"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
Lucas felt his face stiffen as he forced a smile. "I just feel that your tie clip is a little special. What's the pattern on it?""This pattern is unique," Matteo replied with a smile. When he saw Lucas looking at him, he continued, "I designed this pattern. At that time, I was still young and wanted to be a designer, so I drew a pattern and wanted my dad to help me realize my dream. My dad got someone to make two tie clips and used the pattern I designed for the clips. It looks pretty good now, right?""Yes, it's indeed very special and beautiful. The design of the tie clip matches the design very well," Lucas replied with a stiff expression. "Then, are there only two tie clips?""Yeah, I only made two. My dad got an old craftsman to make two, and he even coaxed me that they were limited editions." Matteo smiled as he thought about what happened when he was young."Then your father must have always worn this tie clip, right?" Lucas asked again.He thought that since there were on
Maxwell didn't answer. He looked out of the window as if he was thinking about something…When Lucas left, Sonnet pulled him back worriedly. "You should interact less with Yves these few days. If she has some unspeakable secret, I'm afraid she won't let you off if you find out!"Lucas patted her hand and smiled. "I know what I'm doing."When he turned, Sonnet stopped him again. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"Sonnet pointed at the back of his neck. "Why did you hurt it?"She walked closer and stood on her tiptoes to take a look. Her expression immediately turned awkward. Previously, she didn't look carefully and thought that it was a cut. Now that she looked again, it turned out to be teeth marks. She had probably bitten it deeply, so it had turned dark purple.Lucas understood what Sonnet was referring to and felt a little embarrassed. "Well, she likes to bite me…"Sonnet hurriedly nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. Be careful on the way."After sending Lucas out, she turned around
