Loke couldn’t figure out what Lucas wanted from Coco. She was just an average girl. Still, Lucas had left the decision to break up to Coco, which meant that Lucas had genuine feelings for Coco. It wouldn’t be hard for Coco to fall in love with a man like Lucas. Loke smiled bitterly and wondered if he had lost Coco completely. The woman who used to blush hard at his slightest touch wouldn’t love him anymore. Meanwhile, in the ward, Minnie was still staring at Lucas. “Are you really Prince Lucas?” Minnie asked with a trembling voice. “Prince? It's just a nickname others gave me. You don't need to call me that.” Lucas smiled. “Thank you for sending someone to save Coco today, Mr. Gomez. If not, she could have been killed.” Minnie was still shaken by the incident. “Jane is a vicious woman! She’ll probably get bailed out quickly even though she was apprehended.” “No, she won’t,” Lucas said calmly.“Is that so? Jane has connections. It should be easy for her to get bailed,” Minnie s
The simple sentence filled Coco's heart with warmth. The feeling of being protected like this was truly wonderful, even though she knew she was only his girlfriend in name."Thank you," her voice choked slightly."There's no need to thank me. Like I said, you're my girlfriend," he said.She took a deep breath, looked directly into his eyes, and said seriously, "But are you sure you want me as your girlfriend? I... I didn't know who you were before, but I do now. You're actually the crown prince of the entertainment industry. Surely people will feel suspicious if you have a girlfriend like me. I'm worried I might mess up your plan.""Who I choose as my girlfriend is my business. Who cares what other people think? All you have to do is act like you love me in public," Lucas said. "Of course, if you're having second thoughts, or if there's someone you like, you can tell me."Coco quickly shook her head, "No, there's no one I like!""Not even Loke Clark?" Lucas asked. "I know you guy
"But what if my love is too deep for me to take back..." he murmured, his long eyelashes gently lowering, partially covering his deep and profound eyes.Coco wondered what was on his mind. Was he thinking about that woman he used to love very deeply?Loke said that Lucas would no longer date anyone because of the woman he loved. He even risked his life to save her, and... would never get married because of her!How deep was his love for that woman? Even the purpose of this relationship of theirs... was probably for that woman."What's wrong?" he suddenly asked.Coco realized with a jolt that she had been staring at him in a daze. When he looked up, he had caught her staring."N-Nothing, I was just thinking that, after what you said to Loke, he probably won't bother me anymore." After a pause, and hurriedly said, as if she had thought of something, "I... I know that you weren't serious. I know that you don't really love me, so don't worry... I'm not gonna misunderstand. After we b
Therefore, even when the lawyer tried to pull some strings, he failed. Jane looked confused. She... She didn't remember doing anything to offend the Gomez family. Even if she did incite other actors to boycott the filming, it was just an internal matter within the crew. There was no conflict of interest with the Gomez family.What in the world was going on? So many weird things happened today. First, that personal assistant called Macy Yates saved Coco at the set and immediately called the cops to arrest her, and now, it seemed like the Gomez family was targeting her!Jane had so many questions. She directed all her resentment at Coco. If it weren't for that woman, she would not have ended up like this! She would make Coco Souza pay!Coco didn't expect to fall asleep right after closing her eyes!And she had slept so... peacefully!She remembered it was around 3 PM when she entered the hospital room. Now, it was completely dark outside. How long was she asleep for?"You'
"Who did you just call?" she asked curiously."A restaurant owned by the Gomez family, the kind that operates 24 hours," he replied.Sure enough, 20 minutes later, the porridge was delivered to the hospital room, along with several side dishes."Do you want some?" Coco asked."I'm not hungry, you go ahead," Lucas said.Coco didn't hesitate since she was really hungry. She found the porridge with side dishes exceptionally delicious at this early hour of 4 AM.Lucas watched Coco eat. The simple food of porridge and side dishes seemed to make her so happy."Are you always so easily satisfied?" he asked softly, "You're savoring the simple porridge like it's a gourmet meal.""When you're hungry, everything tastes exceptionally good," Coco answered."What about life then? Are you satisfied with your life right now?" he asked."I'm content," she smiled, "I'm doing something that I love for a living, I earn enough money to support myself and I can even save some money for retirement.
Coco was discharged from the hospital the next day. After that, she stayed at home to recuperate. After all, she couldn't go out and meet people with all that bruises on her face! Minnie would occasionally come over to her place to tell her about the latest updates from the set.The actors who participated in the boycott couldn't enter Studio City anymore, which was to be expected. The Gomez family sent the actors' information to the security guards at the entrance of Studio City so the guards could stop them from entering.Although the incident that day was not reported in the news, the drama’s production was still greatly affected. Currently, the production team was discussing whether to change the shooting location or to replace the actors.This discussion had been going on for a few days without reaching a conclusion. However, according to Minnie, it should be resolved within the next day or two. After all, every day they did not film meant another day of financial loss. The a
The production team ultimately decided to replace all the actors who went on strike. Because Rowan Palmer was the male lead, the TV series received a lot of media attention.The production company managed to keep the news of Jane Harris and the other actors getting arrested temporarily under wraps, but when they replaced the actors, the media naturally caught wind of it since a total of 17 actors were replaced, some of them having important roles in the series.But just as the media learned about the large-scale cast changes and before they could uncover the reason, news came that the director would also be replaced. The replacement director was a heavyweight in the television industry and had directed many hit TV shows.This caused a huge stir in the media, and they desperately crowded around the production set to gather the latest information.As for Coco, her life was relatively peaceful compared to the besieged crew members. The bruises on her face and body had mostly faded
The people inside the private club were clearly familiar with Lucas. When they saw him, they all greeted him respectfully. One of the managers led them to a private room in the club.When the door was pushed open, Coco saw to her surprise that the private room was much larger than she had anticipated. At a glance, it seemed to have an area of over 200 square meters. Inside, there was a karaoke area, a pool table, card tables, and more.The men and women inside all wore fashionable and luxurious attire. Compared to them, Coco felt somewhat out of place. She was embarrassed, feeling like an ugly duckling among a group of swans.As soon as Lucas and Coco entered, someone whistled and jokingly said, "Wow, look at that! After all these years, you finally brought a partner to our gathering!"It had been over 7 years since Lucas had a girlfriend. You wouldn't believe that he used to be a playboy who always had a girlfriend by his side.However, the people present all knew that the w
