Nathan's face turned somber. "That's right, you deceived me. You said you weren't from the Bennet family and had grown up out of the country." Rachel lowered her gaze. "I didn't want to have any connection with the Bennet family anymore. Besides, they told me that they no longer considered me as their daughter, so..." Nathan's gaze intensified. "So..." He reached out and lightly flicked Rachel's forehead, then nodded with a smile. "I need to punish you." Rachel stared cluelessly at Nathan. "What?" Nathan shook his head. "Alright, I've punished you so you can go back now. Office hours are over, you know." Rachel was a little shocked. "What?! President Chapman, are you not going to fire me?" Nathan frowned in confusion. "What, do you want me to fire you?" Rachel shook her head frantically. "No, no, didn't you say you wanted to punish me?" Nathan poked Rachel's forehead. "Didn't I already punish you?" Rachel was so immensely moved that she gave Nathan another bow. "Pre

A group of technicians was crouched around the lift, checking the damages on it and frowning at the work required. 'Why do we have to fix the programming of the lift?!' 'It's so much more work to do!' Hearing the call for help from inside the lift, a technician typed on his laptop non-stop. His brows scrounged up impatiently as he freed one hand to pound on the lift door. "Shut the hell up! If you mess up my thoughts, be prepared to be in there for the whole night!" The procedure was not difficult, but it was complicated. In fact, it required multiple layers of steps and programs to solve. After the pounding, the lift began to shake again which caused both Mr. and Mrs. Bennet to be frightened out of their mind. So they held onto the handrails in the lift with jittery hands. At this point, their throats were parched and their voices were gruff from the screaming. However, they were still stuck in the dark lift. Not only were they not allowed to leave, but they also had

Mr. Bennet's red wine collection was considered high-class to his family, but when presented to Edward, it was as low as it could get. Now, just by smelling the wine destroyed any of his desire to drink it. Mr. Bennet smiled awkwardly. "So Edward, what would you like to drink? I'll ask my servant to buy them." Edward simply glanced at Mr. Bennet. "No need, I don't have the appetite." He was a strange individual. If he had to spend time with people he was not fond of, he would be disinterested and disgusted with everything they do. It was even more pronounced if the purpose was for a meal. Mr. Bennet thought it might be the dishes that were prepared, so he smiled at Rue. "Rue, what does Edward like to eat? I'll get the chefs to prepare some new dishes!" Rue paused in frustration and embarrassment. How would she know what Edward liked eating? The times she and Edward had sat down together and ate could be counted in one hand. Moreover, it had never been just the both of

Rachel paused, confused. "Baby, why do you say 'again'? I just found out from them this afternoon, did you already know?" Ziggy shook his head. "No, didn't you just mention the incident at the toilet?" Rachel scratched her head awkwardly. "Oops, I must've confused myself."Ziggy reached out from under the blanket and patted Rachel's head with a smile. "Mommy is a little scatterbrained!" Rachel hugged Ziggy and rolled around in bed as they both laughed loudly like bells. "Baby, I have a feeling that a guardian angel is protecting me! Every time something bad happens, they’ve always protected me from all the bad things!" Ziggy nodded happily. He wanted to tell Rachel that he was the guardian angel she was talking about.However, to avoid scaring her, he chose to remain silent. "That's right! Mommy's guardian angel must be very handsome!" Rachel pouted. "How do you know it’s a man?! I think she must be a beautiful woman angel!" Ziggy shook his head decisively. "No no!

Rue halted and turned around, her body trembling uncontrollably. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet were right. She could not control a man like this! However, she did not want to give up on a man this exceptional, even though she could not manipulate him, and worse, she did not want to give Rachel the opportunity! "Edward, w-what is it? Do you have anything else you'd like to do?" Edward squinted coldly. "What are you trying to do, going upstairs?" Rue gritted her teeth. "I would like to go and rest..." "Rest? You hit my child, and now you want to go upstairs and rest?" Edward cocked his head with Josh in his arms. There was a chilling look on his face. Rue shuddered. "I've already explained myself. It was only an accident, but you didn't believe me. Besides, you've already hit me, what more do you want?" Josh tugged at Edward's hand non-stop. "Father, please let it go. I think mother might not be in a great mood tonight, so she..." Edward held onto Josh's tiny hand with his large
