Karsyn's voice lingered in the air above the villa for a long time.
The servants below all smiled.
As long as Miss was at home, it would never be lonely. Now that Mr. had also returned, it became even livelier.
Karsyn stomped her feet and returned to the room.
Dressing up, picking out clothes...
Having done this series of things, it had already taken more than an hour. Karsyn stood in front of the mirror, looking at her beautiful self.
I can still shine brightly even without walking with that extraordinary woman, Britney.
Just looking at the empty space around her neck, she walked towards her jewelry box but couldn't find her most cherished necklace.
Her jewelry collection filled up a big box, but she only wore a few pieces most of the time.
Versatile and timeless, it is also beautiful.
Because it was a limited edition, both she and Britney were interested in it. They each specially ordered a necklace, which was a
In the elevator, such a confined space.At that time, there were Franklin and Karsyn, the two individuals, who were neither too close nor too far from each other.Franklin's words made Karsyn's heart stop beating instantly.Breathing difficulties looked at Franklin...No matter how much she thought about it, she never expected that Miranda would be so proactive."What do you mean?" Karsyn struggled to speak."Can't you guess?"She lifted her gaze and stared at him.She dared not speculate as long as she did not get an answer from Franklin.She didn't know why, but whenever she was in front of Franklin, she could give up any dignity."I dared not guess."Franklin looked at her appearance, and a slight smile curved at the corner of his mouth. "Karsyn, what exactly about me attracted you?""You attract me in every way!" On him, she couldn't find any flaws.I didn't want to go and look for...
Upon receiving the news temporarily, Ernesto sat in the car and hurried towards the cargo hold where they transported goods.The car was driving in the city when it suddenly stopped."Hmm?" Ernesto, who had only slept for one hour since coming home in the evening, felt a sudden strangeness. His deep brown eyes were slightly open, exuding a dangerous aura...The driver in front, Irvin, reported, "Mr. Martinez, it is currently lunchtime, and there is a traffic jam."In fact, he had already been very cautious, and the car's stability was very strong. However, Mr. Martinez's sleep was really too light, and any slight movement could wake him up."As soon as possible, hurry over," Ernesto said, then he closed his eyes again, ready to take another nap.But suddenly, something caught their attention, and they opened their eyes in surprise...His gaze fell on the gap under the front seat...Shining, foreign objects that did not belong t
"Um. I know," Britney thought for a moment and then said, "Oliver, I know you have an excellent reputation in the Goldmoor legal community and a very high success rate in lawsuits. But my dad's case basically has no chance of winning. If you lose the lawsuit, it will have some impact on your legal career. So, maybe this time, we won't bother Oliver with my dad's case.""Ms. Hammond, how could I possibly abandon our years of friendship with your father at this critical moment for personal gain? However, without evidence, the chances of winning are very low. I have looked into it, and although I cannot guarantee your father's complete acquittal, I can at least reduce his sentence," Oliver said sincerely.Britney pursed her lips and said, "Since Oliver has said so, I won't refuse. I will trouble you with my father's matter!"Originally, I thought that a lawsuit was imminent. If we replaced Oliver with Raiden, as he had previously mentioned, the trust in the lawyer
"What I said!"The next second, Quinten took over the conversation."Quinten, have you grown wings? Are you openly defending her in front of me..." Maxwell felt his authority being challenged."I respected you as the eldest brother, but why have you been causing trouble and coming over so frequently these past three days?"Britney walked towards her parents.These past few days, finally having some free time, after having lunch, Quinten accompanied Diana to the outside of the villa, walking to aid digestion, and also to keep her company and prevent her from overthinking.Originally, I thought I wouldn't go far, just walk around and then go back home, so I didn't bring any other personal belongings with me.The old couple hadn't strolled so leisurely for a long time, and without realizing it, they walked far away.Walking back home, I saw two familiar sedans parked outside.The two of them exchanged a glance and then hear
Britney, who was standing behind, naturally noticed Jamiya's slight movement and immediately stepped forward to support Diana's body."Mom, are you okay?"Diana shook her head.The two people's gaze shifted towards Maxwell on the ground."You all get out of here! If anything happens to my dad, I won't let you off the hook." Geovanni shouted loudly, extremely agitated.Quinten intended to step forward and help, but he was shouted at by Geovanni and took two steps back.Immediately, Geovanni spoke, "Mom, call an ambulance..."Britney's eyes narrowed as she watched Geovanni, with Jamiya's help, carry the unconscious Maxwell on his back and quickly leave the Hammond family's old mansion.Maxwell's hypertension was not in the early stage, but rather quite severe. In her memory, she recalls that Maxwell always carried his antihypertensive medication with him. However, their first response was not to give Maxwell the medication, but t
Britney approached and grabbed her father's clothes, whispering, "Dad, let's go!"Quinten glanced at her, then looked at Maxwell, "But...""We are not helping here either, on the contrary, it is detrimental to Uncle's illness. Taking this opportunity, I would like to discuss something with you," Britney kindly said.Quinten hesitated for a second, turned around and walked up to Maxwell, saying, "Big brother, take good rest. I'll come visit you when I have time.""You look at me? When the time comes, it will still be me going to the prison to visit you!" Maxwell sneered.Quinten paused for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "Well, then I'll go first."Saying that, he took Diana's hand and left with Britney.Three people got into the car, and Bryant was still driving.Britney pursed her lips and said to Quinten, "Dad, Uncle Ken was definitely pretending just now.""Is it fake? How do you know?""Uncle has had hi
In Britney's words, there was apparent respect towards the Maxwell family.At that moment, the journalist's attention was also focused on Britney, with her back turned to the black car, so she didn't notice at all."So, Ms. Hammond, are you saying that this matter was the fault of your uncle's family?" a daring journalist asked, with sharp questioning.Britney's gaze shifted from the car back to the journalists.The corners of the lips curled coldly, "Sorry, when did I say that?"Although she secretly wanted to convey this meaning, she answered cleverly, regardless of how they guessed the meaning behind her words...She believed that justice lies in the hearts of people, and as for the truth or falsehood of the whole matter, there would be someone to judge."Ms. Hammond, do you have any feelings of dissatisfaction towards your uncle's family?" the journalist asked immediately.Britney smiled gently, but her words were full of d
Manuel always managed to conquer everyone with his unique charisma."Dad, don't give him too high of an evaluation, or he will become too proud!""Britney, you were jealous of me..."Although the couple used to argue, one could still sense the deep affection between them.Quinten and Diana exchanged a smile and served her favorite dish for her. They both ate their food without disturbing each other."I heard from your mom that you have recently started preparing to have a baby?"Quinten's words almost made Britney burst into laughter.When did mom become such a big mouth!"Wait until I finish the work in my hands, then I will consider the situation."Manuel took over the conversation and said, "Britney means that once she is done with her work here, we will start having children.""Did you see that I didn't lie? So, reduce some workload with Britney and let them have a baby earlier!" Diana scolded Quinten.
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
