Shannon was so shocked that she blurted out shrilly, "She's the owner of Queen Jewelry?"

She turned to look at Lucas. He was calm and collected. It seemed he'd long since known about this. In fact, the unfathomable look in his eyes as he gazed at Chelsey made the alarm bells in Shannon's heart ring. It made her feel on edge.

The server asked Shannon, "Ms. White, should I call the police now?"

"No, no. We don't need to involve them in this! You guys can go now!" Shannon felt like the Vashmir sapphire necklace, which she'd been so proud of earlier, was now a hot potato. Still, she had no choice but to grin and bear it.

The servers quickly backed out of the room.

Albert frowned at the necklace in Shannon's hand. Then, he turned to Chelsey and asked, "Where was the necklace found?"

Chelsey said bluntly, "In—"

Shannon was quick to cut her off. "It doesn't matter where it was found—the important thing is that we found it. It's all thanks to your good fortune that we managed to find it

    Lucas had always thought that Chelsey had married him when he was blind because of his money. Now, it seemed that she didn't need the money at all.Judging from how she'd talked about those oil paints, they were probably worth more than Shannon's Vashmir sapphire necklace.Shannon had nothing to be smug about anymore. She said to Lucas daintily, "I feel a little unwell, Lucas. Let's head home.""Alright. I'll send you home." Lucas left without mincing words.Shannon felt uneasy as she got into the car. She didn't know what Lucas was thinking. Did he trust her or Chelsey?She was so unsettled the whole way that she even forgot to get out when they arrived at her place.Lucas saw how distracted she was and said, "We're here, Shannon.""Huh? Oh." Shannon returned to her senses and forced out the sweetest smile she could. "Come in and have a seat, Lucas. I'll make you your favorite coffee.""No, it's fine. You should get some rest if you're not feeling well. Bye." He didn't get out

    Chelsey chuckled awkwardly. "Maybe you shouldn't joke about that, Tim.""I'm not. Three years ago, you insisted on marrying that blind bat so you could repay him. Now that his vision is restored, you've repaid your debt. It's time for you to divorce Lucas."Timothy had a wry smile on as he spoke. His eyes gleamed coldly as he met Lucas' gaze through the crowd.Chelsey dragged Timothy to a deserted corner and asked, "How do you know about all of this, Tim? Do you have someone watching me or something?""I wouldn't go that far. Jenton City's only so big, and I always have eyes and ears out for things like this." Timothy's eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at her. "You've suffered a lot for the past three years, Chels."But don't be sad. I'm here, and I'll stand up for you. No one will be able to do anything to you from now on.""Tim …" Chelsey was touched. She couldn't help but throw her arms around him. Timothy had doted on her since they were kids. They weren't related

    "Alright." Timothy gave Lucas a cold look before he and Chelsey walked over to Albert.Chelsey knew she couldn't hold her liquor, so she didn't actually drink much of it. She secretly drank juice in place of liquor to placate Albert.When the party was over, the maids had to help Albert back to his room. Timothy walked Chelsey to the parking lot and watched her drive off.Once she was gone, he turned to look Lucas in the eye. "Did you need something from me, Mr. Yates?""Before Chelsey and I get divorced, her business is mine!" Lucas enunciated. It was as if he thought of Chelsey as his belonging.Timothy looked amused. "You're an honest-to-goodness scumbag, Lucas. Chels is really unfortunate to have married you; you even insulted her and called her a caregiver. It really makes me feel bad for her."Hurry up and get the divorce over with. You may not love her, but there are many men who do."Lucas had seen with his own eyes how popular Chelsey was with the men. Not only was she

    Chelsey shook her head. "Shannon's the only woman in Lucas' heart. No one can take him away from her."Josie said consolingly, "You and Luke have spent the past three years together; I'm sure he has feelings for you. He's only distancing himself from you now because Shannon's return has confused you."What you need to do now is take the initiative. As long as you get pregnant, Shannon will only ever be a mistress and a homewrecker no matter what she does."Josie spent the whole morning brainwashing Chelsey into finding a way to get pregnant with Lucas' child.Chelsey listened to her but didn't make her stance clear. This made Josie so anxious that she almost called Lucas and ordered him to come over so he and Chelsey could immediately start making babies.Unbeknownst to her, Chelsey was already traumatized. When Lucas had called out Shannon's name while above her, it had made her feel like she was the saddest woman in the world. She'd totally lost interest in sex.Chelsey only ma

    A slight smile crept up on Timothy's face at being praised by Chelsey. "Do you like it?""I do!" Chelsey answered without giving it much thought."I'll give it to you then," Timothy offered generously."Oh no, there's no need for that. The exhibition is still ongoing. How can you just give it to me?" Chelsey waved her hands.She made a mental note to herself to watch what she said in the future. With Timothy doting on her so much, she couldn't be so casual in expressing her interest in things anymore.But Timothy paid no heed to Chelsey's refusal. He went up to a staff member of the exhibition and got him to take the painting down. Then after wrapping it up properly, he handed it to Chelsey.As he was adamant that Chelsey had it, she could only accept it."Hang it up when you get home," Timothy reminded."Sure!" With Timothy treating her so well, Chelsey could not bear to leave his painting gathering dust in a closet.Before they were done checking out the exhibition, Chelsea

    Josie came out of the kitchen with two bowls of soup. "Lucas, Chels, have some soup first. Dinner will be ready shortly."Chelsey stood up. "Mom, I'll go set the table.""Oh, don't worry about that. The table's already set. Have a taste of the soup. It's your favorite chicken mushroom soup. "The chicken's really tender. I let it stew for five hours. Go on, try it."Josie placed the two bowls of soup in front of Lucas and Chelsey respectively.Chelsey couldn't help salivating at the aroma of the soup. Without waiting any longer, she picked up a spoon and started tucking in. The soup was rich and savory, and it was the best soup she'd ever had. "Mom, the soup's amazing!" Chelsey said."I'm glad to hear that you like it! You can have more later!""Okay!"Josie stared at Lucas with a sense of urgency, but he did not drink the soup."Lucas, you should have some soup too!"Under Josie's persistent urging, Lucas picked up a spoon and took a sip of the soup. He reflexively fro

    Lucas wiped his nose with a tissue and found that it was covered in blood.Noticing it, Josie screamed, "Lucas! Your nose is bleeding!"Only when she heard Josie scream did Chelsey lift her head. She was shocked at the sight of Lucas' bloody nose.He was bleeding profusely. In the blink of an eye, his chin was covered in blood. He pulled out several pieces of tissues at one go and covered his nose before rushing into the bathroom."Chels, you should go check on Lucas," Josie said."Okay." Chelsey got up and headed over to the bathroom.Why was he bleeding so much all of a sudden? It was alarming! Was he suffering from some sort of chronic illness?The thought of that disturbed Chelsey to no end. Her eyes reddened, and she felt a lump in her throat.When she got to the door of the bathroom, she saw Lucas washing the blood off his face. He held a wad of tissues to his nose and turned to walk toward his room. Once inside his bedroom, Lucas opened the wardrobe and took out a whit

    Chelsey was astonished to hear what Lucas said. She stole a glance in the direction of the door. True enough, she caught sight of a figure flashing past outside the door, which was ajar.Lucas continued, "She's going to keep trying all sorts of methods to get things going her way if this doesn't work out. So, please, just put on an act."And with that, Lucas' scalding lips landed on Chelsey's throat. He peppered kisses along her collarbone, planting love bites on her skin."Lucas …" Chelsey pressed her palms against his chest. Her breathing quickened, and her temperature rose.Looking at Lucas, whose eyes were filled with lust, Chelsey recalled the first time she'd met him. It was ten years ago. She had been 12, and he had been 20.He had carried her on his back as they made their way out of the vast mountains. He cheered her on and promised her that they would make it out alive.Even after so many years, she still remembered how broad his back was, and how thick his should

    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
