Even though these days had been anything but peaceful, moving from one place to another, he hadn't given up on his precious darlings. He took them with him wherever he stayed, especially the 'Plain Crown Lotus Tripod' orchid Charlie had gifted him.
"I'll go see Auntie first, then your orchids," Charlie said with a light smile.

Robert smiled, inviting Charlie to see his orchids.Even though these days had been anything but peaceful, moving from one place to another, he hadn't given up on his precious darlings. He took them with him wherever he stayed, especially the 'Plain Crown Lotus Tripod' orchid Charlie had gifted him."I'll go see Auntie first, then your orchids," Charlie said with a light smile."Oh, right, your Auntie is still waiting upstairs. I got so happy seeing you, I completely forgot," Robert muttered, a little embarrassed.Candice walked up to him, linking her arm through his. She whispered, "If Mom knew she was less important than your orchids, she'd pull out all your flowers tomorrow."Robert flinched. "Don't frame your old man! Your mom would actually do it."Candice chuckled. "I'm just messing with you. Those are your treasures; if they're gone, how will you show off to all those uncles?""Come on, let's go upstairs." She released her fath
“I’ve made up my mind.”Beatrice was incredibly serious.Her expression was as if she were about to carry a pack of explosives to blow up the Lawrence family…Denny felt a headache coming on.Candice: Oh no, I’ve caused trouble.She swore she’d only accidentally spoken her mind just now; she absolutely hadn’t encouraged or incited anything.Nicole got up and ran over.Originally, everyone thought she was going to persuade Beatrice, but the little girl opened her mouth, “Mommy, if you go, I’ll go too! We’ll go together to help sister-in-law, and our group will be called…”“Called a pain in the butt.”Before she could finish, Charlie’s hand landed on her forehead.Nicole clutched her forehead, instantly deflating.Ollie couldn’t help but say, “The two of you don’t even have a finger’s worth of h
Charlie's eyes flickered.He leaned back, a hint of mockery playing on his lips. "Modern medicine is so advanced, perhaps a miracle could still happen. Tell Uncle Abato not to despair too soon; maybe Gabrielle's fingers might just grow back.""..."Denny picked up the bookend from his desk and hurled it at his son. "How can you still be so flippant, you brat? When you call Uncle Abato later, don't you dare infuriate him like that!"Charlie offered no comment.Downstairs.In a private parlor, accessible only to family, Beatrice held Candice's hand affectionately as they chatted.Nicole and Ollie sat opposite them.Marlene was too swamped to make it back for dinner, so she wasn't present today."I heard from Jim that your mother injured her foot at your grandmother's place. You went back for the weekend, how is she doing?" Beatrice asked."Nothing major, just that she won't be able to put weight on it or move around
Morton: "..."Damn, anyone who didn't know would think he was on his deathbed!The moment Charlie left, sure enough, many people swarmed him, asking about his condition."Vice President, you can't delay with this illness.""Morton, work is never-ending, but if you're gone, everything else is gone too.""You must actively cooperate with treatment. Take leave with the Chairman, get the surgery if needed, take the medicine if needed.""..."Voices of concern were ceaseless.Morton's head was practically smoking from all the "warmth."In the elevator."Do you have a grudge against Morton?"In the quiet atmosphere, a voice abruptly appeared beside Candice.Yes, it was Ollie who spoke.Candice turned her head, blinking her large eyes, her expression innocent. "No, we have a great relationship. Ollie, why would you think that?"Ollie: ...You're kidding, right?"What did you say in Morto
Charlie's clear, magnetic voice drifted over.The trio: "..."Candice and Jerry turned around.Ollie lifted his gaze."I was talking about you two," Charlie's peach blossom eyes swept coldly over Ollie and Jerry. "Come in with me."Having said that, his gaze shifted to Candice. The chilly glint from a moment ago instantly softened, his voice mellowing by ten degrees. "Don't mind them, go sit and rest in the office."The blatant favoritism was practically blinding.Ollie sneered, a disdainful tug at his lips.Candice felt a little awkward. "I haven't officially resigned yet. I'll go too."Charlie indulged her.Inside the CEO's office, he sat down in his chair and said to Ollie in a business-like manner, "You'll be handing over work with Miss Hale later. If you don't understand anything, ask Jerry. If he can't handle it, then come to me."Ollie disliked his condescending tone.He wanted to lash out, bu
Otherwise, she was genuinely worried he might just keel over tomorrow.After dinner.Candice found an opportunity to call Jerry to the balcony. After some casual chit-chat and beating around the bush, her expression suddenly turned serious.“Jerry, I have some terrible news to tell you.”“T-T-T... terrible news?” Jerry stuttered, scared. He clutched the Bun Bun in his arms tightly.He’d been thoroughly spooked these past two days. Now that he was finally back, his heart couldn’t take any more stress. So much so that before she even delivered the bad news, his face had already gone pale.Candice saw him like this and felt a pang of pity. And she hadn’t even said anything yet... If she were to bluntly tell him that Ollie was her replacement, and that from now on he’d be serving two demanding masters, would he just cry himself to death on the spot?“Don’t panic, it’s not a
Denny gave a commanding smile. “I know very well whether it’s a rumor or not.”Candice: “…”You know? Know what? You just want to straighten your son!If word got out in the company that the chairman himself confirmed the rumor, she’
These past few days, Caroline had been unusually nice to her—not only speaking well of her in front of Kyle, but also giving her gifts, helping her choose a wedding dress, and picking out invitation designs together.She had thought Caroline had finally learned her lesson.Now
Candice tried to maintain her composure, but the sudden rush of memories attacking her brain caused her to momentarily lose focus... Her eyes glazed over, her cheeks flushed, and she felt like she was dying and being reborn at the same time.Damn brain, where did you go!?"Well, well... it's better
“Ah—!”The sudden fright took them all by surprise. Candice and the others screamed as they stumbled backward.Who wouldn’t be scared?That huge dog looked like it was ready to maul someone—it could’ve easily torn them apart!Even a strong guy like Oliver, trained in athletics, was so startled he n
