Chapter 11

One day, there was an extra orange on the table, and a smiley face was drawn on it.Sandra looked around, and she landed on Zachary, who held his chin up and smiled at her foolishly. They were the two youngest members of the newly joined team members. However, they were the ones who achieved the highest scores in the written test.Sandra ranked the first, and Zachary ranked second. Marcus seemed to want to match them up, so he arranged for the both of them in the same group. Some of the classmates made fun of them too. Zachary raised his eyebrows and made a hush gesture to everyone.After class, Zachary asked Sandra to have dinner together.Sandra was embarrassed to eat as Zachary did not touch the food in front of him."Sandra, do you really not remember me?"Sandra smiled awkwardly. "I have to thank you for sending me to the hotel the last time.""Besides the last time, do you remember anything before that?"Sandra thought about it. Apart from the previous time when he spla

Sandra abruptly paused the experiment she was working on. She could ignore Keith, but she could not ignore Marcus.She looked back at Marcus and said, "Mr. White, I don't want to see him."Marcus looked up and motioned for Sandra to look out the window. There stood a familiar figure standing outside in the snow."If he could be persuaded, he would've left long ago. He said he just wanted to see you, so I came to ask for your opinion."Sandra's cell phone rang at that moment. It was a call from the security department downstairs."Ms Hudson, there is a man here who wants to see you. He said he is your husband."Sandra replied calmly, "Please tell him to leave. We are not married. I have nothing to do with him."Sandra stood by the window, watching Keith standing in snow and wind at the entrance. His coat was wet and he could not help but shiver uncontrollably.Keith's affection did not mean anything to Sandra. Who was he trying to impress?Keith stood at the entrance for severa

Keith was a little surprised. What she wanted to eat was something she had never wanted previously. However, he had never known that she was only avoiding those foods because of him.The spicy food served was boiling in front of them. Keith was choking and tearing up from the spiciness."Mr. Farmer, don't force yourself if you can't stand take the heat."Sandra, on the other hand, enjoyed her delicious meal. She did not look like someone who was afraid of spicy food.Keith did not want to show his weakness, especially in front of his competitor.He picked up a big mouthful of chilli and took a bite, but coughed because of the spiciness. He started tearing up and sweating profusely.Zachary handed him a tissue and said, "Don't eat it if you can't take it. You can just leave."Keith seemed to understand that Zachary was implying. His fighting spirit aroused at that moment. He took several more spoonfuls of food and gulped everything down.Sandra focused on enjoying her food. It

Sandra's experiment was just one specimen away from completion. The entire team went out to collect the specimen.While putting on his working attire, Zachary vowed to Sandra, "Don't worry. I'll find the specimen for you."Sandra was a little worried. "Most of these specimens grow on cliffs, which is why they're rare. We have to be careful.""Don't worry! How could I bear to leave you alone?""The specimen isn't important. You need to pay attention to your own safety."There were not many ladies in the research team, so the main roles were carried out by men. After all, they had a physical advantage on physical activities.The team went into the mountains. Keith followed them unexpectedly.He was walking behind the team. When Marcus saw him, he called Sandra over to persuade him to leave."Mr. Farmer, this is not a place you should be in."Keith replied, "I heard from the security at the door that you're looking for specimens for Sandra. I was wondering if I could be of any he

Sandra cried so hard that she almost fainted. Everyone tried to find a way to get to the bottom of the cliff, hoping that they could be saved."Mr. Farmer, you are finally awake."Keith's assistant, Jared Light, walked over to him.Jared's eyes were red, as if he had just cried. "Mr. Farmer, I was really scared."Keith wanted to speak, but he could not speak at all."Don't move. You fell off the high cliff. Fortunately, there were branches and snow piles to cushion the fall. Otherwise, you would've died. You have a high fever and have been in a coma for three days."Keith looked at the ceiling, his mind fuzzy. He finally remembered everything that happened.He supported himself to sit up with great difficulty then pulled out the IV needle in his hand. Blood dripped from his fingertips, looking grim.'Where is the specimen? Can it still be used?'He looked around, but did not see Sandra. 'Did Sandra have an accident too? If not, why isn't she guarding my bed?'He demonstrate

Keith softened his heart. He felt that his head was about to explode. His tears combined with the blood from his fingertips dripping onto the floor made for a terrifying image.Keith reached out his hand carefully, trying to hold Sandra's hand as he said, "Leave him, Sandra. I can support you no matter what you want to do. Come back to me, please. You're the only one I have left now."Sandra replied coldly, "You still have Ivy. My future belongs to Zachary."Keith slid weakly to the ground, using his last bit of strength to grab Sandra's clothes. He knelt on the ground sincerely and begged, "Sandra, what do you want me to do before you are willing to forgive me?"Sandra did not even look at him. "I forgive you, Keith. Please let me go.""Sandra, I have never thought of breaking up with you. No matter what I did before, I never meant to hurt you. I'm begging you to please give me another chance, please?"Sandra removed Keith's hand that was grabbing on her clothes. "Keith, don't l

Keith changed into new, clean clothes and went to the entrance of the research facility again.The security personnel recognized him and asked, "Are you here for Ms. Hudson again?"Keith bribed the security personnel with two packs of cigarettes. He happily accepted them and whispered in Keith's ear, "Ms. Hudson seems to have a conflict with Mr. Lawrence."Keith smiled in relief and thanked the security personnel. He went directly into the main building of the research facilities.Keith waited for a long time on the first floor, but he did not see Sandra come down. Later, he saw Marcus walking down the stairs slowly towards him."Hello, Mr. White.""Keith, please go home. You've been here for a long time. I heard that you manage a big corporation, so don't you need to go back to handle it?"Marcus immediately ordered Keith to leave.Keith knew what Marcus meant, but he would not give up. "Mr. White, I'm sorry for what happened before. I was reckless."Marcus waved his hand wit

Chapter 18

The four of them drove into the compound of the research facility, and the security personnel at the entrance let them in.Marcus was the first to receive the news about their presence, so he took them to the conference room."Please rest and wait here for a moment. Sandra has yet to finish her experiment. She will come down to meet you after she is done. We are at the critical stage of our project, everyone must be in full concentration and not distracted. Please wait for a moment."Jared thanked Marcus and sent him away.Irene looked around and muttered, "Sandra really is our biological daughter. She's doing very well."Mike put his hands behind his back and stood up straight. He looked at most of the award certificates on the wall, unaware that Sandra had joined any competitions. For the first time, he was proud of his daughter.After waiting for nearly two hours, when everyone's patience was about to wear out, Sandra arrived with Zachary.Zachary greeted Mike and Irene respe

Chapter 19

Mike stood up to take a photo of Sandra, and Irene cried with joy. All the major media companies took the opportunity to report it.Suddenly, a reporter took out his phone and handed it to another reporter. All of the other reporters took out their phones and started to check as well. It became chaotic all of a sudden.Some people whispered to each other and looked strangely at Sandra.The news reached the jury panel. The leader of the jury was a supporter of Sandra's opponent, so he would definitely not miss the opportunity to do something.He asked someone to project the live broadcast onto the big screen.Ivy's face appeared on the big screen suddenly. She was sitting in a wheelchair, crying."It was my sister who copied my research. She stole my fiancé and my parents. She also caused me to fall from a high building at my wedding. I'm now wheelchair-bound for the rest of my life, and I can never stand up again."The audience broke into discussion. Everyone started to debate i

Chapter 20

Sandra looked at Zachary with tears in her eyes.Three people who she once thought were her family members sat in the audience, fully knowing the whole truth of the incident. However, they did not have the courage to stand up and speak for her.Zachary, who was seemingly an unreliable person, stood by her unconditionally, believed in her, supported her, and backed her up.The people in the audience were murmuring.Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Zachary took Sandra's hand and knelt on one knee. He then took out a ring from the pocket on his trousers. Even those standing in the back row could see a huge diamond."Sandra, will you marry me?"All the voices of doubts were eliminated by what was happening as another exciting event attracted everyone's attention.Ivy, who was still on the big screen, was obviously watching the live broadcast over on Sandra's end. She almost broke down when she saw the situation overturn.Ivy shouted incessantly. The host saw that things were n
