“All right, thank you. You are the best!” Daisy said with a smile.After taking her shoes off, Daisy leaned back on the couch. She was giggling the whole time when she was talking. But when she thought of something, she suddenly stopped laughing. She immediately asked earnestly, “Hey, Trevor, I remember that you told me earlier that Zayden has a girlfriend. Is she the lobby manager named Alice Brown?”“Oh, nothing. I happened to see her at the hotel today. She is pretty beautiful, I thought. Well, I have to hang up now, sorry. I will take you to dinner in a few days, okay?”After Daisy hung up the phone, she put the phone aside. Then, she sat down on the sofa and wrapped her hands around her legs. She leaned back on the cushion and then began to ponder.She thought to herself, the woman I saw this morning is Zayden’s girlfriend. I think she is young and pretty. But she is not as beautiful as me. Also, I feel that she is a pushover and has nothing special. I thought Zayden did not like
After walking out of the bathroom, the first thing Zayden did was look for Alice. However, he didn’t see her. He asked the receptionist where she went, but they had just changed shifts and she didn’t know what had just happened.“She probably went back home. You know, it’s late.” Daisy said and took Zayden’s hand.Then she leaned against Zayden, blinking her reddened eyes and saying in a muffled voice, “Zaydne I am a little tired. Would you take me home?”They stood at the front desk, making the receptionist look stunned.The receptionist looked dumbfounded at them and then wondered what was going on. They all knew Zayden and Alice were in a relationship. But they don’t know why Daisy was so close to Zayden.Zayden absentmindedly looked at the hotel gate and then had a bad feeling in his heart.He knew that Alice wouldn’t leave the banquet without telling him, even if she had something urgent to take care of. After all, Alice had never done such a thing before.Daisy seemed to be drun
Sensing that something was off, Trevor kept his mouth shut.Alice turned back to Trevor and looked at him sorrowfully. They have known each other since they were kids, she thought to herself.Maggie urged him, “Ah, it turns out that you do know about it! Tell me everything!”Trevor looked at the two women and realized that if he didn’t tell the truth, he had been screwed. After thinking for a while, Trevor decided to betray Zayden for the time being.“Daisy surname is Miller. Her family knows our family and the Collins for many years. Zayden, her tow brothers and me are about the same age, so we used to hang out together when we were kids. However, Zayden was a bit loner and didn’t like to play with us. Daisy was younger, and we didn’t like to play with her. So, Zayden always spent time with her.”Their parents were happy to see that these two children hit off. And Zayden’s father had always wanted a daughter before. So, he treated Daisy as his daughter. Every time he saw her, he was
“I see, so that’s why you are angry. Tell me, what did Daisy say to you?” Zayden looked at her with a complicated expression.When he couldn’t find Alice last night, he thought that maybe she knew something about what happened between Daisy and him. After all, he had only learned a few days ago that the president of RS England was Daisy. At that point, Daisy had been staying in the hotel for several days.Alice smiled mockingly and replied, “Oh, don’t worry. She didn’t say anything to me. Plus, I don’t think she even wanted to talk to me. After all, you have known each other since you were kids. She is your real fiancee, and the love of your life. She can prove everything just by standing next to you. You are a cute couple and a match made in heaven, am I right?”Zayden interrupted her and said unhappily, “Alice, do you know what you are talking about? Stop saying that.”“No, I don’t.” Alice turned her face to the side, deliberately not looking at him.“Stop it. If you want to know wh
Alice felt silent.Then, Maggie seemed to be realized that she said something wrong. So, she immediately said, “But, honey, none of that is important. You know, the only thing that matters is the money that’s belongs to you. As I told you before, you should go home and see your father more often. Otherwise, he might got confused and think that he has only one daughter. That way, he will just give Alicia all of his possessions. You can’t let that bit*h get your money like this, can you?”“Oh, just let him give it to her! I don’t care about his money.”“Alice, you can’t do that. You have to think about your life after that. That way, if Zayden and Daisy get back together, at least you have money to live on.”Maggie said seriously, and her words reminded Alice that she need a lot of money. If she and Zayden broke up or fought, if she had the money to support her, it would be easier for her to get Max back.Alice realized that she had been living too comfortably recently, which made her f
Alice was about to call Martin “Dad” when she realized that he thought she was a nurse. Then, she froze.“How long have I slept?” Martin asked as he sat up from the bed and leaned over it. He looked as if he was about to get out of bed.Alice immediately reached out to help him, but he pushed her away. He said, “No thanks. I can do it myself.”With that, he got out of bed on his own. He fumbled with his shoes and then touched the end of the bed. Then, he slowly walked toward the balcony by holding the things along the way.“It seems to be a pretty nice day, doesn’t it?” He said, then walked to the balcony. Immediately afterward, Alice opened the door for him.Martin nodded and walked out of the balcony, and said, “Thank you. The air is pretty fresh here. It just rained, didn’t it?”As he spoke, he suddenly stumbled and tripped over a chair.“Dad,” Alice cried out in shock.Martin held onto the edge of the chair and stood still. Then, he looked back at Alice in surprise. “Alice? Is tha
Zayden said all this just to tell Alice that his parents had made him engaged when he was a child. Besides, they hadn’t even asked him about his opinion.Zayden had always been a smart man. He made it seem like he wasn’t responsible for this with just a few words.Alice pouted and deliberately said, “Hey, don’t you try to fool me! I know you very well. You were more than ten years old at that time. Even if you could just talk then, you would have opposed it you didn’t want to marry her. As long as you didn’t want to, no one would force you to do so! Well it seems that you do like Daisy.”“Oh, well, do you want to know the truth?” Zayden asked. He looked a little more serious, which made Alice nervous.What? It turned out that he liked her. Alice thought in her heart.“Oh, no, no. Alice it’s not what you think.” Zayden became resigned upon seeing her expression, and then gently flicked her forehead.She grunted, covered her head, and said in a discontent voice, “Hey! You can talk as yo
After her plane landed, Alice turned on her phone. Then, she saw that someone had called her not long ago. She looked at the number and immediately called Roy.“Hey, Alice! You are back!” Roy said as soon as he answered the phone.“Yes, I just arrived. Roy can you find out Daisy’s cell phone number for me? She is that president of RS” Alice asked.Alice didn’t have Daisy’s cell phone number. When Daisy first arrived at the hotel, she scolded Alice. So, Alice was not with Daisy during the days she evaluated the hotel.Roy sounded surprised. He froze for a moment before answering, “Daisy? Oh, I can! I will ask the person in charge of that.”Alice had just gotten off the airport highway in a can when she received a text message from Roy. After seeing that it was the same number that had called her that morning, her eyes turned somber. She then immediately turned off her phone screen and closed her eyes as she wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to Daisy at that moment.As she expected, i
“Mom, don’t come over!” Eliana and Max yelled at the same time.“Alice, you are such a lucky bitch. You have such two wonderful children. I have worked hard my entire life, but now I have nothing in the end,” Jessica said in an envious tone.‘Did you just mention children? Could be that you suddenly wanted to meet Gary before you die because he’s your only family?’ At the thought, Alice gently asked “Jessica, do you want to meet Gary?”Instead of answering Alice's question, Jessica remained silent. She then bowed her head and began trembling.“I will call him right now. He just left, so he will come back soon,” Alice added.“Is Gary really coming back?”“Yeah. He’s doing great this year. He has always get high grades on his test and he is popular school. He is just as smart as you are.” Alice praised Jessica in the hopes of changing her mind.“He didn’t want to see me. I tried to talk to him this year, but his maid always mistook me for a beggar and told me get lost.” Jessica spoke in
A woman in a janitor’s uniform rushed out of the tool room as Eliana and Charlotte left the restroom. The woman then pressed a fruit knife against Eliana’s neck. Eliana had no idea what was going on because it happened so quickly. She could not stop shaking when she felt the cold metal against her skin.Charlotte was so scared that she screamed. Then she immediately covered her mouth. After hearing her voice many people made their way to the restroom. However, no one dared to approach them, they all stood back and watched.Eliana grabbed the woman’s arm from behind as she wanted to wrestle her to the ground. She thanked Alice were forcing her to take so many taekwondo classes at this moment.However, the woman realized what Eliana was trying to do. She whispered in a husky voice, “Don’t do anything. I will slit your throat if you move one more time. By then your blood will flow like a water flower and you will die tragically.”The woman’s voice was so husky that it made Eliana feel li
Dominic saw Eliana the moment she walked into the room. He looked at her as if he could not take his eyes off her. Eliana shone like a star that was even more dazzling than the bright chandelier. Whenever he looked at her, his heart beat faster, and his palms sweat.Ever since Eliana entered the hall, Dominic had been looking at her. He watched her as she walked around the venue and to greet the guests and he was disappointed when he noticed that many young boys were looking at her as much as he was.Later on, the host asked Eliana and Max to come on the stage. They sang the birthday song together and then catch the multi-tiered cake. Zayden then announced that the party was started.It was not until then that Eliana was free. When she saw him after she left the stage, Eliana moved quickly towards Dominic. Every step she took seemed to step into his heart, causing it to beat like a drum.Dominic had been waiting for Eliana to become an adult for the past two years, but she had no idea
After dinner, Eliana comes back to her apartment. She took a quick shower before going to bed. As she lay down in bed, she checked her phone and found tons of unread messages in the Team Wolf Chat Group. Eliana was supposed to join her teammates in celebrating their victory after the game, but she didn’t because her parents showed up unexpectedly.Eliana’s teammates not only posted pictures from dinner in the chat room, but they also mentioned for several times. Eliana was about to go to bed after replying to everyone's message, but the moment she discovered Dominic had also texted her, she perished her thoughts.Dominic had become extremely busy since he retired from the e-sports circle two years ago and returned to London to take over his family’s business. Recently, instead of having time to play games with her, he could only teach her practical strategies occasionally.Dominic returned to Rose City this time just to watch their game. However, Dominic and Eliana didn’t even have ti
After the game was over, the lights in the hall lit up and the host invited two teams onto the stage after congratulating the winners.Max and his parents took a seat in the first row. People around them began to whisper in surprise, and they only stopped when Team Wolf showed up on the stage.The stage was well-lit, but the auditorium was dark, so Eliana had no idea her parents, whom she had not seen in a long time, had arrived on the scene.Standing on this stage, Eliana smiled while waving at the audience. She sparkled like a diamond and nothing seemed to be able to dim her light.Meanwhile, Alice looked at Eliana as if she was her biggest fire. She felt proud of Eliana from the bottom of her heart.Initially, Alice was furious when she learned that Eliana wanted to become an e-sports player. However, she began to regret it after Eliana became a world champion. ‘If I stopped her back, then I would have stopped her from succeeding. Thank goodness I didn’t do so. Alice thought to her
Two years later, an important match took place in a hall in the center of Rose City. Eliana’s team, the Wolfs would play against a team from another country.Teen Wolf had previously won the world championship twice while their opponent was a dark horse team that had only recently formed. As a result, game lovers from both countries eagerly anticipated this match.At the same time, this was the most crucial match for Eliana since she joined Team Wolf two years ago. She would be a member of the world championship team if she won the game. However, she would lose her best chance to win the World Championship if she lost it. Therefore, Eliana took this match very seriously.Because the Dream High Group was one of the match sponsors, the live room was packed with people Eliana knew. Although ticker prizes had risen to several thousand dollars per person, Max could still obtain tickets for his family.At that moment, Trevor, Maggie, and their children sat in the center of the front row. Da
Henry was very efficient. Two days later, he managed to place the information he had gathered about Dominic on Max’s desk.Then Max started reading it carefully.Dominic Deleon was Dominic's full name. He was born and grew up in London, and he was twenty years old. His great-grandfather was a politician who once held a high govt position. His grandfather was a successful businessman who owned a large corporation. As for his father, he was a businessman who made the company well.Dominic was the family’s only child, but he was uninterested in business. He fell in love with e-sports in college and soon signed up with an E-sports company. Later, he made it to one of the best teams in the country and was named captain due to his outstanding performance. He once led his team to a world championship victory.Before moving to Rose City Dominic attended a university in London. However after he fell out with his parents, he transferred to a college in Rose City because several of his teammates
“Do you really want to know about it?” Dominic asked after some thought.“Yes!” Eliana said.“I might tell you after we get to know each other better. But, you know, we are not even friends now,” He said.“Well, I’m not interested in that anymore.” Eliana said. She became impatient, so she stopped talking to Dominic.“Are you angry?” Dominic asked.“No.”“I know you won’t get angry that easily.”“That’s because I know getting angry easily is bad for my health. It’s nothing to do with you.”Hearing Eliana’s words, Dominic burst out laughing. He knew Eliana loved sashimi, so he gave her that plate. “Well, we are friends now,” he said.At that time, Charlotte was talking to Kevin and Max was talking to Jason. On the other hand, Max kept a close eye on Dominic and paid attention to his every move.Dominic quickly realized this, so he turned to look at Max. The two boys then locked their gaze on each other. Max appeared weary and hostile whereas Dominic didn’t seem to be bothered by Max’s
Alice nearly fell on her knees and then stood up straight with all her strength. Seeing that Zayden was in more pain. He wanted to rush to Alice and help her out of the situation at that moment, but he had to wait for the right time. Therefore, he stood in the crowd, silent.“I’m just a doctor. I’m not that capable enough to defeat mercenaries.” Alice said, through gritted teeth.Hearing that Victoria kicked her once more. “Are you trying to fool me? I’m sure you know some special forces! Isn’t Adrian Taylor is your brother-in-law.”Alice let out a painful groan. She took a deep breath and said, “I had no idea you know it. But sadly, none of them in Flesoil.”“That’s fine. I can wait! They will agree to my request, as long as you are my hostage.”Zayden’s gun was in his pocket, but he didn’t have the guts to touch it.At that time, Victoria’s gun remain pressed against Alice’s temple, making him nervous. His hands were sweating, and he was even more nervous than he had when he saved E
