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?"
In the end, Liam drove Lana to the Turner Residence, albeit a little reluctantly. Truthfully, he had not met or spoken to Chris in a long time. Ever since Chris had started seeing Carol, he seemed to have lost all sense and reason. He would constantly get these strange ideas about how everyone was trying to hurt or sabotage Carol. Liam had never had much affinity for Carol, to begin with. When Chris started behaving that way, he had no choice but to distance himself from Chris as well. By the time Liam and Lana reached the Turner Residence, Andrew was waiting eagerly by the front door for them. As soon as the pair got out of the car, Andrew hurried toward them with a wobbly step. "Dr. Lana, you're finally here!" Lana quickly supported him. "Grandpa Andrew, why were you standing out here in the dark? Let's head inside. You might catch a cold out here." Chris had arrived there as well. He and Andrew sensed that there were no feelings of resentment in Lana's words. Instead
Lana had no idea the men of the Turner family were such crybabies. She let out a weary sigh. "Can both of you stop crying and listen to what I have to say first?" Chris and Andrew quickly wiped off their tears. Chris asked respectfully, "Lana, is there no more hope for my mom's recovery?" "I never said anything like that!" Lana could hardly believe her ears. Chris just kept saying things that sounded as though he did not wish to see Merida get well. "What I mean is that Mrs. Turner Senior has been suffering from malnutrition for quite some time. Coupled with the other injuries, it will take a longer time for her to achieve full recovery." Andrew breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lana's explanation. "In that case, you should stay at our place. It will be more convenient for you to conduct my wife's treatment that way, Lana. It's going to be a hassle for you to commute daily since the Turner Residence is located a bit too far away." Andrew had a point. Lana would
"Mr. Howard, you must be someone very important to Nadia since she introduced me to you on our first date." Jeff noticed Howard had remained silent without eating anything. He wanted to leave a good impression on Nadia's family and friends, so Jeff tried to initiate a conversation with Howard. Nadia did not expect Jeff would take the initiative first. She looked at Howard nervously and waited for his response. For a moment, Howard was at a loss for words since he did not expect Jeff to speak to him first as well. While Nadia thought Howard would just ignore Jeff, she heard Howard's voice at that moment."I'm a doctor. Nadia was one of my patients." Jeff was very considerate as he did not try to pry about Nadia's illness. Instead, he replied chirpily, "So, you're a doctor, Mr. Howard? That's amazing! One of my childhood dreams was to become a doctor." "I see." Even Jeff who was a chatty and easygoing person felt a little flustered upon hearing Howard's curt reply. Nadia
Not long after Hector left, Liam received Emilia's call. "Liam, you must be feeling quite troubled today because of all the talks about our meeting yesterday."Emilia sounded very calm and sincere on the phone. Liam could not detect any hint of pretentiousness in her voice. "I was a bit careless this time. Since a lot of people in Dawsbury know me, I should have paid more attention to things like this when meeting you. I'm sorry, Liam. This was all my fault." Liam was not expecting to receive such an earnest apology from Emilia. "It's alright. It's not your fault that this has happened." Emilia gave a soft chuckle. "I'll try to clarify things to the others. I hope you won't feel too intimidated to have another meal with me." "Things like these don't bother me." "Well, I'll hang up now. Let's meet and talk some other time." Emilia got straight to the point and ended the call very soon. This was something that Liam quite liked about the lady in particular. In a way, Em
