《Lady Li Descends from the Sky: The Beloved Fallen Heiress》 I slept with that man Inside the hotel room, Lily Hernandez hesitated for a long time outside the door. After gritting her teeth, she decided to push open the luxurious suite in front of her. An hour ago, she had received a message from Ethan Lee asking her to come here. "Who is it?" The door was opened with a creak. Only a single orange bedside lamp was lit inside the room, emitting a sickly sweet fragrance. In the dim light, she could vaguely see the silhouette of a man, with a lean yet hormone-filled body and long legs. "Lee..." Lily Hernandez''s voice trembled as she spoke. The man leaning against the head of the bed paused for a moment, then impatiently growled, "Get out!" Although she couldn''t see the man''s expression clearly, his voice was filled with murderous intent. Lily Hernandez was frightened, this person... was too fierce!!! She wanted to run away immediately, but the news from the hospital yesterday made her forcefully suppress her fear. "No!" Lily Hernandez gathered her courage and resisted. Yesterday, Lily''s brother had seen the news of her breaking off the engagement with Ethan Lee online, and his condition had worsened. Now, she had no choice, even if it meant facing Ethan Lee who had ruined her family and trampling her pride underfoot... She couldn''t run away! Seeing that she didn''t leave, the man immediately stood up from the ground. !!! He was about to kick her out. Thinking of her brother who was dying in the hospital, Lily Hernandez gathered her courage once again. She had to fight! As if making up her mind, Lily Hernandez took a deep breath and slowly unbuttoned her clothes, shattering her pride bit by bit. This is what Ethan Lee wants, isn''t it? Just like... getting bitten by a dog... Lily Hernandez bit her lip and rushed forward, embracing the man''s body. "I won''t leave!" The man''s body tensed up instantly, then, as if discovering a fun toy, he turned around and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared. Then, he pressed against Lily Hernandez''s forehead and groped up and down her back with one hand, stopping at her waist that he could easily grip. "Don''t regret it..." The scent of shower gel on his body enveloped her. Lily Hernandez looked up and met a pair of pitch-black eyes, and a nearly demonic face appeared before her. She stepped back instantly, and her mind suddenly cleared. He wasn''t Ethan Lee! He was a stranger, Michael Lee! Michael Lee and Ethan Lee are not related by blood, they just share the same last name and are referred to as relatives due to their families having some connections in the past. Although Ethan Lee''s real estate company is the largest in H city, it pales in comparison to the Lee Group. Legend has it that Michael Lee is the true power behind the Lee Group, the underground kingpin of China, controlling the majority of the country''s economic lifeline at only 28 years old. He was once the dream lover of countless young girls and their idol when they were younger. Unfortunately, a year ago, a car accident left Michael Lee paralyzed from the waist down, rendering him infertile, and severely burned his face. Since then, high society women in H city have avoided him like the plague. However, the man in front of her had intact legs and no scars on his face... She had only intended to gamble with Ethan Lee, but unexpectedly encountered Michael Lee! As she was pondering this, the world spun and Lily Hernandez found herself pinned beneath the man. Just as she thought she couldn''t escape, the man suddenly rolled to his side and fell into a deep sleep. Lily Hernandez immediately pushed the man off and ran away, but she suddenly fainted as well. This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. ..... After an unknown amount of time, Michael Lee opened his eyes and saw a strange woman next to him. There was a hint of cruelty in his eyes as he realized that those people really wouldn''t give up. As his gaze moved down, Michael Lee saw the woman''s face and his breath stopped for a few seconds. She looked exactly like the woman in his dreams! It was hard to believe that they had gone to such great lengths to find someone who looked so much like her... Sensing the burning intensity of his gaze, Lily Hernandez opened her sleepy eyes and met his icy stare. She panicked, wondering if he was going to kill her to keep her quiet. "Let''s talk later," the man''s cold voice broke the silence, before he walked towards the bathroom. Lily Hernandez breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn''t help peeking towards the bathroom. The frosted glass door revealed glimpses of the man''s perfect eight-pack abs. She smirked, at least she was in the presence of a wealthy nobleman among the dogs. Suddenly, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Lily Hernandez didn''t have time to think of any other ways, so she curled up on the bed, rubbed her eyes red, and pretended to be a naive and pitiful little rabbit. "Awake?" Michael Lee''s voice came from behind, and Lily Hernandez fell into an embrace, shrinking her body. Lily Hernandez''s thoughts were complicated, not knowing how to deal with this cunning old man in front of her. Just as she was stunned, MichaelLee spoke again, "Who sent you here?" Lily Hernandez secretly rolled her eyes, unable to show her dissatisfaction and anger this man. "Mr. Lee, I...I..." Lily Hernandez''s eyes turned red, a tear slid from the corner of her eye, and fell on Michael Lee''s hand. Lily Hernandez buried her head in her knees and choked, "I don''t know what to do now, I''m really sorry..." Michael Lee chuckled lightly, gently pinched Lily Hernandez''s earlobe, repeatedly rubbing it, and then suddenly exerted force, "Do you like me?" Lily Hernandez shook her head fiercely, "It''s all a misunderstanding..." "That''s why, why don''t you marry me..." Michael Lee''s voice was full of tenderness, captivating Lily Hernandez''s heart. "Just so happens that I need a Mrs. Lee." She never thought Michael Lee would make such a request. Lily Hernandez suddenly felt that she had gotten herself into trouble and weakly refused, "How can this be? If neither of us speak, no one will know about last night. I will never tell anyone..." The Lee family was at the top of the pyramid in Huaguo, and Michael Lee was particularly ruthless and unpredictable. It would be best to stay as far away from this dangerous person as possible! Once they were involved, there would be endless trouble... "Do you think you have the right to refuse?" Michael Lee said calmly. Lily Hernandez sensed the danger in his words. Yes, she had uncovered Michael Lee''s secret, and the fact that she wasn''t silenced was already a stroke of luck! Now she had no right to refuse... "I agree, but I have two conditions..." Lily Hernandez tentatively spoke up. "First, you have to save my brother; second, let me work and don''t restrict my freedom!" Once her brother recovers, she will leave with him. By then, Ethan Lee must pay the price. "Okay!" Michael Lee agreed directly. Lily Hernandez was a little surprised that Michael Lee was so easy to talk to. "However, I have a condition too..." Michael Lee turned his head, his eyes obscure, "Our relationship, I''ll be the one to decide. You just obediently be my wife and don''t have any other ideas." After finally finding someone who looked so much like her, how could Lily Hernandez easily escape! Although she was dissatisfied with Michael Lee''s conditions, she had ways to make him disgusted with her... After Lily Hernandez and Michael Lee made their marriage agreement, she felt the man behind her body was feeling a bit strange. Her heart trembled, and she stuttered, "I... have to go to class later..." Could you please control yourself!!! Michael Lee''s fingertips traced around her hair, and he directly exposed her, "Aren''t you graduating soon? Don''t lie to me!" Goddesss Substitute "But I... um..." Lily Hernandez tried to say that she had not fully recovered yet, but Michael Lee kissed her and swallowed her words. Unlike the kiss last night, which was all about releasing tension, today''s kiss was much gentler... Lily Hernandez was kissed by Michael Lee in a way that made her forget everything else. He held her in his arms as if to tell her that she was his and his alone. After what seemed like an eternity, Michael Lee finally stopped kissing her. He used his warm fingers to repeatedly rub Lily Hernandez''s swollen lips, admiring his work with satisfaction, and said, "Not bad!" Then, Michael Lee got up from the bed. How vulgar... The sudden disappearance of his presence made Lily Hernandez curse in her heart as she touched her lips. "This is my phone number, and it''s the same for WeChat. Remember our agreement!" Michael Lee pulled out a piece of tissue paper from the bedside table, wrote down a string of numbers on it, and handed it to her. Lily Hernandez took the piece of paper and looked at the numbers written on it. The paper conveyed dominance and decisiveness between the lines. "Hmm..." Lily Hernandez obediently nodded and sent a friend request in front of him, then put on her clothes and left. ... Not long after Lily Hernandez left, Michael Lee''s personal assistant John rushed over with Michael Lee''s childhood friend and psychiatrist, William. John spoke respectfully, "Boss Lee, the person who drugged you was sent by the old mansion. Do you want to handle it directly or..." "Send the person back after handling it," Michael Lee said sharply. William breathed heavily beside them, finally calming down. He was finally on vacation and was sleeping when John dragged him over. Capitalists were really bloodsuckers! He looked at Michael Lee carefully and said meaningfully, "When someone pulls me over, I thought you were about to die. Now it seems... things are going well!" "It looks like you had a good time last night, and the drug has completely worn off." As he spoke, Michael checked Michael Lee''s pulse, looking like he had everything under control. "But who is this woman? How can she catch Boss Lee''s eye?" "Lily Hernandez? I feel like I''ve heard that name before..." William laughed when Michael Lee mentioned her name, but then suddenly came back to his senses. He incredulously asked, "The Hernandez heiress whose family was ruined and perished a month ago? Ethan Lee''s former fianc¨¦e from Yongfeng Real Estate?" Although he knew Michael Lee was always a playboy, he didn''t expect him to do something so outrageous. To actually marry a woman he had never met before! This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. And this woman had been engaged to someone else before... Lily Hernandez was once the most famous socialite in H City. She was gentle, poised, and handled things with grace, making her a desirable daughter-in-law for many families. William had also crossed paths with Lily Hernandez before. "Her appearance..." Lily Hernandez''s face gradually overlapped with someone William remembered, and he finally understood Michael Lee''s reaction. So, he was collecting figurines! "Pervert!" William silently mourned for Lily Hernandez for two seconds. "The feeling is mutual." Michael Lee glanced at him disdainfully. "Did the old mansion agree to it?" Michael Lee lowered his eyes and said calmly, "They have no right to refuse." His mother had never cared about these things. As for the others, even if they wished to take his place, they still had to show respect on the surface. Moreover, if they angered him, those people could leave the Huo family at any time. Thinking of those cunning eyes, Michael Lee''s heart softened a bit. "John, find out the cause of the trouble in Lily Hernandez''s family and send it to me tomorrow. Also, clean up the villa in the Bund area." John nodded in agreement. William raised an eyebrow, it seemed that things would be very lively lately... Walking all the way to the hotel entrance, Lily Hernandez looked up at the sky. The glaring sunlight made her feel a bit dizzy, so she closed her eyes and told herself, "Lily Hernandez, you did well!" She calmed herself down and prepared to hail a taxi to the hospital when she suddenly spotted a convertible parked outside the hotel entrance. Sitting in the driver''s seat was her brother''s girlfriend, Emily, who was also her best friend from university. Emily was different from the innocent-looking girl in Lily''s memory. She was wearing a fiery red hip-hugging dress and her hair was curled into big waves, casually draped over her shoulders, making her look very glamorous. The owner of the car was someone she knew all too well - Ethan Lee, her ex-fianc¨¦ whom she had broken up with just yesterday. Only a few days ago, Emily had gone to the hospital to see her brother and put on a display of unwavering loyalty in front of Lily. And now, she was sitting in Ethan Lee''s car, who was responsible for ruining Lily''s family... How shameless! Although Lily was disgusted by Emily''s behavior, it wasn''t the right time to start a conflict. However, Emily spoke up first, "Since you''ve seen us, I have nothing to argue about. As you can see, your brother is now half-dead and has become a burden to me. He is not worthy of me!" With a loud "smack," Lily Hernandez slapped Emily directly in the face. "Sitting in a luxury car, have you forgotten where you come from?" she said coldly. "You..." Emily hated it when people brought up her background and was about to strike back. But Lily Hernandez had learned judo since she was young and couldn''t be beaten so easily. She grabbed Emily''s arm and tightened her grip, saying, "Until yesterday, I was still the fianc¨¦e of Ethan Lee announced to the public by the Huo family. You are just a third party. I doubt that the Huo family''s old lady has even acknowledged your identity. In that case, stay hidden and don''t come out!" After saying that, she suddenly let go of Emily''s arm, causing her to stumble a few steps. "What do you have that is better than me, other than a good background?" Emily stared at Lily Hernandez and suddenly thought of something, sneering, "You''re just a abandoned woman. Do you think the Huo family would want you after they don''t want me, especially after what happened last night?" Hearing this, Lily Hernandez''s breath hitched. "Last night... you arranged it?" Emily saw the look of disbelief on her face and couldn''t help feeling delighted. She looked Lily Hernandez up and down and laughed contemptuously, "It seems like you had a good time last night..." "You used to think of yourself as so high and mighty. Now you''re selling your body?" Emily looked at Lily Hernandez, whom she had trampled underfoot, feeling extremely satisfied. "The security guard should be your type. Do you want me to give you his phone number?" Security guard? Lily Hernandez suddenly understood and looked at Emily with a mocking smile. If she found out who that man was, she would regret it! "Since you like Ethan Lee so much, I''ll give him to you." Lily Hernandez said indifferently, "I''ve already called off the engagement and the Li family still doesn''t want you..." "Lily Hernandez!" Emily glared at her fiercely, wishing she could just cut her down with a knife. Why was it that Lily Hernandez was useless in every way, but the Li family still wanted her as a daughter-in-law? Why was it that despite her excellent qualities, the Li family didn''t value her just because she had no family background? Suddenly, she looked up and saw a figure. She immediately changed her demeanor, ran over to the person''s arms, and tearfully said, "Ethan brother, it''s my fault. It''s because of me that Lily Hernandez is blaming you..." Go to get the marriage certificate Lily Hernandez was amazed by what she saw. As she turned around, she saw Ethan Lee, dressed in a wine-red suit, walking out of the hotel. It seemed that the scumbag and the bitch had finally found each other on this day... It appeared that yesterday''s incident was most likely planned by Ethan Lee and Emily together. What kind of deep-seated grudge did she have against Ethan Lee that would make him go through such great lengths to take revenge? The Hernandez Group, her father falling from a building, her brother getting into a car accident... Ethan Lee, you will pay the price for this! Lily Hernandez clenched her fists tightly in secret. Ethan Lee completely ignored Lily Hernandez and hugged the fragile Emily into his arms, patting her gently on the shoulder and whispering soothing words to her. Then, with a look of disgust on his face, he looked at Lily Hernandez and spoke in a frivolous tone, "Lily Hernandez, you''re no longer the heiress of the Hernandez Group. Instead of holding onto your worthless pride, why don''t you kneel down and beg me? Perhaps...I might consider helping your half-dead brother live a little longer." "Hmph~" Lily Hernandez let out a cold laugh, her eyes slightly red as she looked down on them, and said indifferently, "Ethan Lee, I hope you won''t regret what you''ve done." "You dare to look at me with that kind of gaze! What gives you the right!" Ethan Lee despised nothing more than the disdainful look that Lily Hernandez gave him. Clearly, she should be kneeling down, begging him with a lifeless expression... A surge of anger rushed to Ethan Lee''s head, and he raised his hand high. "Ethan Lee..." A low, cold voice sounded, and Ethan Lee''s face turned white as the hand that was about to land on Lily Hernandez''s face was retracted. Emily turned her head and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes come out from the door. The man''s right face had a terrible burn, and although he was sitting in a wheelchair, the chill in his eyes still made people not dare to offend him. "Mr. Lee..." Ethan Lee respectfully greeted him. Lily Hernandez directly threw herself into the man''s arms, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed, "Michael brother, they bullied me... I''m so scared." Ethan Lee sneered inwardly. This woman really doesn''t know what''s good for her. Since he returned to the Huo family, any woman who gets close to Michael Lee disappears the next day. He glanced at Lily Hernandez''s stunning face and couldn''t help but feel a bit of regret. Later, he would still ask a favor for this woman and let her serve him well... Emily''s eyes flashed with resentment. This woman, Lily Hernandez, had actually climbed onto Michael Lee! She gritted her teeth and said with a smile, "Mr. Lee, please don''t believe anything Lily Hernandez says. Just now, I just wanted to clarify the engagement with her, but I didn''t expect her to curse at me..." "You dare to look at me with that kind of expression! Who do you think you are?" Ethan Lee detested the disdainful look Lily Hernandez gave him. She should be kneeling down and begging him right now... A surge of anger rose up in Ethan Lee, and he raised his hand high. "Ethan Lee..." A deep and cold voice sounded, causing Ethan Lee to turn pale and retract the hand that was about to slap Lily Hernandez. Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. Emily turned to see a man in a suit and tie coming out from the door. The man had a terrible burn on his right cheek and was sitting in a wheelchair, but the coldness in his eyes still made people afraid to offend him. "Mr. Li..." Ethan Lee respectfully greeted him. Lily Hernandez rushed into the man''s arms, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed, "Michael brother, they bullied me... I''m so scared." Ethan Lee sneered inwardly. This woman really didn''t know any better. Since he returned to the Huo family, any woman who got close to Michael Lee disappeared the next day. He glanced over Lily Hernandez''s stunning face and couldn''t help feeling a bit regretful. He decided to do her a favor later and let her serve him properly... Emily''s eyes flashed with resentment. How could Lily Hernandez climb onto Michael Lee like that! She gritted her teeth and forced a smile, saying, "Mr. Li, please don''t believe what Lily Hernandez said. Ethan just wanted to talk to her about the engagement, but she unexpectedly cursed at Ethan..." "Exactly," Ethan Lee echoed, "she''s a promiscuous woman. After we got engaged, she was still involved with other men. I couldn''t take it anymore, so I had to break off the engagement. I didn''t expect her to come and pester you, Mr. Lee." In just a few sentences, he painted himself as a good man who was deeply hurt. "Let go of her," he immediately moved to pull Lily Hernandez away from Michael Lee. But the next moment, John, who was standing behind Michael Lee''s wheelchair, grabbed Ethan Lee''s wrist, as if ready to crush his bones. "Mr. Lee?" Ethan Lee frowned and looked at the man in the wheelchair, wondering if... Lily Hernandez buried her head in Michael Lee''s chest, hiding her disgust. Ethan Lee had just been trying to please her family when he was first accepted by the Lee family, and now he was turning the tables... "I didn''t..." she whispered, trying to explain. Michael Lee reached out and rubbed her head, his cold face softened with tenderness. "Don''t be afraid." Ethan Lee froze. When did Lily Hernandez board Michael Lee''s ship? "Ethan Lee?" Michael Lee looked at him with a dark expression. "You''re feeling pretty bold lately?" Ethan Lee''s legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Stuttering, he said, "It''s not my business, Mr. Lee..." He had just established a foothold in H City and couldn''t afford to offend Michael Lee. "Emily, apologize to Miss Hernandez now!" A flicker of contempt flashed through Emily''s eyes. She couldn''t believe Ethan Lee was acting like a mouse in front of Michael Lee. Pathetic! But she had heard about Michael Lee''s methods and had to endure for now. "Lily, I''m sorry," Emily said sincerely, "please don''t hold a grudge against Ethan for my mistake." Michael Lee was now a useless person, and eventually the Lee Group would fall into Ethan Lee''s hands. She would take all the blame and Ethan Lee would surely like her more. "In that case, the Lee Group will find someone else to collaborate with on the project outside the city," Michael Lee said indifferently. "Mr. Lee!" Ethan Lee never expected that after three months of hard work and effort, the collaboration he had fought for was now gone. "Get out..." Ethan Lee unwillingly watched Lily Hernandez nestled in Michael Lee''s arms, gritting his teeth. If it weren''t for this woman, the company would have been able to reach a cooperation agreement with the Lee family and achieve great success! But now, with Michael Lee supporting her, Ethan Lee had to swallow his pride and leave with Emily in the car. "Are you done acting?" Michael Lee asked in a gentle voice. Lily Hernandez immediately stood up and drew out the last syllable, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Lee~" Michael Lee lifted her chin and squinted his eyes. As expected, some things were addictive and hard to quit. He stared at Lily Hernandez''s red lips and said meaningfully, "All of this requires compensation..." Compensation? Lily Hernandez''s ears turned red and she inexplicably thought of last night. "Mr. Lee, you should be careful with your indulgences as you get older..." She broke free from Michael Lee''s grasp and hurriedly left. Her small frame couldn''t bear it anymore. Michael Lee watched Lily Hernandez, who ran away faster than a rabbit, and couldn''t help but laugh. "John..." he thought of what Lily Hernandez had just said and asked, "Am I old?" ...... Lily Hernandez went to the school to collect her graduation certificate and arrived at the hospital in the evening. Standing at the door of the ward, she looked at her brother, Song Mingzhe, who was sleeping on the bed and sighed. Her brother''s waking hours were becoming shorter and shorter. Earlier, she asked the duty nurse and was informed that David Hernandez had only been awake for four hours today. Suddenly, a small ball of glutinous rice cake, barely half her height, appeared out of nowhere and hugged her thigh, calling out in a soft and tender voice, "Auntie..." Lily''s face brightened upon hearing the voice, and she immediately squatted down and hugged the glutinous rice cake. The little one was named Chenchen, David Hernandez''s biological son, who was just three years old. Chenchen was very cute, with delicate features and purple-blue eyes that were quite unique. However, David Hernandez had always refused to reveal his mother''s name, and judging from the child''s eyes, it was likely that he had been born out of wedlock while David was studying abroad. Chenchen was also very sensible and never asked who his mother was... Chenchen''s purple-blue eyes were now filled with mist, and he softly asked, "Auntie... is Daddy... is Daddy..." "No, he won''t!" Lily wiped away the tears on Chenchen''s face gently and softly said, "Auntie met a good person who will help us cure Daddy''s illness..." Chenchen was more precocious than most children. Lily took a long time to calm him down before he stopped crying. After putting Chenchen to sleep in the small bed in the corner of the ward, Lily gently closed the door and walked to the balcony, where her phone rang. A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, "Go get the marriage certificate." A dramatic showdown between two drama queens Lily Hernandez watched quietly as the sky outside gradually darkened, and her face was slowly reflected in the glass window. She smirked self-deprecatingly. Olivia, who came out of the elevator, saw her figure and rushed towards her. "Lily Hernandez, you insane bitch! Just because your two old folks died, you think you don''t have to pay us back the money you owe us?" She pointed her finger at Lily Hernandez''s nose and cursed loudly. For a moment, everyone in the hallway stopped to look at them. Thinking of her brother and little Chen Chen in the hospital room, Lily Hernandez tried hard to suppress her anger and said in a low voice, "This is a hospital. Let''s talk outside." "Oh!" Olivia intentionally raised her voice. "Now you''re ashamed? You better take out the money now! Otherwise, you and that sickly little brat won''t have a good life!" Then, as if thinking of something, she began to lean against the door of the hospital room, asking about the situation of the room one by one. "Where''s the sickly little brat and that bastard? They should be here, too, right?" Lily Hernandez couldn''t take it anymore and grabbed Olivia, staring at her fiercely. This aunt of hers had been pampered and spoiled since childhood, and was arrogant and willful. Her father had previously cleaned up many messes for their family. Later, when the Hernandez Group announced bankruptcy, her family had been clinging onto her father. Now that only she and her brother were left in the family, they still wanted to continue sucking blood... Lily Hernandez sneered, "I''m not as soft-hearted as my father. If you continue to cause trouble, don''t blame me for being impolite!" "Hmph!" Olivia continued to pester and make a scene in the hallway as if she had gone mad. "Don''t you have the courtesy to take a look? Your father asked you to take good care of me before he died." She broke down and continued to make a fuss in the hallway. "If it weren''t for your father offending someone, would my son have been framed and sent to prison? Your whole family is ungrateful!" "Brother, look at how your daughter is treating me!" "I risked my life to pull you out of the ruins back then, but now your daughter doesn''t care about my life or death!" "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn''t have saved you..." More and more people gathered in the hallway, and many in the ward were also awakened by the commotion, standing at the door watching this farce. The on-duty nurse also rushed over to try to persuade her, but to no avail. Lily Hernandez looked at Olivia sitting on the ground, with a cold sneer in her heart. The next second, she pouted, and two clear tears slid from the corner of her eyes. Lily Hernandez covered her mouth, trying not to cry out loud, and stuttered as she defended herself. "Auntie, how could you say that about Dad?" "Cousin once misappropriated company funds, but thankfully, Dad discovered it and covered the hole." Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. "At the time, Uncle brought his mistress home, but my mother resolved it..." "If my dad were still alive..." Lily Hernandez couldn''t help but cry out, "He would be so heartbroken." Olivia had never seen Lily Hernandez "throw a tantrum" in public before and was momentarily stunned, forgetting to speak. The people around them were not foolish, and they all stood on Lily Hernandez''s side. "Auntie, you''re injured, don''t make it difficult for the young girl." "Yeah, yeah, this young girl has it tough too." "We''re all family, don''t force each other, let''s go home quickly..." Lily Hernandez proudly glanced at Olivia and empathetically said, "I''ve had a tough time recently, please forgive me, Auntie." At this point, the hospital security guards also rushed over. "Hello, the hospital prohibits noise, please leave immediately." Olivia glared fiercely and broke free from the security guard''s grip, lunging at Lily Hernandez. Lily Hernandez didn''t expect her strength to be so great, and when she tried to dodge, it was too late. At this point, a burly man in a black suit appeared in front of her, grabbed Olivia''s arm, and threw her to the ground. Olivia was scared by the sudden appearance of this person and didn''t dare to act out again. When she was dragged away by the security guard, she was still cursing. After she left, Lily Hernandez began to apologize to the others, "Sorry for the disturbance." The people around them gradually dispersed, and Lily Hernandez only then noticed Michael Lee looking at her with a smile. "What are you doing here?" she asked in confusion. Michael Lee pointed to the wristwatch on his wrist and said in a calm tone, "Time." Lily Hernandez''s heart sank when she saw that the hour hand on the watch was already pointing to eight o''clock. "It wasn''t intentional," Lily Hernandez explained meekly. "You saw it yourself, that woman is crazy and I couldn''t get away from her." Michael Lee remained silent with a serious expression. "Is he angry?" Lily Hernandez didn''t know much about this man and didn''t dare to speak out of turn. "Let''s go, let''s get the marriage certificate," the man said coldly. After obtaining the marriage certificate, Lily Hernandez clenched the red booklet in her hand. She never thought she would actually get married and become someone else''s wife. Michael Lee stared at her and asked, "Wife, why didn''t you smile in the photo just now?" Seeing that the man was unhappy, she turned her eyes and leaned in to kiss his lips. Upon seeing this, John tactfully leaned back, quickly turned around, and closed the hallway door, while he stood guard outside. It was also the first time Lily Hernandez took the initiative to kiss him, and she slowly explored, following Michael Lee''s lead, as their lips met. After a brief surprise, Michael Lee was satisfied and slowly enjoyed her initiative. Although the girl''s technique was quite unfamiliar, it was enough to be heartwarming. He stopped teasing Lily Hernandez and reached out to pull her into his arms, launching his own attack. After Michael Lee left, Lily Hernandez looked at her swollen lips in the bathroom mirror, annoyed that this man didn''t understand how to treat a lady. How would she explain this to her brother when he saw her later... ... Lily Hernandez returned to the hospital room where David Hernandez, who had been sleeping, had already woken up. Seeing Lily Hernandez''s rosy complexion, he immediately understood what had happened. "Did you get a boyfriend?" he asked. Lily Hernandez was stunned and didn''t know how to answer. She had skipped the boyfriend part and gotten married to the man who helped them out. "Is it the man who helped us just now?" David Hernandez asked. Lily Hernandez remained silent. Thinking she was just embarrassed, David Hernandez said gently, "I''m not that old-fashioned. The engagement with the Huo family has been lifted, as long as that person treats you well, I will support you!" Lily Hernandez nodded and smiled, "He treats me very well." If she denied it, David Hernandez would definitely keep asking. "So, you have to listen to the doctor, or else who will walk you down the aisle!" David Hernandez rubbed her head and said, "I''m sorry, I should have protected you..." When he was a child, he once talked back to a teacher and was called in by his parents. His mother had a miscarriage on her way there. After Lily Hernandez was born prematurely and was weak, he made a firm decision to protect his little sister. But he never thought that now he would have to let his little sister experience all these storms and hardships... "I''m a heroine, of course, I have to be chivalrous and righteous..." Lily Hernandez''s nose felt sore, and she choked, "Besides, I''m not taking care of you for nothing, there''s interest to be paid!" "Okay, okay~" David Hernandez smiled and said, "Lil sis is the best!" "I just don''t know when Lil sis learned to throw a tantrum?" He teased her on purpose. Lily Hernandez rolled her eyes at him and said, "Shut up!" Even when they were both so sick, he still had the heart to make fun of her. David Hernandez raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, I won''t tease you anymore." Do you dare sign your name and see what happens? （1） As Michael Lee left, he gave Lily Hernandez a card as a dowry. Her mood was complicated, but regardless, David Hernandez''s surgery and hospital fees were finally taken care of. Lily Hernandez lay on the other bed in the hospital room, feeling exhausted. Gradually, she fell asleep. When she woke up, her fatigue had dissipated somewhat. She left the hospital after buying breakfast for David Hernandez and Chen Chen, and after briefing the caregiver who came today, she headed to the Starlight Entertainment for an interview. Starlight Entertainment was an old and established brokerage company in H City, which began nurturing stars in the 1990s and now has a complete set of production units, including actors, screenwriters, and directors. Its flagship drama "Wind and Moon" won one of the top three film awards in the country a month ago, and it has also cultivated several high-profile male idol groups. Lily Hernandez has always loved acting since she was a child, but because of her engagement to the Lee family, she chose to study television production in college. When she saw Starlight Entertainment''s advertisement for a talent agent a few days ago, she decided to come and give it a try. As soon as she entered, Lily Hernandez quickly attracted everyone''s attention. Lily Hernandez has a stunning and dignified appearance. Today, she dressed in a professional suit for the interview, but it did not hide her beauty. Instead, it opened up her aura. Starlight Entertainment was filled with stars, but Lily Hernandez''s appearance still ranked at the forefront. Her unique temperament set her apart from the company''s manufactured stars. "Hello, may I ask where the interview is?" Lily Hernandez politely asked. The receptionist girl saw a beautiful woman talking to her and her face immediately turned red. "Turn left on the second floor...there''s a sign." "Thank you." After Lily Hernandez left, the receptionist couldn''t help but scream: "So beautiful! Her voice is also so gentle, I declare myself as her first fan." "Save it." Another woman didn''t spare her feelings and shattered her fantasy. "She''s here to interview as an executive manager." "Ah?" The receptionist''s face was filled with regret. This beauty shouldn''t be behind the scenes, shouldn''t she bring joy to the audience? Why does she have to be behind the scenes? This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. What a waste! ... As Lily Hernandez walked out of the elevator, she ran into someone at the corner. "Watch where you''re going!" "I''m sorry..." After apologizing, Lily Hernandez looked up and saw a familiar face. Emily? What is she doing here... Although she was puzzled, she didn''t want to miss today''s interview because of this and turned around to leave. "Don''t you apologize when you bump into someone?" The young girl beside Emily said in a sarcastic tone. Emily changed her attitude from yesterday and spoke softly, "It''s okay, Lin. She probably didn''t mean to bump into you." Lin was a newly hired employee tasked with taking care of Emily and stopped complaining after hearing her words. Lily Hernandez arrived at the interview location and sat on a chair in the corridor, waiting. She had a vague feeling of unease. "Number 11, Lily Hernandez." Upon hearing her name, she quickly composed herself and walked over to the interviewer, who handed her a copy of her previous projects. After a few rounds of conversation, Lily Hernandez could feel that the interviewer was very satisfied with her. Suddenly, the girl who was with Emily earlier pushed open the door and whispered a few words to the interviewers. Lily Hernandez''s unease grew stronger. As expected, after the girl left, one of the interviewers closed her resume and regretfully said, "Unfortunately, you don''t meet the recruitment philosophy of our company. We hope to have the opportunity to work together in the future." "Thank you." Lily Hernandez politely smiled and took back her materials. As she walked out of the meeting room, she ran into Emily. Emily, dressed in a white long dress, sat on a chair not far away like a noblewoman admiring her masterpiece. Lily Hernandez felt disdain in her heart, gave her a cold look, and left. In the following hour, all the resumes she had submitted received the same response - rejection. "I''m sorry, you don''t meet the requirements of our company. Thank you for submitting your resume." "I''m sorry, your skills don''t match the requirements for this position." "The position has been filled. We look forward to working with you in the future." ... Lily Hernandez bought a cup of milk tea on the roadside to ease her worries. Suddenly, a girl with a round face handed her a business card. "Hello, I''m Mingwei, a broker at Shengtian Entertainment." Mingwei tilted her head and showed two dimples on her face. "You look so beautiful and have a rare temperament. If you''re willing, I''ll make you a big star!" Lily Hernandez''s brow twitched. She thought she had no hope of finding a job, but a pie had fallen from the sky. The heavens had given her a chance to pursue her dream again. "It''s a deal!" She agreed without hesitation. Mingwei was clearly stunned. After a few seconds, she extended her hand. "Happy cooperation." Lily Hernandez replied, "Happy cooperation!" After that, she followed Mingwei to Shengtian Entertainment and met several popular actors and actresses, as well as several young actors she had high hopes for. But she didn''t expect that the sweet-looking Mingwei was actually the director of the entertainment department, and when she got into work mode, she showed the potential of being a female devil... "Our company was established three years ago, but it has developed quite well. You don''t need to worry about our film and television resources. Here''s the contract, I''ll sign first." Mingwei took out a contract from her desk and quickly signed her name on the last few pages. "If there are no issues, you can sign it now." While they were discussing the contract, Lily Hernandez''s phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, she apologized to Mingwei and went outside to answer the call. "Mr. Li, what''s up?" "Dare you sign the contract!" Do you dare sign your name and see what happens? (2) As soon as she finished speaking, the person on the other end hung up the phone. Shortly afterwards, a message came through from the same number: "You have five minutes to come to the underground car park." How did Michael Lee know she was here? Lily Hernandez furrowed her brow in confusion. Could Michael Lee have sent someone to monitor her? A wave of anger rushed over her, but she knew she couldn''t confront Michael Lee directly. She could only set down the pen in her hand and ask, "Something has come up at home. Can I have some time to think about it?" Although Ming Wei was puzzled, she didn''t want to ask too many questions and nodded. "Take a week to think it over. If you''re sure, we can sign the contract." ... After leaving the office, Lily Hernandez hurriedly took the elevator to the underground car park. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, the headlights of a car suddenly turned on, shining into her eyes and making them sting. What a jerk. Does he even know how to spell the word ''gentleman''? Lily Hernandez cursed inwardly, but she still put on a smile as she opened the car door and said softly, "My dear husband, are you here to pick me up?" "Husband?" Michael Lee arched an eyebrow. But the slight upturn of his mouth betrayed his inner delight. Lily Hernandez confidently said, "I''m already married to you, so of course you have to change the way you address me~" "Or do you not like this way of addressing me?" She supported her chin with her hand and asked sincerely. Michael Lee beckoned her with a finger, and Lily Hernandez leaned towards him. The man''s low and sexy voice rang in her ear, and his warm breath made her heart itch. "I prefer it when you call me that at night..." Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. John, who was sitting in the front seat, immediately braked and quietly pulled up the partition in the car. How shameless! Lily Hernandez pretended to be shy and lowered her head timidly, saying, "Don''t say that... I''ll get embarrassed." Although she knew Lily Hernandez was pretending, Michael Lee couldn''t help but be moved. He pinched Lily Hernandez''s chin and made her look into his eyes. He said softly, "You, can only be mine..." At that moment when Lily Hernandez met his gaze, she instinctively felt danger and quickly responded, "Of course..." "Why did you come here then?" Michael Lee stared at the woman in front of him with deep eyes. She knew she had to pass this test! She couldn''t afford to provoke the shameless man in front of her, so she had to use her language skills to the fullest. Lily Hernandez did not avoid his gaze at all and pretended to be relaxed, saying, "In life, don''t we all need to have some small dreams?" "Do I need to reiterate our relationship? You have become my wife and need to listen to me." Michael Lee''s eyes gradually turned crimson, showing his strong possessiveness. Lily Hernandez knew that Michael Lee had a strong desire for possession and already considered herself his property. However, she didn''t want to be controlled by others forever. She had to seize every opportunity, accumulate her own assets, and get rid of his control as soon as possible. She suppressed her smile and calmly said, "This won''t affect...hmph..." Michael Lee was like being touched on the sensitive spot and directly covered her mouth, swallowing her words. This kiss was aggressive, venting his dissatisfaction. Lily Hernandez could only bear it powerlessly, afraid of completely angering him. After a long time, Michael Lee finally let her go. Lily Hernandez was prone to motion sickness when under too much pressure, and now it was rush hour, with the car moving and stopping frequently, the atmosphere inside the car was also extremely tense. She suddenly felt dizzy and fell asleep in no time. When she woke up, it was already dark outside. In her sleep, Lily Hernandez smelled the aroma of food, and her body moved before her brain did, following the scent out of the room. The moment she saw Michael Lee sitting at the table in a beige home sweater, she woke up. Thinking of Michael Lee''s gaze in the car, she couldn''t help but shiver. At this moment, Michael Lee had already taken off his mask and was sitting quietly at the table eating breakfast, every move showing elegance. His phone played ABB''s financial news, while her meal was placed opposite Michael Lee. If it were a stranger, they might think he was a gentle husband waiting for his wife to eat. Lily Hernandez suppressed her fear and moved her dinner to sit next to Michael Lee, like a groveling dog. Maybe this would please him... "Your chef makes delicious food!" She exaggerated her expression. Michael Lee didn''t say anything and just stood up. Lily Hernandez: "..." Was he still angry? Unexpectedly, the next second, Michael Lee walked out of the bedroom with a pair of slippers in his hand. Without shame, one can conquer the world （1） Lily Hernandez watched as Michael Lee slowly walked towards her and bent down to put on her shoes. At this moment, she was confused inside... Could Michael Lee possibly have multiple personalities? He had wanted to completely remake her when they were in the car, but now he was helping her put on her shoes. "Are you...alright?" she cautiously asked. His brain must still be functioning properly. Michael Lee still ignored her and continued to sit and eat. "..." Lily Hernandez rolled her eyes. He''s not easy to placate... Instead of being at an impasse, she decided to be straightforward and ask Michael Lee why he wanted to restrict her freedom. At that moment, the doorbell rang. Lily Hernandez looked at the fully capable and handsome Michael Lee and felt a pang of anxiety. The person coming to the apartment at this time was either an enemy or a friend. She was now tied to Michael Lee and couldn''t let the news of his good health be known by anyone with ill intentions. "I''ll go answer the door, you put on your mask first." Lily Hernandez quickly opened the display screen at the door. She was met with a familiar face outside the door - Ethan Lee''s mother, Ava Lee. She was still the same as before, covered in luxury goods, with her trademark big red lips and an upward tilt of her chin when looking at people. Lily Hernandez turned to Michael Lee to report, "It''s your sister (not by blood)..." It must be Ethan Lee who went home to complain, and that''s why Ava Lee came rushing over. Michael Lee skillfully reattached his scars to his face and calmly said, "Wait another minute before letting her in." This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. The tone made it seem like there was a ferocious dog outside. Lily Hernandez thought to herself. Between their conversation, the person outside had already become impatient, and the frequency of the doorbell increased. Lily Hernandez couldn''t help but shiver at the thought of being scolded every time she met this former mother-in-law. "Hello..." She tugged at Michael Lee''s sleeve with two fingers, and said weakly, "If she wants to hit me later, remember to protect me." Ava Lee was an adopted daughter of the Lee family, but when the Lee family moved their company from T city to H city, an accident happened on the way and Ava Lee went missing. When the Lee family found her, Ava Lee had already married a local thug, had a child, and was emaciated and sickly. Her only son''s whereabouts were also unknown. As a result, Mrs. Lee has always felt guilty towards this daughter. After Ava Lee was found, the Lee family obeyed her every word, and her temperament became more and more arrogant. But Ava Lee''s personality, arrogant as it may be, shouldn''t resort to violence against Michael Lee. Michael Lee pulled Lily Hernandez''s hand away and smiled, his voice cold as he said, "Nice try." Lily Hernandez: "..." "I''ll go open the door." As she opened the door, Ava Lee clearly paused for a moment before strutting in with her chin up. "Michael, you live in such a small apartment?" At this point, Michael Lee had already helped himself to the living room in his wheelchair and ignored Ava Lee''s words. He got straight to the point and asked, "What are you doing here?" There was no politeness in his tone. Ava Lee never liked Michael Lee''s cold demeanor, and seeing that he didn''t care about her, she immediately became angry. Why was Michael Lee able to sail smoothly for so many years, while she had to marry that beast in the first place? Now, he''s even blocking her husband''s career. She shouted at Michael Lee, "You really have made progress, Michael. Even sitting in a wheelchair, you have the ability to steal someone else''s fianc¨¦e." "And now you''ve kicked Noah out of the company. Are you so jealous of our happiness?" "Michael Lee, do you have any conscience left?" Ava Lee ranted at Michael Lee, venting her resentment. If it were anyone else, Michael Lee would have already thrown them out to feed the dogs, but this woman in front of him owed him a debt of gratitude. When he was separated from his parents and attacked by enemies years ago, it was Ava Lee who stood in front of him, protecting him with her life. He could only listen quietly now, keeping track of this debt on Noah. Michael Lee listened silently, not arguing, while Ava Lee''s words were like punching cotton, leaving her even more frustrated. Ava Lee took a deep breath and declared, "I warn you, immediately bring Noah back to work at the company!" Finally, Michael Lee spoke up. "That''s impossible." Noah had even used the name of the Lee Group to bribe officials. If they hadn''t caught it early, the consequences would have been disastrous. Not sending him to prison was already giving him face. "You... you..." Ava Lee glared at Michael Lee, wishing he would just drop dead. "If I had known this day would come, I would have left you on the street to fend for yourself..." Lily Hernandez, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn''t help but sneer, "If it weren''t for Michael Lee, the Lee Group would have disappeared six years ago..." Without shame, one can conquer the world （2） Six years ago, the Lee Group was in the midst of a fierce internal struggle that nearly bankrupted the company and resulted in Michael Lee''s father''s death. At the time, Michael Lee had already established a financial company overseas, but he immediately returned to China upon receiving the news and used extremely brutal tactics to stabilize the Lee Group in just six months. He also merged his overseas financial company with the Lee Group, taking the company to new heights. Ava Lee really thought her cheap husband had such great abilities? He''s just a freeloader! Michael Lee''s calm pupils trembled slightly when he saw her speaking up for him. "What did you just say? Say it again," Ava Lee threatened as she walked up to Lily Hernandez. But Lily Hernandez wasn''t afraid of her. Previously, she had been trying to please Ava Lee for the sake of their two families'' engagement. She met Ava Lee''s gaze with a sneer and said, "Without Michael Lee, do you think you and Noah are anything?" Just a vampire clinging to Michael Lee... Ava Lee was infuriated by Lily Hernandez''s words and immediately turned her fire on her. "Huh! Miss Hernandez''s integrity is indeed precious. Even if it means marrying a disabled and ugly man, you still want to cling to our Lee family." "You''re wrong!" Lily Hernandez''s eyes curved into a smile as she interrupted her. "What I''m clinging to is not the Lee family, but Michael Lee. Don''t try to flatter yourself." Ava Lee never expected Lily Hernandez, who had always respected her in the past, to mock her now. She gritted her teeth and said, "I heard that Miss Hernandez used to be gentle and polite, but it turns out it was all an act. Now that you''ve climbed up to Michael Lee, your lack of manners is finally showing." The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Lily Hernandez replied, "Manners are only useful for humans." You''re not human. Ava Lee retorted, "Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and see if you''re worthy of entering the Lee family''s gates." Lily Hernandez replied, "Don''t bother, I never had any intention of entering your Lee family in the first place. Just focus on taking care of your own husband and don''t embarrass yourself again." Ava Lee was completely incensed by Lily''s insults towards Noah. She raised her right hand like an angry mother hen. Lily Hernandez immediately hid behind Michael Lee and whispered, "Michael Lee, you have to help me..." Michael Lee''s eyes sparkled with amusement before he coldly looked at Ava Lee and said, "Go ahead, try to touch her." Ava Lee had never seen Michael Lee look at her with such a fierce and predatory gaze. She felt her heart skip a beat and hesitated, retracting her hand. Realizing she was intimidated by Michael Lee, Ava Lee''s face alternated between white and green. She stiffened her neck and said, "You have to let Noah return to the Lee Group, or else don''t blame me for not being polite to you." Lily Hernandez rolled her eyes in secret. Michael Lee gently patted Lily Hernandez''s hand to calm her down. Then he spoke in a cold voice, "The security team is here. Are you still not leaving?" Ava Lee saw that Michael Lee wasn''t going to back down and felt even more resentful towards him. But she could only leave with her tail between her legs. After Ava Lee left, Lily Hernandez immediately turned on her mocking mode. "Michael Lee, aren''t you very domineering in front of me? Why did you just act like a good baby?" she said with a sneer. Michael Lee stood up from his wheelchair, placed his right hand on Lily Hernandez''s head, and rubbed it twice. "Yes, I should thank Lily for defending me," he said softly. "Otherwise, I might have been eaten by her..." Feeling Michael Lee''s gesture, Lily Hernandez''s body stiffened and she avoided his gaze. "That''s not..." Seeing that Michael Lee was in a good mood at the moment and that she had just spoken up for him, she took the opportunity to bring up the company''s contract. She hugged Michael Lee and pleaded, "So, shouldn''t I get a reward?" Michael Lee raised his eyebrows. Lily Hernandez tentatively spoke up, "I really want to sign a contract with Shengtian..." I only want you As Lily Hernandez was speaking, Michael Lee''s face darkened and he exuded a chilling aura once again. Despite feeling the urge to escape, Lily reminded herself of her purpose and swallowed her fear. She said seriously, "Although we are married, I do not wish to rely solely on one man for all my assets. I must work, especially with the high cost of living nowadays. If you''re not willing, at least give me a reason why?" Michael Lee met her gaze and coldly uttered four words, "You belong to me..." Lily Hernandez was speechless at Michael Lee''s possessive behavior. She didn''t want to argue with him over this matter and decided to ignore it. She continued, "Mr. Lee, I''ve always been curious as to why you married me. I don''t have any commercial value to you. You can easily have any woman you want, so why did you choose me?" "Firstly, I don''t believe I''m significant enough to capture Mr. Lee''s attention, and secondly, it''s not because I''ve seen through your facade because you have a thousand ways to prevent me from doing so. However, since you have chosen me, I hope our cooperation will be pleasant. I don''t like anyone controlling my life, and if you insist on doing so, all you will get is a lifeless body." Michael Lee sat quietly and listened to her, then calmly said, "I only want you." Lily Hernandez £º¡°......¡±. "This man''s thought process is really not like that of a normal person, which makes it difficult for others to respond." Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. She understood that Michael Lee was treating her like a puppet, and her own thoughts were not important at all. No matter how many reasons she had prepared to persuade Michael Lee, she had nothing to say at this moment. The two fell into silence. After a while, Lily Hernandez slowly leaned forward, inching closer to the man. Michael Lee remained motionless, watching her performance quietly. Finally, Lily Hernandez stopped her movements just a millimeter away from Michael Lee''s face. Her crystal-like eyes met his deep and profound ones, and her red lips curved seductively, resembling a naive little fox. "Are you sure you don''t want my heart?" Then, Lily Hernandez suddenly leaned in and pressed her lips against Michael Lee''s, imitating his previous behavior and gradually deepening the kiss. The sweet fragrance surrounded the man, and Michael Lee''s hands secretly clenched as his breathing became irregular under the girl''s gaze. After the kiss, Michael Lee''s pupils became even deeper than usual, and his gaze on Lily Hernandez was particularly intense. Lily Hernandez acted calmly and softly said, "I promise that after we get married, I will strictly abide by our three rules, and will not accept inappropriate scripts. I will actively cooperate in front of others and will not expose your injuries. I will not let others discover our relationship and will not cause you any trouble. I am very particular about appearances, and with your status, looks, character, and ability, it won''t be long before I become a perfect lover.
"So, can you let me work at Shengtian?" Lily Hernandez spoke a lot, her throat was a bit dry, and she nervously stared at the man''s changing expression, waiting for a reply. Michael Lee''s gaze stayed on the girl''s face, staring at the fear and flickering flame in her eyes for a long time.
What magic powers does she have? The gaze seemed to penetrate through Lily Hernandez''s body, seeing through her heart. It felt like centuries to Lily Hernandez as she waited for the man''s reply, nervously staring at his changing expression. Michael Lee kept his eyes fixed on the girl''s face, staring at the fear and flickering flames in her eyes for a long time. Finally, he uttered a single word, "Okay." Lily Hernandez momentarily forgot to breathe. Did Michael Lee just agree? He really agreed! Excited, Lily Hernandez pecked the man''s cheek again and her almond-shaped eyes sparkled with joy. "I knew my husband is the best!" Outsiders always said that Michael Lee had a violent temperament and was extremely paranoid. She had prepared for a long battle, but who would have thought that he would be so easy to convince? None of the previously considered options, such as crying, throwing tantrums, suicide or even dying together, were necessary. It seemed that Michael Lee wasn''t as frightening as the rumors suggested. Reasoning with him was actually quite effective! "I''ll call Mingwei now and sign the contract tomorrow!" The girl''s face was filled with uncontrollable joy as she skipped back to the bedroom. As Lily Hernandez left his embrace, Michael Lee felt a sudden emptiness in his heart. He watched the girl, who was beaming with a bright smile in the bedroom, and unconsciously touched the spot where she had kissed him, his lips curling slightly. "Husband?" She even called him that so skillfully... At that moment, the apartment doorbell rang again, and Michael Lee''s phone received a message from William. Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. "Mr. Li, please open the door. I''m here to visit the lonely elderly!" Michael Lee ignored the message. As if anticipating his thoughts, William sent another message. [John is waiting to report to you about work!] Michael Lee had no choice but to get up and open the door for William. As soon as the door opened, William swaggered in without any hesitation, sat at the dining table, and started peeling oranges from the fruit platter. Michael Lee sat in his original position, took the materials handed over by John, and leisurely sipped his coffee. The man''s iceberg-like expression that kept people at a distance year-round had a crack in it, and a gentle aura seemed to envelop him... William almost dropped the orange he had just peeled in his hand. Gentle... could this be used to describe Michael Lee? "Looks like you''re in high spirits..." William smirked ambiguously, "Things have been going well these past few days." Michael Lee gave him a cold glance, his eyes resembling that of an owner scolding their mischievous dog. William: "!!!" But why did he still feel that Michael Lee was surprisingly humane at this moment? It must be because he had been subjected to Michael Lee''s violent abuse for too long on a daily basis. He must be hallucinating... William leaned in to take a closer look and noticed that Michael Lee''s complexion had become noticeably rosier today, as if he had just sucked in someone''s aura. Could that woman, Lily Hernandez, have such great power over him? William, who was usually immersed in gaming, fell into deep thought. Back in the bedroom. Lily Hernandez eagerly dialed Ming Wei''s number and, after the other party answered, exclaimed with excitement, "Sister Ming Wei, let''s sign the contract tomorrow!" "Has the matter been resolved?" Ming Wei asked. Lily Hernandez glanced at Michael Lee''s figure in the living room and replied with a simple "yes." Upon hearing her precise answer, the voice on the other end of the phone spoke crisply, "Okay, tomorrow at 3 p.m. Don''t be late." After a while, they discussed the details of the contract signing. Later, when Lily Hernandez walked out of the bedroom, she found two more people in the apartment. One was standing behind Michael Lee, with a well-proportioned face and wearing a black professional suit. Even his hair exuded a sense of rigor. It was John, who often appeared in the videos posted by the official media account of the Li Group with Michael Lee. He should be Michael Lee''s assistant. The other person was sitting next to Michael Lee. He had peach blossom eyes, wore a very flashy pink suit, had silver-white hair, and was peeling oranges while speaking. This person looked somewhat familiar, but for a moment, Lily Hernandez couldn''t remember who he was...
