Lana's lips twitched, and she slowly raised her hands. "I swear. I didn't make him. He did it himself." Liam found Lana even more heartless when she said that! His face grew darker as he stared at her with a piercing gaze.Since the beginning of last month, he had been busy with senseless tasks and engaging in idle conversations with people online. It was all for the chance to join the public food critic team.He was away on a business trip and had forgotten about the show's recording schedule. When he learned the show was about to begin, he rushed back overnight without even going home. All his efforts weren't for the sake of watching this heartless woman play with his nephew's feelings here.In an instant, Liam was overwhelmed by an inexplicable anger. It welled up from within for an unknown reason. John, noticing Liam's grim expression, quickly approached to clarify, "Uncle Liam, everything Lana said is true. I did everything willingly, and she never asked me for anything!"
Liam was incredibly strong. In a moment, Lana felt as though she might be dying. There were so many things she hadn't done yet. She hadn't found her biological parents. She needed to ask them why they had given birth to her only to abandon her! Therefore, she couldn't die yet! Lana's voice was hoarse as she struggled to utter the words she wanted to say, "Liam … you're … a pervert!"Liam was surprised to hear that.Lana actually said that he was a pervert. Suddenly, Liam inexplicably released his grip. Lana fell to the ground instantly and started to breathe in air in large gasps. At that moment, she felt grateful to be alive. When she finally came to her senses and wanted to confront Liam, he had already vanished. Lana pounded the ground in frustration, saying, "Starting today, there's no peace between you and me."Lana, however, didn't understand why Liam hadn't allowed her to clarify things with John just now. If she and John could have a straightforward talk, tha
In the end, Liam kicked Howard out of Kane Residence! He believed Howard was a complete fake. His perverted symptoms were so glaringly obvious. And yet, Howard not only failed to provide him with treatment but also spouted nonsense. In fact, Liam couldn't accept the idea that he might have fallen for Lana.If he truly had feelings for Lana, there was no way they could have spent three years together at Kane Residence without anything happening. Moreover, if he genuinely had feelings for Lana, he would never have divorced her. After dismissing Howard, Liam began searching for internationally renowned psychologists. He refused to accept that no doctor could diagnose his psychological issues.…After getting kicked out of Kane Residence, Howard didn't bear any grudges. In fact, he started traveling around Gilsbury. Since he hadn't been back home in a long time, he thought this was the perfect time for a well-deserved break. Pushing his suitcase through the streets of Gils
Nadia naturally refused Howard's rude request. Howard shrugged as if it didn't matter to him. "You don't even know how to grasp the opportunity to go out on a date with a handsome guy."However, Lana knew that Howard had his reasons for each action. So she tried to persuade Nadia too, "Nadia, if you have nothing else to do, it's good to just go for a walk. Life is more than work and study. Your life has just begun; don't waste your youth."Nadia couldn't argue further with them. Thus, she pretended to agree to go on the date.Anyway, she could decide whether to go or not. What else could Howard do, force her by holding a knife to her throat?"Fine!"Lana and Howard were both relieved as Nadia finally agreed.Howard looked dignified as he came out of Lana's house.Lana's heart sank. "Is it bad?"Howard was rarely serious. "It's not just bad, it's awful. I'm scared that she would have suicidal thoughts.""What?" Lana sadly said, "It's all my fault! I neglected her all this w
At the same time, at the competition venue, Kayla's face dropped as she saw fans cheering for Lana come through the station entrance.Her family had been hiring marketing teams to promote her since the beginning, but she still didn't have a lot of fans.On the other hand, Lana, not even having a Twitter account, won over so many people's hearts. Would Kayla be happy?Kayla walked in the front as Lana's fans saw her, their expressions each gloated at her misfortune. She lost all her temper at once. "Go away, you guys aren't participants. Don't be in our way."Being arrogantly yelled at for no reason, anyone would have been mad. Soon, Lana's fans began arguing with Kayla."Weird, the TV station doesn't belong to the Starks. Why are you so anxious?""What are you? A guard dog? Who are you to boss us around on who stands at the entrance of the station?"Kayla and her team didn't even get to go into the station before starting a fight with Lana's fans.It was Kayla's fault to star
The kidnappers came fast at her. But Lana wasn't a weakling, either. She wouldn't just stay there and do nothing about it.She pointed her toes to the ground and made a big circle. Dust and debris came into the air and covered the five kidnappers completely."Little bitch, how dare you try me? You'll see what I'll do to you!"As Mr. Tooth Decay cursed at her, Lana secretly crept to the other end of the Ironhide Mountain. She was about to climb.Thank goodness that this recycling station had soil grounds. Lana could then buy herself some short but precious time to escape.After the dust settled, one of the kidnappers found out where she was. "Boss, she's climbed up the mountain."Mr. Tooth Decay wiped his face with his sleeve, "Shameless bitch." With that, the five men charged toward Lana again.They wanted to go up the mountain the way Lana did and get her down. However, they were much taller and heavier than Lana. The iron pieces disassembled from the mountain as they stepped
World-renowned chef?Lana had no clue who this was.When it came to cooking, she only followed what she liked and what her intuition told her. She had no clue who was what in the chef world.Lana could feel the man's gaze on her. However, she ignored it since the competition was starting.Glancing at the other competitors, she noticed Kayla was also looking at her strangely. Lana shot her a friendly smile, but Kayla only rolled her eyes.So Lana waited for the host to list out the competition's rules."Things will be a little different today. The rules of the competition are set by Michelin-star chef Franklin Cage. You may choose to cook with any technique and ingredients. However, you must follow the chef's given theme."With that, Franklin raised a board with the words 'Surprising, Rare, Exquisite' written on it.This was the theme the chef had chosen for today's competition."He's a Michelin-star chef, alright. Even his theme sounds strange.""Could someone really make som
Unexpectedly, Leonard shot her a warm smile. "It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. I thought it was just beginner's luck when you defeated Kayla twice, but now I see just where your capability lies."You are truly a masterful chef, Lana. I apologize on behalf of Kayla for what she did to you before. I acknowledge my faults in not teaching her better and have reprimanded her appropriately. I hope you can forgive her."Well, this was unexpected. Leonard was apologizing publicly for Kayla's behavior.Only now did everyone know about Kayla's grudge against Lana after she defeated her. Now everyone knew how Kayla had sabotaged Lana and nearly got her disqualified."It really doesn't matter to me, Mr. Stark. I don't blame Kayla." Lana knew Kayla would only have done what she did because outside forces persuaded her to do so."Thank you, Lana." Kayla, meanwhile, resorted to looking down a
