John's phone rang.It sounded ear-piercing in the quiet corridor.Many members of the Lynd family were there in the corridor, aside from him, and that included Jean.Nana's attempt at committing suicide again deepened her animosity toward John.The moment she arrived at the hospital, she pointed her finger at John and threatened to kill him if anything untoward happened to Nana.The sound coming from his phone made Jean glare at him, but he did not really care about it.He knew that as long as Nana was around, the Lynds would not do anything to him.The Lynds knew too well how important he was to Nana, and they would not dare lay a finger on him.Conversely, should Nana die, he would definitely not be able to escape unscathed in the hands of the Lynd family.John fished out his phone, unperturbed, as he tapped on the notification.His thumb suddenly went stiff.For that split second, the photo in his phone became blurry.At the next moment, a commotion along the corridor sn
Right before she shut her eyes, she looked weakly at John.A smile of victory crept up her lips.Everyone accompanied Nana back to her ward.After a while, when Nana had fallen into deep sleep, the Lynds prepared to make a move."Come with me, Lucas," Jean said, her face dark with displeasure.The kind and tender look she gave Nana earlier had completely vanished. The entire atmosphere dipped, making one tremble in suspense.John followed Jean out of the ward and they stood along the corridor.The other members of the Lynd family stood nearby and looked on at both of them.Jean cut to the chase. "Lucas, my patience has reached its limit. If it weren't for Nana, do you think you'd have survived in the capital until now?""You've misunderstood me this time," Lucas said, firmly and unyieldingly."Misunderstood you? What exactly is your relationship with Cordy Sachs?!" Jean went straight to the point.She did not want to beat around the bush any longer."I admit that I had feel
Jean remained silent.Someone who could attain the position and power she had was certainly not simple.She would neither casually arrive at a conclusion about anything nor easily admit that she was wrong. Even if she was persuaded by another, she would not admit to it.She would only brush past the issue as if it were nothing.She said calmly, "I shouldn't be interfering in you young people's affairs, but you know very well that Nana's condition is not like any other ordinary person's, and we can't take it lightly. Whatever it is, I don't want something like this to happen again. It's getting late and you've been running around the entire night. Take the time while Nana is sleeping to get some rest.""Okay," John said.Jean left, and John heaved an inward sigh of relief as she saw Jean's retreating figure.He had to gain Jean's absolute trust at this point. It would otherwise be difficult for him to gain a footing in the Lynd household and do anything further.It was just that
"Yeah, I slept too late last night," Cordy said as she forced herself to sit up on the bed."Do you need to go back to sleep?" Zoe herself loved her sleep and hated it when people woke her up. "No," Cordy said. "I'm awake now.""Oh," Zoe sounded like she had more to say, yet she fell silent."What's up?" Cordy asked."Nothing much," Zoe replied. She did not know how to broach the subject."Just speak your mind." Cordy could see through Zoe in a minute.Zoe was not one capable of hiding secrets anyway.Unable to hold it in any longer, she then said, "It seems that Lucas is getting married to that heiress of the Lynd family?""Yeah," Cordy replied.She made herself sound indifferent to it."Don't you think Lucas looks a lot like John? Have you ever suspected…" Zoe halted mid-sentence.Cordy pursed her lips.She was wondering whether to tell Zoe the truth.After a moment's hesitation, she said, "I saw John disappear right in front of my eyes."Since John was not willing to
Zoe had always listened to Cordy's advice.She felt that Cordy's words always made sense.Cordy had suggested more than once for her to be with Jay. She internally rejected the idea and did not hold much hope for Jay.But this time, for some reason unknown to her, she felt a change of heart inside.Cordy was a good judge of character. If she said that Jay was a good man, he would definitely not be a crook.But the thought of how much Jay used to resist her advances…She felt so conflicted inside.Zoe sighed. "I'll give it a try."When she was unsure as to what her decision should be, she decided to heed Cordy's advice."Jay won't let you regret your decision," Cordy said with a smile."I hope so." Zoe did not dare to hold out hope."Since you're in the midst of filming, don't get distracted and go back to work.""All right, chat next time." Zoe made a move to hang up.After all, it was not too good for her to stay in the washroom for too long. "Oh yes." Cordy suddenly re
Jay came here to cook?He did not know how to cook and needed Bob and Cora's help for it?Jay's behavior with the Levines had never changed indeed.Just when Zoe was about to say something sarcastic, Bob walked over and said, "I'm teaching your husband how to cook.""Huh?" Zoe was shocked."What's with that look on your face? You don't believe that I know how to cook?" Bob said on purpose."No," Zoe blurted. "I've tasted your food before."The moment she said that, the atmosphere between them tensed up.Bob had learned how to cook for her when they were dating each other.Bob was naturally talented and everything he cooked tasted delicious, unlike her, who managed to screw up every dish she cooked."Didn't you whip up a meal for us the last time Zoe and I went to your house?" Jay cut in naturally.His acting skills…What a pity that Jay was not an actor."Yeah," Cora immediately chimed in.Cameras were surrounding them and it was easy for people to realize something was w
If she were honest, she would admit that she regretted it the moment she touched Jay's lips.That touch felt like lightning that jolted her awake.How could she take the initiative to kiss Jay?!If Jay instinctively pushed her away, would the act they worked so hard to put up over the past few days not all be in vain?!Even if Jay was professional enough to not push her away, she did it in front of so many photographers and even Bob…What she did was simply courting death.A large-scale, bloody social death.At that moment, Zoe had a strong urge to take her leave. Just as she was about to do so, a warm hand held the back of her head to stop her from leaving, as if knowing what she would do next.The next moment, he deepened the kiss."Mm!" Zoe's eyes widened.She stared at Jay's huge face up close.Did he stop aging at some point?How could a man over thirty years of age have such smooth and poreless skin? Of course, Zoe's attention wasn't exactly on Jay's looks.After
If they were not currently filming a show, Bob would really have punched Jay in the face.He would see how smug Jay could be!"Very soon, we'll be legally married too," Cora suddenly announced."Have you decided on a wedding date?" Jay asked casually.He asked it with a tone of superiority as their senior."Yes, we have. But we need to keep it a secret for now," Cora said on purpose.In reality, as a celebrity, there were many things that were out of their control.Cora could not announce anything of her own accord without her management company's approval."Yeah." Jay clearly knew the rules of the industry and did not ask any further."Hurry up and go back." Bob began rushing them.Looking like he did not want them around would be variety show fodder bound to go viral."No way," Jay said calmly. "We'll have lunch right here at your place.""I'd say, Jay Parker, that's quite enough! Putting aside the fact that you're Cora's uncle, we're peers!" Bob deliberately flared up.
