After 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!"

    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?

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

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.

    "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

    Actually, she had always had a dream in her heart, which was that the prince would drive a luxury car and stand in front of her with a bouquet of flowers...This scene appeared many times in her dreams, but she never expected that someone would actually do it."Um.

    On the balcony outside the second floor of the villa, a slender figure was wrapped in a dark robe, standing there. The faint sunlight shone on the tall male body, creating a golden halo around the figure. The sharp short hair was topped with water droplets, giving it a cool and sexy look.Manuel had just finished taking a shower when he received a call from Cortez, reporting on the situation of the Maxwell family at the hospital. The cigarette butt flickered at his fingertips, and his sexy Adam's apple rolled up and down with each exhale of smoke rings.His cold narrowed black eyes deepened in color when he heard Cortez say that Maxwell had been arrested and the conflict between Jamiya and Stephanie had escalated. However, there was no extra expression on his face, as if everything had been expected long ago."Um." There was only a faint response before hanging up the phone.After finishing the cigarette in his hand, Manuel entered the bedroom. He pulled

    "Stephanie, how could you..." Jamiya scolded.With an incredulous expression on her face, she couldn't believe that her daughter had easily pointed out her son.But compared to Jamiya's strong protectiveness towards her calf, Stephanie appeared much more rational."You should go and ask the doctors and nurses here first, to see if you can take him away," Stephanie said calmly, but beneath her calm exterior, there was a storm brewing.The remaining two police officers heard Stephanie's words and did not give them a hard time. They approached the glass and took a look at the person in the intensive care unit she had just pointed out. One of them went to find the doctor, and after a few minutes, Geovanni's attending physician, Dr. Cortez, rushed over. The three of them were communicating.At this moment, Jamiya finally realized that her daughter's actions were entirely because of Geovanni's current state, which the police officer couldn't take away.

To his surprise, it was actually about his friend Britney...What happened to them in the end?They all didn't know.

However, he couldn't hold on and insisted on going back...So Manuel instructed Raiden to take Bryant home and have him rest for a few days.Manuel and Britney returned to the villa, and it was already dawn."I'll go take a shower first."

The two of them hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my son (brother)?"Maxwell walked with heavy steps and followed along.The attending doctor was surrounded by three people, took off his mask, and said, "The person has been saved, but once his condition improves a little, we will proceed with the next surgery.""Being alive is enough, being alive is enough... Doctor, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate well and let him recover quickly and undergo the surgery." Jamiya's suspended heart finally settled.No matter what, as long as you are still alive, it's good.Before, they said her son had only one breath left, and she knew it couldn't be true when she saw him for the last time.How could her son have had any trouble?Maxwell and

    That night, there was a close encounter with life and death.The lights in the hospital poured down, Manuel's cold and rigid facial features were too terrifying, and his aura was too powerful, leaving the nearby doctors standing there at a loss, not daring to say a word."If your hand were disabled, I would have to find someone with all four limbs," Britney threatened, seeing that Manuel was still unmoved.This man really didn't take care of himself at all. Although he knew he wanted to protect himself, his hands were definitely injured badly.The man, who had been staring at Britney's wound, barely reacted when he heard her words. "Let's go!""Mr. Castro, come with me over here," the doctor said in a pleasing manner.At that moment, Raiden walked up to Manuel from a different direction."You go first, I'll follow," Manuel glanced at the older doctor.The doctor quickly said, "Okay!"After the doctor left, Raiden whisper

    Raiden bumped Bryant's arm, indicating him to look at the affectionate couple after the robbery.Raiden has always been puzzled as to why there are so many flowers and plants outside, yet they insist on hanging themselves on a tree.However, seeing Manuel cherish someone so much, Britney wondered if she had saved the Milky Way in her past life.Britney let Manuel carry her onto the car.Now she is covered in mud everywhere, originally wearing a white evening gown, but now she looks like a beggar who has just come out of a garbage dump.There was not a single clean spot, whether on the body or on the face.Just as she was putting her down, Britney caught sight of the large patch of crimson on Manuel's arm, illuminated by the dim light inside the car."Manuel, what happened to your hand?" Britney pulled his hand over, blood had already soaked through his white shirt, flowing down his arm onto the back of his hand.It was as if at
