With a little hint of malice in her eyes, Hadley cast a quick glance at the arrivals. "Looks like the money's here," she muttered as she leaned in closer to Ercell. “Do you know what to do?

When Ercell heard Hadley’s cunning tone, her eyes brightened with comprehension.

As she turned to face Laura, her own smile darkened. "Got it."

Hadley gestured to the model's attire. "I want all of these."

"Of course, boss," Ercell said, instantly changing into the courteous store manager.

    Hadley’s eyes opened. She grasped the picture, her hands still shaking. "Andrew, I'll ask you one last time," she said icily. "Who gave you the picture?"Her eyes appeared to be bleeding because the corners of them were crimson.Andrew had dark eyes. His grin was callous and icy. "I don't care who gave it to me. You've always loved this man, that's all I know.“Hadley’s already broken heart was irreparably crushed by his cruel and contemptuous remarks once more.Her heartbroken and painful gaze was fixed on Andrew. The jewelry had already slipped her mind.Andrew was overcome with jealousy. "No! Andrew, don't..." Hadley said as Andrew swiftly moved forward, grabbed the pictures, tore them up, and hurled them at her feet. She bent over and made a desperate attempt to retrieve the fragments of the pictures.As he observed her distraught behavior, his eyes became scarlet. She cared so much even after the pictures were destroyed. How much did she adore that man?He watched her desperat

    "Why are you standing there, Andrew? She's a woman with nothing, so what's to be reluctant about? Someone who can simply cook and serve coffee is worthless. She was a burden and not deserving of you. Now that you're divorced, be kind to Laura. Choose a day that works for you and get married," Mallory advised.Andrew’s eyes flared with a chilly gleam. "Hadley, a useless person who only serves coffee and cooks, took care of your family, keeping them comfortable," he said mockingly as he turned to face her. “You won't find another daughter-in-law like that, even if you looked with a lantern. You seem to dislike her. Alright. I'll marry Laura just so she can serve you if you're willing to take care of her," he declared.With a chilly tone, he concluded his statement. Mallory stood there in shock as he left her. Then she turned to leave.Mallory scowled. Her eyes darkened as she observed Andrew’s back. He has no right to utter such things.But at this point, she couldn't worry about it. S

    Hadley came to a halt. She quietly gazed at Mallory. "I divorced your son just as you requested, Mrs. Shaw. I am no longer your daughter-in-law. I am under no duty to assist you in any way. Now you have a new daughter-in-law. Allow her to assist you with the massage.”"You..." Mallory’s gaze wavered. For years, her lumbar disc herniation had caused her pain. However, she hadn't experienced discomfort in a long time since Hadley’s acupuncture assistance. "I admit, I looked down on you. The Shaw family is influential. All I wanted was to locate a member of a distinguished family who could assist my son. I appreciate that you were wise enough to file for divorce.This was the opinion of the majority of wealthy mothers.She had the same thoughts.Her low-income family background was the only factor at fault."Then I wish you get what you wanted!" Hadley remarked coolly.Mallory scowled. The person who had been divorced was her. Why did she behave in such a typical manner then?Hadley h

    Laura had heard rumors about this enigmatic person before.Harry grinned as he explained. "She's a real mystery. They claim that she has only been seen by those in her inner circle. There are rumors that she holds several doctorates and is a prodigy. She and Mr. Pedro Fern are responsible for the success of Golden Estate,”“They manage several regions. While she is in charge of domestic matters, Pedro Fern oversees international affairs. The origins of the Golden Estate are also unknown. The woman I admire the most is her. In fact, I'm looking for her personally. My goal is to get her affection.”In jest, Laura said, "Harry, you sure move on fast."Harry laughed. After all, every gentleman sought a rare beauty. Laura’s expression was unreadable as she furrowed her brow. She looked across at Andrew . "By the way, Drew, how did your signing go tonight?"Andrew gave a chilly nod. "Yeah."Harry grinned as he explained. "She's a real mystery. They claim that she has only been seen by thos

    Hadley and Bruce were fighting at the time. "Bruce, you know damn well why she had an asthma attack," she said. “You're accusing me of murder after you and your mother abandoned Jo here to perish. It's completely absurd."Amerie and Bruce were quite aback to learn this. Amerie lost her temper. "You're a bitch! What rubbish are you saying? You still refuse to acknowledge that you killed Jo.”"How could you be so sure Jo is dead?" Hadley sneered.Amerie felt shivers down her spine at Hadley’s death-like glare. She exuded an ice air and was incredibly lovely.It's true that attractive ladies were the most intimidating.Laura squinted. It was a fantastic chance. She was unable to absolve Hadley. It would only take a few threads pulled to guarantee her death in prison if she was convicted of murder. The secret would then be permanently hidden.Looking down her nose at Hadley, Laura took a step forward. "All right, Hadley. Was disclosing corporate secrets insufficient for you? You've turned
