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
Nadia was curious and asked, "You guys know each other?"Howard explained first, "Mandy knew me since I was a kid. Our families keep in touch."People from Dawsbury City are rich. Lana knew early on that Howard's family was exceptional, but she didn't expect him to know Mandy."Why didn't you even tell your mom that you're back in town!" The way Mandy spoke sounded as if she was his relative. "She's been talking about whether you'll come back home this year!"Howard shrugged. "Don't worry, I'll head back. I have a flight tonight."Nadia frowned. "How come I never heard you mention that you'll return home for New Year? I thought you'll celebrate with us here. I even prepared a gift for you. I'll give it to you before you leave."Hearing this, Howard looked at her tenderly and said in a half-serious tone, "I'll stay if you ask me to."Nadia immediately rolled her eyes and said, "When will you ever be serious?"When Nadia went to her room to grab his gift, Lana noticed Howard lo
Everyone in the vegan pasta restaurant knew about Liam and Lana's relationship. So they weren't surprised that he showed up. What surprised them more was how Mandy, the renowned international actress, ended up here."Mands, hurry up and eat. Otherwise the pasta will get cold."Mands was a nickname given by Mandy's fans. At this moment, Mandy was surrounded by people. It was as if she were being exhibited as a work of art.Lana smiled bitterly, "Laura, you have to give her some space to eat the pasta. How can she eat with your face so close?" Laura quickly realized her mistake and moved her face away from Mandy.Laura had always been a fan of Mandy's. Her biggest wish in life is to attend a screening of one of Mandy's films. However, given her social status, even if Mandy were to do a roadshow in the city, she wouldn't be able to attend. Laura never expected Lana to share such a strong bond with Mandy. She even managed to invite her idol all the way from the distant Dawsbury
After the celebration, everyone returned to their own homes at 3:00 am. Only Liam stuck to Lana, leaving her somewhat at a loss. In fact, after he moved to Lana's house, he immediately went on a business trip. So, the two of them hadn't truly lived together yet. If Liam insisted on not going home tonight, it would be the first time they shared a bed since their marriage and divorce four years ago."Liam, you should go home. Grandma is still waiting for you to send her back," Lana said.Violet promptly stepped in to support her grandson. "Who said so? I don't need him to send me back. I can do that myself," she said. Lana said awkwardly, "The manor is so far from here, Grandma. Can you really walk all the way back?""Why can't I?" Violet declared confidently. "Even if I can't, I still have her!"Cherry, who had been grabbed at the collar by Violet, looked completely shocked.Could it be that Violet wanted her to carry her back home?"Grandma, am I really your granddaughter?"
"Mandy, so you really are the President's sister?"Mandy didn't seem as cheerful. She sighed and said, "What's the big deal if I'm the President's sister? I'm still alone!"At that moment, Lana didn't fully understand what Mandy meant. But she would soon find out."Why not?" If Lana had a brother who was the President, she'd probably be on cloud nine.However, even after becoming famous, Mandy still maintained a low profile. This was what impressed Lana the most.After parting ways with Mandy, Lana shared this shocking news with Liam via text. To her surprise, Liam wasn't particularly surprised."She was able to steer away from rumors even after all these years in the entertainment industry. I can't think of any other reason besides having a powerful background," he said."You're really no fun. Why analyze everything so thoroughly? You'll lose a lot of the fun in life that way."Liam didn't explain further. He only said, "Just remember what I told you. Dawsbury City is differen
