Lana became visibly upset.Who else could that voice belong to other than Emilia?As the saying goes, "Bad news travels faster than good news". This was probably what she was going through right now.Emilia couldn't wait to see her make a fool of herself, so she personally joined the scene as well.Emilia didn't expect to run into Lana. She had just come out to lunch with her business partners. However, as soon as she entered the establishment, she unexpectedly saw Lana arguing with someone."Lana, how have you been lately?"Emilia came over and pretended to be very familiar with Lana. She linked her arm around Lana's arm and said, "How could you be so careless? You actually ended up in that kind of situation!"Emilia's words undoubtedly helped the others confirm that Lana was the person in that video.Seeing that the young lady from the Watson family had indirectly confirmed that Lana was indeed the woman in the video, the two men who had come to chat with her laughed even mor
Everyone turned toward the direction of the sound and saw an elderly man with white hair, accompanied by a group of bodyguards, walking aggressively toward Lana."Lana, is she giving you a hard time? Let me know, and I'll get rid of her for you!"Hector, with a group of bodyguards, stood by Lana's side. He glared at Emilia as if he was going to tear her apart right there and then."Grandpa Hector!"Lana looked at Hector aggrievedly and said, "This woman and these two men have been saying all sorts of strange things to me, and they even offered me a thousand dollars to spend the night with them."Hector exclaimed in disbelief, "What! They actually dared to do that? Even the girl from the Watson family said that?"Emilia was perplexed by Hector's sudden appearance as she exclaimed, "Grandpa Hector! I … I was just speaking the truth.""Preposterous!"Hector sprayed Emilia's face with spittle as he roared, "How did the Watson family raise someone like you?" Lana took the opportun
Hector's heart sank even further when he heard her say that.He had initially said that to test Lana—to see if she was really over Liam.However, now Hector realized that it was all his own wishful thinking. Lana had already pulled herself out of the relationship, and only he and Liam were worrying over nothing."Alright, I understand." Hector gazed at Lana with a hint of reluctance."Take good care of yourself in the future, and remember to pay me a visit whenever you can."Lana politely nodded and said, "Will do, Grandpa Hector!"After seeing Lana off, Hector went to the company and took out his frustration on Liam. The employees at the Garrison Group were shaken by his outburst, but no one truly knew what had happened.They were used to seeing Hector dote on Liam.Even if he were seething with anger, he would still treat Liam with respect in the company. He would never do anything to humiliate him in front of the employees.However, Hector lost control of his anger today an
Before long, the annual charity week in Dawsbury commenced.The annual highlight of the charity week in Dawsbury was the participation of the Eight Affluent Families and the fashion statements of the heiresses from these families—which topped the trending topic list on the internet every year.Given the attention that the charity week had garnered in recent years, even those in the entertainment industry became interested in it. Therefore, in order to generate discourse and boost visibility, major entertainment companies have chosen to participate in the event—which led to the emergence of the impressive red carpet event.Moreover, the president had always personally attended the charity dinner during the annual charity week. Therefore, being able to attend the charity dinner had been seen as a sign of high status.Many people went to great lengths to secure an invitation to this dinner, turning Dawsbury's charity dinner into a competitive showcase of splendor.Emilia had alread
Although Emilia was reluctant, she still changed out of her dress and got ready to go back to the company.Just before leaving, she ran into Nadia, who was dressed to the nines, at the entrance.Nadia, dressed in an extravagant evening gown, arrived at the entrance with Ruth by her side. She casually greeted Emilia, "Oh, are you on your way to work?"Ruth, who was trailing behind Nadia, didn't even spare Emilia a glance. She even knelt down to fix the hems of Nadia's gown.This scene was absolutely heart-wrenching for Emilia.Throughout her years in the Watson family, she had always longed for Ruth's maternal love.Although the maternal love was within reach now, it didn't belong to Emilia.Seeing Emilia's pale complexion, Nadia still didn't spare her. "I'm heading off to the charity dinner now. Focus on your work, and don't bring shame to the Watson family."Nadia deliberately stressed the word "shame". It was as if she was threatening Emilia.Emilia's hands tightly clenched
"Watch your mouth! You're free to say whatever you want, but you can't speak recklessly!"The man who was grabbed by Alex was someone in his thirties, wearing a pair of glasses.Seeing his aggressive behavior, the man immediately started shouting, "Don't think you can get away with anything just because you're rich and powerful. Go ahead and prove that what I said was wrong then. Everyone in Gilsbury knows what happened to Nadia back then!"Nadia indeed had an incident in Gilsbury back then, but Lana and Liam had kept it under wraps. The level of secrecy surrounding this incident rivaled even that of state secrets. Not even the restaurant employees who worked closely with Nadia, nor Peter and Jane, were aware of Nadia's tragic past.Even to this day, if someone were to ask about it in Gilsbury, they would not be able to find out anything.However, as soon as this man spoke up, he explicitly mentioned that Nadia's incident in Gilsbury was widely known, which pointed to only one p
Following closely, a slender and upright figure emerged from the car.Soon after, the onlookers were treated to a visage resembling an adonis, accompanied by the inherent noble air the man naturally possessed.With a commanding presence and an aloof demeanor, this man had the ability to command respect from those who met his gaze."Who is that man? He looks so intimidating!""Who else could it be? Everyone who was supposed to come has already arrived. This man is definitely the heir to the Garrison family.""He's the heir to the Garrison family?""He's so good-looking!"Although Liam was handsome, the attitude of the people at the venue, especially women, toward him was simply worlds apart from that of Chris.When Chris appeared, the women took the initiative to approach and greet him, and some even walked the red carpet with him.However, when Liam appeared, everyone just looked at him from a distance, maintaining as much distance as possible.Therefore, Liam, who was not a
"What's wrong, Mr. Chris?"Lana approached Chris with a charming smile, linked her arm with his, and suddenly pressed her entire bosom against his arm.Chris immediately felt a shiver run down his spine. How revolting!"Mr. Chris, why do you look so terrible?"Lana reached out and touched Chris' face as she spoke.Chris quickly pushed her hand away and distanced himself from her. "Bitch! Stay away from me!"Having said that, Chris ran back to Liam's side as if he was running for his life."Liam, something's off!"Liam gazed at him coldly and said, "I've already warned you to stay away from other people's affairs."Chris was rendered speechless. He had indeed acted too rashly!However, at least he still managed to suppress his anger and refrain himself from bashing the portly man in the head!After the seemingly uneventful charity dinner, Chris was left in a bad mood by Lana's shameless behavior. He had no interest in mingling with the female celebrities, so he dejectedly
