Hector’s expression dimmed slightly. “Grandmother, it’s okay if you dislike Maisie, but you have no right to slander her.”Madam Vanderbilt was about to lose her temper, but Yorick stopped her instantly. “Mother, Hecky has brought his girlfriend here to pay you a visit. Why are you acting so irritably?”‘His girlfriend?’The two relatives and Heidi looked at Lucy immediately.Lucy smiled politely at them and then brought the supplements to her. “Madam Vanderbilt, don’t get so worked up if you’re sick and hospitalized. Getting angry will only worsen your condition. These are some supplements that I bought for you.”Heidi took a closer look at her.‘She’s dressed in ordinary clothes. At first glance, she looks like a daughter from a poor family. So, perhaps she’s only gotten together with Hector because of his status.’“What’s your parents’ status?”Lucy’s smile stiffened slightly.Heidi did not accept her gifts. Instead, she crossed her arms and claimed, “You have to be a daugh

“This old hag is still trying to save her face in front of us. After running around the city with her for a few days, we've gained nothing. She keeps on claiming that she’s able to accomplish anything, Hector will definitely listen to her, and the list goes on and on. We shouldn’t have trusted her so much in the first place.”The two relatives discussed among themselves and decided to pack up and return to Coralia. They then turned around and saw Heidi standing at the door, and they were petrified for a moment.Heidi felt piqued as she listened to the two of them talking about herself behind her back, but she was still trying her best to maintain her composure.Especially when facing her relatives, she laughed instead of losing her head. “Why are you planning to return home so quickly? Why are you in such a hurry? Give me a few more days. Hector has always been close to me ever since he was a child. It’s just that he’s been led astray by Maisie. After all, I’m his grandmother. There

“It’s your own fault if Dad renounces you.”Hector ignored her and walked into the delivery room.Heidi turned pale, and her arrogance dissipated. The next day, Yorick moved out of the ancestral Vanderbilt mansion. The neighbors said Heidi almost caused her daughter-in-law to lose her child and had no sympathy for her.They had been living on the same street for a long time and had witnessed how she pushed people around. After the incident involving Yorick and Hector, she had been more passive, but unfortunately, she was still the same person inside. Her family had broken up, and her children and grandchildren had abandoned her. Even though it was sad, she deserved it. After a week…Maisie visited her aunt, Bella, at the hospital. She was holding the baby girl in her arms. The baby was asleep after she was fed. Maisie sat down next to the bed. “How are you feeling?”“Much better.” She smiled and nodded. She was grateful when she found out that Maisie was the one who had sa

The few men next to Cindy saw the white Land Rover parked nearby and knew something was wrong, so they didn’t dare advance. This wasn’t their turf, and they would be in trouble if they offended someone.They picked up the man that was down and left. Without her backers, Cindy was a lot less intimidating and ran away too.Elaine was still processing what happened when the man helped her up. “Ms. Xavier, are you alright?”She looked at him, stunned. “Aren’t you…”She was familiar with him. It was the manager of the cafe. He smiled and replied, “I was in the club with my boss, and we saw you when we came out.”The man in the Land Rover walked over in his casual suit with a black turtleneck top.The top was fitting, and the lines could clearly be seen. He was fit but not muscular. Muscular people wouldn’t look great in fitted clothes, and people who were too skinny would make it look hollow.He wore it nicely. He was a good-looking gentleman. “Are you alright?”Elaine finally

“You shouldn’t drink with your clients too often. If you can’t get out of it, drink less.” Ian paused for a few seconds, then jokingly said, “Or you could pretend to drink.”She paused before sniggering. “Have you pretended to drink before?”Pretending to drink was just a way to avoid drinking, pouring the alcohol into another glass or just pouring it away when people weren’t paying attention. That would be possible to pull off at a party with friends, but it was not advisable with clients. They would think you were insincere if you got caught, and the deal might fall through. Ian chuckled. “I’m a man, so I wouldn’t be in danger if I got too drunk.”Elaine paused. When she was at Beyond Tech, she was the owner’s daughter when she went out drinking with the clients, so they were courteous to her.However, it was different now that she was just another employee. Women got taken advantage of because they had to drink for their bosses and make the clients happy.It was bad for hea
