Yet, when they were leaving, the scene was quite different.
"It seems Ms. Wang has quite the liking for Diana, doesn't she? Look at her demeanor, it's completely changed!"
"Life is full of surprises. With this turn of events, the Matthews Group is truly getting stronger!"
"Why do you think Diana acted like such a simpleton before? This quirk is really puzzling..."
"She was just playing it cool. Sometimes silence speaks volumes!"
...
In the midst of the venue, Claude reeled back his shock and turned to John.
"John, why didn't you tell us sooner that Diana is Wonder?"
He had worried for nothing!
John remained unfazed, "I didn't know that, either."
Soon after escorting Ms. Wang out of the banquet hall, Diana quickly returned.
She rushed over to John, lifting her dress and gazing up at him with eager eyes, resembling a child seeking praise.
John caught her meaning, a gentle warmth in his eyes
Returning this time, Max had been absolutely confident, claiming that both the Chinese business and the Main Street project were sure wins for him. Yet, both opportunities had slipped through his fingers! Without these two golden opportunities, Max's company's chances against the Matthews Group were practically non-existent. Joel's gaze shifted, a decision forming in his mind. He picked up his own glass, flashing a pleasing smile at John. "John, my trust in you is well-placed indeed. Congratulations, the future of Matthews Group looks as bright as ever!" Max's eyes widened, disbelief written all over his face. "Joel? What are you implying?" Was he planning to betray them? Joel turned to Max, his expression unyielding. "Max, as a member of the Matthews Group, it's only natural for me to be happy for its success!" There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. If he didn't stand by John's side n
Upon hearing this, Max let out a cold chuckle. A flicker of darkness passed through his sharp eyes. So, John, you have a vulnerability too... "True, that woman's belongings mean nothing to me. Eva, go ahead and give it to him. I've bought you so much jewelry, this one won't make a difference." Hearing his words, Eva took off the necklace in agreement. She casually placed it in front of John. Diana stood aside, almost fuming with anger! These two despicable individuals! Using John's deceased mother to hurt him, it's inhumane! Seeing the necklace in Eva's hand, a cold expression formed on John's handsome face. This necklace was a gift Max had bought for his mother when Max got engaged to her. It was the only precious possession she cherished immensely, too valuable to wear. She had carefully preserved it for many years. And now, it was hanging around another woman's neck! Sensing Jo
Ethan cast a complex glance at the rearview mirror. In the back seat, his enigmatic and frosty boss sat elegantly, legs crossed, dressed in a finely tailored suit. On his incredibly handsome face, a hint of aloofness shimmered. Perched on his thigh was Diana, dressed in a gown. Her high heels were abandoned by the side, her delicate hands encircling his neck. One of John's hands cradled her slender ankle in his palm, a touch of blush gracing her stunning face, adding a touch of allure. "We've arrived." Diana gently released her hands, turning towards John with a hint of guilt in her voice. In the back seat just moments ago, they had almost lost control. At the critical juncture, he had once again called off the ‘attack’. John bent down, carefully sliding the shoes from the back seat onto her feet and lifting her down from his lap. He was the first to open the car door and step out. When Diana finally dis
"How did you end up here?" As soon as he got inside, Diana couldn't help but ask. "It's boss's order." Mitbahl hurried over to the nearby table, poured himself a glass of water anxiously, and then chugged down most of the bottle with a series of gulps. "Boss knew you were in danger the last time, so he had me come over to protect you." While speaking, Mitbahl peeled a small orange by his side and popped segments into his mouth one by one. "John doesn't trust Misoup's strength?" "No, but Boss doesn't trust Misoup's intelligence!" Clutching a mouthful of oranges, Mitbahl casually grabbed the milk beside him and took a sip. After finishing, he looked around and his gaze landed on a piece of chocolate on the bedside table. Diana finally sensed something was off, "Did you come here to protect me or to mooch off my food?" Mitbahl's actions paused. Then, his eyes welled up with tears, looking at Diana w
Leo gave him a sidelong glance. "Are you sure? Or is your IQ just too low to notice?" "Go to hell!" Anthony patted both of them on the back, "Let's go there later. Come and meet new friends first." He pulled Vincent over, saying, "My childhood buddy, Vincent." Then he gestured towards Leo and Anthony, "My two teammates, you should know them." "Heh, big stars, shining so brightly now, who doesn't know you guys, Fly and Owen? My sister keeps bugging me for your autographs!" "Why bother with autographs? It's your birthday today, happy birthday!" Anthony took something out of his pocket and handed it to Vincent, saying, "A small gift with a lot of sentiment." "Hey, no need to be so polite. You even brought me a card..." Vincent chuckled, grinning from ear to ear, eagerly opening the card, only to find a birthday greeting card inside. However, it wasn't a gold card or a black card. It was a bi
Truth or Dare was a game where one person was randomly selected from the group, and the chosen person had to pick either truth or dare. Those who chose truth had to answer a question, while those who chose dare had to accept a challenge. If someone refused to answer a question or complete a dare, they had to down three large glasses of beer. No one said a word, which was a silent agreement. Vincent cracked his knuckles, grabbed an empty bottle, and swiftly spun it on the table. When the bottle stopped, whoever it pointed to would be the chosen person. After a few spins, the bottle slowed down and came to a halt. The bottle's mouth was pointing at Bob. "I'll go with truth," Bob said immediately. With a dare, who knew what antics Anthony, that tricky guy, would come up with. "I'll ask," as expected, Anthony seized the opportunity and spoke up. Narrowing his eyes, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Bob stared at him
"Let me pick. I'm familiar with Fly." The group turned their heads and saw Grace standing there in a shoulder-baring chiffon dress, looking playfully at them. Anthony leaned in closer to Ben and whispered, "What the heck, he's hiding a woman from us?" "Not that well, don't jump to conclusions." "Well, that's a relief. I heard she's way more adventurous than she looks. If you want to have some fun, go for it, but don't take it seriously." With that, Anthony pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Ben, "Be prepared, just in case." Ben looked and saw it was a condom. He was speechless for a moment, "... Get lost, seriously!" Vincent glanced at Grace and his expression suddenly brightened, "I remember now, you and Fly did a commercial together before. So, it's your turn~" "Yeah, Fly, I'll take the dare." Grace looked at Ben with a playful smile. Ben pretended not to notice. He was into cu
"You little rascal, where have you been? You don't even pick up my calls!?" Anthony's tone was light. "Come on, don't be mad, great beauty. I'm a hot celebrity now, super busy." "Don't you get all high and mighty! Just because you're a big star now, you can ignore people? I'm your mom, remember!" "You're my mom and a gorgeous lady, did I mess up by calling you great beauty?" "...You didn't mess up." Zoe on the other end of the line heard his words and sighed. "You little troublemaker, you're all sweet talk, but you can't even come visit me..." Anthony's voice was lazy. "I've already told you, I'm swamped. If there's something, just tell me." "It's nothing important, I just miss you..." Zoe said a bit grumpily. After a pause, she lowered her voice. "Anthony, if you have some time... you could also call your dad..." "Hello? What? The signal's not great here..." Zoe was furious. "You little brat! The moment
At another table, Frank sat staring at Liam in his smart suit, his brow slightly furrowed."Hey, been causing trouble lately?"Liam rolled his eyes, displeased. "No.""What's with the haircut then? Going for the military look?""My mom made me." Liam sipped his champagne. "She thought my old hairstyle looked too thug-like for Uncle John's wedding, so she took matters into her own hands.""No worries, I think this look suits you."Beside him, Rose tilted her head, looking at him with adoration."You know what? I think any look suits you, I just really like you.""Cough~"Liam choked a bit.He cleared his throat, "Don't say such things in front of everyone.""Sure, sorry~" Rose nodded obediently.Frank thought to himself, Damn. Even my bro's nephew is showing off in front of me? Can't let this slide!He turned to Jenny with a mischievous grin."Jenny, do you think my hairstyle looks good
Upon arriving, she put her hands on her hips, adopting an accusatory posture."Look at this, I left for just a moment, and you're already being targeted by women. How can I ever feel safe letting you go out?"John's deep gaze slightly lowered. "And you?"Diana looked down at the Red Rose in her hand, feeling a bit guilty."Uh..." She reached out and presented the rose to John: "It's for you."John remained silent.Instead, the little baby in his arms stretched out a hand, grabbed the Red Rose, and then happily held it in her arms.Diana chuckled, pinching the little baby's soft cheek."Oh, our Tiger likes flowers~"The little baby stretched out her short arms toward Kevin, earnestly offering him the flower.The little baby handed the flower to him!Diana was astonished."My goodness, Tiger, you can't even speak and you're already trying to win over little boys?!"Truly her daughter!Kev
Kevin pulled on his turtle shell bag strap, seriously said: "I really have to go now, remember, my name is Kevin Nelson."Saying that, he turned his head and was ready to leave."Wait a moment."Kevin stopped in his tracks, turned his head, looked at him with a complex gaze.What...Did his brother remember something, or was he reluctant to part with him?Yosef picked up a Red Rose beside him."This, take it."Kevin was somewhat surprised: "Give it to me? But I'm a man, why would you give me a rose?""It's not for you."Yosef handed the flower to him, glanced at the distant girl, and said: "It's for her."Kevin: "...I just told you, my sister has a husband and a child, are you still not giving up?"Kevin thought: Oh, no! My brother may falls again in the same place after losing his memory!"What are you talking about." Yosef interrupted his thoughts: "I didn't think about pursuing her."
Kevin let himself be led by Yosef's hand, and they both sat on the swing in front of the flower shop.Once seated, the little kid beside Yosef didn't make a sound.He wore a bowl cut hairstyle, carried a big turtle shell backpack, and lowered his head, lost in thought.Yosef occasionally glanced over at him.After a while, he couldn't remind silence any more."You..."Hearing his voice, Kevin immediately turned his head, his eyes sparkling as he looked at him.Full of anticipation.Yosef slowly opened his mouth: "This outfit... who bought it for you?""My brother, what about it?""To be honest, your brother's taste isn't great." Looking at the little one's green onesie, Yosef slightly frowned, "Ugly."Kevin: ……This outfit was something Kevin had insisted on buying for his fifth birthday.He also bought a larger size for Yosef, as matching brother outfits.Although Yosef never wore it,
Hearing this, Kevin covered his mouth: "You mean... my brother's mind is damaged?"Godber corrected: "This is called mental issues.""Isn't that the same thing?"Godber: ...It seems so.Diana frowned. "Yosef lost his memory? With so many enemies, your situation should be unfavorable now, right?"Godber: "Mr. Nelson had already anticipated this. Before completely losing his memory, he divided the remaining power of the Nelson family into three parts, assigning them to the other three members of the Nelson family to keep each other in check, while he decided to retire due to health reasons."Kirin nodded. "So, currently, apart from us and Patrick, no one else in the Nelson family knows Mr. Nelson has lost his memory, thinking he's stepping down due to health reasons."Kevin asked: "Then where is my brother now?"Kirin glanced at Diana and John beside him, hesitating whether to speak.But then he heard John calmly say: "Gri
John's voice had a lazy, sexy edge."Sleep a bit more.""...Okay."Diana turned over, adjusting to a comfortable position, leaning into his embrace.Just as she was about to drift off, she felt the hand on her waist start to move along her curves.Wherever it touched, it ignited sparks.Diana's eyes flew open, and she turned her head.Behind her, John still had his eyes closed, his expression as calm as if he were asleep.But the hand under the covers was very much awake.This beast.Diana turned around and bit his Adam's apple.John frowned slightly, then opened his eyes.His deep gaze locked onto the girl in his arms.As if capturing prey, with a wild possessiveness.Diana knew that look well.It was the same look he gave her last night.She squinted. "Again?"His response was another wave of kisses....Diana became an overnight sensation without an
Reeves turned back and glared at Morse.Wanting to say something to retort against this guy.But he found... There was nothing to say...He looked at the cold and noble man beside Diana and felt an extremely complex mix of emotions.From the moment this man appeared, he knew he had lost.Lost utterly.John slightly lifted his eyes and swept them over Reeves holding roses.Facing the man's icy and profound gaze, Reeves felt somewhat nervous.Just as he thought John would question him, he saw John casually withdraw his gaze and look at the girl beside him."Do you like it?"Reeves: ... This man actually completely ignored me!Being ignored hurt Reeves' pride even more than being questioned!It meant that this man simply didn't regard Reeves as a threat!Unable to help himself, Reeves said."Are you Miss Thompson's fiancé?"Hearing this, Morse behind him covered his eyes with his ha
Hearing this, Frank approached her and whispered, "Big sis, think it through. This guy doesn't seem too smart; having him around might lower our overall standard.""Don't worry, if you can work well in the studio, so can he."Frank: ???Reeves beamed with joy: "Then, Miss Thompson, please accept my flowers first. When I join the Blue Rose Studio, we can get to know each other better.""I welcome you to Blue Rose as a designer, but I can't accept your flowers or feelings.""Why?""Because I already have someone I love."Reeves: ......He opened his mouth slightly, then his expression fell."Who is it?"Reeves scanned the group behind Diana one by one.A bunch of top-notch handsome guys and beautiful girls almost blinded him.This...Each one was very likely!Reeves had a complex expression on his face: "May I ask impertinently, the person you like, is it a man or a woman?"Diana:
Faced with the relentless questions from the reporters, Diana remained calm.She nodded."The name Blue Rose does hold a special meaning for me. As for Reeves, I'm not familiar with him; I have nothing to say.""Miss Thompson, you're so young and accomplished; how about your love life? Do you have a boyfriend?"Hearing this, Ben immediately stepped forward."This is Diana's privacy; we refuse to answer!"The reporters were taken aback for a moment.Everyone stared at Ben wearing a hat; suddenly, excitement surged: "Isn’t this Big Star Fly? Why did he suddenly appear here?"Someone seemed to realize something."Could it be that Fly and Thompson are a couple?!""You're talking nonsense! Diana is my biological sister; stop spouting rubbish here! And this is my girlfriend!"Saying that, Ben pulled Liora over and tightly grasped her hand."This is my girlfriend; Diana is my sister, got it?!"Hearin
