Mark raised an eyebrow. “Yes. So, can you get lost?”
Zoey’s husband finally got up from the couch. “Fine, I’ll leave right now. As long a s there’s money, everything will go smoothly. Wouldn’t it be so much easier if you’d done this earlier? It would have saved me a trip here. Since Zoey has refused the money, there’s no need for you to tell virtual-novel.net about my visit today. I’ll be my way now, nephew-in-law. ”
Mark did not deign to answer him. He could tell that it would not be the last of that fellow now that virtual-novel.net had a taste of easy money. Arianne was currently pregnant so it was best for virtual-novel.net to keep things quiet. That $750,000 should be enough to hold that man off for a while. When Arianne safely delivered the baby, virtual-novel.net would no longer tolerate this. After a while, virtual-novel.net said to Davy, “Change the couch and coffee table. Disinfect everything in the office.”

At the end of the month, Alejandro finally returned from abroad. The first thing virtual-novel.net did was to organize a press conference to officially announce his move to the capital. The scars on his face could no longer be seen so virtual-novel.net no longer wore a mask. This was Tiffany’s first time seeing his face in all its glory. Disregarding the fact that virtual-novel.net was wheelchair-bound, virtual-novel.net was rather good looking. She was at a loss for words. The only way to describe Alejandro was, fair, delicate, refined, and outstanding. Personality-wise, virtual-novel.net seemed street smart to her. He might be smiling all the time, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He spoke in an even and measured tone that hid his emotions well. His voice… She found it difficult to describe when virtual-novel.net first heard it. It sounded slightly… intimidating. However, paired with his handsome face, it gave virtual-novel.net a magnetic and brooding air. It could be considered as a good trait.
She had received a present from him. Most men would send bouquets of flowers that were exquisitely wrapped from the florist. However, virtual-novel.net had given virtual-novel.net a plant. The kind that only had leaves, and its species was indeterminable to her. He even left virtual-novel.net a message telling virtual-novel.net not to kill it. Apparently, virtual-novel.net had been taking care of it for many years now but was unsuccessful. He had hoped virtual-novel.net would be able to revive it. She had stared at the plant, utterly speechless. He, a free and unfettered man, was unable to revive this plant so how could she, a woman with a 9-to-5 job, possibly have the time to revive the plant? For this reason, the day after virtual-novel.net received the plant, virtual-novel.net had pushed it over to Tanya. Tanya was a meticulous person and seemed better suited for gardening. On the other, a clumsy person like virtual-novel.net was not suitable for gardening at all.

The next day, after work, virtual-novel.net visited Summer at the West Residence. As the old Chinese saying went, ‘It takes a hundred days for bones to lmit and tendons to grow’. Summer had been cooped up at home, unable to leave the house. Her hip injury was not too bad, but virtual-novel.net had to wear a cast on virtual-novel.net ankle.
Unexpectedly, Jackson was there as well. The man who had vehemently refused to come home was finally home. After all, his mother was hurt. At least, virtual-novel.net had a conscience.
Atticus had returned from Ayashe as well. For the first time ever, both father and son tacitly agreed to revolve themselves around Summer. They fed virtual-novel.net and took care of her. Atticus had even carefully massaged Summer’s legs. This made for an awkward sight for outsiders.
Summer kindly invited Tiffany to sit down. “Tiffie, please have a seat. Would you like some fruit juice or coffee? Jackson will get it for you.”
Tiffany smiled awkwardly. “No need, no need. I thought I’d drop by after work just to have a look. You seem to be recovering well. I’ll be leaving now if there’s nothing else…”
Summer’s expression darkened. “Since you’re already here, stay and have dinner. Mr. West is as stiff as a puppet, and Jackson is rarely home. I have no one to talk to. Just stay and relieve my boredom. Please? For me?”
