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

At a certain six-star hotel.After taking a shower, Christine received a phone call.On the other end of the line, Jack stood by the window, his half-closed eyes were fierce. "Did you not hear anything I said?"When he chose Christine, it was because she was vulnerable and easy to manipulate. She didn't seem very clever either. But if one day she disobeyed, Jack was prepared to deal with her without hesitation.Christine gripped her phone tightly. She hadn't expected Jack to get the news so quickly!Fortunately, she had anticipated that Jack might find out and come to question her. She wasn't too flustered, and presented the explanation she had prepared, feigning ignorance. "Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"Jack's face was dark. "Someone drugged Charlotte at the party!"Jack might tolerate other issues, but this particular matter was not something he would allow to happen."What?" Christine was genuinely surprised, sounding as if she didn't know anything. "Someone d

At noon, only Whitney admitted that Jane was her sister-in-law. Jane even gave her a little gift.As for Caleb, neither Jane or Zachary cared if he admitted it or not.They thought Whitney had married Caleb for the sake of business.But just now, the two of them were so intimate, unable to part with each other, and even had a visible kiss mark that couldn't be hidden by a turtleneck.Given this relationship, wasn't it reasonable for Caleb to admit that they were his brother-in-law and sister-in-law?However, Caleb didn't really know them well, and they didn't know his personality either. Naturally, he couldn't just say that he recognized them as his in-laws.As for Westley, everyone knew him well.Besides, Westley had married Jane's younger sister, so he should be recognizing them as well."That’s unnecessary, Mr. Hilton," said Zachary. "Jordan is Jane's sister, both of them are from the Jackson family, though they've been separated for years due to some unfortunate circumstanc

"Since Mr. Hilton spoils his wife so much, how about you drink this wine for Whitney instead?"Caleb curved his lips into a smile, picked up his glass, and said, "You’re not going to double the amount if I drink for her, right, Mrs. Smith?"Before Charlotte could speak, Frank intervened.He placed one hand on Charlotte's shoulder, gently swirled his wine glass with the other, his posture relaxed and casual."Since Mr. Hilton is so interested, how can I not satisfy your requests on my turf?"He even brought Zachary into it. "Today is your big day, it's your stage, so set an example by taking the first round."Zachary glanced at him indifferently. He was pretending to be drunk today, but Frank hadn’t gone easy on him.He had originally planned to use water for his drinks, but Frank had switched it back to real alcohol.Now, he was starting trouble again."Oh!" Frank suddenly seemed to remember something. "I forgot, Mr. Collins drank a lot at lunch. I guess the alcohol in his sto

No one had called for dinner yet.She knew that Zachary and Jane were getting married today, so they might be staying in the room for a while.Caleb and Whitney were the ones they thought would be spending time together.So, she first knocked on Charlotte's room.She figured that they wouldn't necessarily want to spend time together right now.But she was wrong.No one answered Charlotte's door.However, Jane sent her a message saying she would get up soon.Then Charlotte also spoke up in their group chat.That was when she came to call Whitney.She guessed that the two should have finished their intimate act by now...Whitney, ignoring the discomfort in her body, used both hands and feet to escape from Caleb's embrace.She first responded to Jordan at the door and then rushed into the bathroom.Caleb came in shortly after.When his bare back pressed against her, Whitney was startled. "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"Caleb held her and chuckled. "Honey, have you eve

Westley patted her on the head. "You're asking me about this because you want to help Mandy, or..."Mandy and Jordan hadn't been in touch much over the past few years, but before university, they had a pretty good relationship.When Mandy ran into trouble and went to the north, Jordan was furious.It took him several days to calm her down.But then, unexpectedly, his relationship with her had also fallen apart.Looking back now, he wondered if it was because Carter always treated him and maintained his health, but in doing so, perhaps he had also pushed the love out of his own life.Jordan shook her head. "I won’t interfere with other people’s relationships. I'm just asking out of curiosity."Westley didn't expect that but still told her about the situation."Caleb did indeed relent. He will give Carter a chance to meet with Mandy. And this was something, Zachary, Frank, and I, were all aware of but haven't spoken about it openly. Zachary is pretending to be drunk."Jordan had

Caleb and Zachary had a drink and then left with Whitney.Carter didn't even have time to drink with Zachary and hurriedly followed them.At that moment, Zachary's and the others were here to watch the show.But they didn't expect, when they turned the corner, to see Caleb pinning Whitney against the wall, kissing her.The man's brows and eyes were full of flirtatious charm, and he blocked Whitney's profile, glancing over.He asked, "What's wrong? Haven't you seen a married couple kiss?"There was no sign of Carter anywhere.They didn't want to interrupt the couple's private moment, so Westley and Frank escorted Zachary to his room, then went back to their own rooms with their wives.Jane pretended to wipe Zachary's face and was about to leave.But Zachary grabbed her and pulled her into the bed."Mr. Collins, you're getting more and more skilled at pretending to be drunk."Zachary opened his eyes and kissed her forehead.His hoarse voice carried a hint of weakness."Honey

Back then, when Rebecca caused such a scene, it was like she was a clown.And they hadn't suspected anything. Nathan and Jane looked very similar, and what Nathan said was very reasonable. The Jackson family had suffered a major blow, so they were certainly more meticulous about such matters.They wouldn't make such mistakes.The room was in an uproar, no one expected the situation to reverse like this.The reporters didn't even eat, quickly grabbing their cameras, sending out messages, and fighting for the headline.Nathan didn't say much more, handing the microphone to the emcee before walking off the stage.The emcee, amid the fading music, announced in a loud voice, "The ceremony is complete—"Petals rained down from above.Zachary lowered his head and kissed Jane, asking her, "Are you satisfied?"Jane glared at him, "Are you trying to get your mom killed from a heart attack for me?""That won't happen," replied Zachary. "I know what I'm doing. After all, she made a mista

But he didn't explain. Instead, he asked, "You're really cold-hearted. Your brother's crying like that, and you can't even manage to squeeze out a tear?"Whitney had always been emotionally detached.She did have some emotions stirring inside, but shedding tears was very difficult for her.She had never cried since she was little.Because crying meant getting punished.But before she could say anything, she heard Caleb whisper something flirtatious into her ear.She could remain emotionless and composed about almost everything.But she simply couldn't resist Caleb's teasing. The private things he said to her, especially in public, always caught her off guard.She cared about her image.Unlike him, a charming young man with plenty of experience in the art of flirting, who could easily say whatever he wanted in any setting.She didn't know how to rebut him and could only remain silent, her gaze fixed on the stage.She was more curious about why Nathan was getting up to speak.

The emcee announced that it was time for the couple to kiss. Jordan quickly went up to prepare the rings, not noticing the change in Westley's expression.She was then busy with handing over the rings.Now her task was complete.Westley took her to the main table and made her drink some water.The dishes began to come out one after another, and everyone started eating.But Rebecca wanted to leave.Frank stopped her. "Nathan hasn't spoken yet. Godmother, if you leave now, it's too early. You've come all the way here, just stay a little longer."Rebecca didn't understand. "What is Nathan going to say?"Frank replied, "You'll find out when you listen in."Rebecca wanted to leave because she didn't want to hear the sweet words that Zachary was going to say to Jane on the stage.Jane hadn't even shed a tear, but Zachary, a grown man, was crying uncontrollably.She couldn't bear to face it.But it was obvious that Frank didn't want her to leave, so she couldn't.The two of them

Jane understood the reasoning, but as a woman, hearing about Mandy's experiences truly made her feel heartbroken.She said with a sigh, "Frank thinks the same way, right?"Charlotte nodded. "Yes, Frank won't completely offend Carter. Who knows if people will remain safe and healthy for the next few decades?"Jane, however, thought of someone. "Tanner.""We don't know much about Tanner, and we're not sure how much she can help. By the way, it was Carter who performed Zachary's mother's surgery."Charlotte pondered for a moment. "Zachary should also follow Frank's lead, stepping down a little. After all, it was the Hilton family who acted, and it has nothing to do with him. You can't blame him for it."Jane, if she hadn't already done her hair, would have scratched her head.Her mind was about to explode."Jane, I think we should just go with the flow. When it comes to feelings, it's hard for outsiders to interfere. Look at me and Westley, even as your own sister, you couldn't ch
