Was Lana trying to stir up trouble?Even the Traffic Light Trio had advised her, "Boss, don't go. You'll just end up getting scolded. That won't be a good look on you.""I've heard dealing with people in the entertainment industry can be tough. Maybe we should avoid any issues," one of them suggested.Laura cautiously approached Lana and whispered, "Lana, I have a feeling these people are up to no good. Should I grab a broom and shoo them away?"Lana offered them a faint smile. She reassured them, "Maybe things aren't as bad as you think. Just watch me."They watched as Lana approached the luxurious limousine parked at the restaurant's entrance.The presence of the limousine had already attracted a lot of attention. A group of young girls had gathered there. They were holding support signs with encouraging messages for John.Lana wasn't very familiar with fan culture. She simply didn't want her business to be disrupted.She politely knocked on the car window. John's assistant r
As Billy and Lana entered, they narrowly avoided being splashed by a bucket of soapy water."Are you blind?" Billy exclaimed.The defiant maid, who had nearly splashed them, retorted, "Maybe you're the one who's blind. You're purposely coming over here when we're busy."From the maid's attitude, Billy's inferior position in this household was crystal clear. His status couldn't even compare to that of a mere servant.Just as Billy was about to retort, Lana immediately stopped him. "Why get all worked up over someone beneath you? It only brings you down," Lana said casually.At that moment, it clicked for Billy. Without even raising her voice, Lana had indirectly insulted the maid. Billy felt strangely gratified. The maid felt offended. Naturally, she wasn't going to let them off easily. She pointed at Lana and scoffed, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk nonsense here?"Lana sneered in disdain, "Who do you think you are? Do you believe everyone in this family has va
"Boss! Are you planning to push her to the brink of death?" Billy's voice trembled with anxiety as he emerged from David's house.Despite Stella's cruelty, Billy's enduring kindness toward her was astounding.Lana's eyes widened as she noticed the concern etched on Billy's face. "Of course! Just look at her attitude!" she exclaimed.Hearing her statement, Billy couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.He could hardly believe that his seemingly delicate and beautiful boss, who was also an excellent cook, could carry out something as ruthless as poisoning someone.Fortunately, Billy, Luke, and Kelvin hadn't provoked Lana back then. Who knew what kind of retaliation they might have faced?"You shouldn't worry about her. Didn't you mention your sick mother just now? We should visit her!" Lana urged, trying to divert his attention. Assuming she wanted a casual visit, Billy hesitated, his words stumbling out. "Boss, it's not necessary. My mother has been ill for years. I'm just wor
How awkward!It turned out Liam had overheard Lana's conversation with Billy earlier.Lana forced a smile, a hint of discomfort in her expression. "Mr. Liam, you're such a busy person. What brings you here today?"Liam remained silent.Luckily, he and Chris were present. Otherwise, how would he have known she was spreading rumors about his "death"?Liam's impassive face revealed his frustration.Feeling the tension, Lana acted wisely. If she lingered any longer, she might find herself in the hospital as well."If there's nothing else, Mr. Liam, I'll be on my way. I won't disturb you any longer," Lana said.Chris snorted, "Consider yourself lucky I'm letting you off easy. Otherwise, I'd call the police on you, you stalker."Normally, Lana would have fired back at Chris, but her safety was at stake now. She hurriedly left.Just then, Liam, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Wait."Lana abruptly stopped in her tracks, her movements rigid. She turned toward Liam, her
Seeing Lana's astonished expression, Liam felt confident he had made the right purchase.These pendants must conceal a secret. Why else would Lana be so eager to snatch them? She was normally so calm and composed. "It was a gift from someone else," Liam explained, his final act of stubbornness.Without a hint of doubt, Lana nodded and said, "Actually, now that I look at them, they don't seem that impressive."The difference between ancient and modern carving techniques was undeniably vast.What the ancients deemed exquisite might not be perceived the same way now.With a sigh of relief, Lana said, "Luckily, some fool bought them last time, or I would have faced a significant loss."The fool in question, Liam, remained silent.Despite her indifference, Liam was puzzled by Lana's earnest desire to snatch the pendants. So, he decided to test her."Do you want to take a closer look?" he asked, extending the pendants toward Lana.Without hesitation, Lana took the pendants, examin
Stella's eyes rolled back as she fainted on the spot.Enraged, David grabbed Billy and gave him a good beating. Nicole cried uncontrollably by the side, berating David for his lack of conscience.The room was in chaos. But instead of stopping it, Lana merely cleared her throat. She said, "Even the antidote can't save you if you can't regain your consciousness." Hearing this, Stella immediately jolted up and rushed to Lana's side. "Please, spare me! Give me the antidote. My children are still young; they can't live without their mother!""Sure, I can give it to you." Lana leaned leisurely against the door frame. She glanced over at Billy and Nicole as she continued, "But have you done the things I told you to do yesterday?"Stella asked in tears, "What did you ask me to do?"It was only then that she remembered. Lana had asked her to kneel and beg for forgiveness from Billy and Nicole.Ever since Stella had got together with David, she had always been arrogant and domineerin
Nicole did not look like she was joking at all. She held onto Lana's hand tightly, refusing to let go even when Lana's hand turned red.Billy stammered in shock, "Mom, let go. She's not Aunt Sasha. Aunt Sasha passed away many years ago."Lana explained patiently as she told Billy to step aside. "Auntie, please take a closer look. I'm not the person you mentioned. I'm Lana!"Her voice was calm and gentle with a soothing tone. Nicole quickly calmed down."I'm really sorry!" Tears streamed down Nicole's face. "For a second there, I really thought you were my younger sister. You look so much like her.""Please don't take it to heart, Boss. This is the first time I've seen my mom like this. She's not usually like this," Billy explained. He was worried that Lana might mistake his mother for being mentally ill."Don't worry, Billy. I understand," Lana replied.After comforting Nicole, Lana called for the doctors and nurses to conduct a thorough examination.Billy accompanied Nicole
The news of Lana's participation in the Chef King Championship somehow reached Carol's ears."I wonder who gave that country bumpkin the courage to attend the competition? I bet she's never even eaten bread rolls before!" Jennifer scoffed. She couldn't help but burst into laughter. Sarah snorted coldly. "You'd better stop mocking her. That so-called country bumpkin managed to snatch Eric away. What have you been doing then?""Mom …" Jennifer was exasperated but had nothing to say.Eric had moved on from Jennifer recently. Rumor had it that she had been bothering him so much that he had issued a statement declaring himself single. He had completely cut ties with her.Now, she had become the laughingstock for all the women in Gilsbury."Don't call for me. Lana wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation if you were capable enough.""But he's not with Lana now. Doesn't that mean I still have a chance?"Jennifer's words rendered both Sarah and Carol speechless.
