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!"
Makenzie had something come up, so she didn't go with Madeleine. Instead, Madeleine was accompanied by her assistant Ariana.After Madeleine boarded the plane, she asked the flight attendant for a blanket and then put on an eye mask to prepare for sleep.Woodmerrow is a seven-hour flight away from Splin Town. The plane arrived at 1 am, and it would take another half an hour to collect the luggage and go to the hotel.Because Madeleine was in a hurry and there were no good flights, she had to settle for this time.Fortunately, the first-class cabin was very quiet, and combined with the heavy worries she had been carrying these days, she fell asleep before the plane even took off.Ariana has been with Madeleine for two years since the previous assistant resigned due to pregnancy. She still knows Madeleine's temper and preferences quite well.She knew that Madeleine must have been in a very bad mood, which is why she chose this time to leave Woodmerrow.She watched as Madeleine's blanket
Madeleine's question made Ariana's heart skip a beat, and she chuckled, "I don't feel anything. Even though we are heavily armed, it is still possible for someone to recognize us."Madeleine thought it made sense, "You're right, let's hurry up and buy things. If we get recognized, we won't be able to leave for a while."Ariana nodded, it would be dangerous if she encountered another crazy person like Callie or if a hater caused harm to Madeleine.Although she knew that Kristian and Bryan had been following them, it still couldn't guarantee their safety.Madeleine bought a lot of things, some of which cost quite a bit, which made her feel very accomplished.She and Ariana walked along the old street towards the exit, carrying bags and packages, getting ready to go back to the hotel, after all, it was inevitable to be recognized if they ate here.Suddenly, the sound of a motorcycle came roaring.The bustling crowd screamed in panic and scattered.Madeleine reacted quickly, and Ariana, w
Karter repeatedly insisted on not going to the hospital, so Ariana went to the pharmacy and bought disinfectant and anti-inflammatory medicine. They both returned to the hotel together.Karter came with Madeleine, so they stayed in the same hotel but on different floors.The three of them came to Madeleine's room together, and Madeleine applied ointment to Karter."Kristian, that man is really ruthless. Even though you had nothing to do with it, he still insisted on smearing you. Look at how he beat you, your mouth even got a cut."Karter furrowed his brows slightly, "I appeared too coincidentally, so he suspected me, but I don't blame him."Madeleine threw the cotton swab into the trash can and looked at the man, saying earnestly, "Thank you so much just now."Karter chuckled, "If you thank me, would you treat me to lunch?""No problem," Madeleine also smiled.At this moment, Ariana looked anxious and said, "Madeleine, this matter trended on social media today!"Madeleine had already
Karter's smile was very provocative, and he looked towards Madeleine's direction. "Look, Madeleine is watching us. If you keep holding onto me like this, she should come over."Kristian looked at the furrowed brow of Madeleine and pursed his thin lips.He let go of Karter, "If I find out that the rider you hired, I will definitely not let you off the hook!"Karter tidied up the crumpled collar of the shirt written by Kristian, a disdainful smile playing at the corner of his lips, "You can investigate as you please."After speaking, he put away his smile and walked towards Madeleine.Kristian looked at Madeleine and asked Karter what, then glanced at him, seemingly confirming that he was once again troubling Karter.Karter shook his head and chuckled, displaying a generous demeanor, which made Kristian appear quite lacking in grace.At that moment, Ariana came out of the guest room and the three of them left together.Kristian watched as the three people entered the elevator, then turn
Karter shook his head upon hearing the words, "Taking advantage of someone's vulnerability? I cannot do that."Carl was always worried for him. "She is Madeleine, from the Keller family! If you become a son-in-law of the Keller family, what kind of future wouldn't you have?""It is precisely because she is part of the Keller family that I cannot do this," Karter squinted his eyes. "Madeleine doesn't like me now, she is completely focused on Kristian. If I do this, it will only make her dislike and resent me, pushing her further away. I have finally managed to gain her favor, I cannot risk losing it over something trivial."He whispered, "Will that rider betray you?"Carl replied, "Don't worry, no matter how much they investigate, they won't find anything on me."Karter said, "That's good. I appreciate this."Carl patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, if it weren't for you saving me that year, I would have been killed by those gamblers long ago."Karter chuckled, "Let's not mention t
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
