At the same time, the bar boss, themanagers, security, and all related staff were standing in a row with great trepidation.They all had expressions showing thatthe disaster was about to fall upon them.Because the little prince of Kenton Corporation, Isaiah Kento's precious son,had gone missing in their bar.Isaiah Kento's face was chilly on the sofa; not a single shred of extra feeling was showing on that ice statue-like face. However, the pressure of a superior was pressing on each person present, causing their legs to soften and their sweat to fall like the rain.No one dared to utter a single word as they all trembled under their seemingly heated atmosphere.A young man was kneeling by his feet.With a face full of tears and snot, "big brother, I'm sorry! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have brought Ethan to a bar! If anything happens to Ethan. I won't live any longer!" As he finished speaking, a kick was thrown at his chest and he fretted.The sound of bone breaking made thei
I Isaiah Kento sized up the woman on the bed probingly, as if he was trying to tell if the expression of surprise on her face was authentic. He stared deeply at her as if his eyes were capable of penetrating her soul.After a long while, it seemed as if he finally believed that she had not known of Brian's identity. He then spoke up coldly with his eyes fixed on the woman, "Your request""Uh, what request?" Miranda did notunderstand the words that had appearedout of nowhere."My brother wants to thank you for saving Brian, and he's asking you to state yourrequest!" Jake had the expression 'youstruck gold this time' written all over hisface.Hearing this, the gears in Miranda's headspun quickly as she cautiously said, "Youdon't need to thank me. I indeed saved Brian, but he also saved me. If it weren't for Brian who had gone to call for help, I would still be trapped in there right now, so we can be considered even."Although she was fortunate to have saved the little prince, ho
Since it was rush hour, traffic was terribleWhen Miranda arrived, she was already late.As soon as she got onto the building of the Rave county. Maya Quentin and Jane Emerson were smiling from ear toear as they stepped out of the auditionbuilding. They were surrounded by a crowd that offered congratulations.Seeing Miranda from afar, sweating as she hurried to the building. Maya looked at her with the same gaze from four years ago. It was the gaze of a deity looking down on an ant.A trail of dust was left behind as Mayaarrogantly left on her minivan. Miranda quickly ran into the building after seeing Maya and Jane depart.It wasn't too late!Suddenly, Miranda ran into a group of people who were chatting cheerfully as they were walking. They were the panel of judges for the"Ancient Demons" auditions.“Sorry, I'm late" Miranda bowed deeply.Seeing that Miranda had blocked their path and interrupted them, a couple of the judges exchanged looks, clearly unhappy.No one liked peopl
Miranda Quentin looked weary when she arrived at the gate of the mansion. Upon seeing her, the security quickly opened the door and she went into the house without wasting any more time.However, as she got into the living room, she was stunned when she saw Ivy Haddock, Curtis Smith as well as Roland Peyton pacing around the living room worriedly.She seems to be calling someone. As soon as she turned around, her gaze met with Miranda's and she quickly dropped the phone and ran over to her.“Where on earth have you been all night, Mira?” Ivy Haddock asked as she pulled her into a warm hug.“I was so worried about you that I couldn't keep my soul in check” Ivy Haddock lamented as she pulled away from her embrace. Then, she looked at her face with concern.“What happened, Mira? You looked very sick, did something happen?” Ivy Haddock continued to ask.Miranda Quentin saw that Curtis Smith was extending a glass of water to her through her peripheral view, so she moved away from Ivy Had
Miranda returned to the room to grab a set of new bed sheets and pillow covers afterfinding the clothes. The sofa in the living room was not bigenough for Isaiah to stretch his long legs.She could only move a stool over to addlength to the makeshift bed. She didn't have to worry at all for Brian.He washed in the bath. put on the cutepajamas by himself, and then headed for the bed. Miranda finished bathing and changed into a more conservative pair of pajamas. Shewalked out after checking that she lookeddecent. “That... Mr. Kenton. I'm going to sleep first. Call me if you need anything." "Yes." Isaiah's gaze lost focus as helooked at the freshly bathed Miranda. Thedepths of his eyes darkened overwhelmingly. The girl was wearing the most ordinarypair of pajamas and had her hair tied into a pumpkin. She had a fresh face and hersmooth skin held a natural flush from theshower's steam. He could tell that Miranda had dressedconservatively. There was nothinginappropriate
Miranda was woken by a man's low voice from the living room the following morning.Isaiah put down his phone after hearingthe footsteps behind him. He asked with a warm tone, "Did I wake you?"Miranda stared at the man before her, hereyes as wide as saucers. Isaiah was not wearing a shirt. So the moment she had pushed the door open, her view had been filled with bare skin.She rubbed her nose. Luckily she had notdone anything embarrassing.Isaiah seemed not to have noticed herabnormal expression. Instead, he calmlypicked up his shirt from the sofa to wear. He said while buttoning up his shirt: "There's an emergency at work, I have to leave now could I trouble you to wake Brian up?""Oh, okay” Miranda nodded as she hurried to call for Brian.But it turned out that she didn't have to call for him. She saw a soft and impossibly ute Pikachu the moment she turned around. He was staring straight at his dear father, Isaiah, without blinking. His expression was clearly unhappy."Brian, g
Emily was so worried that her heart wasbreaking at the stiff pair of father and son, “Isaiah, do you even hear what I'm saying? Also, what's wrong with Brian? He hasn't eaten a bite of food all night and he's holding that phone like it's a priceless treasure!" Jake was chewing on somesweet-and-sour ribs, so his voice wasunclear, "Brian is waiting for the prettylady's call!" Emily was perplexed, "What pretty lady?” Jake waved his hands, "Mum, Dad, don'tworry so much. Brother already hassomeone he likes!" Emily was surprised but uncertain."You're telling the truth? Jake, don't trickus!" At this time Edda also solemnly putdown his chopsticks, eyeing Jakesuspiciously. “Why would I try to trick you, this isabsolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can ask him!" Jake looked toward his brother as he said so. "Isaiah, is what Jake said real?" Eddaasked in a low voice. "Isaiah, dear, say something!" Emily prompted him with impatience. "Yes." Isaiah agreed. Emily stil
Brian loved silence. He would typicallyhide in his room by himself when he wasdone eating. The household staff had toreturn to their rooms immediately aftercompleting their tasks. They couldn't make any sound or it would disturb Brian, making him irritable or even lose control.Emily had previously sent some snacks tohis room, worried that he wasn't eatingenough. But Brian locked himself up in the attic.Thus, no matter how much their parentsLoved Brian, they didn't dare to move in with Isaiah and Jake.Yet Brian had taken the initiative to comeOut?Not only that, but Brian ran towardsIsaiah hugged his leg.Jake laughed out loud, "Brian, what areyou doing? Hugging for some allowance?Isaiah lowered his head to look at his sonand was able to tell what he wanted in asingle glance. He rejected it withouthesitation, "No, you already went over lastnight"Thus Brian's gaze landed on his phone"You already called once during dinner."Isaiah rejected him again.Jake finally unde
"Shit!" Miranda hissed and immediately got up from the bed when she felt a familiar feeling after she woke up. She rushed to their bathroom sink andpuked. She was puking but there was nothing that was coming out of her mouth. She even used her finger to let it out but there was none. She washed her face and gripped the edge of the sink. Then she looked at her face in the mirror panting. She had been like this for almost a weekalready. And she was familiar with this scene already. Because she had experienced this in the past. She went back to their bedroom andchecked the pregnancy test kit in the pouch. She just bought that yesterday when she went shopping with Brian. “Found ya!" She already found the pregnancy kit. When she returned to the bathroom and did what she must. She laid the kit on the sink then she walked back and forth to kill time. Her hands were sweaty and she could feel her heartbeat race. And after three minutes had passed, Miranda stopped walking and picked u
Time ticked forward slower than it usuallyseemed. At this moment, Isaiah felt like one of hisfeet was buried in the grave. He knew how complex their situation was, so he had the faintest idea about how Miranda would react. His face turned pale as nervousness crept into his bones. Anxious, he clenched both of his hands into fists. Just when anxiety was about to get thebetter of him, warm and soft lips brushed against his lips, calming his body in a heartbeat. In a seemingly endless night, their lipsentwined.“Don't be sorry, I'm glad that it was you because I couldn't be more thankful that it's not somebody else," Miranda reassured as she held Isaiah's face. The overpowering flames had finally subsided, the ashes had turned into soil, the flowers had suddenly bloomed, and the tunnel finally ended. Enchanting as it might sound, everythingjust fell into its rightful place. Isaiah wrapped Miranda in his arms, unwilling to let go. With hungry desires, he kissed her deeply, someh
Their curious eyes followed the older manas he entered this heated stage of familydrama. The man looked at Maya withextreme displeasure and lambasted hermercilessly. "To think that young lady like you could besuch a vixen. How dare you spout lies andsmear someone's innocence with yourslanderous accusations! Stop making rumors out of nothing! I examined Ms. Miranda and Brian myself, and they matched by a ninety-nine point nine percent! Brian was her flesh and blood. If anyone has any doubts, they can come to me" The older man was Richard Newton. He was the previous directorate in the Imperial Military Hospital, and his words alone were enough to discard Maya's claims down the drain. As soon as they saw him, Richard instantly dispelled everyone's doubts. What more could his words have done? It's slapped those who bear evil in their minds hard. The whispers of these vultures preying onthe Kenton family's situation buzzed through Maya's deafening silence. "So it's true!” "De
Time flew by with days painted withdifferent colors. Some days were grim butbrighter on other occasions, and today might be just one of those days. And today was a special day. It wasIsaiah's birthday. People gathered around the garden of theKenton family villa. The guests' faces gleamed with smiles as they sang along to the melodious happy birthday song. A towering ten-layered birthday cake sat on a cart, slowly getting pushed by Jake toward the celebrant. Series of applause clasp to the song's melody as they greet Isaiah and his family auspiciously. Miranda, Brian, and Isaiah were standingbeside each other, dressed in similar colors. The joy reflected in their eyes rubbed on their guests as they watched with them, the strips of their memories on the ED screen. Seeing their harmonious display of familial love, the guests found them pleasing to the eye. Most of those photos put on display weresecretly taken by Jake. Miranda glanced at Isaiah and his brother in surprise and
A week later, The Entertainment City held an official press conference where they released an official video of the evidencethey'd gathered. Isaiah found the video inthe surveillance camera at the company'sfront door and intercepted the video of Lucas and Miranda's conversation, but the sound was not recorded. Fortunately, Miranda had the audiorecording with her. Because the video was taken at night, thethe image was very dark, and only two peoplecould be seen in the distance: a woman and a slightly taller man. Miranda's voice was Heard, so who was the other person? Just say whatever you are going to say,"Miranda's voice said. The man then stammered before asking,"Miranda, could we... Could we start over?"When everyone was at a loss for words, the man continued to speak, "Miranda, I am well aware that I am far from perfect and that I have made a plethora of decisions that I am not proud of. However, I regretted it all. Although it took me a long time to realize my mistake
Meanwhile at Kenton's Group. As soon as Martin heard that Miranda was coming. he hurriedly went to the lobby to greet and fetch her in person. Seeing him, Miranda followed behind and took the direct elevator to the top floor. After accompanying her to Isaiah's officeMartin left immediately. Miranda, who had maintained a seriousexpression upon arriving at the company.immediately changed her temperament after closing Isaiah's office door. She dashed toward him as she happily said "I'm here, honey” “0f course, you are!” Isaiah said andautomatically raised his head from the pile of documents to review on his tableAs soon as his eyes fell on her, his expression froze. His eyes darkened and he pursed his lips. It was the same school uniform. With her short skirt, hair tied in ponytails,bare face, and rosy lips, she looked nothing like an artist who had been working in the entertainment industry for so long. Instead, she looked like a carefree and innocent college student. Mira
After a heartfelt conversation, Emily andMiranda went home together. As soon as Brian saw the latter, heimmediately dashed toward her. of course, Miranda welcomed the little kid with a big tight hug. However, her face was full of faint traces of distress. Emily's story kept replaying in her mind, so she couldn't help but wonder how hard it must've been for Brian to lose up and open his heart again after being betrayed by the person he trusted so much. Having known everything that hadhappened, Miranda found Brian's trust and dependence on her in a different light. She was suddenly enlightened about how much weight they possessed. Isaiah approached not long after, so Emilylooked at him in all seriousness. Then, she said, "Isaiah, come with me first. I have something to tell you” Isaiah glanced at Miranda first before going after his mother. After ensuring that they were far enoughfrom the two, Emily faced her son and said, “I told Miranda that someone pretended to be Brian's
“Don't mind that guy, sweetheart. You're only lowering yourself to that trash's level if you do," Miranda reminded. Her eyes carried an ominous stillness behind. 'Is it possible? Miranda scornfully repeated in her mind. Where did he even get the courage to askthis question?' she scoffed internally. The following day, Miranda unexpectedlyreceived a call from Brian's grandmotherEmily. She asked to meet with her at a cafe over the phone, saying she had something important to tell her. Although a little confused, Miranda agreed, and the two met up at the designated location. When Miranda got to the cafe, she instantly felt something heavy might fall. Emily sat before Miranda in rooted silence, carrying a truckload of emotions on her shoulders. “Thanks for seeing me today, Miranda," Emily said breaking the ice. “It's my pleasure." Miranda smiled which Emily returned. “ I came to see you today for two reasons. I wanted to thank you for everything you did for Brian and Isaiah. And,
Hearing Floral and Victor's anger forMiranda, Maya smirked. Then she dramatically cried again "Dad, Mom, I did not really suffer because of her. This is a good thing. Because l can finally concentrate on helping you run the company. I know that there are a lot of things to do in the company right now” she uttered. "Maya, it's fine. If you really thought of this well, then we will support you. Everything will pass, too. Just remember that mom and dad will always be by your side," Floral softly said. The couple spent more time comfortingtheir supposed daughter inside Victor'sstudy room. Soon, Maya decided to leave the room.Only Victor and Maya were left inside.Victor was furious about what had happenedto Maya. He grimaced after reading anewspaper headline. It was about Maya and Kate again.Their pictures together just reminded him of the truth. ....... Maya decided to conduct her pressConference at Newton Hotel. After the incident, she never showed upagain except for Jane
