Chapter 11 Cedric, You Pervert
Cedric's presence filled the room with awkwardness. He was still wearing his clothes from yesterday. Under the glaring sun rays, his smile made him look like a prince.Faye's breath caught for a moment. She was confused and charmed at the same time. Her mouth hung slightly open.Cedric's gaze fell on Faye's lips. His breathing quickened.The atmosphere in the room took on a flirtatious vibe immediately.Faye's mouth was open, yet she couldn't say a word. She was so stunned that she forgot to push Cedric away.Cedric laughed at her reaction. He pinched her face and said teasingly, "Have I made you speechless?"Faye suddenly remembered that Cedric was just teasing her earlier. She shoved him out of embarrassment and stood up. "Nonsense! I saw some gunk in your eyes and wanted to wipe it away for you. Not only did you fail to thank me for my kindness, you tried to misinterpret something entirely innocent as well!""Oh?" Cedric looked at the blushing Faye.Faye still looked very

Chapter 12 I Will Protect You in the Future
"After Faye returned, did she even visit you once? I'm pretty sure she has forgotten about her mother. She must have been busy hanging out with a group of men all this while. Flora, I don't mean to burst your bubble, but if Faye missed out on marrying Hank, she might end up with some random guy in the future," Lizzie said. "I doubt any random guy would want someone as flawed as her. Besides, marrying into the Shaw household could reform her for the better. Mom and Dad are just being considerate," Tracy added as well.Flora was furious. She kept coughing after hearing Lizzie and Tracy's words. "You ... All of you … Get out! None of you can ruin my daughter's reputation!"Her anger prevented her from speaking.Lizzie pretended to care as she said, "Flora, be careful not to ruin your health. If something happens to you, who will take care of Faye? You don't understand our situation. The company you founded is facing a huge crisis. If Faye doesn't marry into the Shaw household, the co

Chapter 13 Move Out At Once
Faye always thought that her mother had become a bitter woman after what she had been through.After her sickness, Clint's betrayal, and Lizzy's homewrecking, she was emotionally wrecked, especially when Faye left the country.So why was she asking about her medication now?"What? Do you think your mother should be crying her eyes out over that asshole?" Flora could see that Faye was shocked by her question. She smiled sarcastically. "I feel like whacking you in the face."Faye threw her arms around Flora excitedly. "Mom! Oh, this is awesome! You're back to the person you once were!"Indeed, Flora was once a strong, independent woman in the workforce. She'd built a company all on her own and had taken it to greater heights. She'd even helped Clint turn from a nobody to a business veteran.No one expected her to fall sick six years ago. Once her illness began, Clint's warmth and gentleness disappeared. And in less than six months, he took Lizzy and Tracy home without a word. He

Chapter 14 Cut Off Your Tongue
Faye strode toward them and saw a plump middle-aged woman. She had thrown everything out of Flora's room. She was also dragging Flora from the bed.Flora's condition had improved since Faye had returned to the country. Still, this woman's words angered her. She began coughing violently, which caused her face to turn red."What are you still pretending for? If you're sick, you can pay for the treatment. But if you're poor, you can't stand in the way of other people getting their treatments. Get the fuck up!""Please calm down, Mrs. Rockley. This is a hospital. Keep your hands to yourself." The nurse tugged at the agitated Mrs. Rockley while holding Flora down. "Ms. Dunham, please contact your family and get them to pay for your treatments. The hospital is in an awkward situation. Our wards are in high demand right now, and many of our patients cannot be hospitalized normally," the nurse told Flora as well.Flora hadn't expected Clint to stop paying for her medical expenses. The fa

Chapter 15 I'm Pursuing Faye
Dr. Ziegler frowned when he saw this. He looked at the tall, broad man next to him who was smirking, though his gaze was sharp. He wiped the sweat off his brows. "Mr. S—"Cedric walked toward Faye and stood before her. "How much are the outstanding fees?"Faye was not expecting Cedric to show up at such an awkward moment. She coughed in embarrassment. "I've already paid for them."Cedric raised his eyebrows. "Oh?"The nurse was about to speak, but Mrs. Rockley started screaming again. "What do you mean, paid? You're dirt poor. Forget about the hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can't possibly even afford three months' worth of medical bills.""Clint isn't giving you any money. You wouldn't be able to get a hundred thousand dollars even if you sold yourself." Wendy laughed.Just then, Wendy felt a sharp gaze resting on her. She trembled and instantly felt cold.The nurse finally had her chance to speak. "Dr. Ziegler, Mrs. Rockley and Ms. Wendy have misunderstood. Ms. Brown h

Chapter 16 Not a Good Guy
"Mom, why isn't that old hag, Flora, getting kicked out?" Tracy asked. Downstairs in the hospital, Tracy and Lizzy had been waiting for half an hour. Tracy frowned in annoyance.Lizzy's gaze deepened. "Don't be anxious. Let's wait it out. That fool, Mrs. Rockley, spoils her daughter like anything. She'll definitely cause a ruckus when she hears of this. Maybe Faye is there, which is why it's getting dragged out longer than it should."Tracy scoffed. "It's like Faye has turned into a different person since coming back. She's so gross."Lizzy patted her hands. "Don't worry. I could send her mother to the hospital. Would I be scared of her?"Faye smiled in glee. "That's true. Without Anthon and Dad's protection, she's nothing. Let's just wait for her to beg us for the money to pay for her mother's bills."Lizzy smirked.They weren't just here to provoke Flora. They were mostly here to visit Wendy and seize the chance to butter up Hank's aunt.Tracy and Wendy happened to be classm

Chapter 17 His Heart Has Melted
Cedric soon returned with their lunch. He had bought quite a few packs of it.They all suited Faye's tastes.Flora couldn't help glancing at Cedric again.He was very calculative. He had a firm grasp of what Faye liked."How can we possibly finish all of these?" Flora's tone was unpleasant. "Wasting food is a shameful thing to do."Cedric smiled. "I didn't know what you liked, so I bought a little of everything. It's alright if you can't finish it all. I'll feed it to stray dogs afterward."There had to be a reason why he was being so considerate.Flora raised her eyebrows. "What if I don't like any of it? Are you planning to feed it all to the dogs?"Cedric smiled. "If you don't like it, I'll just go out to buy you something you like. I'll eat these myself tonight."Flora laughed. "What about the dogs?"Cedric didn't mind. "It doesn't matter as long as you're happy," he told her.Faye glanced at him. Flora was taunting him on purpose, but he was still so good-natured."Mom

Five years ago, a main office was set up.Rumor had it that their global chief designer, Faye Fischer, had been the reason for the setting up of the main office.

This was also the reason Lincoln and the others respected her so much.Today, Light Moon Designs was hiring a chief assistant, a designer, and two assistant designers.

It was obvious how tough the competition was. The interviews were scheduled to start in more than ten minutes. Yet, the lounge was already packed with people.Some of the more nerv

Chapter 20 Where Did the Rabid Dog Come From?
Silence descended upon the corridor. The atmosphere became a little awkward. There were no words to describe Lincoln's expression. He cleaned up well but he looked … like a waiter? Even so, this was the first time someone had ever said that about him. He couldn't help bursting into laughter."What are you laughing at?" Anthon frowned. "I can't believe you're selling yourself at such a young age. You're a disgrace to all men!"Faye laughed with a hand over her mouth. She glanced at Lincoln, her gaze seemingly asking, "Are you going to stand for this?"He wasn't, of course. Lincoln was amused and exasperated as he held his head high and looked at Anthon. "Where did this clown come from? Is this how you leave an impression on someone?"Anthon was about to retort when he saw his father, Michael Lynch, running toward them excitedly. "M-Mr. Colt, is that you?"Anthon was stunned. "Dad, what are you talking about?""Mr. Colt, it's great to see you again." Michael pushed Anthon
