"Where did you hear about this?" Nadia asked as she grabbed Kayla's hand. She was even more anxious than Lana.Kayla shook her head. "I'm sorry, I heard about this from someone else. I didn't have your contact before this, so I couldn't find you."Lana nodded. It was good enough that Kayla would take the risk to tell her. She didn't want to push her further.Lana patted Kayla's hand and said, "Thank you for letting me know. Also, good luck with the competition!"Kayla regained her confidence when Lana mentioned the competition. "Don't worry. This time, I won't let you win so easily."The two of them exchanged a smile.Lana and Nadia soon returned home. However, Nadia had been worried ever since she heard Kayla's warning."Don't be like this, Nadia. You're making me even more nervous," Lana said."But I don't want you to get hurt again," Nadia replied.Lana sighed silently. Nadia was too kind. "Don't worry. Do I look like someone who would just stand and take a beating?"Howe
Are you done discussing? If you have, then scram. We're about to start working," the portly man urged before Lana could reassure her employees."You're going too far." Peter couldn't hold back any longer. He walked toward the portly man as he wielded the ax.Terrified, Lana rushed to restrain Peter along with Billy and the others."Don't act impulsively, Peter. They're here for me. We'll fall into their trap if you resort to violence," she said earnestly."What?" Peter seemed to have come to a realization. "Then what should we do now? We can't just let them demolish the place, can we?" he asked.Lana gave him a reassuring look before she walked back to the man."Usually, there would be a proper procedure for demolition. You've just informed us today that this area will be demolished. And yet, you're going to tear down our shop on the very same day."This is unacceptable. Surely you need to give us some time to prepare?" Lana said. A voice behind the portly man spoke on his b
The portly man and Chris had already left, so there was no point arguing anymore.Peter, Jane, and the others were overjoyed. They welcomed their benefactor, Liam, into the restaurant."Mr. Liam, please have some juice!"Peter personally squeezed a glass of orange juice for Liam and brought it to him. Lana was about to remind Peter that Liam didn't like juice. Instead, he should get him a cup of coffee. However, she decided to let it go when she saw Liam politely accept the glass and take a sip.Lana suddenly felt perplexed.Liam had been acting strange lately!"Mr. Liam, are you hungry? I'll whip up some pasta for you."Jane's eyes were still puffy, so her smile was quite comical at the moment. Lana was quite impressed that Liam didn't lose his composure. It was just after lunch, so Liam wasn't that hungry. But at the thought of the restaurant's mushroom pasta, he couldn't refuse. Liam gladly accepted the offer, so Jane happily went to cook for him. Meanwhile, the others
In the end, Lana went ahead with the competition.After all, she had already reached the finals. She wasn't going to give up.Besides, the rumors circulating online weren't true anyway. So, Lana had nothing to be ashamed of.When Lana arrived at the TV station, she hadn't even stepped out of the cab when she saw a large crowd at the entrance. To be more precise, they were an angry crowd protesting against her.According to the protestors, the TV station made a mistake by allowing someone like Lana to participate in the competition.In the name of righteousness, numerous people rushed to the TV station early in the morning to protest. They were carrying banners while shouting, "Get out, Lana!"Even with the security team from the TV station working together, the commotion couldn't be suppressed. As time passed, the crowd at the entrance not only persisted but also increased."Perhaps I should just drive you back," the cab driver suddenly suggested.Lana hesitated for a moment be
Initially, it was just a small group of people making a fuss.As time went on, more people started realizing that the person standing on stage was the infamous Lana on the internet.How could the production team allow someone with such questionable conduct to take part in the competition?As a result, more and more people joined the protest against Lana.The protest from the audience grew louder, and the host on stage was also taken aback.It seemed like his luck this year was really bad. He thought hosting a popular variety show would be a turning point for his career.But who would have known whenever Lana was present, he would always run into the most heart-stopping moments in his career?This was the finals. And yet, Lana still managed to cause trouble.It was all happening during a live broadcast. If it went on, could the show even continue?Seemed like he wouldn't be able to keep his job today.The show's director tried to appease the crowd. But the more they tried to d
As she watched Liam's car drive away, Lana hung her head in dejection.It seemed like she had gone a bit too far this time.Liam had helped her so many times, but she didn't even express a word of gratitude. How inconsiderate of her.Lana felt that she needed to find some time to talk to Liam.However, Lana didn't expect that the time would come so soon.In the evening, while Lana and Olivia were preparing to conduct a Balanese language class for the restaurant employees, Lana suddenly received a call from Violet.Violet was somewhat hesitant on the phone. First, she said that she was feeling unwell. Then, she said that she wanted to come and see Lana. Lana knew that Violet probably had something to talk about, so she offered to go and visit her. By the time Lana was picked up by the Kane family's driver and arrived at the Kane Manor, it was already 9:00 pm.Lana hadn't eaten yet, so Violet insisted on having someone prepare her a meal. However, Lana rejected the offer. Sh
Violet stormed to Liam's study room. She pounded the door with fury, the sound echoing throughout the hallway."You rascal, come out now!" Violet shouted."I've handed you everything on a silver platter, and you still have the nerve to give me that attitude. If you don't go over there and clear things up today, you're no longer welcome in this house!"Liam opened the door and looked at her calmly.Violet pointed toward the door downstairs and demanded, "Immediately go after her! If you don't confess your feelings to Lana today, you're no longer my grandson!"Liam quietly helped her retract her outstretched hand as he said, "Can you not be so childish?""Me, childish?" Violet scoffed."I just want a great-grandchild from you. Is that considered childish? "Your parents passed away when you were young, and I've been watching over you on their behalf. Is that considered childish? "I don't want to leave this world knowing you're all alone. Is that childish too?"Violet bombarded
When Lana received John's call, she was busy working at the perfume store.Before each quarterly product launch, Lana would go to the store to conduct research, figuring out customers' preferences. This way, she could ensure the popularity of the products."What?" Lana said in surprise."That's not necessary. I almost forgot about it myself. You don't have to go through the trouble just to celebrate for me."John said something on the phone, and Lana eventually smiled and agreed to his invitation.When Lana showed up at the Lewis Residence, John and Darla weren't the only people welcoming her. Unexpectedly, Mandy was there as well. After exchanging greetings with the Lewises, Lana approached Mandy and took her hand."Dy! How come you're here too?" Lana exclaimed with a sense of inexplicable affection.Mandy finally saw Lana, and she was so happy that she could barely speak. She smiled and said, "I just wanted to come and see you."Then, Lana and Mandy walked ahead, hand in ha
