"Secretary are you alright?""I'm alright!" Steven answered. The driver was tall and strong. He was relieved to hear that the secretary was okay, but he didn't intend to let go of Jeremy. He reached out and was ready to grab the person who pushed Steven. Steven stopped him at once when he recognized the attacker.But Jeremy didn't appreciate it. He was in a hood mood today. After winning the bid, he took out all the subordinate to a restaurant to have a feast and only realized towards the end that Barbara was not present. David told him that Barbara was not feeling well and went home early.Jeremy felt like something was missing in his heart. So he asked David to take everyone to the club and drove Barbara home himself.When he arrived, he happened to see Steven's car driving into the hall. He was astounded when he saw Steven.What was he doing here? Jeremy didn't drive the car in. He walked into the hall and saw Steven talking with Barbara. All he could hear were words like "apologies
Jeremy proudly waved the phone in his hand. "Steven is the future father-in-law of Dexter. I had been worrying that I don't have leverage against Steven. Who would know that he would deliver himself to me? I recorded everything he said to you before. Now I'm waiting to see him yielding to me" "Jeremy, how can you be so despicable?" Barbara was so angry that she wanted to slap him in the face. Anyone who thought Jeremy was just a playboy certainly underestimated his ability to take advantage of people. "You're protecting him?" Jeremy was a little annoyed. " He is old enough to be your dad. And he is married. What's so good about him?" "We're not the kind of relationship you've imagined us to have" "It's not that kind of relationship? Then what is it?" Jeremy asked. "It's a long story. I will tell you in the future" "No, I will report him tomorrow if you don't tell me now" Jeremy was not vague about his intentions. His heart was burning with fury when he saw how Barbara was defendi
Deborah and Emily waited until 9pm when Steven came back. As usual, Deborah immediately prepared slippers and tea for him. Emily was not as patient as her mother, "Dad, what's the matter with the bidding?" "What do you mean?" Steven's was about to drink the tea, but he put down the cup in his hand when he heard Emily talking. "Emily is worried, isn't she? You know, Dexter has been preparing for this for a long time and Raina has been calling Emily for an explanation. Emily doesn't know how to answer it" Deborah said. Steven sneered and said, "Why did Raina ask you for an explanation? The decision was made by the municipal party committee. What would you know the reason?" Steven somehow felt irritated when he heard Raina name. His harsh words made Emily speechless. Deborah jumped in to explain, "She must think that you will know more with your position .." "The bidding is carried out in a fair and just manner. Officials will provide her answers if she brings her questions to the C
Emily sat alone in the room and cried silently after being scolded by Steven. Deborah opened the door to send her a midnight snack. Aggrieved, Emily said, "Mom! Why is dad so biased? He only cares about Barbara. Why won't he think about me? Hoe can I face Dexter and Aunt Raina?" "You're so useless!" Deborah glared at her, "You can't stand such a little grievance? Do you remember anything I taught you?" "I just feel sad. How can dad do this?" "Emily, those who achieve great things don't care about trifles. If you can't even put up with such a little grievance, I don't think you should marry into the Lorenzo family at all" Deborah used even stringer language. "Mom, even you are saying this to me now?" "Is the Lorenzo family an ordinary family to me now? Us Aunt Raina an ordinary woman? Did you see how she tortured Barbara back in the days? Who is harsher? Raina or your Dad?" "I...." Emily was at a loss for words. Comparing with Raina, Steven was not in the same league. "Emily, I'v
Raina never expected Barbara to visit a luxurious restaurant like this, do she couldn't help but give her an extra look. Barbara had practically nothing to her name when she left Dexter Lorenzo back then. She even took back the wedding ring that she had given to Dexter and it wasn't long before the ring turned up in a pawn shop. On e could easily imagine how downtrodden she was to go after the mete few hundred dollars that the ring could fetch.Raina was previously involved in a car accident with Barbara and had seen how shabby and old fashioned Barbara's clothes were. She could tell that Barbara was obviously having a rough time and had looked upon her with great disdain."Weren't you so arrogant back then? Did you finally learn how tough the world could be after leaving the Lorenzo's family?"In Raina's mind, Barbara was now the embodiment of destitution, and this, so she was rather taken aback by Barbara's current appearance.Barbara seemed completely different from before. Althoug
Dexter had doted on Barbara dearly in the past and Raina was inevitably thrilled when she noticed that he had become so cold towards her now. "My son could finally let go of the past! I'd soon be free from this too", she thought. Her voice cracked up with excitement as she replied. "Up to you. We could eat whatever you want"Jeremy Black did not sleep well that night. He couldn't stop himself from feeling depressed over the fact that Barbara had been cheated on and was a divorcee. He had never been a gossipmonger, but was very curious about the identity of Barbara's unfaithful partner.For the whole morning, Jeremy had held back from probing about the Identity of Barbara's ex husband out of consideration of how personal the question was. As the Black family was also very particular about upholding silence during meal times, Jeremy also formed the habit of eating in silence.Eventually, he couldn't contain his curiosity any longer and burst out, "Barbara, I'm very curious about the ide
Tbr first episode of the blind date reality show was aired on the TV and well received by the audience, achieving up to seven points in the audience's ratings on just the first day of the broadcast. Social media platforms were flooded with discussions about the program the next day. Thanks to the efforts by the TV stations strong public relations team and the reposting of the programs by big shot celebrities. The topic aired on Twitter several times and ssoon became the talk of the town. As Deborah Jones had nothing to do at home, she watched the replay of the blind date reality show and was soon hooked by the program. While she was engrossed in the show, Emily came downstairs and sat down beside her before she whined, "Mom, I'm so bored" "Find someone to go shopping with you" Deborah suggested and her eyes remained glued to the TV. "That's boring. There are only that many places in San Francisco and I've already shopped in all of them" "Why don't you go to spa then?" "Mom!
Jeremy turned around with a grim face without saying a word and stomped off the shabby stairs of the tube shaped apartment building. He ran downstairs, turned around and went upstairs again. Then he knocked on tbe door one more time. "what blind date program is she participating in!" Thomas told him the name of the show. Jeremy went downstairs again with a dark face. He cursed indignantly on his way back. "What a heartless woman! How dare you play these tricks behind my back! Wait and see how I will punish you when you come back!" He still felt angry after that abd called David, "Do you know the blind date reality show the TV station in San Francisco is working on?" "Why are you asking?" David was as busy as a bee everyday. How could he have time to pay attention to TV shows? "What do I need you for? You don't even know about a reality show!" Jeremy swore and hung up the phone. David felt so aggrieved. Mr Black was being ridiculous and unreasonable. But he had to put up with him
