Lindy thought about it and replied with a grin, “Right. You’re so considerate.”“Of course.” Marcus was happy that Lindy was praising him.The two were eating when they heard a commotion.Lindy craned her neck to see what was going on and she was amused. Jessie had started an argument with someone again and that person seemed to be one of the women from the restroom just now.“Let’s go have a look.” Lindy had a nosey look on her face.Marcus was not interested in drama. He was about to tell her not to go when he looked down and saw her holding his hand.His face turned red immediately and he stood up to walk over with her.Ray had no idea where the two were going. When he saw them going over to join in the drama, he showed a look of disbelief.He looked at his eldest son and asked, “When did that kid become such a busybody?”Bill was surprised too. Then, he laughed. “Perhaps he met someone interesting.”Ray glared at Bill. “Are we calling busybodies interesting now? I think t
“She’s framing me! Shouldn’t I uphold justice for myself?” Jessie barked.Marcus wanted to continue talking but Lindy pushed him away.“You don’t have to, I’ll help you…”Before Marcus could finish his sentence, Lindy interrupted him softly, “Thank you, but this is my business. I can take care of it myself.”Marcus’ heart skipped a beat when he saw the confidence and firmness on her face.She was still the same. She was still the high-spirited girl on the basketball court.Lindy grabbed the microphone on the table and said, “Firstly, I didn’t post that. Secondly, even though I didn’t post it, it’s true.”Her voice resonated throughout the hall.Now, even the people at a distance could hear what Lindy said. The guests were all in an uproar.The Cole family was just nobodies among the upper class in Harbor City. Jessie’s top scholar persona only influenced a small area, but today, she held Micah’s hand to attend Will’s birthday party proudly with the air of the Third Young Miss
Sonnet smiled slightly. "I have evidence." As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her bag.Lindy took the paper in Sonnet's hand, looked at it, and raised it up for the people around to see. "Everyone, look! This is the exam admission slip. This is the evidence that Sonnet took the exam, not Jessie."Jessie rushed forth and snatched the exam admission slip from Lindy's hand. "You must have forged it!""Whether it's a forgery or not, you can check it to find out yourselves. The venue for the exam back then was printed all on the admission slip. I think this will be verified with this!""Then are you a fool to go in my place?!""I'm not a fool, but I had no choice. Back then, my father was paralyzed in bed and our house collapsed due to a heavy rain. I really didn't have the money to repair the house. In addition, my biological mother kept begging me, so I helped you." Sonnet said, her eyes slightly red.The guests started talking,"This girl is really kind. She never
That puppy-eyed pleading expression, how pitiful.If Maxwell saw this, his jaw would probably drop in shock!Mr. Pine, who had always been calm and stoic, could still pretend to be pitiful!Lindy did not push back and flashed a hearty smile. "Okay, since I promised you, of course, I have to do it, right? Tell me, what else should I do?""You don't need to do anything, just have dinner with us.""How is that difficult?" Lindy said and pulled him back.After they sat down, Lindy felt Ray Pine’s particularly cold gaze upon her. "Do you know the Second Young Miss of the Brooks?""Yes, we are childhood friends," Lindy said without hesitation."So, she asked you to make trouble with Jessie tonight?""Of course not! She won't let her best friend do such a thing. I just couldn’t stand Jessie's arrogance anymore! I don't know how much Jessie has benefited from Sonnet but Sonnet was never calculative. But Jessie is envious and always makes things difficult for her, it's too much!" Lindy
After a while, she smiled and said, "Okay."The weight on Marcus' heart suddenly dropped.Then, Lindy's phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, her eyes lit up."Lucas! You're back?" She answered the phone, her voice full of joy.Something was said over the line and she immediately replied. “Oh, sure, then I’ll go now!”Marcus' heart sank.Lindy hung up and smiled apologetically at Marcus. "I'm sorry, my friend came back from abroad, and I want to get together with him, shall we make an appointment next time?"Marcus suppressed the disappointment in his heart and said to her, "It's okay, let me take you there?""Erm…that’s not too nice...""It's okay. I have nothing to do anyway. I'm just driving. It's not easy to take a taxi at this time."Lindy smiled brightly, "Oh, then thank you!"Marcus finally felt a little relieved.Lindy got into the car, Marcus asked where she was headed, and started the car.The place was very far away, a hotel in the suburban film city."Why is
He cheered up and started the car, ready to leave.At this moment, he saw Lindy coming out of the hotel with a man.The man wore a sports jacket with jeans, and his long legs made him look extraordinarily slender. Coupled with his slightly styled hair, he looked like a college student in his early twenties, youthful and energetic.Marcus looked down at his suit and suddenly felt like an old man!When they left the hotel and turned around, Marcus saw the man's face.Slim and handsome, with deep eyebrows and eyes, the pretty boy type!Marcus turned to look at Lindy again. She was talking to the man, her whole attention seemingly on him, and she did not even notice that his car had not left yet.Marcus felt an ache in his heart, lowered his head, and started the car.Since he was a child, he has been a top student and capable of anything. Even in front of Maxwell, he never felt that he was inferior to him.But today, he actually felt like he was defeated!Not only in temperament
"Then I'll call Sonnet over tomorrow so that the three of us can get together?" Lindy asked tentatively.Lucas shook his head. "Forget it. I have to be on standby for filming all day these days, so I’ll probably be busy.""Then shall I accompany you?""No need, don't you need to be on-site yourself? You should just go about your business."Lindy's eyes dimmed, but she did not say much.The two ate in silence, and Lucas stood up. "It's getting late, shall I call a taxi for you?""No, you go back, rest, and take care of yourself. I'll just book a taxi." Lindy waved her hands and stood up."It's a bit late, and it's remote here, a girl being alone—""Am I an ordinary girl? I usually go on-site and I've always been alone when I'm on a stakeout, so don't worry about me!" Lindy said casually.Lucas chuckled. "Well yes, you are very good."The two left the restaurant and parted ways. Lindy walked a few steps and turned around, watching Lucas' back disappear from sight. She felt warm
Marcus took it without a word.Although he knew that this was the best time for a hero to save the beauty, but Lindy's firm gaze convinced him that he should watch quietly first.The motorcycle man looked Lindy up and down. Her slender neck and slender legs reflected every inch of womanly beauty.He could not help whistling. "Baby girl has a smashing bod, I like it! You said it, if you lose, I can do whatever I want, then I will show no mercy!""Sure." Lindy responded, lifting the hem of her skirt, revealing a small section of her thigh above her knee.The motorcycle man squinted and was about to speak again when Lindy suddenly turned and gave him a roundhouse kick."Boom"!Before the man could utter a word, her foot hit his jaw. He fainted instantly, and fell straight down with a loud noise.Marcus opened his mouth into an "O" in surprise.‘I knew that she would be capable, but I never expected her skills to be so neat!’Lindy put down her skirt, patted the hem of the skirt,
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
