The Winston family were just ordinary people and had never witnessed such a scene. They were scared out of their wits and, almost overnight, decisively left Nova City, disappearing without a trace.Verna, locked up at home, was completely unaware of all this. The only thing she knew was that Winston had called her to break up. Then, she saw the check stub that her father had personally written out—a hefty sum of five million dollars. Quite a number, indeed. With that amount, Winston could certainly work ten years less.He actually broke up with her for money? Abandoning their relationship? She couldn't believe it, but the evidence was right in front of her, impossible to ignore.Verna was heartbroken. Meanwhile, Odgen had come to formally propose to the Zheng family, which delighted Verna's parents immensely. They had thought all hope was lost, but the Halsey family’s support was a chance they couldn't pass up. So, the two families quickly agreed to hold a banquet to acknowledge Verna
Lydia followed Wythe's gaze over and froze there at once.Wythe asked cautiously, "Mom, is that Dad? I look like him..."Lydia's eyes suddenly turned red, and then her chest gushed with endless anger and grievance. She pursed her lips and spoke in a cold voice, "Don't worry about him. He has nothing to do with us now."Wythe bowed his head and murmured, "But he has been in the rain, so he will get sick. The teacher said that even if a stranger is in trouble, we should help him..."Wythe's voice was getting lower and lower, because he found that his mother seemed to be really angry. The little guy sat in the back seat of the car with his head hung low and did not say a word. He felt a little sad.Lydia saw her son's expression in the rearview mirror of the car and felt a little sorry, but when she thought of how unfeeling Lambert was before, she couldn't help but harden her heart. When she left, she was so unfeeling, and now she went to her house to play a bitter drama. She really didn
"There is no consensus. Yesterday was just an accident. Lambert, we are all adults, so we naturally have needs. Just treat yesterday as a mistake made by our hormone outbreak. Did you forget that I am no longer your wife!"Lydia deliberately kept a straight face and looked at Lambert with a cold gaze. Only her clenched fists exposed her nervousness at this time. Her whole body was discussing this topic with the other party without any inch. It really made people unable to show any momentum.However, this was not important. What was important was that if there was someone who wanted to bring it up first, then she would rather it be her who spoke up first. In this way, at least she could still retain her final dignity.Lambert's face was a little pale, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes carried a bit of innate indifference. His thin lips lightly opened, "Is this what you want? Only following the feeling of the body and not talking about feelings?"Lydia gritted her teeth, "Yes!"Lambert
"I know you must be worried about the media. Don't worry, we won't invite the media on the day of the engagement, and I will go to greet the relevant people in advance."When Clara heard this, she also took the words and said, "Yes, Lydia, you don't have to be afraid. We will all stand by your side to accompany you and protect you. No one dares to do anything to you! As for the media, leave it to Andrew's father to deal with it.Clara had already opened her mouth. Lydia could only sigh, "I know."Andrew breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously held Lydia's hand tighter. Although Lydia didn't struggle because of Clara's presence, she still felt a little awkward in her heart. Especially every time she saw Andrew look at her, she couldn't help but worry. After the matter was completely exposed, could Andrew still come out?The Chen family's parents were also very quick. The two of them quickly agreed on the engagement date. It was just a week later. Although it was a bit urgent, beca
"That's true. What do you think of Lambert now?"Thera's sudden inquiry made Lydia look dejected. She thought of the morning when she parted like a stranger. She was the one who offered to leave, but she always felt abandoned.Seeing Lydia in a trance, Thera understood in seconds. It seemed that she really hadn't come out of her original feelings, and she didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing."Actually, I met Lambert once before...""Ah? When? What did he come to you for?" Thera was a little excited and a little worried that Lydia would be hurt because of this."I don't know what he's here for. It was the day of the heavy rain when he stood alone outside my house. I, I didn't hold back, so I let him in."Lydia's face quickly flashed with annoyance and shyness, causing Thera's heart to thump. "You didn't have sex with him again, did you?"Lydia looked down in embarrassment. Thera had understood everything from her reddened ears and was immediately speechless. "Lydia
Andrew, satisfied, took her hand and said, "Let's go, Lydia, don't keep the designer waiting!"Lydia, reluctantly, was led out of the café by Andrew. Meanwhile, Wythe's cunning gaze fell on their joined hands, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he pursed his lips, lost in thought.What Lydia and Andrew didn't know was that just around the corner in a black Bentley, Bob was faithfully reporting the situation."Boss, Andrew and Lydia have left the café. Should we continue following them?"Lambert was silent for a long time before his hoarse but determined voice came through, "Follow them!"Bob quickly followed. Twenty minutes later, Lambert received the news that Lydia and Andrew had entered a bridal shop.His heart sank to the bottom, and then was filled with the flames of anger, making him increasingly irritable. "They went to a bridal shop?""Yes, from their conversation, it sounds like they are planning to get
Andrew didn’t insist. Somehow, he managed to convince his parents to let Lydia go directly to the hotel with him. Thera had also arrived early. As the bridesmaid, she naturally stayed close to Lydia. Lydia looked at her reflection in the mirror, feeling a bit dazed.Under the makeup artist’s skillful hands, Lydia’s originally delicate face became even more radiant. Her long eyelashes fluttered like little fans, creating ripples in one’s heart. Her glassy eyes, though confused, added a touch of softness, making it hard to look away."You look stunning, Lydia!" Thera couldn't help but praise, causing Lydia to blush."Thera, stop joking. You know the truth behind all this...""No matter the reason, beautiful is beautiful. Speaking of which, we didn’t know each other during your previous engagements, so I couldn't be your bridesmaid. I’m quite happy to have this chance now."Faced with Thera’s teasing, Lydia fe
Chad gently reassured his wife, "Don't worry, they're probably stuck in traffic. Andrew called earlier and said they'd be here soon."Clara eagerly looked forward to the arrival of her son and his wife, hoping to put her mind at ease.Meanwhile, across the street, a black Bentley was parked, its occupants also waiting for the wedding car to arrive. Lambert tugged at his collar in agitation, his furrowed brow indicating his foul mood. Bob sat silently beside him, not daring to make a sound for fear of provoking his boss's ire."Why aren't they here yet?" Lambert asked coldly.Bob started, then quickly replied, "They must have been delayed on the road."Lambert frowned but said nothing more, closing his eyes as if to rest. Bob noted the deep exhaustion on his boss's face and sighed; it seemed Lambert hadn't slept at all last night.At 9:10, the motorcade finally appeared, the lead wedding car pulling up to the hotel entrance. Andrew was the first to step out, a slight smile on his face,
