Lydia thought for a moment before giving Ronald her number. Ronald happily accepted it and gave her his number in return."Amélie, if you ever need any help, don't hesitate to call me!"Lydia felt a warmth in her heart. Whether or not it was just a polite gesture, she was deeply moved.After Lydia left, Roxanne, noticing Ronald's lingering gaze on Lydia's retreating figure, tugged on his sleeve, clearly displeased. "Ronald, since when are you so interested in an older woman?"Ronald glanced at her. "What do you know? She is Amélie! The woman hailed as a miracle worker in the fashion industry. Besides, my mother is very fond of her! I thought I was mistaken earlier, but to see her here…"Ronald paused, his expression a mix of regret and reflection.Roxanne couldn't comprehend Ronald's sentiment.She rolled her eyes, clearly unable to accept the situation and feeling wary of Amélie.It wasn’t often that a woman caught Ronald's attention so quickly.Unbeknownst to Roxanne, Ronald’s inter
Nydia was deeply unsettled by the persistent appearance of Lydia in Lambert’s life.If Lambert regained his memories, all their previous efforts would have been in vain.She could not allow this to happen. Fortunately, her probing suggested that Lambert hadn’t been bewitched by Lydia.Nydia felt somewhat reassured, but she was unaware that her actions had already planted seeds of suspicion in Lambert’s mind.After comforting Odelia, Lambert found himself alone on the deck. He retrieved the ring Lydia had thrown at him from his pocket.The ring was well-polished, indicating how much its owner cherished it. Inside, he noticed the engraving "L&L."Staring at the distant, tumultuous sea, Lambert’s eyes grew darker.Could it be that everyone around him had been lying to him?Lambert's expression turned cold. If this were true, he had been nothing but a puppet since waking up. A man like Lambert could never tolerate such a situation.After some thought, he dialed a number, "Hello, I need yo
Odgen had plans for this child, hoping to groom him into a qualified heir. Thus, he decided to give Wythe a chance—one that would ultimately benefit them.Little did Odgen know that the child, after being turned away the first time, would sneak back in.This surprising determination only solidified their resolve to claim Wythe as their own.Without hesitation, Odgen called the front desk, instructing them to bring the child to the top floor, to the CEO’s office.The new receptionist was both thrilled and terrified to be noticed by the chairman, a mix of excitement and awe driving her efficiency in escorting Wythe upstairs.Wythe wasn’t particularly happy about meeting his grandfather.He had hoped to see his father, but instead, he faced the man who disliked his mother.This left Wythe feeling somewhat defeated.Despite his reluctance, Wythe maintained his politeness, following the receptionist to the top floor. He was familiar with the place, having visited before.As he walked, his
Having successfully breached the security system of the Halsey mansion, the next step was to create some chaos.But he wouldn't agree to be trapped here unless he was forced to! He wasn't in the habit of being kidnapped and then paying ransom!Twenty minutes later, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the Halsey estate. Nydia, in the villa, immediately stood up. "Butler, what's happening? Why is the alarm going off?"The butler quickly sent someone to investigate.The report came back swiftly, stating it was just an accidental incident.However, before everyone could relax, another alarm sounded from elsewhere.The successive alarms made Nydia's face turn unpleasant. "What's going on? Did someone break in?"The entire Halsey estate was in chaos. Not only were the alarms malfunctioning, but all the circuits and surveillance systems were also offline!Unaware of Nydia's actions, Wythe, playing on his computer in his room, quickly left. With his small stature, he darted through the bushes
Seeing Wythe get out of Ronald's car left Lydia momentarily stunned. What was happening?Wythe, however, quickly regained his composure. “Ronald, I know my mom is very beautiful, but it's not polite to stare like that! Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?”Ronald nodded eagerly, like a pecking chicken. “Yes, yes, yes!”Wythe rolled his eyes.Although this newly acknowledged big brother seemed smart, he often seemed intellectually challenged, especially around beautiful women.Before Ronald realized it, he found himself inside Wythe's cozy little villa. He sat on the sofa, taking in the warm, homely atmosphere. It was a place that instantly felt like home.“Amélie, I didn't expect Wythe to be your child!” Ronald exclaimed.“Neither did I. Thank you so much for bringing him back,” Lydia replied, grateful yet worried about Wythe’s venture to find Lambert.Although he seemed unharmed, Lydia feared the Halsey family might try to take him away.Ronald, observing the mother and son
Ronald was taken aback for a moment, then smiled warmly. “As you wish!”While Ronald brought Wythe back home, the chaos in the Halsey estate was finally being sorted out. When Nydia returned to her room, she was stunned to find Wythe missing.The computer screen was on, displaying a letter.“Dear Grandpa and Grandma, thank you for your kindness. After careful consideration, I’ve decided to stay with my mom. Although I want to go abroad to see my dad, it’s clear you wouldn’t agree to let my mom and me go together. So, I have to go back. Sorry for breaking the security system, but it will be restored in two hours. Don’t worry! Wythe.”Nydia had mixed feelings. On one hand, she was proud of her clever grandson.On the other, she was saddened by the distance in their relationship.More than anything, she regretted not being able to keep such a brilliant child close.But soon, they would have another grandson. They were determined to raise him well, hoping he’d be as smart as Wythe.Eagerl
Ronald made sure to arrange for the top agents in the company, as well as a personal assistant, to help Wythe.Lydia, still worried, accompanied Wythe full-time as his assistant.Due to Wythe's lack of prior exposure to music and dance, he had to undergo intensive training.Watching her son work hard brought tears to Lydia’s eyes more than once.If it weren’t for her, Wythe wouldn’t have to endure such hardships.Ronald’s entertainment company, Starburst Entertainment, was quite reputable.Being the pampered scion of the Arliss family, Ronald naturally drew a lot of attention.His numerous rumored relationships with female celebrities kept him in the media spotlight.Recently, however, his uncharacteristic reclusiveness had piqued the curiosity of journalists.Everyone speculated about what Ronald was up to, given that he hadn't made headlines in half a month. Even the Arliss family was curious, especially Ronald’s sister, Thera.She found it unbelievable that her brother, who changed
Lydia felt increasingly uncomfortable listening to the conversation between Thera and Ronald.Ronald, meanwhile, couldn't help but laugh bitterly."Thera, what are you thinking? Amélie and I don't have that kind of relationship!"Thera frowned. "Amélie? Where have I heard that name before?"She scrutinized Lydia's face again, then suddenly widened her eyes in excitement. Taking a step forward, she exclaimed, "Are you Amélie? The one who won the Golden Scissors Award?"Lydia was momentarily puzzled.What was going on? Thera had just looked at her as if she were an enemy, and now her attitude had completely changed?"Yes, I'm Amélie, or rather, my English name is Lydia. And this is my son, Wythe."Thera's eyes sparkled as she gazed at Lydia, as if she had just discovered a precious treasure. She grabbed Lydia's hand."Amélie, I can't believe I'm meeting you! Our family is such a big fan of yours. Your designs are absolutely stunning!"Feeling a bit awkward, Lydia withdrew her hand. "Tha
