Given who Hector was, there was no way they could just ignore him like that.Blushing, Lana covered her face and stomped. "Liam, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm going to kill you."Liam didn't know what to say. He had tried to speak up, but he never had the chance. After all, Lana had been chewing on his lips, so how could he explain?"Don't be angry, Lana!" Hector's muffled voice came from under the blanket again. "You can kill him if you want. Just do it quickly."Lana blushed furiously. She felt like she was about to melt into a hot puddle of embarrassment. Amused by her reaction, Liam took her hand. "Let's go back to our room.""Yes!" Although Hector was under the blanket, he couldn't stop himself from blurting. "You two, go back and do whatever you need to do in your room. Don't worry about it. The walls are very much soundproofed."Was Hector helping her? Why did she feel like he was making things worse?Embarrassed, Lana knew she couldn't stay at the Garrisons tha
When the person turned around, Lana was shocked. "Howard, what are you doing here?"Usually, Howard would be dressed neatly and well-composed. However, his clothes were disheveled that day, and even his hair was a mess. He was also wearing an unpleasant expression. Without answering Lana's question, he headed straight to the elevator and left without a word.Lana found it strange. Howard and Nadia were very close, but Nadia wouldn't allow a man to stay overnight, especially when she wasn't at home."Oh no, something's wrong!" Thinking that something was off, Lana quickly ran into the house. Nadia's door was still closed, and everything in the living room seemed normal. There were no signs of trouble.Lana knocked on Nadia's door. "Nadia, are you home?" Lana didn't get a response, so she had no idea if Nadia was home. When Lana tried to open Nadia's door with a spare key, only then did the door finally open."You're home?" Lana asked.Although Nadia didn't seem very ha
After teaching Howard a lesson, Lana rushed back home. When she found Nadia still sleeping, she finally relaxed. As she was preparing something for Nadia to eat when she woke up, she received a call from the apartment's management saying there was a delivery for her, urging her to quickly go downstairs.Although the apartment Lana lived in wasn't huge, it was a premium one. Hence, deliveries were usually brought directly to their door. However, they had asked her to collect it herself. What on earth was going on?Lana went downstairs immediately, planning to give the management a piece of her mind. However, when she reached the lobby, she decided against it.The manager looked distressed and had tears in his eyes when he saw Lana. "Ms. Clark, you've finally come."Despite being barely alive, Gizmo could accurately spit at the manager while lying on the ground. The sight shocked Lana. "Is this for me?" she asked. Only then did Lana recall that Hector had given it to her.
"Which country do you want to go to?" Lana asked.Nadia thought for a moment before answering, "I want to visit the Nordanic countries first. I've always longed for the climate there. It's so cozy in the winter. Snow falling outside, everyone sitting around the fireplace, drinking coffee, and chatting.""Ah, you're making me want to go there too," Lana said.Nadia smiled in relief. "Lana, I promise, after this trip, I'll show you a completely new me—someone you won't have to worry about anymore."Lana nodded. "I believe in you."After Lana purchased Nadia's tickets, she contacted acquaintances in the Nordanic countries and asked them to take care of Nadia. Meanwhile, Nadia made an appointment with Jeff in the middle of the night.Since her last unpleasant encounter with Howard, Nadia hadn't contacted Jeff. Now that she had suddenly reached out to him, Jeff was delighted. He even took the time to dress up before meeting her.Although Nadia was still as gentle and tender as al
"Well, that young man Sawyer isn't too ugly, and my daughter is an exceptional beauty, so it can't be helped that my grandson is totally adorable," Hector said.In his eyes, every family member was the best. He was quite protective in that way.Danny listened, getting goosebumps. He wondered how self-centered Hector could be that he took his compliments seriously.After a short conversation, Danny finally brought up another topic."When I came in just now, I ran into your precious grandson. Still as outstanding as ever."Hector's smile became even wider. "That brat is indeed outstanding. Well, of course. After all, he's my precious grandson."Danny was dumbfounded. How was he supposed to continue the conversation if Hector was responding in such a manner? But Danny had no choice but to compliment Liam even more before he got to the main point."I just wanted to ask, what are your thoughts on Liam's marriage? He's not getting any younger."Hector rolled his eyes and suddenly
With Nadia having gone abroad, Lana returned to living alone. Liam suggested moving in with him, but Lana refused."Why?" Liam asked.With a determined look on her face, Lana said, "Well, I can't work properly with you here. I'm currently exploring a new field and preparing for my new job. Your presence here will only affect me.""A new field?" Liam asked. "Which field? Can you tell me?""Aerospace!" Lana pointedly stopped there. "I can only say this much. Unfortunately, revealing more would leak classified information."If anyone else said that, they would be accused of bragging, but Lana was different. Her areas of expertise were extensive and always very surprising. So Liam believed her.Lana wasn't lying. She had already started preparing information related to aerospace and laying the groundwork for the new field she was about to venture into.As Zanteles was a major player in aerospace, the recent announcement by the Aerospace Agency about exploring unknown realms of s

"Hey, what are you guys doing?""Breaking into someone's house?""If you don't leave, I'll call the police."Stella's incessant shouting echoed behind Lana and the others.While Lana and Billy tried to find David, Stella's constant yelling became intolerable.Eventually, Lana decided to address her directly, "Go ahead, call the police. Once they arrive, we'll see who they're putting the cuffs on—you or me. It's pretty obvious which way it's going to go!"Stella fell into a thoughtful silence.It was clear she knew she was wrong for taking over Billy's house!Lana's respect for Stella and David dwindled even further.Not only did they bring disaster upon themselves, but they also victimized innocent people.
