These past few years, she thought that she had not given herself away even once. Moreover, with the DNA results as a piece of โevidenceโ, 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, โDonโt tell anyone that I saw these documents, get it? Just treat it as if you didnโt see anything!โAaron slightly stiffened. He obviously did not know of the reason behind her warning. He only knew that she had removed the information about Yunaโs 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.โTo 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 muchโฆ What is the point of doing that?โYuna laughed self-deprecatingly and unaffectedly. โJust 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.โThe hellish period in the welfare center, where she suffered from all kinds of bullying, was a shadow in
The superstarโs large fanbase alone was enough to make up for half the movieโs sales. If one could seize the female lead role, she could definitely rise to stardom!Lin Feng once received the title of โBest Directorโ 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, โDad, I want to discuss something with you; I hope you can approve of it!โHe glanced at his daughter coldly and asked, โWhat is it?โโI want to participate in the audition held by Global Entertainment!โHe was confused. โWhat audition?โโOh, my! Dad, donโt 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 Kingโs 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, โIs this girl from the university? Did she apply? Go search for her name! Immediately inform her to come to the audition!โโDirectorโฆ.โโHuh?โ Lin lifted his head and saw his assistantโs confused look.โWe can just get off the car and personally invite that girl to audition; it will be less work that way,โ he suggested, feeling helpless. This director, was he way too excited?Lin tapped his head and said, โOh, yes! Why didnโt I think of that? It will truly be less work that way!โHe 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 waiterโs 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, โWhoa, she really came!โโHmm? 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 โ 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 tonightโs 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 Azheโs Groupโs 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 โ it was best if she was completely sober โ 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
He missed her a little!During his business trip out of the country, he missed this woman every time of the day.He missed her looking embarrassed, missed her glaring at him in anger, and even more so, missed her slowly blossoming like a flower.She was absolutely enticing.He thought of her so much he seemed to have been poisoned.It appeared that the poison on him could only be cured by her.She was his poison but oh boy, she was also his cure.When he kissed her, the faint fragrance of cigarette smoke lingered between their lips and teeth.Yunaโs heartbeat suddenly increased in pace, and an affectionate blush appeared on her cheeks.At first, the kiss had a domineering feel to it; he kept attacking and she kept retreating. This went on until she reached an impasse.Gradually, his kiss became gentler in seeming comfort of her emotions.Weston sat up halfway, with one hand supporting his body and the other firmly looping around her waist. He shifted slightly and leaned on the sofa la
She was selected by a famous director to be the female lead in a major film without any prior acting experience.Director Lin was a renowned award-winning director in the entertainment industry. He was usually critical with role selection, yet he picked an unknown newcomer this time.No one acted in his show that did not make it big afterward. Many were dying to star in his film, even for a supporting role, without much success.It was not only that. Many stars did not qualify to attend Huanyuโs annual gala, but this Yun Shishi, not only was she personally invited by Gu Xingze, she also appeared as his partner in it. Putting all this aside, just the fact that she could sign a contract directly with Huanyuโs headquarters made many go green with envy.The more frightening thing was that she had a star agent supporting her from behind...It would be a miracle if this newcomer did not shoot to fame.Many newcomers were jealous of her. They were envious of her topnotch resources without ha
Qin Zhou, Yuna, and June had a simple lunch that noon before they returned to the office for a respite.June, after adjusting herself into a comfortable position, took a siesta in the authentic leather chair.Qin Zhou, meanwhile, took this chance to tour Yuna around the headquarters and showed her to each floor.Huanyu Tower soared high into the skies; it was extremely magnificent. Standing at 50-story tall, it was a building within sight but beyond reach.This was her first time taking a closer look at this entertainment empire, which had captured the attention of the entire globe.Huanyu owned two large-scale production companies and three mainstream media outlets. It encompassed everything from movies and soap operas to records. This massive entertainment empire operated entirely within this tower.As the famous star-making factory of peopleโs dreams, those that were signed on Huanyu, whoever they were, would strike ears like the roar of thunder.At present, within the entertainmen
Qin Zhou left after bringing Yuna into the head producerโs office. โHave a seat. We are waiting for one more person.โHe picked up the case file and started reading it after he had said that. Thereโs 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. Guyโs 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. โProducer Lane.โ Lane lifted his wristwatch and took a look before he coolly com
Alexis, who was troubled, noticed that the door to Qin Zhouโs office was ajar. She roamed her eyes and hit upon an idea. Immediately, she put on a saccharine smile and entered the room.โMr. Qin!โShe 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 โMr. Qinโ.He felt a headache coming on once he saw her and rolled his eyes lazily. โWhat?โShe was about to speak when she spotted Yuna signing a contract with her head down. She was stunned and momentarily speechless.โโฆ Huh? Yuna?! Why are you here, too?โโItโs none of your business! Care for yourself first!โ He reminded her coldly.At his reminder, she remembered her purpose for being in his office and cooed, โMr. Qin, you have to help me~โHer velvety voice triggered goosebumps on his skin instead.Donโt act coy if you donโt know how to.As soon as she opened her mouth, he only felt disgust and his flesh creep all over.โWhat
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. โAh, Shishi! Youโre so early!โ โMhm! I couldnโt hail a cab at my doorstep. Luckily, someone let me hitch a ride, so I was able to arrive here on time.โ โSomeone drove you here? Who?โ He was puzzled by the coincidence. โShe seems to be calledโฆ June Moore.โ She learned her name from Youyou. June Moore? He furrowed his brows. โWhere are you staying right now?โ โPrecious Gardens.โ He was flabbergasted. That district was well-known for being a luxury residence in the capital, and she lived there? โThatโs a very luxurious place! How did you manage to buy a property there?โ โI struck the lottery,โ she answered sheepishly without going into details. โโฆ What good luck.โ He let out a sigh from the bottom of his hea
โDo you have any last words?โ 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 โplaymate attachmentsโ 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.โRemember to do a clean job!โโUnderstood, Bro!โHe sniggered, stooped in front of her, and stroked her head in farewell. โEr, poor girl, tell me; why are you so stupid? Itโs not that I donโt want to help you. I know we used to be close in some ways, but you tricked me first, so donโt blame me for being unkind now.โWith 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.โZhe, I want to give myself to you tonight. Will you please take me?โ Manrou walked up to him; her arms slowly circled around the manโs 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. โPut them on.โโโฆ What?โ She looked up and stared into his penetrating orbs in surprise.โPut on your clothes and get lost!โ He said coldly. Before she could react, he roughly grabbed her chin and told her with a look of disgust, โEven if you want this, you have to see if Iโm
@ 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, โYou are finally back!โWeston greeted, โGrandpa.โManrou wanted to speak when she saw him but kept quiet in the end. Grandpa Azhe slammed the table with evident fury.โWhere have you been the past two days?! Do you remember that you still have a home to return to here?!โโIโm busy.โ Weston replied coolly.โBusy?! What were you busy with?! Were you busy with a woman in bed?!โ his grandfather furiously lambasted.Manrou hastily tried to soothe his fury. Gently caressing his rapidly heaving chest, she meekly commented, โGrandpa, donโt be mad. You have to take care of your health! He must have been busy with work in the
