Bianca was so close to storming off to confront Christopher in her high heels, but she was stopped by Jessie.
"Having two models is enough, if he doesn't want to, then let it be," Jessie said calmly.
"It's not about whether it's enough or not, it's that brat being too much," Bianca huffed.
"These years, haven't you been through this before?" Jessie hit Bianca's sore spot.
Bianca's expression stiffened, and she made a gesture of slitting her throat with her hand.
Seeing Bianca deflate, Jessie's slight annoyance from being falsely accused earlier disappeared without a trace.
Because these children didn't just bully her alone.
The three children had completely different personalities, were smart and cute, and looked good too. Her cousin really knew how to raise them.
...
In the corn
Jessie shook her head helplessly. "Auntie, it's not that I don't want to help you, but Al specifically said that she doesn't want to be disturbed before the show starts. If you want to meet Al, you can come over on the day of the big show." Talented people always have some quirks in life, and Ava thought about it and didn't force it anymore. She agreed, "Okay, then I'll wait until the day of the big show." "Thank you for understanding, Auntie," Jessie said. She suddenly thought that if her aunt knew that the famous Al was actually the daughter she treated indifferently, what kind of expression would she have? However, this was also a chance she was giving her aunt. Let her aunt see clearly in advance that her cousin wasn't what they thought she was—a useless divorced woman from the countryside with two children. By dispelling any thoughts of using her cousin, she could repair the relationship between mother and dau
Dominic looked down at her from above, and in his pitch-black eyes were evident—disgust toward her. Dominic was very resistant to her. She even had the illusion that he would come down and drive her away in the next moment. Dominic had always disliked her. She knew that. But since moving back to Forest Hill and after the three little troublemakers caused chaos from time to time, at least on the surface, Dominic seemed to be able to treat her with equanimity. His sudden change in attitude was probably due to Riley mentioning Grandfather, and he redirected his anger towards her! Alessia's eyes flickered as she quickly analyzed the reason for Dominic's change in attitude. She even remembered what Bianca had mentioned a few days ago—that there was a rift between Dominic and their grandmother. Perhaps the reason why Dominic couldn't accept her and disl
The backstage was crowded and noisy. Although Ava didn't hear what Jessie and the others were saying, she noticed the lollipops that Christian and Eleanor had given out. Ava kept a straight face, but inside, she felt humiliated. Giving out only two lollipops as a gift seemed too childish. After her initial anger subsided, she realized something. Alessia came here to let the two kids act as junior models. Perhaps this was the kids' first time experiencing such a big event, and Jessie knew how to manage it, using the junior models to gain favor. But what if the kids didn't have any experience with runway shows and ended up ruining the entire show? Despite having a thousand grievances in her heart, Ava, being seasoned, didn't show the slightest hint of it. She looked at Alessia with a kind smile. "Sia, you're here. I actually w
Christopher's tone was somewhat spoiled, "Auntie, we're here to support Aunt Jessie. There's no need to argue with unrelated people." Unrelated people! What a clever adjective to use. Bianca immediately stopped arguing. Well, her brother had no interest in Sisca. What was she fighting for! Moreover, today's show was important to Jessie. She couldn't ruin it. Bianca's face immediately brightened. Sisca's face, on the other hand, turned ugly. The onlookers' gazes became subtle. When Young Master Carter called Sisca an unrelated person, it proved that Sisca was not his birth mother. With Bianca teaming up with Young Master Carter to confront Sisca, and Dominic not saying a word, it was evident that Sisca wasn't that important to him. Perhaps the lying scandal
"Lily, are you trying to give everyone a treat, or are you trying to benefit yourself? Is my show not exciting enough to keep people alert?" Jessie pretended to be displeased, bantering with the host. "Haha, it seems that my little idea can't escape your sharp eyes. The show is indeed exciting, but I want to see something even more exciting," the host replied, turning to the audience to stir up the atmosphere. "Isn't that right, everyone?" There wasn't much response from the audience because Ava had said that the mysterious guest was just a gimmick, so people weren't interested in any surprises midway through the event. Although the atmosphere wasn't lifted, the event still had to continue. Jessie generously said, "Okay, since everyone else wants a surprise, I must arrange it." The host continued, "So, Miss Jessie, what exactly is our surprise?" J
"What do you mean by that?" Immediately, supporters of Al also came out to retort. One fan said, "It means exactly what it says. Al has never shown her face in public before. This woman who popped out of nowhere, who knows if she's the real Al or a fake one." "Just now, we also heard what Miss Ava said. Who knows if it's Jessie who's afraid of the mystery guest being exposed and offending someone, so she deliberately brought out a fake Al to shut everyone up. Anyway, Al has always been indifferent to fame and fortune. Even if Al knows she's being impersonated, she probably wouldn't bother!" Once this fan spoke, the supporters of Al fell silent instantly because what she said did make some sense. Moreover, just before Al came on stage, Ava seemed to have made a gesture of obstruction. For a moment, these supporters couldn't make up their minds. On
Christopher felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and said, "Even if you glare at me, Dad, I'll still tell my sister." Regardless, he decided to go all out to get his dad to interact with Mommy! Dominic thought of his daughter's big watery eyes and gritted his teeth. This brat seemed to be really itching for trouble. Indeed, daughters were better. Daughters were Daddy's little cotton jackets. Dominic took a deep breath and raised his hand amid Bianca's shocked gaze. Hearing the conversation, Sisca's eyeballs were about to fall out. At the same time, she had another question in her mind: who was the sister Christopher mentioned? Sisca didn't know at this moment that her question wouldn't remain unanswered for long; someone would soon provide an answer. On stage, Jessie looked at the many raised hands b
A snow-white suit adorned with silver sequins, resembling snowflakes falling in winter. Several elegant and flowing belts around the waist, neatly cut. This outfit was neither overly intricate nor dull; everything was just right, perfectly complementing Dylan's facial features and body proportions. At this moment, almost everyone held their breath, their gazes fixed on Dylan's every step on the runway. Dylan walked back and forth on the runway twice, finally settling beside Alessia. At this moment, thunderous applause erupted, with everyone deeply impressed by Alessia's design talent. In just twenty short minutes, she completed the ‘winter’ theme, a task that seemed almost impossible, and she did it exceptionally well. Even Ava, who always maintained a critical attitude, couldn't find any faults to nitpick at this moment. Sh
When Alessia heard Victor's words, she became a little anxious.She didn't want to see either Enzo or Dominic get hurt.Alessia left the room, and Victor wiped his mouth, proudly sighing. "Raising such an outstanding granddaughter is troublesome, always attracting trouble."When Alessia arrived at the mountaintop, she saw two equally damaged sports cars parked to the side.The two owners of the cars were hanging on the slope, climbing up while fighting and pulling each other back."What are you doing?" she called out to the two men risking their lives in this senseless fight."Sia.""Sia."Both of them, upon seeing Alessia, reached out their hands, hoping she would help them.Alessia thought for a moment and then extended both hands to pull them up."You two, use some strength and climb up first."Both men were dissatisfied with Alessia's decision to help them both simultaneously.Just moments before, they had been fighting each other fiercely. Now, they exchanged a glance and formed a
Listening to Victor's complaints, Alessia unscrewed the bottle and smelled the liquid inside.She noticed that when she took the bottle, Enzo's gaze fell on her, looking particularly nervous.She looked at him.Enzo stared into her eyes, urging, "Sia, after drinking it, you'll regain your memory."Alessia had an intuition that Enzo wasn't lying. She looked back at Victor.The old naughty boy had already sat down on the sofa, leisurely crossing his legs, not even giving her a glance.With her strong clinical experience in medicine, Alessia knew that the liquid was not poisonous.Lost memories were lost, but when it came to Elle's prenatal toxicity, no matter what reaction she would have after drinking it, she had to give it a try.Alessia closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and drank the entire bottle of liquid.
At this moment, the captain of the security team handed him a phone."Mr. Carter, take a look at this phone. Our team found it at the gate of the community during the morning patrol. It's turned off, and we can't find any information on it!"Dominic took it and almost recognized it at a glance. It was Alessia's phone.Alessia's phone was left at the gate of the community, but there was no information about Alessia in the surveillance.This proves that Alessia must have had an accident, and it was premeditated.Less than 24 hours since her disappearance, with only one phone, it couldn't prove that Alessia was really in trouble, so he couldn't call the police yet. Dominic could only arrange for the Carter family's forces to search for Alessia on a large scale.At this time, there was no need to be polite to Gordon.He also called Gordon.
Bar.Alessia drank half a cup of wine in one gulp. When she wanted to continue drinking, her glass was snatched away.Half-supporting her chin, Alessia looked at Dominic with drunken eyes."Give me back my wine. I'm happy, and I still want to drink. Dominic, be happy for me too. I not only have a dad now but also a mom."Dominic looked at Alessia, who pretended to be happy despite feeling sad inside, with a heart full of tenderness.He picked up her glass and drank the remaining half in one gulp.Turning back, his gaze was focused and gentle."Sia, of course, I'm happy for you. Actually, you can't blame Uncle Laroux for this. If I were him, I wouldn't have any favorable feelings towards any child other than the one I had with you. Of course, I would never let myself reach the level Uncle Laroux has.""Really?" Alessia
With an anxious heart, he rushed back to the hospital. When he reached the door of the operating room, he saw Dominic, Christian, Eleanor, and Christopher standing outside.Why was Dominic's family here?Gordon was stunned. At this moment, the hospital director personally handed him the consent form for the surgery."Mr. Laroux, Dr. Athena has agreed to perform the surgery on Mrs. Laroux herself. She contacted me the morning before yesterday, and I have already conducted all the necessary pre-operative examinations on Mrs. Laroux. There is no problem with Mrs. Laroux's physical condition for the surgery. You just need to sign."Alessia had already agreed.What was going on during these past few days when she chased Alessia every day for Evelyn's surgery?Was she just teasing him?Was she treating him like a fool?Gord
"Of course not." Gordon answered without hesitation, "If it were me and Evelyn's daughter, she would be the kindest child in the world."Unexpectedly, Gordon was so hypocritical.Alessia felt a bit complicated when she suddenly had that thought. She didn't know whether she should be moved or continue to hate."You can go back now, I don't need anything," Alessia said."How could you not want anything?" Gordon didn't believe it. "I told you, I'm asking for your help. You can make requests. You must have met Ava, right? If it's because of what Ava said, I can tell you now that I agree to marry her."Gordon clearly loved Evelyn so much, yet he agreed to marry Ava?Alessia looked at Gordon with a gaze like he was insane, and seeing Gordon's seriousness and pain, it didn't seem like he was pretending.She suddenly understood that when love went deep, it was
"Nonsense, I'm not doing this for Evelyn," Harrison retorted.True, driven by self-interest, he wanted to make a comeback with the help of the Laroux family. But deep down, he also resented the Laroux family, especially Alessia.So, watching the Laroux family suffer, he had no reason to help them. At most, he wouldn't kick them while they were down, just to ensure the fire didn't spread back to him."Not doing it is enough. Brother, forget about this matter. I won't ask for your help anymore. Whether I'm good or bad has nothing to do with you. Just don't send me to the hospital," Ava sighed in relief, revealing her soft side again, her emotions fluctuating.Saying she wasn't sick, some people found it hard to believe."No way," Harrison refused adamantly. "You must go to the hospital."If Ava ran wild outside for a day, she would become the fire that would in
It was the first time Harrison had ever lost his temper with her, and Ava was momentarily stunned, rendered speechless by the sudden attack.She did indeed want to coax some truth out of Harrison regarding what had happened to Alessia during the days she was detained. But Ava had long forgotten what shame was, and after a few seconds of silence, she began to cry in grievance."Brother, how can you resent me like this? I wanted to marry Gordon to help our family, what happened to Nolan was an accident, and what almost happened to Jessie was also an accident. I didn't want any of this."Seeing the tears on Ava's face, Harrison's anger subsided slightly, replaced by the familiar pain when facing Ava.Taking advantage of the moment, Ava continued, knowing that if she didn't tell some truth now, Harrison would never trust her again. So with a teary voice, she continued, "I'm not lying this time. Believe m
On the other side,It was already nine o'clock, there were no stars in the sky nor was it raining.Outside the police station, Gordon looked inside, waiting.About ten minutes passed, and Ava, still wearing the clothes she had worn in the hospital a few days ago, walked out from somewhere.The two of them exchanged a silent glance.Ava stopped and looked at Gordon for several seconds before sneering and walking up to him. "Gordon, you hated me so much, why did you bail me out?"Gordon's face darkened, “Ava, I hate you. You pushed things too far, and no one else is to blame. Look at what you've done to the Ramirez family.”“It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, how could my daughter have died? If it weren't for revenge against you, the Ramirez family wouldn't have come to this."At this point, Ava lost contro
