Hadley was acting defensively, so Harry remarked, "Hadley, I'm sorry for speaking ill of you before."He apologized with a deep bow.Startled, Hadley took a step back."It's been a year," she thought. Why does he appear different?”"Why do you bow that way? I'm still alive." "You wouldn't treat your father with this much respect," she said.Her final statement amused Harry."Hadley, I haven't seen you in a year," he said, leaning playfully against the wall. “Since we last met, you've grown considerably funnier. After escaping that slime, you are genuinely more attractive."Hadley gave him a disbelieving look. "Harry, how about you walk outside, turn right, and then turn left at the intersection with the red light? There's a renowned hospital there. You should see a physician. You seem a little strange to me.”Harry was perplexed. "I'm not sick," he said, laughing. “I've grown up a lot, don't you think?”He thought he was quite grown up."Even my dad says so."Hadley grinned. "You are

Harry’s eyes were wide. "Is it fake again this time?" he wondered."Mr. Brolin, are you saying those antiques are fake?" he inquired inquisitively.Dion regretted what he had spoken and covered his mouth."Did you sign the contract?" Hadley said, glancing at him.Dion gave a headshake. "No, Cohen is attempting to cause trouble and is quite obstinate. He has the necessary herbs, but he won't sell them to us at our price.”Hadley scowled a little. Cohen’s stubbornness surprised her. He refused to sell even though the price she gave was the going rate. "Let's look for other suppliers," she proposed.There were lots of choices. For convenience with the kids, she chose the Saldana family because they had everything she needed."Hadley, do you think this batch of antiques is fake too?" Harry asked her after their talk, feeling perplexed.He was aware that someone was undermining his family, but he was unable to pinpoint them.Hadley scowled at him. "You ought to look into the counterfeit an

However, Harry was always so direct.Andrew made his intentions clear as soon as he spoke."Why are you asking so much? Are you not busy?" Harry’s eyes met Andrew’s calm, piercing gaze.Harry grinned and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, man. Tobias is coming back tomorrow, by the way. Would you like to meet up with me?”Andrew felt a twinge of grief when he thought of Tobias and the deceased Rory. This journey overseas was for work, and Tobias had been a brother who had accompanied him. Andrew said, "Let's get together tomorrow evening."Then Harry departed."Andrew, do you think Harry is pursuing Hadley?" Laura asked Andrew as she turned to watch Harry leave. “He seems to have changed a lot and doesn't go out much this year.”With icy eyes, Andrew tracked Harry’s fleeing form and felt the gap between them widen.Laura’s heart was heavy as she observed Andrew’s stillness. Rory’s eyes were fierce, but Andrew’s gaze was always serene.But Hadley’s cruel scheme was sparked by the

Lyon felt uneasy. However, Andrew was likely overanalyzing it because he had been with Laura for more than a year. "By the way, he now has a multibillion-dollar real estate project, an eco-friendly development in the rising tourism industry. This time, we have to work along with him."This is something he only learned about today.Mary got to her feet with grace. "This is not the appropriate moment. I'll head home on my own. I'm worried that I won't be able to control myself in the automobile. You take care of the news."Mary became alert.When Lyon noticed this, he gave a seductive smile.Mary gave him a rolling look.Lyon laughed. "Andrew managed to keep it a secret. The Fern family owns this land and will be participating in the development.”"Yes! We are able to obtain a portion of the pie. It will significantly aid in the expansion of the business.”"Don't go back tonight, okay?" Lyon said as he approached her, gave her a hug, and buried his head in her shoulder. “Jude is also no

Hadley emerged from the restroom thirty minutes later. The two children fell asleep at 9:30 PM. She went to bed with the two children after Olivia departed, but she was unable to fall asleep.Perhaps it was because she had met Andrew this evening. Her feelings were still somewhat impacted by it.She thought of his hard kiss as she gazed at the ceiling. Deep down, she was filled with loathing and hatred. She felt very uneasy with him. Her heart was in excruciating anguish, like if it had been split in two."Beep..." She felt depressed and wanted to stop thinking about that jerk. She checked the message on her phone. It came from Dion.[You ought to monitor the news, Boss.]Hadley scowled. Now what?She then looked at the news on her phone.[Hadley Beck, Mr. Brolin's assistant, entices Andrew Shaw, Laura Beck’s boyfriend.]Pictures of Andrew dragging Hadley into a private room were shown below. You could see her face well. She was being insulted by every comment.[I now understand why

Laura was at home already. After Andrew called and she didn’t pick the call in time, she glanced at the phone and hurled it furiously into the couch. She felt worn out. Andrew seems to be losing patience with Hadley ever since her return.Everyone was aware of her joy during the past year, but who understood that her shame had nowhere to go?Andrew appeared to be growing increasingly impatient with her."Drew, don't you dare disappoint me," she exclaimed. She got to her feet, a concerned expression on her face.Those items were posted online by who?She detested Andrew’s conduct as well. Someone had captured it on camera when he went to pull Hadley.Frustrated, she reached into the wine cabinet and pulled out a red wine bottle. She couldn't open it when she looked at the cork. To get the driver to open it for her, she had to phone him.Sawyer had already showered when he arrived upstairs. He stayed in the Beck Villa's backyard because Laura required the automobile constantly.His bath

Hadley was also aware that burning bridges was not the right course of action right now."All right! I won't make the footage of you ordering the murder public until you can resolve this."Hadley concurred.Laura hung up.Andrew’s office was now illuminated by the morning sun. It was cozy and warm."Drew, it would be most convincing if you came forward to clear this up," Laura said, feeling a surge of sorrow as she looked at the intimidating Andrew and considered how she had deceived him the previous evening. “Just come up with any justification Hadley will accept."She was confident that this man would assist her. She sat in silence.With a languid and alluring stance, Andrew sat in his swivel chair. He grinned mischievously and said, "Laura, if you want me to step in, tell me who posted last night's photos online."There was an alluring charm to his deep voice.Laura’s eyes quivered a little. Over a year later, she finally understood him. "It was my mom. You were dragging Hadley in

Hadley inhaled deeply. She got to her feet. "Dion, you worked hard for years," Hadley said, giving him a gentle slap on the shoulder. "I want you to retire for a while. You should run the business effectively throughout this period. At the end of the year, I'll give you a villa. You put forth a lot of effort this year.”Money was not Dion’s passion. He enjoyed taking on challenging tasks. In addition, his tongue was keen. He had to control his words and deeds as president. He was not allowed to swear at anybody."Boss, you should send me on a mission," Dion replied, feeling suffocated. "I will partner with Ercell. Everything will be alright. Dealing with those flattering people is something I dislike. I dislike it.”"You foolish," Hadley remarked, giving him a strong shoulder squeeze. "How many people in this world do things they like? They must do it even if they dislike it. It doesn't appeal to me either. I'm still sitting here, though. Sit down and act appropriately!"Like a toddle

At this point, the manager and a few others hurried over."I apologize, Ms. Beck," the manager said to Hadley. “I'll terminate her immediately because I didn't manage the workforce well."After hearing this, the receptionist turned to face the manager and said, "I was just trying to...""For what purpose? Do you treat visitors like this? Pack your belongings and head off right now.”The receptionist was taken aback. She had applied for this position over a dozen times. The reason for this was that the visitors were either wealthy or influential."Boohoo... You can't fire me," she said, dressing elegantly every day in the hopes of marrying a wealthy man. “What went wrong? I just prevented a shameless woman from entering.”She couldn't comprehend the manager's decision to terminate her in favor of Hadley.The manager's face took a sharp turn.This woman must be fed up with life. Anybody who ventured to harass his aide would face severe consequences, according to Dion’s orders."You must

Hadley noticed Virginia’s inflamed eyes and arched an eyebrow. Her heart skipped a beat as she remembered the night Virginia had wasted herself into a stupor. "Ni, he would not be coming back this year." Hadley said as she watched Virginia’s reaction. Virginia nodded."I want to sing, Had. I feel stuck in a part when I act for too long. For once, I want to live a different life.”Hadley stared at her. ‘Given their frequent interactions, it was understandable that feelings might develop between her and Pedro.” Hadley thought.Many things could change after years apart, but no one can control matters of the heart."Do as you please, Ni. Simply ask Dion to set it up for you if you wish to sing. The company will assist you in whatever you want to accomplish because you are so talented."‘Virginia’s talent was real," Hadley thought. ‘With her skills, she had genuinely established herself in the entertainment business.’"Well I didn't call you here to discuss work, Had. Join me for supper
