"Yeah, there's some business to handle in Northern Europe, might take about a week," he explained.
Hearing this, Diana calculated the dates. It seemed like he might not be back before Christmas.
She felt a twinge of disappointment. After all, it would have been their first Christmas together.
The black Bentley glided smoothly along the road. As they passed by a five-star hotel, Diana noticed several luxury cars parked outside.
John cast a brief, cold glance at them before redirecting his attention, pulling Diana closer, and continuing their journey in the car.
The people who had just exited the hotel also caught sight of the limited-edition black Bentley.
In Cloud City, only John owned such a car.
Charlotte's gaze flickered, locking onto the passing car. Although it was just a fleeting moment, she clearly saw two people in the back seat.
Instantly, her eyes hardened, revealing a hint of coldness.
Someone nearby
But little did he know, he would receive a round of societal beatdown instead. "You were like something out of a horror movie just now. You're lucky I didn't kill you." Diana gently patted her heart, which had nearly stopped in fear. She reached into the nearby drawer, took out her wallet, and handed him a few bills, saying, "Here, a hundred bucks a kick. These two thousand can be your medical expenses." Mitbahl's eyes lit up. He reached out, took the money, and looked at Diana excitedly. "Ma'am... I just had an immature idea!" "Since it's immature, maybe you shouldn't say it," Diana replied. "No! This is important!" Mitbahl insisted. Suddenly, Mitbahl took off his jacket and stood in front of Diana, brimming with excitement. "Ma'am, I want to make some money from you." Diana hesitated for a moment and then took out her phone, preparing to call John. "I'm going to tell John that you tried to seduce me," she said
Maddie huffed, "Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll investigate on my own when I recover. I'll find out who..." "You're not allowed to investigate!" Hearing this, Serena became quite agitated. She reached out and grabbed Maddie's collar. "Maddie, you have to listen to me. The other party is not someone you can mess with. If we get involved, it won't just be a matter of connections; we'll have major trouble on our hands. Do you understand?" Maddie's nervousness grew in response to her mother's reaction. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright." Upon hearing Maddie's agreement, Serena finally relaxed. Maddie furrowed her brow, however, her curiosity not diminishing. Who could it be? Serena's efforts to keep her in the dark only fueled Maddie's growing desire to find out. She was determined to uncover the truth. ... After realizing that Jacob wasn't the one behind Serena, Dian
In the Astronomy department, Leah tiptoed her way into Colin's classroom. Fortunately, she arrived early, and no one was there yet. Even though university seating was pretty casual, Colin, without fail, always sat on the second-to-last row by the window during lectures. That spot had practically become his reserved seat. Leah located that spot. She placed her already prepared belongings there. As her hand slipped inside, it suddenly touched something. She bent down to take a look. Well, well. There were already several love letters inside, along with a lovingly prepared breakfast. Someone had beaten her to it! She hesitated for a moment. Oh well, it's a fair competition anyway. After setting down her own things, Leah prepared to leave slowly. But after taking just a couple of steps, she immediately turned back and grabbed all the other love letters. The bre
Diana's intense gaze momentarily stunned Lily, but she quickly regained her composure. "I was just about to say the same to you. When the time comes, you better be prepared. The time limit is one week at most. If there's no substantial breakthrough in the Fly situation by then, I'll consider it my win!" Upon hearing this, Diana gave a cold, disdainful smirk. "As you wish." Since she seemed so eager to face the consequences, Diana was more than willing to oblige! Diana walked past her and made her way to the corridor outside. Once outside, she pulled out her phone and dialed Ben's number. But her phone displayed that it was switched off. Was he busy? Diana pondered for a moment, then sent a text message to Ben. After completing these actions, she didn't rush back to the classroom. Instead, she called another person. Soon enough, the call was answered on the other end. "Ms. Thompson?"
[Diana: I'm sure you'll shake off this scandal soon. Keep your chin up; you'll always be my SuperStar! Love you!] "This is..." Tears welled up in Ben's eyes. Ramingo, cigarette in hand, thought he'd seen something he shouldn't have. He became anxious. "Ben, what's wrong? Is it someone..." "I'm fine, really!" Ben wiped away a tear, his eyes shining. "I have nothing to fear. These minor setbacks can't break me! I am electricity, I am light, I am the only myth!" Ben's confidence soared. "What's there to be afraid of? I'm off to get some fried chicken now, to ease my nerves. Ramingo, see you later!" With that, he dashed away. Ramingo muttered to himself, "What a moron!" Ben's situation escalated rapidly. In just one day, the internet was flooded with news about him and Grace. Although the PR team at Royal Entertainment had been trying to contain the situation, their efforts seemed futile as the frenzy contin
"Ouch! That hurts!" Harper pulled back his hand, staring at the red mark on his hand, looking at Colin with resentment. "Colin, what's up with you? Weren't you always okay with me copying your notes?" "Yeah, so you need to be independent now," Colin replied expressionlessly. "Alright, I'll be independent next time. But for now, can you save a life?" Harper playfully looked at him. "Come on, Campus Hunk, when your bro's in trouble, you can't say no..." "Wasn't last night a pretty leisurely time for you? What were you doing?" "I took your movie ticket and went to watch a film, didn't you know..." Harper muttered. "Speaking of which, guess who I bumped into while I was at the movies yesterday?" There was excitement on Harper's face. Colin remained silent, his beautiful hazel eyes fixed on him. Harper felt an inexplicable chill. He straightened up. "Turns out, the one I gave the movie ticket
"Little girl, I'll be back soon," John said with a hint of playfulness. John extended his hand and gently ruffled her hair. It was supposed to be just a brief business trip. However, he found himself strangely reluctant to part with her. Every passing moment, he couldn't bear the thought of her leaving his sight. What should he do? He wished he could package her up and take her with him, keeping her by his side forever... "Oh, by the way, I've prepared this for you," Diana said, bending down and handing him a small box she had brought with her. "This is?" "It's a gift for you," she grinned mischievously. "If you ever miss me, just open it up and take a look. Hehe~" Diana looked very pleased with herself. "Wait until you're there to unpack it, okay?" John chuckled at her mysterious demeanor. "Alright." He accepted the box and passed it over to Jackson behind him. Then, he bent down and planted a soft kiss on her
"What's my attitude? Ramingo, you couldn't even manage your own artist properly. What right do you have to lecture me?" Townsend retorted. "I have Stanhope in my hands, and his popularity is on the rise. Even if Ben quits, it's a perfect opportunity for Stanhope to step up and form a new FOT!" Townsend sneered, "I guarantee that under my leadership, FOT will reach new heights." "Stanhope, that half-baked artist, can replace Ben?" Ramingo countered coldly. "You dare..." Townsend began, but Usher interrupted. "That's enough!" Usher slammed his hand on the table. "We're in a crisis, and you're still bickering! Isn't anyone going to propose a solution?" The Public Relations Manager spoke up, "We've negotiated with Grace's side, and we have two options now." "The first one is to go to court directly to clear Ben's name, but it will take a long time. The second one... they've proposed a condition. They can immediately end this scandal and cl
