Fay gave Teddy a scornful glance while grinning. "I won’t respond to this.”"You..." Teddy started, but she cut him off. "What's wrong? You taught me.”Teddy quickly fell silent as he remembered that he had not responded to her questions before. Fay was not going to wait for him to say anything more. She got up and picked up her luggage. "The agreement has been signed. I'll be on my way if nothing else comes up.”Teddy gave an uninterested response,"Hmm." She pondered, "Why are you acting so arrogantly?” Does he truly believe that I am unaware of the type of man he is? She stepped to the office door and rolled her eyes at him. She was about to leave Teddy’s office, though, when she felt a sudden, intense, twisting agony in her stomach. She groaned uncontrollably as the excruciating pain shot through her body."Ugh..." she was barely able to remain motionless. She fought to keep herself from falling by leaning on the door frame. She was upset, and Teddy, who had been lost in his wor

After witnessing her talk with her mother, Odessa had assumed that Fay would ask her about her familial circumstances. Fay didn't ask about it, though. Rather, she said softly, "You should leave; it's getting late. I'm to blame for you having to put in extra time." Odessa shot back, "No... Miss Roy, it's all right. One of my responsibilities is to look after you.”“It's okay," Fay responded with a smile. “You are free to depart.” "But, Miss Roy, if I leave, who will take care of you?" Odessa inquired after a moment of hesitation. "I've invited a friend over already. You're free to return now. Remain calm," Fay reassured her. She had messaged Roxy during her earlier medical examination, and she was probably on her way. Fay hadn't told her family about her predicament since she didn't want them to know. Despite her want to stay and care for her, Odessa was forced to leave when her mother called once more. "Miss Roy, I'll be heading out now. Get enough rest.”Fay gave a nod. "Go ah

in the lounge behind the stage. Fay reclined back on the couch and casually read the script, making notes on the important details. "You are Ms. Roy right? Our chairman wants to confirm a few points in your speech. Would you mind joining me for a little while?" "Okay." Fay rose from the couch and gave Odessa the script. "Pay attention to the script. Keep it together.”Odessa grasped the script and gripped it firmly. "Understood, Miss Roy."Bea came into the lounge shortly after Fay had gone. "Where's Miss Roy?" She asked."Miss Roy went to verify the details of her speech," Odessa retorted. “Are you in need of anything?”“It's not a huge concern. They require assistance moving some items out of the warehouse. I was instructed to call for assistance. You can accompany me since you're here," Bea remarked. It wasn't a big deal to help her. However, Odessa paused to consider Fay’s directions before heading off. "But... Miss Roy asked me to watch over her script here." "What's the issu

Fay’s bold and lucid speech reverberated through the microphone while Griffon and Bea conversed. Her passionate delivery instantly enthralled the audience, and she appeared elegant and talked without a hitch. Even those who had looked uninterested were now leaning forward, listening intently to her. The crowd exploded in tremendous applause as she finished speaking, and then there was a chorus of admiration and acclaim. "Miss Roy truly has the ability to give a speech that is so powerful even without notes. She clearly has extraordinary abilities.”“This also reflects her thorough preparation for this business exchange, showing great respect to everyone in attendance." "Miss Roy is a useful CEO due to her expertise and dedication. I'll be sure to give her my business card." "Count me in for one as well..." As a result, many corporate executives gave Fay a stack of business cards after she left the stage. Many of them approached her in hopes of working with her company. "Thank yo

Bea softly said as she fixed the technical expert with her gaze, "It can't be recovered, can it?”For some time, the technical specialist kept working on the computer. Then he looked solemnly and shook his head. “I apologize, Miss Roy. There is no way to retrieve the surveillance footage from that time period because it has been overwritten too much.”Bea sighed with relief and gave Fay a smug grin. She would love to see what else Fay might come up with because the surveillance tape was unrecoverable!After giving her chin a gentle pat and giving it some thought, Fay gave the technical specialist at the computer instructions. "Get to your feet. I'll attempt to resolve it.”The technological specialist got up and gave her a perplexed expression. "Miss Roy, you're knowledgeable in this field?" Fay took a seat and quietly answered, "I've learned a bit." It was impossible for Bea not to scoff. “Even professionals couldn't get it back, Miss Roy. Don't try to brag about how much you've l

Unwilling and desperate, Bea felt she had nowhere to go. Her eyes brightened when she suddenly remembered Griffon.‘Griffon is able to assist me. We're so close. He will undoubtedly assist me’ Bea thought. "Help me, Griffon, please! Ask Miss Roy to allow me to remain in the company," Bea begged. Everyone turned to stare at Griffon after hearing Bea’s remarks. But Griffon stiffened, looking at Bea furiously. He had no desire to be associated with this issue. Griffon had been silent for some time, and Bea was so nervous. "Griffon, please, say something," she pleaded. “Please give me another chance, Miss Roy! Why don’t you speak up Griffon?”Fay interrupted icily before Griffon could reply, "Griffon? Why is Bea requesting your assistance now? Do you have anything to do with this?” She appeared to be able to see through everything because of the clarity of her eyes. A cold perspiration appeared on Griffon’s spine as he immediately became alarmed. He inhaled deeply and made an effort t

Francis’s expression grew gloomy. He had seen plenty of blatantly immoral people, but Bea’s boldness was something else entirely. He gave her a long, icy stare. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, the office door flung open. "Hi, brother! Let's meet together for dinner later.”Bea and the security guard were shocked to see Fay here. Why did she had to come now?Francis’s expression suddenly changed from one of melancholy to one of gentleness upon seeing Fay. "Yes.”"What are you craving?" Fay counted on her fingers while she pondered. "I want to eat—“Francis gave a loving smile. "We'll have everything. I'll take care of anything you can't finish. That isn't an issue.”Fay grinned, too. "Alright, since you said so, I'll have whatever I want." "Yes, I did say that. You can order anything you want.“Fay responded, "Okay, I'll go make the reservation while you finish up here," and turned to go. But as she did, Bea and the stunned security guard caught her eye. "These two were just

"Charity auction? Well, I don't have much going on lately, so why not go and have some fun?" Fay asked after giving it some thought."That's the essence!” Mae cheerfully took up the phone and stated, "You should enjoy yourself more instead of staying cooped up in the office all the time. I'll let them know right away." Fay nodded and grinned. "Sure." the following day. Mae provided some of the newest designer gowns for Fay to select from, including custom-made gowns, limited editions, and even very expensive custom gowns that hadn't been displayed in public. Fay was overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices. She was still undecided after a long time. She ultimately opted for a simple dress, as she always does not to draw too much attention in public."Hello, sweetie.”When Fay heard this voice, she turned to look behind her. When she noticed Roxy leaning against the door frame, she smiled. "You're right on time, Ro. Help me choose this dress.”Before expressing her view, Roxy exam

"What a coincidence, Miss Roy. Have you been invited to the charity auction today as well?” Celia’s tone was sarcastic, as though to suggest that Fay had entered this tournament by unethical methods. Fay gave her a chilly stare after catching her sarcasm. "What else could it be? Entering covertly from the rear entrance?" "Miss Roy, I didn't mean that," Celia said, adopting an innocent expression. “It's unnecessary to be so antagonistic.”Fay gave an uninterested shrug. "What? When did I start acting aggressively?”Celia swayed Teddy’s arm while biting her lip and acting sly. "It appears that Miss Roy has some problems with me, Ted. I only wanted to greet her. That's all.”Quietly, Teddy gazed at Fay with conflicted feelings in his eyes. When he looked at her from a distance, she appeared even more stunning. He was constantly drawn to her beauty, which was difficult to describe, and he was unable to turn away. Teddy rarely got sidetracked. He occurred to glance into Fay’s glistening

Unwillingly, Celia chewed her lip while sitting next to Teddy. Occasionally, her uneasy hooded eyes fell on Fay. Fay noticed it but remained silent as she waited for the auction to start in her chair. Her manner was calm and elegant, like that of a swan. With a sidelong glance, Teddy took note of Fay’s refined appearance. He was deep in contemplation, as evidenced by the tapping of his fingers on his sofa's armrest. Fay had become very noticeable after their divorce. He questioned whether her earlier soft and submissive manner was a façade. The hostess had already ascended the stage as he thought. She said a few greetings before introducing the first item up for bidding.This one-of-a-kind earring from the Adoring Collection was created by a well-known international designer. “This particular pair, which starts at $70,000, is the only one in the world. Please feel free to bid, ladies and gentlemen, if you are interested. The bidding will begin at three, two, one.”The earrings had
