A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 218 Latest Scoop
"How wonderful!"Diana Sorsby didn't bother concealing her glee as she smiled happily at Cedric. "I just returned to Cybenea recently, and I didn't get to know anyone here. I'm so happy that you're willing to catch the concert with me, Mr. Garner!""I don't think anyone can turn a beautiful woman like you down, Ms. Sorsby," Cedric replied lightly. "If you ever feel bored in the future, feel free to come looking for me.""Really? Won't I end up disturbing you?"Diana's smile widened even more despite the question. She decided to drop a bolder hint at that moment."The thing is, my aunt wants me to come out and meet more bachelors. The only reason I came is to pass the time. But Mr. Garner, your outstanding qualities completely exceed my expectations."Diana seemed to be probing for an answer from Cedric, and yet her tone sounded flirtatious enough. "How is it possible for a man as outstanding as you to attend a matchmaking event in the first place? I thought you'd have a girlfrien

"Huh? Is she starting to put on airs before gaining enough traction and fame?""I don't really get it. Why would an ordinary actress like her be so mean to Ms. Nina?""Did that actress let what little fame she accumulated get to her head? Ms. Nina is Ms. Yakes' student, after all. Doesn't that actress know that she shouldn't be offending powerful people left and right?""I heard from an unknown source that Ms. Blake is apparently childhood friends with Ms. Emerson.""So, she really thinks she can do whatever she wants just because of her friendship, eh?"The two scoops weren't really that influential, but that didn't mean the netizens didn't notice them as well. It was just that Taylor was just a greenhorn actress without any past works on display. The reason why she accidentally became famous was all thanks to Hannah's fame.Thanks to the scoops, Taylor ended up losing many fans. Everyone's interest in "The Search" decreased quite a lot as well.Meanwhile, Taylor was busy com

"What do you know about it?" Henry snapped moodily after grabbing his phone. "Be it positive or negative news, the entertainment industry always needs news. "As long as there's fame, people could care less about the actual context behind the fame. Anyone can rise to their success as long as they're famous."Henry huffed coldly at that, anger soon shrouding his eyes. "I don't care if Dennis becomes famous or infamous. I can't let him rise to his success.""You're a famous director, Henry. Why are you still afraid of him?"Jessica smiled seductively as she leaned into Henry's arms and whispered into his ear, "Taylor's a no-good lazy bum, isn't she? This works in your favor!"Dennis' movie is niche and unpopular, to begin with. Not to mention, he doesn't seem to take his job seriously. No one's going to watch his movie once it's done, so you know he's doomed this time."If his box office results are shitty, then he can't ever rise to fame. You hear me?"Jessica was right. It was j

"I'd much prefer a new assistant. Ramona is no use to me now since she keeps crying all day."Misty frowned slightly, but soon she continued nonchalantly, "Get me an assistant who won't run her mouth. Ugh, Ramona seriously pisses me off with her stupid crying!""Yes, yes. Got it." Jessica's smile became stiff for a moment, but she still agreed to Misty's demands while keeping her voice nice and gentle.Only good-looking people with rich backers could become famous in the entertainment industry these days. Misty was now Jessica's cash cow. No matter how much Jessica despised Misty's attitude, she still had to treat the latter nicely because of Cedric's influence."How are you faring with the shoot so far? Is it tiring for you? Make sure to raise any problems with me if you do encounter any, alright? I'm your manager, so I'll definitely deal with them properly for you.""I'm fine." Misty didn't care about Jessica's efforts to butter her up. She shot a lazy glance at her phone, n

Now that Ramona finally got to leave the production crew, she felt that she could finally see the light of tomorrow. While she was immensely relieved, she couldn't help but burst into tears.Ramona was a naïve and gullible young woman. She had no idea that not every antagonist would blatantly display their vile side in this world.Naturally, she didn't know that the one she was currently thanking would force her into a situation so desperate that no one could save her."That's enough. Stop crying already." Jessica frowned impatiently at the sight of the crying Ramona.She continued impassively, "That's just how Misty is. She's not mean at all. Don't take her behavior to heart."You've worked hard during this period, so you're now entitled to a paid vacation. You should take this time to relax."Ramona didn't expect the company to have given her such nice compensation. She nodded heavily in response. "Thank you, Jessica."She was so grateful that she didn't know what to do to rep

"Did you hit your head?" The man chuckled disdainfully. "I never expected that a manager as wise and capable as you would do something that dumb.""What do you mean by that?" Jessica perked up immediately as she turned to look at him."A man can do anything for a woman as long as he likes her. Similarly, he can abandon her in a heartbeat once those feelings have receded."The man smiled as he tightened his grip on Jessica's hand for a moment. He continued smugly, "I received intel from a trustworthy source that Cedric Garner is about to get into a business arrangement with Diana Sorsby from the Sorsby family."Ms. Sorsby is no ordinary woman, you know. That diva you're managing is nothing before her."Was Misty nothing before Diana?Of course, she was worth nothing before the Sorsby family, which was one of the symbols of ultimate wealth.Jessica frowned at first, but soon her brows relaxed. A smile bloomed on her face as well. "Excellent! I'm sick and tired of Misty's diva-like

"I …" Darren opened his mouth, finally realizing how hoarse his voice was.His hand hovered inches above Hannah's waist. He wanted to touch her, but at the same time, he dared not do that."I know you didn't do it on purpose."Hannah decided to take the initiative this time by tightening her arms around Darren's waist. She rested her cheek on his chest while nuzzling against him affectionately. "Honestly speaking, it doesn't hurt that much."It seemed that Hannah had absolute control over Darren's emotions.Darren let out a silent sigh before resting his chin on Hannah's head once again. He could smell a light waft of lemon-scented shampoo coming from her hair, prompting him to breathe it in.A hint of aggrievedness tinged his tone as he explained, "The Moores only invited you to the banquet."They didn't extend the invitation to Darren.What did this mean, one might ask?If the Moores intended to affiliate themselves with Winchester Group, they'd have to invite Darren, who wa

"Nigel keeps reminiscing about his old friendship with you, Mrs. Winchester. He was worried that you wouldn't show up today."Catherine continued smiling sweetly as she addressed Hannah in an overly familiar fashion. "Oh, Mrs. Winchester! Nigel and I are so happy to see you here!"She kept hinting that she was Nigel's actual fiancée the whole time.Nigel's expression darkened immediately. He yanked his arm away before stepping away from Catherine. In an awkward tone, he said, "Stop it, Cath."A flash of embarrassment streaked across his eyes at that moment.Hannah was amused by the engaged couple's interactions. Catherine kept boasting about how amazing her beloved fiancé was. At the same time, she kept thinking that all the women out there were vying for Nigel.Meanwhile, Nigel put on a big show of wanting to stay away from Catherine, but he just didn't have the heart to commit to that action.What a hypocrite."It's only natural for Mr. Winchester and me to attend your engage

Darren didn't let her off easily in the end. Darren, being in his prime years, had maintained his purity and had never been involved with other women. This was a great feat considering that Darren had managed to maintain his purity after being with her all this time. Having just celebrated their marriage, he had finally enjoyed some moments of satisfaction, only to face the complication with Erica. Lately, Hannah had been in low spirits. Darren wouldn't be so brutish as to insist on intimate matters with her when she was in such an emotional state. He had to suppress his desires.However, now she took the initiative to seduce him.

Even with their current financial difficulties, the atmosphere between them remained harmonious and warm.The smile in Hannah's eyes deepened a bit.Finding her uncle was undoubtedly a joyous event for her. After all, they hadn't been in contact for so many years, and confirming that Elvis' family members were reasonable and good people made her even happier."Grandma has never given up looking for you all these years, Uncle Elvis."Hannah briefly shared her thoughts. "I thought of taking you and Lilian to see Grandma directly to prevent her from overthinking.""Of course! Of course!"Jennifer laughed and agreed. She said, "If it weren't for my poor health and being hospitalized, I would have gone to see her too."Things were settled.Jennifer still had one more dialysis session in the coming days. Thus, their meeting was scheduled three days later.Hannah and Darren didn't stay much longer. After arranging for Jennifer to move to a single room, they left.Before they took

Jennifee hadn't looked before, but as soon as she did, she was almost startled.Under the shock, she even failed to contain her voice and exclaimed in surprise, "Elvis?" Her husband, who rarely got involved in affairs and was always practical, was now standing up excitedly. His eyes were fixed tightly on the two entering the room. He seemed as though he was about to pounce on those people. Lilian was also stunned. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Elvis' hand, her face carrying a hint of embarrassment. She lowered her voice desperately and said, "Dad, what are you doing?" She sensed that the eyes of the entire ward had turned their way under Jennifer's exclamation. The extraordinarily good-looking couple also looked over. Her cheeks turned red. She felt both nervous and embarrassed. She forcefully tugged on Elvis' hand and whispered urgently, "Dad, hurry up and sit down." However, Elvis not only didn't sit down, but he took a step forward and called out

At Hopeldon's top hospital, Elvis sat by the bedside as he watched the summer breeze rustle through the leaves outside the window. A look of realization crossed his face. "Mom, I bought your favorite food."Just then, a clear and lively voice rang out. A girl with twin tails briskly entered the ward while carrying a meal with a smile on her face. "I was lucky to find discounted meat. I bought some. Mom, you have to eat more." The pale woman on the bed smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay, I'll eat more." After that, Jennifer noticed that Elvis, sitting on the side, was still staring blankly out of the window while lost in thought. Jennifer frowned. She said softly, "Elvis, set up the table. It's time for lunch. Elvis. Elvis?" "Huh?"Elvis suddenly snapped out of his reverie. Noticing both his wife and daughter looking at him, he forced a smile. He rubbed his hands and stood up. "Lilian, did you bring the food back already? Let's have lunch then!" "Dad, what ha

She gently touched the scars on her face through the veil and then, with a sweet smile, began typing on the keyboard. "It would be great if I could help you. I'll be waiting for you to marry me!"As she replied to the message, her phone vibrated again. Robert asked with concern, "How did you get hold of these documents? Are you in any danger? Your safety is the most important thing!"Seeing his genuine concern, Misty felt even more convinced that her choice was right. The smile on her face seemed impossible to fade. She had done her research lately. Cosmetic surgery here was not particularly advanced, and her facial scars wouldn't be perfectly repaired even with surgery. Meanwhile, Arovia was renowned for its excellent plastic surgery industry. Although dealing with her facial scars would be troublesome, new technology could provide a complete recovery. The only deterrent was the daunting cost. No matter how regretful Matthew might feel, he wouldn't spend such a large s

She was even draped in a thin windbreaker that covered her from head to toe.Despite the light and thin fabric, it was an autumn windbreaker. Wearing it seemed unsuitable for the current season. "The car and the house both have air conditioning. How could I get heatstroke?" Misty's smile widened. Her fingers entwined around the belt of the windbreaker at her waist and gently pulled it twice. She spoke softly, "But since you want to see what's inside, I'll take it off, okay?" Following that, she pulled off her belt before Cedric. The fabric of the windbreaker was silky. After the belt came off, she shuddered, and the windbreaker slipped down from her shoulders. She wore a semi-sheer dress that draped over her skin, gently showcasing the contours of her figure in a subtle and alluring way. Then, she raised her hand and took off her hat. Her long hair was neatly arranged behind her head, revealing her forehead and a pair of seemingly innocent eyes. Below her eye

Just as she wished, Cedric felt an immediate dryness in his mouth. As the male protagonist in the book, he had indeed lived a smooth life without experiencing many setbacks.He was always the object of admiration by others since he was young.When had he ever bowed his head to anyone? Even when he failed in the competition for the heir of Garner Group, he remained the second young master of the company. No one dared to say much in front of him. Only Diana was different.Since that day, Diana had suddenly become completely different. The way she looked at him no longer held admiration, but instead, it was cold, as if she was scrutinizing him. Although she still lived with him and would occasionally show him her gentle side, that sense of discordance grew stronger. The previous Diana used to be completely submissive to him. She would believe and actively solve all his problems. But now?He seemed to have become a plaything in her hands.He was summoned at will a
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 820 Do You Miss Me?
He was just a poor guy with nothing but debt to his name.He had tried to recover his past memories and find his roots.He had been searching for decades, and even after getting married and having a daughter, he continued searching while struggling for a living.He never expected that just when he was gradually forgetting about this matter, life would suddenly take a new turn.This seemed a bit too dramatic. He wiped his face in silence before saying, "Of course, no problem. Not only did you guys just help me, but finding my family has also been a long-standing wish of mine. I'm willing to cooperate with whatever you need me to do." He hesitated for a moment and then added in a low voice, "I believe your wife's grandmother is really old, am I right? From what you just said, it seems her health is not great. Maybe we shouldn't disturb her before getting the results." He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm in my prime. Even if the outcome disappoints me, it's fine. But old people

Hannah didn't expect him to also have felt a sense of familiarity.Upon hearing that, she felt her heart skip a beat, feeling like the truth was gradually coming to the surface.She actually looked a lot like Eleanor.If the middle-aged man was really her uncle, even if he had been lost since childhood, wouldn't he still have memories of his biological sister's appearance?"May I ask if you are a native of Hopeldon? Were you born here?"She pursed her lips, staring at him before asking in rapid succession, "Who else is in your family? Are your parents still alive?"She asked many questions in one breath, sounding urgent and nervous.For someone she had only met for the second time, asking such questions seemed overly intrusive and might make people uncomfortable.But she couldn't care less now.Finding her uncle had been her grandmother's wish for many years.As she grew older, Hannah didn't want her to have any regrets in this life.The middle-aged man was also a little sur
