“How did you get her here? Do you to know each other?” Curious, Charlotte asked.“Short of. She is my friend’s cousin. My friend says she is now a desperate to marry a rich man. She stalks Harry every day, trying to get him to fall in love with her. So, she agreed to come here immediately after I text her.”“So, Rose won’t be dating him then?”“Without a doubt! Our entire family oppose her dating him, because we all believe hes only interested in our property. Rose would regret if she married him. She is not very smart, you know!”“Then…”“Why are you still hesitating? Shut up and follow me!” With that, Eliana pulled Charlotte into the next lounge.At that moment, the waiter bought Harry a new shirt. After saying thanks to the waiter and shutting the door, Harry took off his shirt and put on a new one. He found this shirt a little small for him and did not fit him.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. While fastening his buttons, Harry walked towards the door. He frowned as soon as
“But we have not eaten dinner yet.”“I’m not in the mood to eat right now. You can tell your family that you have seen me and things didn’t go well.”“You think I had this dinner with you because my family force me to do so?” Harry frowned.“Yeah, you can stop pretending, because it’s just the two of us here.” Rose said nonchalantly.Meanwhile, on the balcony.“Eliana, maybe you should let go of her,” Charlotte whispered.Hearing that, Eliana realized she had been covering Fiona’s mouth and nose for quite some time. She then warned Fiona, “I let you go if you will be quiet. Otherwise…”“Wink if you’ll do as we told you.” Charlotte said.In response, Fiona blinked quickly. Before she could react, Eliana slashed her hand across the neck shortly after releasing her. And Fiona passed out and leaned against the wall.“When did you learn this?” Charlotte asked in surprise.Eliana replied with a smile, “Aunt Maggie taught me that.”Lowering her voice, Charlotte asked, “Why does Rose have to
“I don’t know them.” Rose said, her face slightly twitching.“There you are. I’ve been looking for you ages. You have nearly scared the hell out of me, you know. Thank goodness you are safe and sound!” Suddenly, Max’s voice comes from the door.Hearing that, all of them turned around and looked at Max in surprise. Then they followed Max and returned to the hall. On the way, none of them utter a word out of embarrassment. Following that they were seated at a large table near the window.“I’m sorry, but my sister is always like this.” Taking a sip of the tea, Max said to hurry apologetically.“So, this young lady turns out to be your sister. Then, who is the girl sitting next to her?” Harry asked, looking at Charlotte.“She is my sister’s friend,” Max replied to Charlotte, who was nervous under Harry’s gaze.“Hello girls!” Harry is sad with a nod.Extremely embarrassed, Charlotte asked Eliana in a whisper, “When can we leave?”“Aren’t you hungry? Don’t you want to eat here?” Eliana said
The opening ceremony of the racing competition was held in the Rose City suburbs on the day before Christmas Eve. All racing teams would arrive at the official race venue following the opening ceremony.The day before the opening ceremony began, Charlotte received the tickets Max had sent her. She was so happy that she kept begging Eliana to go with her. Eliana was drowsy the entire way because they had an early start in the morning. She grumbled, “What’s the big deal about this? It’s only an opening ceremony, not a race. Do you realize this will be over once everyone has bought their cars in. I don’t think it will even last half an hour. I can’t believe I’m waking up so early for that.”Charlotte said, “I’m not interested in the official game. I’m only there to take a photo with Kevin.”“Who is kevin?”“A very cute racer. He was on a variety show last year and is now very famous.”“How cute can he be? Is he as cute as George?” Eliana asked mockingly.Charlotte flipped through the bro
After a long time, Dominic finally let go of Eliana. “You could have been in a real danger if you had just run into the woods.” He said.The moment she heard his voice, Eliana went completely still. She was surprised to see Dominic when she looked up. She wanted to say something to thank him, but she didn’t.“You! What the hell you doing here?” She immediately stood up and asked, surprised.“I just saved your life. You should thank me, Amber.”“I am not going to thank you, scumbag! I don’t even need you to save me.” Eliana said.“What’s wrong? Why are you calling me a scumbag?” Dominic asked in surprise.“You are as cruel as Brisco. You even wanted to…” Eliana clenched her teeth. She hesitated for a moment and decided it was better to keep her mouth shut.“What? What do you think I want to do?”“Stop talking to me!” Eliana yelled angrily before turning around and walking away.“Wait, a minute!” Dominic said he held out his hand trying to get her to stop her.Eliana accidentally steppe
“Really? But I don’t think so.” Lowering her head, Eliana hesitated for a quiet while before looking up at Dominic and continued, “Dominic, I’m sorry for misunderstanding you earlier.”Dominic froze before reaching out and rubbing Eliana’s hair. And Eliana asked in astonishment, her eyes widened in shock, “What are you doing?” Later, she avoided his hand,Dominic burst out laughing and said, “Relax! I don’t take it personally anyways. After all, you are just a kid.”“I’m not a kid anymore. I’m only 16 years old.”“Exactly!” Charlotte, who was next to Eliana, was also murdered in dissatisfaction.“So? You are both kids to me, but your brother looks like an adult to me. You know, adults have to shoulder a great deal of responsibility and sacrifice of many of their favorite things when it’s necessary.” Dominic said as he sat on the following step.‘I have to admit that I envy you too. Both of you are at a point when you try to be independent and hate being treated like children. I have b
As soon as they arrived at the scene, they saw that they rode to the nearby mountain was closed off. The Guardrail was shattered, and pieces of the car bumper and headlights were scattered on the ground. Eliana kept her fists clenched as she looked down at the cliff, and Charlotte stood beside her. Then Dominic approached Eliana and handed her a bottle of water, “Have some water, Eliana! There is still hope for us. Your brother will be alright!”Eliana didn’t drink the water. Instead, she stood there as still as a statue. A while later, many people came to the accident side to help.“Eliana!” Maggie yelled as soon as she stepped out of the car.Having come back to her senses, Eliana returned her gaze. At the site of Maggie, she threw herself into Maggie’s arm and sobbed.Maggie then stroked her hair and comforted her, “I’m sorry, dear. He’ll be just fine.” At that moment, Maggie’s eyes were red as she spoke, because she cried the entire way there.Later, both Trevor and Daniel arrived
The next morning, the headlines read, “Dream High Group CEO fell off a cliff, Missing.” In the morning, the anchor of the local morning news told the public about it.“How could he have vanished?” Trevor asked, perplexed. At that time, he and his friends were staying in a hotel near the accident sight.Maggie appeared to be very worried, “Is it possible that Max survived the fell and left on his own?”“It can’t be. Nian went down to find him, and she could not be wrong. After all, they have already bought his car up, and there still no sign of Max.”“That’s not what I mean. Why are you misinterpreting my words?” Maggie asked furiously. When Maggie saw Nian walk out of the bathroom, she said, “Nian you know that’s not what I mean. I’m just, I just want Max to be okay.”Nina nodded, “I get it. To be honest, I am as an anxious as you are.”“Maggie I think you’re right. I always thought that accident might not be as simple as it seems.” Daniel abruptly said.Then everyone looked at him in
“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
