Chapter 91
Let’s Watch the Sunrise Together
Martin stayed up all night and sent messages to Paige at six in the morning.
“Didn’t I let you hug me every day?” Paige’s slender fingers tapped on the screen.
“Sleep well. We will meet again in a while,” Paige replied patiently.
Unexpectedly, Martin called Paige a few seconds after she sent the message.
“Paige.
“Why did you wake up so early? Did you have a nightmare?” Martin asked in a charming voice. “You haven’t slept yet?” Paige did not know whether her childhood experience was a nightmare.
“Yes. I can’t sleep.”
“I miss you so much,” Martin said in a particularly seductive voice.
Martin recalled the time he spent with Paige many times. He missed Paige so much that he couldn’t sleep.
“Are you still sleepy?”
“Let’s go and watch the sunrise together.”
Martin wanted to see Paige. After getting permission, he quickly went out.
After Paige washed up and changed her clothes, Martin’s car arrived at the door of her house.
Just as Paige walked out of the door, Martin held her in his arms.
Smelling Paige’s elegant fragrance, Martin finally stopped missing her.
“I miss you so much.”
Martin looked down and saw the on Paige’s fair neck. He couldn’t help but hold this face that was on his mind day and night in both hands and put on a doting smile. “Good morning.” “Good morning.”
‘Let’s go to Star Restaurant to watch the sunrise and have breakfast.”
“Okay.”
“You look so good when you just woke up.”
Martin rubbed Paige’s face and smiled even more indulgently.
Paige didn’t say anything
On the balcony, Patricia thought that her eyes deceived her at first.
Patricia took out a pair of binoculars. She was shocked after she confirmed it!
It really was Martin!
Martin personally drove to pick up Paige!
Not only did Martin open the car door for Paige, but he also protected her head when she got in the car. After she was in the car, he bent down to fasten her seat belt and gave her a lingering morning kiss!
Patricia could not believe her eyes. Martin and Paige were together until 11 last night. It was not even 7 in the morning. They were together so soon!
Watching their car drive away, Patricia was boiling with rage. She wished she could tear Paige apart and angrily went to Amily.
Star Restaurant was located at the top of the mountain, and it was the best place to watch the sunrise.
When Martin and Paige arrived, the sun had risen. The light shone on them already. It was as beautiful as a painting.
“We are a little late.”
Martin bent his arm around Paige’s shoulder and said, “Let’s come early next time.
“Okay.
“But this is also pretty good.” Paige looked at the scenery in front of her.
In the past, Paige did not have the time to appreciate the landscape of nature. She was satisfied with what she saw now.
When Martin saw the sunlight fall on Paige’s fair face, he said, “Yes, it’s pretty good.”
Martin couldn’t help but kiss Paige.
When Jaydan saw Martin and Paige kissing under the sunlight, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
What was going on?!
The last time Martin and Paige came, they just held hands. Now they kissed each other?
It was too fast!!
After the long kiss, Martin looked into Paige’s eyes and gently said, ‘Tell me everything afterward. Whether it is happy or sad, 1 will be your first listener.” Paige raised her eyes and looked at Martin’s sincere expression.
‘Don’t take everything on your own, okay?”
Paige had never shared what she thought with anyone, no matter whether it was good or bad. She didn’t even tell Anna and the others in detail.
Seeing Martin’s serious and concerned look, Paige nodded.
Paige would try to do that.
Martin touched Paige’s face and smiled lovingly. “Let’s go and have breakfast.”
After breakfast, Paige went to work. She found some clues from the statements.
Paige’s slender fingers tapped on the table, thinking about how many things Nigel had hidden from her.
“Ms. Tate, Mariela wants to meet you!”
Deon said outside the door.
‘Come in.”
When Mariela came in, there were tears in her eyes.
“Morning, Ms. Tate. This is the autumn design I recently finished.”
Mariela respectfully presented the design drafts to Paige with a smile.
However, it was obvious that her smile was somewhat forced and there was even a trace of sadness.
“Mr. Gardner asked me to show the drafts to you. He said that you are the best designer…”
“Did you cry?” Paige looked at Mariela’s red eyes.
Mariela shook her head. However, the feelings that she had tried hard to contain were so overwhelming that she sobbed in a low voice.
‘Sit and calm yourself down.”
Paige did not force Mariela. Instead, she handed Mariela a tissue and waited for her to calm down.
Tears rolled down Mariela’s cheeks. She wanted to hold back her tears several times, but she failed due to the overwhelming emotions.
Outside the door, Deon did not know what was going on. He was confused and shook his head at Paige.
Deon took out his phone and sent a message to Paige on Line.
“I also don’t know what happened to Mariela. Do you want me to ask about it?”
Paige faintly replied, “No need.”
When Mariela finally stopped crying, Paige poured her a glass of water and placed it in front of her.
“Ms. Tate…” Mariela did not expect that Paige would personally pour her water. Paige, who was not related to her by blood, was so good to her. When she thought of her family, she couldn’t help but feel sad again.
“Was it about work?” Paige looked at Mariela and asked lightly.
Mariela shook her head.
‘Family affairs?”
Mariela nodded.
Paige finally understood that only the family could hurt one so deeply.
“I… I… Mariela bore it for a while before saying, “Today is my father’s death anniversary… But… But they went too far. They dumped trash on my father’s grave… If I hadn’t gone there, I wouldn’t have known that my father had suffered such humiliation.”
Mariela could not help but cry again. She did not want to bring personal affairs and feelings to work, but when she thought of her father’s grave, she felt angry and wronged!
“I haven’t told my mother about this…” Before Mariela finished speaking, she burst into tears again, choking with and unable to speak.
Paige waited for Mariela to stop crying before asking, “Was it done by your relatives?”
“Yes!!”
Mariela thought of those heartless relatives and cried bitterly.
‘You know what, my family also runs a clothing company… Mariela wiped her tears and said, “The company was founded by my grandfather. After he died, my father was in charge of it. But a few years ago, he suddenly died in a car accident…”
Chapter 92
Mariela choked and continued, “My uncle, Emesto Robins, said that my mother and I didn’t know how to run the company, so he took away the management. He even tried to take our assets from us. Finally, he kicked us out of the house.”
Manela sobbed, “My mother had some houses before, but now they are all gone…”
“No one to speak up for you?”
Paige asked softly.
“Before that, my grandfather was in charge of the company. After Grandpa passed away, Grandma also passed away shortly after. Originally, my father was in charge of the company, but after my father left, everyone decided to follow Ernesto’s lead”
No one stood up to speak for them.
There were some relatives who advised them to be more open-minded and to show the white feather. After all, under the protection of the Robins family, they would not be short of food and clothing.
If Mariela tried to go against the Robins family, she knew she would definitely end up very miserable.
“But I just don’t I want to show the white feather. They have gone too far.”
Emesto and his wife bullied them every day. Later, even Mariela’s cousins dared to be rude to her and Evelyn. When Mariela and Evelyn later moved to a rented apartment, her cousins would still pick on them from time to time.
To Ernesto and his family, making fun of Mariela and her father was interesting
“It was definitely done by my cousin!”
Mariela was furious. “It was the same last year. My cousin brought some bodyguards and kicked down my father’s offerings. She even dumped a lot of trash there and said a lot of disrespectful things. My mother was angry and argued with her. Finally, she was Injured by the bodyguards. Oh, no…”
‘It was also about this time last year… Ms. Tate, can I make a call?” Mariela seemed to think of something.
Paige guessed something and looked up. “Of course.”
Mariela hurriedly took out her phone and dialed Evelyn’s number. But no one answered.
Mariela was flustered and had a bad feeling.
At this moment, Deon knocked on the door. ‘Ms. Tate, there is a lingerie company whose sales have been booming recently. They want us to help them with the processing. Their current production line can’t produce so many goods… The price is quite tempting. Their manager wants to ask you to meet at Warren Café about an hour later…”
Mariela called two more times, but still, no one answered. She was very anxious. “Ms. Tate, can I take a leave? I want to go to Mount Rally to take a look…”
John’s grave was at the top of Mount Rally.
Warren Cafe was actually only ten minutes away from there.
“I can give you a ride.”
Paige looked at Deon. “Go and prepare the car.”
Martin had been picking her up and dropping her off, so she was not driving her own car, but she still had two spare cars in the company garage.
After they left, a hand picked up the design drafts on the desk…
Along the way, Mariela kept calling Evelyn. She was very anxious.
When they finally reached the top of Mount Rally, far away, Mariela saw a group of people surrounding Evelyn. Her cousin Jessie was also there.
Jessie said deliberately, “Evelyn, John has been dead for years. You are really pathetic. Fortunately, I found a way for you. My bodyguard is about the same age as John. Why don’t you get together with him? You can have John as a witness to you and him at the grave…”
The girl who spoke was about seven or eight years old. She was wearing an expensive dress and shiny accessories. A diamond headband pulled her blonde bangs to the back of her head. Her long, wavy hair cascaded down her back. She was youthful and energetic, looking beautiful and noble.
Jessie! Are you serious? John was really good to your family when he was alive! Don’t you think you’ve gone too far? Do you still have a conscience?”
Although Evelyn was angry, she knew better than anyone that she was at a disadvantage. Jessie actually had brought so many bodyguards.
“I almost forgot about it. John was deeply loved by Grandpa. At that time, your family always suppressed us. But now, things have changed…”
When Jessie said this, she looked at Pascal. “Pascal, what are you still standing there for? Take good care of Evelyn so that John can see that his wife has someone to take care of her. I believe he will be happy.”
The bodyguard named Pascal was short and burly, about forty years old, and his eyes were full of greed and lust.
Evelyn lived a comfortable life for half her life. She was aging well, and she had the temperament of a noblewoman. Even though she moved to a rented apartment, her noble elegance was not reduced at all. Although her clothes were out of fashion, she was still attractive, which excited Pascal a lot.
“Pascal is a little poor. Although he can’t be compared with John, he’s a good match for you now.”
Jessie watched as Pascal walked towards Evelyn step by step. She raised a smile as if she was watching a good show, “Evelyn, enjoy yourself. Pascal will make you comfortable.”
Evelyn pointed at the tombstone and said, “Today, if he dares to touch me, I will kill myself right here! How will you explain this to the Robins family? How will you explain to your ancestors?”
Hearing this, Jessie chuckled, “John has been dead for so long, and you still want to keep your integrity? My ancestors have been lying in the coffin for so long! They can’t help you! Besides, who dares to speak up for you and your daughter?”
I…
At this time, Mariela suddenly rushed in front of Jessie. She raised her hand to slap Jessie, however, Mariela was stopped by the bodyguards. She was pushed to the ground.
Mariela fell, and her elbow was bleeding.
“Mariela, why are you here?
“Go quickly,” said Evelyn.
Mariela glared at Jessie in front of her angrily. “Do you have in your mouth? It really stinks. Why do you say these things? Why don’t these lackeys around you use a brush to brush your teeth?”
“Mariela!”
When Jessie saw Mariela, she was angry and laughed, “You came at the right time. Xavier, didn’t you take a fancy to her for a long time? Today, you and Pascal will take good care of them.” “How dare you!” Mariela was furious.
“So what? Can John crawl out of the ground to protect you and your mother?”
“Do it.” Jessie raised her eyebrows proudly.
Pascal was the first to go over and wanted to tear off Evelyn’s clothes. Evelyn screamed out of fear.
“Let go of my mother!”
Mariela wanted to save Evelyn, but she was held back by Xavier and dragged to the grass around her. “let go of me!”
Suddenly, a slender hand grabbed Xavier’s arm. Before Xavier could react, he was kicked into the grass.
Chapter 93
Kneel
Mariela was still in shock. She thought, it’s Ms. Tate!
Paige’s wrestling skills were actually so good!
Paige pulled Mariela up with a poker face. “Are you afright?”
Mariela shook her head, and her tears came out. Fortunately, Paige helped her….
Deon picked up a stone and smashed it on Pascal’s back. Pascal felt a sharp pain. He looked back and saw a gentleman in a suit. Hi looked young, not like someone who would fight. Jessie came back to her senses and saw the two people in front of her. She was a little surprised. “Oh. Are they your bodyguards?”
Jessie saw Deon and Paige.
“She looks pretty good.”
Jessie looked at Paige’s beautiful face and said to the bodyguard beside her, “Have you taken a fancy to her? Feel free to enjoy it As for this man… Just beat him to death.”
“You guys hurry up and leave…” Mariela was frightened, “Don’t worry about us. Just leave this place…”
Those people were crazy and could do anything!
Although Paige was good at fighting, she couldn’t beat so many people…
Paige didn’t think much of it. Her face was still proud and cold.
She protected Mariela behind her and casually asked Jessie in front of her, “Did you dump the garbage here in the morning?”
‘So what?”
Jessie crossed her hands in front of her chest, rolling her eyes. “I was also the one who asked people to splash the paint just now. Do you want to stand up for Mariela? Who do you think you are?” “Don’t worry about us…” Mariela pulled the corner of Paige’s clothes and whispered, “You guys go quickly! There are too many of them…
Clank.
A crisp slap sounded in everyone’s ears.
Before anyone could react, another slap hit Jessie in the face.
Paige’s movements were fast and accurate. In less than a second, she had already slapped Jessie’s face twice.
“How dare you slap me!”
“Didn’t Mariela tell you who I am?” Jessie couldn’t believe it. She thought, has this woman gone crazy?
“Oh, she just said you were a slot.”
Deon smiled and found it funny.
“The two slaps were for Mariela and her mother… Now, this one is for her dead father. Do you know how to treat people with respect?” Paige slapped Jessie for the third time.
“! What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and kill this idiot!”
As soon as Jessie finished speaking, seven or eight bodyguards rushed up and surrounded Paige.
She had never seen such a scene before. She was so scared that she stood in front of Paige and said, “This has nothing to do with her. Just come at me.
“Ms. Paige, you go quickly. I will solve this. Although Deon was afraid, he still bravely protected Paige and whispered to her, “Can you drive? If you can’t run down the mountain! I will stall them!” “None of you will be able to escape today!”
Jessie pointed at Paige in anger, gritted her teeth, and said, “Keep this woman alive! I want to slowly torture her.
The bodyguards attacked Paige one after another.
However, Paige either easily avoided the attacks, or easily kicked them away. She handled them with ease.
Jessie saw her bodyguards fall one by one. In the end, no one stood up. All of them covered their stomachs and held their heads as they screamed on the ground…
Jessie looked at Paige in disbelief. “You bunch of losers! You can’t even beat a teenage girl! Hurry up and stand up!”
The bodyguards were really in so much pain that they couldn’t stand up.
Jessie watched as Paige approached her step by step. Jessie became timid and unconsciously retreated.
“Hear me out, I am the daughter of the Robins family…”
“Isn’t Mariela the daughter of the Robins family?”
Paige raised her eyebrows. “Who do you think you are?”
“Mariela is just an outcast! Listen, if you help me deal with her, I can let bygones be bygones… I can even give you anything!”
Deon almost laughed out loud. Paige’s fiancé was Martin! She didn’t need any favors from Jessie. Martin would give her everything she wanted.
“Mari, how do you plan to resolve this matter?”
Paige’s eyes fell on Mariela.
Jessie spoke rudely to Mariela’s deceased father, John, and tried to let people rape her and Evelyn….
Mariela was so angry that she rushed over and slapped Jessie in the face several times.
If not for Paige, she and Evelyn would have been raped today!
“Mariela, how dare you slap me?”
“I’m going to slap you so hard!”
Mariela slapped Jessie two more times, her hands burning with pain.
“In the morning, you asked someone to dump trash on my father’s grave. I endured it! Now you ask someone to splash oil paint on my father’s gravel And you want your people to rape us! You vicious woman! Kneel down and apologize to my father!”
“No way!”
Mariela forcefully pulled Jessie and pressed her, but Jessie refused to lower her head, not even willing to kneel.
“Jessie, don’t you feel guilty at all?
Mariela asked loudly.
“Guilty? What do I feel guilty about? All the good things were taken by your family back then! What you feel now is just how we felt at that time!”
“Did my father not treat you and your family fairly when he was alive? Even though he was the head of the company, he never deducted a single penny from your family! He gave you money to invest and buy stores, and even gave your family as many stores, houses, and cars that Grandpa left us when he died, as you wanted.”
“How much are these things worth? Who doesn’t know that the company is a cash cow? He only gave us these worthless things! Do you really think he did the right thing?”
Mariela thought Jessie was being stubborn and didn’t want to talk to her anymore.” Are you going to kneel down or not?”
“I won’t kneel. What can you do about it?”
Paige raised her foot and kicked Jessie, and Jessie suddenly knelt down.
“You…” Jessie gnashed her teeth in anger and glared at Paige. “Remember this!”
“Oh, I’m sorry. You’re ugly. I can’t remember your face.”
“Apologize to my father!”
Mariela pressed the back of Jessie’s head and insisted that she apologize. Jessie refused to apologize, so Mariela pulled her hair and forced her to apologize. They were about to fight. “Ms. Tate, should we take care of it?”
Deon saw that neither of them got the run upon and could not help but ask anxiously.
Chapter 94
You Should Live Somewhere Else
“Even their mom doesn’t care about it.
Paige leaned against the tree and said leisurely, “Let them deal with it by themselves.”
Deon felt strange and he wondered, why did Paige kick Jessie just now? Paige might think Manela would win, so she was standing here leisurely to watch the good show
Evelyn knew that Mariela had to vent her anger by herself. Otherwise, Mariela would suffocate herself if she endured for too long.
Jessie was used to living under wonderful conditions. She was so delicate and weak. Unlike Mariela, who had been working for a few years, was able to carry the water buckets. Soon, Mariela gained the upper hand. Manela rode on Jessie and beat her up. Mariela said, “If you don’t kneel today, I will beat you until you kneel! Do you kneel or not?”
“Don’t hit me. Stop.’ Jessie covered her pig-like face. Her little dress had been torn, so part of her body was exposed Jessie covered her body hurriedly and said, “Mariela, stop, please.” Mariela saw that Jessie was afraid, so she stopped beating.
Finally, Jessie held her dress tight and knelt on the ground miserably. Under Manela’s gaze, Jessie bent down. Although Jessie’s forehead did not touch the ground, she showed respect to John. “Mari, can I go now?”
“You haven’t said why you were wrong!”
Although Jessie was not convinced in her heart, she knew that she was no match for them alone. Jessie said something against her will, “I should not have thrown trash at John’s grave. And I should not have brought people to bully you. Mari, you’ve already beaten me up. Let me go see a doctor. My whole body hurts.”
When Jessie returned home, she would definitely tell her parents to teach Mariela a lesson.
“You haven’t apologized to my mom yet. My mom is an elder and she is your aunt. It’s fine if you bullied me, but you brought people to bully and humiliate my mom!”
Mariela was angry.
“I’m sorry, Evelyn. I apologize.”
Evelyn knew that Jessie’s apology was not sincere. Evelyn turned her face away and did not respond.
“8off!” Mariela did not want to see Jessie again.
Jessie ran away with her dress. The seven or eight bodyguards who were on the ground followed Jessie. Before leaving, Pascal and Xavier were kicked by Mariela. “Great You’ve improved.”
Paige praised Mariela with a smile, “You’re no longer a weak person who will be easily controlled by others.”
“Ms. Tate, thank you. It’s good to have you here today. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Mariela lifted Evelyn up. Mariela said, “Come, let me introduce you. This is my mom, Evelyn Combest. Mom, this is my boss, Ms. Tate. And this is Mr. Hampson.”
‘Thank you for today.” Evelyn bowed deeply and thanked them for their help..
“Your injury…” Paige saw that there was still a wound on Evelyn’s elbow.
Evelyn covered the wound and said, “Oh, it’s not a big problem. I accidentally got injured just now.”
“Mom, does it hurt?”
Manela felt sorry and looked at Evelyn Mariela said. “You’re bleeding so much. Shall I send you to the hospital.
I want to clean the tombstone “Evelyn fixed her eyes on the tombstone. The red paint was very obvious. The grass in the open space and the place which was in front of the tombstone were all covered by pain
It should not be wiped off. Let’s change a new tombstone for Dad Jessie should go home and tell her parents what had happened if we don’t leave, I am afraid we will be in danger.”
Manela knew Jessie so well. Jessie had never been beaten since she was a child. Today, she was humiliated, so she would definitely come for revenge.
“Let me take you to the hospital first.”
Paige found that not only Evelyn was injured, but Mariela was also injured.
“No need. We have medicine at home. Go back home and deal with the wound.
Evelyn never liked to bother others. She said to Paige politely and kindly. “We will go back home by bus later.”
Paige knew that they wanted to save money, so she said in a soft voice, “We have nothing to do. I’ll give you a nde. Mari, where do you live?”
“Ah? We rented a house in Blossom Hills.
Blossom Hills was an old complex. There were many small houses ranging from 300 to 400 square inches.
“Deon, let’s go to Blossom Hills.
“OK.”
The car was parked at the gate of Blossom Hills. Evelyn wanted to invite them to her house and have a cup of tea.
Deon looked at the time and nodded to Paige. It meant that Paige still had enough time.
“My house is small. Don’t mind…’ Evelyn held Paige and said nicely, “Dean and you have helped us so much. We don’t have much to thank you for. How about coming with us and having some hot tea?” “Yes, Ms. Tate. Welcome to our house. Let’s go up together! And Deon, you should come too.”
Deon heard that Mariela also invited him and he looked at Paige expectantly. Paige nodded and followed them upstairs.
“You have become the boss of the company at such a young age. You are really young and promising.”
“Mom, Ms. Tate is very awesome. She has great talents in design! She usually gives many suggestions on the rough draft, and the final design will become amazing!” “Really? Then you have to learn from Ms. Tate!
“Just call me Paige.”
When Deon entered their house, he found that their house was pitifully small. And the living room was very tiny.
There were two low-grade rooms on the left. The toilet was in the middle of the house. A small kitchen was on the right, and there was a small dining table. This was Evelyn and Mariela’s house.
Although the house was small, it was clean and looked very warm.
“We can only afford to rent a small house like this now,” Evelyn said with a smile. As soon as Paige and Deon entered the house, Evelyn prepared the slippers and tea for them. “Evelyn, don’t be busy.”
Paige asked Mariela to take out the medicine box first. It was more important to treat the wound.
Evelyn served two cups of hot tea quickly.
“Evelyn, let me take a look at your wound.”
Paige saw that one of Evelyn’s elbows had fallen to the ground. The flesh rubbed against the ground and there was sand in the wound.
Paige helped Evelyn to treat the wound carefully. Evelyn was surprised and asked, “How do you know binding up the wound?”
The skill of bandaging looked very good. Paige was no worse than a professional nurse.
Paige said in a soft voice, “I have seen similar skills on the Internet. I just learned from it.”
Evelyn knew that Paige was being modest. She had a better impression of Paige.
Mariela was disinfecting and applying medicine to her elbow. When the cotton swab touched Mariela’s wound, she frowned in pain.
“Let me do it.”
Deon took the cotton swab and helped Mariela treat the wound gently. Deon said, “Tell me if it hurts.”
“OK.” Mariela looked at Deon when he was applying for the medicine seriously. Mariela said gratefully, “Thank you!”
After treating the wound, Paige put the stuff back in its original position. Paige said, “I don’t think Jessie is a good person. You should live somewhere else.”
Mariela thought about this problem a long time ago. And she said, “But there is no more house which is cheaper than here.”
Chapter 95
“I have a friend who went abroad and asked me to rent out the house for her.
Paige said carelessly. “The price is not a problem. The most important point is the renter would cherish the house as much as my friend does.
“We will cherish the house!
Manela said hurriedly. She seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
“How much do you pay here for a month?”
“560 dollars.”
“Then the rent for my friend’s house is the same. It’s 560 dollars.”
Paige said softly. “My friend’s house is also near here. It is more convenient to go to work and get off work.”
“Ms. Tate, we have seen the houses around here. Other than here, there are no other houses with two rooms that cost 560 dollars.
Mariela was afraid that Paige would get less rent. And it was hard for Paige to explain it to her friend.
“My friend said the price is not a problem.”
Paige looked at the time.
I said, “I have something to do now. Deon will come back here to help you move later. I would ask my friend about the specific location of the house. She told me last time, but I forgot.” “Ms. Tate.” Mariela did not know how to thank Paige.
Evelyn stood up and said, “Paige, you have helped us twice. We don’t know how to repay you. Thank you so much!”
“No need to repay me.
Paige said with a smile, “You should live a good life and live a better life than Jessie. That is the best reward for you and me.”
Evelyn was touched by something. She was close to crying.
“It’s a deal.
Paige got up and went out. After getting in the car, she turned on her mobile phone. Paige found the smallest house among all of the properties. It was located downtown.
The house with three rooms was located in Sunshine Heights. It was well decorated and had an area of 970 square inches. The password to enter the house should be 101010. Several relatives often sent Paige houses as gifts. In order to make it easier for Paige to remember, the password was all the same.
Paige sent the detailed information to Deon. Paige said, “When we arrive at Sunshine Heights, I will go to the Warren Cafe by myself first. And you go and help Mariela move.” “Yes, Ms. Tate.”
In the president’s office of the Stowe Group…
Martin did not know how many times he had looked at his phone. Other than the girl who was on the screen, there was no new message.
“Is the connection bad?”
Martin looked at Wi-Fi and suspected that there was something wrong with the internet. He looked at Rhys and said, ‘Send me a Line message.
“Huh?”
Rhys did not understand what Martin meant. Rhys asked, “Do you mean you want me to send you a Line message?”
Rhys wondered, why do I need to send him a Line message at such a close distance.
Can’t he just say it correctly?
Rhys asked respectfully, Mr. Stowe, what do you want me to send?”
“Up to you.
Then, then I’ll send you an emoji.
Rhys sent a smiley face over, and Martin received it right away.
Therefore, this was no problems with the connection. The signal was fine too. The problem was the girl didn’t send Martin a Line message. Martin did not receive anything. “Why do you send a smiley face during work hours?”
Martin felt that Rhys was mocking him by sending a smiley face because no one was locking for him. Martin said coldly. “I will donate your bonus for this month to local schools.” Rhys opened his eyes wide. He wondered, what? Mr. Stowe, didn’t you ask me to send anything I wanted? You said it was up to me. How did my smiley face provoke you?
Martin opened the chat. The last message was from six in the morning. Paige asked Martin to go to sleep first and said that they would meet in a while.
Paige cared about Martin, but she seemed to disappear after going to work.
Thinking that there were other male employees chasing Paige in the company, Martin was annoyed. Seeing that Rhys was still stunned, Martin asked, “What’s wrong? Do you have anything to do? Did you follow the project that I asked you to do? Have you solved the problem that I asked you to solve?”
“Mr. Stowe, I’ll do it right away!”
“Wait!”
Looking at Rhys’ back, Martin asked, “Did I tell you to leave?”
Rhys got confused.
Rhys turned around forcefully and said, “Mr. Stowe, Is there anything else I can help with?”
“From the brands we bought last time, is there any that was related to clothing?”
Hearing Martin’s question, Rhys thought for a moment and said, “Yes! There is a first-rate brand. It’s called Vogue Apparel. We’ve decided to purchase it because of the broken capital chain. And the senior management is a mess.
Martin asked slowly, ‘Do we lack partners?
“What?”
Rhys got confused and said, “Mr. Stowe, you must be joking. Our company is involved in so many fields. We have so many subsidiaries. How can we possibly lack partners? Many people are begging us to cooperate with their companies!”
As soon as Rhys finished speaking, he realized something suddenly. Clothing company and partners, those three words came to Rhys’s mind.
Rhys understood what Martin meant suddenly.
Rhys said, “But some partners whom we have been working together for a long time, don’t always offer a good price! I think we should find a new partner, and it is better to be well-prepared.” Martin raised his eyebrows. He looked happy again and asked, “For example?”
Rhys said hurriedly, “For example, I think the clothing company owned by Ms. Paige is quite good. Her company can help with processing products. We have so many production lines. For some clothing, we can ask Ms. Paige’s company to help us with the
processing. After the quality inspection, they will be sent back to our warehouse!”
Martin stretched his eyebrows. It seemed that he agreed with the idea.
“But I feel that it is a little eye-catching to cooperate with Ms. Paige’s clothing company suddenly. We are famous after all!”
“Oh, then what do you think?”
“I think that Vogue Apparel can also be like Ms. Paige’s clothing company. We can make Vogue Apparel an independent company. Vogue Apparel can be changed into a new name! Although Vogue Apparel was still supported by the Stowe Group, it is also a brand-new and independent company! Cooperating with Ms. Paige’s company. Vogue Apparel will have a wonderful development. In addition, I have thought of the name of the new company. It can be called Forever Paige!”
Martin raised his eyebrows and said, “You are quite thoughtful.”
Rhys sighed with relief. He said, ‘Mr. Stowe, I am flattered.” “Then do it.”
Martin said calmly, “if you do it well, the bonus will double.”
“Thank you, Mr. Stowe!”
Rhys was very excited. It turned out that Martin missed Paige, so he was in a bad mood.
Before Rhys left the office, he had an idea and said, “Oh, Mr. Stowe…”
“Yes?”
Although Martin still had that indifferent look, he seemed to be in a much better mood.
Rhys smiled and said, “Although you’ve been busy all day, you still have to care about Ms. Paige! For example, you can send her a message now, make a phone call or ask her what she is doing. We are men. We have to be more active. Don’t you think I’m right?” Martin seemed disapproving and he asked, “Do I need you to teach me?”
“Mr. Stowe, I’m not teaching you. It is a reminder! You know that girls need our care the most. What if they feel neglected? Don’t you think so, Mr. Stowe?”
“That makes sense.”
Martin picked up his phone and called Paige.
Rhys saw that Martin was in a better mood. He let out a sigh of relief and left.
Paige was dealing with cooperation with the other manager. Her phone vibrated suddenly.
Chapter 96
Paige did not look at her phone immediately Instead, she stood up and shook hands with the manager 1 hope we together
Ms Tate, you’re honest I believe that we can definitely work well together”
The manager was very satisfied with Paige and said with a smile, “As long as you can deliver the goods on schedule and ensure the quality, I think that we will continue to cooperate.”
“Understood.”
Paige wore a smile. “We have a high standard of workmanship. You can rest assured.
The manager left with a smile.
Paige watched her get into the car and then took out her mobile phone. Paige saw Martin calling her twice, and then she called back “What’s the matter?”
“Were you busy?”
“Yes, I just met a partner,”
“I also want to be your partner.”
“In this way, I can see you often.” Martin’s voice was full of affection.
Paige slightly smiled. “Come on. We’ve met a lot during the day.
‘Not enough.
Martin was firm. “It’s nowhere near enough. I want to see you every second and be with you.”
Paige walked on the roadside. “Well, I am going to take a taxi now. Let’s go back and talk?”
“Are you alone outside?”
Martin thought Paige had an assistant with her. Im going to pick you up. Where are you?”
“No need. It’s very close to the company. I can just take a taxi.”
“Let me pick you up. I want to.”
Martin left the office. Rhys thought that something had happened as he saw Martin walking in a hurry.
Paige helplessly sent a location to Martin and then stood by the side of the road to wait
There were no shops on this street, except for that coffee shop, and the others were closed. Behind her was a weedy land. It looked cheerless.
At this time, Paige took out her mobile phone and dealt with something. After a while, three cars stopped in front of her.
Paige looked up casually and saw Jessie get out of the car, who was beaten up. At the same time, Jessie also brought her brother David Robins and more than a dozen thugs.
“It’s her!”
Jessie originally wanted to go up the mountain to Mariela and Evelyn, but she did not expect to see Paige who was alone on the road. Jessie thought she was blessed.
She slapped me a few times and then kicked me.”
Jessie complained to David.
The air blew up Paige’s long hair. Her pretty face stunned David.
David thought, beautiful!
So beautiful
“David, what are you doing? Why aren’t you helping me hit her?”
Jessie’s face was too swollen, and she couldn’t even cover it with one hand. At this time, she was so angry and pushed David’s shoulder.”
Although David had seen many good looking girls, this was the first time he had seen someone like Paige with such a special temperament.
David put his hands in his pockets, thinking that he was handsome, and walked up to Paige. “Are you the one who beat my sister like this?
Paige casually raised her eyebrows as if she did not care about them at all.
Paige thought, with these dozen thugs, plus this brat, are you looking down on me?
“If you are sensible, kneel and apologize to me… Jessie thought that she had David’s support, so she walked up to Paige arrogantly.
Paige looked at Jessie’s swollen face and said disapprovingly, “Aren’t you still alive? You want me to pay respects to you so quickly? You haven’t even laid down in the coffin.” “You… You…” Jessie was furious, but she couldn’t think of a retort, and she looked ferocious.
“You have a sharp tongue.”
David was very interested. “If you don’t want to kneel… it’s fine. As long as you sleep with me and make me happy, I can let you go.”
‘David, what are you talking about? I want you to teach her a lesson.”
Jessie did not want to get it over so quickly. She hadn’t caught Paige and beaten her up.
Paige raised her eyebrows and looked at David. “Here? I’m afraid you can’t.”.
She knew that there were several surveillance cameras nearby, and evidence would be left.
“If you are shy, we can go there…” David thought that Paige had agreed, and he looked at the weedy land behind Paige.
“Okay”
Paige first walked toward the weedy land, and David followed her. The dozen of thugs didn’t know if they needed to follow and all looked at Jessie.
Jessie was confused.
She thought, isn’t Paige quite good at fighting? Why does she admit defeat so quickly?
Does she know that these thugs are very powerful and she wants to hit on David?
Does she think that she can marry into the Robins family just because she’s a little pretty? Humph, no way!
A girl like her can only be fooled by my brother.
Paige came to the weedy land, where the weeds had grown to the height of her knees. She turned back and said to David, “Just here.”
David did not expect Paige would choose such a good place. If they lay down here, others wouldn’t see them.
David thought Paige was quite shy.
Just you?”
Paige raised her eyebrows, looked at the dozen of thugs behind him, and casually asked, ‘The others are not coming?”
“Girl, you are quite lascivious… I can give your ass bitten by myself…”
David wouldn’t allow his lackeys to have sex with such a pretty girl like Paige.
He would have fun with her for at least half a month…
David reached out his hand. Before he could touch Paige’s clothes, he was caught by Paige. Before he could realize what was going on, David was thrown into the weeds and even ate the sand.
Jessie knew that Paige was not a good person. “What are you doing? Go help!”
Jessie thought, how dare this girl. How dare you attack my baby brother?
After all, David was the treasure of the Robins family.
Those thugs rushed toward Paige, and Paige’s face turned gloomy. She kicked one of them away quickly and then punched the stomach of another one.
One of them suddenly smashed a stick at Paige. She grabbed the wrist of that man and hit his head with the stick. Then Paige kicked him away.
The remaining men surrounded Paige and made moves together. Paige first grabbed one of them as a shield and then hit them one by one. One of the men pulled out a long knife and smashed it at Paige. She didn’t only quickly avoid it, but she also put the knife to that man’s neck, which scared the man out of his wits.
Jessie was stunned to see Paige beat those thugs one by one, and the last one was trembling with fear and raised his hand to surrender.
That man consciously knocked himself out with a stick and fell into the weeds…
Paige’s gaze then fell on Jessie.
Jessie was frightened. She thought. It’s me again.
“David… David!” Jessie shouted.
But David did not climb out of the weeds. Jessie was a little afraid. She did not understand why there was such a person in the world
Chapter 97
Paige looked good and quiet, but when she fought she was like a devil.
It was so terrifying
Jessie did not care that David was still in the weeds, she turned around and ran into the car, and drove away
Paige was speechless.
Her gaze fell on the dozen people screaming in the weeds, and then she looked at the street. Martin’s car came from afar. “Quiet.”
Hearing Paige’s words, a dozen thugs covered their mouths. No matter how painful it was, they did not dare to shout.
David was even more afraid.
Just now, David had known how powerful Paige was. She looked weak, but she was better than a professional fighter….
It was so terrifying.
When Paige walked to the side of the road, Martin’s car just stopped. He got out of the car and came to Paige. He opened the door for her. “My baby Paige, sorry to have you wait for a long time.” “Not really.”
“Actually, you don’t have to pick me up,” Paige said as she got into the passenger seat.
“I miss you”
Martin bent down to help her fasten her seat belt.
Paige looked at Martin’s handsome face. At such a close distance, she could see Martin’s high nose and smooth skin…
“I am not a child”
After Martin helped Paige fasten her seat belt, he looked up at her dotingly and said, “No matter how old you are, in my eyes, you are always a child.” Paige was always Martin’s treasure.
Paige felt shy for no reason.
Martin closed the door of the passenger seat and was about to get into the driver’s seat when he noticed two other empty cars next to him. The doors were open.
He glanced around but did not see anyone else. Martin did not mind. After getting in the car, he asked Paige, “What about the cooperation just now?” “About the processing.”
Paige looked up at the rearview mirror. None of those people climbed out of the weeds. It was estimated that she hit them hard and they couldn’t get up in a short time. “Will you help me with it too?”
Paige was surprised.”
“It’s a new company. It won’t attract attention.”
“Are you hungry? Shall I take you to eat something first?” Martin asked as he drove.
Paige looked at the time. It was almost twelve o’clock, so she agreed.
In the restaurant…
Martin asked Paige to order the dishes and was holding her hand when he sensed something different from usua!
It felt a little wet.
Martin looked down and saw that Paige’s right hand was injured. There were two wounds.
“You are injured? When did you get injured?”
Martin held her hand without looking carefully. He must have touched her wounds.
“I hurt you just now,” Martin blamed himself for his negligence
Martin thought, my silly girl, you didn’t even cry out when I touched your wounds. You just endured it all the time…. Paige didn’t know when she got hurt, so she just glanced at the wounds and said casually, “Oh, it’s okay.”
It didn’t hurt. Paige guessed she accidentally got hurt when she beat those people up.
Maybe she scraped her hand due to the zippers on those thugs clothes…
Paige couldn’t remember it clearly.
Martin called Jaydan and asked him to bring the first aid kit in.
Jaydan was so frightened, and he thought that Paige was injured in the restaurant. As soon as he entered the door, Jaydan kept apologizing…
Jaydan even promised that he would change everything in the private room and make sure that there wouldn’t be sharp edges…
“It’s none of your business. You can go now.” Paige could not help but laugh at Jaydan’s scared look.
When Jaydan heard this, he seemed to have a narrow escape. He kept thanking Paige and then hurriedly left.
“Where did you get hurt?”
Martin felt distressed and asked, “How did you get hurt?”
“I forgot.”
Paige really couldn’t remember..
When she was in Triangle Area, Paige suffered many injuries, but she didn’t shed a single tear. Paige didn’t even cry out in pain…
Now, they were just two little wounds, and Paige didn’t take it seriously.
“Were you bullied?”
Martin looked at Paige with affection. “Who did it?”
“No one.”
Paige even comforted Martin. “I don’t know when I got hurt. It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt.”
Martin looked down and held back his anger. He didn’t even bear hurting Paige.
Who dared to hurt Parge?
Martin would definitely find out.
I’ll help you apply for some medicine. It hurts a little… Martin’s move was slow. “If it hurts, just say it. Don’t endure it.”
Paige was speechless.
Back then, when she was hurt by a knife, Paige did not cry out in pain. Now, these two small wounds were nothing to her…
Martin gently helped her disinfect and applied the medicine He did not hear Paige cry throughout the process. Martin thought Paige must be afraid that he would feel distressed, so she endured the pain. As such Martin couldn’t wait to find out who bullied her.
Paige was a little speechless when she saw Martin wrap the wound in her hand with gauze.
“You don’t have to do this.”
Paige wanted to remove the gauze. It was too conspicuous.
She would go to work later.
It was too eye-catching to have her hands wrapped like this.
“If you are injured, you have to bandage It. Otherwise, if you get infected and recover badly, there will be a scar.”
Paige was speechless.
“Does it still hurt?”
Paige really did not feel pain, but Martin was still distressed. He suddenly remembered the two empty cars on the side of the road just now….
“It doesn’t hurt. You are too nervous.”
Paige didn’t take the minor injury seriously, but being cared about by Martin like this, Paige still felt a little warm.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Jaydan pushed a dining cart in.
“Mr. Stowe, I… I am here to serve the food…”
No waiter dared to come in, so Jaydan could only bite the bullet…
As soon as he came in, Jaydan saw Martin holding Paige and whispering something, while Martin was always cold to others…
Needless to say, Martin was in love and cared a lot about Paige.
Jaydan bowed his head and served the food. He said “enjoy” and was about to leave when he heard Martin’s voice.
“Hold on.”
Jaydan was frightened, wondering if Martin would punish him for what happened just now.
“Mr. Stowe, if there is a need, I will immediately ask the doctor to take a look at this young lady…” “Take away the first aid kit.”
“Huh?”
Jaydan thought that he heard it wrong. He wondered, just it? Nothing else?
“Why don’t you leave?”
“Yes, I will take it away now…” Jaydan hurriedly took the first aid kit and pushed the cart away.
Jaydan thought that Martin would be furious, but he did not expect Martin would have a good temper. Martin was not as bad as the rumors said.
Meanwhile…
When Mariela and Evelyn came to Sunshine Heights, they were both stunned.
Could they really live in such a high-end residential area for 560 dollars?
They were on cloud nine and followed Deon to the 10th floor. After entering the password, they were stunned by the decoration inside.
Chapter 98
The decoration was so luxurious, and the house was very clean. Was the rent really only 560 dollars)
Is Ms. Tate mistaken?
Manela could not believe it. “Deon, are you sure this is the house?”
Not to mention 560 dollars, they couldn’t even rent this place for 1,100 dollars.
“This is it. That’s right.”
Deon smiled and put down the luggage. ‘Il leave you guys alone.”
Mariela and Evelyn looked at each other, unable to recover from the shock…
Martin drove Paige back to the company and then asked Rhys to investigate Paige’s injury. Not long after, Rhys sent him a video.
It was taken by a surveillance camera on the street,
Three cars stopped in front of Paige. Then a man and a woman got out of the car, followed by more than a dozen thugs.
Not long after, Paige and the man disappeared from the surveillance camera and seemed to be walking toward the weedy land next to them. After a few minutes, Paige appeared and got into Martin’s car No matter what happened, Martin saw so many people bully Paige, and his face turned gloomy. “Find them out. I’ll ask them myself.”
After a long while…
Those thugs were brought to the weedy land. They looked up and saw a man who was tall and elegant, it was Martin, and eight bodyguards stood behind him……..
They didn’t understand what was going on and asked Martin.
“Sir, may I ask which gang you belong to? We are from the Robins family.”
“Why did you bring us here?”
“Do we know each other before?”
Those thugs covered their sore parts, all of them confused.
“I came to bring justice for my girl.”
Martin looked at them coldly and said slowly, “Do you still remember this place?”
Those thugs seemed to understand something and wondered if Martin was here to stand up for Paige.
Thinking of Paige’s fighting skills, they couldn’t help but tremble….
“How could you bully a girl?”
Martin raised his eyes and glanced at those guys coldly ‘You’ve outnumbered her. How could you bully her?” “Sir, can you be fair? That girl beat us up like this. We got bullied, not her. Look at the wounds on our bodies!”
“Yeah, that girl is too good at fighting. We are not her match at all!”
“She must have practiced fighting since she was a child. Her skills…”
“No, I was not even one-tenth as good as her when I fought her. She is simply a devil!”
“A devil?” Martin asked in a deep voice.
“No. Sir, we mean she is very powerful……. she take them away”
Martin’s voice was cold. “Let them recall.”
“Ah, sir, you have to believe us…”
“It was really us who got beaten up…”
“We really didn’t touch her…”
Those thugs were beaten up by Martin’s bodyguards. They felt great pain and couldn’t even get up…
They felt so wronged.
“One more time, who touched her?” Martin narrowed his eyes.
One of the thugs almost cried, “Sir, you must have thought too highly of us. It’s not that easy to touch her as you said…” Another thug also said in a broken voice, “We didn’t touch her at all. She beat me up like this! My front teeth even fell.’
“What about the wound on her hand?” Martin’s face turned a little sullen.
“She’s injured?”
Those thugs were stunned. They obviously didn’t touch Paige.
In their eyes, even if Paige was injured, it was definitely not as serious as theirs.
“Sir, could it be that after she beat us up, she didn’t enjoy herself and went to beat someone else? Did she get injured elsewhere?”
“We aren’t that capable..
“Even if my masters all fought with her, they wouldn’t win.”
Those thugs were really wronged.
They thought Paige was unreasonable as she even found her man to deal with them after beating them.
In their minds, Paige went too far.
“What about the two leaders?”
Martin asked Rhys.
Before Rhys could reply, one of the thugs said, “Ms. Robins was frightened. She had a car accident on the way back and is still in the hospital.”
Another thug added, “Mr. Robins is also in the operation room. The doctor said that if it was a little later, he would even lose his life.” Martin thought, on?
So serious?
My girl is obviously cute and good, not like a fighter.
This group of people must have slandered her.
“Mr. Stowe, when I caught them, they were already seriously injured. Their injuries were indeed serious…” Rhys whispered to Martin. Needless to say, it was Paige who hit them.
Rhys didn’t expect that Paige, who looked good, would beat this group of people like this.
Rhys wondered if Martin would have a hard time after marriage.
“Go back and tell them to stay away from my girl”
After that, Martin prepared to leave.
“Mr. Stowe, what about these people? Rhys hurriedly asked.
Martin’s deep eyes fell on them, and his tone was indifferent. “Teach them a lesson again.”
“Beat us again?”
Those thugs were stunned. They wondered what they did wrong and would be beaten three times a day.
They were beaten by Paige once and by Martin’s bodyguards twice.
Thus…
After they went back, they decided to resign. They thought it was so dangerous to work for the Robins family, and they couldn’t even pay for the medical expenses with their salaries. “Buddies, please be gentle. We’re already on the edge of death…”
“Why don’t you just kick us casually?”
“I can roll from this side to the other side. How about it?”
Martin’s bodyguards did not waste time talking to them and beat them up. Screams came from the weedy land…
Meanwhile…
It was already past three in the afternoon when Mariela arrived at the company.
When Nigel came to the design department, he saw that Mariela had just returned to her desk, and he frowned with dissatisfaction.
Mariela!”
Nigel held his hands behind his back and shouted, “What time is it now? Do you think the company is your home and you can come whenever you want? Do you take the rules of the company seriously?”
Everyone looked at Mariela and worried about Mariela.
Mariela lowered her head as if she had done something wrong. “Good afternoon, Mr. Ingram… I took leave with Ms. Tate. I came back, immediately after I was done and did not dare to delay…”
“Ms. Tate?”
Nigel sneered and said, “Well, you come to Ms. Tate upon anything. Is Ms. Tate very free? She even personally approved your leave?”
“No, it’s not like that… Ms. Tate is very busy. It’s my fault to disturb her.”
At least in Mariela’s eyes, Paige was very conscientious and devoted to her work.
Paige was unlike Nigel, who often left the company and went out to have fun.
Chapter 99
You’re absent from work today!
What are you waiting for? Why don’t you get back to work now?” Nigel squinted at Mariela.
“Ms. Tate said that I could have a personal leave today Mariela argued, in a low voice.
“Ms. Tate, Ms. Tate!!! Do all of you plan to go against me with the excuse of Ms. Tate? Well, do you think that I dread her?
Nigel paced back and forth Looking at the girl, who was unconvinced in front of him, and then at the other employees who were too scared to say anything, Nigel felt a sudden flash of anger in his heart.
“I doubt if she graduated from high school when I started my management over a company!
“I set an example to you over the past year, but you learn nothing, apart from her bad temper
“Well, do all of you want to go against me?
“Do you know that I can fire all of you?”
Many employees lowered their heads and exchanged one glance with each other.
“Ms. Tate is a very good person…” Mariela bit her lower lip and spoke up for Paige
Mariela thought, she is only 18 years old but can make the company prosper She is very talented in design and always comes up with many new ideas to greatly improve our design works
At the same time, she is a good leader who cares for her employees and solves their problems……
I don’t think I can find another good boss like her.
‘She backs you up, so you don’t take me seriously, do you? You choose her side, don’t you? You know what, I insist that you were absent from work for no reason today! What do you think? You may quit if you don’t agree with my decision!”
After the speech, Nigel took two steps away. Right then, a stone came out of the blue and hit Nigel on the knee….
Caught off guard, Nigel fell forward. His chin hit the plant pot on the ground and instantly bled.
“Mr. Ingram, are you alright…”
Before the employees figured out what had happened, Nigel was lying on the ground. Nigel felt too painful to get up by himself.
Mariela was startled. She didn’t understand why Nigel had fallen all of a sudden. Mariela wondered, is his cerebellum under development? Or does cerebellar atrophy happen to him because of age? “Oh, Mr. Ingram, you are too excited!”
A cold voice suddenly sounded in the room.
The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and saw Paige.
Mariela saw Paige and became a bit excited as if she saw her savior.
Paige was domineering and cool. She coldly looked at the man on the ground. “I allowed Mari to take a leave. Well, do I need your permission for that?”
Nigel held his chin, and it hurt so much that he could not speak.
A few employees went to help Nigel get up from the ground.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Nigel wanted to say something. However, he couldn’t make a sound because his chin was so painful.
He pointed to Paige and then left for the pain.
“‘n think he will have to go to see a doctor first. Looking in the direction where Nigel had left, Mariela felt sorry for Nigel
“Yes, I think so…
“Ms. Tate, thank you for helping me out just now, as well as that house Mariela thought that she couldn’t express her gratitude in words
Before Mariela finished her speech, Paige said gently, “Just focus on work.
Meanwhile, Tyrell received a lot of calls.
Lindsey received a lot of congratulations from her relatives and friends.
“Lindsey, you and Tyrell are so low key. Abbigail won second place in National Piano Competition. Why didn’t you share the good news with us? Are you afraid of treating us to dinner? Haha… “There is an official announcement about the competition. Abbigail got second place, and Patricia, the daughter of the richest man, was the champion!
“Abbigail is awesome. She is still young and will have a bright future!
“I learned from the announcement that the prize ceremony would be held at Melody Theater in three days. Every artist wants to be in that theater for once in his life! Abbigail will go there as a prize winner, and she is so young! How promising!
“I heard that the big shots of this field would present the awards to those prize winners! What a great honor to take the trophy from a big shot!”
Half a month had passed since Abbigail learned of her ranking in the competition backstage to the issue of this announcement.
Lindsey did not expect to receive so many congratulations. She smiled from ear to ear.
Tyrell was in a good mood. He said to the caller on the phone, “Well, your daughter is accomplished in violin too. Abbigail was lucky.
It was a stroke of luck…”
Right after Tyrell put down his phone, there came another call.
“Mr. Hacker? Hahaha, you saw the announcement about Abbigail’s ranking in the competition! Thanks for your compliment. You are so nice. It’s just a small competition…”
The phone rang again, so Tyrell answered the call with a bright smile. “Thank you, thank you, thank you for your praise, Mr. Langford. Abbigail has been interested in arts since she was a child. We didn’t worry about her…”
It had been quite a long time since the last time when the Tate family had been so happy. The neighbors came with gifts.
One came in a hurry and said, ‘Mrs. Tate, Mrs. Wayne is here!”
Lindsey thought, Mrs. Wayne?
Her family is rich…
“Please show her in now.”
Lindsey straightened her clothes and deliberately put on her expensive jewelry. “Yo, Mrs. Wayne, why did you come with so many gifts?”
Leah was a noble lady. Right then, they moved the gifts into the house for her. With a decent smile, Leah looked benign.
Lindsey saw the gifts, so her eyes lit up. “You’re so generous to bring us so many bottles of Hennessy.” There seemed to be six or seven bottles of Hennessy. There were also some good cigarettes and teas…. “Too much. I can’t take them…” Lindsey declined insincerely.
“Mrs. Tate, come on! We are neighbors.”
With a decent smile, Leah said gently, ‘As the saying goes, a good neighbor is better than a brother far off, and we should help each other… I heard that Abbigail won second place in the piano competition. I came to congratulate her. What an excellent and promising girl.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mrs. Wayne, for your praise.”
Lindsey shot one glance next to her and said, “What are you waiting for? How can we reject Mrs. Wayne’s kindness…”
It seemed Lindsey was afraid that Leah would take the gifts away.
Leah’saw through Lindsey and looked down upon her. However, Leah still maintained a proper smile. “Where is Abbigail?”
“She? She went on a date with her boyfriend early in the morning…” Then, Lindsey said with a smile, “Why are you still standing here?
Bring some tea to Mrs. Wayne! The good one! Hurry up!”
“Yes.”
They hurriedly left with the order.
Leah didn’t like Lindsey, who behaved like new money. However, she remained cool and collected in front of Lindsey.
“I’ve seen that boy several times. He is gentlemanlike. It seems he comes from a good family.”
Leah had seen Davon at the door of her house several times. Leah thought, that boy has a nice manner whenever he comes to see Abbigail. He looks well-bred and must come from a decent family.
Chapter 100
“Oh, you’ve got sharp eyes! You’re right. His dad is the richest in Skokie. In the future, he will marry Abbigail!”
When Leah heard the richest man in Skokie”, her eyes lit up. The richest man in Skokie was much better than the richest man in Dolton
Knowing that Abbigail would be a member of high society in the future, Leah knew that she had made the right decision to come. She smiled and took out a contract. “Well, I come this time mainly because we want Abbigail to endorse our brand’
The Wayne family made pianos and had customers overseas. Leah knew that most of the kids who learned piano today were from rich families. They were young, so the endorser had to be relatively younger.
In the piano competition this time, the winner was Patricia, the daughter of the Lusk family. She naturally wouldn’t condescend to endorse a piano brand. Her family didn’t lack money after all… Therefore, Abbigail became Leah’s target.
The Tate family loved money as much as they loved their lives. They wouldn’t even miss the chance to make a cent…
Lindsey took the contract and was stunned when she saw the pay was 800 thousand dollars.
“We want to sign a one-year contract with Abbigail. After a year, whether the pay will increase or decrease will depend on Abbigail herself.”
Leah had made herself very clear. She meant that if Abbigail could get more prizes, they would raise her pay.
But if she stayed where she was, the pay would become less.
“Leah, you think too highly of Abbigail. She has only won a small prize… Lindsey seemed overwhelmed by the surprise.
It was actually worth 800 thousand dollars!
“No, a prize in this competition is very valuable. Since Abbigail is able to get second place, it means that she is better than other contestants.”
“Then this contract, I only need to ask Abbigail to sign it after she comes back?”
“Yes… But there are two conditions.”
Leah smiled politely. “One is that Abbigail can’t endorse other piano brands after she becomes our endorser.”
Lindsey smiled and said, “Of course! In the whole country, there is absolutely no other brand that can afford such a high pay…”
Leah smiled and continued, “The other one is that during the one year, she must not have any scandals, otherwise she has to pay a penalty ten times as much…”
“Abbigail is a good kid. There will be no scandals!”
“Then Mrs. Tate, please make sure she signs the contract. After the awards ceremony, we will tweet she’s our endorser. Let’s keep it a secret before then!”
“No problem.”
There, Leah stood up and said, ‘Then I’ll disturb you no further. I see that Mr. Tate has been getting calls non-stop… There must be a lot of people congratulating you.” “Not that much.”
Lindsey said modestly with a smile and walked Leah to the door. She was over the moon.
Alter Tyrell finished the call and heard the news from the nanny, he was also very happy. The nannies complimented Abbigail.
“Ms. Abbigail is amazing! As expected, the biological child is better! She has the genes of Tate and Mrs. Tate, unlike Paige.
Paige does not look like a good kid at all She is so cold to people. Does she think she is superior to everyone.
“Mr. Tate raised her for so long, but she did not come back once. She is so ungrateful.
“But Ms. Abbigail is kind and intelligent. She actually got second place in such a stiff competition. That’s amazing?”
“What are you talking about?”
Abbigail came back from her date and walked into the living room holding Lindsey’s arm. She pretended not to hear the praises from the nannies.
When the nannies saw her, they complimented her more.
“Ms. Abbigail, you’re finally back! Your date lasted from the morning to the evening! So long! Sure enough, young people’s love is sweet…”
“Our young lady has completely won Mr. Elinor’s heart!”
“Not anyone can have Mr. Elinor for an entire day. But our young lady is not anyone!”
Abbigail smiled gently. Only she knew that Davon had agreed to celebrate with her because the results of the competition had been released
He had not contacted her for several days.
“Abbigail, did Davon treat you the same way as before?”
Lindsey asked.
Abbigail nodded, not daring to say anything more.
In fact, she knew in her heart that something was secretly changing…
“That’s good. After what Greta said at the door of Killian’s ward…” Lindsey noticed that her daughter looked a little embarrassed, and she said, “It’s nothing. No big deal. Since Davon still likes you, I’m relieved. You don’t have to worry about Greta!”
Several nannies spoke up for Abbigail.
“Greta must be blind. Ms. Abbigail is so perfect. How dare Greta dislike her?”
“And she is not very good! At least Ms. Abbigail is much better than her at the piano!”
“That’s right…”
Abbigail smiled and thanked them for their compliments. She was about to go upstairs.
“Abbigail, sign this contract first! Then you can tell Davon that you are an endorser. Then the Elinor family will think better of you!”
“Sure!”
Abbigail picked up the pen and read through the contract. She wrote down her bank card number and social security number and signed her name.
Lindsey personally sent the contract to the next door. Not long after, Abbigail’s account received 800 thousand dollars.
Tyrell, our company is saved!”
Lindsey was so excited. They were only getting prouder and prouder of Abbigail! She was their cash cow!
“If your mother wakes up and sees how wonderful Abbigail is, she will definitely regret that she was so partial to Paige before!”
Tyrell was in a good mood. “Enough. Leave her out of our conversations for once.”
“I’m only saying the truth…” Then Lindsey said happily, “Abbigail has given us 640 thousand dollars, which can ease our company’s crisis for a while. When Mom wakes up, make her sign that will…” As long as Cassie sold part of her shares and gave the rest to Abbigail, their lives would be better.
“I know. You have brought up the will thing a hundred times!”
Meanwhile.
Paige gave the revised design to Mariela. “This is the draft you left in my office this morning. I’ve revised it. Take a look.”
Mariela took a look, and her eyes lit up. “Ms. Tate, your version is so good!”
All the imperfections were perfected by Paige in an amazing way.
“Take a look and see if there is anything else that needs to be improved. Give it to the pattern maker before the end of the day. Let’s make the sample and start to mass produce it as soon as possible.”
