He looked up just in time to see her hide behind Guy like a startled cat, totally unnerving him. She was so wary of him, yet she was so close to another man. That really put him off. He gave her one last penetrating look before turning away and leisurely occupying the sofa. The atmosphere was bizarre and awkward for a moment. Little Yuki stood at the side, his handsome little face also showing a trace of disdain. Somehow, he felt unhappy at the knowledge that Yuna was Guy’s partner. He felt that she would be more compatible with his father and was startled by this thought. Oh, god… Why did he have such a thought? It was too ridiculous. Still, somehow, he felt a strange and unexplainable closeness to the woman.Why? The little lad was thrown off his guard. The two were indeed father and son; they had the same demanding temperament of wanting to have their ways. Manrou swept her haughty eyes around the room. Her gaze fell on Yuna and felt a thorn in her eyes. The elegant gown o
Weston was out to challenge Guy.Guy’s face turned a shade darker; a chilly look flashed across his usually calm and collected demeanor.He knitted his brows tightly and turned to face Weston. Both men stared at each other; the atmosphere was charged with explosive.“Director, this gown is displayed in the shop, yet it is not for sale. What’s the meaning of this?”Weston arched his lips into a graceful smile and slowly stood up. “To sell or not to sell, it’s my prerogative. No one can interfere with my decision.” The room was once again charged by his commanding presence and tyrannical action.Guy’s eyes were full of hostility, and his muscles turned palpably rigid. As he was about to speak, Yuna tugged at his sleeve.He was startled into looking down and saw her pleasant smile. She calmly told him, “Guy, thank you for your kindness, but I think I’ll return the gown.”“Don’t you worry; the dress suits you—”“I still prefer the gown that Qin and you have selected earlier… I really like
“Take it off.”One heartless command from him pinned her to the spot in utter embarrassment.“Why?”“Did I give you permission to wear this?” He snorted.Her face turned stiff and ugly.She did not understand; he had always given in to her demands. She could have whatever she wanted. He always spoiled her and would agree to anything she asked for – even if it was unreasonable.Why was he suddenly so cold and distant toward her?“Why? Why must I take it off? You mean I can’t compare to her? That b*tch—”“Take it off. I’ll give you five minutes to change into another dress.” With that, he fixed his gaze on his wristwatch. He was counting the time down.“I won’t!” She was on the verge of tears. “I like this. I am going to wear this to the gala tonight!”He frostily said, “I have limited patience.”“Zhe…” She was alarmed. He had never been heartless to her before.Yuna must have been a vixen incarnate. All men have been bewitched by her.“One minute left,” he coldly warned.This was a hin
Nasi could not make out what they were talking about, but she knew that she was currently the center of attention with the many jealous pairs of eyes looking at her. Her heart was smug as she strutted to the entrance with her head high and ample bust raised. She was politely blocked by the concierge at the door, however.“How are you, madam? Kindly show your gala invitation card, please.”Nasi was momentarily thrown off but quickly recovered herself. With her proud chin lifted high, she sneered at the man. “What is the meaning of this? Are you asking me for an invitation card? Do you think I’ll attend this gala without an invitation?”“Sorry, madam, you have misunderstood. Asking for an invitation card from a guest is one of the protocols for tonight.” The concierge’s face continued to smile politely, though there were doubts in his eyes.Rigorous entry protocols were being followed for tonight’s gala. This was to prevent the young, naïve, and unpopular models and starlets from gatecra
Guy and Yuna made their way to the middle of the venue. Gripping a golden pen, he drew an elegant signature at the center of the signature board. The gala’s red-carpet event had, thus, ended.She had many butterflies in her stomach and took several deep breaths in secret. It was too stressful being his female partner.Security was fortunately tight for tonight’s gala. Non-attendees, reporters, paparazzi, and staff were not permitted entry, so Guy’s fans were kept outside.If this were not the case, she might receive quite a bit of trouble.However, despite the tight security, throughout the red-carpet event, she felt uneasy over those envious eyes trained on her.Guy was an excellent idol. The scandals he had were close to none. His usual image was that of an aloof and handsome man, and because of this, several female reporters got smitten with him.However, tonight, the superstar standing next to a newcomer had a gentle smile, which could only appear in movie scenes, on his lips, and
Very satisfied with his grandson, Grandpa Azhe transferred most of Dice’s shares under Weston’s name before the latter even reached adulthood. His only request was for him to marry Manrou.He was not in any position to refuse.It was only up to this point that everything was in upheaval because of that woman.When it came to business, Weston was the elite of the elites. He was ruthless and charismatic. Dice Financial Group held the fate of the financial market.His thirst for conquest was perfectly displayed in this aspect.Right now, he discovered that one woman could equally stir up the same thirst in him.This was especially the case when Yuna Shire, with her exceptional beauty, appeared before him tonight. Her every look and smile moved him deeply.With just one look, he was blown away!Her smile was not meant for him, though. It was meant for that peasant, Guy.His thoughts strayed to that night six years ago as he looked at her. She had anxiously lain in the bed, blindfolded. Sh
One after another, the guests crowded at the scene, buzzing with curiosity. The media hounds were drawn to the commotion too.The atmosphere was tense.Many of them wanted to see Yuna make a fool of herself.Nasi, with her ashen face, carefully opened her eyes to look. Yuna was staring at her with a chilly expression that she had never seen before. She was taken aback by this. Her adoptive sister was usually sweet and gentle and would never shoot her such a deadly look. She retreated a step in fear.“Sis…”Splatter!Before she could regain her composure, an expressionless Yuna went up to her and, with a tilt of her wrist, poured the wine in her glass on Nasi’s head.Drip…The cold liquid drenched her.The crowd let out a gasp at this spectacle.Nasi was unprepared for her usually meek and defenseless sister to suddenly retaliate by drenching her with wine in front of all these people.She furiously lifted her head toward her sister, who was looking at her frigidly. “You! How dare you?
Nasi was surprised and touched by this gesture. She smiled gratefully through her tears. “Lee, thank you!”“Come, dry your tears. Your makeup is going to be ruined,” he kindly reminded her.She hung onto his shirt cuff as if he were her last straw of hope. She implored, “It was unintentional; please believe me. I really didn’t do it on purpose.”He nodded seriously. “Yes, I saw.”Lee then turned to Yuna with a reproachful look. “She didn’t do it on purpose, yet you drenched her with your wine. Don’t you think that’s a little vicious?”Yuna raised an eyebrow in mock surprise. “Oh, I’m vicious?”Other actresses who were standing at his side added to Lee’s defense, “Yuna, that is too much! Do you think you can get away with it just because you are given preferential treatment? You are such a bully!”Guy frowned at their accusation and looked at Yuna, who looked calm and collected in his arms. He was about to confront the two, but she stopped him.Holding on his arm, she calmly told the r
