The next morning the sky was covered with soft rain so that the cold temperature could not be avoided, Elaine received a call from Charles. Charles complained after getting in the car.

"You are really brave, let me wait in this cold wind for ten minutes, do you know that I am a big artist?" Elaine glanced at Charles.

She thought that she had been in the same university with Charles for four years, never expecting that the person who was so close to her, could one day become a famous artist throughout the country.

Charles wore a punk style jacket and a pair of Martin boots on his feet, his face was white, his facial features were charming, handsome, especially when he laughed, people felt like a spring breeze and the small dimple on the right face was the biggest killer of women's hearts. Elaine was undeterred by his appearance, just smiling. Charles raised his eyebrows and said loudly.

"Is this your attitude for asking me to be a spokesperson? Ah?! If it wasn't because we have a good relationship, I wouldn't have come. I'm annoyed to see your husband's face. I've seen him every day in magazines with his mistress, now you're asking me to see him up close?" Elaine knew that what Charles said was Cindy, because Loushen Beach's spokesperson was not just Charles.

She was also used to Charles' way of speaking, so she was not annoyed with him. Elaine drove the car seriously and whispered, "Brother Shi, I was just ten minutes late. Stop complaining because I'm driving!" Seeing that Elaine said softly, Charles just stopped the topic.

The place where the two of them gathered was not far from Loushen Beach, when they arrived there, the rain still didn't stop, nor did it get any heavier, it was still a light drizzle. When Elaine reached out to open the door.

"You wait, wait for me to walk over there to help you, if you fall later, the one who will be embarrassed will be your brother." Charles then got out of the car and walked to Elaine's side.

He reached out and held Elaine before leading her out of the car. Elaine was wearing high heels. Charles pressed his arm on Elaine's shoulder as he closed the car door.

Charles smiled and said, "Hey, my best sister, your brother is taking care of you, aren't you touched?"

Elaine smiled. "Charles, please take care of your face, there is the media in front of you, you know?"

The two of them were so noisy that they forgot what event this was. Dave had just gotten out of the car and saw such a scene. In the past three years, this was the first time Dave had seen Elaine at such close range. She wore a white-pink dress, the design of the dress showed how thin her waist was. This color really suited her face, especially her skin, which looked whiter and clearer.

Her legs were wrapped in a white-pink skirt, looking slender and light. When she was side by side with Charles, she looked very small. Her bright face couldn't stop people from being fascinated by her. Standing beside the popular man in the country, she had no inclination to be compared, but instead they seemed to complement each other like a pair of golden boy and girl.

Dave's lips curled up, it seemed that these three years of being alone had not affected his quality of life, even a big artist like Charles could get in touch with him! The way he lied to the man had really improved! Elaine's strength was small, she couldn't get away from Charles' embrace, when she was about to get angry at Charles, a woman's coughing sound was heard. Elaine and Charles looked at the source of the sound at the same time.

When Elaine saw Dave, she was silent for a moment. He stood beside the car, his posture was tall and slender, and his face still couldn't be picked out any flaws. The black suit he was wearing traced the lines of his body and his legs were wrapped in trousers, looking slender and straight. Elaine's fingers were not consciously clasped together, although she often saw it in newspapers and on television, but the real person still looked more mature and calm.

Dave doesn't need to move, everyone around him will be his. However, he started to speak, his words wouldn't sound like his mature face.

"Director Qin is really smart. Making noise for Loushen Beach by hugging with famous artists at Loushen Beach. Should I go back and apply for the Best Employee Award for you?" He said the word smart in a heavy and biting tone, the word sounded ironic and cold.

Elaine smiled with an amazing expression, she had not had time to open her mouth. Cindy who got out of the same car as Dave immediately came and held Dave's arm.

"Dave, the opening ceremony is about to start, let's go in, people don't want to get wet." Cindy spoke in a voice that was deliberately suppressed to sound spoiled, her words that could not be said to be charming had a mocking effect on Elaine.

Obviously, Cindy still hated him for letting her lose 10kg. Dave shouldn't have let Cindy do that to him when Elaine, his wife, was here too. But he didn't intend to embarrass Elaine, so he reached out to hug Cindy's waist.

"As you wish, be careful, the road is slipping."

When they had left, Charles' face clouded over and he said, "Your husband is too much! You still don't want to leave him because you think he hasn't had enough mistresses?"

Elaine smiled slightly then pushed Charles and said, “You quickly go in now, Dave and Cindy will enter the field together. If you go in with me later, tomorrow’s entertainment headlines will be that Dave and I are suspected of getting a divorce. This is not helping but instead destroying the Loushen Beach event!” Charles ignored Elaine's words and still held her and pulled her to go to the red carpet.

"No one doesn't know our relationship as close friends. I think you should also find some new men. So that you don't lose to Dave." Elaine couldn't fight Charles, after all they had already arrived at the red carpet.

So Elaine decided to adopt a normal and calm attitude and walk with Charles. As he thought, after Dave and Cindy appeared, all the reporters approached them. On the other hand, Charles beside her, who had a reputation several times higher than Cindy, looked lonely.

Because she was behind Dave and Cindy, Elaine also saw Cindy holding Dave without feeling guilty. The position Cindy is standing in now, whether in public or private, should belong to Elaine. The media certainly won't let go of such news.

"Miss Tang, there was news yesterday that you stayed at Bay Toon with Mr. Bo, is this true?"

"Miss Tang, how do you feel about being Mr. Bo's new woman?" These questions, Elaine already knew which reporter was asking without looking at her face, after all, she invited Cindy here to add topics and voices to Loushen Beach, so Elaine still patiently waited behind them.

But in the end Elaine still became interested, not knowing who shouted, "Mrs. Bo has arrived!" The reporters immediately turned and headed towards Elaine.

    John was in a foul mood, while Dave, on the contrary, looked delighted. His narrow eyes curved into a perfect, mocking smile.He looked down at Reece, whose eyes were still slightly red and puffy from crying. "Didn't you just call me Papa?"Although Reece didn't quite understand the meaning behind Dave’s words, he nodded earnestly. He even reached out his small hand and tugged at the hem of Dave’s shirt. "Yes! You are my Papa!"A wicked yet amused smile played on Dave’s lips as he glanced provocatively at John.To be honest, this was the first time he actually realized how cute this little kid was. For the first time, he reached out and gently patted Reece’s head. His voice even softened a little, though his overall demeanor remained cold and distant."Do you want to meet your grandparents?"Reece’s eyes lit up instantly, shining with excitement. "Yes!"He was overjoyed by Dave’s sudden kindness. When Dave took his small hand and even rubbed his palm affectionately, Reece didn’t notic

    The space was narrow and confined. As the man released his pent-up rage, his breath came in heavy gusts. His grip tightened, cutting off Elaine’s airflow completely, turning her face a dark, bruised purple.Did he really want to kill her?No. Actually, three years ago, Dave had wanted to strangle himself to death out of frustration.Tears welled up in Elaine’s eyes.Meanwhile, Reece, still holding the melting ice cream John had bought him, walked back to the main area of the hospital but couldn’t find his parents anywhere."Where did Mommy and Daddy go?" He frowned, looking upset and anxious.John thought for a moment. Realizing Dave and Elaine must want some privacy to talk, he led Reece toward the stairwell area. They walked down a path lined with thick greenery.Suddenly, the ice cream in Reece’s hand melted completely and slipped, splattering onto the floor.John was startled and looked down, but in that split second, Reece pulled his hand free. The boy ran straight toward where D

    Reece’s eyes lit up instantly, but he looked at Elaine doubtfully. He knew very well how strict his mother was about his diet. Even in the middle of summer, Elaine rarely allowed him to eat cold food for fear it would upset his stomach. Seeing the boy’s pleading, hopeful eyes, Elaine relented and whispered, "You can only have one scoop!" "Yay!" Reece cheered happily. John then lifted the boy in his arms and walked out of the hospital building. Dave’s face grew darker and gloomier by the second as he watched the three of them interact right in front of his eyes. Elaine felt awkward and didn't know how to act under his intense glare. That child is getting bolder every day, Dave thought furiously. Calling him 'Papa John'... maybe in private, he just calls him 'Papa'! The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he was being made a fool of. A burning sensation rose in his chest. His expression turned icy cold as he stared into Elaine’s eyes, his gaze so sharp it felt like it c

    Dave reached out to gently pry Reece’s hand away. Despite his anger, he knew the child was just a kid, and his body was already covered in injuries. So, he didn’t use much force. After freeing his arm, Dave took a step back, his gaze shifting back to Elaine."How should I punish Director Lu?" he asked in a low voice.Elaine lifted her face slightly, avoiding direct eye contact with him. Dissatisfaction was clearly written all over her expression. She could feel John’s intention to step forward and say something, but he had already helped her so many times. How could she let him get punished because of her?"President Bo, I’ve already said I am willing to accept any punishment in his place!" she interrupted firmly."Fine! Very good!" Dave smiled sarcastically, his brows furrowing deeply.She, who bears the title of Mrs. Bo, dares to protect another man right in front of my face! Elaine, you are truly something else!His dissatisfaction grew, and his voice turned cold and heavy, like fr

    "What a shameless woman! She has the audacity to say our relationship is fine for others to see. Doesn’t she care about the situation? There are so many people walking by in this hospital!"On the face of Elaine, who was publicly known as Mrs. Bo, news had recently spread that Dave was abusing his wife. The entire world was furious with him, yet people felt immense sympathy for her. But Elaine couldn't be bothered to put on her usual act anymore.Bastard! This woman really knows how to push his buttons! Dave seethed inwardly. He felt stupid for worrying about her earlier. What was he thinking? She was Mrs. Bo, surrounded by guards and protection. What could possibly go wrong with her?The man turned around, ready to walk away. He had broad shoulders and a slender waist, his long legs clad in fitted trousers. He took two or three steps down the stairs, but suddenly halted. His hand gripped the railing tightly, and he slammed his fist hard against the banister.This isn't right! Why sho

    That woman—wasn’t she always so capable and tough? Now that news like this had appeared in the newspapers, she was hiding away. Dave was furious. Otherwise, why would he be wasting his time worrying about whether she was dead or alive? Why would he even care what happened to her?“Get out!” Dave looked up at Elsa, who was standing with her head bowed and not saying a word. He spoke that single word with such coldness that it made Elsa shiver. The room fell silent, and Dave tapped his fingers twice against the table.He had to admit that this time, Tina had prepared everything very carefully. The shares of the Bo Group had plummeted in a very short time, and the stock price had fallen to nearly 120 billion yuan—a sum that was more than enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for a lifetime. And that woman Elaine had simply vanished without a trace, not even putting up any kind of resistance.He took a deep breath. Suddenly, he remembered the incident on Saturday when Elaine h

    Dave walked out of the kitchen and grabbed his coat to head upstairs. He had taken only a few steps when Reece caught up to him, clutching the leg of Dave’s pants as he followed. “Dad, when will Mom come home? Do you know where she is? I haven’t seen her in two days.”Dave had no desire to answer.

    Through the car’s thick glass, Dave could still hear Reece’s voice.“Papa, will you come see me again?”Reece was so innocent, standing there with a pale face, the wound on her head looking worse than before. Perhaps because she’d kept touching it in the car earlier, it had grown more severe. The s

    Of course she hated him. Because apart from the time she gave birth to Reece, he had only asked her to come back once. After that, he rarely appeared in front of her, yet his attitude of constantly making things difficult for her had never faded from her life. Like right now!GR Company had always

    Elaine and John had no idea someone was standing outside the door, nor did they know the rage consuming that person. John smiled slightly, suddenly remembering the celebration party tonight. He spoke up and asked, “Oh right, to celebrate the successful opening of Luoshen Beach, the company is holdi
