"Pact?"
Christopher stared carefully at Christian's thumb. He hesitated for a moment before slowly extending his own thumb.
As soon as Christopher's thumb was extended, Christian imprinted her own thumb on it.
"Alright, the ceremony is complete. We are allies now," Christian said excitedly.
Christopher paused, his face expressionless, but he secretly wrapped the thumb that had touched Christian's in his palm.
Suddenly, Christian remembered something and added, "Oh, by the way, we can't let our sister know about our alliance for now. She is a faithful supporter of mommy. If she finds out, it's as good as mommy finding out!"
"Sister?" Christopher raised his head, a hint of curiosity flashing across his cool little face.
Christian realized he had forgotten to introduce Eleanor.
Christian led Christopher i
Christian quietly pushed open the door of the Carter family's mansion. He hadn't stepped into the living room yet when a pair of silver high heels blocked his path. Christian raised his little face and saw the ‘female scammer’ he had met at the hotel standing in front of him. His lively eyes flickered, but the scammer spoke first. "Christopher, you ran away again, didn't you? So this is your real reason for asking me to return to the old mansion. If it weren't for you, my three months' allowance would have been deducted. I'll fight you if it's because of you." Bianca was furious. She had rushed back from the bar. Fortunately, she was clever enough to have Aunt Leah keep an eye on this brat in advance. Christian's dark grape-like eyes turned as he speculated on Bianca's identity. Wasn't the scammer at the hotel trying to kidn
At nine o'clock in the morning, Alessia arrived at the entrance of the welfare institute. For events like this, attended by celebrities and various business elites, getting inside was not an easy task. Fortunately, after receiving the email, Alessia had contacted the vice president of the welfare institute and initiated a discussion about donations. The person who came to pick her up was a staff member from the welfare institute. "Miss La Rosa, thank you for your donation. The event starts at 11 o'clock. Would you like to take a look at the children's dormitories and dining halls?" With no activity yet from Z's side, it was better to familiarize herself with the environment than to passively wait. Alessia nodded and handed the prepared donation box to the staff member. The staff member, who had been informed last minute abou
It was already eleven o'clock, but Z still hadn't sent any emails. Alessia decided to go to the event venue to take a look. Z was crafty; maybe he was already at the welfare institute, hiding somewhere. Perhaps by going to the event venue, she could discover some clues about him. Anyway, as long as she kept a low profile and didn't approach Dominic, there shouldn't be any problems. When Alessia arrived at the event venue, most of the seats were already occupied, but she didn't see Dominic anywhere. Comparing the seat card, she found her seat in the middle of the third row, quite eye-catching. She looked around. Apart from her seat, there were only a few rows ahead still empty. After weighing her options, she decided to sit down. As soon as Alessia sat down, she heard people behind her discussing. "Who
After the female host finished speaking, she and the male host stepped aside, and two workers in white suits pushed a mannequin covered in white cloth onto the stage. The white cloth was pulled away, revealing a mannequin dressed in a black gown. The gown was simple in design but unique, with countless black feathers wrapping around the bodice and cascading down, with a crystal pendant hanging from the end, forming a Y shape. Overall, it looked like a proud black swan. "This is the work of Designer Al, the first gown she designed after establishing her studio." "I heard that the royal family of Country M bought it at a high price, but Al was unwilling to sell." There were also many wealthy ladies and socialites present, and as soon as the gown appeared, someone shouted out its name. Alessia pursed her lips. This gown was som
The female host, as usual, began with some customary words before glancing at the cue card in her hand. However, when she saw the name of the performer, she paused momentarily. But she quickly dismissed any doubts, knowing that the performance list had been thoroughly checked and printed out. So, she proceeded to announce according to the script. "We are all brave children, even if we walk alone in the darkness, we never give up. Now, please give a round of applause for Miss Alessia La Rosa, as she brings us the song 'Dark Walker.'" As the host finished her words, another beam of white spotlight shone down. Dominic, who had been expressionless throughout the event, had his pupils constrict as he heard the name announced by the female host. He suddenly turned his head. He saw the white spotlight shining on the third row, where Chiara La Rosa had been seated just moments
"This won't work!" Alessia refused; she still needed to stay here to find her son. She knew Dominic was domineering, but she hadn't expected him to be this domineering. It seemed the conversation couldn't continue like this. Alessia straightened her body, ignoring Dominic's restraint, and pushed his hand away. Dominic's gaze turned cold, and he grabbed Alessia's wrist in return. Unexpectedly, Alessia was just playing a distraction. A cunning gleam flashed in her eyes as she swiftly kneed him, aiming for his most vulnerable spot. Dominic was about to be injured, but at a critical moment, a coldness flickered in his eyes. He suddenly sidestepped and grabbed Alessia's knee that was causing trouble. With her knee grabbed, Alessia could only use her strength to push upward. However, her move was still evaded by Dominic. Both side
Dominic walked ahead, taking big strides. Bianca could only follow at a distance. The two of them left the building where the archive room was located, crossed a small path, and arrived at the main road. Suddenly, Dominic turned around. Bianca also stopped in her tracks. "Where's Christopher?" Dominic's eyes were sharp as an eagle's. Bianca was taken aback, only then did she remember her nephew, whom she had forgotten again. The big boss was obviously in a bad mood, she was dancing on the edge of a knife. Panicking, Bianca quickly took out her phone and called Christopher, luckily this time Christopher answered the call quickly. Bianca breathed a sigh of relief, listening to her nephew's cool voice coming through the phone. "At the entrance of the orphanage
The man in front of her wore a blue duckbill cap and a black mask covering his face, revealing only a pair of eyes. As soon as the man dragged her behind the big tree, he sneakily looked around, as if afraid of being discovered. Alessia remained composed, observing the man in front of her. She had planned to leave the event venue and figure out how to shake off Dominic before finding Dylan Frost. But unexpectedly, before she could even find him, he showed up. At this moment, it seemed that Dylan had finally finished observing the situation. After he let out a long sigh, he removed the mask from his face and spoke with lingering fear. "Sis, how did you provoke Dominic? He has arranged people at both the main gate and the back gate, waiting for you to fall into his trap. Luckily, I found you beforehand." Alessia wasn't surpris
