Lana heard him but seemed to be hesitating.It was the first time Jeremy saw a serious look on the dishonest woman.He did not want to give Lana too much time to think about it.He stood up and pretended to be displeased. "Since you don't trust me, then forget it."Lana hurried over to stop Jeremy when she heard what he said. "Baby, don't be angry. Why would I not trust you?"Lana coquettishly tugged on Jeremy's sleeve. She looked a little worried. When she saw that Jeremy's handsome face was not turned toward her and he was acting coldly as well, Lana changed her mind."Baby, you’re offering such a big sacrifice to let a multinational company like Whitman Corporation help the Stygian Johnson Gang launder money. I’d be dumb to disagree!"Lana gave in.Jeremy continued pretending to be displeased to egg her on. "You don't have to agree so reluctantly. It was just a suggestion. You don't need to agree just to please me.""I’m not! Jeremy, I’d love to!" Lana smiled and tried to p
When Ava heard his voice, it was as if she was electrocuted and got stunned still.Knock, knock. He knocked on the door again. "Ava, are you there?" Daniel's voice softly penetrated into her ears.Ava's heart felt sour, and she felt even more uncomfortable.The man she loved was standing outside the door, but she…"Ava, last night...""Dan, I-I drank too much last night. I’m still a little tired and feel like going to bed,” Ava suppressed her emotions and interrupted Daniel as she pretended to be calm.Outside the door, it took a long time for Daniel to answer. His tone sounded a little lonely. "Have a good rest, then.""Thanks, Dan," Ava replied. Dressed in her pajamas, she hugged her body tightly as she stared at the door blankly.After standing for a while, Ava slowly walked to the door. She wanted to take a look at Daniel's back, but she did not expect that she would see him the second she opened the door.Ava was stunned and did not move. She seemed to have been paralyzed
Her heart started to race, and she called Madeline immediately. It was only then when she found out that Madeline had asked Daniel to take her home last night.Instead of waking up at home, she woke up in the hotel instead.She could not remember anything that happened in between those times. The only thing she remembered was waking up next to a man lying next to her. She did not even see what the man looked like.‘Was it possible that Dan saw what happened?‘Did he see the man and me…’Ava felt as if her head was about to explode when suddenly, her doorbell rang again.She thought it was Daniel who had turned back, but when she opened the door, she saw the person she did not want to see…Madeline did not sleep a wink last night. She got up very early, fed the baby, and prepared breakfast for Ryan.After Ryan left, she took the children to Whitman Manor.Lillian still could not speak, so Jackson had been accompanying his little sister.After Madeline passed her youngest son a
Jeremy and the man who was sitting across from him heard the sound. They both looked up at the same time.When he saw Madeline squatting at the stairs, holding Lillian who was crying, Jeremy was very surprised. He quickly stepped forward and wanted to comfort the crying little girl but was held back by the man.The man shook his head at Jeremy, giving him a hint with his eyes. He then turned away, walking out through the other door."Don’t cry, Lillian. Bad balloon! See, it’s okay. Don’t cry, don’t cry." Madeline hugged the little girl sadly.However, Lillian would not stop crying. Apart from crying, Lillian did not make any other sounds.Jeremy looked at the little princess crying with tears streaming down her cheeks like the rain, his heart aching at the sight. However, he had no choice but to walk over to them coldly."Eveline, are you following me?"Madeline, who was comforting Lillian, raised her sharp gaze to look at the man looking down at her."Lillian got scared by the
She wanted to do a laboratory test on it.As soon as Jeremy left the cafe, he received a call from Lana asking him where he was.He casually said that he was buying a present for her and she was fooled.20 minutes later, Jeremy returned to Lana's villa with a box of chocolates he bought from the streets.As soon as he entered the room, he heard Yorick's dissatisfied questioning voice, "I told you to go back to F Country. Why are you still here?"Yorick Johnson, I’m your sister. How can you treat me this way because of Eveline?” Lana sneered unhappily as she sat on the sofa. She lit up a cigarette and took a big puff like a lady gangster boss. “Yorick Johnson, I'm just curious. Who’s the man stopping you from hurting Eveline?”Yorick did not care about how rudely Lana was speaking to him right now, even using his full name. He only solemnly reminded her, saying, "It’s better if you don’t know. If you knew, you wouldn't benefit much from it.”"Benefit? What are you talking about?
When Lana heard what Jeremy said, her smile suddenly froze as a trace of confusion flowed through her eyes."Jeremy?"Jeremy saw the change in Lana's flustered expression and his lips curled up with satisfaction.He took his time and inserted the USB into the computer. He opened the files and copied everything inside.Lana walked over uneasily. "Jeremy, what did you mean by that?"Jeremy answered without looking at her, "I just wanted to see your reaction.""My reaction?”Lana did not understand and continued listening to Jeremy’s explanation. "My life is in your hands, and you’ve given me the most important thing to handle. Now neither of us can survive without each other, right?"When Lana heard his answer, her sadness instantly turned into joy. A shy smile appeared on her face. "Jeremy, I never thought that you’d make such a sweet joke. You almost scared me by saying that.""Is it?""Yeah." Lana nodded and urged again, saying, "Jeremy, you must keep the accounts safe. This
"Linnie, I wish I could hug you right now.”‘But I’ll probably never get another chance to stand in front of you again.’...After Lana left Whitman Corporation, she felt very nauseous as soon as she got into the car. She went to the hospital for a check-up and did not expect to learn that she was pregnant from the test results.Lana was overjoyed. She wanted to call Jeremy immediately to tell him the good news, but after thinking about it, she turned the steering wheel and drove the car to the gates of Whitman Manor before swaggering in.Karen was sitting in the living room looking after the little baby. Jackson was sitting next to Pudding, helping to take care of him. Suddenly, Jackson’s big eyes saw the uninvited guest, Lana.Jackson recognized her. He grabbed the apple in the fruit bowl and threw it at Lana with a serious face. "Bad guy."Lana avoided it quickly and grabbed the apple. She threw it under her feet, then smiled disdainfully. "What? Is Eveline out? Is that why y
Lana fell onto the ground. As she was wearing a mini dress, blood could be seen flowing out from beneath."Ouch!" Lana frowned in pain and pointed at Madeline who was on the phone. She said fiercely, "Eveline, you did this to me! If anything happens to my son, I’ll destroy your b*stard kids! Ouch…”Madeline walked up to Lana with a cold face. With a queen-like aura, she stared condescendingly at Lana who was curled up on the ground.She suddenly stretched out her hand to pull up Lana’s collar, her gaze still as sharp. "If it weren’t for this innocent child, I wouldn’t have called an ambulance for someone like you. It’s a tragedy for this child to be conceived by you. With a mother like you, your child will never be happy!”"Eveline, you..."Lana was in pain and furious. She tried to fight back but could not muster up any strength.Jeremy wanted to meet the children and Madeline for one last time, so he went back to his place. However, he was met with this scene when he entered th
