The elderly man took out a similar keepsake to the jade she was holding. When the two were put together, they fit perfectly.She was unaware of the jade’s importance and simply lied that it was something her mother had left for her. The elderly man believed her words and brought her back to the family residence, naming her Manrou Azhe and just as quickly setting her as Weston’s fiancée when he was fourteen…*****Back to the present, in the CEO’s office, Manrou weakly dropped down on the sofa. She supported her forehead with a palm as cold sweat drenched her back.She tightly gripped the documents in her hand, her fingertips shuddering out of her control. She was very flustered.She could not guess why he had someone investigate all this. Could he have noticed something unusual about her origin, and he started to cast doubt on her real identity despite her being brought back by Grandpa Azhe personally back then?Her heart jumped once she considered this possibility.In actuality, she
These past few years, she thought that she had not given herself away even once. Moreover, with the DNA results as a piece of ‘evidence’, she had nothing that would cause suspicion.Manrou quickly cast her doubt away, but the weight did not lift off her shoulders.Could it be because of that child? Perhaps, Weston had known all along that the child was alive and was only hidden away by that woman, so he had someone investigate her identity when he suspected her of harboring malicious intentions toward the his family.It was surely because of that!Manrou suddenly raised her head. She looked at Aaron while feigning her calmness, and coldly ordered, “Don’t tell anyone that I saw these documents, get it? Just treat it as if you didn’t see anything!”Aaron slightly stiffened. He obviously did not know of the reason behind her warning. He only knew that she had removed the information about Yuna’s life at the welfare center ten years ago and her son Yun, from the pile. Not lifting her head
Her friend nodded in agreement. She brought the mother-son pair to a western restaurant that she used to patronize, and booked a private room.After ordering, Zula hurriedly pulled her into the washroom to probe. Yuna did not want to hide anything from her, so she just laid everything bare to her without going into much detail.Her friend listened until her heart ached terribly.“To actually treat you like that, your stepmom is simply too cruel and unscrupulous! Six years ago, when my dad told me about how the Shire family was able to pay off all their bulging debts within a year, I thought it was strange. Never did I expect that you sacrificed so much… What is the point of doing that?”Yuna laughed self-deprecatingly and unaffectedly. “Just showing my gratitude. Moreover, these are all in the past. Since I did it for the family, it counted as me repaying my dad for bringing me up.”The hellish period in the welfare center, where she suffered from all kinds of bullying, was a shadow in
The superstar’s large fanbase alone was enough to make up for half the movie’s sales. If one could seize the female lead role, she could definitely rise to stardom!Lin Feng once received the title of ‘Best Director’ in the Global Film Festival, so as long as he supported the female star, that person was guaranteed a bright future.Many artistes had been racking their brains for ways to enter his production.At night time, Nasi also brought up this matter to her family.During dinner, she suddenly put down her utensils and seriously looked at her father, “Dad, I want to discuss something with you; I hope you can approve of it!”He glanced at his daughter coldly and asked, “What is it?”“I want to participate in the audition held by Global Entertainment!”He was confused. “What audition?”“Oh, my! Dad, don’t you know? Global Productions has invested on a film adaptation of a famous novel. The male lead is already set to be Guy King. Now, the director is conducting a nationwide search fo
Although the audition was held on a weekend, upon learning that the superstar Guy King would personally make an appearance at the audition venue, all his die-hard fans came. There were even quite a few devoted ones who had come from places far away.The production crew did not expect his popularity to be over the top. Even with the presence of security to maintain order, it was still not enough to hold back his aggressive fandom.As big a building as the Global Tower, it was instantly filled with a huge crowd. Fan-support slogans hung on walls and tree branches outside the building.It was as if the entire Global Entertainment was trampled over by Guy King’s fandom army.At the posh entrance of Global Entertainment, several luxurious cars were parked.Among these was a nanny van; in it were three men in casual attire gazing at the bustling crowd, which was mainly made up of female university students, by the building entrance.They were all here for the audition. Each of them wore glam
The moment their eyes met, the girl suddenly became flustered. Agitated, she tightly clenched her handbag as she bit her lower lip and started pacing about.However, it was precisely this natural expression of hers which made one think that she was quite cute.Yin Zi!Lin Feng was suddenly overwhelmed with admiration!This girl was simply Yin Zi in the flesh!Thrilled, Lin reached his hand out to grab the name list he had thrown aside and asked excitedly, “Is this girl from the university? Did she apply? Go search for her name! Immediately inform her to come to the audition!”“Director….”“Huh?” Lin lifted his head and saw his assistant’s confused look.“We can just get off the car and personally invite that girl to audition; it will be less work that way,” he suggested, feeling helpless. This director, was he way too excited?Lin tapped his head and said, “Oh, yes! Why didn’t I think of that? It will truly be less work that way!”He immediately got off the car, but when he looked in
As she walked by, she saw men and women having adventures with their bodies. The air was filled with an overwhelming foul smell. The private rooms have groups of people giving in to sensual pleasures.Under a waiter’s lead, she walked into the private room the man on the phone had mentioned to her. She had just stepped foot inside the room and her nose was immediately assailed by a fishy odor mixed with alcohol and smoke. The room was filled entirely with fumes. The sound systems were on full blast. A few hooligans with the trendiest hairstyles were stripped to their waists, drowning themselves in alcohol.Sweeping her eyes across the room, she immediately caught sight of the tipsy Nasi lying on one side of the sofa. She was out cold.Some of the hooligans sensed her arrival and consecutively lifted their heads, whistling lewdly, “Whoa, she really came!”“Hmm? This chick is quite pretty! Has got a nice body to boot! She looks better than those b*t
Six-star Crowne Hotel.Within the presidential suite, what one could see were luxurious fixtures – stylish, elegant, and extravagant to the core.At a VIP table in the banquet hall, Weston expressionlessly looked at the ugly faces of hypocrisy around him as irritability bubbled within him.Unknowingly, the bottle of wine was half-emptied, and the sky outside the window had turned dark.He was more annoyed with those around him than tired. He downed the rest of the vodka in his glass and stood up.When the others saw this, they exchanged glances and stood up as well.He was the star of tonight’s celebration. Him leaving meant that this banquet was over.As the director and CEO of Dice Financial Group, he had a lofty status and held the highest authority in the Azhe Group.In the midst of the current global economic crisis and facing the onslaught of this financial turmoil, the lifeline of their small companies was in the Azhe’s Group’s hands.The life and death of their petty enterprise
