A month had passed since Penny saw her ex-fiancé. Ives was waiting for Penny to beg him. Every day, he checked his phone to see if there were any text messages from her.Sometimes he would ask his secretary if Penny had called him while he was in the meeting. His secretary would look at him puzzled and replied, “No, Sir.”To forget Ives, Penny decided to have a Fashion Show on the 3rd of May. She personally sent invitation cards to prominent people in the fashion industry and invited businessmen. However, she didn’t invite her ex-fiancé.Ives nearly went crazy when his friend, Jace Cobbs, showed him the invitation card. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the date.How could Penny replace their wedding date with a Fashion Show? A suffocating feeling overwhelmed him. He couldn't breathe.

Judy flashed her father a beautiful smile and led him to the dance floor. She looked at her father and said, “I am so happy, Daddy. My birthday wish is for my son to get evidence for my daughter-in-law.Storm is head over heels in love with Michaela. His eyes lit up when he talked about her and I cannot wait to meet her.”Her father laughed and replied, “It is my wish too, my beautiful daughter. It is a pity that Sputla stopped being a hacker. However, I have faith that one day the truth will be revealed. I am praying for my granddaughter-in-law’s safety.Even though I asked David to move her to a single cell, anything could happen in the dining hall or the bathroom. I heard that inmates keep weapons in prison.”Judy nodded her head and said, “We have been through a lot as a family. Therefore, we don’t have a choice, but to believe that the Lord will remember us one day, Daddy.Storm told me that his father-in-law has helped him a lot in the company.” Mr Miller was not used to sitting
At the Clinton Group, President Ives Clinton’s eyes were red. He looked like he had been deprived of sleep. On Sunday, he spent the whole day outside the Saxon estate waiting for Penny. Unbeknownst to him, Penny was still at His Shadow Resort.He tried to call his fiancée, but the call didn't go through. It was clear that Penny had blocked his number. A feeling of suffocation overwhelmed him.Everything he had been given to him by Storm Saxon. He didn't want his sister to date below her station. Also, he didn't want Penny to be a laughingstock to the Earl family.What if Storm withdrew the funding and stopped the ongoing projects? He couldn’t go back to poverty. He wouldn’t allow his mother to wash people’s clothes again. It dawned on him that without Penny he was nothing. At 7:30 am, his Executive Secretary, Edgar Rogers, knocked on the door. He raised his head and said, “Come in.”Executive Secretary Rogers walked towards President Clinton’s desk and said, “Sir, you have back-to-b

The Sun Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, and he needed a cash injection urgently.After they signed the contract, President Cage walked out of His Grace Hotel. In the parking lot, he met his sister’s friend, Sloane Ball, and her friends.He looked at her coldly and said, “Miss Ball, my sister has been hospitalized for more than three months, but you haven’t visited her even once. Were you lying when you said Paula was like a sister to you?”Sloane felt humiliated and embarrassed. She turned to her friends and asked them to leave. She looked at Samson with eyes brimming with tears and replied, “I was not lying, Brother Samson. It’s just that I am busy right now.”Samson sneered, disgust evident in his tone, and asked, “What are you busy with besides frequenting the taverns? I heard that you went to the prison to visit Miss Miller. I am confused, since when did you become Miss
In the blink of an eye, Michaela had been in prison for six months. At the Ferguson family mansion, Mrs Ferguson senior was in the garden with her daughter-in-law, Gail.She looked at Gail with sorrow in her eyes and asked, “Why is Thorne so stubborn? He was aware that his grandfather was not in good health, but he didn’t care. Is he waiting for us to grovel and ask for forgiveness?”Gail sighed and replied, “I don’t know what is wrong with Thorne, Mom. He chose to denounce his family because of his mistress.We didn’t raise him like that. My heart aches when I think about my precious daughter-in-law who is locked in prison for something she didn’t do.Yesterday I visited the Miller mansion. I was surprised when I saw new faces there. They told me that they bought the mansion at auction.Then I decided to go to the Fox family mansion to find out what happened to the Miller family.I was dumbfounded when Stella told me that Thorne gave the Miller Group to the Cage family as compensation
Penny was eating lunch with her brother, Storm, at His Love Hotel. She flashed him a dazzling smile and said, “When I woke up this morning, my phone was flooded with Bella’s honeymoon photos.”Storm looked at her puzzled and asked, “Why now? Didn’t they come back from the honeymoon a month ago?” Penny nodded her head and replied, “She was being Bella. She was boasting that she got married before me.”Storm smiled faintly and said, “I hope she will be able to capture Jacques’ heart since it is a marriage of convenience. I heard that he was keeping the mistress outside.”Penny was dumbfounded and asked, “What?” How could my parents allow their precious daughter to marry someone who is keeping a mistress outside?”Storm looked at his sister smiling faintly and replied, “Jacques has been with this girl for years and it was not a secret. It would be a lie to say that your father was not aware of this matter but he turned a blind eye. Nowadays, people put interest before their family.”Penny

Then Ives kissed her on top of her head and released her.He opened the back seat door, took the flowers and chocolate box, and handed them to her. Penny flashed him a dazzling smile and thanked him.Then Ives opened the passenger door for her and put his hand below the roof of the car to protect her. Penny smiled sweetly and thanked him.She couldn’t fasten her seatbelt because she was carrying huge flowers, and she didn’t want to put them down. Ives smiled and helped her with the seatbelt.Penny smiled brightly and asked, “How was your day, Ives?” He smiled broadly and replied, “It was hectic, my love. How was yours?”Penny smiled and said, “Mine was not bad.

Mrs Clinton couldn’t contain her excitement and she cried tears of joy. She looked at her son and asked, “Why don’t you bring her here this weekend, Son? I cannot wait to meet my daughter-in-law. Please show me her photo.”Ives took his wallet and looked for Penny’s ID photo, but he couldn’t find it. He remembered that he took it out of his wallet in a fit of anger when Penny broke up with him.He smiled broadly and replied, “I don’t have her photo with me right now, but I can assure you that she is the most stunning girl I have ever seen.I wanted to bring her here this weekend, but she has another commitment she couldn’t cancel, Mom.”His mother nodded her head and said smiling, “Son, we have to prepare a betrothal gift. Tell me about her family background.”Ives looked at his mother and replied, “She comes from a wealthy background, Mom. However, she doesn’t look down on people from a humble background.”His mother smiled and said, “It seems like she is a good child. She reminds me

A few days after Mr Ferguson Senior was discharged from the hospital, the Saxon bodyguard called Mr Saxon Senior to give him feedback and said, “Hello, Sir. My source told me that Mr Ferguson Senior is recovering well at home.I also heard that his grandson, Thorne Ferguson, had been searching for young Mrs Saxon high and low since the Ferguson family received the medicine.He was convinced that young Mrs Saxon was in South Africa.” Mr Saxon Senior thanked his bodyguard then they hung up.

Please prepare yourself.”Paula was shocked and asked, “How could you set my court date since you know I don’t have a lawyer?”Amelia’s gaze was cold, and she asked, “Whose fault was that, Miss Cage? Didn’t you fire your lawyer because of incompetence?”Paula looked at her and replied, “I made a mistake, Prosecutor Zibi. Where is Miss Bernie?”Amelia shook her head and said, “Senior Prosecutor May is on vacation leave. Do you need me to help you with anything, Miss Cage?”Paula was taken aback when she heard Doreen’s last name
Thorne understood where his grandmother was coming from. She wanted to hold her great-grandchildren before she went to heaven.Thorne looked at his grandmother and asked, “Grandma, I have been asking for forgiveness for months, but you are refusing to forgive me. Am I not your grandson?”His Grandma stopped and looked back at her grandson. She smiled and replied, “My grandson, I have forgiven you a long time ago. However, I don’t want Michaela to be your wife again. She would be better off without you, my grandson.You are so cruel. I don’t know who you took after because your grandfather and your father are kind-hearted. Also, you have an ungrateful heart. If you can search deep in your heart, you will find that you don’t love Michaela.It’s just that she was your backup plan. The only person you truly loved was Paula Cage. After you discovered that she wasn’t the woman you thought she was, you convinced yourself that you loved Michaela, but it is not true.”There was a hint of irrita
On the way home, Mr Ferguson Senior looked at his daughter-in-law and said, “Please don’t tell my grandson about Michaela’s gift. I don’t want him to misunderstand.”Before Gail could respond, her mother-in-law chuckled and replied, “Hubby, the package was received and opened by Thorne. He also saw Michaela’s note.He immediately called his private investigator, Archie, and asked him to track down Michaela. Then he took his car keys and left.
