At least some of the pent-up frustration had dissipated.
He waved to Mitbahl. "Come over here."
"What for?" Mitbahl asked, bounding over eagerly.
Jacob produced a card from his pocket. "Here's $1.5 million. Take it."
"Captain?" Mitbahl gasped, his heart racing.
Was he dreaming?
The notorious skinflint Captain Jacob was giving him money.
And so much of it!?
What was this?
This was love!
"Captain, you're treating me so well. Could it be you've finally realized your feelings and fallen in love with me?" Mitbahl teased.
"This money doesn't come for free."
"I know," Mitbahl replied, a sly smile playing on his lips. He leaned against Jacob's chest, his finger tracing circles on Jacob's chest. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. I take your money, and I'm yours, sweetheart."
Jacob kicked him out with a grunt.
"Find a legitimate excuse and return this money to Ms. Thompson. If
He raised his gaze and asked, "Colin, what's happened to Leah?" Colin paused for a moment. "Dean Phillips, do you know that Leah has a dual personality?" "Dual... personality?" Dean Phillips was taken aback, his eyes filled with immense astonishment. He only knew that Leah had struggled with depression, but it had been treated successfully. Now... a dual personality? Observing Dean Phillips's reaction, Colin made a judgment. He must be unaware of this. Colin took out his phone, retrieved his chat records with Doctor Langstaff, and handed the phone to Dean Phillips. As he glanced at the messages on the screen, a surge of emotions filled his eyes. Dean Phillips muttered, "How could this be..." His eyes were heavy with sorrow. Seeing this, Colin's expression relaxed a bit. He briefly explained Leah's situation and reassured, "Dean, don't worry. I will help Leah return to normal. There is hop
The woman before Ramingo had fair skin, an exquisite appearance, and a graceful figure. She exuded a touch of carefree charm and playfulness, which added a lively dimension to her already extraordinary beauty. Even someone accustomed to the beauty of the entertainment industry, like Ramingo, couldn't help but be captivated by the woman standing before him. He inquired slowly, "May I ask if you're Ben's sister?" He noticed a resemblance between her and Ben, and Ben had been talking about his sister coming to watch his rehearsal stage today. "Yes, I'm Diana. Nice to meet you, Ramingo, the talent manager," Diana confidently greeted him. Ramingo was taken aback. "You know me?" "Of course, you're the renowned talent manager in the entertainment industry. I've heard a lot about you," Diana replied with a slight smile. She remembered Ramingo, from a previous life, when he had been Ben's manager. During the difficult times when Ben fac
Ben hesitated for a moment and then said, "It seems like it..." Diana: ... "Ben, I'll call an ambulance for you." And so, what was supposed to be an exciting rehearsal turned into an accident. The group of friends accompanied Ben to Cloud City's top orthopedic hospital. This place was known for its high level of privacy, making it a preferred choice for many celebrities. Ramingo found a chief doctor for Ben and waited for the doctor to arrive. He rested his forehead on his hand, a heavy expression on his face. "I knew something ominous was coming..." As expected, trouble had found them. Ben lay on the bed, his face filled with pain. "Oh no, will this delay the concert?" They had been looking forward to this concert for a long time. If he had to cancel because of himself... He felt like he would rather die. "Diana, don't worry, let's see what the doctor says when they arrive," Diana reassured him softly,
Ben was caught off guard. "Take off... my pants?" "Aren't you the one with the tailbone injury? I need to examine it." "This..." Ben's face suddenly flushed, and he stammered, "Is it possible to keep my pants on?" Jephson glanced at him but remained silent. It was Diana who spoke up first. "Ben, doctors see beyond gender; there's no need to be shy. I'll wait for you outside." With that, Diana swiftly got up and left the room, leaving Ben bewildered. Now, it was just him and the striking doctor. "Um," Ben began, his gaze landing on the nametag hanging from her chest, "Doctor Jephson, I..." "Don't move," Jephson interrupted, reaching out to gently press his head down. She then grabbed his belt and swiftly pulled his pants down. As the cool exterior work pants came off, it revealed Ben in his teddy bear-patterned underwear. Jephson raised an eyebrow. "Quite lively," she remarked. Ben lay on
Anthony rolled up his sleeves and charged forward. Ben cut to the chase, "What the hell do you mean by 'my Diana'? She's my sister!" This was infuriating! If he weren't injured, he'd gladly give Anthony a taste of his own medicine. Just as Anthony lunged forward, the man in the fur coat raised his thick arm and shoved him forcefully against the nearby wall, causing Anthony to emit a yelp. "Ah, you bull-headed brute! Do you think you can match my strength? Just wait for me to teach you a lesson!" "You want to teach me? I'll break your worthless hand, you coward!" The man clenched his fists, ready to continue the altercation. But after taking a few steps, his arm was suddenly grabbed. Turning around, he saw a delicate and beautiful young woman extending her slender fingers to touch his biceps. She appeared frail, but strangely, he couldn't move a muscle. "Didn't I tell you to get out?" Diana's gaze darkened as she
Wait... Jephson is going to have to check this guy's butt too?! The thought left a tinge of displeasure in Ben's heart. Little did he know, Jephson didn't even raise her head; she simply scribbled a couple of notes on the patient's chart. "Go get an examination, and then come back for me to review." Ben: ??? Why did he feel so lost right now? After accompanying Ben through the examination, they all got back in the car, ready to head home. Leo asked, "Ramingo, what's the plan if our concert gets postponed? We suddenly have some free time, and we might need to arrange some new activities." Anthony, lounging in the back seat, said, "What kind of plan can we make? Let's take a break." These last few days have been exhausting, and they finally have a moment to breathe. He shifted his gaze to Diana. "Diana, now that I have some free time, where would you like to go? I'm here to accompany you, whether it's a pr
John's skin wasn't tan but rather fair. However, it didn't make him appear frail. Instead, it showcased alluring, taut lines that exuded strength. Diana's gaze locked in on the sight. She extended her hand, tracing the lines of his abs, running her fingers up and down. The more she touched, the more restless she became. John squinted his eyes, his gaze growing deeper. She didn't know how dangerous her actions were. "Well, you've got a great physique, and I'm quite satisfied," she said. Diana looked up, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous smile. John remained silent, simply watching her quietly. Diana's gaze flickered, finding it hard to withstand his intense stare. Even without speaking, she could feel the weight of his presence. Damn it. She was the boss now. She couldn't afford to lose her confidence. Diana tilted her head up and licked her lips. "Come a bit clo
It had been Emily on the call just now. Her words were filled with displeasure, and it seemed she might not bring along little Emily anymore. Lora walked over. "Scarlett, how could you speak to Professor Emily like that? Because of you, her reputation is at stake, and this time you've truly gone too far." "She's worried about her reputation? I've already tarnished mine..." Scarlett sat on the couch, looking indignant. "Do you still have the audacity to argue?!" Christopher stood nearby, his face filled with anger. "This time you've not only tarnished your own reputation, but you've also dragged yourself into international lifetime banishment. Even those elite heirs who were considering marrying into our family want nothing to do with you now." "Who needs them to pursue me? I wasn't interested in them to begin with!" Scarlett retorted, seething with anger. She was furious! Those playboys were nothing but
