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

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.

"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

As she closed the door, countless thoughts raced through Jamiya’s mind.Had her daughter found out the truth?"Mom, is it true or not?" Stephanie stepped into the study, turned around, and fixed her gaze on Jamiya.If she had forced herself not to believe Britney’s words before, now, trying to convince herself they were lies felt utterly weak.Jamiya was her mother, and the subtle hesitation in her movements had already given away the answer. Yet, Stephanie still wanted to hear it confirmed.She was clinging to hope, the desperate kind one seeks when standing on the edge of despair.Jamiya had struggled with this decision countless times before—should she tell her daughter or not?

Therefore, she had to arm herself with thorns to protect herself and her family.Dealing with Stephanie was never her intention.However, since Stephanie had done what she did, if she didn’t fight back, wouldn’t that be too weak?Britney had never been someone to be bullied."Was Sierra's pregnancy also part of your plan?" Stephanie asked. Though phrased as a question, her tone made it sound more like a statement.Britney countered with another question, "Haven't you already guessed?"Sierra was caught between fear of her cousin and the desire for a good life. With such a conflicted mindset, how could she possibly have taken precautions?If she truly wanted to prevent pregnancy, she wouldn't have schemed to steal Stephanie's husband in the first place.Stephanie's face turned as pale as a sheet.

In fact, the entire press conference held by her father was orchestrated by Manuel. This included not only the so-called evidence but also the presence of both men. Firstly, it was to protect her mother from being verbally attacked by reporters. Since her mother rarely faced the media, the situation could easily spiral out of control. However, both her father and Uncle Prestonwere experienced in handling the press and could maintain control, leaving no room for reporters to exploit. Secondly, it played on emotions to win public sympathy...Britneyhad already witnessed Manuel's capabilities before, but no matter how big or small the issue, he always managed to come up with precise and effective solutions, arranging everything flawlessly. She had to admit that his intelligence and ability to handle situations were truly remarkable."What do you want to tell me?" At this moment, Stephaniesuddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

Stephanieglared viciously at Britney, who sat before her, looking utterly composed. “Very good! Very good! Britney, I’ve long known that you’re not as pure and noble as you pretend to be. Turns out, you’re the best at putting on an act among us.”This woman had done it on purpose!The so-called "most innocent woman in Goldmoor," the "most desirable woman to marry"—all of those titles were fake.Britneycurved her lips into a smile. “A soft persimmon without thorns is easy to crush! But Britneyis not someone you, Stephanie, can manipulate at will.”“Oh, really?” Stephanieswept her gaze over the villa. She had been distracted by Britney’s voice earlier and hadn't taken a proper look. The decor seemed simple, but every piece of furniture exuded an understated luxury—clearly expensive at a glance. However, aside from a single male servant, she hadn’t seen anyone else in the house. Her husband was nowhere to be seen either...Had

Didn’t I just buy some this morning?" Miaopened the door and saw Stephaniecarrying several bags."I’ll be cooking tonight. Help me wash the vegetables."

If Raidenhad known that the person on the other end of the phone was questioning their orientation, he might have smashed his phone in anger. But unfortunately, he lacked the ability to read minds."You don't trust me?"The way this woman asked questions was exactly the same as that guy, Manuel! Could it be that after living together for a long time, couples really started to resemble each other?Damn it!This realization put Raidenin a bad mood—because this couple actually made him feel a little envious. Envious of married people!"Alright, it was that Sierra’s uncle who ordered someone to do it. As for the news circulating outside, Franklinis also behind the scenes, fanning the flames."There was no point in hiding it. Britney's brain worked just like Manuel’s—sharp and brilliant.

While waiting for news, Britneywas already feeling restless in the bedroom.She watched as Manuelmade a call outside, hung up, then answered another one. Her heart was still suspended in anxiety, unable to settle.What were they talking about?Manuelslid open the glass door. Though his brows remained still, his dark eyes carried an unusual depth.“Is there news about my mother?” Britneytook a step forward and asked.Manuel’s grip on his phone tightened slightly, almost imperceptibly. “Get changed. We need to go to your parents’ house.”Hearing his voice, chillingly solemn, and seeing the grim look on his face, Britneyfelt as if something had clenched her heart. “Did something happen?”Manuel’s thin lips moved slightly before he finally spoke.
