Susan’s POV:
After breakfast, I was chatting with my daughter while applying nail polish.
Hallie asked, “Mom, why did Ailina suddenly became so different? And what did she mean today?”
I frowned, stretching out my hand so that she could also apply nail polish for me, saying, “What did she mean? She just wants to instigate the dispute between your father and me. She was like an instigator in this house. She not only wants to instigate your father but also the old man. The old man hasn’t let me for a long time. He must have listened to her calumny. I better arrange for her to marry some people earlier.”
Hallie paused for a moment. “Mom, what do you mean? Are you saying that you want Ailina and Darren to get married? No way! He is mine!” she said in a raised voice.
However, looking at Ailina, who was walking downstairs, I felt a little guilty. “Ailina, are you going out?” I asked.
She smiled calmly and nodded, “Yes.”
Then, she carried her bag and left.
As soon as she walked out, Hallie asked, “Mom, did she just hear us talking?” her voice was filled with panic.
“Hallie, mind your voice. She didn’t hear what we said before. But why did you suddenly raise your voice!” I said angrily.
“I…” She stammered.
“Mom, you been on the focused on the affair of you and dad every day, and I helped you along. But what about me? When will I enter the Moore family? Do you know how much I like Darren?” she said, gritting her teeth.
I laughed, “Isn’t that Darren already so fascinated by you that he can’t distract from you at all? Why are you so anxious?”
“But, didn’t he and Ailina about to get engaged? How can I not be in a hurry? Mom, Dad is so fascinated by you and obeys you on everything, but aren’t you also anxious about your future?” Hallie said, curling her lips.
“As a daughter, how can you say that to me? Only when I get marry with your father can you be a real Carter and called Hallie Carter. And only when you are Miss Carter, you are eligible to marry Darren Moore, understand? Otherwise, do you think Mrs. Moore let her son get married with a woman from some unknown background?”
After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, “Mom, what shall we do next?”
“The day before yesterday, you had such a good opportunity, but you missed it. If you have been succeeded that day, we would have not to worry about this. Till now, both of our businesses would have been solved!” I said helplessly.
Hallie gritted her teeth. “Who could know that Ailina, that bitch was so sensitive to the drug. Even though the drug was tasteless and colorless, she still recognized it and only took a sip of it.”
“A sip?” Hearing that, my eyes lit up and an idea suddenly popped into my mind.
Then, I took out my phone and made a call, “Help me find a computer expert!”
Ailina’s POV:
When I went back home, it was already noon. As I walked, I was talking with my assistant on the phone, “JK Entertainment just signed three new artists. You can train them.”
“Me? I won’t meet them. You can make all the decisions and don’t bother me by reporting every little thing. Jenny, you are the person I trust the most, understand?”
However, as soon as I reached the door, I saw a lot of people sitting in the living room.
Except for Dad, Susan, and Hallie, even Grandpa is also there. What’s more Darren and her mother are also present.
From the way they all looked at me, it seemed that they were waiting for me.
“Jenny, I will call you back later. There is something that I need to deal now.” I said to the person on the phone.
After I hung up, I walked inside.
As soon as Dad saw me, he said coldly, “Come over here!” His voice is filled with irritation and annoyance.
Hearing that, I walked over indifferently.
As soon as I walked over, he threw a stack of photos at my face, saying, “Ailina, look what have you done? Did you not care about the Carter family face?”
I frowned. Then, bent down and picked the photos from the floor. There are a total of five photos.
One is a photo of me drinking in the bar with my friends. Another one of me and a man going inside the hotel together and the rest of them are me and a man lying on the bed in different poses.
After looking at these photos, I put them on the table calmly.
Darren asked with a pained look on his face, “Ailina, am I not good enough for you? Why did you do this to me? We are about to get engaged, but you are fooling around with another man behind my back… You… you disappointed me so much…”
Hearing her lips, my lips curled up in a smile, and couldn’t help but sneered inwardly. ‘Disappointed? Shouldn’t you be happy? Had not been you messing around with Hallie all long, already?’
“How can you still smile?” Dad said angrily.
After scolding, he hurriedly looked at Mrs. Moore and apologized, “Madam Moore, I am so sorry. Ailina is still young and ignorant. Don’t worry, I certainly will knock sense into her.”
Hearing that, Madam Moore sneered. “Young and ignorant? Didn’t she know her identity? Didn’t she know that she is about get engaged with my son? Let me tell you Mr. Wilson, our Moore family will never accept a immoral woman like her as their daughter-in-law.”
Susan’s POV:The engagement between Ailina and Darren is nothing more than a business deal between both families in the first place.Hearing Mrs. Moore’s words, George panicked, “Madam Moore…”“Madam Moore, If we still have another innocent daughter of the Carters, can we still keep the engagement?” I said, interrupting him.“The Wilson’s still have another daughter?” Madam Moore frowned. Then, she looked at Hallie and said arrogantly, “My son Darren is the only heir of the Moore family and we don’t accept an illegitimate daughter for him.”I looked at George, but he looked at the old master.“Dad, please let Hallie marry Darren?” he begged.As soon as George finished speaking, everyone's attention fell on Old Mater, who was just sitting there listening to our conversation.However, instead, he looked at Ailina and asked, “Ailina, what do you think?”“Dad, how can you still ask her opinion. She doesn’t have a right to say anything. If it weren’t for her, would it be like that?” George
Darren POV:Before getting in the car, I paused and looked at Ailina.Every time I came to the Wilson’s before when I left, Ailina always told me to be careful on the way back home, reluctant to part from me.However, today even after waiting for so long, she didn’t say anything and just stood far away and looked at me to get in the car. There is not even a smile on her face.Because of this, I felt a little lost in my heart.“Girls need to be coaxed. Take some time to buy a gift for Ailina. Today she is indeed wrong!” Mom said, patting my hand.I nodded. However, today when I looked at Ailina I felt that she is different from before, I can’t tell what different is.Ailina’s POV:I was about to go inside when I suddenly saw a familiar figure on the side of the road and I went blank because of fear.He was the man I slept with.I ran to the man standing not far away. “What are you doing here?” I asked.The man didn’t say anything and looked at me for a while. Then, he finally opened hi
Rican’s POV:I didn’t answer him, instead, I got out of the car and walked towards Ailina who was sitting on the roadside with a piece of glass tied to her feet. It was seemingly deep and her feet were full of blood.She gritted her teeth in pain but didn’t make a sound.When she pulled out the piece of glass, the more blood came out from her wound.“Ah, this a cruel woman!” James said, covering his eyes.Seeing this I frowned slightly and carried the girl who was sitting on the roadside. However, I didn’t expect her to be so light.“What are you doing?”She asked, looking around in a panic, as if she was afraid of being caught by someone. Then, she breathed a sigh of relief.However, I ignored her question, I directly carried her into the car and then also sat inside.“Go to the hospital!” I said to James.“Yes, sir!” James replied, starting the engine.“No need to go to the hospital!” Ailina said.However, I ignored her words and continued to read the document.“Little girl, you are
Karl’s POV:I was about to scold George when my eyes fell on Ailina who was limping inside.Seeing this I frowned and quickly said to Steve, “Hurry up and help her.”Steve held Ailina on the sofa and her feet were covered with a thick layer of gauze, and asked with concern, “Ailina, what’s wrong with your feet?”“I accidentally got stuck by a glass, don’t worry!” she said with a smile.“Let me take a look.”I held her feet and took a look without hesitation, but my expression changed suddenly.“What’s wrong, Grandpa?” she asked.I shook my head. “It’s all right, all right, and you should be careful in the future.”“I will.” she nodded with a smile.Then, I got up and went back to the backyard. As I walked, George’s voice came from behind, “Dad, don’t you have some supper?”However, I didn’t answer him and walked in a hurry.Steve followed me into the backyard and asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”I paused for a long time not knowing what to say, then sighed, “What should come will come.”
Hallie’s POV:I sat in front of the mirror, looking at my chin, and couldn’t help but grit my teeth. “Ailina is a bitch!”However, when my eyes fell on the box in front of me, I couldn’t help but smile lightly and open the box.Inside the box is a design sketch.It was dropped on the floor today when the servants were sorting out the belongings of Ailina’s mother, and I picked it up. The design of this sketch is amazing.If I used it to participate in the design competition, I would certainly win the championship.At that moment someone knocked on the door, and I quickly put the sketch back into the box.My mother came in with a bottle of ointment in her hand. She applied ointment on my chin, saying, “Why did you mess with her?”“I just hate her patronizing manner,” I said angrily.“Alas, you had better focus on the design competition recently.” She put down the ointment and continued, “If you win an award in the design competition, your grandpa will certainly take a new look at you.
Hallie’s POV:“Ailina, I don’t know what misunderstanding you have with me and my mother. We used to get along very well, but why is it suddenly like this now?”I had always been struggling with this matter.It seemed that since I drugged her but failed that day, she had changed.‘Did Ailina know that I drugged her that day?’At that moment, a voice came out from the computer.“Player “Lucifer” is required to enter the ‘Burial Grounds’ within one minute. Otherwise, your qualification of the first kill will be canceled.’Hearing that, Ailina looked at the computer and skillfully manipulated the mouse. “If you have nothing to do with me, please go out!” she said.I bit my lower lip. “Although you don’t want to live in peace with me, I still want to live in peace with you. Sister, I will show you my determination. This is for you, and you must wear it tomorrow.”Saying that I handed over a crystal box. A blue gemstone necklace could be seen through the box.Ailina looked at the box sligh
Rican’s POV:I was not very fond of games and wanted to ignore James, but when I looked at his computer, I was taken aback by the data on it.Suddenly I became interested.In this game, I hadn’t seen a guy in orange defeat a gold player who had spent more than one million dollars, just by her speed of action.In my memory, the only person with such a fast speed of action was “Queen” who suddenly disappeared two years ago, and never appeared again.So, I decided to hack into the computer of that guy named “Lucifer” to see what was going on.Ailina’s POV:After Hallie went out of my room, I finished the game and went to the bathroom.When I came out after taking a shower, I saw my character standing on the square, now being surrounded by a group of players ring upon ring.“This is the guy who just completed the first kill of the new instance just now, and she completed the two hardest instances in a row.”“Hey, bro, how did you do it? What came out after you completed that instance?”“B
Hallie’s POV:Today Mom had invited the professional makeup artist and stylist to style me.She wanted me to become the focus of the audience today and completely defeat that bitch Ailina in beauty.Therefore, today, she spent a lot of money to specially invite them.Because of this, I got up at six in the morning to start to apply the makeup and facial treatments. While I was applying the mask, I came by and told Dad about the bad things about Ailina.I was surrounded by a makeup artist, and makeup assistant, a stylist, and two stylist assistants, who were helping me to get ready.After the makeup artists and the stylists had styled me, I was ready to stun everyone at the party.I took out my phone and called Mom, “Mom, I am ready.”Darren’s POV:The gusts had come one after another.The things in the living room were all removed, and many long tables were placed in a circle in the living room and covered with white cloth.The three long tables on the left were full of various fruits
Six months later.Wearing a white wedding dress, Adriana slowly walked toward Rican, who stood on the stage smiling at her.As she walked, memories from her previous life replayed in her mind over and over again. She didn’t know what kind of good deeds she had done in the past to deserve this second chance from God—a chance to protect her loved ones, to take revenge on those who had hurt her, and most importantly…A chance to meet the love of her life.Adriana knew there were still many challenges ahead, but she also knew that, from now on, she would never be alone. There was someone she could rely on when she was tired. Someone who would support her when she fell.After taking their vows, Rican and Adriana exchanged rings, and the crowd of family and friends erupted into applause and cheers."Now, the groom may kiss the bride," the officiant announced.Hearing this, Rican gazed at her deeply, lifted her veil, and then lowered his head to kiss her passionately."Thank you, Ailina, for
Patrick’s POV:Then, I began to apply makeup for Ailina. Her good skin speeded up her makeup, and her styling was also fast. I gave Ailina a white gauze dress. “Please change into this.”I looked at the dress with a frown, wondering, “What event do I have to wear a wedding dress for?”“It’s normal dress, not a wedding dress. Hurry up and change. The event will start soon.” I pushed her.Ailina had changed into the dress.She seemed to look elegant and extraordinary like a lotus after putting on the dress.“So beautiful. Alright, go ahead.” I snapped.Ailina’s POV:I looked at my appearance and felt that something was wrong.But I didn’t think too much about it. I asked Patrick, “Where is the event?”He said, “Go and ask others. They will take you there.”“Okay,” I walked out of the door.As soon as I walked out, a woman greeted me with a smile. “Miss Wilson, are you going to participate in the event? Let's go, I will take you there. I will be responsible for picking up the guests toda
Ailina’s POV:The hot air balloon we rode gradually took to the sky. The view at night was very different from the view during the day. Looking down from the sky, the lights were bright.I sat in the heart of the balloon and said, “I had rather be a part of the down there.”As soon as I finished speaking, something came in front of my eyes. I then saw a swarm of fireflies flying out of the hot air balloon. The fireflies that filled the sky were like stars, flashing.I was surprised, “Why are there so many fireflies?”Ricky hugged me and answered, “That’s a secret. Well, does it look good?”I nodded and reached out to catch the fireflies. He held my hand and said, “Be careful. You will fall.”I quickly grabbed the rope beside me and looked up. Suddenly, I found a very bright star. “The star is so bright. I am curious what the name of the star is.”He replied, “Let’s take a look.”I blinked, “Take a look?”He nodded and controlled the hot air balloon to fly up. “Yes.”I felt a little am
Ailina’s POV:Ricky raised his phone up and I could not reach it. We noisily ran to the edge of the island.There was a ship to pick us up there.We took a boat out of the island and then back to the shore.As soon as we landed, we saw our grandpas wearing beach clothes and hats and having a barbecue.Martin kept putting chill sauce on the roast. Grandpa stopped him and said, “No more chill sauce!”Martin ignored Grandpa’s words.Grandpa tried to snatch the brush from Martin’s hand.“Ailina likes spicy food,” Martin said.“Ricky doesn’t eat spicy food.” Grandpa disagreed.The two old men said at the same time. They looked at each other and laughed.Martin patted Grandpa’s shoulders and said, “Didn’t expect you to still remember that. Ricky doesn’t eat spicy food. Ricky is so lucky!”The grandpa also laughed. His eyes were full of gratitude. He replied, “I am so glad that you remember that Ailina loves to eat spicy food. Well, I’m reviled now. She must be happy living with you looking
At the moment, our paraglider landed on the ground.Before I could react, Ricky untied the equipment on my hand and walked towards me, holding my hand.In front of us was a sea of flowers with various colors. I did not even know any flowers. The wind blew gently, and the petals danced with the wind.“Where is it?” I looked at the sea flower, surprised, and walked into it.He followed me and said, “It’s called Jade Island.”“Jade Island?” I looked at him in surprise. “Why have I not heard such an island? Is it a name you gave?”“Yes,” he nodded.“You know how to give a name?” I laughed. “Then what is the original name of this island? I never knew there was such an island.”“I built this island, so I named it Jade Island. Is there a problem?” He raised his eyebrows.“No, absolutely not. You have a lot of money, so you have the final say.”“What kind of tone of your words?” He reached out and pulled me into his arms. His voice became deep. “This Island was built for you.”“Built for me?”
Ailina’s POV:I looked at Ricky’s jealous expression and could not help bending my lips, “They are fresher than you.”He said, “You rotten thing who loves the new and loathes the old.” He bit my gently.He lifted my clothes and with his finger.“I am still on my period.” I held his hand.“What?” He was stunned for a while and suddenly understood what I meant. He hugged me and said, “What day?”“The last day.” I lowered my eyes and blushed,“Alright, then, I will restrain myself.” He kissed me on the lips, bent down and picked me up from the ground. “The ground is cold. Go to the bed and rest.”He placed me on the bed and lay beside me. He asked, “Are you tired?”“Not bad.”“Are you hungry?”“No.”“Then lie down for a while. It’s time to eat later. After eating, I will take you to play something exciting.” He pitched my little nose, stretched out his arm and pulled me into his embrace.He said, in a low voice, “Ailina, in the future, no matter what happens, please believe me. We must n
Rican’s POV:The next day, I returned to Alfonzo to discuss marriage with my family.The entire family was pleased.Mom laughed and said, “Rican, you have to marry my idol. I can see Ailina every day in the future.”Grandpa is also very happy, “Alright, my granddaughter-in-law can make tea for me every day. Don’t say that the tea Ailina makes is better than any of you.”Although dad didn’t say anything, he was also happy for me.I said, “Mom, please buy us something for the wedding as soon as possible.”She laughed, “Since you two met both partners' parents, I began to buy things, so don’t worry, I won't treat Ailina unfairly.”I nodded. Of course, before the wedding, I would propose.The last time Ailina asked for a proposal. I had been preparing for a long time. I should propose to her these days.And this time, I wanted everyone to know that Ailina was my fiancée.The last engagement seems to have been little too hasty. Ailina and I had already been engaged, but few people know tha
Ailina’s POV:As soon as the door opened, Ricky hugged me and deeply sniffed me. Then, he coughed violently.I coughed and said, “What did you smell?”He said, honestly, “Hot pot.”I was embarrassed. “I went to have hot pot with Adriana in the afternoon. I have not bathed and changed my clothes yet. Who knows? You are like a puppy, sniffing desperately when you see me.”“I am like a puppy. Not only do I want to smell you, but I also want to bite it.” He said, as he bent over and carried me in his arms.As Ricky spoke, he bit my lips tightly. I covered my lips and pouted, “Really? It hurts.”“Then, bite me back!”I felt as if all strength in my body had been drained. I hung in Rican, blinking my eyes as I looked at him. I said, “Are you waiting for me to let you in?”He nodded.“Tricky.” I bit his ear.He whispered, “I wait for you, every day.”I was slightly stunned. ‘What? He had been on my door every night lately?’‘How was this possible?’He carried me into his house. We went upsta
Ailina’s POV:After I blocked the reporters outside the door, I didn’t dress up. I just sat in the living room looking at my phone. I know that Adriana certainly called me again after she left.Sure enough, after waiting for about two hours, she called me.“I am at the hotel. Don’t worry about me. I have booked a flight for tomorrow. Remember to come and send me off early tomorrow morning.” She requested at the end of the phone.“What time? Which flight?” I asked, “Which hotel are you at now?”Suddenly, call ended.I panicked. ‘What the hell? What had happened again?’While I was still thinking, I received a video call from Adriana.I answered and saw that Adriana was lying on the bed in her pajamas with her hair, slightly wet. She said with a smile, “Look, how is the hotel I live in?”She took her phone and walked around the hotel. I complaine
