Vincent lifted his head and glanced at the man who spoke at the door. He pursed his lips into a malicious smile and carried on in washing his hands. "So, you are Liam's friend. Mr. John Jackson, right?" asked Vincent. He straightens his back and reaches for the paper towel to dry his hands. "I could see that you are so overconfident because you become Mr. Jacob's son-in-law," said John maliciously. Vincent chuckled and shook his head.

"Hailee!" The girls immediately welcome Hailee with hugs and cheek-to-cheek kisses. These women are Hailee's High School classmates she got close to. They were actually at her wedding, but she had little time to entertain them as she mingled with more of Vincent's relatives, and she had to take a seat many times to rest. Now, this is the best time to have a chit-chat to their heart's content, inquiring about each other's recent life events as they all are career women. "Girl, look at you! How did…

"Miss Jones, can we have a minute with you?" Pitt called out the manager. Miss Jones, instructing her staff to bring out more suits for the lady boss's husband, made an abrupt step toward Pitt and James. "Do you need anything else, sir?" Miss Jones was already familiar with them since they were the ones who always accompanied the lady boss every time she appeared in the hotel for timely visits. "Do you have a color brown or a gray suit, perhaps?" James queries once the manager gets close. "Yes,…

For a while, Kristian stared at Jacob. His boss is the most genuine person he has ever met, but he is not someone to mess with as well. He has been following him for almost twenty years, and he witnesses what he could do once provoked, which his bottom line is undoubtedly his daughter. When Liam turned his back, he saw the disappointment in his boss' eyes. "Liam must have seen something the reason he changed his belief. But whatever it is, that made him not worthy of my daughter. He cannot weigh…

Hailee sat up from lying down on the lounge chaise to better look at Vincent. She reached for his face, held him, and kissed his lips. She whispered, "I never doubted you since the very beginning." Vincent had a very tender look in his eyes, brushing his fingers on Hailee's hair. "That makes me feel so blessed. I was actually too delighted when you agreed to be my contractual mistress… I was scared that you would think of me as an irresponsible man, as I am desperate to get my divorce.…
