Judy sounded very emotional when she said that. Coleen's hands froze for a moment. Then, she whispered, "Judy, don't overthink." When people reached a certain age, they tended to have various negative thoughts. Right after Coleen spoke, her friends around her immediately joined in to comfort Judy. After a few light coughs, Judy was then helped by the household staff to go back to her room to rest. Dorian's birthday party was a blast. It continued until the evening and was concluded after everyone had joined Dorian in blowing out the candles on the birthday cake. Then, people gradually started to leave one after another. Robin came by Chris' car in the morning, but he did not wait for her when he left. There was a private stretch of road in Larson Residence that did not allow outside cars. She needed to walk a distance before she could hail a taxi. Terence and the others were saying goodbye to Tyler when she was about to leave. Thus, she wanted to quicken her pace. After all
Brian's car continued to accelerate. Robin could feel her heartbeat racing. Eventually, they saw Terence's car again on the main road. It had stopped in the middle of the road and was waiting for the traffic light. Brian immediately accelerated, driving over to stop next to it. "Terence." He rolled down the car window and greeted Terence. Smiling, he said, "Were you waiting for me?" Terence also wound down his car window. His gaze faintly swept across Brian. He didn't utter a word when he saw Robin beside him. At the same time, the traffic light had started counting down the last three seconds. Brian was ready to accelerate and overtake Terence's car. Surprisingly, the traffic light turned red again after three seconds. Brian was taken aback. At this moment, Terence had taken out his phone and was dialing a number to report the situation. After about a minute, the traffic light returned to normal. During that time, Brian was talking to Terence, who occasionally r
Robin spoke in a serious tone as she looked at Brian urgently as if she was worried he might immediately take her to the party. Without a doubt, she already knew what kind of party he was going to. She genuinely did not like those shady parties. It was the first time Brian had been told by a woman with such seriousness that they had different circles. All the single women he had encountered were eager to be in his circle. Some even went the extra mile to get close to him. Therefore, he was a bit surprised when he heard Robin's words because he could not imagine her saying that. "In that case, Ms. Sage, what does your circle look like?" Robin paused for a moment, not expecting him to ask her a question in return. She then smiled awkwardly and whispered, "My circle is just work." The answer left Brian stunned.Robin did not dare to offend him, nor did she want to. "I don't really like such parties." Brian casually raised an eyebrow and stopped the car by the roadside. Seei
"Hey, Mr. Collins has changed his taste. Going for a city girl now?" In no time, the originally quiet private room erupted into chatter with someone speaking up. Their words were tinged with teasing, making Robin visibly uncomfortable. Brian gestured with a "shh" and said, "Alright, don't talk nonsense. Ms. Sage is my friend." Upon his words, a collective sigh swept through the crowd once again. Robin felt very uneasy in this environment. Brian led her to the center of the couch and removed his hand from her shoulder. He said to Robin with a caring expression, "Choose the songs you want to sing." Robin became embarrassed and nodded slightly. "Don't worry about me." As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang. It must be Chris coming to her rescue after reading her message. She immediately grabbed her phone and said with a smile, "There's some work stuff I need to handle. I'll go and answer the call first." As she spoke, she immediately picked up the phone and headed
Robin felt completely lost as she did not know what words to use to describe her feelings. She took a deep breath and smiled awkwardly. "Mr. Collins, I know I'm just a tool. You brought me here to provoke Michelle Kennedy." Michelle was the young celebrity Brian had been pursuing. Robin did not remember her name earlier but recalled it now. As Brian listened to her, he raised an eyebrow playfully and asked, "How do you know I'm pursuing her?" Robin smiled and said, "During the dinner hosted by Mr. Weiss last time, he mentioned it. Ms. Kennedy seems challenging to handle, right? But I noticed how the way she looked at me changed when I went in there just now. It's jealousy between women." She continued, "So, you shouldn't be sending me home now. Instead, you should return to the private room. You stand a chance of making her change her mind. She might even take the initiative to contact you—"Before she could finish her sentence, Brian's phone rang. He took out his phone
Terence nodded and looked at Robin. He said solemnly, "Don't ride in Brian's car again." Robin paused as she did not fully understand his meaning. He took a deep breath and looked at her piercingly. Then, he said in a deep voice, "The media and paparazzi often target Brian's car." Robin's expression slightly stiffened when she heard that. He was right; Brian was very famous among the right and wealthy. It was mainly because he changed his girlfriends as often as he changed his outfits. Also, he never had any romantic disputes. As a result, the paparazzi liked to use his love life for their headlines. At Terence's reminder, Robin suddenly became worried that the paparazzi might've captured her. Terence looked at her concerned gaze and said calmly, "It's getting late. Go back and rest." Robin nodded gently. "Mr. Weiss, thank you for the reminder. I'll be careful next time." Terence gave a slight nod and didn't say anything more. Then, he started the car and left. Taki
Michelle had been leading Brian on for a few months. During this time, Brian had gifted her many luxurious items. Also, she had gained access to many valuable resources because of him. She thought that Brian would definitely have a different reaction when she finally agreed to date him at this moment. She lightly pursed her red lips as she followed him into the private room. As they walked in, she smoothly let go of his arm to prevent any sign of awkwardness. She didn't want to display a submissive demeanor in front of the others. Brian walked over and sat on the couch. Michelle followed suit and sat beside him. However, she maintained a casual distance and behaved somewhat reservedly, as if she had not just agreed to go on a date with him. Seeing them enter the room together, people around them cheered and started playing games. The tranquil atmosphere of the room instantly became lively. After losing several rounds of the game, Michelle was unable to drink anymore.
After Larson Residence had seen all the guests off, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. When Coleen went to check on Judy in her room, Judy just wouldn't wake up no matter how hard Coleen shook her. Coleen's countenance abruptly changed. She held out a finger under Judy's nose and suddenly turned pale. "Tyler!" Upon hearing Coleen's cry, the maids rushed into Judy's room. All they saw was Judy lying still on her bed.The butler rang up the family doctor with a cell. Tyler went blank all of a sudden when he came downstairs and saw Judy in that state.Upon hearing the stir, Jean and Dorian came downstairs. Dorian was first to shed a tear when he witnessed this.Everyone knew what had happened. Even Dorian knew that Judy had passed.She had passed on peacefully. The family doctor rushed to the Larsons' immediately after receiving the butler's call.Wails resounded throughout Larson Residence. It was only natural for many to find it difficult to see such an am
