Just as Dylan finished speaking, he suddenly felt the world spin. The next thing he knew, he was on the floor. Everything had happened so quickly that no one had been able to react. Lana wiped her hand on Dylan in disdain. She said in a cold voice, "Don't embarrass yourself like that, weakling." The onlookers burst out into applause. "That was so satisfying!""It serves them right! They were so arrogant just because they were rich.""That pretty lady is too strong! She's my idol from now on! Please allow me to worship you!"The onlookers had seen Lana perform a clean shoulder throw with their own eyes. They had seen how she'd thrown Dylan on the ground. Her movements had been quick and seamless. She was so cool! Lana bowed slightly at the onlookers and said, "I apologize for the commotion. That was an embarrassing display. These scumbags shouldn't have come to my restaurant."Then, she yelled in the direction of the restaurant, "Billy!" Billy quickly rushed out and as
"Why is my life so hard?" Darla held a bowl of clam chowder in her hand. She said sheepishly, "Grandma, please eat something. No matter how much you protest, it's too late to undo the divorce between Liam and Lana."Violet's head was bandaged. She looked very weak. But she said with a resonant voice, "I told you. I told you that Lana is not only pretty, but she is also a good woman. No one believed me."Violet had gone out with her friends yesterday. She had heard a lot of gossip and even looked at some pictures related to the gossip. That was where she'd seen Lana's true appearance. She was happy for Lana. Although Lana had always had makeup on when she had lived with the Kanes, Violet had always believed that Lana was a very beautiful woman. Now her suspicions were confirmed. Lana was indeed very beautiful. But she was no longer her granddaughter-in-law. Violet found that fact hard to accept. "Grandma, you made Liam and Lana marry, but they had no affection for each other.
Sarah and Zeke were talking when Nelson came in. "Mom, Dad. Mr. Holt is here. He's asking for you two!" They went downstairs immediately. A bald man was sitting on the couch in the living room downstairs. He seemed to be waiting impatiently for something. "Mr. Holt, you're here! Please wait for a bit. Nadia is almost home."Warren was a fat man. He only had a few strands of hair on his head, which he slicked to the top of his head. His smile revealed two golden front teeth. "Mr. Clark, how do I look? Do you think Nadia would like it?" Jennifer, who was peeping in a corner, almost threw up at the sight of Warren. Who did this old man think he was? Did he think he was great because he was rich? Was he out of his mind, trying to marry a young and pretty woman? But then again, Nadia wasn't in the best condition. They might be a good match for each other. "Mr. Holt, don't be too hard on yourself. Our Nadia isn't picky." Sarah courteously replied to Warren. She continued
Nadia felt much better after drinking the cool, refreshing juice. But the dizziness that followed caught her off guard.She stared at the cup in her hand, and her body began to shake uncontrollably. The juice had been drugged!Nadia hated herself for being so gullible. The Clarks had always mistreated her. It was impossible for them to change their attitudes overnight. Nadia glared at Jennifer. "I'm your aunt. Why are you treating me like this?" she asked. Jennifer smiled smugly. She snatched the cup from Nadia's hand and threw it to the ground. "Aunt Nadia, what are you talking about? I'm only doing this for your own good. Since you're crippled, you should be grateful to be able to marry someone like Mr. Holt."Nadia tried her best to cling to her last bit of consciousness. She gritted her teeth and said, "Just because I'm a cripple, you want me to marry an old geezer? Besides, which one of you saw that I was limping?"Only then did the Clarks realize that her walking was
Lana held up her phone, her expression grim. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Where is she?"Sarah knew she couldn't keep hiding the truth, so she pretended to have forgotten about the phone. "Oh, Nadia left her phone here. Can you take it back to her?"As long as Lana didn't ruin Warren's plan, they still had ways to deal with her later.Zeke added, "You're no longer part of the Clark family, so please leave. You're not welcome here."He didn't believe that a proud woman like Lana would dare to stay any longer after his remarks. But not only did Lana stay, but she also suddenly rushed upstairs.Zeke screamed in panic, "Stop her!"Several Clark family bodyguards immediately showed up and surrounded Lana. To them, Lana was just a weak woman incapable of fighting back, so it would be easy to subdue her.However, within a minute, the bodyguards were lying on the floor, groaning in pain. Lana moved so quickly that it was hard to keep up, and her strength was so great that her p
"Very well, Zeke Clark. You leave me no way out."Upon hearing this, Zeke's face turned deathly pale.Could it be that Warren still had a trick up his sleeve?Warren sneered, "You're willing to sell your sister to me when you deem me useful. But once something goes wrong, you want to get rid of me. Am I just a tool to you?"Warren's eyes gleamed with malice as he held up his phone. "What's in here is—"Suddenly, a loud thud echoed in the room.A flower vase hit Warren on the head, knocking him unconscious. He didn't have a chance to finish his sentence. Carol was panting heavily, her face paled with fear. "Mr. Liam doesn't want to hear nonsense from someone like you! Dad, call the police and have him arrested! We can't let Aunt Nadia suffer any injustice."Both Zeke and Sarah were frightened by Carol's unexpected behavior.The sinister expression on Carol's face earlier wasn't just an act for Liam. It seemed so real, almost as if that was who she truly was. "Mr. Liam, Lan
In the end, Warren was arrested on charges of attempted rape. Coincidentally, he suffered a stroke before he was arrested. But with the Clarks' testimony, the police proceeded with the arrest.Although Warren was arrested, the Clarks remained scot-free. It left Lana and Nadia greatly dissatisfied. After all, the Clarks were the mastermind behind the whole incident. Fortunately, Warren didn't manage to carry out his plan due to his old age. He was only able to move about with the help of alcohol.In the end, Lana's timely interruption saved Nadia from further danger.Due to this incident, Nadia had been feeling down for a while.Lana was worried that it would worsen her emotional state. So, she took her out for a change of scenery.Nadia hadn't gone shopping in a long time.After Vesper's passing, her life took a turn for the worse under Zeke and Sarah's oppression. She could barely afford to eat, let alone shop. Now that Nadia's leg had almost healed, it was time to heal he
In the retail industry, sales performance and income were directly correlated. To go from a trainee to a full-time employee, they need to meet a certain level of sales performance.The trainee shop assistant had been working for two months. She had endured workplace bullying from other senior employees and had yet to make a single sale.Today, a customer finally asked for her assistance. She was so happy that there was no way she would refuse it."Hello, miss. How may I help you?"Lana pointed to the dress in the display window that Nadia liked. "Please wrap up that dress for me," she said. The trainee gave her a professional smile. "This was designed by a famous Cansernian designer. It is the most valuable item in our store. There is only one in the whole country," she explained. Then, she asked, "It is priced at 680 thousand dollars. Is that alright with you?"They were stunned by the cost of the dress. But, upon realizing who the designer was, they thought the price was qui
