James looked her over, thoroughly satisfied.
"What... What are you looking at? I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you!"
Wide-eyed, Leah glared at him cautiously.
Then she turned to Colin, "Colin, don't worry, I'll protect you!"
Seeing this, James finally realized something was off.
"You little rascal, what's going on here?"
Colin's eyes shimmered faintly.
Keeping it a secret was no longer an option.
He reached out, clasping Leah's hand. "Leah, you've got it wrong. He's my dad."
Dad?
The fierce old man in front of her was Colin's father?!
Leah's hand trembled.
Oh my gosh.
She just said she'd turn Colin's dad into a pig?!
"My dad and I were just fooling around, Leah. Could you go back to the room for a bit?"
Colin's tone was gentle.
"Uh, sure."
Leah hesitated for a moment.
She glanced timidly at James, then quickly averted her gaze and hurried
"It's not her job. Scarlett has her own assistant. Why give her orders?" Tony interrupted. Caught off guard, Gonzales faltered. Just as he was about to speak, Diana blinked. "By the way, what significant works has Scarlett starred in? Sorry, I've been around A-listers like Anthony and Leo too long to know much about these far-out Z-list artists." "You..." Scarlett seethed with rage. This oddball dared to mock her? At that moment, a guy hurriedly ran over. Wearing black-rimmed glasses, he had a very handsome face. It was Scarlett's assistant, Godber. He held up a costume. "Ms. Patel, I've ironed the clothes you wanted. Take a look, is there anything else that needs fixing?" Godber looked at her seriously. Seeing this, Tony's expression turned dark. "Scarlett, didn't you say the clothes were ready? Why send someone to the dressing room?" Upon hearing this, Scarlett felt embarrassed. "Maybe
Diana waited on the sidelines, casually waiting with crossed legs. Finally, Leo and the others took the stage. The scene wasn't lengthy, just a dozen minutes or so. The three portrayed the three brothers of a wealthy family from the last century. The eldest, Bailey, had a calm and gentle demeanor, while Leo, the second brother, was decisive. And the youngest, Anthony, was extravagantly carefree. When the three appeared, with Leo and Anthony's presence, Bailey seemed like the servant beside two young masters. The entire setup was totally off-kilter. Their script demanded delicate emotional control and delivery, especially in the more refined dialogues at the start. The performances of everyone, except for Leo, Anthony, and Bailey, were nothing short of disastrous. It was a sight to behold, approaching the finale. The scene escalated into Anthony, usually suave, turning on Bailey, almost beating him
Strange. Wasn't she full tonight? No way. He specifically paid attention today. He saw her with two takeout boxes and even munching on a big apple. "Angel, that's not cool at all! Cooking hotpot all by yourself in the hotel and not even giving me a shout-out. I'm starving too!" Anthony ranted. Diana held her forehead. "Technically, I'm not alone." Huh? Anthony widened his eyes. "What in the world? Angel, you're seeing someone behind my back?! I'd like to see who's got the nerve to snatch my Angel away. I..." Anthony dashed inside. As soon as he entered and laid eyes on the man at the table, his steps halted. He almost thought he was hallucinating. John raised his phoenix-like eyes and glanced over. Their eyes met. Anthony felt as if there were two ice-cold daggers shooting his way. He shuddered and retreated to the door. Clutching th
Anthony: "Angel, I haven't finished speaking! This is straight from my heart..." Diana calmly kicked him away. "You've had too much to drink. Go rest, we'll talk tomorrow." "No, I have to say it now, or I'll explode!" At this, John leaned back slightly in his chair, legs crossed, eyes slightly narrowed. Then suddenly spoke up. "Then spill it." The room fell silent for a few seconds after he spoke. Leo: ... Alright. Just successfully screwed myself over this time. Just hope this idiot doesn't drag me into his mess when he rambles later. "Angel, honestly, I've always felt like in this world, apart from me, no one deserves you!" Anthony held the bottle of liquor, his words filled with exaggerated emotion. He counted on his fingers, "Look at me, I'm so handsome, so wealthy, and so lovable... tell me, is there anyone in the world more outstanding than me?" Diana remaine
Anthony cautiously approached Diana. "Um, Diana, about last night?" Diana shot him a disdainful glance. "I never expected someone who can't hold their liquor to make such poor confessions. If you ever pull that in front of my man again, I won't bail you out." What... what? Anthony was petrified. "Did I... confess to you last night?!" He nearly bit off his tongue. Damn! Did he really have such a death wish when drunk?! "And that's not all. You even confessed love to my man afterward." Diana dropped another bombshell. Anthony: !!! He must be dreaming. He had to be dreaming! He couldn't possibly be this insane! Anthony weakly leaned against the wall, feeling numb all over. After a while, he snapped out of it. Seeming to recall something. "I can't go to the show's set today. I need to go home..." "Go home? For what?" Leo looked puzzled.
Diana inquired, "Yeah... Andrew mentioned you're not keen on going public with your relationship. Why's that?" Tony shrugged at her words. "Why else? Going public with something like this would be detrimental to both of us, especially to my career. The impact could be devastating." He continued, "Besides, my thing with you and Andrew is just a temporary companionship out of loneliness. Who knows when it might end?" Diana narrowed her eyes. "Big sis, you're denying your relationship with Andrew? I didn't expect you to be such a jerk." "I'm not." "Oh, you're not a jerk, so the jerk must be Andrew then?" Tony fell silent, momentarily at a loss for words. He reached out, ruffling Diana's hair. "What nonsense are you talking? No one's a jerk; you're just overthinking things as usual." With a smile, he added, "I'll head in first to check on the preparations of my group." With that, he walked away, leaving Diana behind
She wanted to obliterate this 'ugly monster'!But Diana remained unfazed.Seeing Scarlett charge at her, she subtly sidestepped, swiftly dodging her.In passing, she extended her leg, tripping Scarlett."Ah!"Scarlett hadn't expected this reaction.Completely unprepared, she fell hard to the floor, letting out a painful cry.Everyone on set froze.Once they realized what had happened, not a single person rushed to help her.They all felt a surge of relief, a release of pent-up anger.Comfortable!"Ms. Patel, are you okay?"Finally, Scarlett's manager was the first to react, urging the nearby assistants forward."What are you standing around for?! Hurry over there!"Godber reluctantly followed, reaching out to help Scarlett up.But she flung his hand away. "Get off me!"She sat up, covering her bleeding nose, pointing a trembling finger at Diana. "It's you... all your fault
"I do believe that the scene where she's hit was commendable, adding depth to the performance," Osbaldeston, the director, tried to smooth things over. Christopher exchanged greetings with him, naturally inclining a bit towards Scarlett. "The final scene, I recall it wasn't originally like this. Was it a last-minute change?" Tony, reclining in his chair, suddenly spoke up. Paul reluctantly nodded, "Yeah, Scarlett requested the alteration on the spot. It shows she's capable; it's just first-time jitters." "Well, that's quite bold. Especially considering that slap just now was undeniably real..." Tony smirked, offering his assessment. Paul felt a pang of discomfort. He knew deep down that the assistant deliberately slapped Scarlett. Now, Scarlett, in that state, seemed uncontrollable. He regretted taking on Scarlett, who had become quite a handful. Meanwhile, backstage was in chaos. People attended to Scarlett—fanning her, fetching water
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
