The Golden Finger Contest encountered some setbacks during its schedule, but it still ended successfully.
Galaxy Studio became the champion of this competition, and of course, Zoey, in her own name instead of Star, became the world's chief designer.
The competition had just ended, and a fashion copyright auction began.
The other designers at Galaxy Studio also had a fruitful harvest, as every piece of work exhibited in the first and second rounds of the competition sold the clothing copyrights.
After the auction ended, all the owners of Galaxy Studio prepared to go to the hotel prepared by Leslie to attend the celebration banquet.
Leslie wanted to go with Zoey in a car, but when she saw Russell there, she smartly didn't act as a third wheel.
I intended to go with Leanna, but I found out that after she received a phone call, she angrily got into a black Maybach.
Leslie shrugged and could only leave with the other designers from Galaxy
The magnificent banquet hall, everyone gathered their attention on the stage.A man dressed in a suit and leather shoes walked up to Zoey and made a gesture of invitation.Russell naturally recognized this man, Reginald, the son of Count Janfield. He was handsome, charming, and very popular among women.His ink-black eyes gleamed with a cold light, and the depths of his narrow eyes were filled with a chilly demeanor.Toby looked as if he was enjoying the show, "Should they dance or not for the opening performance? It wouldn't be good if they didn't, with so many people watching!"Just as Toby was gloating, he saw Leanna on the stage placing her hand on the man's palm, saying, "I'll dance the opening dance with you. Zoey is already married, it's not appropriate."Toby was speechless.What do you mean Zoey was married, it's not appropriate?Did she agree? Wasn't she already married?The smile at the corner of Toby's lips d
Toby squinted his eyes, trying to see if she was joking.After a while, a mischievous smile curled up at the corner of his lips, "Alright!"After speaking, he tightly held onto her slender waist.In Leanna's pitch-black pupils, the handsome face of the man she had seen before was reflected. In that moment, she became flustered.She placed both hands on the man's chest and said, "I-I-I, I was just joking with you!""Woke up?"Leanna's lips curled into a smile, "Hmm, I sobered up. Did I say something nonsense just now?""You asked me for a kiss."She forced a laugh, "Haha, did I really say something so ridiculous? Um, thank you for bringing me back! You can leave now!""It's not absurd, I think it's very normal for a wife to ask her husband for a kiss."Leanna quickly covered her mouth and said, "I just vomited, it was so disgusting. You go out first, I'll freshen up."Toby raised an eyebrow, clearly showing
Private airport.The designers of Galaxy Studio boarded the plane.Leanna, however, did not see Zoey. Earlier, Toby had said that Russell and Zoey had already arrived at the airport, but now she did not see the two of them.She glanced at the man beside her and asked, "Didn't you say that Zoey and the others had already arrived at the airport?"Toby looked at the magazine in his hand and casually said, "Yeah, but they went on vacation to Aldmill, not with us."Leanna was absolutely furious, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"Toby glanced at her and said, "Tell you, and then you'll go be a third wheel again?"Leanna was speechless."Enjoy this trip with your employees! Besides, I will be accompanying you!"Leanna said, "... It's better not to accompany at all!"She asked, "Which city did they go to in Aldmill?"Toby shrugged, "They wanted to keep it a secret, afraid that you would disturb them."L
When Carolyn opened her eyes again, she found herself in a pitch-black place.The nose was greeted by a musty and damp smell.Her hands and feet were tied behind her back, her mouth was gagged, and she couldn't move her body at all.She was caught, it must have been Lola who did it, because she knew the secret recorded in the robot dog.I really didn't expect Lola and Ariana to be sisters, while Zoey turned out to be the real heiress of the Keller family who was switched at birth!This can also explain why the Harmon family didn't like Zoey so much.Zoey was really miserable and pitiful!After being born, he was immediately switched and has been oppressed by the Harmon family for so many years.Carolyn was feeling very regretful at the moment. Why hadn't she heard this recording earlier?If we had known earlier, Zoey's true identity would have been exposed, and she would have been reunited with her loving family, the Kel
Brodie had no hesitation when it came to this question.He said firmly, "If Lola really has a problem, as you say, and she has played such a game, we, the Keller family, have become pawns at her disposal. We will never condone her actions! Madeleine has not fully recovered yet. Her lung function is not as good as before. We, the Keller family, are not saints, we will not do foolish charity."Russell was very satisfied with the other party's response, "The Keller family was very reasonable.""That's for sure," Brodie sighed lightly. "I was actually thinking of having a family reunion party when you guys came back, to officially make Zoey a part of our Keller family. But with this unexpected turn of events, it looks like we'll have to postpone it."Russell said quietly, "It's not too late to wait until the truth is revealed."Brodie nodded, "Alright."The young nurse rushed in, "Prof. Keller, an accident victim has arrived at the emergency roo
Although Zoey's affair with Dr. Z was quickly exposed and cleared up, it was widely spread and even reached overseas.In the laboratory, the man looked down at Nelson, who had just been injected with the antidote, and his eyes gradually returned from crimson to normal.The man asked, "Are you awake?"Nelson's eyes were filled with despair. "Please, kill me!"The man chuckled, "Even if you didn't say it, I would have done the same. After all, the antidote had already been successfully developed, and you no longer had any value to exploit."Although he was determined to die, he was still fearful when it came to actually dying.The man took out a syringe filled with green liquid from the refrigerator and played with it in his hand. "Do you know? Zoey is still Dr. Z!""What? She, she is Dr. Z?" Nelson thought about how he had been tormented by that miracle doctor and he should have suspected Zoey all along."You said how foolish yo
Zoey said okay and started the car, "Where should I find you?"The other party hummed and said, "You should wag your tail first before speaking!"Zoey squinted her eyes and said, "Okay."She didn't think the other party would be monitoring her, it was just a trick to deceive her.However, she still did as the other party requested and left the car sent by Russell far behind.The bodyguard in the car behind called Russell, "Mr. Russell, I'm sorry, we didn't follow Mrs. Maddox."Knowing that Zoey wanted to break away from them, but they didn't dare to say it, they could only say it was their own fault.Russell, of course, could understand, "It's none of your business, she had the intention to get rid of you, how could you possibly catch up?"The bodyguard asked, "Shall we track Mrs. Maddox's phone location and follow her?"Russell wondered how it was possible that they had never been able to track Zoey's phone location, ev
The hospital operating room was surrounded by people.When the surgical light went out and the metal door opened, Zoey walked out from inside, her face showing a slight fatigue.Marlene tearfully held Zoey's hand and inquired about Carolyn's condition.Zoey nodded, "Succeeded."Marlene felt relieved and her body suddenly fell backwards, fainting. Braylen stood behind her and caught her just in time.Zoey quickly took Madam's pulse and let out a sigh of relief. "She just relaxed after being overly nervous, it's a process of releasing stress. Taking her to rest for a while will be fine."Marlene was arranged by Troy to rest in the vacant ward.Alonso's expression remained serious and tense as he asked, "Zoey, is Carolyn out of danger now, but does she have any aftereffects?"Zoey pursed her lips and spoke honestly, "Carolyn was hit in the head by a stone, causing extensive brain trauma, with the hippocampus, which controls memory
Russell couldn't explain it this time, he raised his hand and pressed his forehead.To avoid suspicion, Troy directly transferred to Dalton's hospital when he arrived.When Dalton entered the ward and saw Layne, his heart was deeply shaken.This child looks exactly like Zoey, identical in every way.No wonder Russell recognized this ghostly-looking Zoey at first sight.The little one blinked his big eyes and sucked on a lollipop, "Uncle, you looked so handsome!"Dalton approached and asked Russell, "Is this your son?"Russell nodded and asked, "Are you handsome?"Yasmine was speechless."Looking handsome!" Dalton wanted to say, the male version of Zoey looks really good, even better than Russell, but he remembered Russell's advice not to mention Zoey's name in front of Yasmine. He wanted her to remember on her own, so he held back the rest of his words.He raised his hand and rubbed the little guy's head, "Does it
Yasmine glanced sideways and caught sight of Russell rushing towards her, momentarily stunned.She stood up from her seat and said, "How did you come?"When Russell passed by her, he raised his hand and gave the woman's shoulder a squeeze, "There won't be any problem."She said to the nurse, "I have the same blood type as my child, draw mine."The nurse asked, "Are you the child's father?"Yasmine exclaimed!The nurse looked surprised when she saw Yasmine and asked, "Is he the father of the child?"Yasmine was about to say no when she heard Russell say very confidently, "Yes!"The nurse pointed at Yasmine and asked, "And what about her?"Russell remained calm and composed as he uttered, "My mother-in-law has some opinions about me because I had an argument with her daughter."Yasmine was speechless.Russell raised an eyebrow and said, "Right, Mom? Layne needed a blood transfusion now, saving the child is th
Yasmine was initially startled, and then she began to struggle, but it was in vain.Russell was very skilled at using tricks to immobilize her."What did you want to do?"Russell smiled in his eyes and said, "I just wanted to ask you why you didn't take my pulse before giving me an injection."Yasmine did indeed forget about this matter, "It was my mistake, I apologize.""Do you have something on your mind?"Yasmine pursed her lips and denied, "No!""Are you still reminiscing about last night?" Russell had been thinking about keeping his distance from her after last night, but his body and mind couldn't help but want to get closer.He couldn't keep his distance!"I didn't!" Yasmine's voice involuntarily raised a few decibels.Russell saw that she was getting a little impatient, so he said, "Don't be angry, I let go."He slowly let go, and Yasmine pricked the needle.The needle was just about to stop
The next morning.Yasmine woke up and realized that Layne was not by her side.She heard the laughter of children outside the window, so she got out of bed and went to the window.Russell was watering the roses with Layne.Layne held the water hose with both hands, while Russell bent down and held his little hand to help him control the direction. They watched as the water splashed around, and Layne laughed heartily.Yasmine's lips curled slightly, and this scene was quite heartwarming.But the smile on her face gradually disappeared, none of these belonged to her, what was she expecting and longing for?She wanted to find out as soon as possible if the Huffman family's tragedy was related to Russell.After she finished washing up, she reapplied her previous makeup and went outside the villa to call Layne back.Children are easily dependent on and attached to people, so she wanted to keep Layne away from Russell in order
Russell's eyes were deep and dangerous as he stared at the man. "Who sent you?"The gaze was filled with a strong sense of danger, making the man's scalp tingle. He had no doubt that if he didn't tell the truth, Russell would kill him in the cruelest way possible.He confessed, "Derrick! Maddox is your Maddox, Derrick."Derrick?Russell had never heard this name before, but the surname Maddox was somewhat intriguing.He looked at the other four people and said, "Is that right?"The other four people also nodded repeatedly in agreement.Russell stood up and turned around to look at the two people still talking on the sofa, "I'm leaving, Derrick."Troy furrowed his brows, "This name sounds familiar to me. I think I've heard it somewhere before."Braeden rubbed his chin, "I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before."Russell took off his white gloves and said, "The rest is up to you guys, I'm going back first."
Russell glanced at him and said, "What's the excitement? Have you been single for too long that you become perverted at the sight of a woman?"Troy chuckled and quickly pursed his lips, lowering his head.Dalton's mind seemed to be working particularly fast. He cleared his throat and said, "Have you improved a bit and started returning to your sarcastic state?"Russell put his arm around the man's shoulder and led him up the steps, heading towards the entrance of the hospital.Yasmine glanced at Troy and asked, "Who is he?"Troy respectfully replied, "He was Mr. Russell's good friend Dalton, and this hospital was opened by him."Yasmine nodded, "So this is the standard for every male protagonist in a romance novel, a doctor friend?"Troy was speechless.Yasmine shrugged her shoulders and quickly followed.As he watched the woman enter the door, Troy burst into laughter, but as he laughed, tears welled up in his eyes.
Yasmine looked over suddenly, and the man stared ahead, gripping the steering wheel with both hands.His hands were slender, and his knuckles were distinct, just like a perfect piece of artwork.His profile was too outstanding, with contours that seemed to be outlined with charcoal, sharp and distinct.The protruding Adam's apple showcased the man's sexual tension, faintly exuding a wild scent.The dim yellow light of the streetlamp shone on his face, casting alternating shadows and highlights on his features, creating a sense of mystery.Russell glanced at her, "Did you really think so?"His voice sounded like it had been rubbed with sandpaper, with a low and magnetic tone, which was very pleasant to listen to.Yasmine stared at him, "Russell, weren't you loyal to your wife? Then why are you flirting with me?"Russell knew that he had upset her, so he stopped teasing her. "My wife wants me to live a good life."Yasmine
Yasmine didn't expect Layne to say such words. She trembled her eyelashes and held the little one's hand back."Layne, marriage between a man and a woman must be built on a foundation of love and affection. It is a sad thing for someone to become a substitute for the person who holds love in their heart, as no one can replace them."Layne nodded, "I understood."He hugged Yasmine and looked at her with blinking eyes. "Mom, actually I think you are also pitiful, not knowing who Layne's dad is. So Layne thinks it's better for you not to look for dad and just stay with uncle."He sighed, "I don't want to think anymore, my brain capacity is not enough, the adult world is really too complicated. Mom, why don't you give me a bath instead! Layne is going to sleep!""Okay."Yasmine took him into the bathroom and gave him a bath.After coming out, the little one climbed onto the dressing table and sat on the chair, swinging his little legs.
"Go back to Serene Manor?" Yasmine furrowed her brow. Derrick is now more dangerous than Russell, so going to Serene Manor is indeed a good idea, but it doesn't feel right.She cleared her throat and said, "Those people were chasing after you, what did Layne and I do?"Russell naturally guessed her thoughts, "Can't you cure me?"Yasmine lightly chuckled, "I saw you were quite normal now, maybe you didn't need any treatment after all.""That was because you were there." Russell and Yasmine's gazes collided in the rearview mirror.Yasmine averted her gaze and said, "I felt like your illness had improved for a month or two, so Layne and I would leave by then."Russell fell silent for a moment and then said, "Okay."Layne's eyes rolled around. One or two months, huh! Uncle better hurry up and become a father!Yasmine said, "Both Layne's and my belongings are at Rivulet Villa, we need to go and get them."Russell saw through
