddenly want to fire him?”“He talks too much.”Henry did not dare ask more and started feeling worried because he talked
