"That's 'nothing'?" Karsyn was stunned!

What did it mean to betray your best friend?

Karsyn felt like she’d just been stabbed in the back. Her heart sank. Britney knew too many embarrassing things about her…

If Franklin found out, she'd be mortified!

She blinked at Britney, silently asking what exactly she had told Franklin.

Britney, understanding Karsyn's unspoken question, simply smiled lightly and glanced toward Franklin. Her meaning was clear: the friendship she and Karsyn had grown up with was something Franklin could never understand.

"I'll skip dinner with you guys; I have something to do," Britney said, slinging her shoulder bag over her shoulder.

"It’s so late. You should eat first and then go," Karsyn replied, confused. She had never worked before and couldn’t understand why someone couldn’t just eat first and then get to whatever needed to be done. Wasn’t it better to do things with a full stomach?

Britney and Franklin were the same in that regard.

    The room was filled with colorful, dazzling flowers in full bloom—beautiful and enchanting.That night, Britney was very proactive."Manuel, does this mean we’ll have a baby now?" It felt like everything was just like usual, didn’t it?Britney had some doubts."I’m not sure if it’ll happen with just one time. If it doesn’t, I’ll keep trying until I’m sure you’re pregnant," Manuel said, a satisfied smile curling at the corners of his lips as he gently tucked her sweaty hair behind her ear.After their passionate moments, her fair face was flushed with a rosy hue. Her disheveled hair, wet from sweat, clung to her forehead, and her slightly parted lips were pink and flushed, exuding the charm and allure of a mature woman. She looked so tempting.Hearing his words, Britney wasn’t happy. "The way you say it, it sounds like you're the one who’s at a disadvantage."Was he on some kind of energy boost tonight? He was like a wild beast let loose, practically devouring her as though he wanted t

    There was a strange feeling, like she had dug a pit and was now jumping right in!"Since you're so confident, let’s avoid intimacy for the next month. After a month, we'll see if the baby has implanted," Britney suggested."Britney, you're doing this on purpose!" Manuel was feeling aggrieved. A whole month without intimacy? How miserable would that be? Holding her and just chatting? "Actually, my abilities are still lacking. We’ll need more attempts—no, make it dozens more— to improve the odds!""Go to hell, Manuel!" Britney retorted. A whole month of dozens of attempts? It would be easier to just kill her!At this point, Britney had already been thoroughly pampered by Manuel, who had helped her get dressed, even squeezing the toothpaste for her. He was just waiting for her to finish washing up."Darling, I'm back. Time to brush your teeth and wash up! I’ll ask Parker to reheat breakfast!" Manuel was unusually excited that morning. He handed her the toothbrush and was about to leave.

    As evening fell, the city’s lights began to glow, and the neon lights sparkled brightly.Karsyn’s engagement party was held at the famous Lafite Castle Hotel in Sydney, located in the northern part of the city with a prime geographical position and beautiful surroundings. It was a half-hour drive from the city center to the hotel, a European-style establishment. Being by the sea, the hotel boasted an open view, with a pool that perfectly complemented the sea.At night, the entire hotel, bathed in the brilliant lights, appeared grand and majestic, exuding luxury. The European-style ballroom was filled with sparkling lights, and the atmosphere was one of opulence.A line of expensive private cars was parked outside the hotel...Due to Franklin’s ongoing election campaign, the engagement party wasn’t too extravagant. Only close family members, a few business and political friends, and colleagues from both the Brendond Melton families were invited.“You’re only showing up now?” Karsyn pou

    Under the antique European chandeliers, the champagne flutes piled high at the banquet were filled with expensive champagne.Britney was feeling thirsty too. She walked up and picked up a glass of champagne, its light golden hue shining brightly. Just as she was about to take a sip, a hand snatched it away and replaced it with a glass of clear yellow liquid."You shouldn't be drinking now." Manuel took a sip from the champagne glass he had taken from her and cast a quick glance at her abdomen, signaling that it wouldn’t be good for the baby.Britney mirrored his earlier action, taking the champagne from his hand and handing him a glass of yellow drink. "You shouldn’t be drinking either, for the sake of our baby!"She smiled smugly after saying this.Her meaning was clear: not only did drinking affect the next generation for women, but it also had consequences for the men providing an essential something—meaning, his drinking was also harmful.Manuel gazed softly at her delicate face,

    "What’s so unbelievable about it? Do you think men are going to announce their affairs to the public? My husband used to be full of tricks... which rich man doesn’t have a few birds around him?" She hadn’t remembered this until her neighbor had casually mentioned it earlier. As soon as Stephanie sat down, disrupting their gossip, it came back to her.Without hesitation, she kept going, "Besides, I’ve always thought it was suspicious. That Schwartz family kid and Britney were in an open relationship for so many years, and then, just before the wedding, they switched the bride. Don’t you think there’s something fishy going on there?"The other woman listened and seemed to find some logic in what was being said.Stephanie saw that the women had left and relaxed her grip on the cup, taking a deep breath before walking over to Jamiya."Stephanie..." Jamiya had overheard the conversation from her seat not far away. The women’s voices had grown louder, clearly done on purpose, showing no fea

    “Britney, let’s go sit over there for a while.”Diana walked over, following Quinten. They could only listen to others talk, so it was better to spend this time with their daughter.“Aren’t you going to stay with Dad?” Britney asked, though she was already walking with Diana to a nearby spot. Quinten rarely brought Diana to social gatherings—not because he didn’t want her to go, but because he didn’t want her to get too involved in the complicated people and matters. Moreover, business banquets were often tiresome, and he worried she’d get bored. It was easier for her to relax at home.“I see him every day; right now, it’s more important to spend time with my daughter.” Diana, dressed gracefully, didn’t overdo it with makeup, but her elegance as a middle-aged woman was undeniable. At the engagement party, she turned heads, with some of the men stealing glances at her.At that moment, a plainly dressed middle-aged woman approached, exuding warmth. “Diana, that fish you made last time a

    If she wanted to tell her something, then there was no need to keep her guessing. Besides, Britney really had no interest in playing games with Stephanie.At that moment, the restroom was empty, with only Britney and Stephanie standing face-to-face, and Stephanie looked like the ultimate victor.“Do you really think it’s that simple for Franklin to marry Karsyn?” Under the warm orange light, the smile at the corner of Stephanie’s lips became even more sinister. “In Franklin’s eyes, Karsyn is nothing more than a pawn in a power struggle! You have to admit, Franklin is really deep. He’s been laying the groundwork for this game for a long time!”When Britney furrowed her brows, Stephanie felt an immense sense of satisfaction.She continued, “Do you know why Franklin suddenly started dating Karsyn?”Britney remained silent but watched her intently, knowing Stephanie would eventually spill the details.“It’s because Alexzander gave Franklin certain conditions and benefits, and that’s why F

    Stephanie stood still, still shaken by the forceful side of Britney she had just witnessed. Gripping the marble washstand tightly, this wasn’t the first time she had been intimidated by Britney’s overwhelming aura.This woman—how dare she still be so arrogant?Stephanie chose this moment to test Britney’s resolve. She wanted to see whether Britney would choose to cause a scene at the engagement party, making sure the ceremony couldn’t proceed, or whether she would watch helplessly as her good friend, Karsyn, invested her feelings in the calculating Franklin.Either outcome would benefit Stephanie.If the engagement ceremony couldn’t go forward, it would be a huge blow to Franklin during the campaign. Although she didn’t want Manuel to rise to power, if Franklin succeeded in marrying Karsyn, it would affect Conrad’s position in the Schwartz family. Compared to the benefits Karsyn brought to the Schwartz family, Stephanie’s own worth seemed almost insignificant, and there was a real cha

    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.

    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
