Perhaps Branden was tired of the shouting at the door, but his slightly worn voice drifted through the crack in the door."I'm in seclusion. Don't cause any trouble, and just leave quickly."Lena was taken aback and no longer dared to make any loud noises again. But she still wasn't willing to give up and spoke through the crack in the door. "Could you let me meet you just once?""Why do you want to see me? If you have something to say, you can say it now."Lena couldn't understand why Branden refused to see her, but she did have some questions in mind, so she quickly asked,"What did you mean when you mentioned 'persevering until the light at the end of the tunnel'? Did you already know that my brother didn't kill the people from the Morris family?"Branden said, "Anthony will provide you with the answer to the first question."As for the second question, your brother indeed had the intention to kill and even took action, but the people from the Morris family narrowly escaped w
It turned out that it was Branden who wanted Lena to leave the mountain, but because she was unwilling to do so, the situation ended up like this.Back at the door of Lena's room, Anthony spoke in a deep voice to Lena. "Lena, if you truly wish to stay on the mountain with your master, then I will stay with you. We can come down together whenever you want to.He originally planned to quickly head home to check on Daniel. But if Lena wasn't willing to leave now, then he would stay and wait a bit longer with her.Inside the room, Lena remembered what Branden had told her. He told her not to blame anyone and to be grateful for Anthony's compassion.Although she still didn't understand what Branden meant by Anthony's compassion, she was certain that Branden's words had to be true.She didn't want to leave Anthony standing alone at the door, especially since it got chilly in the mountains at night, and she didn't want him to catch a cold.She got out of bed and went to open the door.
Curtis and Margot returned to Amberville and settled into their regular routines.During the day, Curtis went to work at the company, while Margot stayed at home to take care of Louis. She occasionally took some time to check on her pizzeria business.She also often kept in touch with Allison to keep up with news about her, Ryan, and Edna.Allison said that Edna was doing well and told them not to worry.Margot asked Allison to wait until Ryan recovered before taking him and Edna to Amberville for a while. Allison agreed.That afternoon, after feeding Louis, she thought about how they had been back for a few days. Laura kept saying she was too busy with training to come back.Worried that Laura might not be doing well alone, Margot couldn't help herself and drove to where she was living to check on her.Laura had scored within the national top 100 scholars before taking a break from university to join girl group training.The hundred girls who were selected all gathered at the
Tommy gently explained to Laura as he looked at her, "I've been with Yvette Simms way before she joined the show. We just never made it public. Have I been taking care of her too much? Is that why it was so obvious to you?"But since you've figured it out, please don't tell anyone else. If this gets out, it could have a negative impact on her."Tommy was simply being very considerate toward Yvette's feelings. He was completely oblivious to how his words were like sharp needles that pierced deeply into Laura's heart.Laura was very surprised to find out that Tommy actually had a girlfriend.It was also the same person who constantly looked down at her and had openly admitted to having an affair with their mentor.The man she admired ended up being with the person she disliked the most.They actually turned out to be a couple…Laura couldn't accept the reality of it and found it hard to contain the pang of bitterness she felt in her chest. She got up without saying a word as her e
It was fine as long as they had whatever they needed to have. If one wasn't marrying someone they truly loved, getting married would only lower the quality of life and add unnecessary worries.Why did people have to live just like everyone else did in life?If only his parents hadn't cared about him, he would have wanted to live alone for the rest of his life.Margot immediately realized what she shouldn't have brought up and quickly said, "Alright, my bad. I shouldn't have rushed you. With how good-looking and successful you are, getting married is an easy feat, isn't it?"Tommy sneered and sarcastically remarked, "Stop flattering me. How could I possibly look as good or be as successful at making money as Curtis?"Margot glared at him, wanting to slap him.Tommy quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, let's stop chatting and go out to look for Laura. I noticed she hasn't been very happy lately. It's like she has something on her mind.""Okay."Margot followed closel
Tommy read it and suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.He motioned to Margot and said, "You call her, and I'll take it once the call connects.""Okay."Margot did as she was told, and soon, the other party answered. She quickly handed the phone to Tommy.Tommy was feeling somewhat annoyed and suddenly shouted at Laura, "Laura, what do you mean by this? Haven't I treated you well during your time at the training base?"Why do you want to leave as soon as Margot arrives? You know this might make others think I mistreated you."Laura was surprised to hear that Tommy had answered the phone.She struggled to control her emotions, wiped the tears from her cheeks, and said coldly, "I decided to quit training because I found it boring. Is that not allowed?""What do you mean by 'boring'? If it was boring, why did you join in the first place?"Tommy lost his temper and continued, "Laura, I don't care what kind of mood you're in, but nobody here is going to put up with your
Curtis stepped forward, raised his hand to knock on the door, and called out to the inside, "Laura, open the door."During the few days since they returned, Laura hadn't been home. She said the training base was in a closed setting and that they weren't allowed to leave.Of course, they also asked Tommy how Laura was doing over there.Tommy had told them that she was fine, which reassured them.What was going on that made Laura lock herself in her room and refuse to see anyone?Laura heard Curtis' voice at the door.In this household, she wasn't afraid of anyone except for Curtis. That's because he was very fierce.Fearful that Curtis might barge in, Laura sat on the bed and yelled toward the door, "I'm fine; it's just that my period started, and I'm feeling emotional and cried a bit. Why do you keep bothering me?"Margot only felt relieved after hearing Laura's response.Ashley also breathed a sigh of relief."Oh, I see. In that case, there shouldn't be any big issues. Let's
What Margot meant was that if she actually became pregnant, she would still be willing to give birth to the baby.Curtis smiled and reached out to hold her hand. "Let's just go with the flow. If it happens, we'll have the baby, and if not, that's okay too."Margot nodded.Having children really was a matter of fate.The Crosby's saw that the young couple had their own plans and ideas, so they didn't say anything more.After finishing her meal, Ashley packed some food to take upstairs for Laura.Margot quickly put down her fork and stood up to take it."Ashley, I'll give it to her."Ashley was aware that Margot and Laura hadn't a significant age difference, and they got along well without any generational gap.Perhaps Laura preferred to speak honestly with Margot.Ashley didn't refuse and handed the tray to Margot.Margot came to Laura's door carrying a tray and called out from the hallway, "Aunt Laura, I've got your food ready. Can you open the door so I can bring it in for
