"Look over there. Those are all supermodels from Europe and America!" The man pointed in another direction and said,
"And those women over there; are all new but outstanding supermodels from our country Carrivile Country" Steven said to his brother
Levi looked up at him with an utterly uninterested expression on his cold face.
"When can we leave or should I say when are we leaving?"
"Are you so unwilling to stay here? Wait, I don't understand you again brother. What kind of women do you like? You refused the highly cultured ladies; the very beautiful socialites of Carrivile, you rejected them"
"Again, you said you don't like the gentle and dignified female doctors; you are not interested in female elites either; and you are not bothered to even sneak a glance at even the famous actresses."
Steven said all at once
" But Brother, at least I'm begging you let one of these supermodels here be able to attract your attention. You would be able to pick one, right?"
Steven asked, throwing his hands up in defeat.
If it weren't for their mother, Mrs. Stone's request, he wouldn't have brought Levi here to see all these women.
In fact, he had no interest in being at this party either, because it was that he was interested; he would have mixed among the business men talking about their business plans and their investments with other companies.
Or rather still, he would have flirted with these beautiful ladies with his smooth talks and aloofness by swaying her hearts and making them weak in the knees.
But in his eyes, it was better for him to stay at home and play his favorite video games. Why did he have to spend time with this iceberg instead?
Levi likewise was not interested in this party at all. The only reason why he hadn't refused the invitation today was because of that woman who had been relentlessly lingering in his mind. He wanted to find a distraction to help him drive that woman out of his mind. He thinking of her is driving him crazy
He opened his eyes leisurely and looked in the direction at which Steven was pointing.
"What do you think? Aren't they beautiful?" Steve asked excitedly.
"Look at their long legs. Ohhh and their nicely shaped bodies which can give you the heaven experience." Steve said dreamily
"They're ordinary" Levi said
"What the f, bro" Steve said
Steven's excitement and confidence about his brother finding a woman himself and him finding a woman for his brother plummet, it was as if the bubbles in his heart burst with him hearing the sound "Pak"
" What did you just say, Steve" Levi asked
Steven was very scared of his brother, not just because he is the current helmsman of the Stone's Family and also the head of the Stone's Corporation but because of his cold aura and ruthless way of punishing those that offend him. So, he quickly replied him "I said humph"
Levi glanced at his brother as if to say I heard what you said previously, but to avoid being caught, Steven quickly looked away from his brother
" Well, is there anyone you like in particular?"
"Anyone that interests you"
Steven asked curiously, treading cautiously
"If there is, I will help you!" He quickly added
At this moment, many of the supermodels standing in front felt a pair of eyes on them and turned around. When they saw Levi's handsome face, they felt flattered and raised their glasses to him.
Some of them even ogled at him. While some of them tried to twist their waist while walking to show him how flexible it is.
"They're all ordinary women, " Levi said again, casually with a slight shake of his head.
Steven touched his forehead and sighed.
"Well, I know that in your heart, the woman on your marriage certificate is the most beautiful woman in the world! No one can compete with her!"
Even now, he still couldn't believe that his brother had a wife.
"Well, in that case, I might as well go home and play video games. Do you want to go back with me or do you want to stay for a few more minutes?"
Levi was about to reply when he saw a familiar figure talking and laughing not far away. It was the woman he had seen on the street today, but instead of that thick coat, she was wearing a long dress that outlined her extraordinarily graceful figure.
He paused.
Taken aback, Steven looked in the direction of Levi's gaze, only to see several men chatting with glasses of wine in their hands.
Levi looked away as if nothing had happened and said, "You can go back first. I'll stay a little longer"
"Brother, what did you say" Steven asked
"I said you can go and I'll stay here for a while" Levi replied
" Alright, but are you sure you can take good care of you since no one interests you and so that you won't be schemed against" Steven said carefully
" I already said you can go but you can make me change my mind. Rather, I think it's better you stay to accompany me with nonsense talks." Levi said to his brother with a hard glare
" Bro, I'm already going. No, I'm even on way, take care; and lest I forget my talks are not nonsense talks but motivational talks" Steven said standing up to leave the venue
After his brother left, Levi sat down in a dark corner of the hall.
The woman had disappeared from his sight, but he waited patiently. As long as she was here, he would see her sooner or later, right?
Most of the judges at the banquet were from Europe and America.
They were all whispering amongst themselves, discussing their thoughts about the models present.
This party was a good chance for Ashley, who had stayed in the United States for five years, to forge connections and make a good impression. She could speak fluent English, and barely communicated in other languages, so she was good at dealing with such a situation.
With a glass of wine in hand, she chatted with the others. When she had time to rest, she saw Maria walking towards her in a hurry.
"Ashley, you left in a hurry just now. I didn't have the chance to give this to you!" Maria handed an exquisitely-packaged box to her. "Our company has prepared this gift for every model who is attending this party. You can give it to any of the judges to express your gratitude and leave them a good impression of both you and our company"Ashley took the box with a graceful smile."Thank you, Maria. I'll go ahead, then"Looking at Ashley's receding figure, Maria let out a sigh of relief.She had no choice but to follow Lucia's orders, because she was the boss and anyone that wants to survive in this industry must do according to her bidding. She felt pity for Ashley since she had both the looks and the talent needed to become a successful model, so it would not be difficult for her to get selected.But it stills baffles Maria how Ashley offended Lucia that the latter wants to cut off her wings before she can even fly. “There is nothing I can do for her my hands are crossed. I hope
That mysterious woman had finally shown up again!Except for a quick glance in the afternoon, the two of them hadn't seen each other for five years.In Levi's mind, she was still the childlike girl who had said she had a little favor to ask him in the Civil Affairs Bureau.With coldness in his eyes, he asked slowly,"Do I know you?"A trace of sadness flashed in Ashley's eyes. It turned out that he had forgotten everything.But it didn't matter. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she didn't expect him to remember her."Mr. Stone, my name is Ashley. Ashley Brown" But it was very painful that he does not remember her even after what they shared that evening which later produced Alex, her handsome son. The thought of Alex brought calmness to Ashleys disturbed mind.She felt she can understand his plight since she left him in a very unreasonable manner that belittles his dignity as a man.The thought of Alex brought calmness to Ashleys disturbed mind."Five years ago, I got t
Realizing that Levi wasn't willing to give her his phone number, Ashley faltered slightly, and a touch of regret and disappointment flashed through her eyes. Just when she was about to withdraw her hand, however, he reached out and took the gift box."Mr. Stone!" Ashley exclaimed with renewed joy in her eyes. "I’ve written my phone number there. Please contact me after you cool off or when you feel you are ready to listen to what I have to say""Do you think the anger of five years can disappear in a moment?" Levi took the gift, clenching it with his slender fingers, and then set his glass down on the table with a thud, got up, and strode out of the hall.He tightened his grip on the gift box until his blue veins protruded from his fingers.“Anger of five years” Ashley wondered in confusion. Hadn't he said that he didn't remember her? In that case, how could he be angry at her for five years? Perhaps he did remember her, but he hated her for leaving without informing him. She had prob
Maria could sense a lot of hostility between the two of them. No wonder Lucia had given her such a ruthless task as soon as she had seen Ashley.Lucia's lips curved up into a gentle smile. "Yes, I like this job. She turned to Maria and said, Miss Maria, Ashley is my very good sister. Please take care of her for my sake, okay?"Maria eyed Lucias pretentious attitude but she had no choice but to respond to her Miss Brown. It is wonderful for you to trust me with your very good sister. Be sure that I would take very good care of her for your sake she said playing more emphasis on the I would take good care of her for your sake Ashley had already known that it wouldn't be easy for her to develop her career in Cariville Country. Since she in the Browns territory specially under the care of their precious little miss because she know that Luci
In the Brown's Mansion. Everyone was in a festive mood. Because today, the eldest daughter of the Brown's family, Ashley, was finally getting married to her beloved fiance, Henry Thompson. The reflection in the mirror showed her finely carved features. She was like a masterpiece drawn by God on a canvas. She was wearing a strapless wedding dress that enhanced her collarbones and made them more eye-catching. The carefully tailored wedding dress hugged her slender figure tightly. And its beautiful, full-length ruffles made the twenty-year-old Ashley to look more feminine. Ashley decided to marry Henry, the man she has been betrothed to since she was 18 years. Although she had drunk a lot at her bridal shower last night, she still got up early to freshen up not to present a drunken bride to everyone and also to uphold the prestige of her family. The day was breaking, and the sky was just turning bright outside as the sun was beginning to rise slowly from the east. "Miss Ashley, ev
Mark tried to pacify Amelia and Lucia, eyeing Ashley by the side. He then waved his big hand to a servant nearby and ordered, "Call the family doctor over to check what type of drug this is" with the thought to prove Lucia innocent He knew that his two daughters had never gotten along. Ashley, the daughter of his first wife, was the spoiled one, while Lucia, the daughter of his second wife, was more tolerant. Only with solid evidence could they solve this conflict. The family doctor rushed over with some of his assistants thinking it was an emergency that needed rapt attention. But on arrival he was told to certain whether the pill is aspirin or some drug gotten from the black market. "Lucia, give me your phone, " Mark added. "Ashley knocked it to the ground! I haven't touched it until now, Lucia cried pitifully. Mark picked up the phone from the ground and opened the call log. It showed that a call had been made around ten minutes ago, and the time matched what Ashley had claim
Ashley used her other hand to pinch Lucia's chin, forcing her to open her mouth wide. There was a rare coldness in Ashley's lazy voice when she said, "No matter what you say this drug is, it's yours now! She then let go of Lucia's wrist, picked up the cup of water that contains the already dissolved aspirin, and poured it into Lucia's mouth. Lucia struggled desperately, shaking her head. But she couldn't break free from Ashley's grip, so she had no other choice but to let Ashley shove the content in the cup into her mouth indiscriminately. "I didn't... Ashley... You... Let go of me!" Lucia was choking and coughing nonstop. With a pitiful look on her face, she shook her head vigorously. The door suddenly opened, and a handsome man strode in. Seeing the scene, he immediately grabbed Ashley's wrist and pulled her away from Lucia. He was utterly surprised. "Ashley, what is this that you are doing?" "Henry, you're just in time. This bitch here echanged the aspirin to some drug sold
Ashley looked again at her father, who had always been nice to her and had never hurt her! Mark's face turned livid with anger. "Ashley, I know that you've always had a grudge against Lucia. But I never expected that you'd come up with such a vicious plan to frame her and destroy her image in my heart. It's all my fault. I'm the one who always coddled you and let you become so devious!" He had lost all his trust in Ashley. Covering her burning cheek, Ashley looked up to Henry, hoping that at least he would believe her. Today, he was her groom, so he would certainly believe her. "Henry..." Before she could finish her words, however, she was interrupted by Henry. His gentle face was serious at the moment, and his mellow eyes had turned cold. He said in a heavy voice, "Ashley, you've really disappointed me" He looked at Ashley ruthlessly, as if he was looking at a stranger. But when he turned to Lucia, his eyes filled with intense sympathy and pity. Ashley was shocked by his word
Maria could sense a lot of hostility between the two of them. No wonder Lucia had given her such a ruthless task as soon as she had seen Ashley.Lucia's lips curved up into a gentle smile. "Yes, I like this job. She turned to Maria and said, Miss Maria, Ashley is my very good sister.

With her long legs and strong but slender figure, Ashley was particularly eye- catching in the crowd."Ashley, come here, " Maria called excitedly. "You look even more graceful now than when you were on the stage. You're really a treasure."Maria was happy. She was able to get a model a beautiful one at that, so she wanted her to look more beautiful and show her off to everyone by bringing her out."Thank you, Maria. I'l count on your care and help in the future, " Ashley said, raising the corners of her delicate red lips into a smile."Of course. You are my model now. Go inside. You should first establish a basic friendship with the interviewers tonight and try to pass the initial test in a few days," Maria smiled.Ashley nodded and walked along the red carpet. She had done this before, so she was not anxious at all. She walked in a calm and elegant manner, exuding confidence from every inch of her body. She walked as if she was born a model and with grace and also as if the runway
Levi trudged back to his car. He sat in the driver's seat with his eyes closed a long time before he finally calmed down.The sudden sound of his phone ringing interrupted his train of thought. He picked up the phone and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom."Mrs Emily Stone, an elegant woman. She has been the head of the family for years since the death of Levi's father. So the family has been directed by her firm grip, she left the position for Levi 6 years ago when she knew he was matured enough to lead the family."Hi Son. Can we meet. I have something important to discuss with you." Mrs Stone said excitedly on the phone " Alright Mom. Where do you want us to meet" he replied her"At the restaurant opposite your company that your employees visit during lunch""Okay Ma. See you soon" he hung up the call In a fancy restaurant, the elegant Mrs. Stone looked at her son's long face, and asked worriedly, "What happened?""Nothing! Levi lowered his head and cut the steak carefully, but his mov
As she was going, she was thinking about the car that she just saw at the entrance. The person driving that car looks so much like Levi.Just then the same the car passed her, Ashley immediately recognized the man who was sitting in the driver's seat. It was her husband, Levi! She is 100 percent sure that the person she saw at the restaurant and in the car previously was him.It seemed that he was more mature than five years ago, and temperament seemed to be calmer and wiser than before. She had always known that he had a handsome face, but she had never thought that even his side profile would look this good. His sharp jawline looked perfect. even at a glance, his"Levi!" she cried out without thinking. Hearing this, the man turned his head sideways and shot her a cold glance, but then he turned back to the front and continued to step on the accelerator without looking at her anymore. The car quickly moved forward.In just a moment, he had already put considerable distance between h
Immediately, they left for the restroom. She caught a glimpse of what looked like the back view of Levi. But she could not ascertain if he was the one, because the man was escorted into the private room of the restaurant so she was not able to see his face."It can't be Levi. He is just a driver, I must have been thinking a lot about him which makes me think that all men looks like Levi" She thought Few minutes later, Audrey and Alex came back from the restroom. They paid for the food they are and left the restaurant.Ashley had worked as a model in the United States for many years and made some money. Now, she spent all her money on this house in order to secure the life of her son, Alex.She knew that Levi was just a driver. It would be a heavy burden for him to bear the responsibility of being a father when he was totally unprepared.That was why she had to get everything ready earlier on her own.On getting outside the restaurant. Ashley said goodbye to her Son. She squatted in f
