"I was thinking about how you would probably need my help. That's why I came," Adrian said sheepishly. God knew how much he didn't want to stay a minute longer in the party. He couldn't stand the flocks of women that were swarming around him. So, he made up some half-baked excuse to find a reason to head up there. "I think you're lying. You came over because you wanted to be away from all the socializing!" Adeline smiled and exposed his lies. Adrian smiled awkwardly and said, "Oops, you caught me. How did you even see through it in an instant?" "Chloe, it's getting late, we should head back soon. Go and change into your new clothes." Thinking of what Alan had told her just now, Adeline was still a little afraid to be in such a close proximity with him. She figured that it would be best if she kept her distance from him. "Chloe, why do you need to change your clothes again? Didn't my brother send someone over and gave you a new set of clothes? Does
Chloe nodded at Adeline and followed the man into the car. Adeline gave a long glance at the man in front of him. Since unable to avoid him that time, she might as well just face the music. Adeline was pretty sure that Alan would be still nice to her. Adeline got in the car and fastened up her seat belt. She dared not speak. "Culver is abroad for some business now. If you need any help with anything, feel free to give me a call anytime." Saying that, Alan handed her a business card. "Okay..." Adeline extended her hand to take the card and was surprised to see that Alan was the President of the Supreme Group that had taken the world by storm the past two years. It was rumored that the President of the Supreme Group was ruthless when it comes to business. People in the business world dared not to offend him in any way and feared his name. Adeline's hand trembled a little as she held onto the card. She couldn't believe that she was sitting in the legen
Neil immediately handed the scripts over to Adeline after hearing Malcom's orders. With a smile, he said, "Miss Simpson, this is the script, you can have a look at it!" "Okay!" Adeline thanked him. Adeline took the script and read through it carefully. She felt that the offered role could be worthwhile for her to challenge up for it. "Adeline, this character is pretty round off. Her attitude, looks, and way of thinking match with your personality," Chloe said in pleasant surprise. Neil joined them and said, "The filming will be taken outdoors. I heard from Mr. White that apparently the scenery is spectacular." Chloe held the script in her hands as she dazed off, imagining about the scenery. She was lost in her own thoughts... Adeline looked into Chloe's shining eyes. With both of her arms supporting her chin, Adeline praised, "Chloe, I suddenly realized how utterly charming and alluring you are!" Chloe stared into Adeline's bewitching eyes and
Adeline ignored Zoey. She continued walking out of the store, holding Chloe's hand. Zoey stepped forward to stop her and asked, "Adeline, why are you in a haste to leave? Are you guilty of anything which you have had done to me in the past?" Sebastian's face flashed with a sense of anguish when he saw Adeline. Turning to face Zoey, he held her hand and said, "Zoey, come on. Let's not fight anymore. Let's go home and talk about it, okay?" "What's wrong? Are you feeling bad for her?" Zoey questioned Sebastian sharply. She did not intend to let Adeline off the hook. Chloe looked at them and could probably guess what was going on between them. She remembered Adeline told her that she used to have a boyfriend, but Adeline didn't mention him any further, so she never asked. Adeline let out a laugh, "I'm not the same as you nor do I have a courage like yours. You're really brave in picking up what others don't want." Adeline looked at Zoey col
"Sebastian, follow me!" Victor eyed Sebastian, then walking towards the end of another corridor. Sebastian stood up and looked at his father who was already a distance away. Reluctantly, Sebastian followed from the back. "Dad." A slap went across Sebastian's face. "Don't call me father. The Lawson family is ashamed to have such a son like you!" Victor was so angry that veins were bulging from his face. Sebastian knew that what he did was wrong. He shouldn't have betrayed his relationship with Adeline. Thus, everything that had happened was completely retribution. "Tell me, what is the relationship between you and Adeline?" Victor snapped. After Sebastian stood looking at his father, he finally gave in and came clean to his father. He told him about his past relationship with Adeline and the real reason of why Zoey fell. Victor looked at Sebastian disappointedly. He was upset that his son did not live up to his expectations. Hearing
Waves of clattering and smashing sounds were heard from Zoey's room. Ronald and Sebastian immediately rushed over to her ward. "Don't stop me! I must find her. She's the one who made me lose my child. She's the murderer!" Zoey sat on the hospital bed, tied to tubes, struggling to get down. Zoey was conscious when she was pushed out to her room. She overheard the doctor that her chances of getting pregnant were getting lower and slimmer. Hearing that piece of news, Zoey was in utter shock. She blamed and placed the fault entirely on Adeline. "Zoey, it's okay. Please don't get so worked up. You still have Sebastian though it'll be harder for you to get pregnant now," Helen comforted her while enveloping Zoey into a hug with both of her hands. Sebastian stopped at the doorway of Zoey's room. At that moment, he did not know how to face her. Ronald noticed the conflict and agony Sebastian was facing. Patting him lightly on the shoulder, he said, "Give it a mome
Then, Adeline went forward and held Ronald's arm. She said, "Dad, I've started to take on some acting roles!" "Don't need to worry about me. I'll work hard. When I have made enough money, I'll find someone to manage the company then we can travel around the world together!" Adeline said dreamily. Hearing upon Adeline's words, Ronald was gratified and thankful that he had such a sweet and sensible daughter. "Sure, I believe that you can do it!" "That's right!" Knock..knock... "Come in!" Maria pushed open the door and said, "Mr. Ronald, dinner is ready. I've made some of Miss Adeline's favorite's dishes.." Adeline looked at Ronald and said coquettishly, "Dad, will you accompany me to dinner?" "Sure!" Maria felt a trace of bitterness in her heart as she saw Ronald was finally willing to have a bite of something. She had already been the Simpson family's maid for approximately thirty years. To her, Ronald was just like one
Adeline woke up early the next morning. Taking her duffel bag, she rode the car to the production company. There were people waiting and gathering at the entrance by the time she arrived. Neil came up to Adeline just as she got down from the car, "Miss Simpson, let me help you to load your bag into our car." "Thank you, Neil!" Adeline handed her bag to Neil. Adeline glanced through the crowd to look for Chloe, but she failed to find her. She then asked Neil, "Neil, have you seen Chloe?" "Nope," Neil said. He stood up and helped Adeline to look for her by giving a glimpse to the crowd. Just as the director was counting the attendance of the entire production crew, Chloe ran over with a bag on her back while panting for breath. "I'm sorry, I'm late!" Chloe gasped as she spoke. Adeline helped Chloe to remove her bag from her shoulder. Smiling, Adeline said, "Did you have insomnia again? Why did you arrive so late today?." After Chloe compose
