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
Lana sneered, her eyes filled with contempt. "Are you the one in charge here?"Someone naturally stepped forward to defend Jennifer. The employee, Denise, immediately walked up to Lana."You'd better not make a scene here. If you offend Ms. Clark, you'll be in big trouble," she boasted. Lana was amazed that the employee actually threatened her. She pretended to be scared, trembling as she asked, "W-what do you want to do to us?"Jennifer thought she had gained the upper hand. So, she felt even more confident in front of her friends. "As long as you get on your knees and beg for forgiveness, I'll forget all about this."Jennifer had done this kind of thing before, so Denise didn't even bat an eye. She even added, "If you don't do it, we won't let you leave in peace."It was rumored that Jennifer's sister, Carol, was Liam's lover.Liam was such a powerful man in Gilsbury. He had so much power one move from him could have a major impact on the entire country!Denise was attract
"Ms. York! I was just upholding the standards of our spa! People like them don't deserve to be here!" Denise stepped forward to defend herself.If she was fired just like that, it would be too unfair.Daphne sneered, "Why wasn't I aware that my place judged people based on their spending? This is my spa. Who gave you the right to make decisions?"Denise's face paled. "But I—"Jennifer pushed Denise aside. "Ms. York, why are you getting angry at your employee over a mere outsider?" she asked. "Denise just acted accordingly to protect your spa's reputation!"Daphne looked at Jennifer with disdain and sneered, "Who said Lana is an outsider? She's my business partner. To be precise, she's the co-owner!"Lana smiled faintly. "No, to be more precise, the co-owner is Nadia."After all, Lana's 40% shares were all under Nadia's name."What?" Jennifer was taken aback."Ms. York, could you be mistaken? This is the good-for-nothing Lana we're talking about!"Daphne smiled as she stood
Lana brought Nadia to a bustling vegan pasta restaurant.The restaurant was lively since it was peak mealtime. Every table in the three connected storefronts downstairs was occupied. The private rooms upstairs were nearly full as well. There was even a long queue of hungry patrons at the entrance. The name of the restaurant was also very interesting. It was simply called "Peter's Pasta".Lana led Nadia to a small table near the corner. As soon as the waiter came over, Lana ordered a few side dishes and two plates of pasta."I remember this place!" Nadia exclaimed after looking at the bustling scene before her. She added, "It was on TV last week, and some online media had also covered this place. I heard it's the best vegan restaurant in Zanteles!"Lana nodded with a faint smile.The restaurant had been doing well lately. So, Lana and the Waltons bought the two neighboring storefronts, including the upper floors. They connected all of them to create the current, more spacious
Lana thought Eric was just like other typical rich kids: incompetent and chubby. Yet, even then, countless girls would flock to his side just for his money.However, the Eric before her really surprised her.Eric's slightly long, wavy black hair was styled casually with wax, giving him an air of nobility. His features were sharp and defined, but his eyes were a stark contrast to them. His innocent-looking eyes, enhanced by long eyelashes, were offset by a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. It added a touch of mystery and sophistication.The pure white suit he wore made him stand out from the crowd. His tall and upright figure immediately caught the attention of countless girls.Standing next to him, Jennifer was wearing a pink evening gown with a large bowknot. She wore delicate nude makeup, giving off a pure and youthful air.Both of them standing together looked like a match made in heaven.In the corner, Lana held her champagne glass and raised an eyebrow.This was Eric, her targ
