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
John drove Lana home, while Mandy stayed overnight at the Lewis Residence.Darla brought a bottle of Mandy's favorite red wine to her room."Why are you suddenly in the mood to drink today?"Fresh out of the shower, Mandy wore a white slip nightgown. Her fair skin was tinged with a hint of pink from the hot water. The curves of her body were beautifully sculpted, enhancing her breathtaking beauty.Setting the bottle aside, Darla chuckled. "You're really wasting your looks and body."Mandy understood what she meant and wasn't bothered by it. "What? Are you jealous?"Darla quipped, "If I really cared, it wouldn't matter to that person, right?"Mandy's mood sank to a new low when she thought of that man.Because of that man, she lived a life of wealth and comfort in her early years. It was also because of him that her later years, despite being filled with glory, were marred with loneliness and hardship.Seeing Mandy's discomfort, Darla realized she had misspoken. She was about t
Lana thought that his anger was uncalled for. "Liam, if that's all, you can leave now."She didn't want to deal with this man anymore!Liam obviously misunderstood her. "Do you think I'm in the way here?"Lana retorted, "If that's how you want to see it, I can't do anything about it."Liam was so angry that he felt like he was about to blow his top. How could Lana be so indifferent to him?Lana didn't want to continue arguing with him. She decided to grab a bite at the restaurant before heading home. However, as soon as she turned around, she fell into a warm embrace. Before she could react, Liam pressed his cool lips against hers.Lana's eyes widened in surprise and confusion. Liam had clearly rejected her, so why was he still doing this?In fact, Liam had only wanted to punish Lana for her constant chattering. Yet, he couldn't resist her alluring taste, repeatedly drawn to her lips. However, Liam hadn't had his fill yet when Lana suddenly pushed him away.Then, a resoundi
