“Amy, I'm warning you...” DespiteChase's efforts to warn her ex, shepersisted to talk, glaring, and pushinghim away. “I just wanted to make a few things clearto everyone here.”Taking a full turn,Amelia looked at the crowd andannounced, "I was the common friendbetween Jacintha and Chase." Shelaughed and resumed, "Because I wasChase's girlfriend until the last few weeks! And Anna is my best friend since my first year of college!” "Chase, do something” Jacintha glaredat her husband, and Amelia saw the angern her eyes after she had announced thetruth to everyone in the venue. “But, it's okay," Amelia smiled and said to Jacintha's parents, seeing how they were flustered about the situation "I love Anna as my sister I certainly don't mind, giving her my hand-me-down.” “Anna, And I can't blame Chase. ” Amelia shifted her gaze to her ex and revealed, "I never gave him my virginity. Somehow, Ialways knew, he wasn't worthy of mypurity! , Chase” Looking at the guests, she a
After a month of intense shooting, the film was nearly finished. The director reserved a private room and held a banquet to celebrate. Getting a chance to unwind after such a long time of intensive workload, Miranda was excited to go for the part. Miranda was also delighted, drinking a lot of alcohol, causing her to want to go to the bathroom. She was so pressed that she couldn't hold back the urge to ease herself. Even though she was really almost in a drunken state, Miranda managed to find her way to the bathroom. After she finished, Miranda stumbled back in the direction she had come. The hotel's hallways were twisting like a maze. She searched for a long time before finally finding the room. However, she was stunned when shepushed the door open. The room was full of strangers, and it wasclearly much bigger and more lavish thanthe room the cast and crew ordered. "Sorry, I've got the wrong room."Miranda made her apology and was justabout to leave when a fat, greasy hand

Rodney hurried over with rage written on his face.Miranda pinched the bridge of her nose, "I realized that it didn't feel right after Ipierced her. The blade didn't retract!"It was supposed to be a retractablesword. Once it met force, it should haveretracted. She had not expected that anaccident like this would happen.Rodney flew into a rage, "Where's the propdirector! Come out now! I told you a million times to check everything properly!

Hawk had heard that there was a wine party for business tonight and that Isaiah would be there. Isaiah rejected his business cooperation proposal and he was so agitated to make him change his mind. He was really invested in making him change his mind about his decision to not work with him. He had rushed over early and even specially made some preparations. In theend, it was exactly as he expected Isaiah rejected all his overtures. Isaiah hadn't even glanced at thepriceless antique calligraphy scroll that he had bought, He oven brought a fresh and bright virgin girl and hinted at giving her to him, but his expression Was the same. As if he was looking at some vegetable. Just as he was getting anxious, the call hehad been waiting for finally came through. "Hello, why are you only calling me now?Have you done it yet?" "Yes, we 've done it we are on the way back” “Hurry up! Bring that person over in 10 minutes! The room is 206, don't get it wrong!” "Please rest assured! We'
In the next second, Isaiah reached outand quickly pushed open the door, After one glance, he stopped where he stood. The air was quickly filled with terrifyinglycold intent. The man's eyes shot towards the nearby Jake like daggers "You looked?" Jake was so frightened that he pressedup against the door and spoke feebly, "If Ididn't look, how would I have known that she was Sister-In-law? You're not going to get jealous about this too, are you? I can't even see anything with those clothes and flower petals covering her Also If I hadn'tdiscovered her thanks to my curiosity, who knows what would have happened to her tonight? No matter how l look at this, my merits outweigh my wrongs” Isaiah, "Get out!" "Yes sir. Thank you for being so gracious,my lord'" After getting tet off the hook thistime. Jake escaped immediately. He knew that curiosity killed a cat, buthe couldn't help himself Even after dodging a thousand bullets, he still couldn't fix this bad habit! After Jake fled,
“I have no strength at all. Could you helpme get to the bathroom? I'll be fine after Isoak in a cold water bath.” Miranda said. She was low and fuzzy. "Wait for a bit. I'll help you fill-up the tub" "Thank you" The distinct sound of the water splashingin the bathroom rang distinctly in the quiet room and she felt a sense of ease and relief. After some time, the sound of the waterstopped and she heard footsteps"Can you walk?" Isaiah asked. "I think I can. just support me for asecond" Isaiah reached out his arms to supporther and even thoughtfully maintained adistance between them. Only his arms were in contact with her. When her body was finally submerged inthe icy water, Miranda gave a comfortable sigh“ Mmm.” Isaiah's expression tensed up, " I'm leaving first. If you need anything, just call me. Don't soak in the cold water for too long and be careful not to catch a cold” “Okay. I won't ” Miranda nodded and said. Isaiah turned and left. The back of his figure conv
Miranda gazed out the window at the inkyblack night. She continued with an airy tone, “Back then, for some reason, the tension I had been holding back for five years just snapped I suddenly felt that there was no meaning in living I felt that I was a failure. Was it because I just wasn't good enough that everyone hated me? I had worked so hard for so long, but there was no meaning to it in the end” Right after she had just finished speakingIsaiah suddenly pulled her shoulderstowards him with some force, "Miranda, look at me. Not everyone hates you, They're the ones who aren't good enough. Understand?” Miranda's eyes turned slightly redEven if she had always been acting heartless, like she didn't care, she was still a young lady who was only in her twenties. Isaiah drew her into his embrace andkissed the top of her head gentlyMiranda felt something heavy press on the top of her head. but didn't know what it was. Isaiah stared at her earnestly, "Miranda, ifyou doubt yourself,
Jake was about to spurt through thedoor and save her. but when he saw the situation inside, he had been completely turned around, he froze on the spot and started blankly. “Goddamnit, she brought a gun! Holy shitIf I'm not wrong. that's actually a real gun. Where did she get that?" Jake lookedat it, unbelievable. Inside the room, Dewey stared at the gun in Miranda's hand. He was deathly afraid that she would open fire without saying a word again. She hadn't even given him a chance toreact. “I..I I.Everything I said was the truth!There wasn't a single liel Otherwise, maylightning strike me on the spot" Miranda didn't speak, and it wasn't clear ifshe believed him. She spun the gun in herhands until it almost became an indistinctblur. “My dear lord! Be careful not to dischargeaccidentally!” Dewey was about to pee his pants fromwatching her. Trembling with fear, he saidhurriedly, "if.. If you want me to lie andtestify that Maya paid me to do it. I can do that! Without
"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.
