Diana was a bit puzzled. "What's wrong?"
John remained silent for a moment, then said slowly, "No protection."
Diana: ... So, that's the reason.
She squinted, then lowered her eyelashes, suddenly smiling.
"No protection... it doesn't matter," she said playfully.
Saying that, she raised her slender and straight legs, hooked them around John's lean waist, gently teasing.
Full of meaning.
Already on the edge, provoked by her, John almost lost control.
He reached out, grabbing her unruly ankle.
"Don't mess around, I don't know what I might do."
"Is that so?"
Diana raised herself, her hands wrapped around his neck, showing no restraint, but rather fanning the flames.
Her eyes danced, enchanting like a forest nymph.
She kissed his lips and whispered, "I'm in a safe period..."
Upon hearing her invitation, John could no longer restrain himself, pulling her closer and pressing her
Joe stood still, her slender eyes sweeping across, landing on Poly's luxurious figure, and her gaze instantly lost its warmth. With a cold snort, she uttered three words, "She's not worthy." This blunt and incendiary statement instantly set the crowd on fire. If these two started a confrontation right here, it would be front-page news! Reporters immediately pressed on, asking, "Does this mean you have no intention of repairing your relationship with her and making amends?" "Never had any intention." Joe raised an eyebrow, a trace of disdain in her eyes. "I have no time to shake hands and make amends with a plagiarist. It would simply dirty my hands." Her words, filled with contempt, further fueled Poly's anger. Her eyes narrowed, and a surge of indignation enveloped her. Sure, Joe used to be on a pedestal, but she had become an internationally renowned design master over the past ten years. She was no longer the assista
Mr. Jepson took the cigarette from her hand, his expression serious. "Ms. Palmer, smoking is prohibited here." "Oh, really?" Joe put on a lazy expression. "It's been so long; I forgot." Mr. Jepson's face stiffened slightly. "Tonight is a solemn and grand award ceremony. While I hope for a successful conclusion, if, as you say, the final result is otherwise, I won't let a clown deceive everyone at this sacred event." Days before the ceremony, he received hints from John that there might be an issue with Poly's showcased work. So, following John's suggestion, he invited Joe. At Joe's words, she leaned against her assistant, a provocative smile on her face. "You old men have been confused for ten years, and suddenly you're awake. I'm not used to it." Mr. Jepson's expression tightened. "We're about the same age; you're also an old lady." This hit a sore spot for Joe. "Get lost!" She maintained herself so wel
The host cautiously asked, "Mr. Yamamoto, do you have any insights on Ms. Poly's creations?" Yamamoto pushed up the glasses on his nose and slowly spoke, "Ms. Poly's two creations are indeed beautiful designs." "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Yamamoto. It's truly an honor to receive your admiration!" Poly immediately responded, her excitement reaching its peak. This Yamamoto was notoriously demanding. A couple of years ago, at a design exhibition, he publicly stated that her designs lacked soul and were too common. She faced ridicule in the industry during that time, with many questioning if her abilities matched her current status. Now, even Yamamoto was praising her! After this awards ceremony, her designs tonight would become big news in the industry! The host, ready to conclude, suddenly noticed Mr. Yamamoto in the front row waving his hand, signaling that he hadn't finished speaking. The host quickly put down the m
Poly's heart sank, unease flooding in. She looked at Mr. Yamamoto, somewhat excited. "Mr. Yamamoto, if you have any issues with me, you could discuss them privately. Why conspire with Joe to smear me in such a public place?" "Ms. Poly, no need to get worked up. Whether it's a false accusation or not, we'll know after looking at the photos!" Mr. Yamamoto's expression became stern, his tone severe. At that moment, the screen flickered, and a photo appeared. The audience sighed at the sight of the jewelry—a pair of pearl earrings! Apart from a slight difference in pearl color compared to Poly's design, the shape was identical! Then, the screen shifted, revealing another photo. It was the folding fan necklace! Similarly, except for a subtle color difference on the fan surface, at first glance, it was indistinguishable from Poly's displayed design! The crowd erupted in astonishment. "This is blatant p
"Both of them bring shame to the design industry. I disagree with Ms. Palmer participating in the Royal Jewelry Art Exhibition!" Bernie continued. Joe, irritated, retorted, "Old man, after so many years, your intelligence hasn't improved at all?" Bernie, turning red, declared, "Even after all these years, you remain reckless and disrespectful. I may be your elder, but you lack basic respect." Joe, disdainful, replied, "As an elder, if you can't distinguish right from wrong and support injustice, you're not worth respecting." A potential argument was brewing, but Mr. Jepson intervened. "Both of you, the incident ten years ago lacked conclusive evidence, and recent events suggest Poly's talent doesn't match her reputation. I believe Ms. Palmer might have been wronged." On the side, Mr. Yamamoto also nodded approvingly. "Ms. Palmer's talent far surpasses Poly's. I don't believe for a moment that she would plagiarize Poly's work," he state
Moreover, if Joe indeed made a comeback, Poly's mediocre designs wouldn't stand a chance against her. Poly's future didn't concern Charlotte much. But the problem was, if Poly really fell in the design world, Charlotte would lose many connections and opportunities herself, affecting her career. This was about her own interests, so she had to find a way to extricate Poly from this situation. Charlotte spoke slowly, "Tonight's situation is settled. People with discerning eyes understand what happened. You better not argue or get angry; it will only further damage your image." "What else can I do? Allow myself to be humiliated on stage?" Poly's face turned extremely ugly, then she tightened her coat and looked at Charlotte, "Charlotte, tell me, what should I do now?" Charlotte was her favorite student. Not just because of her privileged background and good design talent, but more importantly, she was intelligent, tactful,
Diana frowned and warned, "Sir, you're in the wrong place. This is the women's restroom." Ignoring her, the man continued advancing towards her. "Sir, if you come any closer, don't blame me for not being polite!" Diana's tone grew assertive. What on earth? In a place like this, there was an audacious pervert? Whether her words angered him or not, the tall man suddenly appeared displeased, glaring at her fiercely. Then, he reached for her neck with the intention of choking her. Reacting almost instantly, Diana grabbed his wrist, feeling a hint of alcohol as they got closer. Was he drunk? Diana was perplexed, but she suddenly saw the man extend his other hand, aggressively aiming for her abdomen. He was strong, but still not a match for her. With a steely gaze, Diana took the initiative to throw him off. The burly man, standing at 6 feet 3 inches, was thrown towards the restroom door, crashing into the wall and al
Diana returned to the private room, intending to open the door, but it swung open from inside. John stood at the door, and upon seeing Diana, his usually cold eyes softened. "Are you leaving?" Diana asked, a bit puzzled. "Yeah," John looked at her. "Did you eat enough?" "Yes." Diana hurriedly responsed, giving him a slight glare with her eyes. There were others present. She had just eaten almost half the table, and now saying she hadn't eaten enough would be quite embarrassing. Receiving her glance, John's eyes warmed even more. He stepped out, reaching for Diana's soft fingers. "Let's go back." Mr. Jepson immediately stepped forward, politely guiding John, and escorted them to the door. On the side of the road, Ethan and Jackson were already sitting in the car, waiting. Seeing John coming down, Jackson got out of the front passenger seat, opened the back door, and let them in.
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
