Mary couldn't help but feel guilty. She felt like she owed him a great favor."Stop being so pretentious!" Karen was outraged at the sight before her. She grabbed the vase beside her and hurled it at him."Fuck off! Get lost!""Karen, calm down!"However, Robert didn't dodge at all. The vase struck his arm, making him grimace. Yet, he stepped forward and held Karen in a tight embrace.He tried to stop her as he held her in his arms. A gentle kiss was planted on her head as he said gently, yet sorrowfully, "It'll be alright, Karen. I'm here for you."Struggling wildly, Karen tried to break free from his embrace. However, she failed to do so.Devastated, her eyes were bloodshot red. A tear trickled down her face.She suddenly felt so worn out. There was already no way out. In the end, she closed her eyes and gave in.Whatever. She would just let him have his way. He could do and say whatever he wanted. She would be fine with anything by then.Mary covered her mouth as she saw K
Diana owned an entertainment company. A lot of rising stars were signed under her company. Lately, her company had been topping the trending searches from time to time.It was always a hot topic whenever a new company entered the entertainment industry."Ced had invested in a series lately. He heard that I had started an entertainment company, so he let me take charge of the series instead."If the actors are performing well in the series, I plan to have them signed under my company."A tinge of joy flashed across Diana's face as she smiled. She was delighted as this was a sign of trust and support from her boyfriend.Smiling, she added, "He wasn't quite sure of how things worked, so I'm fully in charge of the project now. But I've come to realize that …"Her tone hardened as she moved the document toward Hannah. Her gaze was fixated on her as she continued, "Ms. Emerson, are you dissatisfied with the series?"Hannah was slightly stunned. This couldn't be it, right? Were things
Cedric said Hannah had been eyeing him for quite some time. She longed to be his lover.Also, he pointed out Hannah had been scheming and ostracizing her sister, Misty, since childhood.It wasn't uncommon for couples in the upper crust to engage in open relationships. However, would Hannah be like that?Diana became flustered in an instant."Well, it seems like your only source of information is Cedric. May I ask," Hannah said coldly, smirking scornfully at Diana, "If you ever bothered to verify what he said, Ms. Sorsby?"Diana lowered her gaze, remaining silent."I already know what vile things he's going to say without having to ask." Sitting upright, Hannah scoffed and continued, "Ms. Sorsby, you're a sensible one. Are you really going to be blinded by love like this?""What do you mean?" Diana's expression hardened as she snapped, "Ms. Emerson, I'm here for business, and the last thing I want is to have you criticize my boyfriend.""I'm just trying to help," Hannah replied
Diana could only respond mindlessly. She had no idea how she left the Winchester Residence. It was only a few years since she last met Darren. He used to be the intimidating one who yielded the most power in the Winchester family, and now he had become even more formidable.Watching the doors close, Hannah felt quite helpless."Why did you scare her?"She was impolite to you, and I only said that much. I've already saved her some face for Kenneth's sake."Darren lowered his gaze and said, "I won't let anyone bully you.""I wasn't bullied." Hannah couldn't help but feel amused. But at the same time, she was moved as well.It felt really good to have someone care for and cherish her. Her tone even sounded too gentle when she tried to stop him."I'm not an easy target. Darren, you're being paranoid.""For you, it's always better to be safe than sorry."Darren wrapped his arms around Hannah as he locked her in his embrace. His chin rubbed against the top of her head gently.Her
A man, fully dressed in luxury clothing, stood at the center of the heart shape formed from the candles.He had shades on, so his features could only be vaguely seen. His hair was slicked to the back in an exaggerated manner.A large bouquet of roses rested in his hands, while an exquisite necklace lay in the bouquet. The diamond on the necklace pendant was gleaming under the sun."Damn, what a sight!" Avery couldn't help but find it amusing.Chuckling, he commented, "Isn't it ridiculous to have candles in broad daylight? He didn't put in any effort at all."It was obvious that this man had learned these cliché courtship acts from somewhere else, and decided to put it to practice. He didn't even bother to modify them.However, it wasn't long before Avery found himself unable to laugh at the situation.The man in shades suddenly whipped out a microphone and put it near his lips. He couldn't care less about causing a disturbance as he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Taylor, I lo
Saige knew how to get his ladies. His romantic scandals had been circulating in gossip magazines for quite some time but he didn't shy away from it. Instead, he admitted that he was reckless. The highest level of deception is a mixture of truth and falsehood. He was invincible in terms of hooking up with ladies.Saige was feeling quite full of himself. Just as he was about to continue with his prepared lines, the weight of the bouquet in his hands vanished. Someone took it.It was like what he expected. A triumphant look flashed across his eyes, yet he showed a pleasantly surprised expression.Pleased, he said cheerfully, "Taylor, have you finally accepted me? I knew you had feelings for me. Rest assured, I'll definitely—"He couldn't finish his sentence. The bouquet, which was large enough to require both hands to hold, was hurled toward his face.As it zoomed closer to his face, he shrieked in fear, "Sto—Stop!""No one is going to accept you, for god's sake!" Hannah was furio
"What can you do?" Hannah sneered, delivering a kick to his stomach.She hissed, "Get lost! And don't ever show up again!""You—Just you wait! I'll make you pay for this!" Saige was so outraged that even his fingers were trembling.He glared at her hatefully as he scrambled into his sports car. The car sped away in an instant.He didn't know who Hannah was, but that wasn't the case for the paparazzi. They were all too eager for a scoop, so the flashlights never ceased until now.Taylor took a quick glance around her and hurriedly dragged Hannah to the set."Hannah, let's talk inside."When they arrived at the set, Dennis was briefing the extras for the scene. He beamed once he saw Hannah."Ms. Emerson, you're here!" He couldn't contain his excitement.Hannah's expression still wasn't that pleasant. She nodded slightly and gestured behind her."I haven't come to visit a lot. I'll treat you guys to some milkshakes." The crew cheered in an instant.Dennis' crew was incredibly r
Hearing this, Hannah was slightly surprised. "Do you really not have any feelings for him? You can be honest with me.""Hannah, what are you talking about?" Taylor shot her a look.Pouting her lips, she said, "I'm busy with my studies and work now. I don't have the time for a relationship. Besides, even if I were to date someone, it wouldn't be him …""Hannah, you don't have to worry." Avery couldn't help but chuckle.He commented bluntly, "Taylor's taste isn't that bad.""Yeah, I can clearly tell whether he's being sincere. I'm not an inexperienced girl."Taylor nodded seriously and added, "It's so obvious that he wasn't sincere in pursuing me. He might be putting on a big show, yet I know he's just trying to force me into accepting him."I won't be fazed by something like this, and I certainly won't pay him any attention."Hannah became more puzzled after seeing how sincere Taylor was.Since she knew what Saige was up to, why was she willing to be held captive by him in th
