Now that Lana thought about it carefully, she realized that Xander had long since shown signs of being interested in her. She only didn't notice it back then because she was involved with Liam.Why would a good guy like Xander openly speak up for her on Twitter when she was entangled in controversies?After all, Xander used to be the type of person who refused to help by speaking up about an incident where the director sexually harassed his female co-stars on the same set.Lana's silence made Xander on the other end of the phone quite nervous."Lana, I know that I'm not perfect, but I will try to become perfect for you. How do you know whether we are compatible or not if we don't give it a try?"Lana only got quieter at those words.Xander had never done something so daring in his 32 years of life. Not wanting to regret his actions, he took a step back and began discussing with Lana."A dating reality show contacted me not long ago. You know I never appear in reality shows. Howe
It was Starlight Bar, the biggest bar in Gilsbury.Only the most prominent figures of Gilsbury came to this establishment.Of course, that was also due to the bar's excellent service. Whenever something happened to the big shots here, the bar's owner would have their backs. It was his loyalty that attracted even more people to spend their money here."You are here, Mr. Liam. Your private room is ready," the receptionist welcomed Liam as soon as he walked in.Due to Liam's striking appearance, he would attract too much attention when he sat in the common area. Even the manager couldn't stand it.To allow Liam to drink in peace, the bar had built a private room designated for him.The bar's hospitality was also why this was the only place Liam would go to when he wanted to drink.Because of the attentive and non-gossipy service, Liam was finally in a slightly better mood. He rarely expressed his gratitude, but he surprisingly uttered a "thank you" tonight.Compared to the brigh
After Carol left, Chris still had something he wanted to say to Liam. Even so, Liam coldly ended the video call. Ever since Chris decided to get engaged to Carol, Liam no longer viewed him as his friend. Anyone with common sense could tell what kind of woman Carol was.Chris, on the other hand, fell for her lies. After all, Carol had always wanted to marry Liam. But then, she swiftly got engaged to Chris instead. She was a schemer, and only Chris would cherish her like a treasure. Having a childhood friend like him made Liam feel ashamed.As he lay on the huge bed, Liam's mind was full of Lana. Only during moments like this would he admit that Lana was indispensable in his life. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a round object. It was a good luck charm. The fine patterns on the good luck charm had been gradually worn away over the years due to constant touch. This left it with a smooth and sleek surface. Liam closed his eyes and carefully stroked the good luck
Lana had once again begun to seclude herself in her office. Her presence was nowhere to be found for most of the day. Nobody knew what she was up to. The last time she was this busy, she launched a custom-made perfume store. Now that she was at it again, many people were speculating if she was working on another major project.After all, Lana seemed capable of anything in everyone's eyes. Even if she were to build a satellite rocket, no one would be surprised. "Lana, we've got a problem!" The manager suddenly rushed in. As soon as Lana heard her voice, she started to have a headache. Whenever the manager stormed in shouting, it was never good news.As Lana expected, the manager said, "We have a very demanding customer in the spa. She has tried all the masseuses, and she's still not satisfied. Now she's insisting on your personal attention.""She's that arrogant?" Lana asked.The customers who come to her spa for services all come from prestigious backgrounds. They usually spo
"Are there really so many of them?" Rosa asked in disbelief. Lana nodded as she looked at Rosa's skeptical expression. "They all claim to be the girlfriends of the Garrison family heir." In other words, Rosa's attempt to show off had failed!However, even if it failed, it didn't mean she couldn't become the Garrison family heir's girlfriend for real. After all, her family background spoke for itself. She was confident the other customers couldn't match her aristocratic background. Lana finished the massage and promptly brought the POS machine. Rosa was totally irritated by Lana's action. "Lana, are you afraid I can't afford it?"Lana was straightforward and replied, "Yes!" She understood better than anyone else that there was indeed a difference between the presidential family and business families. To some extent, the presidential family didn't have the same financial freedom as the business families.Rosa was already filled with regret over the money she had spent that
Noticing Merida's unpleasant expression, Carol gently intervened, "Chris, how can you speak to your mom like that? She's the one who brought you into this world and raised you. That's not a way to treat her!"Chris once again felt Carol's kindness. "Carol, she's treating you this way, and you're still defending her?" he asked.Carol looked sad. She kept her head low, and her voice was slightly hoarse. "Chris, we should show gratitude when our loved ones are with us. I should have been a better daughter to my mom. Don't end up like me. Even if I wanted to be a good daughter, I no longer have the chance."Carol's words made it seem like Sarah had passed away instead of going to prison! Chris suddenly realized that he had unintentionally triggered Carol's sad memories. Thus, he immediately wrapped her in a tight embrace. "Carol, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to," he softly comforted her. Then, Chris affectionately planted a kiss on the top of her head. "I feel for you, especially
To put it kindly, Chris was being self-assured. However, to put it bluntly, he was being selfish.Andrew had never expected this. At the critical moment of Merida's life and death, their treasured youngest son still only cared about himself. "Are you really willing to let her die without trying to help?" Andrew, who had never said a harsh word to Chris, finally realized the gravity of the situation. He then added, "She's the one who gave birth to you and raised you!"Chris still held his head high with pride as he replied, "Dad, do you really want to see me kneel to someone like Lana?" "Someone like Lana?" Andrew couldn't help but scoff. "What kind of person is she? From what I've seen, Lana is much better than you. At least she can't stand by and let someone die. It was her who saved your mom's life.""Even if it's the case, so what?" Chris had a strong dislike for Lana. "She's still despicable. Making me kneel before someone like her is worse than death." Andrew finally
"Why?"Lana wanted to know why he would lower the price. She wasn't a fool. She had spent a long time developing this processor. If Liam's offered price was unreasonable, she wouldn't sell him this patented technology.Liam said bluntly, "You're rich!"Lana was speechless. So she should be taken advantage of just because she's rich?"Even if I have money, this is the result of my hard work, Liam. You shouldn't be so stingy!"Liam fell silent.This was rare. Liam had never heard someone call him stingy in all his life.Lana continued to tease him. "With this attitude, you'll definitely never find a wife in the future!""It's none of your business whether I get a wife or not!" Liam was a bit angry, and his tone became harsh. He added, "Or are you worried that you won't get married? So, you'd rather see me unable to find a wife.""What?" Lana didn"t expect Liam to not only be stingy but also speak so harshly. She quickly struck a seductive pose and said, "Do you think I wou
