Russell didn't know where a black scarf appeared from, and he blindfolded Zoey with it."Don't open your eyes and look, I will show you the gift in a moment."Zoey closed her eyes and felt the living room lights go out, everything was in darkness.At that time, human senses were infinitely magnified.Russell's footsteps faded away, and soon after, soft footsteps could be heard again, as if someone was walking on tiptoe."Russell? What were you doing?"Her eyes moved, wanting to take them off and look, but her wrist was grabbed by someone."Wait a moment."Zoey pursed her lips and smiled, "What's the matter? Why so secretive?""Okay, you take it off yourself."Zoey couldn't wait to take off the scarf, and the moment she saw Russell, she burst into laughter.Afraid of waking Layne up, she quickly covered her mouth.She cleared her throat and held back a laugh as she watched the man dressed in a maid outfit. His long legs were clad in black stockings, and he walked on tiptoes, wearing a
The next evening at half past five, a black Bentley parked in front of the ornate gate of the Keller's manor.The bodyguard called and said he had seen a suspicious vehicle.After hearing about this, Madeleine called Karter on the phone, and he answered quickly."Is the car parked at the entrance yours?"Karter lightly hummed, "I arrived a bit early."Madeleine stood by the French window, holding her phone and chuckled softly, "It's okay, I'll have the bodyguard open the gate for you, come in.""Okay."After hanging up the phone, Madeleine immediately called the bodyguard to have Karter's car driven in.She sat in front of the dressing table and started putting on makeup. After all, she was a public figure, so she had to put on a light makeup before going out.At the same time, Karter had entered the Keller Manor.Tabitha looked up and down at the polite and handsome man. She waved her hand and said, "Please have a seat."After thanking, Karter sat on the sofa, with Tabitha, Danielle,
Kristian's hand holding the knife and fork paused, he lifted his gaze to the person opposite him, looking displeased, "Were you following me?"Tiffany's lips curved into a beautiful smile, "Of course not, I came here with my friends. I saw you and Deegan Adkins eating here earlier and didn't want to disturb you. But when he left, I thought it would be a good opportunity to say hello to you."Kristian looked at her and found it difficult to swallow the food. He decided to put down his knife and fork and leaned back against the back of the chair."Now that you have said hello, you can leave."Tiffany, with a smile on her lips as if she couldn't see the man's annoyance, said, "Kristian, we have known each other for many years. Do you remember how I used to follow you like a shadow, but you always had a cold face? However, what you said that day was really hurtful, and I don't think liking you is something unreasonable. If you don't like me, you can just say it, and I won't bother you any
Madeleine saw Tiffany talking to Kristian with a sweet smile on her face, and her heart felt sour.Although she managed her facial expressions well, she was still caught by Karter, who suggested changing restaurants for dinner.Madeleine did not refuse, she nodded in agreement.The two of them left the restaurant, and Karter asked Madeleine what she wanted to eat.Madeleine had lost her appetite, everything she ate tasted the same. She looked up and saw the restaurant across the street, "Let's go to that one."Karter noticed her desolation and took her with him.When ordering, he also noticed that her mind was elsewhere."Do you like Kristian?" Karter asked directly.Madeleine suddenly lifted her gaze, "Did you figure it out?"Karter sighed lightly, "Your expression said it all. But it seems like Kristian has someone by his side now. That woman seems to be quite famous."Madeleine nodded, "Her name is Tiffany, the queen of variety shows.""You are beautiful and have a good personality
Madeleine pressed her temples and spent the night in a daze, dreaming about Kristian.Seeing herself and Karter trending, she let out a sigh.These paparazzi really have nothing better to do. They can even create rumors just from having a meal.She called her agent Makenzie and as soon as the call was connected, she heard a woman's roar on the other end."My ancestor, why did you only call back now?"Madeleine quickly moved the phone half a meter away from her ear, "Lower your voice, it's too loud.""Did you see the news?""I saw it, it was just high school classmates having a meal, the media always likes to stir up trouble. I have nothing to hide, I'll just find someone to handle the public relations."Makenzie felt a headache, "The company had already dealt with it, but rumors spread like wildfire. You better post a tweet to clear your name."Madeleine sighed, "Fine, I'll finish getting ready and then send it.""You send it now!" Makenzie was absolutely furious, "You have such a ner
Madeleine looked at her with a meaningful smile and said, "There were many opponents, please teach me more."She prepared to go back and study the role carefully, aiming to make some changes and convince the director to cut that scene.At that moment, Kristian walked over with his assistant Bryan."Congratulations on getting the role of the female lead."Madeleine inwardly sneered, as this was already a settled matter.If it weren't for Tiffany causing trouble, we wouldn't have gone through it again.Perhaps Tiffany was so confident because she relied on Kristian's influence.She felt nauseous with all the insincere congratulations now.However, he had just helped her with the testimony, and with so many people present, she couldn't just embarrass him in front of everyone.Tiffany walked up to Madeleine and said, "Kristian, what about my role as the second female lead?"Kristian didn't give her an extra glance and looked directly at Madeleine, "Your earring is in my car, do you want t
In the private room, the dishes were all set.Karter undid his cufflinks, rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing a strong and muscular forearm. "Since you've treated me to a meal, let me handle this task."Madeleine smiled lightly, "Okay, then I won't compete with you."Karter held the forks and dipped the meat into the barbecue. His fingers were slender, and his arm lines were smooth. The way he dipped the meat was pleasing to the eye.Madeleine propped her elbow on the table, resting her cheek on her hand, and asked, "Karter, why did you go abroad in the first place?"Karter's actions did not stop as he lowered his gaze. "You know, my family's financial situation wasn't good. Coincidentally, there was someone who sponsored me to study abroad. It was an opportunity that couldn't be sought after, so I went abroad. I only slept four to five hours a day, and the rest of the time was spent studying, all in order to succeed and return with honor as soon as possible."Madeleine nodded, "It
Madeleine came to her senses and, in the dim and unclear light, looked at the handsome face of the man, her eyelashes trembling.She pushed the person away, very angrily saying, "Why do you think you can take advantage of me?"Kristian glanced at the people in front of him and said, "Do you want everyone to know that we are here? And then expose that we were just kissing?"Madeleine was grateful that there was no one else around. She wiped her mouth forcefully and then tried to get up and leave.She could not leave, as her wrist was held tightly by a man.Kristian pulled the person into his arms, restraining her from moving."Eating, watching a movie, what's next? Will we do some of the things that you and I just did with Karter?"Madeleine listened to the cheerful laughter in the theater, but her heart was stung by the man's words, leaving a bitter taste.He always had the ability to make her unhappy!Madeleine exclaimed indignantly, "I don't need to report to you about who I dated!"
Due to health reasons, Viviana could no longer attend kindergarten.She missed her kindergarten teachers and friends very much. Her biggest wish was to go to kindergarten.Mya kissed her little face and comforted, "After Viviana gets better, she can go to kindergarten."Viviana lay on her shoulder, feeling a bit frustrated. "What if Viviana doesn't get better? Then she won't be able to go to kindergarten anymore."Mya's tears instantly flowed down. "No, Viviana will definitely recover. I still have to take Viviana to the amusement park to ride the carousel, buy beautiful balloons, go on a nature expedition to catch butterflies and fly kites, go to Icemarble to see the colorful auroras, and travel around the world. Viviana will definitely be fine."Viviana suddenly sat up and looked at Mya. "Mom, my previous wish was to go to kindergarten, but my current wish has changed."Mya asked, "What did it become? Is it a candy house, perhaps?"
Royce came out of the shower and looked at the woman lying on the bed with her back turned to him, there was no warmth in his eyes."I was next door, you can come and find me if you need anything."After saying that, the man left.Upon hearing the sound of the door closing, Mya slowly opened her swollen eyes and clenched her fingers tightly around the edge of the blanket.Royce did not stay overnight, indicating that he was just using her as a means of venting.You see, he was really good at insulting people.Mya understood her identity from her previous attitude, but when it actually happened, she still felt heartbroken.She sniffed her nose and got up from the bed, then went into the bathroom.Royce had just taken a bath, and the bathroom was filled with warm steam.Mya turned the knob and warm water poured down from above, but her heart felt cold.After washing, she stood in front of the mirror and raised her h
Royce nodded slightly at the woman dressed in a cream-colored Chanel suit, "Hailie has returned."Hailie bent her almond-shaped eyes and said, "Grandpa kept his surgery a secret from me this time. Grandma, my parents, and even the household staff all kept it from me. It was only when one of the servants accidentally let it slip that I found out. He is my only beloved grandfather, so of course I had to come back."Jonathan coughed and said, "Hailie's thesis defense is coming up soon, it's simply ridiculous!"Hailie chuckled lightly, "Compared to defending my thesis, my grandfather's health is more important. Even if I can't graduate, I can still accept the fact that I won't be able to take over the family company, right?"Jonathan laughed, "This girl!"Royce asked, "So Hailie was prepared to join the group?"Jonathan nodded, "He has this plan, but he is planning to let her start from being a supervisor. How can one become successful overnight
Mya exerted all her strength and struck Paloma's face.The latter's face was knocked askew, and she looked incredulously at the furious woman, "Are you fucking crazy?"Mya grabbed the woman's neck and said, "Whether I go crazy or not completely depends on your mouth. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will give you a hard slap!"She shook off Paloma and turned back to her workstation.Paloma covered her face and dared not say anything anymore, and the others also dared not make a sound.However, Paloma is usually quite overbearing. Those people may show a sympathetic expression on the surface, but deep down they are all secretly delighted.Paloma gritted her teeth in anger, vowing to make Mya pay for her actions!Mya sat on the chair and, after calming her emotions, began to study the wedding plans.After work, she took a taxi back to her rented house and told Evelyn about Royce coming to see her.Evelyn was very worr
Mya stared at the man who was so close, her heart started pounding uncontrollably.She suddenly looked towards the direction of the conference room door, afraid that someone might come in abruptly."What, afraid of others knowing about our relationship, being improper!"Royce's words were humiliating her.Mya struggled, but the man's hands clamped around her slender waist like a pair of pincers, rendering her unable to break free from him."If you keep moving, I can't guarantee what will happen in a while."Mya clearly felt signs of the man's affection, and she didn't dare to move. "Someone will come in a while, and I don't want to be surrounded by gossip.""Dare to do but not to admit, how should I count that night when you seduced me?"Mya pursed her lips and said, "I had too much to drink and just wanted to find a random guy. I never expected it would be you."Royce pressed his tongue against his molars, "Just randoml
The company boss, Owen Shaffer, came to Mya's desk, his face filled with excitement. "Mya, Mr. Keller from the Keller Group specifically requested you to plan his wedding. Quickly freshen up your appearance and come with me to the conference room to meet him in the best possible condition."Mya had thought that Royce would find her, but she hadn't expected to see him again so soon.She nodded slightly, picked up her handbag, pen, and notebook, and stood up, "Okay, I'll go now."After saying that, she left her workstation and headed towards the restroom.Owen walked towards the conference room.The employees at the other workstations began to express their dissatisfaction, their words filled with sarcasm and hostility."She looked like a fox spirit, and within just ten days, she managed to seduce Mr. Keller. She's really something!""Estimate the skills in bed must be impressive, otherwise how could Mr. Keller grace our company?"
Royce had never had this kind of experience with a woman in the past six years.On regular days, with a busy work schedule and the added task of searching for Mya, the desire was extremely faint.Even if there was a need, it was just a result of drinking too much and missing Mya, so I would take a cold shower to solve it myself.As for last night, having a relationship was unprecedented.At that moment, the sound of water came from the bathroom, followed by the sound of the door opening.He looked over suddenly, and his heart started pounding uncontrollably.A slender white leg of a woman stepped out, and then the whole person came into his sight.Royce's pupils contracted, and his heart stopped abruptly.When he saw that leg, even though it was only for a second, some thoughts had already formed in his mind.If Mya had just given in and apologized, he would have made up with her and forgiven her for what happened back t
Royce was wearing a white shirt with three buttons on the collar undone, revealing a section of his fair collarbone.He held a tall glass in one hand and rested the other on the armrest of the sofa, looking elegant and sophisticated.He glanced lightly at the woman approaching him, picked up a tall glass and took a sip of red wine, his voice cold and merciless, "Stay away from me."The woman thought that the man was indulging in desire, but she still approached him.Royce's cold eyes swept past, his voice low and deep, "Get lost!"The lights in the private room were dim, but the woman still managed to see the man's cold expression. She immediately got up and left.After all, she didn't want to be thrown out just because a man was unhappy.No woman approached Royce anymore, and he drank alone, drowning his sorrows.My friend Gavin Collier came over and filled his cup. "Did you find Mya?"Royce pressed his tongue against h
Joselyn's eyes were moist, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke."What was going to happen in a while?"Although she had drunk too much, her mind became somewhat clear after the teasing just now.Although she had a lot of intimate contact with Brodie, this kind of intimacy had never happened before.The feeling was like stepping on a cloud, as if a firework exploded in my mind.Brodie looked at her bewildered expression, with her Adam's apple moving up and down."Joselyn..."Although Joselyn had never experienced it, she understood everything.She bit her lower lip and lowered her gaze shyly.Brodie held her chin and looked at her, "Did you accept?"Joselyn's eyelashes trembled, "Accepted," she said.Brodie's eyes darkened completely, and he kissed the girl's lips, causing the enclosed space in the carriage to emit the sound of water droplets.The car stopped in the underground garage of Kerr
