Summer had also watched Coco's livestream earlier. Coco could have stayed under Lucas' protection, but she stood up for herself and faced the public. Summer admired Coco's courage and hoped for the best for her. Coco knew people would attack her, but she bravely accepted it. Maybe this was what Coco needed to stand by Lucas' side for the days to come.The group discussed Coco's live stream. It was a slightly random change in topic, but the women eventually decided to visit Coco for a housewarming after her place was ready.After the video call, Coco got a call from Minnie."Coco! You were so awesome! There are posts online discussing your circle of friends. With your powerful connections, no one will try to mess with you anymore!" Minnie cheered, her comments making Coco amused."The livestream went well, fortunately," Coco smiled. "Hopefully the storm will soon be over.""Things will be better for you, but I guess Christine will be in trouble. Everyone is criticizing her online
Hamer reported the result of the investigation and handed Lucas the file.Lucas looked over the information at hand and gave his next orders. "Stop Christine and her family from leaving the country. Did they think it'd be easy for them to flee abroad?"Lucas swore he would make those who hurt Coco pay for their actions!"Understood!" Hamer responded."Also, apart from Christine, send the two people with her to the police," Lucas added. The two of them had hurt Coco the other day, and he would never forgive them."Yes, I know what to do," Hamer answered and left quickly.After settling the matters, Lucas returned to the bedroom and looked at the sleeping Coco in bed with both tenderness and passion."Coco..." he murmured, leaning down to kiss her forehead. The kiss showed his deep love, a devoted love for her!-Things escalated pretty quickly after Christine's drama spread all over the internet. The proof of her misdoings was out there, and all her secrets were actively expose
The Spears family got detained, and the netizens gossipped about them. Some pointed out that the police had evidence of Christine's attempts at defamation, instructing several influential online personalities to smear Coco's name and spread all kinds of baseless rumors.In addition, it seemed that the Spears family had transferred private funds out of the country, which constituted fraud. The punishment for such fraud would not be light. Everyone knew the Spears family was finished! With a sigh, Coco watched the news without any feeling. She simply thought life was unpredictable. Coco wondered if Christine would have made the same choices had she known the consequences. Christine had tried to manipulate public opinion to damage Coco's reputation but destroyed her own life instead.After the drama settled, Coco stayed in Lucas' villa instead of going home. If she tried to go home, Lucas would follow her and sleep on her couch again.Lucas and Coco had separate rooms in the vill
Coco wanted to give the story a proper ending. "I know. If it doesn't work, I'll simply end it.""But I like the story. I started the new series after I got to know Lucas. I hope the story will come to a good ending too.""Okay. I'll start the preparation. Well, your story was quite well received before you disappeared. We had plans to publish it into a book, but then you disappeared, so that didn't happen. Maybe resuming the serialization will have a good result!" Minnie smiled.Getting up from her seat, Minnie said goodbye. "Well, I'm going back to the office.""Don't forget about the housewarming party at my new place tonight," Coco reminded her.Minnie chuckled. "How could I forget? So many big names are going to gather today. I can't miss a rare party like this."In the evening, Coco set up a buffet-style party at her new place. Lucas also arranged for some of his cooks and maids to come and help with the food and cleaning.Summer was the first to arrive at the party. Hayde
The other couples thought the same and nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, Minnie was single and had no experience, so she said nothing."Anyway, you should tell Lucas to be prepared in case you get pregnant early. You'll have to move the wedding date earlier," Serenity urged, and the others agreed."I'm sure you'll have a cute child with Lucas. Speaking of which, the kids will grow up together, and there are internal opportunities for matchmaking …" Lisa mumbled to herself. "Internal opportunities?" Coco said, feeling puzzled."Look at the kids playing in the yard. And don't forget the rest of the kids at home. Wouldn't it be nice to see them growing up together and falling in love with a childhood friend? Well, that was my dream," Lisa murmured about her little fantasy."You'd better keep this a secret from Terry. If he knows about your dream, he'll try to identify all your childhood friends, won't he?" Serenity teased. "Pretend I said nothing," Lisa said sheepishly, trembling in
Lucas tapped Wilson on the shoulder while Clara and Summer were chatting."You should've seen that look on your face. Do you know what you look like?""What?" "Like a student who's thinking of their future, not knowing the best path for him," Lucas teased. "So, did something happen between you and Clara?""Nothing happened. It's been quiet lately," Wilson stated.It was precisely this peace that bothered him. Like something was stirring the calm waters, making him feel panicky."Why that look on your face? Are you two not getting along?" Lucas continued asking."No. We're getting along well," Wilson replied. A cozy relationship was building between them, and his relationship with Yanny was improving. Sometimes, he even thought that this was the life he wanted.Despite that, he still felt uneasy. Even though he had gone through hypnosis to forget his past feelings, it did not help any of his lingering resentment over their previously failed relationship. Even so, he could not
"Don't you stop me… Let's have fun together… Instead of having fun alone…" Lisa got louder when drunk.Have fun together? With who? Terry rolled his eyes at Lisa, and Lisa did not even realize it."Lisa's drunk. I'm taking her home," Terry said, ready to take Lisa home. Coco quickly answered, "Take care on your way home."Lisa was not done yet. "Come visit me next time, Coco… I'll show you my collection of handsome men. Those posters, they're all my treasures. Terry doesn't even know…"Well, her secret was out, and everyone in the room knew! Terry listened and was rendered speechless. Once he got home, he would look for her hidden treasures and see whose posters she had been collecting."Oh, by the way… Coco, Clara, Serenity…""In the future… When Coco gets married, how about making the guys do a group dance… It'll be great! I'm going to look for some dance music…"Lisa rambled on, and her suggestion brought a whole new slew of headaches to the men in the room. The men in a g
Coco's cheeks were pink, her eyes growing bigger and bigger as she stared at him. Her eyes sparkled, drawing him in.Lucas could not resist her requests even if he found it embarrassing. "Okay," he agreed, his voice hoarse. "If that's what you want, I'll dance for you." Lucas would only dance for Coco. His dance was only for her to see!"Really?" Her eyes lit up with joy. "You'd dance for me?""Yes. I will," Lucas promised.Coco then stumbled onto the couch to watch him dance. Lucas smiled at Coco helplessly and made her sit properly. Before he began dancing, he loosened the tie from his neck. Then, he unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt and the sleeves at his wrists.Lucas danced, doing this only to please her. Only she could make him dance like this. He wanted to make the woman he loved happy! Coco watched, mesmerized by his dance. She rested her chin in her hands, her lips curving upward as happiness surrounded her. She felt happy in this moment.-When Clara and
