Carol felt that if she didn't bring up the matter of meeting Devon now, she might not have another chance in the future. So, without hesitation, she immediately asked Rosa, "Rosa, Mr. Turner wants to meet the president, do you think ..."However, before Carol could finish her sentence, Rosa interrupted her. "Carol, I never get involved in my uncle's affairs. I'm sorry!"This was what Rosa was like. Although she enjoyed flaunting her superiority over others, she wouldn't go out of her way to do favors for others. That was why, over the years, many people surrounded her, but few would maintain a lasting friendship with her."Alright then."Initially, Carol had intended to get up and leave, no longer wasting words with Rosa. However, thinking that she might still be able to use Rosa's status for her own purposes, she stayed for another half an hour before finally leaving.Carol didn't expect Rosa's refusal to be so thorough. She felt like she had wasted her enthusiasm during this per
Zeke certainly knew that Carol had always wanted him to get Sarah out. But he had been under Sarah's control for over 20 years, and he had only recently tasted the sweetness of freedom. How could he possibly let that old tigress out?This was also the reason Lana wasn't worried about Sarah being released anytime soon. With Zeke around, Sarah probably wouldn't get out of prison in this lifetime."Carol, dear, I'll listen to anything you say!" Zeke replied, but whether he would actually do so was hard to say.Carol nodded and added, "Once things settle down on my end, I'll bring my brother over. When Jennifer and Mom return, our family will be reunited. By then, we won't be dealing with lowly families anymore. We'll be a well-known family in the country."Carol became more and more excited, as if she had already achieved great things for her family....Finally, the day for Mandy's bone marrow transplant had arrived.As a doctor, Lana knew that before undergoing transplantation, M
Despite Nadia's seemingly gentle and calm appearance, she had a rather bold personality—especially after encountering Lana. Lana had taught Nadia how to be strong. So, when Nadia hung out with friends or classmates at amusement parks, everyone thought she would choose something like a carousel. But she always started with big swings or roller coasters.When Howard went to the amusement park with her, there were several times when he almost had a heart attack from being scared. So, tonight, when Nadia chose a horror movie, Howard was mentally prepared.Maybe it was the case of a tipsy mind not being focused on the bar. When the female lead in the movie finished washing her hair and was sitting in front of the dressing table, the ghost suddenly appeared behind her, hugging her waist. The screams in the cinema almost lifted the roof.Nadia was no exception. She turned her head in fright and naturally leaned toward Howard. Everyone was scared, even someone like Nadia. So, how was Howa
Speaking like this felt much better, didn't it? Since they didn't like each other, there was no need to act nice around each other."Are you a ghost?" Lana rolled her eyes. It really wasn't her day today. "Why do I keep running into you everywhere?"Lana now felt that she had an ill connection with Carol. Otherwise, how could their lives be so entangled?"That should be my line, right?" With only the two of them present, Carol spoke without reservation. "No matter how you struggle, you can never become part of the Quinn family. I suggest you stop wasting your efforts.""Who said I wanted to become part of the Quinn family?"Lana was puzzled. Why did everyone seem to think she wanted to join the Quinn family for personal gain? She was more afraid of the Quinn family taking advantage of her!"Even if you don't say it, everyone knows it!" Carol looked at her disdainfully. "No matter how good you act, your petty tricks can't fool anyone.""Alright, say whatever you want. Just go, do
Again, Lana?Every time at Carol's most critical moment, that bitch Lana always managed to ruin all her plans! When Devon saw Lana come up to the stage, he looked at her in confusion. "Lana, how did you end up here?" Lana smiled at him and said, "I'm here to receive recognition!" Devon's gaze at her became more and more perplexed. "You're here to receive recognition? Are you ..."Before Lana could answer, Carol immediately stood up. "Lana, can't you be more sensible?"Carol sternly said, "I know you and President Devon have some personal grievances, but you can't come here to cause trouble while he's working." Carol directly charged Lana with an accusation, attempting to take the moral high ground and get everyone to criticize her together. "Lana? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere." "Isn't she the illegitimate daughter of Mandy and Romelius? This matter caused such a big stir a while ago. Don't you know?""In other words, isn't Lana also the president's niece?"
People who were aware immediately recognized that the person Lana video-called was Yves.Speaking of Yves, his other identity as a food critic was more widely known. Many have forgotten that his main job was as the president of the nation's bank, giving him significant influence in the financial industry.Lana and Yves got acquainted through the culinary program, "Chef King Championship", where Yves was the only judge who didn't give Lana a hard time. Since then, they maintained contact and became friends despite the age difference.As Lana shifted the camera away from Devon, Yves, as if finally catching his breath, whispered to her, "Honestly, what kind of name did you choose? People always laugh when they hear it. From now on, you better handle it yourself."Lana was speechless.She also acted impulsively when choosing that funny name. This was the reason behind the mystery of "IWantToGetRich". Lana felt embarrassed whenever that name came up. She was afraid that people might
Ever since John fainted after learning that Lana was his former aunt and was sent back by Karl, they had never contacted each other.Except for the time when Lana was cyberbullied, John went all out to defend her. Lana had actually been wanting to find an opportunity to thank him, but she never found the chance.She never expected John to show up on her doorstep."I've thought it through. So what if you were my uncle's wife?" John took a long time to convince himself to accept this reality. "As long as you are still you, I don't mind.""But I do mind!" Lana was very straightforward, not giving John any chance to harbor inappropriate thoughts. "I'll most likely still be your uncle's wife."John fell silent.Gosh, did she mean that he would never stand a chance in this lifetime?"Alright, then," John said as tears welled up in his eyes, looking quite pitiful. Lana couldn't bear to see it. "I'm not as good a person as you think. Please don't be sad."John sniffled. "That's right
When Lana finished cooking and called Nadia out of her room to eat, Liam's expression remained grim. His entire expression screamed dissatisfaction.After interrupting Liam and Lana's moment, Nadia was too scared to even greet him. She quickly finished her meal and retreated to her room. Lana couldn't help but laugh at Liam's behavior.After the meal, Liam took the initiative to wash the dishes, politely insisting that Lana go ahead and take a shower. Liam's questionable intentions were too easy to read. Despite knowing this, Lana obediently went to take a shower.When Lana finished her shower, Liam had already taken a quick shower in the shared bathroom and was already lying on the bed in a poised manner, eagerly awaiting Lana.Pretending not to understand his intentions, Lana walked to the bed and gave Liam a little kick with her foot. "Go, move over a bit."With a swift move, Liam grabbed Lana's leg and pulled her toward him. "Little temptress, are you doing this on purpose?"
