"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
Lana took the nearest flight and arrived at the Southern Star Studios well into the late hours of the night. By the time she reached the hospital where Mandy was, it was already past three in the morning. The hospital had modest facilities, and Mandy lay in bed, semi-conscious. After removing her makeup, her complexion looked unnaturally pale. She appeared extremely frail.What surprised Lana was that Romelius had arrived even before her. "Lana, why are you here?" Romelius was both happy and surprised when he saw Lana."Isabelle called me and told me that Mandy had fainted, so I came," Lana explained.She found it rather strange that Romelius was there as well. "And you?"Romelius was quite straightforward in his response. "I saw it in the trending news."It turned out that Mandy had collapsed on set, and her fans had posted about it on Twitter, making it a trending topic. Mandy's fans were deeply concerned about her. Many of them wanted to go to the hospital to take care of
Watching Lana's innocent smile, Romelius couldn't bring himself to blame her. She probably didn't mean it that way."Lana, I just want to recover on my own. I don't want to be anyone's burden."Since learning about her illness, Mandy had never considered telling anyone. She was racing against time to find her child and take on as many roles as possible to create more memories for her fans. She wanted to leave all her legacy behind for her child, nothing more."Mandy, you haven't burdened anyone. It's me who has burdened you by insisting on taking care of you. I'm sorry."Mandy remained silent.Lana's words made her feel embarrassed."Lana, I suspect you're deliberately going against me to annoy me."Lana smiled mischievously. "Then you can think of it that way."After all, she already knew what illness Mandy had, and she had no intention of leaving her side.Romelius had already bought breakfast for Mandy. He quietly peeled a boiled egg for her before handing her a piece of
"To be honest, I always thought you and Liam would last because you were such a perfect match," Darla said. Darla knew she shouldn't try to prevent the breakup. But she believed that if Lana was gone, it would be a lifelong loss for Liam. So, even though it might be unseemly, Darla intended to address it for Liam's sake. "Lana, can you tell me what led to this point between you two?" Darla noticed that Lana wasn't eager to discuss this topic and quickly added, "I'm not here to persuade you to reconcile. I just saw how miserable Liam has been lately."She continued, "You know, we've depended on our grandmother since childhood. As the older sister, I can't stand to see my younger siblings suffer. So, I want to understand the reasons, but Liam doesn't want to talk to me about it."So, Liam was also suffering! Lana had believed that only she was hurting."He's sad too?" Lana's tone was icy. "Shouldn't he be with that pregnant woman?"Darla suddenly sensed the hint of jealousy i
After all, it was their family matter, and Lana didn't want to keep interfering. She gave Romelius a hopeful glance, wishing he would step in and ask Joyce to leave. It would avoid further trouble for Mandy.However, to Lana's surprise, Romelius kept his head down and didn't dare to say a word. She found it strange. After all, Romelius didn't seem like the type to fear his wife. But in front of Joyce, he appeared very timid. Lana couldn't help but feel that there was a sense of guilt in Romelius' eyes.Mandy seemed utterly dejected. She had no desire to speak. Lana sighed in resignation. She realized that the peace in a family often depended on how the man in the middle handled things. If the man were clever, it could work out. But with someone like Romelius, it was bound to lead to chaos.So, in this situation, Joyce managed to stay despite the others' reluctance. She claimed to be taking care of the ill Mandy, but she kept moving between different rooms. She was consta
