Author: Glazed Snow
Bella nodded softly. "Then you have to get better really soon, Daddy."

Jessica's expression darkened as she looked at Bella. Now that Bella had acknowledged her bond with Stanley, the thought of this little obstacle standing between her and Stanley gave her a headache.

But Jessica figured once she had Stanley firmly in her grasp, she had her own ways to handle this nuisance.

Angela glanced at Jessica. "It's good you're here today. There's something I need to tell you."

Jessica slipped her arm through Angela's and said sweetly, "I'm sorry about last time. My mother scolded me when she came back, and I've learned my lesson. I promise I won't do anything that extreme again. Honestly, I did what I did because I love Stanley so much. My mom is close friends with you, and she said marrying me to Stanley would put her mind at ease. Our families would become even closer."

Jessica was smart—she knew exactly how to play the emotional card, using Angela's friendship with Brittany to try to s

  • The Heartbreak Prescription   Chapter 808

    Cyril began to explain."A few days ago, Lincoln Enterprise started a joint project with a multinational company. The work was underway when one of the workers suddenly fell at the site and was hospitalized. He seriously injured one leg. I sent people from the company to offer condolences and compensation, but the worker's family outright refused to meet with us. "The worker then made a big scene about it, which has seriously damaged our company's reputation. In the past few days, our stock price has plummeted, and the multinational company is already thinking about cutting ties. If they do, all our funds will be frozen, and once the cash flow dries up, Lincoln Enterprise will be bankrupt."Halsey's heart pounded. She had no idea Lincoln Enterprise was already on the brink of disaster."I've visited the worker's family several times, trying to talk it out. We were ready to meet their demands no matter what. But in the past few days, I couldn't even get a meeting. Today, the worker

    Since Gilbert insisted on having a family meeting to discuss their marriage, Halsey decided to make it clear to everyone she was never going to marry him.Yvette felt uneasy about the situation. She glanced at her son. "What…"Gilbert looked at Halsey. He wasn't surprised by what she said, since he had expected her rejection all along. "I made a mistake. I was reckless and immature, but I've come to understand my heart. I've loved you for a long time. Please, give me another chance. This time, I promise I'll cherish and love you properly."Halsey laughed coldly inside. His apology was pointless. So what if he realized his true feelings now? She didn't owe him anything, and whatever they had in the past was long gone.Halsey replied, "Gilbert, we—"Before she could finish, Patricia's phone rang. She pulled it out and saw the caller ID. "It's your dad."Lately, Cyril had been incredibly busy. He was a respected man in academia, but the vast Lincoln Enterprise needed his leadershi

    Halsey felt a strong aversion toward Gilbert. After finally shaking him off tonight, he was back again with a demand for a family meeting."Mom, I don't want to see him! Sure, we were engaged, but he betrayed me by cheating with Sienna. He was the one who called off the engagement, so I think that makes the agreement null and void. I'm never marrying him!" "Halsey, your father and I are definitely on your side. We believe you should marry a man with good character. Gilbert never truly cared for you—he only used you to connect with our family. We haven't forgotten that. "But the Greenwoods have grown powerful in recent years. Our families have long-standing ties and intertwined interests that aren't easy to break. Just now, they called, pleading for us to give them a chance and meet with them. I couldn't say no. Why don't we meet with them tomorrow? We can end this engagement properly, face to face," Patricia suggested.As the Lincoln family's heiress, Halsey knew that with privil

    Halsey froze for a moment when she heard Madeline calling the man "Dwight". She knew Madeline was mistaking this man for her brother. A few days ago, when Halsey first saw him, she had almost made the same mistake.Quickly, Halsey said, "He's not Dwight.""Yes, he is! I couldn't be wrong! He's definitely Dwight! Dwight…!"Madeline hadn't seen Dwight in three years. He was the only blood relative she had left in this world, and she was sure she wouldn't mistake him for anyone else—she was convinced this man was her brother."Calm down, Maddy. He really isn't your brother," Halsey said gently.The man in the driver's seat looked at Madeline with a cold, calm voice. "You've got the wrong person. I'm not your brother.""I don't believe you! Take off your mask! I want to see your face!" Madeline cried; she insisted on seeing his face."Maddy!" Halsey tried to stop her.But the man said, "Fine."He lifted the mask from his face, revealing a disfigured visage.Madeline's eyes wide

    Gilbert's subordinate stammered nervously, "W-We've done everything we can, but the cab company has no record of this driver. His information is completely blank."Gilbert couldn't believe he wasn't even able to track down a single driver on his territory. He snarled, "You're useless!"Then, he hung up.His mind flashed back to Halsey's beautiful face and the graceful way she moved on the dance floor earlier. The memory stirred a restless heat inside him. The more out of reach she was, the more he felt himself burning. Halsey had already set his blood racing.Gilbert pulled out his phone and dialed another number. Soon the call connected, and his mother Yvette came through. "Hello, Gilbert.""Mom, arrange a dinner with the Lincoln family tomorrow. Since the Lincoln and Greenwood families have an engagement agreement, we should sit down and discuss my marriage to Halsey.""But it seems the Lincoln family doesn't intend to let Halsey marry you.""Well, I'm going to marry her!

    What…?When Halsey realized where her face was buried, her cheeks instantly flushed bright red. She sat back down with a whoosh before turning to the man and shooting him a glare. "Pervert!"The man in the driver's seat wore a mask, his face hidden, but his exposed eyes—cold and clear—flickered with a hint of amusement. "Why are you calling me that? I didn't do anything."He looked completely innocent.Halsey's face burned even redder, like a perfectly cooked shrimp. "You say you didn't do anything, but you're—""I'm what?" The man glanced at her lazily.Halsey was at a loss for words. She couldn't bring herself to say it.Just then, Gilbert floored the accelerator and came chasing after them. He truly hadn't expected that his driving skills wouldn't be enough to catch a cab driver. He was driving a Ferrari, for pity's sake!Gilbert rolled down his window and shouted, "Stop the car! Stop right now! Do you know who I am? How dare you mess with me! I'll make you disappear from
