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
He slammed her against the cold wall and she involuntarily squealed in pain. Lowering his head, he captured her lips and explored the insides of her mouth with the tip of his tongue.The perfect harmony between this man and woman emerged without a care.He held her cheeks tightly, seemingly wanting her to know that he had purposely been rough with her. Simply put, he was not gentle at all.He wanted her to be more alert – it was best if she was completely sober – so she could take a good look at who he was and at how he would own her.He hated this woman to the core.He absolutely hated her casual and frivolous behavior.If he had not appeared in the nick of time, what would have happened in this room tonight?If she were not with him at present, then how would she display her charms to another man?Just thinking about it made his blood boil uncontrollably.He held her soft hips and bit her lips even more brutally.She was no longer that young virgin, and, even more so, her body was n
Qin Zhou left after bringing Yuna into the head producer’s office. “Have a seat. We are waiting for one more person.”He picked up the case file and started reading it after he had said that. There’s someone else, too?Who can it be?Am I not the only one signing a contract today?She sat in the chair and examined her surroundings. With everything neatly lined up along the shelf, the office interior appeared minimalist in design. There were a few photo frames hanging on the wall, which displayed the latest first-tier stars of Huanyu. Guy’s portrait was among this lineup. Many books and record albums were on the bookshelf. In front of the sofa was a low-square table with a high-class teapot set on it. A knock was heard on the door.She looked over quizzically and saw June walked in. Seeing her, Yuna smiled in acknowledgement and June nodded in return. She closed the door and took a seat beside her. “Producer Lane.” Lane lifted his wristwatch and took a look before he coolly com
Alexis, who was troubled, noticed that the door to Qin Zhou’s office was ajar. She roamed her eyes and hit upon an idea. Immediately, she put on a saccharine smile and entered the room.“Mr. Qin!”She decided to butter him up sweetly upon stepping inside.Qin Zhou held Huanyu shares; therefore, those artistes and staff with lower ranks had to address him as ‘Mr. Qin’.He felt a headache coming on once he saw her and rolled his eyes lazily. “What?”She was about to speak when she spotted Yuna signing a contract with her head down. She was stunned and momentarily speechless.“… Huh? Yuna?! Why are you here, too?”“It’s none of your business! Care for yourself first!” He reminded her coldly.At his reminder, she remembered her purpose for being in his office and cooed, “Mr. Qin, you have to help me~”Her velvety voice triggered goosebumps on his skin instead.Don’t act coy if you don’t know how to.As soon as she opened her mouth, he only felt disgust and his flesh creep all over.“What
Having very few friends, she treasured this seldom-received kindness. She lowered her gaze to look at the time. She was still early for the interview. As she exited the elevator, Agent Qin seemed to have just reached the company as well. He was quite surprised to see her. “Ah, Shishi! You’re so early!” “Mhm! I couldn’t hail a cab at my doorstep. Luckily, someone let me hitch a ride, so I was able to arrive here on time.” “Someone drove you here? Who?” He was puzzled by the coincidence. “She seems to be called… June Moore.” She learned her name from Youyou. June Moore? He furrowed his brows. “Where are you staying right now?” “Precious Gardens.” He was flabbergasted. That district was well-known for being a luxury residence in the capital, and she lived there? “That’s a very luxurious place! How did you manage to buy a property there?” “I struck the lottery,” she answered sheepishly without going into details. “… What good luck.” He let out a sigh from the bottom of his hea
“Do you have any last words?” The man looked at her sympathetically. After all, she had followed them since she was in junior high and inevitably gave raise to having some ‘playmate attachments’ toward her.This was a rare moment of kindness from him.She shook her wan face; she did not want to die!However, he mistook that for not having any parting words and signaled the men beside him with his eyes.“Remember to do a clean job!”“Understood, Bro!”He sniggered, stooped in front of her, and stroked her head in farewell. “Er, poor girl, tell me; why are you so stupid? It’s not that I don’t want to help you. I know we used to be close in some ways, but you tricked me first, so don’t blame me for being unkind now.”With that, he stood up and watched his henchmen drag the two away.She desperately kicked her legs in an attempt to escape as she broke down into tears.A freighter was moored quietly in the harbor.Qiang was not a typical ruffian. He had powerful connections to the mafia an
She shyly and gently undid the buttons on her dress and slowly shifted closer to him.The long dress slipped off her body, falling to the ground in a heap as she inched her way to him. She was totally nude; her fair skin and smooth body became totally exposed in the cold, crisp air.A veil of anger flashed across his face as the pupils in his eyes contracted.“Zhe, I want to give myself to you tonight. Will you please take me?” Manrou walked up to him; her arms slowly circled around the man’s sturdy waist, and she gently placed her soft lips on his chest.She tried to melt his hardened heart with her sweet tenderness. As she was hoping for Weston to make the next move, his frosty voice was heard over her head. “Put them on.”“… What?” She looked up and stared into his penetrating orbs in surprise.“Put on your clothes and get lost!” He said coldly. Before she could react, he roughly grabbed her chin and told her with a look of disgust, “Even if you want this, you have to see if I’m
@ The Azhe residence.Weston parked the car in the garage, and walked into the main hall. There, he saw Manrou and his grandpa waiting for him.Grandmaster Azhe was sitting on the master seat with a grim face. Manrou was kneeled beside him, carefully massaging and kneading his legs from time to time.The moment he saw his grandson enter, he snorted angrily and confronted, “You are finally back!”Weston greeted, “Grandpa.”Manrou wanted to speak when she saw him but kept quiet in the end. Grandpa Azhe slammed the table with evident fury.“Where have you been the past two days?! Do you remember that you still have a home to return to here?!”“I’m busy.” Weston replied coolly.“Busy?! What were you busy with?! Were you busy with a woman in bed?!” his grandfather furiously lambasted.Manrou hastily tried to soothe his fury. Gently caressing his rapidly heaving chest, she meekly commented, “Grandpa, don’t be mad. You have to take care of your health! He must have been busy with work in the
With an eerie laughter, he threw the stack of photos he was holding into the air and said, “Chop her into pieces and feed her to the sharks instead. She will not be missed!”His voice was dark and sullen. The words that came pouring out of his mouth were cold and chilling, sending shivers down their backs!Receiving the shock of her life, Nasi scampered behind Qiang.Her mother, who was standing at the door, also held her breath in fear.The eyes he used to look at Nasi were filled with hatred and cruelty. It was as if she were an utterly filthy thing.“Little boy… Are you kidding me?” Dumbstruck, the gangster could only laugh dryly.How can someone be so ruthless at such a young age? This is really scary.“Am I kidding you?” He threw the question back in a low tone. “Why would I tell you a meaningless joke when my time is precious?”“Then…” The man cleared his throat. He was starting to be awestruck at this six- or seven-year-old lad. Licking his upper lip flap, he continued, “You me
“What did you say? Why should I explain anything to you?”As Qiang asked these questions, he looked up to survey the crowd outside the room and rudely demanded, “Whose kid came running in here? Take him back right away!”The crowd immediately scattered from shock.Youyou said sternly, “You’re here to get your money back, aren’t you?! Explain yourself clearly; I’ll pay you the money!”“Where would a kid like you get the dough from?”“I have the money.” Mr.Hanlin stepped forward from behind the boy with a smile.The gangster was even more confused.Nasi seemed to have detected a ray of hope from this. She pointed to the little boy at once and blurted out, “He… He is my sister’s son!”“Oh? Yuna is your mommy?”“You don’t need to be too concerned with me. I’m asking you; how much does she owe you?” the boy questioned seriously. He spared no attention to Nasi; it was as if looking at her once would pollute his eyes.“500,000$.”The boy turned to the side and lowered his voice, “Mr. Hanlin.
What kind of kinship? Was it the kind where his mother had to suffer their bullying for the past two decades and more? Or was it the mocking and sarcasm he had to hear from them? He could not forget the dark and heavy memories of his childhood. If that was what she was referring to as kinship… He smiled lazily and said, “Alright, then, for the sake of kinship.” “You…” “Which room is it?” It might be due to Youyou’s exceptional charisma, or she must be under a spell, for she woodenly replied to him, “502…” “Let’s go.” He faced his agent and gave this instruction. Mr. Hanlin immediately followed behind. He was actually keen to find out what kind of a tragic ending the mother-daughter pair would have. The agent turned around and glanced pathetically at Lisa, offering a few seconds of silent condolences in his heart. It was not good to offend Youyou, this little demon king. One would not know how death come about. Lisa could not be blamed for creeping her way here for help. Sh
