Lydia's face was pale, and her dark eyes were filled with unspeakable sorrow."Do you really have to leave?"After a long pause, Andrew finally spoke.He knew that his actions yesterday had frightened Lydia, but he never expected her to be so resolute about leaving."I'm sorry, Andrew. I should have left long ago. It's just that the house at SG Manor wasn't ready before. Now it's time to move."Lydia had bought the house at SG Manor specifically for herself.Due to various reasons, she hadn't moved in. But after what happened, she felt that staying here was selfish.Lydia had spent a sleepless night reflecting. Since her return, she had unconsciously treated Andrew as family.When her father schemed against her, her ex-husband betrayed her, and she was all alone, Andrew's presence felt like the brother she had always yearned for.She indulged in this sense of "family," unaware of the harm it caused Andrew.Clenching her fists, Lydia's face turned even paler. How could she have been so
Ogden quickly followed suit. "Since you can't eat, let's have a good chat. Someone, clear these dishes and bring some desserts and drinks."The butler swiftly carried out the instructions, and soon the table was cleared of the food, replaced by plates of exquisite desserts set before Odelia."Odelia, let's talk!"This was the first time Nydia had spoken so seriously to Odelia since she moved into the Halsey house, making Odelia sit up straight unconsciously."Auntie, whatever you need to say, please just tell me directly. I'll definitely do my best."Nydia smiled. "You're a smart child; I don't need to say much. But you understand Lambert's situation. While we've all accepted you, Lambert's feelings are something you need to win over yourself. He has forgotten his past, which is the best and maybe the only chance for you!""I know!" Odelia nodded.She was well aware that her current position beside Lambert was sheer luck.If Lambert hadn't lost his memory, how could she have ever ente
However, what puzzled Lambert the most was that he felt almost nothing towards her.It was as if the woman lying on the bed shouldn't be the one in front of him.This strange sense of dissonance made Lambert sit gentlemanly on a nearby sofa, avoiding further glances at Odelia after that initial look.Odelia was furious.Here she was, lying on the bed looking sexy and alluring, and Lambert didn't even spare her a glance.He had instead sat on the sofa and turned on the television!Could the TV program be more attractive than her?Biting her lip in frustration, Odelia struggled to contain her anger.After a moment, she decided that if the mountain wouldn't come to her, she'd go to the mountain.She got off the bed and slowly approached Lambert, sitting beside him.Her pale fingers traced Lambert's skin, moving teasingly. "Lambert..."Odelia breathed softly into Lambert's ear, her voice low and sultry, her posture enticing. She wrapped her arms around his waist, finding his firm, toned b
“Are you really going to take down those bodyguards? Your legs are thinner than their arms. How can you fight them?”“Who said anything about fighting?” Wythe pouted. “Mom, you underestimate me. Violence is the most foolish way to solve things. We need to use our brains! Besides, I’ve come up with three different plans, A, B, and C. We’ll find a way!”Wythe’s little face was full of pride!Lydia felt her mood lift inexplicably. She reached out and ruffled Wythe’s hair. “Alright, little man, Mom is counting on you tomorrow. But for now, let’s go to bed so we’ll be in good spirits.”Wythe nodded vigorously, rubbing his head against Lydia’s shoulder, yawning. “Mom, I know! Will you sleep with me?”Lydia nodded at her son’s rare display of affection. She lay down with Wythe, watching his face that resembled Lambert’s so much, and slowly drifted to sleep.The next morning, Lydia woke up to find Wythe already up, holding a beach ball in one hand and a remote control airplane in the other, s
From Lara's words, Lydia gleaned some crucial information.First, these people were brought here by Downey and did not belong to the same modeling agency, so they were not very familiar with each other. This made Lydia feel quite relieved.Additionally, Lydia learned that they were here to entertain some wealthy businessmen and young heirs and would soon be taken to the main venue.She also heard that Lambert, the organizer, would be present there.With this new information, Lydia decided not to leave quietly but to follow the group, hoping it would be less conspicuous.With her mind made up, she felt much less anxious.Sure enough, it wasn't long before the flamboyant man named Downey approached them. "Listen up, when you meet those bosses, make sure you impress them. These people hold your future in their hands. If any of you plan to enter the entertainment industry, you'd better serve them well. They are your gods!"Downey's pep talk seemed to boost everyone's confidence.Those who
Ronald didn't pursue Lydia further. Knowing her name, he wasn't in a hurry.Since she was brought by Downey, he could easily find out more about her later.Putting Lydia aside for the moment, Ronald turned his attention to chatting with Lara.Meanwhile, Lambert left the party feeling irritable. He found such gatherings incredibly dull, but Odelia seemed to enjoy them immensely.Walking down the corridor, looking for a quiet place to smoke, he sensed someone following him at a distance.Lambert frowned slightly. Was it his imagination? Why would anyone be trailing him on this yacht?His eyes turned cold. Whether he had lost his memory or not, he wouldn't tolerate anyone plotting against him.He quickly turned a corner, then watched as a graceful figure followed suit.It was Lydia, who had been chasing after Lambert. She was now panting and searching anxiously for him. Lambert's frown deepened.He vaguely remembered this woman—she was supposedly the girlfriend of Sanctity Apparel Corpor
At that moment, a voice called out from the other side, "Annie, there you are! I've been looking for you everywhere!"Ronald stepped forward and grabbed Lydia's wrist, staring down Lambert. "Lambert, thanks for taking care of my person!""Let go of me!" Lydia angrily tried to shake off Ronald. "What are you doing? This is ridiculous!"Lydia admitted she was a bit angry, but her mind was also a mess. And now, of all times, a clueless young man had to show up.How could she properly talk to Lambert now?Even if he had moved on, she still needed to clear things up with him.Lambert had only recently heard of Ronald and knew of his bad reputation.Despite being the youngest of the Arliss family, Ronald was notorious for his lack of discipline.Seeing him with Lydia confirmed Lambert's suspicions."Come with me!" Ronald pulled Lydia, but she stubbornly refused to leave.Odelia, relieved, spoke up, "So Ronald, this is your person. Even if you like her, she can't just do whatever she wants.
Watching Ronald boasting in a serious manner, Lydia couldn't help but chuckle, feeling oddly better. She glanced at Ronald and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in young meat!""Tsk! No taste! I'm the school heartthrob!"With Ronald's antics, Lydia was thoroughly cheered up. She solemnly thanked Ronald, "Thank you, Ronald!""Okay, okay, enough of that. What are you planning to do next?"Rarely receiving such solemn thanks, Ronald felt a bit shy inwardly.The dynamics between people were indeed strange; some could know each other for years without becoming friends, while others could hit it off after just a brief encounter.As a playful young noble, Ronald was surrounded by either women aiming to climb the social ladder, sycophants flattering him, or those disdainful of him for having nothing besides his family background.Lydia, however, was one of the few who showed such sincere gratitude for a small favor he provided.If Ronald was initially more interested in Lydia, now he f
