Chapter 10
Last Updated:
2024-11-25 11:15:29The next day, Britney, bored out of her mind, sat on the couch, staring at the LCD television...
The Schwartz family was holding a press conference.
The one who came forward was Alexander Schwartz, the head of the Schwartz family, and the person involved was Conrad. However, most of the answers were given by Alexander.
It was publicly announced that Conrad would marry Stephanie tomorrow, not Britney.
He expressed deep apologies to Britney, explaining how the affection between the two young people had gradually turned into anticipation for Stephanie, the soon-to-be bride, shifting the focus away from any attacks on her.
In the end, he hoped everyone would bless the newlyweds and invited the journalists to the wedding.
Turn off the TV, Britney looked out the window.
She had to admit that the Schwartz family's public relations were impeccable, effortlessly turning the situation to their advantage!
The unique ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly sounded, and Britney saw the familiar words on the screen.
Swiping to answer...
Time stood still for a minute, and just as Britney was about to hang up, a familiar voice came through the phone.
"Britney!"
"What?"
Upon hearing Britney's noticeably distant voice, Conrad felt a vague sense of unease.
“Britney, about that day...”
"Don't worry, if I wanted to make it public, I would have done it already! I'm gonna let it go this time, but I don't want there to be a next time!" Britney considered herself to be no fool, if someone deceived her once, she wouldn't give them a second chance.
"Britney, is it really impossible for us?"
"Conrad, your bride is Stephanie!" Britney hung up the phone without hesitation and prepared to return to her room. However, her phone flashed, indicating a text message!
"Miss you, Britney! - Manuel"
Britney's lips curved into a smile, surprised to find that the seemingly cold-hearted son of the Castro family could speak words of love without any awkwardness.
The fingers swiftly tapped on the screen a few times.
‘I'll be waiting for you!’
The text message was sent, her cheeks turned red, feeling the burning temperature, Britney bit her lip.
Diana saw her daughter's shy appearance and smiled knowingly.
On the other end, Manuel sitting in the car saw the words on the screen, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Orston Hotel!"
Time passed quickly, and the next day, Conrad and Stephanie's wedding took place in a lively manner, under the eager gaze of many.
The wedding was held at the five-star Platinum Hotel in the prime city center. This is Goldmoor's most luxurious hotel, combining entertainment and accommodation. Any upscale wedding, birthday party, or important business banquet is always scheduled at the Platinum Hotel, as it is not only conveniently located but also a symbol of status and position.
On the spacious field, with a white and purple color scheme, it was filled with roses and silk.
As Stephanie's family, Britney's family naturally had to attend.
And as Conrad's former fiancée, Britney had plenty of topics to stir up. With reporters present, they naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. She had once announced their wedding in front of the entire Goldmoor, but before the wedding, the bride suddenly changed. How could the gossip reporters give up on this headline news when the former fiancée could still attend the wedding so calmly?
However, Quinten stood in the front, protecting Britney behind him. He truly lived up to his position as the Chairman of the Hammond Group, as Quinten handled the situation with ease.
On such occasions, it was always a good time for the upper class to "socialize" with each other, and Diana was pulled away by her enthusiastic friends to chat, while Britney surveyed the entire wedding venue.
Thinking back, Conrad said that he wanted to arrange the wedding by himself and give her a surprise on the wedding day. However, he didn't expect that today's surprise was prepared for someone else.
How ironic!
Britney averted her gaze, but unexpectedly caught sight of the harmonious scene between Stephanie and Conrad's families. At that moment, Conrad also noticed her and looked in her direction. Avoiding his gaze, she met Stephanie's resentful eyes. However, a cold smirk appeared in Britney's beautiful eyes.
Seeing Britney's carefully dressed appearance today, Stephanie was seething with anger.
She couldn’t believe that Britney had the audacity to attend her wedding with Conrad, and that she had dressed so beautifully. She thought their affair would crush her, but unexpectedly...
Glancing at Conrad beside her, she saw that his gaze was indeed following Britney, and his hands involuntarily clenched. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a camera lens pointing towards her, so she quickly turned and smiled, saying to Conrad beside her, "Honey, my legs are starting to feel a bit sore..."
Britney turned around and saw the familiar figure.
The Melton family were nobles of Goldmoor, so it was only natural for them to attend the wedding.
“That old man drives like a snail, it’s driving me crazy!”
Karsyn straightened her rosy dress. Watching Karsyn's frantic demeanor, Britney couldn't help but laugh. Only Karsyn would openly call her own father "old man".
Karsyn's round black eyes scanned the surroundings, unable to hold back the curse: "Back when you were with Conrad, I warned you to be careful of that angelic bitch, she gets all coquettish whenever she sees Conrad. It's fucking shameless!"
"Shh!" Britney made a hushing gesture. The attendees at today's wedding were either wealthy or influential, and if someone heard them, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.
Karsyn pouted unwillingly.
"My beautiful girl, I wonder what good deeds you did in your past life to have such a beautiful face! And you have a natural grace. You look good in anything, much more beautiful than that white lotus flower today! Let Conrad regret it!" Karsyn took Britney's hand and examined it carefully.
Britney was seen cleverly avoiding the white color scheme, wearing a sky-blue dress with a matching cardigan on top. Her wavy hair cascaded naturally down her back, and her light makeup made her look charming and attractive.
The dressing, although simple, exuded an elegant temperament.
"Why didn't I see that person?" Karsyn looked around, and of course Britney knew that Karsyn was referring to Manuel.
"He went to the training area! He may come back in a few days!"
Britney felt a warm feeling rise in her heart as she thought about the words Manuel had said to her before he left.
Britney took Karsyn's hand and found a quiet place to sit down.
“What?! He just left my gorgeous girl behind?” As she complained, Karsyn’s gaze wandered through the crowd.
Noticing Karsyn’s searching eyes, Britney said, “He’s over there!” pointing to another direction

When Karsyn saw the long-awaited figure, her heart seemed to beat faster than a few beats.Britney had long been accustomed to seeing Karsyn in this way."Oh my god, Karsyn, you are a Melton! You don't need to be so desperate, do you?"Britney didn't know what to say about Karsyn's love life anymore."My dear Britney, will you accompany me?"Being shaken by Karsyn's hand, Britney could only sigh as she watched her anxious expression and the confident man standing out from the crowd."I knew my babe wouldn't abandon me!"Karsyn walked into the crowd, holding Britney's hand.Karsyn's crush happened to be the eldest son of the Schwartz family, Franklin Schwartz. Who knows if it was fate that led them both to fall in love with the sons of the Schwartz family. However, in the past, she and Conrad were deeply in love. As for Franklin, Karsyn's love for him was unrequited, and the whole town of Goldmoor knew about it. She liked him so much that even outsiders couldn't believe it. Karsyn onc

"Stephanie, don't assume that everyone is as lowly as you!"“Look who’s talking, as if you and your mother were so ‘noble’,” Stephanie shot back as she finished applying her lipstick, glancing over at Britney. “Don’t forget, your mom is just a third-rate actress! If this were ancient times, she would only be a concubine, never a legitimate wife!”"Snap!"Britney raised her hand and slapped Stephanie straight across the face, who hadn't reacted in time. Immediately, five finger marks appeared on Stephanie's freshly made-up face.Seeing that handprint, Britney felt extremely delighted! Influenced by her parents, she always had a humble attitude towards Stephanie. She never expected to feel so comfortable in this moment. It's just that her own strength is still not strong enough."Stephanie, it's fine if you hate me! Because I also happen to hate you! This slap is to teach you to respect the elderly and love the young! My mom is not someone you can insult!" Britney bent down again and pl

With a sobbing tone in her voice, tears welled up in her almond-shaped eyes as she gazed at the slender figure. The next second, glistening tears streamed down her delicate little face.Franklin, with his back to Karsyn, stopped in his tracks but didn’t turn around. “From now on, it’s better that we don’t see each other.”The voice was as merciless as ice and snow, causing Karsyn to choke and sob uncontrollably.If there were a drug that could help her forget this unwanted love, Karsyn thought she would drink it without hesitation! Loving him had become exhausting… a love without an end in sight… But unfortunately, there was none! And she stubbornly clung to her feelings…Just out of the toilet, Britney intended to find Karsyn, but her stomach started to ache, and she just wanted to find a place to sit down. It was the first day of her period, and she had the problem of menstrual cramps. After this day, she would be fine as if nothing had happened.She wondered if she could make it u

"I had something to do, so I won't disturb you anymore!"A cold and low voice, hiding a hint of chill, directly refused without giving the other party any face.The next second, Britney felt an unusual temperature in her cold palms. Before Britney could react, her body had already followed that tall and sturdy figure, being led away by Manuel.Standing on the lush green lawn, Manuel faced Britney and held her hand."Why are your hands so cold?" Manuel's icy eyes flickered with concern."Every winter is like this, but it gets better in spring." Britney has gotten used to it, and she has actually seen many doctors and taken many supplements, but it was all in vain.Standing under the grand courtyard, being looked at like this by Manuel, Britney blushed.Holding Britney's fair hand, Manuel earnestly gazed at her rosy face. "In every future winter, you will have me! Being with me, you don't have to care about others' opinions."In an instant, the overwhelming feeling of satisfaction fille

The wedding came to a complete end.The departing guests, still lingering with the memory of the extravagant wedding just now, couldn't help but continue their discussions, with some gossiping specifically about Britney.Britney and Karsyn didn't want to listen to gossip as they walked out of the Platinum Hotel.As Britney stepped out of the hotel door, pink and yellow rose petals filled the air, falling slowly from the sky like snowflakes. Instantly, a refreshing floral scent filled the air.Britney looked a bit stunned...She stretched out her hand, took a piece of delicate and dripping flower petal, and laid it quietly in her palm...While everyone was surprised and discussing, two drones appeared in the sky, trailing two red banners."Britney""I love you."At this moment, an elegant and tall figure emerged from behind a nearby marble pillar and walked straight towards Britney.With a large bouquet of roses in hand, he knelt down on one knee, his voice deep and filled with tendern

Although she was already past the age for falling in love, Britney still couldn't exclude these feelings.Britney was taken to a super-sized pink hot air balloon and, with the help of the staff, she and Manuel boarded the balloon and slowly ascended into the sky.Looking at every blade of grass and every object on the ground, slowly shrinking, everything seemed to disappear except for them.Facing Manuel alone, Britney felt a sudden panic and a hint of shyness in her heart."Because time was tight, so many things were arranged by them. But they were all my ideas... Is it a bit childish?" Manuel's usually cold face showed a rare hint of nervousness.Actually, these should have happened twenty years ago. Unfortunately... it was twenty years too late.Britney's exquisite features brought a slight smile to her face. It was unexpected to see that Manuel, who had previously left a cold and distant impression on people, had such a side."I have never been in a relationship before, but I will

Quinten's words made Britney furrow her brows and stop the action of picking up the food."Manuel used to be such an outstanding person at Goldmoor. Although I didn't have much interaction with him, just a few encounters made me realize that he was not ordinary! I even thought he would take over the Castro family business in the future, but I didn't expect him to suddenly go to the training area!"Quinten seemed lost in memories, his face becoming slightly solemn, as he spoke in a deliberate manner."Dad, do you mean to say that his going to the training area wasn't so simple?" Britney knew very little about these matters, after all, in the past, her eyes were only on Conrad.Quinten nodded.“Dad, if Manuel really is that exceptional and becomes the son-in-law of the Hammond family, we won’t be at a loss!” Britney picked up a piece of crispy duck and handed it to her father. “If you really have concerns, you can help me assess the situation when both families meet the day after tomorr

Such a straightforward and bold confession...Britney's heart stirred a ripple.Suddenly, her phone rang.Britney picked up the phone,“Britney, you’ve hit the jackpot, haven’t you? I thought a man like Manuel wouldn’t understand anything about romance, but it turns out he’s not at all hesitant in pursuing women!”The corners of her mouth slightly curved upwards, Britney smiled lightly and said, "I didn't expect it either.""What a domineering CEO! I envy you so much!" Karsyn's eyes were filled with hearts. "Where are you? Do you want to come out for a shopping trip?"“I’m on my way to work at the Hammond Group.”"Do you have to be so boring? The Miss of the Hammond family, still has to go to work?”Seeing the familiar grand buildings outside the car window, Britney said, "Karsyn, I got to go ! Just come pick me up after work."By the time Karsyn finished speaking, the vehicle had already stopped at the door.Before getting off the car, Britney said to Bryant, "You don't have to wait

The sky was gradually getting dark...Karsyn received a call from Andreas, but it was not his own voice.Albert, who was Andreas' childhood friend, was Albert Fitzpatrick.The voice on the phone was very noisy, and Karsyn couldn't hear very clearly. However, she understood roughly that she was asked to hurry to Seventh Club because Andreas had an argument with someone.That person was none other than Geovanni from last night!"Franklin, I'm really sorry. I'm going to stand you up today!" Hanging up the phone, Karsyn stepped on the gas pedal and accelerated the car to 150 miles per hour."Do you want me to accompany you?" It was evident that Karsyn was anxious."No need! It's nothing, I'll just take you back to the apartment," Karsyn forced a smile to reassure Franklin. She had noticed earlier that Franklin seemed a bit tired, and although she didn't understand the details of his work, she didn't want him to be distracted or burdened b

This piece of music, she and her mother played together for no less than twenty times in the past. This time, they were able to find the feeling so smoothly, thanks to Gregory's patient guidance on stage just now.For some reason, whenever she played with Gregory, she could always find the same feeling she had when she played with her mother, it was almost identical.When Gregory first saw Britney's appearance, he was also slightly surprised. However, when they played together, that feeling was too familiar!For over twenty years, the feeling that had been missing all this time has reappeared!The two of them finished their duet and thanked the audience below the stage.The female host walked over and said, "Wow, really! I was completely stunned when I heard it just now. It was not a duet between two people at all, but a solo performance by one person!"An opening remark resonated with everyone."Ms. Hammond, I would like to interview

There was one week left until the scheduled wedding date.Tonight was the first solo piano concert, "One Life, One Love," held by Gregory Preston, Britney's favorite pianist.Gregory was a Goldmoor native who started playing the piano at the age of four. At the age of twenty-one, he went abroad to perform and achieved great success, eventually settling down overseas. This was his first visit back to his homeland after twenty-five years, and he chose to hold his first solo concert in his hometown. Gregory seemed destined for the piano, as it sang poetically with its unique sound in his fingertips. His playing always had a romantic quality, distinct and charming.Britney was no longer surprised that Manuel knew everything about himself.Ford drove into the parking lot, while Manuel held Britney's hand and headed towards the music hall.As it was the first show in the country, it is said that there were also some original songs created by Gregory, whi

Today, Geovanni did not come to the company and did not ask for leave from the company.And Malia told her that on that day, as soon as she and Hugh left, Geovanni claimed to have something to do and didn't go to the dinner. They should have left the company one after the other.Originally, Malia didn't pay much attention to it. However, after two consecutive incidents, the team leader asked her to pay attention to the morning news, which made Malia think that this matter might be related to Geovanni, so she reported it to him.Britney had just come down from the Board of Directors and let Hugh into the office, instructing Malia to brew two cups of coffee.Britney sat on a leather office chair, while Hugh sat across from her."Hugh, put aside what you have on your hands for now.""Did you want me to investigate this matter?"Hugh and I were truly on the same wavelength when it came to work, we could basically think as one."Yes

She should have realized the reaction of Uncle's family earlier, but she didn't expect Maxwell to actually threaten her father."Dad, I'm sorry!"If Uncle's family targeted her, she could handle it on her own or ignore it. It seems that this time, the Maxwell family wants to take advantage of this opportunity to force her father to step down.Quinten lovingly patted Britney's head and said, "Britney, you did the right thing! If Geovanni continues to be spoiled like this, he will surely be ruined!""Yeah! Big brother and the others were completely unaware of Geovanni's problem and were still protecting him," Diana said."But, big brother said so, what should we do next?""Mom, it's okay. You don't need to worry," Britney reassured."Diana, you go to sleep first," Quinten pulled Diana's clothes closer, considerately escorting her to the bedroom door and comforting her with a few words.Seeing Diana return to the room, Quinten fin

Manuel didn't eat much, but Britney did. Manuel kept serving her food, and unknowingly she ended up eating more.After dinner, Karsyn quickly disappeared with Andreas.Manuel gave a perfect score to the actions of these two siblings. Britney ate a bit too much and suggested that they take a walk together.The two of them, like an ordinary couple, walked hand in hand and took a stroll in the nearby park. There were elderly people exercising in the park, and when they saw the two of them, they chuckled and smiled at them.Britney still couldn't figure out why Manuel kissed her in front of their grandparents. Britney lightly tapped him, but it was misunderstood as playful banter between the couple, and they laughed even harder at them."These two make such a perfect couple!"When leaving, these words entered the ears. However, the uncommunicative Manuel, instead, turned around and said thank you.After a while, the two of them returned t

If marrying her was more based on the memories from childhood and my hidden feelings for her all along.So now, he had gained a deeper understanding of her.And, it seemed that he had discovered a secret, possibly a secret that she herself was unaware of.This made him very happy, sweeping away the gloom he had just experienced.Geovanni's face turned pale as Manuel released his grip. "Ouch," he exclaimed, using his other hand to cradle the one that had been squeezed. He took two steps back. That hand was practically immobile; even the slightest movement caused excruciating pain.Under the myriad of lights and shadows, Manuel, a mature man with a deadly charm, inserted his slender hand into his pocket.Actually, Manuel didn't use much force, otherwise Geovanni's hand would have been injured long ago."You guys accompany him to the hospital and take a look." Britney looked at Geovanni's swollen wrist, which had been pinched, and said t

Geovanni was called out by his friend to have a hot pot and, by the way, to discuss his interest in working for the Hammond Group. Being persuaded by his friend, he ended up having a few drinks."Isn't that Andreas?" Geovanni immediately recognized Andreas, who was sitting there fishing for meat.People always have a tendency to compare themselves when they are together. Geovanni and Andreas are the same age. They attended the same school, in the same grade, and even the same class since childhood. They are both heirs to wealthy families, known as the Hammond family and the Melton family, respectively. It is inevitable that they will be compared by others in the future.The Hammond Group was Goldmoor's leading conglomerate, and Geovanni had a sense of superiority, naturally unwilling to be surpassed by others.In his eyes, Andreas was just a wild and unruly little brat."It's really Andreas!" said Korbin Fuentes. Andreas also recognized him, as the

The three of them were together, as if they had returned to their past lives.Time has passed, it has been almost half a year since Andreas last came home."Andreas, what is the schedule like in your training area?" Britney, sitting in the passenger seat, remembered the last time she called Manuel and realized she didn't even know his basic routine.Before, I had the idea of asking Bryant, but that guy is just like a block of wood. Besides driving, when it comes to anything about their training area, he doesn't say a word.Always makes people feel mysterious.Andreas squeezed forward from the back seat and said, "I heard that my future brother-in-law is also from the training area.""Yes, you're quite proud! Recently, during this period of time, Britney is the headline figure of Goldmoor. She's showered with love by your future brother-in-law.""How come I smell something sour..." Andreas laughed, revealing a row of small white teeth,
