In the low-key, luxurious room, Maverick's brows furrowed slightly, and his black eyes narrowed solemnly. He stared down at the woman whose eyes were scrunched up and whose lips pouted adorably, and he extended his hand to smoothen the crease in between her brows. As if he had just recollected himself, Maverick suddenly paused, and his gaze fell on Valencia's palm-sized, beautiful face. What was he doing? He planned to marry Tatiana; what was he doing with this woman? Somehow, even though Maverick wanted to marry Tatiana, he never wanted to let this silly woman go to any other man, especially Corbyn Cirillo. The thought of Valencia under another man having that beautiful expression she used to make under him made his heart abuzz with mixed feelings. The thought of how the two had gone further up to the level of Corbyn and Valencia having quadruplets immediately flashed in his head. Maverick's calm expression turned cold immediately. As if feeling the man's cold aura and
Corbyn, Aviva, Rave, and Fleet Cirillo stared at the quadruplet in disbelief, as if they couldn’t believe the quadruplet's words. Of course, how could they? Years of dealing with Maverick and the Vandenberg family have already shown them how much of a force Maverick is. Maverick is a reckoning force not to be trifled with. Although the Cirillo family members knew the quadruplets were smart, none of the Cirillo family members believed the quadruplet words. After all, this was Maverick Vandenberg they were talking about! Maverick Vandenberg! It sounded hilarious to the extreme, no matter how they saw it! Even though the Cirillo family didn’t say a word, that was the thought spurning in their mind. The quadruplets were raised by the single Valencia, and ever since they were young, they were sensitive to people’s emotions. Although the faces of the Cirillo family were blank, the quadruplet could notice that the Cirillo family didn’t believe their words. Orson p
Tatiana's eyes flashed with fury and helplessness, and several indecipherable emotions flickered past them. Her fist clenched the phone in her hand, and she simply clicked on the little children's live video that had been trending. Every nurse and patient around her seemed to be talking about those kids, making her have the extreme urge to watch the children they were talking about. Somehow, Tatiana felt that the content of the video was related to her, so she simply clicked on the video to watch. The minute Tatiana heard the mention of the time the children’s mom went missing, her body shook, and she bit her lower lips… “Maverick still hasn't visited yet?” Amell's voice suddenly interrupted Tatiana's thoughts. As soon as Amell's voice drifted into Tatiana's ears, he gently strode into the ward while holding two paper bags containing fruits and a lunchbox each. Tatiana quickly shut off her phone and placed it next to her. She trembled, and she raised her eyes to revea
Valencia's brows knitted, and she bit her lower lip. She let her crafty mind spurn on how to alert Tatiana about her stay at Maverick's mansion. Not only did Maverick lock Valencia in one position, but he also kept her phone hidden. Valencia's expression turned gloomier upon recalling it. She quickly inhaled to suppress her wandering thoughts. Valencia rested her chin on her palm, and she began to think about how she could send cheating evidence to the legitimate wife. Placing kiss evidence on Maverick's shirt? Valencia hurriedly shook her head. No. No. She hasn't even seen her bag, not to mention her lipstick... RING!!! The sudden ringing of Maverick's phone, which was placed next to Valencia, distracted her thoughts. Valencia's lips pursed gloomily at the interaction, and she simply stretched her hand to silence the call. Her hand was about to touch the phone's volume button when her neck suddenly craned and her eyes lit up. Immediately, Valencia's face bright
Maverick clenched the steering wheel; his lips were drawn in a thin line, and a gloomy aura pervaded him. Recalling the woman’s stubborn expression, his chest somehow tightened, and his irritation grew. Maverick reached out for the packet of expensive cigarettes placed in the center console. He lit up a stick and began to smoke it, his whole being enigmatic. After smoking two sticks, Maverick’s gloomy expression decreased slightly. He turned on the ignition and drove out of the mansion immediately. Minutes later, Maverick’s car drove into the hospital. With a gloomy expression, Maverick alighted the car and strode into the hospital. A few minutes later, he opened the door to Tatiana's ward and strode inside. Tatiana's body was curled up in a fetal position. Her eyes were shut tightly, and her fist was balled into a fist, making her whole person pitiful. Maverick's expression softened upon casting a glance at the trembling Tatiana. Suddenly, Tatiana's eyes flew
The thick smell of century-old alcohol and cigarettes pervaded the private room. Maverick’s brows knitted slightly at the sight of the table. On the dark table were dozens of bottles of whisky, liquor, and wine, and several bottles were empty. Indifferently, Maverick strode into the private room and sat on one of the couches elegantly, a domineering and majestic aura oozing out of him. Burke casually arched his brows and continued to smoke the half-stick cigarette he held in his hand. He lazily glanced at Maverick. "Brother three, you disappeared again. This time and that time for that woman,” he puffed out the smoke enchantingly. Maverick ignored Burke's statement and poured a century-old whisky into a new glass cup. He swirled it before chugging it down his throat. He gave Burke a languid glance that seemed to accuse Burke of being wasted at such a time of the day. “Eh eh. It's not the first time.” Burke chuckled indifferently, but one won't fail to catch the sadness in i
"Ahhhhh!" Valencia yawned and stretched her sore body tiredly. She turned on the massive bed and rubbed her eyes before stretching her body leisurely. Her brows knitted upon discovering that the pain coursing through her had lessened a lot. Even though Valencia didn't want to admit it, she knew the person who could be behind it: Maverick. Valencia exhaled and leisurely turned. She couldn't believe she had fallen asleep amidst crying. Upon recalling Maverick, Valencia's heart felt as if it had been stabbed deeply by multiple shards of sharp glass. He... Wait! Valencia paused in agitation. How could she turn and stretch this much when she had been tied down to a position by Maverick? Valencia's brows furrowed, and her eyes flew wide open. Immediately, Valencia realized that the red rope that had always tied her down had magically disappeared. Valencia sat up, and she realized that she was in Maverick's white shirt, which fell below her knees due to its big size and
Valencia eyed the shrieking girl. The girl was an average-looking, slim girl in her twenties, currently dressed in a pink princess gown. The girl currently had a scowl on her face and her arms akimbo. Immediately, Valencia recalled the girl as Amelia, the daughter of Maverick's nanny, who grew up with Maverick. Because Amelia had grown up with Maverick, she always believed that Maverick had a soft spot for her and that she'd one day become Maverick's woman. She was also among those who had bullied Valencia in the past. Seeing Amelia's posture and expression, Valencia realized that even if she had no intention to seek trouble, that person would still seek trouble with her. Valencia's lips subtly curved upward in eagerness. Originally, Valencia was raging in a bad mood, and she had no opportunity to let it out. Luckily, a stupid punching bag had delivered herself. Hopefully, this uncouth girl won't let her down. Thinking like this, Valencia closed her eyes and continued
Aurora carefully opened the car and helped Tatiana into the car. She shut it and walked toward the co-driver seat.“Tatiana is very sly. I don’t believe that you and your boss are ignorant of this fact.” A whisper from Bailey stopped Aurora in her tracks.Aurora smiled and bowed slightly to Bailey as if she hadn’t heard what Bailey had just heard. “Good night, Miss Bailey.” Immediately, she got into the car and drove away.Bailey’s eyes flashed with a complex glint, and she stomped her feet.Had Bailey known that forfeiting that chance would give Tatiana the chance to ride over them, she’d have hurriedly taken over it. But now it’s too late to cry over spilled milk. Even the Farrell she loved all these years fell in love with someone else.Tears shimmered in Bailey’s eyes, and her figure became lonely upon recalling how Farrell had heroically carried Aneira and strode out of the hall.“Young Miss, it’s cold.” Bailey’s bodyguard stepped forward and reminded. Immediately, he wrapped a
Aneira was about to fall asleep when she received the news after another round of fierce tossing. She didn’t hesitate to leave the bed and ordered Farrell to bring her to the studio. What would she do if something bad happened to Valencia?Valencia’s heart turned warm. Even though she had just gone through a minor event, she had a family who stuck by her and cared for her. “I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I won’t do that next time.” Valencia sincerely apologized.Corbyn stepped into the studio, and he immediately wrapped his hands around Valencia, his voice laced with concern. “Are you fine?” Just the thought that he had almost lost her scared him. He never wanted her to go through such danger again!At this point, Valencia realizes that she was wrong and at fault. She has people who will become anxious and concerned whenever they hear that something bad happened to her. She should have thought about them before taking any rash steps. “Big brother Corbyn, I’m so sorry. I was so rash…
All Doctor Earl’s life, he had always believed that he and Valencia were from the same world and they could only end together. Who knew that the bitch would not notice him and instead shamelessly throw herself at Maverick?Doctor Earl is the only one who can love and protect Valencia all her life. No other person can.Even when he treated her hand, she only appreciated him and moved on. How can he bear that?Doctor Earl’s eyes suddenly shone with a maniacal glint, and he grabbed Valencia by the chin. “Do you know…”He suddenly paused, and his mind surged with different thoughts, making his facial expression complicated. When he heard that Valencia would marry Maverick, he was filled with fury and decided that he would never see it happen. Doctor Earl had planned to hit and run the wedding car with a non-licensed truck whenever the two were heading toward their matrimonial home; who knew that Valencia would suddenly leave the country, canceling the wedding?Doctor Earl had searched f
“Miss Valencia, you’re here.” As soon as Valencia stepped into the filming location, the crew members began to greet her politely while smiling at her. It was as if they were never involved in all that happened the day before.Seeing this total change of attitude, Valencia’s lips curved up in a sneer.Yesterday, they had all crowded her and called her shameless to her face, but after seeing the news, they were quick to switch and act friendly. Very two-faced and disgusting. Ayla straightened her back and smiled beautifully before catwalking toward Valencia while holding a bottle of water in her hand. “Miss Valencia, congratulations. I heard you have gotten the news solved. I’m so happy for you.” Ayla elegantly uttered with a bow, her voice and expression filled with so much joy that if one didn’t know better, one would think that she and Valencia were friends.Upon hearing this, Valencia nodded indifferently and uttered, “Thank you.” Immediately she turned to leave.Valencia inward
“Big brother Corbyn, why will Roman take the blame?” Valencia tilted her neck in curiosity and inquired while Corbyn pushed her swing. But wait… that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is how Aida was able to set her hands on Roman's phone. Except for his acting career, Roman's life has always been secretive, and he's always with his phone. Even when he's performing in a set. And if there's a rare moment, Roman’s phone will be handed to his assistant. However, it was that Roman who suddenly left his phone unlocked in the lobby when Aida wanted to steal a photo! That's not simple. Not at all. Thinking like this, how wouldn’t Valencia understand that Roman must have known that Aida was interested in his phone and purposely left it for her to use? Valencia’s face contorted in a frown. That means Roman isn't a good person either. Without hesitation, Valencia picked up her phone and dialed Roman’s number. Roman picked up the call on the first dial
Due to this, Amell had no choice but to enter the private room. His eyes awkwardly darted around the room, and his whole person was a bit nervous. “Hey.” He threw and sat at the far end from Amell.Contrary to Amell’s nervousness, Burke appeared very calm. He was so calm it was as if he wasn’t the one who kissed Amell in a fit of rage. He calmly responded without lifting his head, “Hm.”Upon hearing Burke’s response, Amell’s tense nerves slightly turned calm. His eyes narrowed due to conflicting emotions.Could it be that this bastard was in a good mood, or is it that this bastard just never cared since the beginning…Amell’s eyes that suddenly landed on Burke’s lips snapped him out of his thought. Thin lips crashed with…Amell’s eyes instantly widened in horror, and he quickly rubbed his eyes like crazy while shaking his head.It was as if doing so would prevent the image from displaying in his mind.Unfortunately, several images of lips kissing began to run through his mind, making
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
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
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
