Aviva held Valencia's hand and casually placed her chin on Valencia's shoulder. Even though her face had a faint smile on it, her cold eyes that landed on Darcy were very piercing and fierce. Valencia's and Aviva's stances are so intimate and friendly that all the people present who believed that Valencia might soon be sent out of the Cirillo family immediately began to rethink. Seeing Aviva's and Valencia's stance, they knew that couldn't be possible. Aviva squinted her eyes and leisurely uttered, “This miss seems to know all the latest information and has something to say. Shouldn't we listen to it fully so we can know what's trending? Valencia, Aneira, what do you think?” Even though Aviva's voice was calm and leisurely, Darcy only felt a trail of chills coursing down her spine, making her shiver. Her face turned pale immediately. Having Aviva's cold eyes transfixed on her made Darcy's heart race so much it felt as if her heart would leap out of her chest. Darcy had only
Aneira pushed the restroom door open and placed her hand under the automatic faucet. Suddenly the door was pushed open, and before Aneira could process it, the person who just entered already strode toward her. Immediately, Aneira lifted her head to take a glance at the person. Upon seeing who had just stepped into the ward, her eyes widened and then constricted in shock. “Quite cocky.” Farrell’s brows arched leisurely, and he blew warm air into Aneira’s ear, making her jump. Immediately he wrapped his hands around her and rested his chin on her neck while watching her expression through the mirror. His lips curved up in satisfaction upon seeing her conflicting emotions. Aneira's expression slipped, and her lips parted slightly in shock, not expecting Farrell so soon. How can he find her so soon? “I'm from the…” Farrell’s eyes immediately turned deep, and his hands on her waist tightened. He fixated his eyes on her and pronounced in a husky and deep voice, “Complete it and see i
The conspicuous black car of the Cirillo family rolled to a stop in front of City Hotel, one of the most expensive hotels in the city.The Davis family’s son finally found his first love and got engaged to her after years of searching. As a result, Mr. Davis was so excited that he even threw a special party to celebrate with the top elite in the country and took out his favorite wine to share.“It’s been years since I attended this.” Aneira exhales and inhales deeply. If it wasn’t for Valencia and Aviva’s countless persuasions, Aneira really wanted to stay home and play with her sweet quadruplet.Home is very beautiful. Several times more beautiful than social gatherings like this, where several people are fake.Since Aneira had attended such parties in the past, it’s right to say that she’ll definitely be under people’s scrutinizing eyes. Just thinking about it made her want to return home.As if realizing what Aneira planned to do, Aviva grabbed her hand and led her out of the car.
Tatiana eyed Valencia and her brooding expression, and she immediately came to the conclusion that Corbyn already dumped Valencia and Valencia's attendance was to find a rich man to hang onto again. “What? You are all alone here tonight! Is this a final attempt to find a man? I didn’t expect that Miss Valencia was this type of woman. However, isn’t Roman so outstanding…” Valencia didn’t even raise an eye before scoffing in disdain. She continued to stare into the distance before sneering, “Not only do you speak nonsense, you are also blind.” She pronounced Upon hearing this, Tatiana’s eyes turned cold, and a surge of indignation overwhelmed her being, but… Tatiana had yet to speak a word when one of the crowd of ladies fawning over her and following her scoffed at Valencia. “Someone is really shameless. Aren’t you the one trending in the news? I already expected you to break down. Turns out you are very thick-skinned and tenacious.” She chided harshly Valencia childishly nodded h
’Eh? Isn’t this Miss Tatiana? Miss Tatiana is eavesdropping on Valencia and Roman’s discussion? Doesn’t that mean Miss Tatiana isn’t clueless about how this news got revealed?Good heavens! Can this be Miss Tatiana’s handiwork? I know that Miss Tatiana is just as sly, but I didn’t expect that she’d be so vile and shameless to do such a thing.’Upon hearing the voice surrounding her, coupled with the people pointing and chiding her, Tatiana’s expression changed, and she took a step back, her whole person filled with panic and anxiety; it was clear that Tatiana didn’t expect the sudden revelation. She quickly cried out to defend herself, “This. This. I’m being framed. Someone turn it off. I didn’t do it. I didn’t.”Suddenly, Tatiana’s expression changed, and she pointed at the stunned Valencia and yelled at the top of her voice, “It’s you. You’re framing me. I know Miss Valencia will do anything to clean herself, but doing such a thing like this is very vile,” she cried out pitifully an
Tatiana’s expression changed to agitation. In fact, all Tatiana was doing was her own play to turn the tide over. She had no intention to kneel.Tatiana’s face turned pale. She really doesn’t want to kneel; once she kneels, her reputation will be stained, and she will be lowly to Valencia. How can she bear that? Her hand subconsciously gripped the side of her dress.Seeing this, how can Aviva not know what was going through Tatiana’s mind? She sneered and coldly said, “What? Are those all for shows? Didn’t you want to gain Valencia’s forgiveness…”“Enough!” Maverick coldly declared, interjecting Aviva’s words.Corbyn’s eyes turned cold, and he took a step forward, his lips pressed in a thin line. “Your Vandenberg family can’t go overboard in our Cirillo family’s presence.” His cold eyes fall on Tatiana, and he ruthlessly emits, “Apologise.”Tatiana’s eyes flashed with a depressing glint, and a sense of unwillingness overwhelmed her. She really doesn’t want to. Her anxious eyes fell on
The waitress immediately crawled to Valencia and began to hit her head against the floor, tears streaming profusely down her face. She bawled pitifully, “Miss Valencia, please forgive me. I just wanted to save my poor mother. My poor mother was sick, and I just needed the money. Please let me go…” Before the waitress could complete her words, the female guard grabbed her by the hair and threw her far away from Valencia. The waitress was clearly pleading with such words in order to get Valencia to soften, forgive her, and not get to the root of the matter. Unfortunately, she messed with the wrong person. “Who sent you?” The guard cruelly pulled the waitress by the hair and questioned her harshly. The waitress's lips parted and her eyes darted about, her body trembling. She cried out, “I. I didn’t see the person’s face. The person covered their eyes. Please, let me go.” She bawled pitifully. The bodyguard sneered, not falling for the waitress’s lies. Before she could speak, CCTV fo
You bitch!" A fierce slap resounded in the room, and Tatiana's face whipped to the side immediately, her cheeks filled with five print marks.A surge of hatred immediately overwhelmed Tatiana’s eyes, and her body trembled due to rage."It's enough that a slut daughter dared to cause chaos in my home; how dare you try to ruin the family's reputation? Do you think everyone is as naive as you to believe that a lowly guard, especially the guard of Maverick Vandenberg, would take action without orders? How dare you?" Mrs. Austergaard chided coldly, her elegant face now filled with fury. Mrs. Austeegard pointed at Tatiana and continued to chide, "You are just like your mother; you only know how to run after men without a plan for your future. Ever since you returned to the country, you have never acted like a responsible daughter of the Austegaard. Rather, you shamelessly throw yourself at men all day long. You are very shameless." She seethed. The more Mrs. Austergaard thought of all thi
This jerk! Valencia's expression changed, and she dodged, evading his lips before they could land on hers.This fight became a tugging between cat and dog?Suddenly, Valencia stopped struggling, and she glared at Maverick coldly, her eyes flashing with disdain and exasperation.Valencia scolded the shameless man who now focused on placing kisses on her neck and cheeks due to her refusal, “Mr. Maverick, could it be that you have fallen in love with me? Look carefully; I'm Valencia. Valencia. Your Tatiana is at the party. Outside of this restroom.”Maverick’s throat rolled, and he grunted, “I know.”If only the woman knew how hard it had been to control the urge to strip off her dress and take her hard right now so much that everyone at the party would know that she belonged to him.Under Maverick's dark gaze, Valencia couldn't help shivering, wanting nothing but to escape this temperamental and eccentric Maverick, but all to no avail.Suddenly, Valencia's brows furrowed. If he knew, th
“Excuse me.”Unable to hold it anymore, Valencia quickly took a step back and fled to the restroom while trying to appear calm.Immediately Valencia stepped into the restroom, she shut the door behind her and began to pace nervously while resisting the urge to tug and tousle her hair.Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!!! What had she done?Grandpa Black… No. Valencia facepalmed herself and tried to recall all the conversations.Grandpa Black had always been interested in matchmaking Valencia to his grandson and wanted her to marry his grandson.It's all because of… Ahhhh!What about Grandpa Black being curious about her and her quadruplets' father's interaction?Grandpa Black must have been asking just to know the details and know how to arrange things between Valencia and Maverick.Boohoo!The more the thoughts coursed through Valencia's mind, the more she wanted to sit down and cry an ocean.Valencia never expected that she'd fall into someone's plans. Hell. Never did she expect that the someone
Upon seeing Farrell’s car a few steps away, Aneira hurriedly parted from the Cirillo family and ran toward Farrell. “Hubby,” she called sweetly and beamed at him. Farrell's cold expression softened, and he found himself unable to get annoyed at the adorable woman. Still, he stretched out his hand and pinched her squishy cheeks with feigned anger. “Ouch. Ouch, it hurts, Hubby. Hurry up and let go,” Aneira cried dramatically in a soft and coquettish voice. Farrell’s mood softened, and he rubbed Aneira’s hair endearingly. He lowered his head and placed a kiss at the corner of her lips. “You look beautiful, Aneira.” He confessed sincerely and whispered something in her ear. Aneira’s ears reddened, and her face flushed like a tomato. She stretched out her hand and pinched Farrell’s waist shyly. “Ahem.” The Montclair couple—Farrell’s parents—suddenly cleared their throats after being ignored by the couple. These two were so engrossed with each other that they had already forgotten that
Raven Castillo held Valencia's hand and continued to lecture, her expression filled with worry and concern. “Valencia, if you feel uncomfortable…”Valencia sighed and nodded her head for the umpteenth time. “I understand, Mom.”Raven had also told Valencia that if she didn’t want to attend the Vandenberg party, then she didn't have to be scared and that Valencia should let her know.Raven had also told Valencia that if she was scared or uninterested at some point, then she should let Raven know. If someone dared to bully her…In the past, Valencia had always stayed quiet and endured everything because of her love for Maverick Vandenberg.But now, after realizing that Maverick was such a bad person, who did she have to fear, and why would she care? And why would she let herself be bullied?The last thing that anyone wanted to do was to step on Valencia’s toes today.There's no way that Valencia would be in a good mood after seeing that scumbag and Tatiana.And if anyone dares to go aga
“I said, Heaven is really considerate, and they aren’t blind. Since that time, Tatiana has been facing kidnapping schemes endlessly. Serves that bitch right.” Aneira grinned in excitement while the makeup artist applied makeup to her face. Although Aneira knew she shouldn’t be laughing at another’s misfortune, she really couldn’t hold her excitement at that point. After all, that Tatiana bitch had been a menace in Valencia’s life ever since she returned to the country. If one asked why Aneira slept in the Cirillo mansion and was going through her preparation for Grandpa Blauch Vandenberg’s party in the Cirillo mansion instead of her husband’s… Well, this is the answer… Although Aneira could have chosen to do it at home, she had dumped her pitiful Farrell and instead returned to the Cirillo family because it was more fun with the girls! Even though Farrell and his family were closer to the Vandenberg family, somehow, Farrell’s wife had no liking for Maverick and the Vandenberg famil
---“Maverick, Tatiana is so sorry. Tatiana didn't wish to cause trouble for Maverick. Maverick, please forgive Tatiana.” As soon as Maverick stepped into the ward, Tatiana immediately broke into tears. Her body began to tremble, and her lips quivered pitifully.Originally, Tatiana's face was as pale as a sheet due to the incident. Coupled with the sobbing, it made Tatiana appear exceptionally pitiful and fragile, making one have the urge to want to protect her.Immediately, Tatiana lowered her head, and her eyes flashed with a devious glint.Although Tatiana and Maverick had shared the bed that night, the truth is that ever since Tatiana woke up the next morning until she fell from the mountain, Tatiana never set her eyes on Maverick.Even when Tatiana called Maverick’s phone or sent messages, he wouldn't pick up her call nor respond to her messages—all because he was busy.That had never happened in the past. In the past, no matter how busy Maverick was, he always responded to her m
"Huff! That bastard’s shamelessness really knows no bounds. All because of that fake bitch, Maverick is losing all the good people by his side. I hope he doesn't realize the truth when it's too late," Aviva scolded, her voice a tad higher due to rage. If it wasn't for Valencia constantly pacifying her and telling her not to, Aviva really wanted to storm to that hospital and rip that bastard apart. Although Aviva knew the Vandenberg family weren't good people, still, Maverick—that jerk—is really out of this world and different from the rest of the family. Aviva sighed and wrapped her arm around Valencia. Right now, the most important thing was to comfort Valencia and ease her pain. Although Valencia assumed a nonchalant and brave front, Aviva believed those were acts, and Valencia was overwhelmed by pain deep down. Aviva lowered her voice and tried to coax Valencia in the most gentle tone she could ever muster. "Valencia, don't pay attention to that jerk. He's really going to regre
“Safety check.” The director took a step back and swept a glance at the prop assistant as if to check if everything was in place. “Everything is in place, Director.” The props assistant immediately took a step back and responded, leaving Tatiana and Ayla at their initial positions. “Two minutes. Actors, get into position,” the director finalized and immediately made his way toward the camera. The crew immediately moved into their rightful positions. The scene that would be shot at the mountain was one of the female lead returning to the village where she was raised after being shunned by her parents and the world due to a scheme from her stepsister. The female lead had run to the village to take a breather and consider things again. However, what the female lead did not expect was that her ex-friend (Tatiana’s character), under the Fl sister's advice, was already trailing FL—intent on silently finishing her off in the village. The scene goes: The FL, who was running the mountai
“The Vandenberg family invited the family to the Blauch Vandenberg party and specially invited Valencia?” Raven Castillo suddenly read aloud from the envelope in her hand upon seeing Valencia and Aviva step into the mansion, her voice filled with bewilderment at the news she had just read. Fleet wrapped his hands around Raven while going through the documents in his other hand, as if to let Raven know that he was focusing on her regardless of going through a document or not. Fleet chimed into the conversation by responding in a tentative voice, “What is that old man thinking?” Upon hearing Raven's announcement, Valencia unconsciously paused in her tracks, not believing her ears. Did the Vandenberg family just specially invite their son’s ex and someone who was termed a humiliation throughout Valencia's relationship with Maverick? Moreover, aren’t the Cirillo and Vandenberg families enemies? Why would the Vandenberg family choose to let their enemies attend their celebration? Weren
