"She did.""I see." Christine gritted her teeth in secret.Since that wretched person couldn't take a hint and insisted on sticking close to her mother, she shouldn't blame her if things turned out badly. She had missed her chance with the Shaw family before, but no matter what, she wouldn't let go of Yasmin, who was an even bigger prize! At least that was what she thought.As soon as I hung up the phone, Jane came over. "You look so happy. What's the good news?""Ms. Jackson wants to help make some connections." I put down my phone. "She invited me to join her for a dinner party tomorrow.""That's great news!" Jane was also pleased. "I was just worried about how to boost your reputation in the domestic market. You know, even though we could talk business with a pile of awards, it still feels like it would be more harm than good.""Those who want to spend money on custom designs are looking for prestige, and when we seek them out ourselves, it's easy for us to be looked down upon

On the way to the hotel, the driver was at the wheel. We sat in the back seat, and Ryan was somewhat silent. Occasionally, he would glance at me but remained silent.He didn't speak, and I didn't particularly want to talk to him either, so I remained quiet as well.The hotel wasn't too far away. In silence, we soon arrived."Was that little boy who called you 'Aunt' Frank's nephew?" After a long while, Ryan's deep and hoarse voice finally broke the silence in the car.I looked up at him and met his complex black eyes. "Yes, he's the child of his cousin."Ryan seemed a bit agitated. He subconsciously took out a cigarette from his cigarette case, put it between his lips, and looked at me before stopping and not lighting it. He irritably tossed the cigarette into the ashtray in the car, his eyes fixed on me as he hesitated, then finally asked, "Are you and Frank together?"His voice had a barely perceptible tremor.I looked at him, feeling no sense of guilt at all. It felt as thoug

Ryan remained silent for quite a while. I couldn't tell what he was thinking. After a significant pause, he spoke softly, "Did it hurt?"I shook my head. "It doesn't hurt anymore."He shook his head as well. "No, I mean, did it hurt at the time?""It was okay." I licked my lips. "It wasn't the most painful thing for me.""I remember…" Ryan's voice had a nasal quality. "You were afraid of needles even when getting blood drawn."I chuckled lightly. "I was afraid of pain back then, but not so much anymore."Later on, one thing after another made me realize that pain was the simplest and most straightforward thing. There was nothing to be afraid of.Plus, being trapped in depression and having secretly stopped my medication when I first arrived in Frankes, I couldn't control my emotions. At that time, I didn't even have the luxury to think about pain. The knife was already in the wound before I even realized it.As I spoke, the car had already parked in the driveway, and the driv

"Scarlet!" Yasmin poked her on the head. "I suspect that the rumors online slandering me were spread by you."Suddenly, Ryan came over with a glass of wine, clinking it from a distance. "Ms. Jackson, it's been a while."His gaze, however, kept drifting towards me."Mr. Frost, I didn't expect you to be here tonight as well," said Yasmin, somewhat surprised. She saw through his intentions but didn't address them directly. Instead, she asked, "When did you become interested in our entertainment industry?""Just looking to get a piece of the pie," Ryan smiled and said calmly. "I'm just not sure if Ms. Jackson is willing to cooperate?"In other words, the RF Group was considering entering the entertainment industry. Out of respect for Yasmin, he wanted to give her a heads-up to avoid any future misunderstandings.Yasmin smiled. "Mr. Frost, you’re hilarious. It’s the survival of the fittest in any industry."From a distance, Christine watched the scene with gritted teeth.Her mother

Ryan was pulled away by a well-known director to discuss investment matters.As I was engaged in a lively conversation with Yasmin, a waiter came over."Miss, your juice.""Thank you."Such events offer this kind of service. Without much thought, I reached out to take it when Christine walked over.Seeing this, Yasmin reached out to check her forehead and said softly and caringly, "Sweetie, Joanne said you weren't feeling well. Are you feeling better now?""Much better, Mom." Christine stood next to her, looking obedient, and gazed dreamily at Scarlet. "Scarlet, I saw online that you'll be going to be a regular on a slow-life variety show next month. Could you take me along to experience it?"Hearing this, I roughly understood her intention—her interest in joining the entertainment industry had not waned.The show Scarlet was joining involved a director selecting a rural area, inviting a few talented actors or actresses, and adding a couple of new faces to experience leisurely

Christine took a sip from her glass after the comment.Since she was Yasmin's daughter, I couldn't refuse her request and also took a sip, saying, "Don't worry. It's a part of my job.""Ms. Jackson!" A glamorous actress came over to greet Yasmin.I seized the opportunity to speak. "Ms. Jackson, you carry on. I need to use the toilet."For some reason, despite the air conditioning in the banquet hall, I felt unusually restless. Once in the toilet, I stood at the sink, turning on the tap and repeatedly washing my hands, then splashing cold water on my arms. However, it didn't provide any relief. If anything, the discomfort worsened. Feeling extremely restless, I turned off the tap and suddenly felt dizzy. I quickly grabbed the sink to steady myself.In a daze, a thought crossed my mind. ‘I've been drugged.’From the moment I left the house until now, the only thing I had drunk was a sip of juice from the server. If someone had intentionally drugged me at this event, then th

Especially considering the methods of that man, she knew he could handle an orphan without difficulty. She had always been unsure of what she was truly worried about.Hearing this, Yasmin felt even more guilty towards her daughter. "It's okay. I’m right here with you, aren’t I? If it gets damaged or lost, I will get you a new one!""Thank you, Mom!" Christine smiled brightly. "But it's alright. It means a lot to me. It was the first gift you gave me, and if I replace it, it won't hold the same meaning. I want to keep it as it is."That man had warned her. If she flaunted it, he would deal with her personally. She still didn't have the resources to fight back. He had personally placed her in this position, but if he decided otherwise, she could easily be brought back to her original state."You silly girl." Yasmin affectionately pinched her cheeks. "Then go take off your makeup and take care of your skin. It's not good for your skin to leave it on.""Okay."Christine returned to h

He sounded like he had caught me cheating on him.Here is the English translation of the passage:Although it wasn't the case, I still felt somewhat uneasy. I looked at Ryan and said, "Mr. Frost, he's here to pick me up, so... I won't trouble you any longer. Thank you!"With that, I leaned against the car and walked towards the Mulsanne."You..."Ryan looked at me with concern, his dark eyes swirling with emotion. He took a step closer but didn't say anything, simply helping me into Frank's car.He then turned to Frank and said coldly, "There's no need for misunderstandings. She's been drugged. I'm entrusting her to you because I believe you won't take advantage of her situation."Frank sneered. "Mr. Frost, that's quite amusing. Whether I take advantage of her or not is none of your business. If I remember correctly, you no longer have any relationship with Charlotte."Ryan's back stiffened slightly, and he seemed somewhat dazed before he spoke, "Such matters are best handled w

Whitney deeply regretted it when Caleb pinned her down in the hot spring pool.She should have just driven the car back slowly. Once they were in the city, she could switch drivers.She could have said she was nervous driving, that she was too tired, and surely she would have been able to avoid all of this.Instead, she had chosen to stay here and do something so embarrassing."This is an outdoor hot spring..."The boldest thing Whitney had ever done was when a man with some power had used his position to take advantage of her.At that time, she had been truly frustrated.She had worked so hard, with blood on her hands, just to survive and live a stable life.Yet, there was always someone trying to make her life difficult.In a fit of anger, she had used a brow-shaping knife to hurt that man.If it weren't for meeting Zachary, she would definitely be worse off than a street rat by now.But Caleb could always break her understanding of things and perform such bold actions."

"Georgina should know him better than I do, since you've known him longer than I have."Georgina nodded. "That's true, which is why I asked you if he's always bullying you. I just know how annoying his personality can be."Millie agreed, "Exactly.""Whitney, I've told you from the moment I met you—if you're being bullied, you have to tell me."But Whitney had never told her anything!She had thought that Caleb loved her so much that he wouldn't do anything to bully Whitney.But today, she realized that wasn't the case."You really have to listen to Georgina."Whitney nodded repeatedly but still said, "He hasn't bullied me, you guys don't need to worry."Some things, even though she admired and liked the Georgina, she couldn't say.If Caleb got angry, she would be the one to suffer. And perhaps it would also affect the Collins family.Since there was nothing wrong between them as a couple, outsiders wouldn't say much.Georgina's earlier remarks were also a subtle probe.It

Millie laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She pointed at Caleb with a chicken leg. "Look at you now."She hugged Whitney, unable to contain her excitement. "You really stood up for me, Whitney."Whitney slowly processed what had just happened and turned to look at Caleb.Caleb, arms crossed, leaned back in his chair with a displeased expression on his face.Whitney nervously bit her lip. "I'm sorry..."Caleb's displeasure deepened. "Why are you apologizing?"Whitney looked at him sincerely. "I shouldn't have joined in teasing you. You're my husband, I should have spoken up for you."Caleb's anger suddenly dissipated.He patted Whitney on the head. "Alright, you've made progress. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."Whitney nodded. "Thank you."The three girls across from them were all taken aback.The one laughing the hardest, Millie, was now staring wide-eyed.She had never seen anyone pursue someone like this.Caleb was unbelievable.Blake, ho

Whitney glanced at the steak and said she wasn't going to eat anymore, she was full.But her gaze remained fixed on Georgina.Caleb was rendered speechless.Georgina noticed this and rested her chin in her hand, looking at Whitney with a smile. "Whit likes me, doesn't she?"Up until now, only Jane and the others had called her Whit.But hearing it from her idol felt completely different.Whitney immediately felt a surge of nervousness. The flush from the hot spring had barely faded, but now it quickly came rushing back.She stammered, unable to speak for a long while.Georgina's smile deepened. "What's so embarrassing? I like Whit too.""That’s enough." Caleb tightened his grip on his knife and fork, afraid he might accidentally fling them."Lucifer's getting old, and he's not satisfying you anymore, is he?"What was she doing, flirting with his wife?Georgina removed her hand from her chin and gave Caleb a big thumbs up."I wouldn't dare to say that word, but you're reall

"If I stopped him from coming in, the things he could do would be worse than what's happening now."Yvonne changed into a green, form-fitting long dress, adjusting her makeup and hair in front of the mirror."Then I wouldn't be able to do business at all."Georgina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "I can tell you never really intended to stop him."Yvonne glanced at her, her eyes soft and seductive.Georgina reached out and pinched her. "If I were him, I'd want to sleep with you too.""Get lost." Yvonne pushed her hand away. "Then have Lucifer handle it for me. Anyway, I don't have the authority to stop Blake. He’s a member of the Hilton family, after all."Georgina straightened up and became serious. "Are you sure?"Yvonne didn't answer, adjusting the straps of her dress as she walked out of the bathroom.Georgina smiled. "I knew you weren't serious."She draped her arm around Yvonne's shoulder as they walked out together. "Let's have a good talk. His paren

Caleb truly couldn't interfere. In fact, he hadn't planned to get too involved in Blake's affairs.Occasionally, he could play the supporting role, and that was enough.He stepped aside to make way.Georgina immediately left.Whitney slowly blinked her eyes.Georgina was her idol, and she wanted to become someone like her.Someone who had confidence in everything she did, completely unafraid of offending anyone."Let's go." Millie patted Whitney's shoulder. "If someone didn't know any better, they'd think you had feelings for Georgina. Your husband's still around. If he gets jealous, he might just smash this place to the ground."Whitney did indeed like Georgina, but it wasn't that kind of like.It was admiration and respect.Just as she was about to say something, she met Caleb's cold gaze and changed her words."I'm just worried. Blake seems to be in a bad mood."Millie told her not to worry. "Everything has its match. It's just something between men and women.""And wit

The people at Yvonne's place were all professionally trained, and later, when Georgina married Lucifer, Lucifer had even placed several of his men here.Even though Lucifer and his eldest brother were practically inseparable, he still couldn't get any information from them."Mr. Caleb, it's been a while since I've seen you out having fun."He didn't plan to ask about the people he recognized either. After all, he didn't want anyone to know that his wife had left him to come here and have fun."Blake is here. I'm afraid he might do something stupid, so I came to check on him."Everyone who came to this place knew about the situation between Blake and Yvonne.The Hilton family was not one to be provoked, especially since Yvonne was very close to Lucifer's wife.Two major families—this wasn't something they could just casually comment on.In the past, there were some who tried to "save" Yvonne, but they never showed up again.Later, everyone figured that this might be a kind of g

"Mr. Blake, my relationship with you is merely that of an owner and a guest," she said. "You come, I entertain you, but you have no right to stick your nose into my business."She could wear whatever she wanted.Even if some people had ill intentions, that was their problem.What did her choice of clothes have to do with anything?Back when Caleb and the others came to play, in the summer, she wore even less, and no one had acted inappropriately.Anyone who wanted to act out inappropriately couldn't even step foot through this door anymore.Blake didn't know what she was thinking, but just looking at her attire, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.Silently, he put the coat back over her shoulders, and said gruffly, "It's cold."Caleb found the situation amusing but remained concerned about Whitney, so he didn't smile.At least he knew that with Mrs. Scholfield around, they wouldn't dare make a scene.Otherwise, Lucifer would turn this place into ruins.The tall building

“Georgina.” Whitney took the initiative to walk over and greet her. "Haven’t seen you in ages."Georgina smiled. "Everything's ready. Let's change first. We can talk while soaking in the hot springs."Millie led Whitney to the changing rooms.Yvonne mentioned that she had important guests today and would join them later.Georgina nodded.Caleb and Blake bumped into each other at the entrance.Blake had feelings for his family, but perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, his personality had grown colder over the years.It wasn't that he didn't care, it was just that he couldn't be like Caleb, always smiling, with a more lively temperament."Caleb.""Blake."Caleb didn't waste time with pleasantries. There was no need between relatives.He walked briskly inside.Blake followed and asked what had happened.Caleb asked the receptionist where Millie's room was.The receptionist smiled professionally. "Mr. Caleb, I'm sorry, although you hold immense power, I still c
