2024-11-19 13:49:48After hesitating for two seconds, Britney swiped to answer the call, saying, “Hello!”
In contrast to Britney's indifference, Conrad on the other end of the phone appeared particularly excited.
"Britney, you finally answered the phone!"
"Tomorrow at ten o'clock, Peninsula Cafe!"
Without giving Conrad any chance, she hung up the phone. Britney turned off her mobile phone again, immersing herself in the soft silk quilt.
Conrad...
This name... lingered in my heart for so many years, occupying such an important place...
To say she felt nothing would be a lie.
In a daze, Britney fell asleep.
When she awoke, it was already nine o'clock the next day.
She applied light makeup to look less haggard, had a small breakfast, and told her parents before heading out alone to the café.
Sitting in her private car, Britney's phone suddenly rang.
Britney picked up her phone and saw an unfamiliar number. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the man she saw at the hospital yesterday...
The phone was answered...
"Ms. Hammond!" the voice on the phone spoke first.
Hearing the magnetic voice, Britney smiled. "Hello, fiancé!" With a teasing tone, Britney indeed didn't know how to address the man she had only seen once.
The person seemed stunned for a moment before speaking, "Hello, fiancée!"
Britney smiled even more.
Britney smiled even more. “I’m on my way to cancel my engagement.”
"I am currently out of town and I estimate that I will only be able to return to Goldmoor tomorrow."
"I'll give you a contact number, so if you have any issues, just reach out to him directly."
"Good!"
After hanging up the phone, Britney received a text message shortly after. Seeing the name, Britney was surprised and became a little more curious about the identity of her fiancé.
Ernesto Martinez!
The leader of the gray areas in Goldmoor, known for his ruthless methods and bloodthirsty reputation that terrified others.
Did he bring out such a big character because he was worried about her safety?
Moments later, she arrived at Peninsula Café.
Elegant decoration, melodious music.
As usual, a server led her to a private booth where she and Conrad often sat.
They used to come here often in the past. He would always come early and order her favorite coffee and snacks, waiting for her.
At this moment, Conrad seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and he immediately stood up when he saw Britney.
Dressed in a well-tailored suit, the gentleman gallantly pulled out a chair for Britney and then returned to his own seat.
It has to be said that Conrad's appearance, coupled with his wealthy background, attracted many Goldmoor women. They had a public romantic relationship in the past, and she even faced verbal attacks from his admirers.
"Britney, this is your favorite pink rose!" Conrad held up a vibrant bouquet of roses, exactly eleven in number.
Britney's eyes narrowed slightly as she took it.
"I knew your purpose! What I wanted was also very simple..."
“Go ahead!” Conrad maintained his smile.
“Cancel the engagement!”
Conrad's hand paused for a moment, and he spoke in a deep voice, "Is there no room for negotiation?"
Britney took a sip of the cappuccino she once loved in front of her and shook her head, "And I wished that you would marry Stephanie two days later!"
Conrad looked up and met Britney's gaze, but he couldn't find the previous infatuation she had for him in those beautiful eyes.
"This was my final kindness to you! It was also the last friendship!"
"Britney, you know I loved you! How could you..." Conrad anxiously explained, feeling an inexplicable fear in his heart, afraid of losing her.
As Britney looked at him, he felt more and more like a stranger.
"Conrad, don't make me look down on you! Don't have a careless attitude and sleep around with women!"
"I... I..." Conrad felt a bit guilty as Britney spoke.
Indeed, he never intended to take responsibility for his relationship with Stephanie. They had simply agreed to be friends with benefit…
"I also didn't want to embarrass each other!"
Leaving her words behind, Britney picked up her bag and prepared to leave. She didn't want to continue facing him, unsure if she would soften her heart for this man she had poured so much love into.
But just as she stood, everything blurred before her eyes.
Conrad looked at Britney, who was lying on the table as if asleep, and struggled internally.
He whispered under his breath, "Britney, please don't blame me! If anyone is to blame, it's only because I loved you too much! Our union was inevitable..."

In the luxurious suite, Conrad wore a simple white robe, with sparkling water droplets hanging from his brown hair, and even droplets of water dripping onto the snow-white sheets along his resolute profile."Britney, I loved you! Stephanie and I... it was just a momentary confusion..."“You love me, right? You believe in me, right?”However, the person in the bed did not respond, only the sound of steady breathing.He gently and slowly touched the beautiful cheek of the sleeping woman with his fingertips, feeling the wonderful sensation, which surprised him greatly.Gradually, he became dissatisfied with this and wanted more. His hand slowly slid down...Twenty minutes ago, a low-profile commercial vehicle was traveling at a constant speed on the road.Inside the car, the man's lips curved slightly as he looked at the words "call ended" on the screen."Fiancé"Just a second later, the man's slender eyebrows furrowed without leaving a trace."Get the plane ready, now!

Britney woke up, and it was already late afternoon.The moment Britney opened her eyes and looked at the hotel's iconic chandelier, her heart skipped a beat.Anxiously pulling back the covers, she breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her clothes intact."Phew!"She lifted her gaze and met a pair of deep, starry eyes, as if they could see through everything, which made Britney feel deeply moved.The man sat upright on the chair beside the bed, dressed in a neat and stylish suit. His handsome and unblemished facial features did not fade away because of his short hair, but instead highlighted the competent temperament that a man should possess.For the first time, it was her first time seeing a man with such short hair, and he looked so handsome.Britney snapped back to reality, her cheeks flushing pink from the mind wandering. “Did he leave?” Obviously she was asking about Conrad."Mmm!" The voice was deep and rich, like a cup of carefully brewed hot coffee, intoxicating and lingering.

It was only two seconds, and Britney even thought that the moment just now was just an illusion.Looking up, Britney unexpectedly caught a faint hint of red on Manuel's indifferent face.Is it his first time?"With a stamp as proof!" Manuel exclaimed, then swiftly departed. He touched his thin lips, still feeling the sweet and soft sensation from just now, almost losing control.Britney reached towards her lips, still carrying a hint of warmth. She felt a surge of delight—could it be that she had seduced a virgin?Let's see, Manuel should be around 27, 28 years old! Has he never been with a woman at this age? Could it be that he has been too focused on training in the training area and lived a very austere life?Britney took Bryant back to the Castro's villa.As she pondered how to explain to her parents about Bryant—After all, it's not a grown man following her around.She hadn’t even stepped through the door before she heard a sharp voice.Britney was well aware of this sound.

"No need! The Schwartz family invited us to have dinner tonight!"Whether intentional or unintentional, Maxwell's words carried a hint of pride.Britney recalled that Conrad did not succeed this morning and instead made plans with Stephanie's family, which could be considered as accepting the conditions she proposed.Britney's family saw them off as they left."Cousin! You wouldn't mind, would you?" Stephanie deliberately slowed down her pace."Stephanie, there's no need to put on airs in front of me!"The calmer and more peaceful Britney appeared, the more it ignited Stephanie's jealousy."Britney, I don't believe for a second that you don't feel anything!" Stephanie taunted. "In two days, Conrad will be marrying me! Not you!"Catching a glimpse of Stephanie's proud face, Britney simply smiled faintly.In the past, Stephanie couldn't stand it if she had something good and didn't have a share of it. The family education always reminded her that she was their cousin, and if they could

Goldmoor, Seventh Club, top-tier private room.In a slightly dim environment, colorful and dazzling lights dotted everywhere.Women wearing revealing clothes, passionate music..."Mr. Calderon, how long has it been since you last came...""Women! So delicous. It just feels so great holding them in your arms!" He said, then leaned in and kissed each of the beautiful women on their cheeks, his hands also wandering around, causing the women to giggle ambiguously.“Manuel, only you could bear to send me to that godforsaken place!”Although angry, still smiling.Sitting on the genuine leather sofa, Manuel elegantly lifted his wine glass, swaying the dark liquid inside. His deep eyes were lost in thought. And across from him sat his good friend, Raiden Calderon, with whom he had grown up and faced life and death together."Was there any gain?"Raiden was about to touch that seductive and alluring skin when Manuel asked a question, immediately dampening his enthusiasm. He knew...Raiden wave

The 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 word

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

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
