He thought it was Yves. When he thought of Yves, a strong desire suddenly ignited in his heart. Driven by his primitive desire, he got off the bed and hugged the person walking towards him in the darkness.When his hand touched the other party's body, he felt something was wrong. It wasn't Yves!That round waist and abdomen, as well as the strong smell of a man lingering at the tip of his nose, made his nerves jump. This was not even a woman, but a man!He immediately wanted to retract his hand, but the other party stretched out his arm and hugged him tightly.Lucas struggled with all his might. In the past, he would have been able to break free. However, he did not know if it was because he had drunk too much today, but he was unable to.The strong smell of alcohol rushed into his nose, followed by his lips which pressed against Lucas’ cheek.Disgusted, he almost threw up. "Did you get the wrong room!" he managed to say."That's right, my little darling. I came especially for y
"Bang!"With a loud bang, the bathroom door fan was kicked open from the outside.Two big men rushed in, grabbed him by the shoulders, and lifted him off his feet.Lucas did not struggle. With his current strength and being restrained by the burly man, struggling was just a waste of energy. He could only secretly gather his strength and look for an opportunity to strike with all his might.The two men threw him onto the bed. Director Feng issued a command. "Tie his arms and legs!"The two burly men immediately took action. Not long after, Lucas' arms and legs were tied to the bedpost in a "big" shape.Director Feng asked the two burly men to go out and stand guard, then turned on the lights.Lucas narrowed his eyes and saw Director Feng walking towards him. His eyes were filled with lust. "Little darling, just accept your fate. If you serve me well tonight, you'll have a good life in the future!"As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes.Lucas' heart turned cold. He felt
"Yes, I have something to tell you about Yves, but let me recover a little, okay? I'm in such a sorry state now!" Lucas lowered his head and said."There's no hurry. I'll send you back first."He said he would send Lucas back but did not send him to the hotel. Instead, he sent him to the apartment below Sonnet."I used to live in this apartment. I don’t need to pretend to be Johnson Yates anymore so it is empty. You can stay here for a few days," Maxwell said to Lucas.As he spoke, there was a knock on the door. Maxwell opened the door to welcome Sonnet in. Lindy followed her in.Upon seeing the two of them, Lucas looked awkward.Sonnet hurriedly explained, "When you called Maxwell, we happened to be together. I was worried that something happened to you, so I repeatedly instructed Maxwell to inform me after picking you up. That's why I came over."Lindy nodded and walked forward. She held Lucas' shoulder. "Lucas, we're family. If anything happens, we'll help you shoulder it! Te
A woman who would purposely push her boyfriend into another man's bed. How much true love would she have for her boyfriend?He only hated himself for being too in love. Sonnet and the rest had once kindly reminded him that Yves might not be serious about relationships, so he did not listen. Now that he had ended up like this, he could only blame himself for reaping what he sowed!Now that he thought about it, Yves was so intimate with other men when she was socializing. She couldn’t be just putting on an act. Perhaps she was such a casual woman!Maxwell came back from the balcony with a slightly different expression. "Carter found some clues.""What?" Sonnet immediately asked."Carter found out that there's a very famous plastic surgeon in Westalia. He performed plastic surgery on Yves. The first surgery was 28 years ago, and she went a few times after that. This doctor's surgery was very good, so the facelift was very effective."Carter showed him Yves' current photo. That docto
She looked up at Maxwell and saw him shaking his head at her with a serious expression. She swallowed her words of dissuasion.After some thought, she said to Lucas, "If you want to go back, we will respect your choice. However, you have to promise us that if anything happens, you have to tell us immediately!""I will. I didn't hesitate when I called Maxwell today!" Lucas smiled at Sonnet.Now that he thought about it, the reason he did not call Yves immediately was because he had doubts about her.But no matter what, he still had to face her. All the grudges and grievances should be made clear in person!Lucas didn't stay in Maxwell's house. He only rested for a while until the effects of the wine dissipated and he regained his strength. Then, he took a shower, changed into Maxwell's clothes, and returned to the hotel at the film base.When he returned to his room, he charged his dead phone and turned it on. He saw that there were many missed calls from Yves.He looked at the w
During the break between filming the next day, he scrolled through his phone and saw the news online. It was said that Director Feng of Harbor City's Tax Bureau had been reported for bribery and sex trafficking. Now, the higher-ups were intervening in the investigation.He remembered that Matthew had told him last night that "someone will come to investigate that person tomorrow". He knew that Matthew must have arranged for someone to report it.Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh. He was almost humiliated, but in the end, it was Matthew who helped him!During lunch, he received a call from Yves. "Are you feeling better today?""Much better," Lucas replied."Oh, that's good. Shall I accompany you this evening?""Let me look for you. There are too many entertainment reporters in the film city.""Alright, I'll wait for you at home!" Yves replied gently before hanging up.Lucas held the phone and looked into the distance with a stiff expression…He didn't go back on his
Yves smiled. "How am I helping him? I'm just passing on a message. Director Feng's wife isn't an ordinary person either. Since she found me, I can't scold her and send her away, right?"She came out of Lucas' arms and pouted. "I know you're unhappy, but Director Feng didn't succeed in the end. Even if he's really fired this time, his connections are still there. Not to mention that the person who reported him won't have a good life, even you and I might not be able to get anything good!"Your career will be affected and you'll be troubled by others. How upset will you be? I'm thinking that since you're not at a disadvantage, you should give in if you can. Take a step back and the world will be broader."Lucas' heart turned cold. He did not expect that the woman he loved deeply would use the words "take a step back and the world will be broader" to persuade him to endure the humiliation!Did she really love him?Lucas wavered. He was a little unsure of this relationship.He was si
Yves turned on the bed, and Lucas' heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly put the tie clip back into the drawer and lay on the bed.The medicine quickly took effect. This time, he did not think about anything and fell asleep.In the morning, he woke up very early. Without waking Yves up, he wrapped himself up tightly and left her villa.For the next two days, he did not take the initiative to contact Yves and focused all his energy on filming.During the afternoon break, his agent said to him, "The Brooks Corporation wants to shoot a promotional video with you. Do you want to meet their people and talk?""Brooks Corporation?" Lucas was surprised and thought of Maxwell.The manager nodded. "That's right. It's the very famous Brooks Corporation in Harbor City. They just bid for a piece of land and want to develop it into a new super community. They plan to film a promotional video and want you to be their publicity ambassador.""Alright, let's talk about it." For Maxwell's sake, Lucas
The young ladies below gathered together and discussed animatedly. As they spoke, they covered their mouths and laughed.Young Master Gunnnn didn't care what others said about him at all. He only focused on the bouquet in Sonnet's hand.Not only Sonnet's bonnet but also Lindy's and Zyra's. He wanted them all.Lindy was waiting beside Sonnet. When she saw Hayden's focused expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "Why? Hayden hasn't successfully won over Suki yet?"Sonnet smiled and replied, "That's right. It's said that every time Suki agreed to register their marriage the next day, someone would die the next day. Later on, Suki didn't let him talk about registering their marriage.""Young Master Gunn is really infatuated!" Zyra sighed.Lindy rolled her eyes at her. "He's not infatuated at all. Among those men, he's the most flirtatious. Zyra, you don't know what Hayden was like in the past. He went to the nightclub almost every night and changed his girlfriend every week! He boas
Sonnet never expected her father to be the son of a wealthy family in North City!More than twenty years ago, he met her mother, Leah Turner, and they fell in love. Leah was a female university student from a rural area. There was a huge disparity in family status, and the Turner family did not agree to this marriage.Myles’ mother had passed away early, and his stepmother did not treat him well. Therefore, when Myles was angry with his father because of Leah, she added fuel to the fire, causing father and son to fall out.Myles severed his ties with the Turner family and returned to his hometown with Leah, becoming a language teacher in the village.Not only that, but Sonnet also knew that Myles had studied under Mr. Oddie when he was in North City. Back then, his pen name was Mr. Edelweiss. In other words, the Everglow that Sonnet gave Will Brooks was painted by him!Some time ago, Will needed money so he sold the Everglow painting on the market. Coincidentally, a collector from
"What's going on?" Sonnet asked.Zyra held Sonnet's hand. "Actually, we're family."Sonnet was puzzled, but Logan smiled and said, "Zyra is Shay's biological aunt. The test results are out today, proving that she is indeed related to Little Shay!""Ah… What's going on?" Sonnet was very surprised.Zyra held her hand and explained, "Before my mother passed away, she told me something. She said that I had a biological sister. Three days after she was born, she was secretly carried away and sold by my patriarchal grandmother. Later, my mother was pregnant with me and never said anything for so many years. She only told me this before she passed away."She said that she asked around later and said that my biological sister was sold to Harbor City. This was also why I chose to accept the designer position at Eternal Jewelry back then. I always wanted to fulfill my mother's dream before she passed away and find my sister in my lifetime.Back then, when I saw Yasmin Finch's photo, I susp
Hayden immediately became alert. "You're too tired. Rest first. I'll pick you up for supper."Suki didn't refuse. He immediately drove off.There were no cars in the middle of the night, so he arrived in ten minutes. After calling Suki, she came out in less than two minutes. She looked very tired as if she couldn't even walk.Hayden immediately went out to open the door for her. As soon as she got in, she leaned against the back of the seat and sighed."Are you tired?" Hayden asked."That's right. We went to the scene first and then dissected it without stopping. The corpse this time was a little complicated. We didn't even have time to eat."Hayden's heart ached when he heard her words. He quickly handed her the supper. "Hurry up and eat some."Suki didn't take it. "I don't have much of an appetite now. Let's eat later. I'll rest for a while."Hayden started the car. "Take a few bites first. Don't starve yourself.""It’s already ruined." Suki smiled bitterly. "When I first st
"If you have something to say, just say it." Suki looked ahead."Well, when we were eating just now, what did you think when you saw that they were getting married?""I don't think anything of it. Everyone's life is different," Suki said calmly.Hayden stole a glance at her. "Haven't you ever thought—"When he saw Suki turn to look at him, he choked on the second half of his sentence."What are you thinking about? Marriage?" Suki chuckled. "What's so good about marriage? Once you get married, you're trapped. You can't even change to another man."Hayden immediately felt stifled. This woman still wanted to change men…No, how could his woman think of changing men? He had to work harder so she didn't have the time or energy to think of changing men.Or rather, he should trap her. Once she was tied up, she would not be able to escape."Besides, I'm very busy with work and my profession is scary. I don't think anyone can accept me even if I wanted to," Suki continued."That won't
Amidst the laughter, Marcus clapped his hands and said, "Lindy and I have already set a time for our wedding. You have to help!"Logan waved his hand. "Count the two of us in!"Everyone was stunned.Hayden spat at Logan. "What are you doing here?""What’s wrong with joining in the fun?" Logan rolled his eyes at him and threw down his red booklet. "I just registered my marriage!"Everyone was in an uproar and started talking at once.Zyra blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. "Congratulations!"She looked up and saw Sonnet.Sonnet smiled gently. "Congratulations on finding a good man."Zyra stammered, "Madam Brooks, don't you think it's too fast?""To be honest, the first time I saw you, I felt that you and CEO Scott are too compatible. It doesn't matter if someone is fated or not. It's fine as long as their hearts are connected," Sonnet replied with a smile.Zyra also smiled.As they chatted and laughed, they came to an agreement. Maxwell and S
Sara nodded mechanically. When the two of them got into the car, she remembered to shout, "CEO Scott, lunch today is already very good. There's no need to treat us anymore!"Logan smiled and said to Zyra, "Your colleague is an honest girl."The car started, but it was not in the direction of Zyra's house."Where are we going?""I'm taking you to see someone.""Who?"Logan smiled but did not answer. "You'll know when you get there."Half an hour later, when she saw the cemetery, Zyra knew who Logan had brought her to meet.She followed Logan silently to Yasmin's tombstone. She actually felt a little guilty, as if she had stolen someone else's position.Logan placed the white rose in his hand in front of the tombstone and said softly, "Yasmin, I'm going to marry a wife. You won't be angry, right?"Zyra looked at Logan in surprise. Marry a wife…She had only slept with him twice, and he was already going to marry her?The surroundings were silent except for the sound of the br
"Isn't your man handsome?" Logan closed his eyes and suddenly spoke.Zyra was stunned for a moment before her face turned red. She turned around shyly."He's just like a bandit. What's so handsome about him…" she said contentiously."Bandit?" Logan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zyra's smooth shoulders.He recalled the taste of last night and his heart began to stir again."I was a gentleman last night. You haven't yet seen your man acting like a bandit!"As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced…Zyra regretted saying those words and inciting a new round of "war". She did not expect that fellow's words to be true. It turned out that he could still be a little more "bandit"!As they left, she hugged him and asked, "Who am I?""You're my Little Zyra, Little Zyra."Zyra was completely relieved.That morning, Logan drove her to the office.In the afternoon, Zyra was about to go for lunch with her colleagues when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Then, Sara brought a
There was an indescribable melancholy in her heart, sour and bitter."The investigation might be because of my wife, but it’s not about helping you," Logan replied as he looked at her face.At this moment, he was very clear that the face in front of him was not Yasmin's face at all. Other than the fact that she looked similar to Yasmin, the rest of her features did not look alike at all.She looked weak, but she was very strong on the inside. She looked heartless, but her emotions were very fragile. She was like a blade of grass in the wilderness, growing tenaciously, growing the toughness that belonged to grass and the beauty of grass.She and Yasmin were two completely different women!"Then you're helping me…" Zyra asked softly. When she asked this, her heart was beating wildly."Don't I have a favor to ask of you?" Logan smiled. "I wanted you to see my son once a week."Wasn't it because he wanted her to pretend to be his son's mother?Zyra was a little disappointed, but Lo
