Diana, that despicable woman!
How dare she treat her like this!
Maddie was so furious that she was trembling. She clenched her teeth tightly, biting her lip until a hint of blood filled her mouth.
But she still didn't dare to move.
She needed to leave this place immediately. If she were to meet John now, he might actually kill her in his rage!
"Oh no!" Jenny suddenly shouted, "Maddie is spitting blood!"
Diana turned her head and indeed saw a trace of fresh blood at the corner of Maddie's mouth.
"Someone help! Get Maddie to the hospital quickly!"
Jenny cried out in a panic.
Soon, Mr. Anderson arrived with two servants, hastily carrying Maddie away.
Diana stroked her chin.
Could it be that Maddie was so infuriated that she vomited blood?
"Ms. Thompson, the boss is upstairs, maybe..." Jackson walked up to Diana and whispered.
Whether Maddie was truly faint or pretending, he could sti
Tony Davis? A glimmer of excitement flickered in Maddie's eyes. He's the hottest actor right now! This is fantastic! She must seize this opportunity! If luck is on her side, she might be able to break into the entertainment industry and turn her life around in an instant! Maddie touched her face, her eyes gleaming with a hint of resentment. Once she climbs to the top, the first person she'll seek revenge on is that bitch, Diana! "Achoo!" Diana stood beside John, just stepping out the door when she sneezed. Damn it. Who's talking behind her back? "Are you catching a cold?" John turned his head and looked at her with concern. If only he hadn't let her take off her coat. "No, it's not that, John. Does Mr. Harrison have any issues with me? I feel like he's in a bad mood whenever he sees me." "No, he really likes you." "Are you sure?" "Yeah," Joh
Before the words even finished, a tall and gentle woman walked in from outside.She wore a sophisticated forest-themed suit and a pair of long boots. Her tea-colored hair flowed behind her, and her features were exceptionally beautiful.Even from a distance of over ten meters, Diana could feel the dignified elegance radiating from the woman."Hey, Charlotte!"Jenny's eyes sparkled with excitement as she put down her fork and quickly stood up, rushing towards the door.Before long, she returned, dragging Charlotte along with her.Noticing Diana's puzzled expression, Frank moved his chair closer to her and leaned in, speaking softly."You know Christopher Patel, the jeweler from Cloud City, right? Well, that's his daughter, Charlotte Patel. The Patel family has a close relationship with Mr. Max Matthews, so the Matthews family and Charlotte are acquainted.""Acquainted? In what way?" Diana asked, her tone full of meaning.
In an instant, the atmosphere at the table became even more eerie. The group of people closed their mouths that had hung open in surprise and fell into silence. Only John, as if ignoring everything, casually picked up the nearby gloves and began to peel the crab. Charlotte looked at him. "John, I remember you used to be allergic to crabs." Upon hearing this, Diana furrowed her brows. John are allergic to crab meat? She used to feed him crab meat... John remained silent and simply placed the peeled crab meat into Diana's bowl. "Eat more." At that moment, not only Charlotte but also the other members of the Matthews family couldn't hide their surprise. Is this the same cold and aloof John they knew?! The series of actions today had completely shattered their perception. Only Frank remained calm. Well, it's not that surprising. Mr. Harrison secretly patted his thigh under the
As expected, the faces of the people in the room resembled a palette of mixed emotions. Mr. Harrison couldn't have been happier when he heard those words. Working on it, huh? Just keep working hard, that's all. "Ahem, um, Diana, you're so thin. Grandpa will have the kitchen make you some good food to replenish yourself. You young girls are always thinking about losing weight. Eat to your heart's content, no problem!" Mr. Harrison said with a beaming smile. Diana, feeling guilty, lowered her head. "Grandpa, I eat quite a lot." John's gaze fell upon her. That was actually true. Jenny was stunned by John's words, unable to recover for a while. When she snapped out of it, she quickly looked at Charlotte beside her. Sure enough, although Charlotte didn't show much expression, her body tensed up like a tightened string, and her eyes were hollow, clearly struck by a significant blow. Jenny felt sorry for her. "
Jenny indeed meant no harm, but she was too naive. The concern was that she might be taken advantage of by some ill-intentioned individuals. Mr. Harrison held the chess pieces in his hands, unable to resist playing with them, his interest piqued. His gaze swept around the room, finally landing on Frank. "Frank, since you've come today, how about playing a game of chess with me?" "It's me again?" Frank groaned. He wanted to chat with his big sister! "You brat, what's wrong with playing a game of chess with me? Come over here!" Mr. Harrison exclaimed, clutching the chess pieces and happily walking towards the stairs. Reluctantly, Frank followed along. After taking a few steps, Mr. Harrison looked towards John. "John, why don't you take Diana out for a walk, and stay for dinner tonight as well?" Diana was about to decline, but Mr. Harrison quickly added, "I've specially arranged to have fresh jumbo prawns flown in from out
"Have you considered what I told you about the endorsement for Hero's Challenge game?" "I haven't really thought about it... Why are you so concerned about this?" She had been busy with university matters and hadn't given it much thought. Frank scratched his head irritably, "How can I not be concerned about it?" "I heard some inside information. If you don't agree, the officials are planning to replace you with another celebrity named Natalie Campbell. I've seen her, she's so artificial. I don't want her to ruin my youth!" As an experienced gamer, it felt like having your beloved game being taken away and raised by someone unreliable. Diana pondered for a moment. She was familiar with this Natalie Campbell, a terrible actress who had no notable works except for marketing herself all the time. "Are the officials blind? Why did they choose her?" Frank raised a finger mysteriously, "Natalie has influential backers
Although Diana had a basic idea of why John was here, she still asked as she watched the departing servant, "Um... Is this room for me alone?" "Ms. Thompson, Mr. Harrison said that this is your and Mr. John's room for tonight. The other guest rooms haven't been prepared in time. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." The servant smiled and quickly slipped away. Diana was dumbfounded. This reason is just too far-fetched! How could the prestigious Matthews family not even have a properly prepared empty room?! It seemed that Mr. Harrison wanted her and John to share a room, eager for them to hurry up and have a child! But why was the old man so anxious? Could it be that John's cryptic remark today, "Working on it," made Mr. Harrison feel the need to lend a hand to this couple? Diana turned her head quietly and immediately saw the tall and elegant figure sitting on the pink bed in the center, dressed in a bla
As John stepped out, he immediately noticed a little girl wrapped up in a bundle of blankets, with only her small head sticking out and holding a phone, seemingly engrossed in something.She looked incredibly adorable.John couldn't help but squint his eyes.When Diana turned around, she was greeted with a captivating image of a handsome guy who could easily stir one's heart, as if straight out of a magazine.John stood at the doorway, wearing a bathrobe loosely tied around his waist with a cord. His slightly damp hair clung to his head.His exquisite facial features were sculpted like a work of art, and his deep eyes resembled two solitary stars.Contrary to her expectations, he didn't flaunt his well-built figure, but rather dressed conservatively.In fact, only his neck was visible.However, in the current situation, this restrained allure was even more provocative than blatant nudity.The more modestly he dressed, th
