Hot Shot Divorce Chapter 157 A Peculiar Relationship
"My apologies, Joyce. Young people nowadays are so blunt."Joyce's expression turned sour. When did Mandy have such a formidable sidekick on her side?"And she is?" Joyce asked.After all, Lana looked about the same age as Rosa. Mandy had not had much contact with her family for many years. In their social circle, secret marriages were common. It was possible that the young girl with Mandy was her daughter. Plus, the two of them looked strikingly alike.Mandy kept her promise to Lana and did not reveal her identity. She replied, "This is my assistant.""What?" Rosa suddenly jumped from the sofa. "Just an assistant? And she dares to talk to me like that?""If someone young like you can boldly speak ill of their elders in front of them, then as a junior assistant like me, what can't I do?"Lana stood in front of Mandy like a shield.At this point, Joyce couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to defend her daughter."Mandy, isn't your assistant going too far? How can she

Seeing the situation on the verge of getting out of control, Joyce quickly stepped forward."Look at all of you. Why is everyone so worked up? It's been so many years. Can't we sit down and have a proper conversation?"Saying this, Joyce pulled the still-stunned Mandy up and said, "Come on, Mandy. It's more lively downstairs. Let's go downstairs to talk."Then, Mandy was dragged downstairs like a puppet.Watching Mandy's back, Romelius took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and gently wiped away his tears.Devon lightly patted his shoulder. "So many years have passed, and you still haven't moved on?"Romelius shook his head. "Some things are hard to forget."The brothers candidly discussed secrets unknown to others, which made Lana extremely uncomfortable.If she were to speak up now, would they silence her?"If Grandma had only agreed back then …"Seeing that Devon was about to delve deeper into the conversation, Lana finally couldn't sit still any longer.Worried abo

Priscilla enjoyed being complimented the most. She couldn't help but laugh continuously at the praises for Rosa. "Don't praise her so much. You know, Rosa doesn't like it. She didn't want me to mention her participation in the competition in the first place. But those reporters just happened to notice it."Just last month, Rosa won second place in an International Math Olympiad. All the participants in the competition were old folks who had been studying math for years. Each one of them could be Rosa's grandparents. However, Rosa managed to stand out among this group of elderly contestants and secured second place. This made Priscilla very proud.Her eldest grandson became the president, her younger grandson was a world-renowned scientist, her granddaughter is an international movie star, and now her great-granddaughter has won second place in a world-class competition. She couldn't help but wonder, in the entire Dawsbury City, which old lady could be more illustrious than he

Rosa was stumped by the naïve fool standing before her. Rosa was the runner-up in the International Math Olympiad. Even the champion of the National Math Olympiad could not compare to her. How could Lana, who probably didn't even know what the Math Olympiad was, dare to challenge her?Rosa wanted revenge for what Lana did upstairs. She didn't expect Lana would come knocking on her door.She wouldn't let the opportunity go to waste. She had to show Lana what a genius truly was. She had to let Lana know she was just a crazy fool before a genius like Rosa."Sure!" Rosa crossed her arms and walked toward Lana. "We must have a punishment. Otherwise, it would be boring.""I think so too!"Rosa couldn't help laughing. "It's up to you to decide the punishment, or others might think I'm bullying you!"Grinning from ear to ear, Lana replied, "I'm not familiar with punishments. I'll let you decide.""Well, if you lose, you must crawl and bark like a dog as long as you are in my house,"

After another 30 minutes, Rosa began working on the third problem. Meanwhile, Lana was still standing in front of her blackboard, chalk in hand. Once she lifted the chalk, she froze, staring blankly at the three problems."In trouble now, aren't you? Can't do it, huh? Let's see how long you can keep up the act.""Now you finally understand what advanced math is, right? You can't even understand the problems. Yet you dared to challenge a world-class competitor. Utterly delusional."Smiling slyly at everyone, Joyce said, "Come on, folks, she's just a young girl who hasn't seen much of the world. If she loses later, don't mock her. After all, we need to take care of her dignity."Joyce's implication was clear: Lana was destined to lose.At that moment, a cold voice cut through the air. "Maybe you should worry about your daughter being mocked instead."Joyce turned around to see Mandy looking at her with a smile that didn't reach her eyes."Mandy, if Rosa does something embarrassi

Rosa would never accept defeat! How could she lose to a nobody? As her face grew darker, Lana and others knew her answer.Rosa refused to call Lana "Queen Lana". Shrugging, Lana said, "Fine, if you don't want to call me Queen Lana, that's okay. I guess the President's family is just like this."This was the second time Rosa had heard this phrase from Lana. The first time, she hadn't realized the gravity of the situation. But now, in front of so many people, it wasn't just her problem anymore. It involved the dignity of the whole family.Just as the words left Lana's mouth, Priscilla's expression turned exceptionally unpleasant. The loss of a member from the President's family turned them into a laughingstock."Rosa, is this how we taught you?" Priscilla's tone was unfriendly, but she tried to maintain the dignity befitting a member of the President's family.Rosa's eyes reddened. She hadn't realized this woman was so capable, not only in mathematics but also as a master of wor

"What are you doing, Rom? You scared me."Romelius suddenly came to his senses. "Did you call me 'Rom'?""I don't want to call you Uncle Romelius. So, I have no choice but to call you Rom. Since it's rude to call you by your name directly." Romelius' attention was clearly not on how he was being addressed. After he calmed down, he sat next to Lana and said, "You mentioned that you were an orphan. Is that true?""Rom, do you think I would joke about something like that?" Lana asked as she looked at him disdainfully. "That's true. Where are you from? Why are you so capable?""I'm from Gilsbury. But I wasn't always there. I lived there until I was eight. I came back last year," Lana said directly. Romelius' heart skipped a beat, and his entire body was trembling. The hope he felt scared him. He didn't want to be disappointed. "Rom, why are you trembling?" Lana felt Romelius' forehead with her palm. Then, she muttered, "It doesn't seem to be a fever."Afterward, she grabbed hi

After the series of twists and turns, the banquet finally began. Everyone started to eat and chat. The Quinns were all very outstanding people. Among them were a scientist, a famous actress, a president and a genius like Rosa. Even Rachel, who married into the family, was a successful businesswoman. Their talks were bound to be related to their professions. Rosa lost the Math Olympiad to Lana and had to call her Queen Lana as per the bet. She feared it would be awkward to meet Lana at the banquet. So, she was adamant to stay in her room and ate there. Mandy wasn't a biological daughter of the Quinns. She had also been away from home for decades. None of the Quinns would be impressed by her achievements, no matter how successful she was. The main topic of discussion revolved around Rachel. "Rach, It's only been a few days since I saw you. Why does it feel like your skin is so much better?"Rachel was busy with work, and she had to raise her kids. Her skin had been in poor c

Would Lana forgive him and spend the rest of her life with him?Liam's heart was filled with a sense of anticipation.Since the reason for the incident had been clarified, everyone let out a sigh of relief at the same time and also went back to rest. Even Leonardo was taken away just to give the two people who had been apart for a long time some space to be alone.After everyone had left, Liam straightened out his clothes and approached Lana, then proceeded to slowly crouch down."Lana!"In the man's deep and sexy voice, there was an unusual tremor and a hint of choked emotion.Liam had no idea what kept him going during these years after losing Lana.Liam didn't dare to do anything too bold. Instead, he gently leaned his handsome face against Lana's hand, repeatedly calling her name.Three years had already passed since Lana left in a fit of anger, setting off a series of events afterward.If she still had any resentment, it would have vanished when she saw Liam's tall figu

Liam's outstretched hand awkwardly hung in the air, and eventually, he could only withdraw it."Speak up if you have something to say, or else, stay quiet. We're not in the mood to listen to you." Hector's attitude toward Liam was still unfavorable, to the extent that he didn't even want to see him.Lana suddenly said, "Something very serious actually happened today."Following that, she placed Leonardo down and showed everyone the wound on his neck.A ring of red marks surrounded Leonardo's delicate neck. In some places, the marks were so swollen that it looked like a tire had been wrapped around his neck. It was a shocking sight to behold.Hector, Violet, Mandy, and Romelius were immediately enraged."What happened to Leo?""What happened to his neck? It could have been fatal if it was any worse.""Who was responsible for watching Leo today? How could they be so negligent and let the child get injured so badly?""This doesn't look like any ordinary wound. It looks like it wa

"Stop looking at me like that. If you want to kill or torture me, go ahead." Cynthia knew what would happen to her after the truth came out, so she gave up struggling. "However, even after my death, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life!"As they listened to her absurd threat, Lana and the Traffic Light Trio burst into laughter."If ghosts were real, then Emilia would be the first to look for you."When her deceased sister was mentioned, Cynthia's smile remained unchanged. "That fool probably never knew it was me who betrayed her until her death."Considering the situation, Cynthia didn't believe she could leave the Garrison Villa tonight."What exactly do you gain by single-handedly destroying the Cooper family?"Lana was still very confused by Cynthia's actions.After all, Emilia and Cynthia were twins and had the same blood coursing through their veins. With all the Coopers gone, Cynthia had nothing to gain from it either!Cynthia sneered at Lana's question. "Lana, yo
Hot Shot Divorce Chapter 637 She Is Back
On the evening of the banquet, the Garrison Villa was bustling with distinguished guests.Initially, everyone's attention was on the precious great-grandson of the Garrison and Kane family. With his confident and lively demeanor, the chubby child was absolutely adorable. Everyone was naturally curious about who the child might have chosen as his stepmother.It should be noted that the Garrison and Kane family only had one great-grandson. His future was destined to be extraordinary. As long as one could control the child, it was much more worthwhile than dealing with those individuals from the two affluent families.After all, the elders from the two families were very attentive and doting toward this child. Surprisingly, Liam, who was said to have been away from home for a long time, had returned. During the reception of guests, he unexpectedly had a smile on his face.The ladies who had come tonight, vying for the position of Liam's wife, became even more excited.Liam typi

On the night before the banquet, Romelius and Mandy finally brought Leonardo back.Lana was overjoyed, and she immediately went to the bungalow where they were staying.At that time, Leonardo had just returned home and was playing with toys on the living room floor."Leo, you're back! Did you miss Mommy? Mommy missed you so much!"Lana ran toward Leonardo, talking to him while reaching out to hug him. In a flash, Leonardo suddenly ran toward Romelius while holding a toy car.After that, he kept hiding in his arms, refusing to come out. He would occasionally peek out from the gaps to glance at Lana.His actions clearly showed that he refused to accept Lana.Lana's enthusiasm was dampened, and her outstretched arms awkwardly remained in midair. She looked at Romelius and then at Mandy as if waiting for them to persuade Leonardo. However, these two remained silent and only greeted Lana in a casual manner."Oh, Lana, you've come?" Mandy said while presenting her with a basket o
Hot Shot Divorce Chapter 635 Caution

All of them were busy scurrying around and helping Hector deliver the invitations.In addition to people who had business dealings with the Garrison family, the invitations were naturally sent to people who were familiar with Lana in the past. Therefore, as soon as the Traffic Light Trio received the invitation, they didn't even go to work and immediately ran to Liam's office—intending to get an explanation from him.At that time, Liam had just finished a phone call from overseas and was deep in thought when the office door was suddenly kicked open.Lincoln stood at the door, looking

Hot Shot Divorce Chapter 633 Targeting Lana
Liam sensed a challenging undertone in Lana's stare. After all this time, had they truly become adversaries?Releasing Lana abruptly, Violet gently patted her arm, her eyes filled with profound hurt."You're here, alive and well. Why did you leave us in the shadows? Even if you chose not to contact anyone else, you should've considered reaching out to me. Do you have any idea how much I missed you?"Over the years, Violet had been grappling with a deep sense of loss.Though it remained an unspoken sentiment among them, Violet was aware of the underlying blame directed toward Liam for what was believed to be Lana's demise.Had Liam been more emotionally available, their relationship wouldn't have crumbled. It would've stopped Lana from seeking refuge overseas while carrying their child, an act that set the stage for her heartbreaking destiny.Witnessing Liam's anguish and believing Lana to be lost forever had taken a severe toll on Violet's health, aging her considerably."Gr

Liam guided Leo to Lana's room.As they entered, Lana was already awake, bathed in the serene morning light streaming through the window.Upon hearing their arrival, Lana, while brushing her hair, shifted her gaze toward them—a familiar scene echoing times gone by."Good morning, Liam and Leo!" she greeted them effortlessly.Without hesitation, Leonardo squirmed out of Liam's embrace and darted toward Lana, exclaiming, "Hi, Nana!"Lana paused, momentarily surprised by Leonardo's nickname. "Leo, you should be calling me 'Mommy'!" she gently corrected him.Leonardo hesitated momentarily before redirecting his attention to Liam.Even though Liam hadn't exchanged a single word with Lana, he spoke up when Leo glanced his way, firmly stating, "Feel free to do as you wish. There's no need to seek my approval. Alright?"Leonardo nodded obediently and turned his gaze back to Lana, continuing to address her as "Nana."While Lana appeared somewhat displeased by this unexpected turn of ev
