The collapse construction site was close to several universities. So, it might endanger the university town and surrounding towns. In response to the collapse, Dream High Group plans to hold a press conference to address the public. At the same time, they wanted to publicize the plans for future development to reassure the residents. Therefore, Dream High Group held up press conference in Cliatin the following afternoon.Before the conference began, Alice came to encourage Max in the hotel lounge. Originally Zayden refused to come, but Alice persuaded him to do so.In a hurry, Raea handed a stack of papers to Max and said, “These are the questions that the journalist will ask here. I have written appropriate response to each question so you can just answer them according to it.”Max took a glance at the script before tossing it aside. “Thanks, but that’s not necessary,” He said.“Mr. Collins…” Raea attempted to persuade him. To her surprise, Max motioned with his hand that she didn’t
“Ouch! It hurts!” the girl kept yelling in pain.“Where does it hurt? Is it here?” Alice asked, putting her hands on the girl’s arm.“Ah!” The girl shouted in pain.“Your arm is probably dislocated,” Alice said with a frown.“Don’t move!” Alice said as she held her arm. “I’m a doctor, trust me. If you move one more time, you will never be able to lift your arm again.”The little girl’s eyes widened in surprise, and she stopped crying. She panicked and looked at Alice. After the girl stopped moving, Alice touched her joints and tried to resemble them.During the process, Alice started making small talk with the girl to distract her. “Why are you running around the airport by yourself? Where are your friends?”“I came here by myself.” The little girl replied.“You don’t sound like Rose City native. Did you come here for a trip?”The girl shook her head.“So, did you run away from home?” Alice asked.In an instant, the girl became pale and looked at Alice wearily. The next second Alice a
At that moment, a black car pulled up in front of the building.Max stepped out of the car, surrounded by a group of bodyguards and assistants. They arrived at the elevator entrance at the same time.Then Max’s subordinate reported, “Mr Collins, the man in charge, has arrived in the conference room. They have found that right person, and the application deadline is today.”Hearing that, Charlotte took a cautious step to the side. She then blushed when she saw Max who was in the middle of the crowd. Looking at his handsome face, she thought to herself, ‘This young man is so good-looking. Is everyone in the city so attractive? I’m so glad that I will be working in a building with this handsome boy in the future.’Minutes later, the elevator doors opened slowly. Charlotte was about to go in when she was stopped by the bodyguard, as there would be no more room in the elevator after they all entered it.Charlotte was so thin that she could barely fit in. However, a warning bell rang as she
The moment she stepped out of the building, Eliana took a taxi to school. To her surprise, her phone kept ringing on the way. And Eliana swallowed hard when she saw the caller ID.“Hello? Mom,” she said cautiously as she pressed the answer button.“Don’t leave after school is over today. I will pick you up.” Alice said softly.“Why?”“You will be walking in the show tomorrow and tonight is the final rehearsal, remember? Your Aunt Nian is coming back, so I’m taking you home for dinner.”“Is Nian back? She has not been back in months.” Eliana exclaimed.“Yeah. So I will take you to meet her, and I’m not sure how long she will be here this time.”“I can take a cab there myself, Mom. You don’t have to pick me up yourself.”“I’m getting out of work early today. So, I will just pick you up on the way.”“Oh fine,” Frowning Eliana said in dissatisfaction.“Wait! Aren’t you supposed to be in class right now? Why did you pick up the phone immediately, right after I called you? Did you skip clas
“Aunt Nian, where did you go on your mission this time? Last month, I saw on the news that special forces were rescuing hostages in Ireland. Did you go there? Have you ever seen any drug gangs? What do the drug lords look like?” Eliana kept asking questions as soon as she saw Nian.Alice handed Eliana a glass of orange juice and asked, “Will you shut up for a minute? Nian can’t tell you that, because there’s a top secret. Why are you asking so many questions, by the way?”“Aunt Nian can't talk about it, but that doesn’t mean I can’t ask her about it.” Eliana said, shaking her head.“Please don’t tell your classmates about this, or you will get your aunt Nian in trouble. Do you know how strict the army’s discipline is?” Shaking her head helplessly, Alice said.“Okay, okay. I already know that. I never mentioned that my Aunt is a soldier at school. Will you please stop nagging, mom?” Eliana asked mockingly.Then Nian said with a smile, “Thanks! I miss you guys terribly when I was away.
Rose followed Sean and entered his room with him. She said, “Dad, it’s still early. Why don’t we play chess?”“I’m not in the mood,” Sean said flatly.“Are you mad because of what they said about me?” With a worried look, Rose asked Sean.“Why shouldn’t I? Do you want to get married to that guy simply for the business interest of our family. You are my little girl. I won’t let it happen!”Hearing that, Rose said with a cheeky smile, “Dad, you don’t have to worry about it. Max is now running the company, and I am his grandaunt. He will not exchange my marriage for anything. Besides, we don’t even have to do that. Our family is doing great!”Much to Rose's surprise, Sean didn’t soften his face after hearing her words. Instead, he frowned lost in thought. ‘Well, Rose, to be honest, the Dream High Group has faced many difficulties in recent years. Moreover, ever since Max took over the group, the board members have been giving him a hard time because they doubt that a young boy like him i
While the fashion show was going on, a black car arrived at the office building. Max stepped out of the car, carrying a large delivery box. He then told the driver, “You don’t have to wait for me. You can get off work now.”“Thanks, Mr, Collins.”The car drove off as Max walked into the building. He stepped into the elevator and pressed the butter for the top floor. As soon as Max left the elevator, he saw the door to the apartment. When he opened the door, he heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.‘Is it Eliana? But… Didn’t she go to Summer today? Is this show over now?’ Thinking of that, Max removed his jacket and placed the box on the table. He then took a can of lemon tea from the refrigerator.At the same time, Charlotte was taking a hot bath in the bathroom. She thought ‘This city is fantastic! Even the hot water here is better than that in my hometown. Amber’s apartment is wonderful. I will have always wanted to live in a beautiful house like this one,’After the s
Alice fixed her gaze on Maggie and said, “Don’t make a fuss. Maggie, its not a big deal. I am going to drive Rita to the hospital. We don’t have time to wait for the ambulance.”While helping Rita walk out, Alice said to her softly, “Don’t be afraid, Rita. Everything will be fine. Can you start timing now? Then tell me how many contractions a minute you are having later. Please tell me how many times a minute you feel hurt, okay?”“Um, okay,” Rita said, biting her lips and nodding.****At the same time, a large show was also taking place in another luxury hotel in Rose City. After reading the news Beatrice became enraged. She growled, “These journalists are completely untrustworthy. They sold the gossip to others that I had bought from them!”“The reporters didn’t dare to offend you. And Summer isn’t a powerful enough for them to do so.”Hearing her assistant’s words Beatrice frowned and asked, “Do you mean the Dream High Group did this? Does this have anything to do with Zayden Coll
“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
