The next day, Emma woke up early as usual. As soon as she came downstairs, she saw her parents having breakfast."Good morning, Mom, Dad. I'm off to work," Emma greeted."Hmm, aren't you going to have breakfast?" her mother asked, noticing Emma's hurried appearance. She didn't want Emma to leave for work without eating breakfast or taking care of herself."I have a lot to do today. I need to leave early," Emma replied quickly.Her mother wanted to say more, but Emma hurriedly left. She almost got caught by her mother for not actually going to her father's company to work."Did you see anything unusual about that girl?" her mother asked her father suspiciously. Her father calmly continued eating breakfast without looking up, trying to cover for Emma. If her mother found out Emma wasn't working at the company, it would be a big issue."No, Emma seems fine," he replied. "Last night, I even saw her sneakily meeting someone."Her mother still had a hint of suspicion in her eyes. Emma had j
Sarah was just a minor actress and couldn't do anything else. In the following scenes, Lily always makes things difficult for Sarah. Sarah endured Lily's behavior, not daring to say anything because she knew her position. Finally, when the filming was done, she breathed a sigh of relief.Sarah stood in front of many people, not daring to resist, and finally, the day came to an end. Although Sarah had very few scenes, she had to wait for Lily to finish filming, and one side of her face was swollen.When the filming ended, Lily's fans were waiting for her outside. After finishing the shoot, Lily looked extremely tired and irritated. She threw her belongings at her assistant, leaving her to sort them out.As she stepped outside and saw her fans waiting, Lily immediately changed her attitude, smiling brightly and waving at them. At this moment, Sarah also stepped out from behind. She had a swollen face and was using her hand to cover it."Are you okay? The filming earlier was tough for yo
Secretary Ren returned to his desk after the meeting, and as soon as he arrived, he noticed a commotion and quickened his pace. A girl was lying on the floor, screaming incessantly. Security guards were holding her tightly by the arms."What happened?"Secretary Ren asked in confusion, having only been gone for a short while, and now everything was a mess. He immediately recognized the girl as one of the women associated with David."Secretary Ren, you must stand up for me. She bullied me."The girl struggled free from the security guards and began to put on an act. Emma watched, feeling disgusted."Laura, what exactly happened here?""She wanted to enter Director David's office. I wouldn't let her in, so she caused trouble. I was just protecting myself."Emma, unafraid, began to explain, not forgetting to look at the girl with a provocative gaze. After the girl had trashed her desk, Emma stood up, restrained her, and called security.Emma was a person who believed in an eye for an ey
Sarah returned home from the film set, only to find many strangers in her house."What are you doing?"She couldn't understand what was happening in her home. Sarah had been filming all night and was very tired. That evening, Sarah had been used by Lily to make the news say good things about Lily, but she was used to it."Stop, can't you hear what I'm saying?"Sarah ran over to stop the people who were moving her things. Finally, a man spoke up."This house has been bought by someone else.""What?"Sarah was so shocked she couldn't stand steady. She had lived in this house for a very long time. This was the only house she and her father had lived in; he never sold it."The previous owner has already sold the house."Sarah looked at the paper and then at the signature; it was her father's signature. She had never heard him talk about selling the house, and since he had passed away, she couldn't ask him anything. This house held all her family memories, and yet he had sold it.Sarah rem
Sarah faced the beautiful and kind-hearted girl, Emma, without any suspicion. Emma knew that she and Sarah had just met so that Sarah would feel very shy and nervous. Thus, she added, "You don't need to worry, I'm here alone. Normally, I go to work and am not often at home."Sarah looked around and could tell that Emma was very wealthy. Emma also exuded a beauty and aura that made others admire her. "I...""Stay here, my name is Emma.""My name is Sarah."As they talked, Emma learned that Sarah was younger than her, so they naturally addressed each other as sisters."I have to go out for a bit. There are clothes in the closet and food on the table. You can use them."Emma stood up and went outside after speaking, leaving Sarah to just watch her go. Sarah couldn't believe her luck; she had been worried about having no place to stay, and now she had a temporary home. Sarah didn't know how to repay Emma's kindness. Emma seemed very wealthy, so repaying her with money wasn't an option.
Memory Restaurant, where Nancy's birthday party is being held, is owned by Nancy's family.In the restaurant lobby, it was 7:00 PM. The guests were gradually getting out of their cars and entering the banquet. Reporters and journalists were already gathered outside the lobby, waiting for the prominent figures to arrive, including Emma.A LaFerrari Aperta car appeared, and Mark stepped out. Previously, the reporters didn't seem interested in Mark, but now Mark is Emma's fiancé, which attracted a lot of attention and photo-taking.Mark got out of the car and didn't rush to go in; he stood there waiting for Emma. A moment later, a Bugatti La Voiture Noire appeared, drawing everyone's gaze. The car stopped at the restaurant lobby, and a pair of long legs in a light blue dress stepped out. Emma slowly got out of the car, and at that moment, photographers were busy taking pictures.Everyone knows she is Miss Emma, who rarely appears in public. However, Emma has just returned to the country,
David doesn't often appear at parties like this. If David shows up at important parties, the media and press will hunt him down, focusing on him because he is so famous. Information about David is very scarce, and not all news about him is released to the public, except for the news that he frequently goes in and out of hotels with various women. These women come from many professions such as actresses, singers, and even flight attendants."Young Master David, Young Master James, welcome to the party. I am very honored to have you here."Nancy's father hurriedly came to greet them. Nancy's birthday party became even more lively thanks to David's presence. When the girls around saw David's arrival, they all immediately paid attention to their appearance and adjusted their clothes to attract David's attention.Only Emma stood in a dark corner, holding a glass of wine and taking a sip. She didn't care about David. Emma wanted to avoid the stares and the crowd of reporters around, so she
Mark and Lily heard a sound coming from behind them, both falling silent and uneasy. Their relationship was a secret; they dared not let outsiders discover it, especially since many reporters were at this party, making them even more fearful. During their argument, they heard a strange noise, and both instinctively turned their gaze in the same direction."Did you hear something?""Yes.""So, what do we do now?" Lily couldn't suppress the anxiety in her heart. In contrast, Mark remained very calm, his face incredibly cold."Let's go check it out."As a famous actress, Lily knew that appearing here with Mark would raise suspicions. Her palms were sweaty, and she didn't dare to breathe heavily. Mark was also a bit tense, and together they walked toward the source of the sound.Mark and Lily reached the spot and saw only a broken vase lying on the ground, with no one in sight. They worriedly looked around but found nothing unusual."Do you think someone was eavesdropping on us?" Lily anx
In a coffee shop, Nancy had arrived early. She had already ordered her favorite drink. She sat and looked at the clock, waiting for that person to show up.“Nancy, have you been waiting long?” Dylan hurriedly entered the café and sat down. He asked Nancy how she was, but instead of a warm response, he was met with a cold, indifferent attitude. “Not long.”Dylan had been trying to reach Nancy for several days without success. Today, when she contacted him first, he was very happy.“About what happened the other day, let me explain.” Nancy’s heart had already hardened. Her mood had been heavy these past days. She had made up her mind and was now looking at Dylan, but at that moment, all she could think about was the poor girl. She hoped that the girl’s words were true, and that Dylan was indeed a good man, only changed by circumstances.“No need. Do you know why I asked you to meet me here?” Dylan still didn’t understand, shaking his head. Nancy then gave a sarcastic smile. He had d
Since the day Nancy overheard Dylan telling lies, she hadn’t given him a chance to see her again. She even blocked his number and avoided him at the hospital whenever possible.Nancy didn’t know when she had gotten used to living without Dylan’s help, but she was managing just fine. Although they hadn’t officially broken up yet, she believed it was better to remain calm and let things resolve gradually.One day, after her hospital shift, a young woman with a slightly protruding belly entered her office.“Excuse me, is this Dr. Nancy’s office?”“Yes, it is. Did you come to the wrong place? I’m not an obstetrician,” Nancy replied politely.The woman looked hesitant, and Nancy immediately sensed that she wasn’t there for a medical consultation but rather to discuss something important.“Could you please step outside to talk with me?” the woman asked nervously.“Alright,” Nancy said after a moment’s thought, agreeing out of curiosity to hear what the woman had to say.“What is it? Go ahea
Emma initially paid little attention, but the name on the business card caught her eye. Earlier, she had felt the woman looked familiar, but now she was certain—it was Kaning, someone she had met before.However, something puzzled her. In such a short time, how had an ordinary girl like Kaning transformed and ended up here, looking so different from what Emma remembered?“This might work in your favor,” David remarked, handing Emma Kaning’s business card.“What do you mean?” Emma asked, her curiosity piqued.“You’ll find out soon enough,” David replied cryptically, his calm demeanor masking deeper knowledge.Emma couldn’t fully grasp what David was hinting at, but it was clear he knew something about Kaning. That realization made her even more aware of David’s meticulous nature. It became evident that David had sensed Kaning’s intentions from the moment she approached him. The exchange of contact information was something he had anticipated.Emma also began to suspect that Kaning’s ap
Sarah was at home when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She thought for a moment but couldn’t guess who might be coming to see her.“Mark?”Sarah was surprised to see Mark standing in front of her. Ever since Mark married Lily, his visits had become less frequent. Mark walked into Sarah's house with a displeased expression. In the past, he often came to see Sarah, but recently, she had been busy with work.Mark and Lily had already held their wedding, so he rarely visited Sarah anymore. Before, even after announcing his engagement, Mark would still come to see her frequently.“Something's bothering you, isn’t it?”Looking at his irritated demeanor and sudden visit, Sarah could already piece things together. She knew that Mark had married Lily because she was pregnant. However, after the wedding, Sarah hadn’t seen Lily at all. She simply assumed that Lily was resting and taking care of her pregnancy.“That’s right.”Sarah didn’t know what had made Mark so upset and angry. She po
The news of David and Emma’s engagement sent shockwaves through the public, sparking a whirlwind of discussions. Everyone regarded the couple with admiration. Meanwhile, Mark read the headlines with a deep frown etched on his face.Mark, who had always wanted to marry Emma, now found himself watching as events unfolded in a way he couldn’t control. Taking out his phone, he called someone. The moment the call connected, he spoke curtly:"Take action."Without waiting for a response, he hung up. His sharp gaze hinted at a brewing plan, one that promised to be significant.At Emma’s family company, her older brother Mark had recently been entrusted with her former position by their father upon his return. Emma, in contrast, was now working at David’s company. With both companies being major players in the industry, the impending marriage between Emma and David was expected to strengthen their business alliance further.Today, Emma walked confidently into David’s company, dressed in an el
Today, Helen returned to school. Previously, she had a fight with her father and decided not to go home. In the end, her older brother David stepped in to mediate, and everything was resolved. Helen eventually returned home, but in the days leading up to this, many people had intentionally picked fights with her.At first, Helen ignored them, but their actions became so outrageous that conflicts arose. When Helen was attacked, Gun stepped in to shield her and ended up getting injured himself."Have you heard the news? That company just went bankrupt." "Yeah, wasn’t it the son of the owner who caused trouble for Helen?"As Helen stepped onto campus, she instantly became the center of everyone’s attention. She had no idea what was going on until a girl ran up to her."Sister Helen…"The girl ran up, panting heavily. Helen frowned as the girl took a deep breath before speaking."The person who caused trouble for us the other day has voluntarily dropped out of school, and his family has
Emma returned to the villa and received a phone call. She hesitated, not wanting to answer, but eventually picked up."Emma, let’s meet."Emma let out a scornful laugh and sat down on her bed."Mark, you’re married now. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Why would you want to meet me?""I have something to tell you."No one despised Mark more than Emma did, though Mark still didn’t understand why. He only cared about taking over Emma’s company, oblivious to the fact that David had been relentlessly pressuring his own business. Currently, David’s company was constantly outmaneuvering Mark’s, with David effortlessly winning the most recent contract without breaking a sweat. This left Mark seething with resentment."I don’t want to see you," Emma said firmly."Just five minutes. I really need to talk to you.""I’m afraid Lily or the paparazzi might catch us together. I don’t want Lily to come after me and cause trouble."Since Mark’s outrageous behavior toward Emma—especially
The next morning, Emma woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. She panicked upon realizing she had fallen asleep next to David again. Hastily, she checked her clothes and breathed a sigh of relief before carefully observing David. He was still sound asleep.The night before, after successfully securing the contract, Emma and David drank together but had no idea when they became intoxicated. Luckily, nothing had happened between them, but Emma couldn’t shake her anxiety. She recalled a memory from the night before when David had taken off her glasses.“Laura, you look very familiar. Have we met somewhere before?” “No, we haven’t.”Even though Emma had been drinking, she still managed to snatch her glasses back, fearing that David might discover her false identity as Laura. Seeing him still asleep now, she finally felt at ease. It seemed that he was so drunk he would likely forget everything from last night.Emma quickly grabbed her handbag and left the hotel without any intention of
In moments like these, James truly felt like a soothing balm for the heart of someone as lonely as Nancy. Feeling her pain, James held Nancy tighter, wanting to let her cry as much as she needed. The days ahead would be better; Nancy would return to her normal, cheerful, and happy self. That was exactly what he wished for.Emma had successfully pulled David out of the nightclub. David felt utterly helpless against this stubborn girl. Together, they went to a clothing shop to change outfits.They straightened up their appearance and improved everything to meet the client. At this point, they were already an hour late for the appointment. "Are you sure they haven’t left yet?" "Of course." Emma replied confidently. If she was sure about something, it was always within her control. Fearing her identity might be exposed, Emma only changed her clothes, leaving her hairstyle and makeup intact.When they arrived, David was genuinely surprised to see everyone in high spirits. Emma, too, fel
