He was annoyed beyond all measures at seeing her. Why did he even put her pictures on the desk? Was he masochistic?She puckered her lips. Her beautiful face turned red. The calm of her face was disturbed as if a stone had fallen in a quiet lake, causing splashes and ripples.She turned the frame down and put it where it was. Heaving an exhausted sigh, she sat on the boss's chair, swiveling around and recalling everything that had happened in Yang City.She had had such a good time there because of him. All the scars that past love had left on her had been healed.It might be him who had made Sunny dance to 'Little Apple' in the square. Who else could make the daughter of the Yang family do that?She really didn't know what he was thinking.He thought she was stupid and pudding-headed, yet he forced her to stay with him...all so he could keep feeding her sugar-coated bullets.His heart ached at the very sight of her and still he had put her photos where he could see them all day long.
'Little pineapple?' Hazel thought to herself. Who was this guy?"You are...?" she spoke awkwardly at last."Big coconut! The big coconut from Maldives!" Walt said.Hazel's eyes widened and her mouth fell open as she suddenly recalled who he was. When she was a freshman, Hazel had gone to Maldives to look for Hanson, but he was in Europe. She never ended up meeting him but stayed there alone for a couple of days. One of those days, she had met a handsome man on the beach. On a whim, she had made a painting of him, looking at him from a distance. Unexpectedly, he had found out. This was how they'd first met. Hazel hung out with him for that night and the entirety of the next day. Because she was alone and didn't know him well, she never told him her name. She just asked him to call her 'little pineapple'. And he asked her to call him 'big coconut'."Oh my god! I didn't expect to meet you here, big coconut!" She smiled wholeheartedly."Me neither! I haven't seen you for so many years! Y
"So... the reason why you don't want to marry my sister is because of her," Vinton said with a rather gloomy expression on his face. Since he came back, he had heard nothing but his mother, full of righteous indignation, ceaselessly complaining about something Valery was involved in. Truth be told, his ears had started to hurt, so he had been escaping the house in the last couple of days to play golf and to give his ears a break.Of course, he himself was hoping that Valery could marry into a wealthy family, as that would benefit him in his fight against Alice for the family successor role. But if Zac was unwilling to marry his sister, why did he knock her up? Was Valery's position as a daughter of the Xu family too humble for him?"If you were in my shoes, who would you pick: her or your sister?" Zac asked slowly. As a typical man, Vinton was not sophisticated in his tastes, but he did adore women and he had no problems saying what he thought.Vinton was silent for a moment. If it we
The little white golf ball flew out and landed right beside the hole in a graceful and professional manner, and the stroke was neither too strong nor too weak. The golf ball rolled twice and then fell right into the hole."Yeah, it is in!" Eva was so excited that she started dancing around.Everyone was surprised!Hazel put the club on her shoulder and turned around. Then, she put her hand on her waist and cracked a smile, making the two dimples on her face appear. "What do you think? I caught a nice birdie, right?" she asked."It was just sheer luck," Leila snorted. She had been hoping to watch this stupid sparrow make a fool of herself. She didn't expect that Hazel successfully pulled off something like that. What a despicable bitch she was.Christina looked at her sister and sighed. Her sister was obviously jealous. 'Why does she have to do this? They are already married. The best thing to do is to let go!' she thought.With his arms crossed in front of his chest, Jim looked at Zac
"Thank you, Mr. Vinton!" Eva let out a soft smile that was as beautiful as a blossoming peony. Astonished, Vinton took out a business card from his pocket and said, "Give me your number, so that we can go out and have some fun once we have the time.""Okay." Eva took the card and gave him her telephone number.With a sneer on his lips, Jim thought about how Eva was cold to him, but gentle to Vinton. It looked like she wasn't as naive as he thought she was, after all.'Oh my God, why are you letting yourself get so close to Vinton?' Hazel was worried about Eva in her mind.After Vinton saved her phone number, he looked at Jim with a smile and said, "You must show mercy. You can't bully our Eva. And, of course, you can't apply the hidden rules to her."He wanted to have sex with this beautiful woman."I won't do that even if she volunteers to sleep with me."Eva chuckled and covered her mouth. "Jim wouldn't like me. He likes pretty girls with nice shapes, such as Bonnie, Hanna..." She l
Author's note: This is the chapter I previously advised you to skip. This is the time when it is intended to show up.*Walt had already devised the perfect plot against his brother. Everything was going according to his plan, using Valery, Elizabeth and Vinton to accomplish it. The last thing he expected was for the woman he longed for to appear halfway and involve herself in the deadly whirlpool he had spent so much time building.It seemed as though God was not on his side, and always found a way to throw obstacles on his way. However, even God couldn't stop or hold him back. He wanted to take control of the Rong family, and he also wanted the girl. There was no way he would let anything slip under his eyes again.When dinner ended, Hazel and Zac drove Eva back to her rented apartment before going back to the dreaded Rong Mansion.While waiting for the stop light to turn green, Zac turned his head and looked at Hazel and said, "I didn't expect that you were so capable when it came
Hazel simply sat on the table, and with nothing else to do, so she stared at the two beautiful men sitting in front of her admiringly.She had to admit that the two did not look like twins at all.Zac had a strikingly handsome face, a combination of both his parent's essence and strengths. Besides that, he was born with an exceptional aura and an alluring charm. However, Walt's good-looking appearance seemed to only be inherited from the Rong family and did not seem to have any of Mary's genes.There was a saying that a mother can have nine children and they would all turn out differently.This saying sounded reasonable in this case.While Hazel was sitting blankly, lost in her thoughts, Mary and Valery walked in.Walt was not surprised to find Valery there as he had already known that she moved in the mansion while he was still in the United States.What he couldn't fathom was the fact that Hazel seemed to tolerate her existence. Living with Valery must be such a daunting experience
"Let bygones be bygones. There's no need for us to talk about it again," she replied lightly."Yes, it has been four years, after all." Walt smiled bitterly. She had totally forgotten him, whereas he had always thought of her and looked for her desperately.After a moment's silence, he said, "Aren't you bothered by that matter between Zac and Valery?""I have no problem with anything that happened before I knew Zac," she said lightly with a shrug, deliberately putting on a nonchalant demeanor. In the Rong family, there were Valery and Mary, who were scheming and malicious toward her at every turn. They intended to have her kicked out of the family, so she must be extremely cautious with every word she uttered and every move she made.Walt's eyes darkened. "It is good that you don't mind. That way, your relationship won't suffer.""Don't worry, my relationship with Zac is stronger than the moorstone," said Hazel with a light laugh, full of confidence in what she had just said. However,
