A blush spread across Charlotte's small face after she spoke.
My God!
How could she say something so shameful?
Henry suddenly looked down.
He remembered that night.
Although his being drugged was one reason that it had happened, it was undeniable that this woman was damnably seductive.
Her exquisite figure was soft and smooth to the touch.
Her body even had a sweet fragrant smell.
It was like the finest honey that he couldn't help but keep tasting.
That night, he had indeed done it again and again tirelessly.
There was a sudden flare of heat in his lower abdomen.
Henry bent over and walked toward Charlotte.
When he spoke, Charlotte felt his warm breath on her red face. "Although you are a hateful, vain woman," Henry said, "there are still things about you that I like very much. You have a very high tolerance."
Charlotte stared at him, confused.
High tolerance?
What did that mean?
She did not think she had ever even seen that in the dictionary.
Henry said slowly, "You could tolerate me doing it again and again."
Now, she could still keep appearing in front of him while thinking of various ways to seduce him.
Charlotte said nothing.
She not only blushed but felt thoroughly embarrassed.
What was this man talking about?
How shameless!
Why did he look so elegant and handsome but say such vulgar things?
Charlotte wanted to curse.
But after thinking about it again, she decided to endure it.
She had no choice.
She was an employee of the Stevens Corporation. Under his authority, she had to bow her head.
Fortunately, Henry didn't harass her for long.
After taking a long look at Charlotte, he asked, "Are you holding a birthday banquet?"
In the end, he still wanted to confirm it.
Charlotte was upset and didn't hear him clearly.
She thought she had heard Henry say, "Is this a birthday banquet?"
Charlotte nodded. "Yes."
With a snort, Henry started to walk back to the car.
...
The butler was sitting in the car and touching his head when he saw Henry come back. He let out a dry laugh. "Sir, did you see Miss Johnson?"
"Yeah." Henry had an aloof expression on his face.
The butler exhaled.
Thank goodness!
It seemed that he had not picked up the wrong person.
He had thought so.
She had been wearing his watch, so how could he have made a mistake?
"Sir?" the butler asked, looking puzzled.
"Go back," Henry said.
The butler immediately stepped on the accelerator.
However, he had to stop shortly after that.
Two people-one big and one small-were in the road in front of them.
The road was narrow, so vehicles and people couldn't pass by at the same time.
The butler stopped the car and waited for the two people to pass.
...
"Octavia, slow down." Yolanda was panting as she shouted.
Originally, she had been playing on the swings with the six children, but a kitten had come over.
When Octavia saw the kitten, she had chased after it as if she were possessed.
Yolanda had to follow Octavia.
The kitten had vanished, so the two of them were going back to the villa.
"Grandma, I'll wait for you," Octavia said, stopping.
"Ah, I'm old, so I can't run anymore," Yolanda said.
"Grandma, don't be afraid," Octavia said in her tiny voice. "When Octavia grows up, she will make money and buy a big car for Grandma."
After she spoke, she pointed forward. "I'll buy you a car as big as that car in front of you!"
Yolanda saw the car in front of her.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
A Rolls-Royce!
Ah!
When she was young, she had also dreamed of marrying a man who drove a Rolls-Royce.
Unfortunately, she'd had no success.
Later, she had given birth to a daughter.
She had passed on this dream to her daughter.
People always said that every generation was more outstanding than the previous generation.
However, when it came to her and her daughter, not only did her daughter not surpass her, but the future generation was worse off than the previous generation.
Her daughter's life wasn't even as good as her life.
She had given birth to eight children!
With these eight children here, even a man riding a tricycle would keep his distance from her, let alone a man with a Rolls-Royce!
Yolanda felt sad when she thought about it.
She passed the Rolls-Royce with dull eyes, but just then, Octavia stopped.
She looked at Henry, who was sitting in the car, and her big black eyes gleamed.
They were brighter than the stars in the sky.
...
Henry saw an adorable girl looking at him outside the car window. She opened her mouth and said something.
Henry had never liked children.
Strangely, this little girl somehow made his heart stir.
He said to the butler, "Ask what she is talking about."
The butler rolled down the window, looked at Octavia, and was taken aback.
Ah.
This little girl was so beautiful. How come she looked a little like his master?
Was she his master's illegitimate daughter?
But that was impossible.
Except for Miss Johnson, his master had never had a relationship with any woman.
And Miss Johnson wasn't pregnant either.
So it had to be a coincidence.
After all, many people in this world looked alike.
"Little girl, what are you saying?" the butler asked Octavia.
Octavia approached the butler and stretched out her hand. With a starstruck expression on her face, she pointed her chubby little finger at Henry. "Brother is so, so handsome!"
As she spoke, Octavia twisted her body around.
Henry let out a cough, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
The butler understood and immediately corrected her. "Little girl, it's 'uncle.'" Yolanda grabbed Octavia. "Don't say nonsense. He is an uncle."
"Okay, uncle." Octavia had to change the way she addressed him. "What is uncle doing here?"
Naturally, Henry would not answer this boring question.
The butler replied reflexively, "Mister came to see Miss Johnson."
Octavia didn't understand, but Yolanda understood.
Could this be Lily's legendary boyfriend?
Yolanda's mouth fell open so wide that one could have stuffed an egg inside!
The rumor that Lily had a rich boyfriend had been circulating for a long time, but no one had ever seen him.
Yolanda had guessed that he was an old, ugly man and that Lily was embarrassed to let everyone see him.
Surprisingly, she had been wrong.
The other party was so handsome!
She had never seen such a good-looking man in all the years of her life.
"Drive!" Henry said suddenly.
He seemed unhappy. The butler had said too much.
The butler immediately rolled up the car window.
Yolanda came to her senses and took a few steps forward to drag Octavia back.
The car's engine roared, and the vehicle sped away.
...
In the evening, Charlotte and the rest of the crowd went home.
Along the way, Yolanda sighed heavily, looking at Charlotte.
Charlotte stared at her.
She said, "Mom, what's the matter with you?"
"Why don't you have Lily's luck in life?" Yolanda asked.
Charlotte paused.
Ah, she felt that a lecture was coming on.
Charlotte said, "Having eight children is enough for me to be happy."
Yolanda sighed again.
Charlotte was still young, so she didn't understand.
Now, the children were small, but once they grew up, there were so many things for which she would need money.
No matter how hard Charlotte worked, it would be difficult for her to raise eight children.
Thinking of this, Yolanda frowned, feeling like her future was devoid of hope.
Thinking of Lily's mother's lavish, glamorous appearance and how everyone kissed up to her, she became green with envy.
A new day dawned.
Lily went to the center of the Imperial City.
Her meeting with Charlotte yesterday had made her feel very suspicious.
Charlotte's six children hadn't turned out the way she had expected them to.
Back then, she had told the nurse to find physically disabled children.
Although she had not verified it afterward, she had assumed that the nurse would not deceive her.
After all, if they were normal, cute children, what parent would be willing to abandon them?
To find so many children, the nurse would have no choice but to look for the disabled children abandoned by their parents!
She had to find the nurse from four years ago and ask what was going on.
...
Lily called the nurse, but the other party's number had been disconnected.
It didn't matter. She knew which hospital the nurse worked at.
But when she arrived at the hospital, Lily heard that the nurse from back then had resigned.
That wasn't surprising.
After all, she had paid the nurse a lot of money.
With that kind of money, the nurse wouldn't need to work hard at all.
However, through the hospital, Lily found the nurse's home address.
She went to the nurse's house.
However, the nurse had moved away a long time ago.
That wasn't surprising, either.
After all, moving was a normal thing.
Unexpectedly, Lily ran into the nurse's neighbor.
The neighbor casually told Lily that the nurse had fled abroad. People said she was being chased.
Lily stared.
Chased by someone?
How could that be?
She was just a nurse, so who had a grudge against her? Who would try to kill her?
She wasn't a big shot, so who would hunt her down?
Lily immediately asked the neighbor this.
The neighbor didn't know about the matter that well. They said that some organization seemed to be after the nurse. The nurse's family had escaped, and now, there was no news of them.
Lily was shocked when she heard this.
In front of her, a huge mystery had appeared.
What exactly was going on?
Lily thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't come up with anything.
In the end, she stopped thinking.
Instead of doing this, she should think about how to make more money.
For some reason, she suddenly had a hunch.
The day when Henry saw her true colors couldn't be far away.
Before it arrived, she had to make a lot of money to continue living the life of a rich lady.
...
At the Stevens Corporation...
Charlotte submitted a cross-level application.
Each position at the Stevens Corporation had three levels.
Employees could get a raise for each promotion to the next level.
For cross-levels, in addition to examinations and reviews, a certain number of years of work was required.
Of course, that wasn't an inflexible rule. It was just a default.
Charlotte was anxious to submit a cross-level application to raise her salary and make more money.
She was a modest employee submitting the cross-level application, so theoretically, Henry Stevens shouldn't have known about it at all.
But because of Merry, it reached Henry's ears.
While delivering documents to Henry, MERRY pretended to say inadvertently, "Mr.
President, that employee Charlotte submitted a cross-level application. She has only worked here for a few days but has already submitted this application. She's quite ambitious."
Henry looked up at Merry.
His eyes were dark and deep.
They were like bottomless pits.
Merry subconsciously felt intimidated, but she said with a smile, "Mr. President, I didn't make this up. I heard it from others."
Henry said, "You haven't reported to the cleaning department yet?"
Merry froze.
She was frightened. "Mr. President, I'm going to get busy now."
After that, she quickly escaped.
...
Henry's assistant came to Charlotte and said that Henry wanted to see her.
While they stood in the elevator, the assistant couldn't help but look at Charlotte.
He had been with Henry for many years, but he had never seen Henry pay so muchattention to any female employee.
This time, he had taken the initiative to ask Charlotte to go to his office.
It seemed that Charlotte was very unusual.
Charlotte noticed the assistant's gaze.
She asked, "Assistant Jackson, is something wrong?"
The assistant told the truth. "Nothing is wrong. I just think that President Stevens pays quite a lot of attention to you."
Charlotte was silent.
He did indeed.
After all, they had had s*x before.
