Right at this moment, in the president's office of Soaver International, Frederick was staring at the computer screen, his eyes pinned on something that was not the enlarged main object which was himself, but on the slim figures which hugged intimately behind the glass cabfor a long, long time...
Until there was a knock on the door, he adjusted his seat and said, "Cin!" Then, Chet walked in and set down the documents. After that, he laid an exquisitely packaged box on the table. "Frederick, this is from France, sent by an express delivery. I've signed and received it for you!" The moment he saw the label on it, he knew that it should be custom-made jewelry, which must be reserved for Miss Blanchard. Unfortunately...
Frederick paused for a moment, and his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
Just like what he assumed, seeing this, Chet said, "Do you wantto open it up for you?" With a slight nod from Frederick, Chet immediately took it out for him. There was a red square box attached with a promotion photo of the jewelry shop. At a glance, he saw a pair of folded palms on it. "A pair of couple rings?" They were rings! Just when Chet realized it, Frederick had already opened the box. In front of their eyes, were a pair of beautiful diamond rings. The lady's ring was oval-shaped. Looking closely, the main feature was the huge blue diamond, paired with a water droplet-like white diamond. It was designed to be in the shape of a blooming flower. The style was simple, elegant, and unique. As for the man's ring, there was no decoration at all. It was just a platinum ring embedded with a similar lake-blue diamond, just like the lady's ring.
Frederick first took out the lady's ring. He played around with it for stime, and his eyes were very gentle. The ring was designed by him. Only he knew that this was a pear blossom, but his design was not professional. Both the production and the wearing of the ring were questioned by the expert. After a few rounds of communication and improvement, only then was the final product completed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was what he requested. The rare blue diamond was divided into two parts. The blue diamond on their rings was cut off from the spiece. He didn't care if the diamond was depreciated or wasted. He just wanted to be one with her, even if he was separated from her. He planned to give her a diamond ring on their wedding anniversary every year. All in different colors, all matched with his. In this way, even if it was a wedding ring, they could always wear it in pairs! Unfortunately...
Frederick held the ring tightly and put it back into the box. Then, he took out the man's ring and put it on his ring finger.
Chet seemed to have something to say looking at him, but he swallowed his words in the end.
Seeing him put away the other ring, he spoke up, "By the way, Frederick, there's one more thing!" Although he didn't want to remind him of the sad memories, Chet still thought that he should ask for his opinion. Now, it seemed that he couldn't make the decision on his own about anything regarding Miss Blanchard.
The current Frederick could not be seen as an ordinary person nor judged by common sense at all! "What is it? Tell me!" He grew impatient.
"The hotel called and inquired about the preparation of the wedding. A lot of things have been booked..." Chet said.
This had been booked a long tago. The money couldn't be refunded for sure. So, when the hotel called to ask, he didn't dare to reply for the tbeing. Since it was going to be wasted, he thought that maybe the banquet could be changed into a company dinner.
Before Chet could figure out his plan, Frederick suddenly spoke.
"Keep it going! Let's do it as scheduled!" He owed her a wedding, and he would do what he had to do! "What?" Chet cried out in shock, "Frederick, this is a wedding, a wedding banquet. Do you mean to carry on the wedding? What about the bride?" Who was he going to marry? "Who said that you're not allowed to get married without a bride?" Chet was stunned. Sure enough, he was not normal! Was he okay? Was he going to marry a ghost? Judging by his serious expression, he didn't seem to be joking at all. Chet swallowed all the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
After a long while, he said, "Okay, I have a plan!" At this time, at the Clements family home, Hallie went to her mother's room with several bags of cosmetics and saw that Penny was pacing back and forth in front of the window with her mobile phone in her hand.
"Mom, what's the matter? Is there anything bothering you? I dropped by and bought you several bags of sheet masks!" Hallie said.
Settling down the bags, Hallie inadvertently saw a corner of the newspaper on the table. The scandalous photos of Frederick and a woman cinto her sight.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHallie said, "You saw it, too? I was about to tell you this! I thought he was going to break down and I was feeling glad about it, but I didn't expect..." As soon as she spoke, Penny rolled her eyes at her and said, "What are you talking about?" She walked to the door and locked it before she said, "Keep your voice down! Watch your mouth!" "Mom, what are you afraid of at home? Dad is not here, and there are no outsiders..." Hallie muttered and sat down on the sofa on one side grumpily. She then saw a box of prescription medicine. "What is this?" Penny snatched it from her, "It's nothing!" Although it was just a glance, Hallie still saw sfamiliar traces, "Mom, is that... the medicine that Grandma often takes to reduce blood pressure or to calm her mind?" Medicine could be poison as well. Could it be that she used this medicine...
With a change of thoughts, Hallie could pretty much guess what was going on.
Grandma was definitely the boss in the family! In the whole Clements family, no one dared to not listen to her. Not to mention that her father and her uncle were filial sons. The Clements family had always been disciplined, and it was for the sake of the family's reputation and development that no one dared to offend Mrs. Clements! Because of this reason, Frederick's status was superior to that of his peers and even in the entire family since he was brought up by his grandmother! With this in mind, Hallie also felt unfair and unhappy! They were both descendants of the Clements family, but because of their family order, she and Mason were not only but also had to look out for him constantly, let alone her grandmother's inclination for him.
restricted in inheriting the met "Mom, you don't want to do that to Grandma... do you?"
Hallie gulped down the last few words. She stepped forward and grabbed her mother's arm, "Mom, although also hate that old woman, you must think about it carefully! If something happens to Grandma, not to mention Dad, even Uncle and...
They won't let it go easily!" Plus Trevor. If they found any evidence, they would definitely kill her! Hallie took her hand and shook her head nervously. Penny was of course aware of this, she said, "That's why I've decided to let her take the usual medicine more frequently! However, it looks like there's no use now!" Then, she stuffed the prescription back into the medicine box and then threw it into the drawer, "Forget it! It's a sin in the first place. This risk is not worth taking!"
Originally, she wanted to take the opportunity to knock down Frederick so that he could be depressed and despairing for the rest of his life. But by the looks of it now, it seemed that Alicia's accident didn't do much harm to him, and it might be even lesser harm than Danica's She overestimated Alicia and underestimated his cold-bloodedness. She had never thought that he could recover so quickly. Before she took any action, he had already had a love affair with more than one woman.
