Shirley said, "Mr. Yates doesn't seem like that kind of person to me, though."

Dianne looked nonchalant.

"The more he doesn't seem like it, the higher the probability he's one. He doesn't seem like a reliable person to me."

Dianne became more straightforward in her speech after drinking several glasses of wine. It was Layla who realized that something was amiss.

"Dianne, was the scumbag you mentioned earlier actually Mr. Yates himself?" Layla asked.

When Layla gave it some thought, she thought that it did sound like Dianne was accusing Lucas of being a scumbag.

However, Dianne didn't admit it.

She simply took another sip of wine and said, "Let's stop chatting and start eating. The food's cold already."

Although she didn't answer the question, Layla had a hunch that the scumbag Dianne mentioned was none other than Lucas. After all, she and Dianne had been friends for several decades now.

After enjoying the meal, Chelsey felt bored, so she went out for a walk. Timothy a

    "The person beside her must be her husband then!" Michael thought. He thought it was awfully embarrassing of him to say those words when Chelsey's husband was right beside her at that time. He felt the urge to punch himself in the face."It's fine," Chelsey told him. "I'm going to take a walk. See ya." She waved him goodbye and walked with Timothy to the other side of the lake. Lucas could only watch as she left. Although he stood rooted to the spot, his heart was far away as it had followed after her when she walked away. …After walking for a while, Timothy sent Chelsey home because Dianne and her gang would be late in returning home that night. When Dianne arrived home, she headed straight to Chelsey's room and said, "Chels, you must not forgive Lucas. Don't let him fool you again. He's a scumbag. Us Jensons can afford to support you and your baby." Chelsey could still smell the alcohol off Dianne when she spoke. "Thank you, Grandma," she said, touched by Dianne's

    Dianne wasn't amused. "Don't call me Grandma. I'm not your grandmother, and I don't want to hear anything about the mess you made. Chels doesn't want to see you, so don't come here anymore." Despite typically getting his way in business matters, Lucas now found himself being reprimanded by an old lady. Feeling awkward, he pursed his lips in thought before saying, "Mrs. Jenson Senior, it was my fault for letting Chelsey down in the past. But now, I only want to protect and care for her." ​Dianne glanced at him, skeptical. "You sure know how to sweet talk your way through things, don't you? Chels is safe at home. We'll look after her, so you don't need to do that." After a moment of silence, Lucas said, "You might not know that Chelsey was abducted twice and that I was the one who saved her each time.""Chels was abducted?" Dianne's heart leaped into her throat as anxiety wrapped its claws around her heart. "When did that happen?" "It happened once when she was about 1

    "Okay," muttered Dianne as she wiped away her tears. She continued, "Lucas said that he saved Chels when she was abducted both times. He said he'll ensure her safety from now on." She added, "On second thought, he might not be that bad of a person. It seems like his feelings for Chels are real." Edward snorted in disdain. "If he truly was sincere towards Chels, then his feelings for his ex-girlfriend are also genuine. He's a playboy whose greed can't be satiated." Dianne sighed and said, "I don't know just how much Chels has suffered all these years. I thought she led a happy life all this time." …Chelsey woke up early the following day. She left home without having breakfast because she was going for her prenatal checkup. Dianne accompanied her to the hospital this time. Several cars with bodyguards escorted them. Timothy sent the bodyguards in the car in front of them, whereas Lucas sent the ones in the rear.When Chelsey and Dianne arrived at the hospital, a sta

    Chelsey answered unhesitatingly, "No."Dianne asked again, "Can't you reconcile for the sake of your child?" Dianne and the people of her generation believed they should strive to provide a complete family for their children, even if it meant sacrificing themselves. "No, I can't," Chelsey replied.She had completely given up on Lucas. She had given him a chance. Yet, she was disappointed by him once again.Seeing Chelsey's determination, Dianne could only imagine how much Lucas had hurt her. The more Dianne thought about it, the more sorry she felt for Chelsey. Dianne nodded and said, "Not forgiving him is fine, too. The baby is the precious child of the Jenson family. "He has nothing to do with Lucas and his family. Lucas can forget about taking him away.""Thank you, Grandma."After saying that, Chelsey leaned on Dianne's shoulder, smiling happily.…Back home, Chelsey saw Lia had returned. Lia sat in the living room, trying on the new necklace and ring she had bou

    Lia widened her eyes as she watched Fred hand the supplementary card to Chelsey.No one had treated her as favorably as that before.Every month, Fred would give Lia 20 thousand dollars only. Edward and Dianne would also give her the same amount. Lia had to save up for a long time to buy a Queen Jewelry necklace. However, Chelsey was given Fred's supplementary card so easily. Lia thought it was unfair. Feeling emotionally unsettled, Lia picked up her plate and ate her pasta with a darkened expression.Chelsey returned the supplementary card to Fred, saying, "Uncle Fred, I really don't need it. I have enough to eat and wear at home. There's nothing I want to buy. Thank you, I appreciate it.""Hey, no need to be so formal." As a straightforward person, Fred expressed his love and concern through money. Still, Chelsey refused to accept it. "I'm not being formal, Uncle Fred. There's genuinely nothing I want. Thank you."Nevertheless, Fred ignored her refusal. He immediatel

    Lia was surprised that Chelsey knew about Queen Jewelry.Lia chuckled awkwardly."So, you know of Queen Jewelry, too." "Queen Jewelry has been quite popular in recent years. There are exclusive counters in major shopping malls. It's hard not to know about them," Chelsey replied casually. "Oh, right. Jenton City isn't a remote place. There must be Queen Jewelry bespoke corners there."Lia pretended she meant well and continued, "But Chels, you're too plain. You don't even wear jewelry. If you go out like this, people might think my family is mistreating you."Lia's words amused Chelsey. She wondered what Lia meant by "my family". Wasn't Chelsey a part of the Jenson family, too?Chelsey smirked before saying nonchalantly, "They won't. I don't go out much, anyway."She was accustomed to staying at home every day. Despite being a top jewelry designer, Chelsey did not have the habit of wearing them.She did not even like wearing makeup. Chelsey preferred a natural look. Noticin

    "Yeah," Dianne said thoughtfully, following Fred's realization that Lucas had saved Chelsey ten years ago."Chels married Lucas to repay his kindness."Fred asked anxiously, "Mom, do you know why Chels was kidnapped?"Dianne wore a solemn expression, lowered her voice, and responded, "Because of the vault."The coffee cup in Fred's hand instantly slipped from his grasp. The mug fell on the table with a bang.A wave of sorrow abruptly swept over him. Fred's eyes turned red as tears welled up. "Jeremy and Patricia died because of the vault. Why won't they spare Chels? "When they passed away, she was still a little girl. She doesn't know anything."Dianne sighed. "I don't know what's in the vault, but whoever wants what's inside can take them. I just want our family to be safe."With a grim expression, Fred took a tissue and cleaned up the spilled coffee on the table. After that, he poured himself another cup. Edward, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up. "Regar

    Lucas chuckled upon hearing Fred's request. "Um… Okay, please pass the phone to her, Uncle Fred.""Sure."Fred then put the call on speaker and held his phone before Felicity. Her sharp gaze swept across his face. It was evident that she thought he was annoying. Lucas' voice suddenly came through the phone. "Is this Felicity?""Yes," Felicity replied with a straight face. Lucas knew what she was like. But for Fred's sake, he reluctantly instructed, "Talk to Uncle Fred.""I'm a bodyguard. I'm not here to engage in small talk," Felicity responded straightforwardly.Lucas awkwardly cleared his throat at her remark. The other bodyguards might follow his orders, but Felicity had too much personality.Not even Lucas could manage her. "Uncle Fred," he called out."Yes, I'm right here."Fred, too, could see that Felicity was not one to follow Lucas' orders obediently. It seemed like he was putting Lucas in a tough spot.So, without waiting for Lucas to speak, Fred hurrie

    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
