All Chapters of Live Flesh: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

When Juliet Wagner arrived at the entrance of the café, her phone rang again. She glanced through the floor-to-ceiling window and saw Rebecca Davy on the phone, looking extremely impatient.Juliet Wagner hung up the call, and just as Rebecca Davy was about to dial back, she had already reached the table.Rebecca Davy's face was as grim as it could be, but she still tried to force a smile. "It's really hard to get an appointment with Ms Wagner. We agreed on seven, and you only showed up at eight.""I told you I had something to attend to tonight and asked you not to wait, but since you were so eager for talent, I felt honored and rushed over," Juliet Wagner replied, her words always carefully chosen. Rebecca Davy was left speechless.Suppressing her temper, she invited Juliet Wagner to sit down. "Since that's the case, you can see my sincerity. Everyone knows how capable you are, Ms Wagner. I am genuinely inviting you to join our company, Illusory Colors.""If it's for a small secr

Juliet Wagner and Jessie Watt stayed at Emerald Lake for a few days, at least she wouldn't have to worry about her parents causing trouble for two weeks.As for what would happen after two weeks, that could be dealt with later.Juliet Wagner couldn't even take care of the present situation, how could she think about the future?She ignored Tang Pinan for a few more days, feeling that continuing to do so might become inappropriate, so she called to ask if the position was still available.It was clear that Tang Pinan had been waiting for her call for a long time."Since Morgan asked me to handle it, I naturally made sure the position is still reserved for you.""If Madam Tang doesn't mind, when can I start working?""You can start anytime. Go to the Human Resources Department first to complete your onboarding procedures."And so, Juliet Wagner went to Illusion Color and became Tang Pinan's Public Relations Manager.Tang Pinan was very impatient. On Juliet Wagner's first day, sh

Tommy's blue eyes were filled with desire and lust for Juliet Wagner.In that instant, Juliet Wagner suddenly realized that Tommy was the person Rebecca Davy had arranged.So much for being a big tycoon from some EU conglomerate; she was just lured here to be at someone's mercy.Juliet Wagner had previously thought that Rebecca Davy wouldn't dare to be so bold, but she had underestimated a woman's jealousy.Now, alone in an unfamiliar place, a lone woman against a tall, burly man like Tommy, Juliet Wagner knew she was no match for him.Looking at the large, hairy hand gripping her wrist, she steeled herself and downed the glass of wine in one go."Can I go to the restroom now?"Tommy grinned, his mouth splitting into a wide smile. "Ms Wagner, you have quite the capacity. How about a few more glasses before you go?"After being forced to drink several more glasses, Juliet Wagner felt the alcohol hit her hard, making her head spin. She didn't know what they had spiked the drinks

In the evening, Morgan Byron actually came to find Juliet Wagner. She was already in her pajamas, ready for bed.He carried a faint smell of alcohol, suggesting he had just finished some social engagements.Juliet Wagner asked in surprise, "Why are you here?""Did you meet my mother today?""Yeah.""Did she give you a hard time?""Senior Mrs. Byron is quite proper; she wouldn't embarrass me in front of so many people.""Hmm." Morgan Byron nodded, suddenly catching her chin and examining her profile."What's wrong?""Nothing. I think I might have been a bit too rough last night." He chuckled softly.Juliet Wagner thought back to the previous night, unsure whether she should laugh along with him."Do you want something to drink?""No, thanks." Morgan Byron said, "I just came to see how you're doing. Are you getting used to living here?""Yeah, I am.""That's good. Stay here for now. Don't go back to Jessie Watt's place. Your parents will come looking for you again soon."J

On the way back, she and The Driver remained silent, The Driver even avoiding eye contact with her. He was probably afraid of her asking questions, not knowing how to respond.Juliet Wagner felt that even Rebecca Davy seemed oblivious a few days ago. If she had already decided to marry Morgan Byron, she wouldn't have picked on her. But this was just Juliet Wagner's speculation. No one knew what Morgan Byron was thinking or what he would do next. Therefore, his recent tenderness towards her meant nothing.When Juliet Wagner returned to Emerald Lake, Jessie Watt was puzzled by her early return. "You're back so soon? I thought you two were going for a candlelit dinner at noon, no, it can't be in broad daylight. So, did you plan to go for a candlelit dinner tonight? When are you moving back to the Byron family home? No, Senior Mrs. Byron is too picky. So, are you planning to make your love nest here at Emerald Lake? Should I move out to give you some space?" Jessie Watt chattered like a
