"Why did you throw it?" Lana ran over to pick up what Liam flung aside. "No matter what, it's a gift from Grandma!" she berated. Violet was doing everything possible to have a great-grandchild as soon as possible. She actually gifted something like this to the couple! How did she even get her hands on the lingerie anyway?Speaking of this, Lincoln had something to get off his chest! The 30-year-old man was thoroughly embarrassed just to buy this thing. Still, what was important now was whether the recipient was willing to use it.Lana picked up the lingerie set and looked at it from every angle, intrigued. "I have to say, it's a pretty color.""Are you going to wear it, then?"It was Lana's turn to feel embarrassed when she heard those words. She was so startled that her hands shook, and she dropped the colorful lingerie set.It was true that she had followed her heart when she decided to date Liam. However, she didn't think she would be giving herself to him so quickly.
When John woke up and saw Lana, his heart immediately sank.He was too foolish. To be fair, there had been clues that Lana was his former aunt-in-law. He had just let love cloud his judgment and never realized it.The first time he could've realized it was when Liam showed up when he delivered the package to Lana. Next was at his birthday party when Liam, who usually kept a low profile, kissed Lana in public. He should've known!His uncle would never try to steal his woman, so John thought the kiss was purely for the game. In the end, he was the one who was stealing Liam's woman. How ironic!"John, are you feeling any better?" Lana crouched in front of him with her hand on his wrist. She seemed to be checking his pulse.John didn't know how to face Lana. He turned away and said coldly, "Thank you for inviting me here to tell me this shocking news."Lana fell silent.She didn't specifically bring John here to shock him. All she wanted was to discuss a collaboration with him.
Lana never expected to meet her idol, Xander, in such an awkward situation. She also never imagined that he would come to her aid. She was so surprised that she just stood there, grinning like a fool. Setting aside everything else, Xander was the only man Lana had ever liked in her life. Apart from Liam, of course.Xander was also one of the guests at tonight's charity gala. He was known for being dedicated to his work, as well as generous with his fans and subordinates. He also had an impeccable reputation in the entertainment industry. No scandal had ever followed him.If that was all there was to him, he wouldn't be worth Lana's affection. After all, there were many stars in the entertainment industry who were equally successful.What made Xander special was that, despite being a top actor, he was still devoted to helping various disadvantaged groups. For this purpose, he even built a retirement home for lonely and elderly folks to enjoy their later years. His kindness ex
Whether it was because they had a pleasant conversation or to appease Mandy, Xander chose to sit with Mandy and Lana during the charity gala.Tonight's charity gala was one of the most iconic events in Dawsbury City every year. It gathered numerous celebrities, wealthy individuals, and socialites.The charity auction held during the evening was the highlight of the event. Each guest would contribute a cherished item to be auctioned off, raising funds for those in need.Mandy hadn't been back to her home country for a long time, and this evening marked her first public appearance since her return. Many friends from the industry came to greet her. She was also busy catching up with various acquaintances.Xander had a more laid-back attitude. In reality, he was a bit shy, waiting for others to approach him and start a conversation. In the meantime, he remained relaxed. Lana, who was sitting next to him, was too intimidated to even breathe. She kept discreetly observing her idol up
Mandy was having a pleasant conversation with the renowned director, Oscar Wagner. Both of them were hoping to collaborate with each other, but they lacked the opportunity. Today, they finally crossed paths. So, it was only natural for them to have a good conversation and try to secure a collaboration.When Lana brought Romelius over, she happened to see Mandy almost resting her head on Oscar's shoulder with a smile. She also noticed that Romelius' usually gentle expression suddenly turned inscrutable. Even his gaze grew colder. Seeing Oscar holding Mandy's hand, Romelius seemed to wish he could just chop it off right there.This was not normal!Romelius' reaction wasn't what you'd expect from a brother toward his sister. Moreover, his puzzling demeanor whenever he saw Mandy was baffling. Did these two share some undisclosed secrets?However, Lana wasn't one to pry into other people's personal affairs. She didn't want to get involved in other people's business. Instead, s
The other party was an internationally renowned scientist. Carol and Chris wouldn't be so tactless as to snatch something Romelius' beloved daughter liked.Carol and Chris smiled at each other. "Rosa, you're overthinking. We won't take something that someone else loves."Only then did Rosa sigh in relief.Tonight, she absolutely must win. Since arriving, she had already contacted those interested in bidding for these jewelry pieces. She had asked them not to compete with her, and they dared not challenge her.After the host's lengthy introduction, they finally entered the highly anticipated auction event. Initially, the items auctioned were of little interest and were sold at very low prices. Mandy won the bid for a calligraphy and painting set. For her auction, she had donated a luxurious costume she wore in her first drama series. Such used clothing was typically of little value and would remain in the exhibition hall. After all, most people wouldn't touch such items.But
After introducing the three jewelry pieces, the host's excitement grew. "Now, please prepare yourselves as we begin the auction with the first item, Princess Elowen's diamond tiara. Let's welcome our auctioneer."To ensure fairness, each new item in this auction would be presented by a different auctioneer. "Hello, everyone. I'm the auctioneer for tonight's diamond tiara, Chandler. Let's begin our auction. Please pay attention. The bidding starts at three million dollars." "Ten million!""12 million!"As soon as Chandler finished speaking, the voices of the bidders below began to increase the bid.Rosa was growing increasingly anxious. Why were these people so clueless? She clearly said that she wanted Princess Elowen's jewelry set. How could they still dare to bid?She grabbed Romelius's arm and nervously urged, "Dad, hurry up! Don't be so slow with everything. At this rate, someone else will take the diamond tiara." Romelius then raised his auction paddle, saying, "15 mill
"What's going on with this woman? Why is everyone acting like they're under a spell, rushing to give her things?""I don't think she even knows this man. Otherwise, her expression wouldn't be the same as ours!""Regardless, I envy her. Isn't she winning in life?"Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, the man in the black and white checkered suit brought the bracelets to Lana."Miss Lana, don't be nervous," he said gently. "Mr. Liam had ordered me to do this. He said that tonight, no matter what, he must win this bracelet and give it to you!""Liam?" Lana's heart finally found some peace. After receiving the bracelets, she muttered softly, "How did he know I liked these things?"Mandy smiled and said, "I'm glad I didn't continue to compete with Liam. Otherwise, he would probably despise me now."Mandy knew that Lana liked the bracelets. She felt a bit sad earlier, thinking she couldn't win the bracelets for her. Mandy never thought that Liam would be so generous to secure the
