“Never mind, Shay can play with whoever he wishes,” Logan said. Skylar looked at Logan awkwardly and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Scott. Shay must have misunderstood…” “It’s alright. Shay has such a pretty teacher. He’ll like you sooner or later,” Logan interrupted her. Skylar was momentarily stunned. Joy filled her heart. Logan had just told her that she was pretty! This meant that he had taken a liking to her! She showed him a shy expression as she said, “You’re exaggerating, Mr. Scott.” “I’m not exaggerating. I never lie.” Sonnet almost burst out into laughter. Logan worked in both the legal and illegal sectors. How could he not lie? Did men always shower women with sweet talk when they were trying to pursue them? It seemed like Logan did not have a good eye for women. He was actually trying to pursue Skylar! Logan reached his hand out to Shay and said, “Come on, Shay. I’ll bring you out to play. Let’s go to the place I promised to bring you lastnight.” Shay w
Felix stopped walking. Sonnet noticed Felix’s reaction. She feigned a shocked expression and asked, “Oh, was it that handsome man? Did Sonnet take the initiative to approach him?” “I don’t think so. He took the initiative to ask Skylar out!” The teacher beside Sonnet told her. “Tsk tsk, she’s truly capable.” “Of course. She’s a postgraduate student. She has a pretty face as well. Wealthy men like pretty women that speak well, and with high educational qualifications.”Felix turned around and walked back into the school. Upon noticing this, Sonnet pretended to ruffle through her bag. She then told the teacher next to her, “Oh, I left my phone in the classroom. Please go ahead without me.” The other teachers did not suspect anything. They left first. Sonnet returned to the teaching building and walked in the direction of the washroom. She heard voices when she was a distance away from the washroom. “Are you going to date him?” It was Felix’s voice. “I won’t let you go!”
Shay remained unresponsive. Skylar started singing out loud, “Be good, little bunny! Let me in…” She made cute poses, pouted, and smiled radiantly while singing. She then glanced at Logan. Logan narrowed his eyes while looking at her. He was smiling at her. She was over the moon. It seemed like her adorable image had caught his attention! Shay still did not respond to her even after she finished singing the song. Logan said, “What an adorable little bunny. If she keeps being that adorable, the big bad wolf can’t help but gobble her up.” Skylar raised her gaze to look at him shyly. She noticed that he had fixed a purposeful gaze on her. Her heart could not help but skip a beat. Logan was extremely handsome. Besides, he was wealthy. If she could get the opportunity to sleep with him, things would soon turn out well for her! No, she must hang in there! Regardless of how much she felt like approaching him, she had to remain virtuous in front of him! The more v
Logan’s chauffeur, Samson, knew that Logan would take at least an hour to finish his meal. Therefore, he went out for dinner after parking his car in the underground car park of the hotel.When he returned to the underground car park after his dinner and prepared to wipe down the car, he suddenly realized that there was a white scratch mark on his lavish Mercedes Benz! The white scratch mark was extremely long. It started from the front of the car, reaching all the way to the back. The scratch was deep as well. It seemed someone had intentionally scratched the car using a sharp object. “F*ck, how dare someone touch Mr. Scott’s car?!” Samson scolded out loud. He then made a call. “Fatso, aren’t you friends with the security team leader of Grand Harbor City Hotel? Can you get him to check the surveillance camera recordings? Someone made a scratch on Mr. Scott’s car. I’d like to find out who this bold person is!” He hung up on the call and waited for five minutes. He then receive
“I thought that he knew Miss Sky! If they knew each other, I would’ve let him go for Miss Sky’s sake. If they don’t know each other, I won’t let him go easily!” Felix cast a hopeful gaze at Skylar.Logan looked at Skylar and slowly said, “His face is swollen. Take a closer look at his face, Miss Sky. Are you sure you don’t know him?” Skylar did not even bother to look at Felix. She nodded and said, “I really don’t know him.” Felix’s gaze darkened. “Alright, I’ll take care of him myself if you don’t know him,” Logan said in a heavy tone. He then gave Samson orders, “Ask him to compensate for the car’s repair. My car is fully composed of imported original parts. It’ll probably cost tens of thousands of dollars. I’ll let him go if he manages to pay the compensation. If he can’t afford it, he’ll be punished under the rules of the gang.” Samson shouted out, “Alright, I’ll cut off one of his hands!” Skylar shuddered. Cruelly, she remained silent. Logan would definitely as
Skylar’s face stiffened. She gaped and found herself at a loss for words. “What’s the matter? Would you like me to send you to the station?” Logan asked. Skylar finally returned to her senses. She opened the car door and said, “It’s alright. It’s fine. Goodbye, Mr. Scott.” “Goodbye.” Logan turned around and smiled at her. Skylar got out of the car. She then maintained an elegant gait as she walked into the train station. After entering the train station, she could not help but curse under her breath. “Darn it!” She had just told him to send her to the nearest train station out of courtesy. Should men not insist on sending women back home? Logan was indeed a male chauvinist! She had simply suggested that he drop her off at the train station, but he actually did as she said! She clutched her chest and tried to calm herself down. She then tried to comfort herself. Wealthy men always acted recklessly. She should not mind his actions. What if he was heading off to re
Felix could only blame himself for acting on a whim back then. He did not dare to cause trouble in front of Skylar and could only bring himself to take his rage out on Logan’s car. Felix’s heart hurt at the thought of Skylar. He recalled how she had not even bothered to spare him a glance in front of that man. She knew that those men would cut off one of his hands, but she still cruelly pretended not to know him!She disregarded his life and death just so that their relationship would not be exposed to that man! Felix crouched down and wrapped his arms around himself. He felt extremely hollow. The pain in his heart far exceeded the pain in his face…He had been obsessed with her for so many years. He always thought that she was a pure and innocent goddess. He protected her and even did things that breached his personal principles for her. In the end, he did not even manage to win a pitiful gaze from her… ——Sonnet lay down on the bed after showering. Maxwell inched over
Skylar was worried all day that Felix would approach her.She had planned out her explanation, but she was still worried he would expose their relationship in public.Even so, Felix did not show up all day. Just before the end of the working day, Skylar asked around and found out that Felix had taken the day off, so she heaved a sigh of relief.On Saturday afternoon, she received a call from Logan. “Are you free tonight, Miss Sky?”Skylar was over the moon. She had been waiting for Logan to contact her for a few days now.“Yeah, I’m free. Is something the matter with Shay, Mr. Scott. Do you need me to look after him?”“Can I only contact you when Shay is involved?” Logan teased with a smile. “You aren’t his teacher on the weekends, and I’m not just his dad. We’re just a regular man and woman!”He emphasized “man” and “woman”, making Skylar’s heart skip a beat.“Of course you can contact me whenever,” she said sweetly. “Good. In that case, please come to a gala with me tonight.
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
