Capítulo 1 Era o dia do casamento da socialite Avery Tate, de Avonsville, mas não havia nenhum noivo à vista. O noivo, Elliot Foster, estava em estado vegetativo desde um acidente de carro há seis meses. Seus médicos disseram que ele não iria sobreviver até o final do ano. Em um ato de luto, a …

Chapter 440 She couldn‘t Stand It! Martha also saw the caller ID on Angela‘s mobile phone. She immediately smiled, “Look, he called you.” Angela blushed, “Mom…” She elongated the word shyly. Martha immediately chuckled, “Fine, answer the phone. I‘ll go out and leave you alone.” With that, Martha stood up with a smile and left. Angela took a deep breath when the door closed, and nervously picked up the phone. She had less and less contact with Jordy, and Jordy was no longer as patient with her as he used to be, and she didn‘t have the guts to be as willful as she once did. “Jordy? You are not working?” It was past four o‘clock in the afternoon, and he would get off work in more than one hour. “How‘s your recovery going?” Jordy‘s voice was as flat as ever. Angela slowly showed a smile, “I‘ve almost recovered. You don‘t have to worry about me.” She always replied like this, pretending to be sensible and refuse to make Jordy feel guilty. However, when they met, Jordy would have heartache seeing her trying to hold on. Angela had done that several times and got sympathy from him every time. In the past, Jordy would tell her to take care of herself or something like that, but this time, Jordy did not. He only asked, “Are you free tonight? Let‘s have dinner together.” Angela was ecstatic! This was the first time they had contacted since Jordy agreed to be engaged. Of course she was happy! How could she refuse? “Sure, where will we meet?” Angela was just asking. She knew that Jordy would come to pick her up every time. But… She was wrong. Jordy said directly, “I’ll send you an address. Be there at six pm. I‘ll see you there.” Angela‘s smile stiffened, but it was a good thing that he wanted to eat with her. She said with a smile, “Okay, I‘ll be there.” “All right.” After that, Jordy hung up directly. A moment later, he sent her the address. Angela kept persuading herself not to think too much and went to put on makeup immediately. She was going to see Jordy, so she must dress herself up carefully and look attractive enough! She believed that Jordy would fall in love with her completely as long as she did her best! Angela was thinking about the date with Jordy at home, and didn‘t know that the White Group was already in chaos. The senior management of the White Group held another meeting, but they did not tell Gloria to attend it. Anita looked pale and even a little flustered. “Mr. White, that‘s the whole story. I couldn‘t even cut in at that time…” If they hadn‘t been in a meeting, she would have told him about how Jonathan displayed his love for Gloria in detail… She really couldn‘t stand it. She was still single! She couldn‘t stand such lovey–dovey actions and words! Moreover, Mr. Brown was so excellent. Now, she only felt uncomfortable all over. S Anyway, Gloria was a divorced woman, but Mr. Brown regarded her as a treasure. She was so jealous of Gloria… Claude looked grave. So did the people …
Chapter 439 The Most Beautiful Bride in the World However, Jordy‘s heart was no longer quiet because of George‘s words. He was more and more irritated, so he took a deep breath and tried his best to control his emotions. But… Things were not as simple as he imagined. This afternoon, when he was dealing with his work, he was absent–minded again and again. W Bang! Jordy punched the table. The meeting room instantly fell silent! The employee who was reporting turned pale! His hand shook and the document in his hand fell on the table with a slap! Jordy was aroused. He was now in a meeting. The employee who was reporting almost cried. His legs trembled so violently that he could hardly balance himself. He almost fainted in the cold and gloomy atmosphere in the conference room. Jordy said coldly with a frown, “Go on.” The employee‘s eyelid twitched. Go on? Jordy wasn‘t satisfied with his statement, was he? He turned pale with fear and said gingerly, “That, that is all my report.” Jordy frowned deeply. After pausing for a moment, he continued, “Repeat it.” The person was confused. Could he not torture him alone? Other people were relieved. Fortunately, they were not the employee who was reporting. Harold fixed his eyes on Jordy and naturally knew why he had such a reaction. He paused for a moment and said to the employee, “Just report it again like what you did just now.” The implication was that Mr. Collins was absent–minded and he did nothing wrong. Jordy pursed his lips and kept silent with a cold face. The whole conference room even turned cold because of him. Many people unconsciously gathered their coats, but the conference room couldn‘t be very cold. Besides, it was not winter. However, people in the conference room still felt cold just like the day when Mr. Collins was in a bad mood. Many plans were rejected, and the whole Collins Group was filled with heavy and brooding silence. Many people could only stay and work overtime “willingly“, because Jordy asked them whose plans were rejected to present new satisfactory plans to him in three days! They were so helpless! Some of them planned to date their girlfriends, but they had to change the plan. Their girlfriends were so angry and even wanted a breakup! At this moment, a certain computer programmer was sitting in front of the computer, typing a string of codes on the keyboard while cursing inwardly! No wonder Mr. Collins is single! No wonder Miss White doesn‘t want him! He deserves it! Such a person should be single all …
Chapter 438 Will You Shut up Lovell bowed his head. When he saw the name on it, he froze. He immediately looked up at her and said, “You are Gloria White?” Gloria smiled, “Yes.” “The elite lawyer, Gloria White?” Lovell looked at Gloria with a more surprised look. So, he knew that Gloria did not lie. He did look like her father. “You come to me for the temporary project, right?” Lovell came straight to the point. Gloria smiled, “We can eat first and talk about the cooperation later.” Lovell didn‘t know what Gloria was up to. However, he pitied her for losing her father at such a young age. He nodded slightly, “OK, I‘ll call you after work, bye.” “OK, thank you.” Gloria looked grateful. When she looked at him, she was always in waves of trances. She did know how she restrained herself from mistaking him for her father. At this moment, she really missed her father. Gloria stared at Lovell‘s receding figure in a daze. She didn‘t know that her interactions with Lovell had been clearly seen by the person in the monitoring room. He saw her absent and yearning look. He watched her being in a trance and gradually fell into a trance. However, a sneer suddenly came behind him. “Are you not going to admit it? You regret it.” George‘s voice was obviously ironic. Jordy immediately came out of his trance and closed the monitoring window. “I just want to find out what she‘s up to.” Then he sneered. How could he regret it? Gloria always had her own purposes. Why would he regret it for such a person? He didn‘t regret it at all. George was speechless. He looked at Jordy wordlessly, “You‘ll regret it sooner or later. We have persuaded you so many times, but you just didn‘t listen. If you don‘t like her, you should ignore her. You keep saying that you want to repay Angela. Why don‘t you marry her as soon as possible?” Jordy frowned again, “We‘ll be engaged next month.” George sneered, “Come on, what‘s the use of that? Just hold the wedding.” Jordy gave him a cold look silently as if implying that his words were childish. Jordy didn‘t want to talk to him anymore, so he went out directly. Out of the elevator, he saw Gloria and Lovell walking side by side behind them. He frowned and felt terrible again. George, who was beside him, was amused. “Look, after the divorce, Gloria is living a happier life. It‘s good to her.” Jordy‘s aura suddenly turned cold. George was not afraid but said with a smile, “She is surrounded by handsome men every day, and they all like her. Moreover, her own career is developing vigorously. Don‘t you think her marriage with you was a waste of her youth?” Jordy frowned deeply. He looked at …
Chapter 437 This Is My Business Card Lovell looked stunned. She was right. If she was really good at playing slot machines, why would she need those coins? He looked at her, “What do you want if you win?” Gloria pondered for a moment and then said with a smile, “If I win, you will invite me to dinner, five times.” Lovell was confused. He looked at her with a puzzled face, “You want big meals?” Gloria smiled, “Yes, I haven‘t eaten. Are you free for dinner?” At this moment, Lovell had to face the young girl squarely. She was up to something. “Did you approach me with a purpose?” Gloria smiled, “I just want you to invite me to dinner. Are you afraid?” She knew that Lovell wasn‘t afraid of being prodded at all. As expected, his disdainful voice came to her ears. “Are you serious? Why would I be afraid?” Gloria said with a smile, “Good. If I lose, what do you want me to do?” Lovell narrowed his eyes, “If you lose, you will tell me your purpose.” Gloria smiled, “Deal.” It would be the most unwise move if she refused. Lovell knew she had a purpose from the beginning Moreover, pretending to be too simple would rouse more suspicions. She‘d better agree, so Lovell wouldn‘t hate her too much. Then they looked at the screen again. This time, they had their own bets. Lovell wanted to know her purpose, so he didn‘t say anything for fear that she would win under his guidance. However… After Gloria played five times, Lovell was shocked. He couldn‘t believe it. He looked at Gloria and said, “How on earth did you do that?” In fact, such games were tampered with secretly by their owners. It was impossible to win so many times in a row. But this gir… He looked at Gloria suspiciously, “How on earth did you do that?” “I can tell you if you want to know.” “Okay.” Lovell was interested. Gloria couldn‘t help laughing, “If you invite me to dinner, I‘ll tell you a part of it. We‘ll finish it in five times.” Lovell was speechless. This girl was so scheming! She was so cunning! Just like his little daughter. “Okay, when is the dinner tonight?” “We‘ll eat after you get off work?” Lovell was speechless. Although it was a normal time for dinner, he was sure that the girl must know what he did for a living Lovell looked at her and said calmly, “If you want me to do anything for you, you can tell me directly. You might not succeed even if you have five meals with me.” A sad look flashed across Gloria‘s eyes. She smiled, “I know, but I just like you. My father has passed away. You look like him.” …
Chapter 436 Bets Lovell didn‘t pay attention to Gloria who appeared beside him suddenly. He didn‘t even take a look at her. They were in an entertainment spot, and there were many people who liked to watch others plav games. Obviously, Lovell thought Gloria was one of those people. Gloria stood in front of him and kept silent, Lovell was in a good mood. However… he didn‘t win anything in the next eight rounds, and the coins he had were only enough to play for the last time. Looking at Lovell‘s sullen face, Gloria smiled, “Excuse me, do you want me to play for you? If I win, you will take the reward. If not, I will buy you coins and let you play ten times. Believe it or not. I will definitely win.” Gloria‘s confident and clear voice attracted Lovell‘s attention. He turned his head and found that it was a young girl. He was amused, “You are quite confident.” was a Nasami Gloria smiled, “Can I try?” Lovell took a step to the right and said smartly, “Come on, I guess I‘m out of luck today.” Gloria nodded with a smile, “Working with me is your wisest choice.” She was implying something. Lovell was amused, “Where is that coming from? It‘s just a game.” He looked at Gloria and felt that she was so naive. Otherwise, how could she be so confident and bold? Gloria stood in front of the slot machine and carefully looked at the screen. The smile on her lips had disappeared. Lovell squinted slightly. Seeing Gloria‘s serious look, he slightly changed his view of her. Gloria raised her hand and gently pressed one of the buttons, and then the pictures on the screen kept changing Lovell fixed his eyes on the screen and said, “Now press it!” Gloria did not listen to him but continued to stare at the screen. The corner of Lovell‘s mouth twitched. Right, he didn‘t believe this girl. It was normal if she didn‘t press it. If she missed that opportunity, she would lose the game. When he was about to look away, Gloria suddenly pressed the button. A prompt of win popped out of the screen instantly! Lovell widened his eyes and looked at the screen in front of him in disbelief. The reward was one hundred times the stake! “Oh my God!” Lovell could not help exclaiming. He glanced at the screen and found that all the coins he had lost had been recovered! Gloria straightened her back and turned to look at Lovell, “See? I didn‘t lie to you.” “You were just lucky!” Lovell said without thinking, “You couldn‘t win in that situation.” Gloria said with a smile, “Why don‘t we make a bet?” “On what?” Lovell seemed to be interested. Gloria thought for a while, and then said with a smile, “I‘ll play another three times. If I win every time, it will prove that it wasn‘t because of luck. What do you think?” Lovell frowned slightly, “No, five times.” She had won once, and it was almost impossible for her to win another five times unless she could cheat. …
Chapter 435 A Famous Old Fogey “No, I‘m not going back. I have other things to do.” The last partner hadn‘t approved her plan. She planned to go to him after noon. Sara, the deputy manager of their department, was really awesome. She could actually find so many tricky principals. Kristina liked the plan and it could help her son. So, she would agree. But another cooperation. Lovell Wilson. He was a famous old fogey. He was 50 years old this year, and was an executive in the company. Because of his famous good eye and numerous achievements, many companies scrambled to poach him. However, he wasn‘t tempted at all, but was only devoted to the Hansen Group. It would be good if he liked the plan, but if he didn‘t, Gloria would only be rejected unconditionally. ,However… Gloria‘s plan was the one that Lovell hated most. Even if she made some changes, the theme was still this project. Then… Lovell would still dislike it. However, Lovell was the only one who could approve this plan. She had to go to him. TeV “You are going to Lovell?” Jonathan looked at her. Gloria paused and turned to look at him, “What else do you know?” Jonathan smiled, “Don‘t worry, I have my work ethic. I don‘t know your plan.”. Gloria sized him up silently. He looked calm and natural. “I‘m leaving.” Jonathan didn‘t stop her again but just said calmly, “Where are you going? I‘ll take you there. I‘ll drive anyway.” Gloria paused and then said, “House for Octogenarians.” Jonathan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “Let‘s go.” The House for Octogenarians was an entertainment spot where the elderly liked to visit. Lovell had enjoyed staying there since his fifties. Many people didn‘t even think they were old when they were in their fifties. Along the way, they didn‘t say anything, as if they had chatted enough in the restaurant. When they arrived there, Gloria looked at Jonathan and said, “Thank you.” Jonathan raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at her with a smile, “It‘s my pleasure. I can be your driver at any time. What do you think?” The corner of Gloria‘s mouth twitched slightly, “Sorry, I can‘t afford to hire such a driver. Bye.” After that, she closed the car door and left Jonathan behind. Soon, she entered the House for Octogenarians. This was a huge place for recreation. She stepped in and saw some young people, most of whom came here with their elders. Gloria headed to the sixth floor according to Lovell‘s preference. Well… This was the area for playing slot machines. Slot machines. Obviously, they were already obsolete, but the House for Octogenarians was very large and had all recreational facilities. So… Lovell was here, playing slot machines. As soon as Gloria entered the hall, she saw Lovell in the crowd who was standing in front of the slot machine and pressing the red button in front of him with a frown. It seemed that he was in a bad mood for losing money. …
Chapter 434 A Double Bed Gloria was really helpless. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded, “OK, I‘ll go with you.” She was already in such a situation, and they would be partners for a long time and spend several months together. It was no big deal to eat with him. Jonathan smiled more and more brightly, “Let’s go and have a look. If you don’t like the food there, we can eat something else.” Gloria didn‘t say anything but headed outside with him. Jonathan took her to the restaurant and had the restaurant to themselves as always. He took care of her gentlemanly while eating with her. Gloria even wondered whether she was really dating this man. Otherwise, why did they always get along like this?. She knew that there might trending topics about them again. As long as she saw Jonathan, there. would be gossip. She seemed to have been used to such a life. Jonathan looked at her and guessed that she had something on her mind. He slightly raised his thick eyebrow, and then opened his mouth, “What are you thinking?” Light flickered in Gloria‘s eyes. Her attention was drawn back. She looked at Jonathan, “When will you give up wasting time on me?” Jonathan‘s dark eyes turned slightly like the boundless sea that regained calm after rippling. After a while, he said slowly, “How could it be a waste of time?” Gloria lowered her eyes and said nothing. Before long, she put down her chopsticks. She had finished eating. Jonathan frowned slightly, “You ate too little.” “I was not very hungry.” She told the truth. She never maltreated herself. Even if she was in a bad mood, she would eat. Jonathan also knew her character and didn‘t ask her to eat more. He glanced at the silver watch on his wrist. Gloria also looked at it and said, “You seem to love this watch very much.” e She had seen Jonathan many times, and naturally noticed many things. Although he often woré bright blue suits, he never wore the same one. His ties, bow ties, and shirts were of different styles. Obviously, he didn‘t like the sameness of clothes. But he wore this watch every time. Jonathan looked up at her and said with an expectant look, “Nobody buys a new watch for me. Maybe you can buy one for me?” Gloria said with a smile, “Sorry, I have no money.” She would only buy watches for the man she liked. She sent a watch to Jordy before, but he smashed it directly. Now, she naturally wouldn‘t send any watch to Jordy again. Jonathan might wear it, but they were not a couple. It was unnecessary. After lunch, Gloria planned to go back. She looked at Jonathan. Before she could speak, Jonathan had seen through her intention and said, “It‘s too early for work. You can go in and have a rest in the special lounge here.” With that, he got up, walked to the side door, and opened it. Gloria immediately saw a double bed in the clean and tidy room. She frowned slightly, “No, we don‘t have a very long lunch break. I‘m going back.” Jonathan sighed helplessly, “OK, I‘ll give you a ride.” Gloria stopped and turned to look at him.
Chapter 433 1 Won‘t Touch You Again No matter what Anita said, Jonathan just turned a deaf ear to it. He just wanted to date Gloria from the beginning Gloria also persuaded him several times but Anita could clearly see that Jonathan remained disapproving. She even felt that Jonathan was like a fatuous ruler who only wanted to work with Gloria, and didn‘t care whether the deal was profitable or not. In the end, Anita gave up, and then it was the lunch break. Gloria picked up her purse and intended to leave, but Jonathan grabbed her wrist quickly. “I said I would take you to lunch. Where are you going?” “I need to…” Before she could finish speaking, Anita was no longer in the mood to stay with them. She immediately interrupted Gloria, “Well, I have something else to do. I got to go. Bye.” Jonathan was quite satisfied, and even spoke to Anita with a nicer attitude, “Bye.” Anita was speechless. This seemed to be the first time that he had looked at her in the eye, because for him, she finally did *the right thing Anita nodded with a stiff smile and turned around. Then her smile disappeared instantly, and she strode away. At this moment, she was no longer dumbfounded and felt like she was a bigwig, but only felt that she was an annoying third wheel. vas an a Gloria immediately retracted her arm, looked at Jonathan who had a smile on his lips, and said helplessly, “You did this on purpose.” “Yes.” Jonathan‘s smile widened. Gloria was speechless. Jonathan stared at her and said with a gentle look, “Because I think if I don‘t take the initiative to ask you out anymore, I will lose you.” Gloria didn‘t know what to say. She looked at Jonathan with a puzzled look. What was he up to? Jonathan looked at her affectionately, “You went on business with him before. Last night, he went to see you again. If I don‘t take the initiative to approach you, you‘ll always distance yourself from me, won‘t you?” His voice was soft and assertive. Gloria didn‘t hate it but felt being trapped subconsciously. She took a light breath and then took a step back. He actually knew that Jordy went to see her last night. At this moment, the tenderness all over him and his serious look made her feel sick. If he had been pretending since the beginning to use her, then he was really good at playacting. She almost believed it. No, she really believed that Jonathan was in love with her, but her reason was telling her that * Jonathan couldn‘t be in love with a divorced woman. Gloria looked away She said calmly, “Mr…” “What do you call me?” Jonathan was obviously more active than just now and wrapped his arm around her waist. Gloria was startled and quickly stepped back. Looking into his deep eyes, Gloria blushed more. She quickly said, “Jonathan Brown! Snap out of it!” Light flickered in Jonathan’s eyes. He did not speak, In the end, he sighed, “It‘s good. At least you don‘t call me Mr. Brown anymore.” Gloria was speechless. She didn‘t want to say anything else but Jonathan grabbed her hand tightly, “Let‘s go to lunch!” Gloria struggled with a sullen look, but Jonathan looked at her with a smile in his eyes and said softly, “Go to lunch with me, and I won‘t touch you again.”
Chapter 432 What Should I Do? Anita was speechless. After hearing his voice, she guessed she shouldn‘t be here. And Jonathan only looked at Gloria. Anita was smart. Even if Jonathan didn‘t give her any pressure, she felt like she was going to suffocate. Before she came here, she was confident that she could face Jonathan calmly, but after she saw him, her legs trembled with flusters, Gloria nodded, walked forward and sat opposite Jonathan. Anita was speechless. They behaved so naturally in front of each other.. She could only go to the position beside Gloria awkwardly and sit down. She said respectfully to Jonathan, “Mr. Brown, good morning.” Jonathan just glanced at her and then nodded. * Then, he rested his eyes on Gloria and said, “What would you like to eat at noon? Let‘s eat together?” Gloria was speechless. So was Anita. Mr. Brown completely ignored her! Didn‘t he think she was like a third wheel here? Gloria smiled, “Put that aside. Let‘s talk about business.” Jonathan raised an eyebrow and then looked at Anita, “If it isn‘t Gloria who will work with me, there will be no deal.” Gloria smiled, “I’m inexperienced. You can consider working with others.” Claude said that she needed to persuade Jonathan. IS This was her task. Jonathan smiled, “But I just want you. What should I do?” Gloria was speechless. So was Anita. Was she really here to negotiate? Damn it! However, she must complete the task given by the company. She had no other choices. When she was in the conference room, she thought this thing might be tricky. Now she thought she was wrong. She was just here to be the errand boy. Anita took a light breath, looked at Jonathan and said, “Mr. Brown, I know that you are close to Miss White and appreciate her very much. But this deal is really important. Why don‘t you reconsider it carefully?” “No.” Jonathan was resolute, and rested his eyes on Gloria, “The restaurants we went to were quite ordinary. I found a new one which has authentic food. What about trying it at noon?” Gloria looked more sullen, “Mr. Brown, can we get down to business?” Jonathan frowned, “I said, call me Jonathan.” Gloria was speechless. He did it on purpose! Anita opened her mouth, but could not bring out any word. She couldn‘t hold on anymore. How could she negotiate with him if they kept doing this? She increasingly felt that she shouldn‘t be here! She should leave! Right now! Anita took another deep breath, calmed herself down, and gave Jonathan a standard smile. “Mr. Brown, I think…” Before she could finish speaking, Jonathan directly interrupted her, “Enough, it‘s non–negotiable.” Anita was speechless. Then Jonathan looked at Gloria again. Gloria closed her eyes for a moment, “Don‘t talk about anything other than work!” Jonathan frowned slightly, and then looked at Anita. Although he didn‘t say anything, Anita should have received the message. How much longer are you going to stay here? The smile on Anita‘s face stiffened. At this moment, she could not bring out any word, but she had taken the task given by their boss. So, she had to pluck her courage to persuade Jonathan.
