"Emilia, this place is so upscale. There must be a lot of beautiful women and delicious food later."

Listening to Maverick chattering in her ear, Emilia couldn't help but roll her eyes.

No wonder she has always looked down on Maverick—this person is too uncouth.

Emilia finally managed to secure an invitation to the Snyder family's ball. Upon learning this, Mitchell shamelessly forced her to bring Maverick along. Of course, it was to broaden his horizons.

However, someone who talked about beautiful women and good food in a place like this must be someone with limited horizons.

"Emilia, look! Isn't that woman a celebrity? I remember seeing her on TV," Maverick excitedly pointed to a woman not far away and said, "Wait for me. I'll go get her autograph."

Emilia was speechless.

How embarrassing!

Asking someone for an autograph in a place like this is lowering one's status, isn't it?

In a city like Dawsbury, actors are the lowest class of residents, only for the entertainment of the

    "Are you talking to me?" Lana suddenly asked.Thinking his chance had come, Maverick put on his usual bully demeanor and said, "Are you deaf? I've always been talking to you. Or are you blind? Can't you see me?"Lana smiled faintly and stood up abruptly. "Don't misunderstand. I'm not disabled. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to hit the wrong person.""What do you mean hit the wrong person?" Maverick was still contemplating Lana's words when suddenly, he let out a scream. The next moment, he found himself on the ground, experiencing intense pain in his elbow and shoulder. It hurt so much that he broke into a cold sweat.It was the first time he had taken a beating in his life.Maverick quickly got up, pointed at Lana, and cursed, "You bitch, you don't appreciate my generosity! You should be honored that I took notice of you. You better kneel and apologize to me now, or I'll have my sister throw you out.""Your sister?"Lana and Nicholas exchanged a glance. In this day

    Emilia thought that being seen by Lana in that unfortunate moment was already bad enough. Little did she know, as she turned, she ran straight into Liam, who had just arrived."Liam!" In an attempt to diffuse the awkwardness, Emilia greeted Liam first.However, Liam seemed as if he hadn't heard her voice or even seen her. He walked past her, heading toward the castle, seemingly oblivious to her presence.All because Liam had spotted a familiar figure.Everyone knew today's ball was organized by the Snyder couple to help their son find a wife. So, the young women attending the event had the potential to become part of the prestigious Snyder family.But why was Lana here? Did she also aspire to be a member of the Snyder family? It appeared Liam hadn't fully understood Lana's intentions—she had secretly harbored thoughts of climbing the social ladder.Though Liam hadn't reached the castle yet, his mind was already racing.Perhaps he hadn't realized that when it came to Lana, his

    What was the most significant trait of a duchess?Of course, it was being obedient, following the arrangements of her husband's family. More importantly, she should be capable of offering counsel and strategies for the family.Emilia was confident that she could achieve all of these.In her interactions with the Snyder family, she easily recognized that she possessed these qualities.Moreover, from the perspective of her family background, she now controlled the entire Cooper family and was formerly part of Dawsbury's Eight Affluent Families, known as the Watsons.Just this aspect alone was enough to capture the attention and favor of the Snyder family.As Maverick had mentioned, Emilia was indeed the best choice for a Snyder family bride, and she believed this to be true as well.Thanks to Emilia's initiative, the so-called ball could continue.However, despite this, several older entrepreneurs from Dawsbury City, who had no intention of associating with this incoming family,

    Lana finally managed to get away from Adrian's uncomfortable gaze. She strolled slowly through the grove, taking in the fresh air with relish. Only then did she feel much better."You're such a great pretender!"A familiar voice suddenly rang out behind Lana."Didn't you come here for the sole purpose of securing the duchess position? So why aren't you taking the opportunity to get Duke Snyder's attention?"Lana didn't even bother turning as she continued walking forward, not wanting to deal with Liam's nonsense.People often said a break-up would show a person's true colors. She didn't expect Liam's character to be so unpleasant."Hey! I'm talking to you!"Lana still ignored him, but Liam had no plans of letting her go."Just because you're ignoring me, that doesn't mean you're innocent."As Liam's words became increasingly unpleasant, Lana finally stopped in her tracks and looked into his eyes, which were as deep as the abyss."Liam, are you done with your nonsense?

    Adrian just kept smiling, completely dismissing Liam's words.Liam had no intention of dealing with him anymore, so he turned and walked away.However, at this moment, Adrian said, "Mr. Kane, I've taken a liking to Ms. Lana. So please stop seeing her in the near future."Liam was rendered speechless.Adrian's words were truly amusing.What did he mean by "taken a liking to Lana"?Liam stopped in his tracks, turned, and gazed calmly at Adrian. "You should go and ask around who Lana truly belongs to. Once you've found out, we can have a proper talk."Upon hearing this, Adrian suddenly realized something.However, he quickly regained his composure. "That was before. I'm talking about from now on."Liam sneered. "Fine, let's wait and see. I'm curious to see if Lana dares to follow a man like you, who fears her homeland."At this point, anyone with a good head on their shoulders on Zanteles' side would have a good idea of what the Snyder family was up to.Liam was confident that

    Seeing Emilia's apparent joy, Adrian couldn't help but raise the stakes."You look like a friend I used to know from Zanteles."Emilia was inwardly startled. Could it be that Adrian knew who Cynthia was?"You've probably made a mistake. Isn't it said that foreigners usually can't tell Zantelians apart?"Similar to how Emilia would perceive others from other countries, if it hadn't been for Adrian's striking and good-looking appearance, she might have easily mistaken him for other foreigners!"Of course not. Once they're my friend, I would never recognize the wrong person. I take my relationships very seriously."Adrian's words caused Emilia's heart to skip a beat.Why did he say it in such a way that it sounded like a confession?However, this was their first meeting. There was no way Adrian could have confessed his feelings to her.Emilia forced herself to remain calm and said, "I would also do anything for my friends.""We're like two peas in a pod!"When Emilia heard Adri

    However, Emilia was still wary of Cynthia, so she didn't let her guard down in front of her."I can handle my own affairs. I don't need you to tell me what to do."Cynthia realized Emilia wasn't swayed, so she sneered and walked away.Maverick returned shortly after Cynthia left.Emilia glanced at the time. It was almost 2:00 am, and even this was considered early for Maverick.Seeing that Emilia was still awake, Maverick came over excitedly. "Hey, Emilia! What a surprise. You're still up at this hour?"From Maverick's point of view, although Emilia was considered young, she still lived like an elderly. She would always go to bed early and wake up early the next day—she ultimately led a very mundane life.Emilia sighed in resignation. "How come you're back so early?""Ugh, don't even mention it!"Maverick, who was quite close to her, immediately sat down after hearing her question. He told her all about his ordeals.

    Jessica returned from grocery shopping shortly, and Nicholas and Lana had already gotten the fire going.Marcel, as always, just observed from the side. He had never been the one to do these things. He was there solely to eat."It's so hot outside!"As soon as Jessica returned, she tossed the things aside. Then, she quickly ran into the yard to indulge in some watermelon.Lana smiled and shook her head helplessly, then went into the kitchen to prepare the dishes.However, as soon as she poured the squids that Jessica had bought into the sink, she immediately let out a shriek of disgust.Jessica and Nicholas rushed into the kitchen and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?"Lana pinched her nose and pointed at the squids in the sink. "Jessica, why did you buy such fishy squids?""Fishy?"Jessica immediately walked over. "That can't be right. The squids were still alive when I bought them. Look. If you touch its skin now, it will still change color!As she s

    Would Lana forgive him and spend the rest of her life with him?Liam's heart was filled with a sense of anticipation.Since the reason for the incident had been clarified, everyone let out a sigh of relief at the same time and also went back to rest. Even Leonardo was taken away just to give the two people who had been apart for a long time some space to be alone.After everyone had left, Liam straightened out his clothes and approached Lana, then proceeded to slowly crouch down."Lana!"In the man's deep and sexy voice, there was an unusual tremor and a hint of choked emotion.Liam had no idea what kept him going during these years after losing Lana.Liam didn't dare to do anything too bold. Instead, he gently leaned his handsome face against Lana's hand, repeatedly calling her name.Three years had already passed since Lana left in a fit of anger, setting off a series of events afterward.If she still had any resentment, it would have vanished when she saw Liam's tall figu

    Liam's outstretched hand awkwardly hung in the air, and eventually, he could only withdraw it."Speak up if you have something to say, or else, stay quiet. We're not in the mood to listen to you." Hector's attitude toward Liam was still unfavorable, to the extent that he didn't even want to see him.Lana suddenly said, "Something very serious actually happened today."Following that, she placed Leonardo down and showed everyone the wound on his neck.A ring of red marks surrounded Leonardo's delicate neck. In some places, the marks were so swollen that it looked like a tire had been wrapped around his neck. It was a shocking sight to behold.Hector, Violet, Mandy, and Romelius were immediately enraged."What happened to Leo?""What happened to his neck? It could have been fatal if it was any worse.""Who was responsible for watching Leo today? How could they be so negligent and let the child get injured so badly?""This doesn't look like any ordinary wound. It looks like it wa

    "Stop looking at me like that. If you want to kill or torture me, go ahead." Cynthia knew what would happen to her after the truth came out, so she gave up struggling. "However, even after my death, I'll haunt you for the rest of your life!"As they listened to her absurd threat, Lana and the Traffic Light Trio burst into laughter."If ghosts were real, then Emilia would be the first to look for you."When her deceased sister was mentioned, Cynthia's smile remained unchanged. "That fool probably never knew it was me who betrayed her until her death."Considering the situation, Cynthia didn't believe she could leave the Garrison Villa tonight."What exactly do you gain by single-handedly destroying the Cooper family?"Lana was still very confused by Cynthia's actions.After all, Emilia and Cynthia were twins and had the same blood coursing through their veins. With all the Coopers gone, Cynthia had nothing to gain from it either!Cynthia sneered at Lana's question. "Lana, yo

    On the evening of the banquet, the Garrison Villa was bustling with distinguished guests.Initially, everyone's attention was on the precious great-grandson of the Garrison and Kane family. With his confident and lively demeanor, the chubby child was absolutely adorable. Everyone was naturally curious about who the child might have chosen as his stepmother.It should be noted that the Garrison and Kane family only had one great-grandson. His future was destined to be extraordinary. As long as one could control the child, it was much more worthwhile than dealing with those individuals from the two affluent families.After all, the elders from the two families were very attentive and doting toward this child. Surprisingly, Liam, who was said to have been away from home for a long time, had returned. During the reception of guests, he unexpectedly had a smile on his face.The ladies who had come tonight, vying for the position of Liam's wife, became even more excited.Liam typi

    On the night before the banquet, Romelius and Mandy finally brought Leonardo back.Lana was overjoyed, and she immediately went to the bungalow where they were staying.At that time, Leonardo had just returned home and was playing with toys on the living room floor."Leo, you're back! Did you miss Mommy? Mommy missed you so much!"Lana ran toward Leonardo, talking to him while reaching out to hug him. In a flash, Leonardo suddenly ran toward Romelius while holding a toy car.After that, he kept hiding in his arms, refusing to come out. He would occasionally peek out from the gaps to glance at Lana.His actions clearly showed that he refused to accept Lana.Lana's enthusiasm was dampened, and her outstretched arms awkwardly remained in midair. She looked at Romelius and then at Mandy as if waiting for them to persuade Leonardo. However, these two remained silent and only greeted Lana in a casual manner."Oh, Lana, you've come?" Mandy said while presenting her with a basket o

    Due to the fact that the Garrison family was going to hold a banquet to introduce the mother of their beloved great-grandson, Leonardo, the Garrisons once again became the talk of the town in Dawsbury.The last time Dawsbury was so lively was when Hector introduced the Garrison family's heir to everyone.As soon as the news was released, the Garrisons became noticeably busier in the following days. All of them were busy scurrying around and helping Hector deliver the invitations.In addition to people who had business dealings with the Garrison family, the invitations were naturally sent to people who were familiar with Lana in the past. Therefore, as soon as the Traffic Light Trio received the invitation, they didn't even go to work and immediately ran to Liam's office—intending to get an explanation from him.At that time, Liam had just finished a phone call from overseas and was deep in thought when the office door was suddenly kicked open.Lincoln stood at the door, looking

    With that, Sawyer ignored the unpleasant expressions on Freya and Hector's faces. He immediately picked up his child and walked away.Hector was furious. He glared at Liam, his eyes burning with anger. It was clear that he thought Liam was the one responsible for Lana's predicament.Liam was once again innocently caught in the crossfire.Freya set aside her current tasks, offered some comforting words to Hector, and then got up and chased after them.She knew Sawyer well enough and was certain that he would never have treated someone like this unless there was a reason.As Freya's family of three left, Lana's face bore a sorrowful expression. "Since I'm not welcome here, I guess I'll just go."With that, Lana got up and walked toward the door.Hector and Violet had been waiting for Lana's return for a long time. Now that she was finally back, how could they possibly let her go?Naturally, the two of them chased after Lana and tried to talk her out of leaving. They eventually ma

    Liam sensed a challenging undertone in Lana's stare. After all this time, had they truly become adversaries?Releasing Lana abruptly, Violet gently patted her arm, her eyes filled with profound hurt."You're here, alive and well. Why did you leave us in the shadows? Even if you chose not to contact anyone else, you should've considered reaching out to me. Do you have any idea how much I missed you?"Over the years, Violet had been grappling with a deep sense of loss.Though it remained an unspoken sentiment among them, Violet was aware of the underlying blame directed toward Liam for what was believed to be Lana's demise.Had Liam been more emotionally available, their relationship wouldn't have crumbled. It would've stopped Lana from seeking refuge overseas while carrying their child, an act that set the stage for her heartbreaking destiny.Witnessing Liam's anguish and believing Lana to be lost forever had taken a severe toll on Violet's health, aging her considerably."Gr

    Liam guided Leo to Lana's room.As they entered, Lana was already awake, bathed in the serene morning light streaming through the window.Upon hearing their arrival, Lana, while brushing her hair, shifted her gaze toward them—a familiar scene echoing times gone by."Good morning, Liam and Leo!" she greeted them effortlessly.Without hesitation, Leonardo squirmed out of Liam's embrace and darted toward Lana, exclaiming, "Hi, Nana!"Lana paused, momentarily surprised by Leonardo's nickname. "Leo, you should be calling me 'Mommy'!" she gently corrected him.Leonardo hesitated momentarily before redirecting his attention to Liam.Even though Liam hadn't exchanged a single word with Lana, he spoke up when Leo glanced his way, firmly stating, "Feel free to do as you wish. There's no need to seek my approval. Alright?"Leonardo nodded obediently and turned his gaze back to Lana, continuing to address her as "Nana."While Lana appeared somewhat displeased by this unexpected turn of ev
