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
After he finished speaking, they both fell silent on the phone.After a while, Lucas replied, "Oh, alright. I'll help you."That night, he went to see Yves. Yves hugged him with a smile. "I haven't seen you for a few days. I thought you had a new lover!"Lucas smiled bitterly. "How is that possible? It's not like you don't know how I feel about you. It's just that I've been too busy filming these few days. As for you, what do you do every night?""I miss you…" Yves smiled coquettishly and leaned close to his ear. "Shall we shower together?""Alright," Lucas replied.In the past, his heart would have been filled with emotions long ago. However, ever since Director Feng's incident, his passion for Yves had subsided a lot, mainly because he had doubts about her.This was how he was. His body and heart were inseparable. Once he had an idea in his heart, his body would not react well.He took his shower with Yves seriously, so seriously that Yves was dissatisfied. "Have you been too
She immediately regretted it. "I shouldn't have dragged him into this. I should have made him stay away from that woman. This wouldn't have happened to him!""No, I dragged him into it. It wasn't you. I asked him to help." Maxwell stroked Sonnet's shoulder and said in a deep voice.He looked into Sonnet's eyes. "Don't worry, I'll investigate thoroughly. If his car accident wasn't an accident, none of the people who harmed him will be able to escape!"He turned to look at Marcus, who was by Lindy's side. "Watch over them and take care of the situation here. I'll go investigate the car accident.""Don't worry, I'll take good care of this." Marcus nodded and replied, and Maxwell strode away.Ten minutes after Maxwell left, the door of the emergency room opened.Sonnet and Lindy ran to the doctor together. "Doctor, how's the patient?"The doctor's forehead was covered in sweat, and he looked a little relieved. "The patient is out of danger. Don't worry."Sonnet and Lindy heaved a s
That the entire day, Sonnet and Lindy took turns guarding Lucas' bed. At night, Lucas' condition was much better. He could eat some liquid food.His injuries were mainly on his face. When he chewed, it would cause the wound on his face to hurt, so he tried to eat as little as possible.Even so, Lucas still recounted the situation of the car accident intermittently. Before he fainted, he secretly hid the sample in the gap under his seat. After a while, he felt someone touching him. He woke up with blood all over his face. He thought that someone was saving him, but he realized that the person was only looking for something on his body.The person didn't find anything. He originally wanted to search in the car, but because the airbags had all opened and he was sandwiched in the middle, it wasn't easy to move.That person was ‘in for a penny, in for a pound’. He grabbed Lucas’ neck and wanted to silence him. Fortunately, at this moment, the cleaner on the road suddenly appeared, forci
Yves' face twitched. "How would I know!""It's clearly you—" Lucas instantly became angry. He wanted to react, but his hand was grabbed.He turned to look at Lindy, who held his hand. "Don't be agitated, Lucas. I think Maxwell will let you figure out the whole thing."Lucas' agitated emotions calmed down slightly. He turned to look at Yves again and stopped talking.The living room fell silent. After a while, Maxwell spoke first. "Auntie."Hearing this, Yves' body trembled."Although it's a little awkward to call you that, you're indeed my aunt by blood. I can only call you that."Yves turned her head away angrily. "Don't call me that!""Are you going to say it first, or should I do it for you?" Maxwell crossed his arms and looked at her."Say what? What's there to say!" Yves turned and looked at Maxwell with a ferocious look.This was a moment Sonnet had never seen before. Yves was not being elegant.Maxwell didn't answer. He took out a recording pen from his pocket and pre
"What's going on between you and my mother? Why were you born and raised in South City?" Maxwell asked.Yves sneered. "Isn't it all because of your grandfather—my biological father? Although he's a successful businessman, he's an out-and-out superstitious person! Back then, my mother was pregnant and was diagnosed as having twins. He immediately found a famous fortune teller to divine it."The fortune teller said that the two girls in my mother's womb will affect the Yates family's luck and one needed to be sent away. My mother asked the fortune teller if the two children were born at the same time, how could they determine which one to send away? The fortune teller replied that the one who cries the loudest after birth had to be sent away.""Are you the one who cried loudest?" Sonnet couldn't help but interrupt.Generally speaking, the louder one cried, the stronger one was.Yves nodded. "That's right. Although I'm a younger sister, my cries were strong and powerful when I was bo
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
