She greeted him with a smile. “You are back! Sir down and eat!”

Fredrick nodded, took a hot towel from the servant, and wiped his hands before sitting down.

The first dish was the mushroom braised bamboo shoots made by Priscilla.

These years Priscilla had been taking care of herself, so she was good at cooking, but Frederick was picky, she was not confident to make him satisfied.

Years of taking care of herself had increased Priscilla’s cooking skills, yet she was not sure whether she could please a picky eater like Mr. Lincoln.

The upcoming negotiation would be more hopeless if she failed to woo him with her cooking.

Fredrick took a piece of bamboo shoots and put it in his mouth.

Priscilla looked at him and became nervous when she found him frowning.

“How is it? Is the taste... okay?” Priscila asked him.

He looked at her, “You made it?”

She did not know whether she should admit it. What if he did not like it?

As she wanted to deny it, Wilma said with a smile, “Sir, Madam made two dis

    Fredrick was not short of her measly shares.However, Priscilla really could not think of any better way. The company was almost in a standstill state. If there were no good resources, the future would not be prosperous.Most importantly, no matter what happened next, she did not want to stand on the opposite of Anderson International.Therefore, it was better to cooperate with it in advance.Fredrick looked at her and chuckled, “So you want my help?”Priscilla squeezed an ingratiating smile and nodded.“Hmm… if it is okay!”The man sat in his leather chair, folded his arms and casually asked, “How are you going to bribe me, darling?”Priscilla was stunned.Fredrick looked at her with a smile in his dark eyes.A deep blush crept over her face as she thought of something.She dropped her eyes slightly and mumbled, “How can I bribe…?”Smiling, Frederick leaned closer to her and lowered his voice. “Darling if you want to bribe me, there are many ways, I am sure you get what I mean.”He w

    His palm then rested on her waist with a thin layer of fabric between them and she could feel the scorching heat from his palm in an instant, her body stiffened.She held the hand he had reached over to check her waist, and she shook her head.Tears had welled up in her already misty eyes, but she insisted in pain, “I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt at all.”Fredrick knitted his arrow-shaped eyebrows.He did not say any more words. Instead, he just suddenly held her up in his arms and walked towards the bedroom.She was frightened, she struggled but to no avail, and then she grabbed him by his clothes and blurted, “What are you doing? Put me down!”The servants in the villa were all watching them downstairs!But Frederick ignored her, passed through the corridor in front of the servants, and walked back to their bedroom.The moment she was placed on the bed, she jumped to her feet again.Fredrick did not force her though. He cast a cold glance at her and turned over to take a tube of cream fr

    In his office, he was still engaged in a meeting.As the chairman of Lincoln Group of course he would be busy since he would have to take care of everything in the company.Moreover, the overseas branches had recently made some progress in the digital technology they were developing. Fredrick had paid most of his attention to their work and felt it was necessary to know everything about it before he could even feel at ease. As a result, he had a lot of meetings with the overseas branches recently. When Priscilla got there, she could see the office on the other side from the giant screen in the office.She was stunned for a moment when she realized what just happened, she had been seen. She just walked in quietly without making a sound.Fredrick saw her and almost immediately ended the meeting as he stood up.“Is it raining?” He asked her knitting his eyebrows, seeing her clothes were kind of wet.Priscilla smiled and wiped off the water on her hair casually.

    Priscilla was stunned, she looked up and saw the handsome face of Fredrick.With a slight start, she wanted to sit up and wanted to leave.However, the space in the car was quite limited and the man was taking enough when she straightened up from his lap. Her head hit the roof of the car.“Look out!” Fredrick shouted.Fortunately, Frederick had a quick reaction and put his hand between her head and the roof of the car.Priscilla bumped into his hand. Fredrick held her on his lap and said seriously.“Don’t move, we will be home soon.”She had no choice but to stay still and then she asked in confusion. “I fell asleep?” “Yes, you have caught a cold. When we reach home I will ask Wilma to prepare some ginger soup for you.”Priscilla frowned and touched her forehead.Indeed, it seemed to be a bit hot.After the car arrived home, they got off. Fredrick ordered Wilma to make ginger soup and ordered her to go to the room to take a hot bath.The heater was on in the room, and the hot bath w

    Priscilla frowned, she hated everything with a pungent taste and smell all her life.She sneaked a glimpse at the man on the sofa with the corner of her eyes. He did not raise his head but said slightly, “I don’t mind feeding you personally.”Priscilla was stunned.She picked it up, pinched her nose, and drank it all. After drinking the soup, she also took the medicine.Fredrick was finally satisfied.After sending the bowl downstairs, he came back, put her on the bed, and covered her up with the quilt. “Sleep well and tomorrow you will be fine.”Feeling out of it, without the energy to say anything more herself, Priscilla fell asleep very quickly.When she woke up the next day, she did feel better.Fredrick had already gotten up and was waiting for her downstairs in the dining room.Priscilla got downstairs and greeted Wilma who was already serving breakfast, “Thank you for the ginger soup last night, I feel much better now.”Wilma answered with a smile, “You are welcome ma’am.”But

    A few days ago, Frederick went back to Spark Land City. He had wanted to go back with Priscilla, but she rejected him.Priscilla hadn’t decided whether to go back with him to meet his family or not. She always felt that it would be somewhat awkward for her to go to Spark Land City, considering their relationship.Fredrick did not force her, because he knew what she was thinking and he also knew her that if he forced her, it might just backfire. So he could only give her time to think.Fortunately, she was always by his side, and she was not going anywhere, so there was nothing to worry about. It was all about time.He had got all the patience in the world.It was five in the afternoon when Priscilla received the call.Priscila cast a glance at the screen and a gleam of surprise flashed across her eyes. She picked it up in a hurry and heard a familiar voice. “Have you arrived?”Fredrick coughed before he added, “Darling, I just got off the plane, but I need to go to the company to deal

    The grand ballroom of the Aurelian Hotel shimmered under the glow of crystal chandeliers, casting a warm, golden hue over the sea of elegantly dressed guests. Tonight, it wasn’t a place of betrayal or whispered plots. Tonight, it was a temple of love, a sanctuary where Priscilla and Fredrick would finally seal their bond.After everything they had endured—the deceit, the threats, the near-death experience—tonight was a testament to their resilience.And tonight, in front of the world, they would celebrate it.Priscilla stood in the bridal suite, her reflection staring back at her from the full-length mirror.The gown was breathtaking.A masterpiece of intricate lace and delicate pearls, the off-shoulder design framed her collarbones perfectly, while the flowing skirt cascaded down like a waterfall of silk. A delicate veil, embroidered with shimmering crystals, draped from the crown of her head, a silent promise of the sacred vows she was about to take.She exhaled slowly, running her

    The woman’s gaze was sharp, unyielding, her dark eyes filled with something dangerous—something primal.Hatred.She stood at the edge of the grand ballroom, her fingers tightening around the stem of her champagne glass as she watched Priscilla from across the room.Priscilla, radiant in her emerald-green gown, moved through the crowd with effortless grace, smiling, laughing, unaware of the storm brewing just beyond her vision.She doesn’t deserve any of it.The thought slithered through the woman’s mind like venom.She was supposed to be nothing—an unwanted child of the Waals, an orphan taken in out of charity. Yet she had grown up in luxury, had been given love, attention, and a family name.While she…She had been the outsider.The adopted daughter.The replacement.Priscilla was the real daughter. The one they truly loved.And for that, she had to die.She had spent years waiting, biding her time.Hiding the bitterness beneath practiced smiles. Perfecting the art of deception.But

    Everyone was merrier as they celebrated.Lourdes felt a little bit awkward when she saw Ben.Ben, on the other hand, kept staring at Nancy.Although she had given birth, she was still as pretty as ever, but now it seems this pretty lady hates him.He wore a sullen look and kept staring.Andrei came over and tried to tease Him.“Hey Ben, you seem so lost staring at that pretty lady over there. Are you aware your recent ex is here? How do you do it? Nancy has given birth, definitely she is taken!”Ben stared at him coldly, “ I’m aware she has given birth, and as for Lourdes, we never really dated.”Ben thought of something, then smiled.He walked over to Lourdes.They chatted and kept smiling at each other and laughing so loudly.Lourdes enjoyed his company and wished that the relationship they had could become real.On the other hand, Nancy kept staring at them.She was having mixed feelings. Priscilla observed that her face didn’t look so good and she asked, “Best, are you okay?”Nanc

    In other words, even though he was staying here by force, he could forget relying on her for food and drink.If you didn’t work, you wouldn’t eat.She’d thought that he’d be dissatisfied with her words.Unexpectedly, he simply looked coldly at her and said, “I’ve already dismissed that maid of yours.”Nancy blinked.“What?” Ben frowned.“You didn’t hear me?”“No, why did you dismiss my maid?”Ben sneered.“If I didn’t, was I supposed to wait for her to help you escape?”Nancy’s temper flared.“I already told you I’m not going to run. And in my condition, how far can I get?”Ben ignored her completely. “I have no faith in you.”She clenched her teeth and suppressed her anger.“All right, then. What am I supposed to eat and drink with the maid gone? You don’t expect me to make my meals while pregnant, do you?”Ben shot her a look.He seemed to think about it.“If you could, why not?”“Bastard!”Looking at the woman all puffed up like a kitten, Ben’s mood inexplicably improved.“Relax.

    How could this man be so hateful?He knew she couldn’t do anything. He knew she had nothing left. Why was he still pressuring her to this point?Ben sneered.“If I decided to come after this child, what can you use against me? Your half-baked techniques? Or are you going to tell your father and have me beaten up like four years ago?”Nancy jolted.Endless cold raced down her spine.She looked at him icily. “You can certainly try.”Ben paused, then said, “But your father probably won’t treat me like this now, will he? After all, four years ago, I was just a poor kid with nothing, no match for his sweet daughter. But things are different now. I’m the heir to the Silvester family. Think about it. If he knew that his daughter was pregnant with my seed, wouldn’t he be so happy he carts you over in a horse-drawn carriage?”“Don’t go too far, Ben!”“I’m just telling the truth, aren’t I?”The two stood there as dead silence took over the still atmosphere.Nancy glared at him with eyes full of

    Nancy’s birthday was coming. Priscilla was thinking of her schedule and found that she couldn’t celebrate her birthday.Since Nancy went abroad, she had only been in occasional contact with Priscilla.She didn’t even contact her father and brother.Priscilla couldn’t raise her opinion. She could only care about Nancy as much as possible, lest she feel lonely abroad.On Nancy’s birthday, Priscilla called her at the stroke of midnight. The call was put through soon.Nancy’s delighted voice came, “Priscilla!”“Happy birthday!”“Thank you.”Priscilla couldn’t help being amused by Nancy, “To be honest, have you missed me?”“Of course, but you never come to see.”“Don’t worry. When my godson is born in half a month, Fredrick and I will come together.”“What if it’s a daughter?”“It’s better. Ann can keep her company and take care of her.”Nancy shook her head, “You’re lucky. To be honest, it is really hard to be pregnant with a child.”Priscilla’s smile froze on her lips.“Can you manage i

    She knew full well what kind of person Fredrick was.He looked cold, but in reality, if he acknowledged someone as one of his people, he usually took their business personally instead of being so cool about it.Frederick looked at her deeply.“Do you still remember what I told you when you asked me about Hadassah?”Priscilla started.She thought about it and realized.“Is it…”“Yes, I’m just that selfish. I don’t want someone to come back and disturb our little world, and I don’t want any trouble. So I don’t care whether we can find that child or not.”Priscilla had to laugh.“Why are you like this? They’re raising such a fuss while you’re here talking behind their back.”Fredrick leant over, smiling as he wrapped an arm around her waist.He snuggled in close to her face, the tips of their noses touching.“Yes, that’s how I am. I don’t care about anything other than you.”“Darling…”Priscilla hadn’t let it go yet, but her lips were already being sealed by his in another entangling kis

    The restaurant was high-end for Milton, but it was not good enough.And the standards that William seemed to have made it quite clear that he wasn’t the type of person who’d eat at a place like this.He’d come today either because he was in a hurry or because something special had attracted him.Priscilla was curious about it, but they didn’t know each other too well, so she didn’t ask about it.The two went into the restaurant, chatting as they ate. The atmosphere was quite friendly.Still, she didn’t know if she was imagining it or not, but she felt that the way William looked at her wasn’t quite right.The passion he was showing wasn’t like someone who’d only met her once or twice at all.Priscilla put herself on guard as she asked, “Are you in the city for business, Mr. Curtis?”William replied, “I’m looking for a person.”“Oh? May I ask who you’re looking for?”William paused, then chuckled, “An old friend’s child.”At that, he didn’t continue. Seeing that he wasn’t willing to s

    In the past, the Waals family was headed by Rose and Katherine, so to get Rose on your side, you pulled Regina to your side, only to get their family into the Smith family. Now that Rose’s in trouble, Regina and Katherine are facing charges, you’re afraid that it’ll affect you or the Smith family, so you’re trying to give her the boot and come back to me. Do you think everyone’s as stupid as her, Ryan? That they’ll just stand by and become your plaything after you feed them your lies?”Ryan’s expression grew ugly.“What are you saying? Am I such a person in your mind? I’ll admit that things aren’t good between me and Regina right now, but things hadn’t been going well even before this mess. I’m not trying to give a coup de grace here!”Priscilla had to laugh at his audacity. “You’re not trying to give a coup de grâce? You’re serious, Ryan Smith! Do you even believe your own words?
