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
When Mandy agreed to be Lana's spokesperson, Lana started reorganizing her properties in Gilsbury City. She planned to relocate the spa and perfume store to Dawsbury for a trial run. The vegan pasta restaurant was a well-established business in Gilsbury City. So, she thought it was better to keep it there for now. Once things in Dawsbury were stable, Lana planned to introduce new items to the menu before relocating the restaurant.After organizing everything, Lana returned to the pasta restaurant. She planned to discuss the creation of new menu items with Peter. Upon entering the restaurant, she noticed Peter and a staff member having an intense conversation. "He has gone this far in getting things done. Isn't that a great show of affection for Lana?" "Just think about it. He challenged the higher-ups and still came out on top all by himself. That takes tremendous courage, doesn't it?" "I hereby declare that from now on, Liam is my new crush."The passion of this discus
In fact, Lana was deeply saddened by Liam's behavior. However, she was determined to make things clear. "Could you spare some time for a stranger like me, Mr. Liam? I have something to talk to you about." Liam turned and headed back to the elevator, stating, "I'm not interested." As the elevator doors closed, it was as if Liam and Lana were now in two different worlds. Liam's aloof expression had already made everything clear. They no longer had any relationship.Lincoln thought that when Liam returned to the elevator, he would return to his office. However, Liam didn't have that intention. He casually stopped on a random floor and smoked quietly in the stairwell. It had been a long time since Liam had smoked, and the fact that he started again in such an unpolished manner genuinely took Lincoln by surprise.Holding a briefcase in his hand, Lincoln stood straight beside him. After a prolonged pause, he asked, "Sir, why didn't you tell Ms. Clark the truth? You offended t
It was almost eight in the evening. In the corner of the second floor at Gilsbury's most luxurious Fleines restaurant, Sherry Wheeler was sitting there looking restless. She was dressed in an elegant light pink dress and looked charming. "Waiter, could you please bring me another glass of water?" Sherry asked. "Well … Miss, you've already had ten glasses of water. I'm afraid you might need to use the restroom frequently later," the waiter reminded her.Sherry seemed visibly surprised, not realizing she had drank so much water. She gestured to the waiter and said, "Thank you for the reminder. I've changed my mind about that glass of water."After the waiter left, her fidgeting continued. One moment, she'd check her makeup in a little mirror. And the next, she'd adjust the neckline of her dress to ensure it wasn't too revealing. After all, she was meeting none other than Liam Kane, someone who was known for his cunning and ruthless nature.It was said that the Kane famil
While Liam was still lost in thought, Lana used her finger to gently lift his chin. "What are you staring at? Aren't you coming home with me?" After saying that, Lana didn't even bother to see Liam's response. She simply turned and walked away. Lana felt that if she didn't leave soon, the situation might get rather awkward.Liam didn't hesitate this time. He smirked and let out a low whistle. Then, he swiftly followed Lana out of the restaurant. The two of them walked out of the restaurant one after the other. Liam was about to head to his car, but he noticed an incredibly cool motorcycle parked at the entrance.Lana glanced at him mischievously and tossed the other helmet in his direction. "Get on." Liam raised an eyebrow in mild surprise. Most men couldn't handle such motorcycles, and Lana kept surprising him time and time again. Liam put the helmet on as he smoothly got on Lana's motorcycle.The thunderous sound of Lana's motorcycle immediately attracted the curiosi
Without hesitation, Lana immediately called Violet. At the same time, she grabbed the coat she had just removed and headed outside. The moment the call connected, Lana hadn't even begun to speak when she heard Violet sobbing. "Lana, you finally called back. What do we do? What would happen to Lee? Could it be that the bad people have kidnapped him again?"Somehow, whenever Violet couldn't reach Liam, she couldn't help but recall those unpleasant pasts. Her heart sank, and she felt a bone-chilling cold all over.Lana hurriedly comforted her, "Grandma, please don't cry. Liam is fine. He has been with me all night."Violet was confused. "Huh? You two were together last night? But didn't Lee go on a blind …"Violet almost let it slip. "I mean, he had some evening plans. How could he be with you? Lana, you need to explain this to me." "Grandma, please don't worry. Liam should be getting home soon." While reassuring Violet, Lana walked out of the elevator, intending to get on he
After Lana discussed her plan to develop her existing business in Dawsbury City with Liam, Lana received his strong support.According to Liam, Dawsbury City's territory was too small, and its development was limited. Lana should move to a bigger city if she wished to expand larger.With Liam's support, Lana initiated her plan with peace of mind.Because she already had access to Dawsbury City with Mandy's help, Lana could move her spa and perfume shop there in just under a month.The perfume shop was renamed "Allure", while the spa was renamed "Enjoy". With such mysterious and high-end names, coupled with Mandy as the spokesperson, Lana quickly entered the market in Dawsbury City. Many people visited the shop out of curiosity and left satisfied, making Allure and Enjoy rapidly becoming popular among the youths in Dawsbury City.Everyone was curious how Mandy became the spokesperson for these two brands. She had never taken on any advertising endorsements in her decades-long c
