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
Valencia yawned and rubbed her eyes lazily. The familiar soreness and softness made her groan and curse that lustful Maverick scum. That jerk is too much! Valencia extended her hand and massaged her painful waist before turning on the soft bed. Suddenly, Valencia's brows furrowed at the emptiness, and her eyes flew wide open. Valencia's gaze fell on the space next to the bed. Not only was it cold, but it was also neat, with no creases, as if Maverick hadn't slept next to her after she blacked out. A rueful smile appeared on Valencia's face, and her eyes turned cold immediately. Did Maverick return to the mansion just so he could stabilize his mood before he returned to that woman? Even without thinking, Valencia knew where Maverick had gone. If he liked Tatiana so much, then why did he lock her up and won't let her go? Valencia chuckled. Why would Maverick let Valencia go? After all, Maverick took Valencia as nothing but a toy. Valencia stared into the distance and sc
Upon hearing Maverick's words, Tatiana subtly gnashed her teeth together and clenched her fist in fury. Finley, that asshole, had never liked Tatiana from day one. Finley's eyes are always sharp, cold, and scary whenever they land on Tatiana. It was as if he knew Tatiana's every thought and every action. Tatiana had never felt so uneasy with anyone as she felt when she was in Finley's presence. In Finley's presence, Tatiana doesn't even want to think about any scheming tricks because she feels that Finley will know her thoughts. Despite the thoughts running through her mind, Tatiana bit her lower lip demurely and nodded her head considerately. "Then Maverick shouldn't work too hard, okay?" She lowered her head and conveyed in a soft, docile tone. Maverick tucked his hands into his trousers pocket, nodded indifferently, and strode out of the room without another response. Seeing Maverick leave her room without hesitation, Tatiana gritted her teeth, an indecipherable glint
Lessie bit her lower lip to snap out of her daze. Immediately, her lips quivered and her face reddened in grievance. “Brother-in-law, who's that woman with you in the news? Didn't my brother-in-law claim to love my sister? How can a brother-in-law be with another woman?" Lessie's eyes reddened, and she cried out righteously. Her body kept trembling, her chest puffed out, and her hips swayed coquettishly with her every word. Her actions were capable of stirring any man’s heart. After Maverick rejects Lessie in the wedding hall, Lessie tries to meet Maverick countless times to pursue him, yet somehow their paths never cross those years. However, the thought of Maverick not getting married or moving on for the past few years was enough to help Lessie calm down. As long as Maverick continued to stay single, Lessie believed that she had all the time to win Maverick over to her side But what Lessie never expected was that Tatiana would suddenly emerge out of nowhere to become M
“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
’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 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
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.
