Mr. L demanded, "Bring it to me yourself!"Chelsey answered, "I'm sorry, Mr. L. It's inconvenient for me, so I may not be able to deliver the necklace personally to you."Mr. L's message read, "I've already opened the door. Just bring the necklace to me."Chelsey typed, "Huh?"Mr. L insisted, "Bring it over!"Chelsey read the text several times before understanding what Mr. L meant. As it turned out, he was staying just right across from her. All she had to do was bring the necklace there. And the person living opposite her was Lucas. So, Mr. L's real identity was Lucas!Chelsey finally caught on. L was just the first letter for "Lucas". She could not help but feel foolish for not realizing it earlier. She wondered if Lucas was planning to give the necklace to Shannon.Chelsey furrowed her brows. Nevertheless, she stood up with the necklace in her hand.Jason looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Queen, where are you taking the necklace to?""To deliver it," Chel
Chelsey felt a sudden surge of sorrow wash over her.Chelsey failed to control her emotions as she stared at the man she loved for over a decade. Her indifference was merely a facade. At that moment, her emotions rose like stormy waves. Chelsey's smile was strained as she replied, "I don't want the necklace. Keep it and give it to your future wife."After saying that, she stuffed the necklace into Lucas' hand before turning to leave. He abruptly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace.Chelsey's back pressed firmly against Lucas. She could feel his body's warmth and heartbeat through their clothes. "Lucas Yates, let me go!" she ordered. Chelsey attempted to break free. However, Lucas held on to her even tighter. His chin rested on her shoulder, his handsome face nestled against her chubby one. Lucas gently rubbed his cheek against Chelsey's, saying, "I should hate you because you cheated on me. But I can't bring myself to do that. I even regret agreeing to th
Chelsey's words left Lucas feeling embarrassed. He had to admit that he was emotionally unsettled when Shannon returned to the country.When Lucas saw that Shannon was hurt, he began to dislike Chelsey.However, as time passed, he came to realize his true feelings. Having spent three years with Chelsey, Lucas had developed feelings for her. Whenever he looked at Shannon, all he could think of was Chelsey.While Lucas was not physically attracted to Shannon, he harbored a desire for Chelsey. The second he saw Chelsey, he wanted to kiss, embrace, and fondle her.Lucas slowly released Chelsey's hand. "I'm sorry." Chelsey suddenly realized that Sandra's words rang true. Lucas' actions were too little, too late. Although Chelsey still loved Lucas, things were different from three years ago. Back then, she would give up everything to be his wife. Chelsey removed the necklace and placed it on the coffee table. Then, she left Lucas' home and returned to her own. Jason was s
Before long, some sharp-eyed netizens discovered that Lucas had recently followed a designer named Queen.Moreover, he had liked all her tweets. Lucas was not following anyone before he followed Queen. He didn't like any other posts either, not even Shannon's.So, rumors of Queen being the third party in Lucas and Shannon's relationship quickly escalated. Some netizens even went as far as to analyze the timeline.They concluded that Queen was indeed the adulterer who sabotaged their relationship. The evidence was undeniable. With media accounts and various traffic-hungry online content creators adding fuel to the fire, many netizens flooded Chelsey's Twitter with comments. They insulted her, and some even sent hateful private messages. Chelsey's Twitter was blowing up. With a miserable expression, she told Sandra, "I'm innocent! What does this have to do with me? Lucas and I divorced a long time ago.""Do you want to post your divorce certificate online? Let these people kn
Lucas could remain calm even in a life-and-death situation. Yet, he struggled to figure out how to deal with the chaos on Twitter. "I've handed it over to the PR team to handle. They've removed the news articles that have gone viral," Lucas reported dejectedly.Still, Chelsey wanted to give him a good scolding. "You've ruined everything! There are people causing havoc at my stores across the country."They're demanding refunds. Even wealthy clients are canceling their orders. Do you know how much I've lost financially?"Chelsey reckoned Lucas should stay away from Twitter. Otherwise, he would only cause more trouble."All your losses are on me. I'll compensate you," answered Lucas.He was straightforward when it came to matters of money. Lucas then added, "Just ignore all the comments online. I'll have someone handle them.""Okay. Deal with it as soon as possible. I'll stay offline these few days."Chelsey then picked up her sketchbook. "If there's nothing else, you can
Sandra chimed in, "Alright! Let me join you! I'll create a fake account, too.""Okay."Chelsey had already created a bogus profile. After that, the duo happily attacked Lucas on Twitter.But before they were done, Chelsey received a money transfer from Lucas. She was stunned at the number of zeroes in the total sum. Chelsey carefully counted them, and to her astonishment, there were eight zeroes. Lucas had transferred 100 million dollars to her. Was this his compensation to her?Chelsey was about to return the money when she received a message from Lucas. "Sorry, my bank transfer has a daily limit of 100 million dollars. I'll transfer another 100 million to you tomorrow."She wondered if he was planning to reimburse her with 200 million dollars.Chelsey did not know if she should be happy or upset with this unexpected windfall. "Can you guess how much Lucas reimbursed me?" she asked Sandra."How much?" Sandra's curiosity was piqued. Chelsey replied, "He just transfer
Shannon covered her face and slumped onto the ground, crying. "Mom, what should I do? I shouldn't have returned…""Shannon, you mustn't give up so easily!" Jasmine sat on the ground, holding Shannon tightly. Her gaze was firm and fierce. "Mom, I've lost. I have to admit my defeat." As Shannon spoke, she lifted her hand, which was still in a cast. "I hesitated to tell you the truth because I was worried you'd feel sad."To be honest, Lucas orchestrated my accident. It wasn't just a simple car collision. "He did it to punish me for dealing with Chelsey. Lucas will do anything for her."Jasmine's face turned pale upon learning the truth. A second later, she burst into tears. "There's not a single good man out there! Lucas treated you so well before. "But now, he committed such an act without batting an eyelid. How could he do this to you? "Oh, Shannon, my poor child. Life has been hard on you."Shannon responded, "Mom, we can't go after Chelsey anymore. Lucas will ne
Jasmine sighed before saying, "I think it's a pity they broke up just like that. They used to be so close. "But then again, Shannon might be better off. She wouldn't be happy if she married a man who doesn't love her."Josie finally understood the events. "Are you saying Luke and Shannon have broken up?""You didn't know about this? It's all over the news. It even made it to the trending list," Jasmine replied, surprise evident in her expression."I don't even know where to go to check buzzworthy news." Josie still could not believe it. "Did they really break up?"Jasmine answered solemnly, "Yes. How could I joke about something like this? Breaking up might be for the best. "It's better to rip the Band-Aid off quickly than to peel it off slowly. Shannon is free now.""Why did Luke break up with Shannon?" Josie asked, despite having an answer already.She figured that it must be because of Chelsey. After Lucas and Chelsey divorced, he always thought about her. There we
Sandra flashed a satisfied smile as she wrapped her arms around Micah's neck and kissed him. "Please be gentle. I'm afraid it'll hurt… Mmm…"An hour later, Sandra lay limp in Micah's arms. Both of them were drenched in sweat.Although the car was not spacious, it did not affect Micah's performance. Sandra was very satisfied with him. He turned to look at the sleepy Sandra and gently asked, "Does it still hurt?""Yeah…"Sandra did not expect it to hurt so much to the point she'd cried in pain.Now, she was exhausted. She did not even have the strength to keep her eyes open.Micah reached out to gently wipe away Sandra's tears. "Are you satisfied?""Yeah," Sandra replied as she embraced him tightly. At that moment, all she wanted to do was sleep. Sandra then fell asleep. She had no idea how she returned to the hotel.When she woke up, it was already morning.Micah was lying beside her, and neither of them was wearing anything. Her eyes lit up at the sight of his hand
Micah's judgment may be somewhat clouded, but he was still aware that he and Sandra were in the car.It was their first time doing the deed. Wasn't it too intense for it to happen in the car?"Let's head back to the hotel. The car is too small," Micah said as he grabbed Sandra's hand, his voice hoarse but sexy. Sandra looked at him seductively. "Are you sure you can hold on until we return to the hotel? I can't stand it anymore. I want it now…"She stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips as she spoke. Every move of hers was charming.Micah was both amused and helpless at the sight of Sandra's eagerness. He had never met such an unrestrained woman like her. She was indeed a lethal poison. Micah's throat felt like it was on fire. He swallowed hard and replied, "It's our first time. Let's not be hasty. We can enjoy it better in the hotel room."Sandra was not the only inexperienced one. It was also Micah's first time. He felt that doing it in the car lacked a sense
Sandra's suggestive tone caused Micah's heart to flutter, and indescribable images appeared in his mind again. His lips trembled as he nervously asked, "W-What do you want to do?""What do you think I want to do?" Sandra winked at him and then licked her lips. Everything was implied but left unsaid, understood without being spoken.Micah felt both excited and awkward. He cleared his throat before replying, "It's too fast.""We'll get there eventually. So, why not do it sooner? We can enjoy it in advance," Sandra said seriously.Once again, her logic left Micah at a loss for words.He took a deep breath to remain rational. Micah refused to let his instincts take the reins once more. "We've just started dating, and there's no guarantee we'll continue to do so. I don't want to hurt you if we don't work out."But Sandra did not seem to care. "Why is your thinking still so conservative in this day and age? I'm not concerned about it, so why should you?"She merely wanted hi
Sandra did not answer Xenia's question. Instead, she replied, "The crawfish here tastes good. It's big and fresh."But Xenia showed no interest in the crawfish. She was captivated by Micah, her eyes lingering on him."Sandra, is he your boyfriend or bodyguard?"Sandra shot Xenia an annoyed glance and answered, "He's my boyfriend. What's it to you?""Nothing much. Your boyfriend suddenly rushed onto the stage and disrupted the filming. Mr. Dodd was pissed. Tell your boyfriend he shouldn't do that again. Even if he wants to become famous, that's not the way."Xenia's words were somewhat sarcastic, leaving Sandra feeling uncomfortable.The latter retorted, "My boyfriend doesn't want to become famous. He rushed onto the stage because he saw I was feeling unwell. "If it weren't for him, I'd have died by now. And if someone dies, the filming can't continue, anyway."Sandra did not know hypothermia could be so severe. She thought she could have toughed it out.Fortunately, Micah h
Sandra could break up with Micah next month if everything went smoothly.She playfully winked at him and said, "It's your turn to feed me."Micah choked on his saliva upon hearing that.They were in public, so he dared not do it at all. However, Sandra had already opened her mouth."Hurry up and feed me."Left with no choice, Micah peeled a crawfish and fed her.After eating that, Sandra smiled and demanded, "I want you to feed me with your mouth.""Don't push your luck."At that point, Micah's face had turned red as a tomato.Despite being an upright person, Sandra had led him astray. His mind was now filled with unwholesome thoughts."I will push my luck," replied Sandra. She then pouted coquettishly. "Quick! Feed me!"She had thoroughly gotten the better of him.Micah became a man without principles, only capable of spoiling his girlfriend. He could not bring himself to refuse her demands.With a crawfish in his mouth, he turned to feed it to Sandra.She aggressi
Sandra did not want to order takeout at the hotel.So, she searched online for a highly-rated restaurant and asked Micah to drive there.Sandra had chosen an eatery that specialized in crawfish. Upon their arrival, she boldly ordered 22 pounds of crawfish, some side dishes, and beer. The crawfish soon arrived, and the plate was almost as big as the table. Sandra rolled up her sleeves and immediately dug in. She also poured beer for herself and Micah."I need to drive, so I can't drink," said Micah."Don't worry. We can just call for a driver. Let's drink together. It's no fun drinking alone."After saying that, Sandra picked up her glass and took a big gulp.She even put her feet up on the chair while eating, displaying her carefree demeanor.It was Micah's first time seeing a female celebrity who was unconcerned about her image. He suddenly found Sandra's bold and candid character rather adorable.As Sandra savored the crawfish, she paired each mouthful with sips of be
Trevor was even more handsome up close.He was a gentleman, smiling as he asked, "Can you stand steady?""I should be able to," answered Sandra.Initially, she was standing just fine, but then Trevor helped her. Sandra suddenly felt her legs go weak. Perhaps she could not stand steady now.Trevor helped her to the side and said, "You should sit here for a while. Continue filming when you feel better.""Alright."At that moment, Sandra hated herself for not bringing paper and a pen with her. Otherwise, she would have gotten Trevor to sign an autograph."He's so good-looking!" Sandra exclaimed inwardly.After that, Trevor returned to the stage. Owen dared not make a sound and only glared at Sandra, who innocently pursed her lips.How could Owen blame her? Trevor was the one who wanted to help her, after all. Suddenly, Sandra sensed an unfriendly gaze and instinctively turned to look. She immediately caught sight of Micah's darkened expression, his eyes gleaming with a hi
Sandra was not embarrassed by Micah's stare. Instead, she flirtatiously blinked at him and asked, "Do you want to join me for a shower?"Startled, Micah averted his gaze and quickly turned away. "Why didn't you close the door when you shower?"Sandra confidently replied, "Why should I close the door? You're not a stranger. Besides, you've seen every part of my body multiple times."Micah could not help but wonder if she was truly a woman. Why wasn't she shy or reserved? Sandra was bolder than any man. Micah gulped nervously before saying, "That's one way to put it. But don't you feel like you're at a disadvantage by letting me see your body?""If you think I'm at a disadvantage, why don't you show me yours? That way, we'll be even." Sandra then beckoned with her finger. "Come here. Let's shower together."At that moment, Micah felt that Sandra was up to no good, like a witch from a fairy tale.After hanging the shirt she requested on the wall, he turned to leave the b
Sandra burst out laughing after hearing that. She was surprised that Micah had a sense of humor and could crack jokes.Their relationship took another step forward without them realizing it.If it had not been for the filming in the afternoon, Sandra would have wanted to make love with Micah immediately. She wanted to get it done as soon as possible because she had been waiting for this day for too long. After giving birth, she could focus on her career without needing to worry about all these matters anymore.Sandra had made a deal with her parents. They would take care of her child, and she did not need to be involved. The child would grow up and inherit the family business, while she could do whatever she liked and live a carefree life.In actuality, Sandra had no desire to date or marry. She just wanted to be alone.She could find several men to accompany her if she ever felt lonely.Meanwhile, Micah was completely unaware of Sandra's plans. He was even planning to in
