Anthon wiped his sweat as he hurriedly explained, "It was urgent at that time. I was worried that things might take the wrong turn if she were to feed you and Mr. Felton some random medicine. "That was why I stopped her. But thankfully, Faye was persistent. Otherwise, I would've made a huge mistake." It was a wonderful explanation.Faye and Karston couldn't help but laugh. Anthon inhaled deeply, continuing with his act. "I've been wanting to make things clear to you, Mr. Keane Senior. But Faye has been refusing to see me, and she doesn't want to answer my calls either ..."That sounded like Faye was in the wrong. Karston was simply impressed by Anthon's acting. Perhaps no one could be better than him when it came to this aspect. Roy didn't know how to put his feelings into words. So who exactly saved them? Was it Anthon or Faye?If it was Faye, then what about Anthon?Roy took a deep breath, his face looking gloomy.Faye clapped her hands and laughed. "What a wonderf
The most bewildered and confused people at the scene were Anna and Mark. After having suffered the short end of the stick, they wanted to seek help from Roy to teach Faye a lesson for crossing them. However, little did they expect Faye to suddenly turn out to be Roy's savior. Moreover, Karston, who had always been a cold fish, seemed to hold Faye in high regard. Mark felt a shiver run down his spine. He wanted nothing more than to hide in a hole. Anna also thought of slipping away.Unfortunately, Roy's gaze fell upon them after confronting Anthon. "What did you say earlier?" he asked frostily. While Anna was usually audacious on campus, she now resembled a child who had made a mistake in front of Roy. She stood behind her brother, trembling like a leaf.Mark swallowed hard and faked a laugh. "N-Nothing. Mr. Keane Senior, everything is just a misunderstanding ..." "Didn't you say that Ms. Faye hit you and your sister, put on airs, and belittled the Keanes just now?" Taking
Sophia was very excited on her way home. She kept heaping praises on Faye for her abilities and skill.Sophia also mentioned that in the two years she studied here, it was the first time she saw Anna being so meek. It was quite satisfying to see Anna getting what she deserved. Seeing the calm expression on Faye's face, Sophia scratched her head. "Faye, I have nothing to do with Mr. Lukas. I've been busy with my studies at university. I haven't thought about dating." Faye raised an eyebrow. "It's okay to date, but you should choose the right person. University is a wonderful phase of life. While studies are important, you shouldn't neglect your youth." Faye couldn't help sighing when she was reminded of her own university days. The pleasures of university life had nothing to do with her. All she had were memories of blood, sweat, and tears from hard work. "Really? Do you think so too?" Sophia looked at Faye with excitement. "I feel the same way. As you said, we should choose
On the way home, Faye received calls from her mom, her aunt, and even Lucy. They were all asking about her dance in the video. Her mother, in particular, was overjoyed upon seeing her daughter dance again. For the past six years, Faye hardly danced at all. Flora had urged Faye repeatedly not to give up, even going as far as to threaten Faye with her own health. Faye agreed verbally, but she never danced again. Flora knew that her illness and Clint's betrayal had been a huge blow to Faye. It wasn't that she didn't love dancing anymore. It was that her circumstances and environment didn't allow her to dance with the same carefree attitude. Flora felt sorry for her daughter. She hated herself for trusting the wrong man and her inability to provide for Faye. Now that Faye was back on stage, it filled her with more joy than anything else. After hanging up, Faye had arrived at Cedric's villa. She made several calls to Avery, but Avery avoided her calls. Faye had to give up. Avery
"Huff … huff …" Faye lifted her head from the bathwater, panting. She wiped away the water on her face and slumped in the bathtub. Even so, she couldn't get Cedric's perfect physique out of her mind. Faye swore that it wasn't intentional. She had no desire to unfasten his bathrobe nor stare at his body! Nonetheless, she couldn't control her eyes. When she finally came to her senses, she had already … Faye splashed water on her face again. When she was reminded of how she fled the scene, Faye couldn't help but chuckle. Cedric must have thought she was utterly ridiculous. She had wanted to tease him back, but her actions backfired. Compared to Cedric's shameless teasing, Faye found herself lacking in the flirting department. After the bath, Faye lay on the bed. She noticed the belt from Cedric's bathrobe in her hand. She had taken it in her haste after that embarrassing incident. The images that she had just banished from her mind flooded back. Rolling over in bed, Faye burie
Faye and Cedric arrived relatively late to the banquet. At that moment, the banquet hall was bustling with guests who had come to celebrate Roy's birthday. Every banquet was a chance for networking. It was like a silent battle without gunpowder and an underlying competition between the guests. Men here compared their social status, titles, and abilities. On the other hand, women showcased their figures, beauty, and social capital. Faye rarely participated in such events. She wasn't particularly interested in banquets and parties. As Cedric led her into the hall, the admiring glances and looks of jealousy were familiar to her. Faye had a faint smile on her face as she strode forward confidently. Faye walked alongside Cedric, each elegant step of hers deliberate. The serene smile on her face added a touch of mystery that piqued the curiosity of many guests. Beside her, Cedric was dressed in an all-black suit, which showed off his tall and attractive figure. His short hair was
Tracy received an invitation from Ruth. That was why she had the opportunity to attend the banquet. Upon learning that Anthon wasn't the one who had saved Roy's life, Tracy went home and had a heated argument with Anthon. She blamed him for not telling her about this earlier. She also questioned whether he had considered the consequences of angering the Keane family. Anthon turned the argument around and reprimanded her. He pointed out that if it weren't for the Keane family's help, she and her family would still be at the police station or even in jail. Tracy was aware of the numerous benefits that the Keane family could provide. However, she knew they were unable to bear the consequences of deceiving the Keane family. Tracy feared that the Keane family would withdraw the support they once gave. She knew the best way to turn their fate around was to become Avery's mentee and perform well in the National Dance Competition. But because of Faye, it seemed impossible for Tracy to
The banquet officially began with the host giving his opening speech. After that, Roy took the stage and expressed his gratitude to the guests. Finally, his gaze fell on Faye. "It's my birthday banquet today. Thank you to all who have taken time out of your busy schedules to celebrate with me. Standing here, I feel overwhelmed to see so many familiar and unfamiliar faces."He continued, "After all, the reason I can stand here today is because of a courageous young lady. If it were not for her, Felton and I might have been stuck forever in Jeorgia City and never see any of you again." After Roy's speech, the audience was abuzz with curiosity. Everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other, eager to find out what happened to Roy. Roy scanned the audience and observed the reactions on their faces. For the past few days, he had been investigating the accident and collected substantial information about it. At this moment, the culprit was here at the banquet. Nonetheless, he coul
