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.

David could never have anticipated that he would one day find himself vulnerable to the whims of his son, Billy. A person he believed he had fully understood."Let's make a swift exit, Lana," Billy declared without hesitation. He grabbed Lana as they prepared to leave."We extended a helping hand, but not only did they fail to appreciate it, they insulted me as well. It's simply not worth it."Lana responded with prompt professionalism, "Certainly, Mr. Billy.""Don't go, Mr. Billy. David's just being immature. We'll ensure he apologizes to you.""David, why stand there? Hurry and apologize to Mr. Billy. Do you want our company to face bankruptcy?""David, remember, our company is in a severe crisis. And you carry a substantial responsibility. If you don't apologize today, even if it means removing you, we'll take you off the board of directors."Fury coursed through David as a fiery knot lodged itself in his chest, causing intense pain.Amidst the shareholders surrounding David
