Karsyn scooped a spoonful of dessert, suppressing her surprise. Otherwise, she herself doubted whether she would come up with another excuse and run away again.
She kept reminding herself that sooner or later she would have to face it!
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
"The authority figure wanted to arrange a match between me and his daughter..."
As soon as Franklin finished speaking, the spoon in Karsyn's hand loosened and made a clattering sound as it hit the side of the bowl.
The corners of the mouth wanted to force out a smile, but Karsyn realized it was in vain. With head hanging low, they simply responded with a muffled "Oh."
Her mind was actually blank, and if she wasn't sitting on a chair, she would probably have fallen down.
It came, after all, as it was supposed to...
"Didn't you want to hear what I meant?" Franklin observed Karsyn's every move.
Karsyn suddenly looked up, forcing a smile on her pink lips, "The rul
Karsyn watched as Ernesto took Raiden away, his eye twitched.It really is a case of one thing leading to another.Fortunately, Raiden didn't say anything.She was a faithful person, so why did she act like she was cheating and afraid of being caught?Damn it!"They were?" Franklin asked.Karsyn snapped back to reality, a slight flicker in her lively eyes. "They were Britney's ex-husbands, Manuel, you should know! Weren't you also at the wedding? He was his friend.""That's the man, the one who walked you home?" Franklin's expression remained unchanged. His dark eyes deep."It was him!" Karsyn explained again, "He was the one who drove me home that night because it was too late."I didn't expect that Franklin actually remembered this."Hmm! In the future, have less contact with them, especially that man who escorts you home! He works in the nightlife industry, not trustworthy!" Franklin narrowed his dark eyes, a g
Angeline and Wayne wrapped themselves tightly, wearing all-black woolen coats, scarves around their necks, duckbill caps, sunglasses...Fully armed, without revealing any gaps...Malia almost didn't recognize it.Angeline and Wayne stepped into the private room and then took off their weapons.Angeline had a fair and beautiful face, with starry eyes and delicate eyebrows. Her Bordeaux red hair was curled into glamorous waves, making her the epitome of beauty. She had a curvaceous figure, with a particularly prominent bust. Taking off the sunglasses that covered half of her face, she looked slightly tired, as she had been staying up late frequently with the film crew recently.Wayne was Angeline's agent and became one of the top gold medal agents in the country before the age of thirty. He was known as Wayne, the director of Galaxy Entertainment'sManagement Department and Recording Department. He held a large number of popular artists in the c
"This is something that was unanimously decided by our company's Board of Directors!" Britney emphasized.As she said, regardless of whether Angeline can change in the future, she does not want to continue to collaborate with Angeline. Once an artist has a stain, no matter how small, it will be magnified infinitely by others. As a public figure, Angeline did not consider at all before doing things whether it would have an impact on her endorsements, TV dramas, and so on, which is her fault.Whether she will change in the future and how long it will take for her to change, that is her business and has nothing to do with them.First, she did not want to gamble; second, she indeed had thoughts of changing spokespersons...She just wanted to use this matter as a bridge to terminate the contract.Angeline's endorsement fee is indeed too high. Wayne said that this year's fee would be reduced by one-third, but what about next year and beyond...So,
Sure enough, in the following two days, Angeline's news was leaked by someone.Angeline was a top-tier celebrity, and even though the entertainment industry was constantly changing, she never got brushed aside or replaced by others. The extent of her influence in normal times was exactly the magnitude of the waves she created now.Wayne immediately announced that Angeline would take a break and suspend all ongoing matters. For a celebrity, this was a significant punishment, but it was also the best course of action.I have to say, Wayne's methods were impressive.Meanwhile, when reporters surrounded Wayne and Angeline, they immediately declared that they hoped this incident would not affect any of Angeline's endorsements and acting projects. They specifically pointed out that after Angeline's involvement in this incident, the Hammond Group promptly went to visit her and offer their condolences. In regard to Angeline's voluntary termination of the contract
If Britney didn't say so, you won't have a peaceful sleep tonight.The previous few nights, she was tossed and turned by Manuel like a pancake being flipped.She hasn't had a good night's sleep these past few nights.Manuel smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Tomorrow, I'll see what reasons you have to refuse me!""Does Mr. Castro want to be merciful tonight and let me have a good night's sleep?" Britney smiled slightly.She was not a person without emotions either. She knew Manuel's thoughts very well. She even considered that after marriage, they could not be an innocent couple, let alone now that they were in love, it was also very normal for things to happen between a man and a woman.She could let go of her feelings for Conrad; when it came to her love for Manuel, she loved him openly without any hesitation.Manuel's mouth curled into a wicked smile as he pulled up the blanket, covering both of them completely."Not lettin
All day today, Karsyn was in an extremely excited state, even more excited than getting married herself.The consequence was that Franklin sent her back home, and she tossed and turned in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep. Later, thinking of playing for a while to expend some energy, playing until the energy level became negative, maybe then she could fall asleep.While playing, suddenly I remembered to share my happiness with my best friend and let Britney stop worrying about that matter, so I made a phone call.I didn't expect that he wouldn't answer the phone for half a day. When the phone was busy, Karsyn playfully redialed.As the phone rang incessantly, Karsyn had already imagined countless times in her mind whether the girl had been exhausted by Manuel's antics to the point where she couldn't even pick up the phone.There is no way, who made the current internet and comic books so developed? Premature maturity is also normal.
Raiden ran over excitedly, wanting to find out what was going on.In short, he himself, who saw it with his own eyes, did not believe that it was true.Karsyn saw Raiden's silly expression and had enough. She bypassed him and walked away directly...She had no connection with Ernesto, at most she had a little curiosity about him, plus a sense of astonishment from what she had just witnessed.There were no others, and there could not have been any.Raiden saw Karsyn leave and didn't stop her. Now, the thing he is most concerned about is Ernesto's matter, which he cares about more than his own physical well-being.There was no way, because his body had not made any progress so far. He also couldn't find the person the charlatan had mentioned, and the key point was that he didn't know where to find someone.Well, I might as well temporarily rely on some medication to have a good time, even though it doesn't compare to my previous abiliti
Elena's hand was wrapped around Ernesto's waist, her whole body leaning into his embrace, with her head buried in his strong chest, wearing a face of happiness and sweetness.Karsyn sat in the car, pursed her lips, and watched as the two people there were deeply engrossed in each other.Damn it, could you guys please get intimate somewhere far away? Is that possible?At leastlet her drive the car away and then slowly get intimate!Watching others show affection, she, being someone who has a boyfriend, also feels particularly annoyed, right?If Elena's thoughts were just her own speculation before, then what does it mean now that Ernesto doesn't push her away?Couldn't be clearer, right?"Take me home, or I'll kiss you!" Elena's voice whispered softly in Ernesto's embrace.In the empty surroundings, Ernesto heard everything clearly."Ms. Wilkerson, do you know what I hate the most?" Ernesto's voice was icy, and the
Skyler had fallen asleep, but her mind remained alert. After all, Raiden had left a psychological scar on her today.As soon as Raiden mentioned being hungry, she couldn't help but complain to herself. He hadn't felt hungry earlier, and now, suddenly, he was.But despite the resentment in her heart, she didn’t dare voice it. After all, he was the young master, and she was just a servant..."Should I heat it up for you?" Since this "ancestor" had called for her, it was clear he wouldn’t do it himself. And it was late, so the other family members had likely already gone to sleep.Sure enough, the young master kicked his feet and said, "Should I do it myself?" If he was going to do it himself, why bother calling her? The real reason was that he couldn’t sleep and, seeing her sleep soundly beside him, a psychological urge stirred within him.If he couldn’t sleep, neither should she. It was a kind of unhealthy mentality.He wanted to wake her up
Skyler finally had the chance to observe the entire room. The decor was simple yet refined.A large sky-blue bed, a desk with a desktop LCD computer, and some model decorations—all expensive just at a glance. It matched his unruly personality well. However, it was clear he didn’t come home often; everything here still looked brand new."Where are you sleeping? Why are you asking me?"Since his father let her move in, he must have arranged a place for her."Do you have an extra blanket? I’ll sleep on the floor."The bed was big enough for two people, and she had slept with him before—otherwise, how would she have gotten pregnant? But at this moment, she didn’t dare sleep with him. She hadn’t forgotten the way he had looked downstairs, as if he wanted to devour her alive.She didn’t dare provoke him again, afraid that if she shared a bed with him, she might not even know how she died.She knew t
"Do you think you've found yourself a backer now? Is that why you feel so important?"Raiden’s tone was full of sarcasm.He looked exactly like a little kid afraid of losing his father's love.It’s often said that women mature faster than men, and Skyler was one of those women. She could see exactly what Raiden was upset about, and a smile tugged at her lips."No, Mr.Calderon! My biggest backer is you," Skyler admitted her mistake.Like hell he’d believe that! The innocence she had before was completely gone now.Raiden let out a cold snort and sneered, "Skyler, I didn't expect your appetite to be this big. First, you took my house, and now, in the blink of an eye, you've managed to squeeze a fortune out of my dad. Did your brain suddenly become enlightened? You’re making money at an impressive speed!""Mr.Calderon, I did go back on my word in this matter. I’m sorry! Here’s the key to the house you
Every parent, when talking about their child, always wears the kindest smile. Frankie was no exception. And when he thought about the fact that he would soon become a grandfather, his mood improved even more.Feeling good, he couldn’t help but chat a little more with Skyler.As Frankie flipped through old photos of Raiden’s childhood and talked about his younger days, Skyler truly saw how adorable he had been as a child.Uncle Calderon wasn’t lying—Mr.Calderon had been handsome since he was little.Big eyes, double eyelids, a high nose bridge, rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and fair skin—all combined with that charmingly arrogant expression…Skyler subconsciously placed her hand on her belly, wondering if the baby inside would be just as good-looking. If it were a girl and took after Mr.Calderon, she certainly wouldn’t be unattractive."Master, dinner is ready!" a servant came forward and announced.
"She should take a good look at herself! She doesn't want to marry me?" Raiden shouted.Who did she think she was? And who was he? Since when did a woman have the right to reject him?Since he was old enough to understand things, he had been surrounded by countless women, all vying for his attention. Which woman didn't want to marry him?Raiden sneered internally. This woman was definitely playing hard to get in front of his father, trying to win his favor so that he would pressure him into marrying her.I didn't see this coming.Skyler, so you dare play tricks on me!Skyler shivered slightly under Raiden’s sharp gaze. Was it a crime now to not want to marry him?Frankie stepped forward and kicked his own son. "And you should take a good look at yourself!"That kick wasn’t light. Raiden gasped in pain and quickly pulled his leg back to clutch it.Damn it!He was almost thirty, yet his old man still kicked him with
When Raiden walked in, he actually found that woman in his house!Without a word, he rushed up to her, grabbed her wrist, and started dragging her outside with large strides."Mr.Calderon, what are you doing?" Caught off guard by his strength, Skyler’s wrist throbbed in pain as she frowned and couldn't help but cry out."Don't ask, just come with me!"As soon as Raiden received a call from the person he had arranged to take Skyler to the hospital, he rushed back immediately.He had sent her to get an abortion, and she was already on the operating table—yet somehow, the old trickster in his family had intercepted her! Just thinking about how the plan was almost completed but was suddenly interrupted made him incredibly frustrated.How could he not know what that old fox was scheming?For the past few years, every time he returned home, the old man would pester him about marriage. Eventually, he got so fed up that he outrigh
Frankie was setting up Skyler, but unfortunately, she was too young and inexperienced to realize it. She had never encountered such schemes before, let alone faced an old fox like Frankie.At first, Skyler had no idea who had decided against her abortion. It wasn’t until she had spoken with Frankie for a while that she finally understood—it was the old master himself who wanted to keep his grandchild.She had already promised Raiden that she would terminate the pregnancy, and she had struggled internally for a long time. But in the end, her heart leaned toward keeping the child.“However, I have three conditions.”“Go ahead, go ahead…” Frankie was so delighted that she had agreed that he would have accepted a hundred conditions if necessary.“First, after the child is born, I want to be able to visit them whenever I wish. But you can rest assured—I will only be visiting the child and will have
Raiden’s Father...Hearing Frankie's words, Skyler couldn't help but look up. He wasn’t like what she had imagined. The middle-aged man in front of her was well-maintained, looking energetic and full of vitality. His smile was warm and friendly. There were indeed some resemblances between him and Raiden—he must have been quite a charming man in his younger years.Seeing her subtly relax, Frankie chuckled, “What do you think? Not quite what you imagined, right?”Having her thoughts seen through so easily, Skyler blushed, feeling slightly embarrassed. “It’s a bit different from what I expected,” she admitted.“Sit down and talk. I’m not used to looking up at people while speaking.” Frankie deliberately said this, knowing that otherwise, she wouldn’t sit down.Just as he had anticipated, Skyler realized that standing while talking to someone like this was somewhat impolite. Beside
Skyler looked at the cold, sterile operating table, her steps heavy as she walked over and lay down with the nurse’s help. Staring at her still-flat stomach, she silently whispered to the tiny life inside her, "Baby, I'm sorry."He had been so well-behaved. She had heard that during the first three months of pregnancy, morning sickness was common, sometimes severe enough to make one feel like the world was spinning. Yet, she hadn’t experienced any of that—she felt just like a normal person. She knew her baby must be a very obedient child.Unfortunately, she had no ability to keep him. If she forced his birth, he would only suffer alongside her.So, I’m sorry. It’s because I’m not brave enough…She had never intended to keep this child, but that didn’t mean she had no feelings for him. He was, after all, her own flesh and blood."Miss Oneal, we’re going to administer the anesthesia now. Try to r
