"Mixing styles is fine, but this is just a mess."
The two of them continued to criticize Frank's outfit, making him jump up in anger.
"Shut up! What do you know about aesthetics? You little punk, are you even old enough to judge? And you, weird old man, who let you in?"
Diana, sitting calmly in her chair, said, "They are the designers I hired for a lot of money."
Frank: "What?! Designers?!"
"Yes." Diana nodded and then introduced Gates and Cenzo to Frank. "This is Frank, one of our studio's shareholders, responsible for external collaborations and operations."
Turning to Frank, she added, "This is Gates, and this is Cenzo."
Frank's face darkened. "Reliable?"
Cenzo sneered, "I could say the same about your taste."
Frank was furious. "Big sis, where did you find these designers?! I want to fire them!"
Diana glanced at Cenzo. "Frank is your boss, too. Show some respect."
Cenzo said, "Sorry, boss, I only respec
Just then, Xavier’s phone rang. He answered it."Yes."After listening briefly, Xavier hung up.Diana asked, "What is it?""The ones fo-fo-following us are from...from the Nelson family." Xavier stammered again.Nelson family?Diana was stunned and her gaze sharpened.At that moment, someone knocked on the car window.She turned to see Godber bending down, standing outside.He wore a white shirt with two buttons undone, looking casual and relaxed.When Diana looked over, he waved and smiled cheerfully."Long time no see."Diana: ...Xavier tensed up."M-m-madam, don't be a-afraid. We have people... I..." He stammered.Before he could finish, another small head popped up outside the rear window.Kevin strained to stand on his tiptoes, his dark eyes peering intently at the back seat.When he saw Diana, his face lit up with a brilliant smile.“Woman!”Dia
At that moment, Godber’s phone rang.He answered, his expression turning serious after a few moments.“Mr. Nelson, there’s been an incident.”Yosef slightly raised his eyes. “Go on.”“The secret training camp we had on the southeast coast was attacked. The core intercept network was hacked. The attackers seemed very familiar with our setup. The losses are heavy.”“Any idea who did it?”Godber replied slowly, “It’s likely Carl.”Patrick, who was listening, was shocked. “But how would Carl know about our people there, let alone the exact layout? This is too unusual…”Yosef’s expression turned cold.He narrowed his eyes, then looked at Godber.“As I recall, you three were the ones who set up and trained at that location. Aside from me, you three know the place best.”Patrick froze.Mr. Nelson was suggesting… there was a mole?!But Natalie was already dead.Godber and Kirin…He could
Mitbahl had intended to climb through the window, but seeing the family head and madam being affectionate, he froze, unsure whether to intrude or leave.Catching John's slightly displeased look, Mitbahl swallowed nervously and whispered, "Sorry, boss. I forgot you were back. I’m used to coming in through the window..."John spoke up. "What's the matter?""Uh...boss, there's something to report, but..." Mitbahl hesitated. "Can I come in and say it? Hanging upside down too long is making my head feel a bit fuzzy."Diana couldn't help but laugh. "Come on in.""Thanks!" Mitbahl gratefully rolled into the room."Boss, Ivana said she wants to go out for a walk. What do you think?""Go out? But Ivana's health isn’t great," Diana hesitated. "She’s been here for days. Why does she suddenly want to go out?""Who knows," Mitbahl sighed. "She’s usually so lifeless around me, but the moment Jacob shows up, she wants to go out. Could it be m
After Jacob and Ivana left the villa, they headed to a lively downtown area.Ivana sat in the car, looking at Jacob with a puzzled expression.“Why was Diana so angry with you earlier?”Jacob glanced at her briefly before responding.“Because I lied to her.”“You lie?”“...Yes.” Jacob nodded slightly and added, “But I always have my reasons.”Hearing this, Ivana's eyes flickered with curiosity.“Do you lie often?”Jacob didn’t answer.Instead, he looked at her. “Why do you want to know?”“I just mean... whatever happens, please don’t lie to me, okay?”Jacob gave her a sidelong glance.Then he asked slowly, “What about you?”Ivana blinked, confused. “What?”“Have you ever lied to me?”Ivana didn’t reply immediately. Instead, she gave him a soft, enigmatic smile.Under Jacob's intrigued gaze, she leaned in closer, her scent—a mix of herbs and flowers—growing more inte
"Impossible," Mitbahl immediately dismissed the idea. "In broad daylight, with witnesses around, the captain wouldn't rob in public place."He wore a serious expression. "I bet he stole them."Misoup: ...Unable to contain his curiosity, Mitbahl sidled up to Jacob and whispered, "Captain, where did you get all this stuff?"Jacob's face remained stony. "None of your business.""Aw, come on, I'm just worried about you. Why so cold?""And what would you do if you knew? Pay for it yourself?""Well, that's not going to happen... unless you sell yourself to me."Jacob replied, "Come to my room tonight."Mitbahl's eyes widened. "Really?""No, get lost!" Jacob kicked him aside, his expression heavy.Today had been a major expense, and he still hadn't recovered.He followed Ivana toward the villa, then suddenly stopped as if something had just occurred to him.Jacob turned slightly, looki
Seeing her relaxed, Jacob also felt relieved.He said, "If you can't eat so much, then don't. Know your own limits."Ivana, under the covers, looked at him with bright eyes."Are you worried about me?"Jacob glanced at her."I'm scolding you.""No, you're worried..." Ivana's eyes sparkled. "My mom always said, 'Good advice sounds harsh.'""You have a mom?""Of course, I didn't just pop out of a rock." Ivana gave him an exasperated look.Jacob: ...Jacob then asked, "Where is your mom?""...She's already dead."Ivana's eyes dropped, her expression darkening.Something seemed off about her expression.Jacob narrowed his eyes."How did your mother die?"Ivana remained silent.She shrank back, pulling the blanket up a bit, hesitating.Then she slowly said, "I need to rest now."She was trying to make him leave.Jacob frowned slightly.This wa
Jacob's eyes widened. She had said this before, but he hadn't paid attention. This time, his heart tightened.After a moment, his expression darkened. "Don't say such things.""My mom told me, if you like someone, you should tell them. You should cherish them, stick to them, and make them happy. Life is short, and if you don't say it, you might never get the chance."Ivana brought her delicate face closer to his. "So, can I sing now?"Jacob didn't respond immediately. He could handle the most complex data, but Ivana's straightforward affection left him at a loss. After a long pause, he said quietly, "Do as you wish," and closed his eyes again.As he did, he felt the bed shift slightly under her weight. Then, a gentle song filled the room.She was right; her voice was beautiful. Though he didn't understand the foreign words, the melody was soothing, like a warm hand calming his fatigue and restlessness.Ivana sang softly for a while un
"I can't help it. You look so appetizing when you're serious." Andrew leaned in and whispered in Tony's ear, "Makes me want to devour you.""Animal!"Tony, flustered by Andrew's provocation, bit down hard on his thin lips before releasing him just as Andrew was about to make his next move."Hold on. I'm going to change my clothes.""Okay."Andrew reached out and stroked the corner of Tony's lips, his eyes filled with desire. Tony sighed, knowing how wicked Andrew could be but unable to resist loving that side of him.Just as Tony turned around, he noticed Evans standing a short distance away, looking shocked. Tony stiffened, about to say something to cover up, but Evans spoke first."I-I didn't see anything. I won't say a word. You guys continue..."With that, he glanced nervously at Andrew before quickly escaping. Watching Evans's retreating back, Tony squinted and looked at the tall, elegant man beside him."What did y
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
