Ailina’s POV:I directly took a taxi to Leon’s house.He had just woke up. Seeing me coming over, the old man was overjoyed. “Ailina, you came to my place twice in two days.”I smiled and nodded. “Are you happy?”He nodded and then shook his head. “Why didn’t you bring me breakfast?”I thought for a while and said, “How about I make some for you now?”His face filled with fear, “No need.”“It’s fine. I have love to do that. I will go and see what’s in your refrigerator.” I continue to smile.“I am not used to eating breakfast!” he said with a serious expression.I was surprised. “You, a doctor, are the one who pays the most attention to health. How can you not eat breakfast? I will cook some for you.”Then, I run into the kitchen leaving him behind.I saw that there were eggs and bread in the fridge. I also decided to do what I was capable of. So, I plan to cook something easy that I had learned from an online tutorial before. I decide to roll the bread in the egg liquid, and then fry
Vivian’s POV:I recalled yesterday’s situation and told her about what happened. Of course, I didn’t mention that I had drugged Selena first.“So, you mean Ailina deliberately put medicine on your clothes?” She asked.I nodded.She thought for a while and said, “But according to Richard, this time Leon Murphy rescued you because of Ailina. If she wanted to harm you, why would she ask Leon to do the operation for you?”“She helped me? Are you kidding me?” I trembled with anger.She didn’t say any more.At noon while I was eating, Dad came over to see me and comforted me for a while. I told her my father about my suffering.He was very angry and decided to teach Ailina a lesson.In the afternoon, Kelly came to see me.I asked her. “Is the crew filming today?”She said hesitantly, “Yes.”“I still have four scenes left.” I said.She lowered her head and didn’t look at me. “You don’t have to film today.”“Yes, I know. Go back and tell Directly Lewis that I only need three days. When the ga
Lewis’ POV:I looked at her carefully, then I found that this person was Vivian. I remember that day when she was bitten by a dog. Thinking that my tone slows down, “Vivian, look at the wound on your body…”I looked at her ear and recalled the bloody scene yesterday. “Did you have an operation on your ear? You should rest in the hospital for few more days. Why did you run back to the crew?”Her eyes filled with tears. “I heard that you are going to delete my four scenes.”I raised my head and looked at Kelly, who was beside her. “I am not deleting your scenes. Your acting skills are pretty good. Everyone in the crew knows about it. However, the date of for the release of this movie had already been set. Your injury needs to time to recover. You cannot finish it certainly. These four scenes will not have much impact on the movie. You can use a substitute person to perform for you. Don’t worry, female number two is you.”Hearing my words, she cried, “I don’t need the time to rest. Direc
Vivian’s POV:Four days later, I returned to the crew. Kelly said, “Vivian, your scenes almost got deleted this time. If it were not for Miss Blake, you would be failed. You have to thank Miss Blake, right?”I nodded and said, “Sure, I have to thank to her. Miss Blake is first-rate celebrity. It is said that her family is also rich. What can I send to her?”Kelly lowered her head and thought for a moment, but she didn’t think of a way.I looked at the bracelet on my wrist and said, “I will give this bracelet to miss Blake. This bracelet was left to be by my mother. My mother said it was passed down from her family and it’s expensive.”She nodded, “This bracelet is good.”I asked Kelly to find a box for me.She said, “Vivian, have you ever thought of signing a contract with the company? You are being bullied now because you don’t have a backer. Look at Miss Blake, even if she doesn’t come here for a long time, no one would dare to delete her scenes.”I frowned. “Of course I thought abo
Ailina’s POV:Half a month later, I received a call from Director Lewis.“Miss Wilson tomorrow is the signing banquet. I hope you can come.”I hesitated for a moment, but Jenny, who was beside me, pulled me and said, “Promise, Ailina. I will go tomorrow as well. There will be some investors tomorrow. I don’t know them, so it will be boring. Come with me, we can still have a chat together.”I smiled and said, “Alright, I will go.”He was happy that I agreed. “Phoenix, I will prepare it now.”“Wait!” I stopped him and said, “What are you planning?”He was stunned. “Oh, I got it. You don’t want others to know you are Phoenix.”I nodded. “Alright, then I will hung up.”“Wait!” He hurriedly said, “Sorry, I am afraid I have a little favor to ask you.”“Okay, what is it, Director Lewis?” Titling my head, I held my phone with my shoulder and signed the document that Jenny had sent me.“May I have one your autograph book? I know you just published a new book, Joy of Life. So, I’m wondering whe
Ailina’s POV:Those who were still surrounding me subconsciously took a step back and sat next to Vivian. They separated from me by several seats on purpose.There were only Selena and Jenny sitting beside me, but I didn’t care about such a thing.Jenny was a little annoyed and snorted. “Idiot. I am afraid you won’t know why you’ll die?”“You really want Phoenix autograph?” I turned around and asked Selena.She smiled with embarrassment, “Yeah.But I know it’s precious. It’s not something a person like me can have. I just want to see Phoenix’s signature.”I tilted my head and said, “I don’t understand. It’s just too scrawling words. You know, like something written by a pupil.”Jenny could not help but burst into laughter. “You know yourself well.”But Selena’s face turned pale. “Miss Wilson, I don’t think its polite things to say Phoenix like this.”Jenny smiled with an unfathomable expression, but I didn’t say anything else.About ten minutes later, all those important people came.V
Anya’s POV:Everyone in the room was still talking about Phoenix’s new book.A few investors asked Director Lewis. “Director Lewis, Phoenix Joy of Life should be turned into a movie soon, right? Are you the director? We will be the investors as usual.”He rubbed his chin and said, “We are not sure yet. Perhaps, it will turn into a TV show first.”“Then, who will be the director?” Several investors asked.Director Lewis shook his head. “This book had just been published. Its not definite. To be honest, I didn’t even read it.”“It said that the first edition is sold out. Its hard to buy one.” Said an actress.At that moment, Vivian suddenly stood up and said to me in front of the others. “Anya, I got one here. A signed one. If you want, I will give it to you.”I looked at her. I didn’t expect that Vivian would say that she wanted to give me an autograph book in front of so many people. Everyone here knows that the autograph book of Phoenix was hard to get.By doing so, Vivian wanted to
Selena’s POV:I was a bit anxious. I didn’t know why that book was found in Miss Wilson’s bag. But I didn’t believe that she had stolen Vivian’s book.I gritted my teeth and said, “Miss Wilson will never steal your book.”“But if it weren’t her, why was the book found in her bag?” Vivian asked. She raised her eyebrows and looked at me.I opened my mouth, but I didn’t know how to reply.Just at this moment, Miss Wilson pushed open the door with five books in her arms.Everyone looks towards her.Ailina’s POV:I felt somewhat embarrassed when I found everyone in the room looking at me. I gave a little cough, then looked at Jenny. “What happened?” I mouthed the question.Jenny stroked her forehead helplessly and said, “Just come in and you will know.”I walked in with the books in my arms. My face changed the moment I saw my bag split open. I asked coldly, “Who did that?”I raised my head. My cold gaze drifted around the room and finally settled on the book in Vivian’s hand.She sneered,
Angelina POV:I had intentionally been late for forty minutes today, but I didn’t expect Charlotte to come later than I did.I called Charlotte angrily, “Charlotte, where are you? Why haven’t you arrived?”She answered gently, “I have been here for an hour. Where are you?”Charlotte turned around and looked at me. Then she waved at me.Only then did I see her, but I couldn’t believe that the woman who was waving at me was Charlotte.‘Was she Charlotte, who never knew how to dress up and couldn’t differentiate body lotion and cream?’How could she be so delicate now?I thought that I was certainly mistaken.She called out to me, “Angelina, I am here!”Hearing her voice, I was convinced that the woman was Charlotte.I was a little panicked. Charlotte changed a lot.I had seen Charlotte just now, but I didn’t recognize her. I
Charlotte’s POV:Patrick kept looking at me, so I became a little embarrassed. I didn’t dare to look up at him and flushed.“Don’t think too much. I am thinking about the color of eyeshadow and lipstick that suits you. Your skin is a little yellow and dark, and it may be because of cooking smoke. Remember to apply primer every day.” He reached out his hand and held my chin.His hand was delicate but powerful.I felt as if there was electricity in his hand and my chin became numb.Other than Ethan, no other man had touched my face like this.I wanted to retreat, but I held on and didn’t move. ‘Patrick was just on his duty and gave me makeup. He has no other thoughts, so I couldn’t think much about that.’I stood up quietly, but I didn’t know what I could look at.So, I looked around without purpose.He said, “You must look determined. Otherwise, if your beh
Charlotte’s POV:I smiled as I saw Patrick was enjoying the food.I like cooking and take it as a pleasure. I would be delighted to watch others finish my dishes.But in the past, every day, that man would not take a single bite of every meal I cooked as awaited him at home until midnight.I still remember that on his birthday, I cooked a table of dishes and baked a cake myself. I sat still until midnight, but what waited for me was that my husband was staying with his sister, Angelina.I was devastated and poured out all the dishes.“What are you thinking? Hurry up and eat. It's so delicious.” Patrick talked with me as he stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth. “How long has it been since I have eaten this braised pork? It’s so delicious and not greasy at all. My mom used to cook this. I ate very much every time, and I was fat when I was a child. It was the happiest time ever.”As he spoke, he seemed to recall the scene of the past as his eyes became slightly wet.I picked up
Evan’s POV:I thought Ailina would scold me as usual. I was surprised that she called me brother.I put my phone down and made sure whether it was Ailina.‘Did I answer the wrong call?’I check the phone number. It was Ailina because I already kept her number in my mind.“Then, speak a few words.”I needed to recheck the voice.“Brother Evan, please help me. It’s really urgently!” She pled.I was lost for words.I was still surprised and thought for a moment.Then I said, “What can I do for you?”“I need to borrow something.” She said.“What?” I asked.“I want to borrow someone and it’s you!” she said.“Me? Ailina, I am still virgin. What do you want me for? I don’t want to borrow. No way. I will leave it for my wedding night.” I howled over the phone as I covered my chest.She squeezed out two words, “Knucklehead.”“What do you mean?” I shouted.“Alright, my bad! I am borrowing you, not your wedding night, okay?” She surrendered.“How?” I asked.She explained her thoughts and Charlot
Ailina’s POV:It seemed that Charlotte wanted to say something to me, but she held back.After I finished checking the documents, I signed my name on it. Charlotte didn’t say anything and was about to leave. I stopped her and said, “Charlotte, what can I do for you?”“No, thanks.” She shook her head.“Don’t lie to me. What’s the matter?” I looked at her and said.She turned back and stood in front of my table. She asked, “What’s bothering you? Haven’t you slept well last night?”I touched my face and smiled, “Nothing important. Tell me, what’s the matter?”She pursed her lips and said, “I will go make two cups of coffee first.”“So let’s go to the dining area together.” Then we went to the dining area. I stood beside and watched Charlotte making coffee. She was skilled at making coffee. She ground the coffee beans, cooked the coffee, and poured it into cups. And she could even make latte art.Charlotte treated her life with enthusiasm at patience, but fate didn’t treat her fairly.I t
Lillian’s POV:I was also curious. Before Rican returned to the Alfonzo Estate, I asked someone to unpack the three boxes.Seeing all kinds of luxury neatly arranged inside, I was stunned. “Heavens! Kevin come and see. Rican bought so many luxury gurus. Does he want to give them to me? I was really glad we had raised a filial son. But he bought too many.”Kevin walked over and was also stunned when he saw the three boxes. After a few seconds, he said, “If these are all for you, then you had better give him a black eye!”“Why?” I looked at him in confusion.Kevin sighed. “He doesn’t know what his old mother likes at all. Can this work?”I glared at him. “What do you mean?”He sighed. “Lillian, why are you glaring me at me? Hold back your anger first. I will call Rican and ask him to hurry back. When he cant back, you can stare him, scold him and beat him instead.”She raised her foot and kicked me. “Did you say I was old?”“I didn’t say that.”Kevin’s POV:I frowned and recalled what I
Ailina’s POV:When I returned home, Dad looked for me excitedly, “Ailina quickly come over and take a look.”I looked at him doubtfully, “What’s wrong?”“Look at these.” He pulled me to the small warehouse which stored my mother’s belongings.When I entered, I only felt that my eyes were filled with luxury logos.I frowned, “Who put these things here?”Dad said excitedly, “I put them here. So many bags and jewellery might cost thousand of dollars, right? Your boyfriend was so generous.”He rubbed his hand as he spoke, “I really didn’t expect that your boyfriend is such a wealthy man. Has he done any business recently and suddenly made a fortune? If it is the first time he has made so much money and bought you so many luxuries, then it means that he takes you seriously and can be together.”Hearing Dad’s words, I curled my lips
Ailina’s POV:I looked at Cathy coldly and didn’t say anything. I know that from the moment Cathy lost control, no one would support her to stay.I know Cathy too well. She was cowardly, greedy, and selfish. She was always worried that others would take advantage of her.“Don’t you have anything else to ask?” I quickly adjusted myself and asked the team members.Everyone turned to look at me and continued discussing driving skills. After all, they all loved raising cars, compared with that gossip, they preferred to study driving skills.Cathy saw everyone surrounding me again as if nothing had gone wrong with them. Her entire body trembled. Bruce held her, but she still didn’t move. Bruce gritted her teeth and stood in the hall, closing his eyes. “Cathy let’s break up.”Only then did she shift her attention from me to Bruce.“You… what did you say?” Cathy looked
Cathy’s POV:I gritted my teeth and looked at Ailina. At this moment, Ailina also looked towards me, but she didn’t have any emotion in her eyes. If she had never known me before.I was frightened by Ailina’s gaze.Just then, Gabe walked over to talk to me.He pondered for a moment and said, Cathy, in the future, you don’t have to come to Black Panther anymore. You will get married sooner or later if you get married. Your husband and your family won’t allow you to participate in car raising again. Our team will be in a difficult position because it takes too much energy and time to nurture a competent member.”When I heard that I was not allowed to come to Black Panther, my face turned gloomy. But I still tried to smile. Even if Gabe finished speaking, I didn’t know what he was saying. In my heart, there was always a voice, madly telling me that it must be Ailina who didn’t want to let me stay here.
