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
David saw the change in Emma and just smiled. He noticed her peeking at Mark and another woman talking, so he walked over, intending to pull her away. David thought Emma would be sad, but to his complete surprise, she didn't react that way. Instead of showing sadness, Emma displayed a face full of disdain for Mark, which David found very interesting."Emma, you're jealous seeing Mark with someone else, aren't you?"David just wanted to ask Emma to confirm once more. Emma had no time to care about such things; her mind was preoccupied with what Lily and Mark were hiding. What secret were they keeping from others?"You think I would be jealous? If I were, I wouldn't be sneaking around here."Emma denied it, not wanting David to misunderstand her. At least David was better than Mark; she was willing to let David help her."You're eavesdropping on their conversation?"David looked at Emma and then spoke. He hit the nail on the head, stating the truth, which left Emma silent. She simply wa
Emma returned to the party, and Mark quickly approached her. With a worried expression, Mark then gently asked Emma:"Where did you go? I was apprehensive about you."Emma didn't feel happy at all; she just smiled and explained:"It was uncomfortable here, so I went outside for some fresh air."Emma tried not to reveal the truth that she had seen Lily and Mark talking intimately with each other."That's good. You should stay by my side. It's safer that way."Emma felt that being next to Mark was the least safe thing. Earlier, Mark and Emma had been greeting some other high-ranking people. While they were standing, Emma saw David not far away, and she couldn't control her gaze from looking in that direction.David was talking to someone else when he sensed someone watching him. He turned and caught Emma's gaze. Emma quickly averted her eyes, knowing that attending the party with Mark meant she couldn't let anyone see she was paying attention to David."Hello, you're Mark, right? I've h
Early the next morning, Emma got up early to prepare for going to the company, fearing that Sarah might discover she was disguised as Laura. After returning from the party the night before, Emma had driven from the Green villa to her villa."You're up early?" Sarah greeted Emma warmly, not having noticed her return late last night. This morning, Sarah had woken up early to prepare breakfast as a thank-you for Emma letting her stay."Yes, I need to go to the company. Why did you get up so early?""Please sit down and have breakfast. This is the breakfast I prepared for you."Emma couldn’t refuse the food prepared on the table. Seeing that it was still early, she quickly sat down to eat so she could get to work at David’s company on time. Although David didn’t come to the office frequently, the amount of work he assigned to her was substantial, making it almost impossible for Emma to approach him. Her initial reason for going to the company was mainly because of David.“How do you like
Mark looked at Sara for help, but Sara remained silent. She took out the documents and handed them to everyone. "This is the evidence. Mark's company has committed a crime." Sara had secretly logged into Mark's private room in the villa on the mountain to steal the documents. Mark's father could barely stand, unable to believe he was being exposed in such a humiliating way. At this point, Mark had committed many crimes: he had killed someone, intentionally stolen Emma's company's information, and his own company was involved in illegal activities. "You're a scumbag, Mark. I hate you," Emily limped in, covered in wounds. Everyone immediately recognized Emily as she accused Mark of his crimes. Mark had beaten her, and Emily was ready to testify against him. "Surprised, aren't you, Mark? From the beginning, I knew Mark was my brother. We just pretended to set up this plan so you would fall into your own trap." Roy watched everything unfold in silence because his father was in the w
The next day, as Emma arrived at the office, her phone rang with news that left her in shock. She dropped the phone, her hands trembling.“What’s wrong?” David quickly caught her, picking up the phone and listening. His face darkened as he heard the details. Emma’s father had been in an accident. He usually had a driver, but today he had driven himself to the office. His car had crashed into a roadside pole, and he was now hospitalized.Emma steadied herself, her initial panic giving way to determination. Together with David, she rushed to the hospital. Her mother, upon hearing the news, had fainted and was being cared for by others Emma had arranged.“Doctor, how is my father?” she asked anxiously when the doctor finally emerged from the operating room.The doctor shook his head with a heavy sigh.“The injuries are severe. He may remain in a vegetative state.”“What? You’re lying!”Emma clutched her chest, her cries echoing through the hospital corridor. David held her tightly, his o
That afternoon, Roy's father, Steven Williams, held a meeting where he announced Roy's return to the company. Sarah, in her role as the company's brand ambassador, attended the meeting.When she saw Roy, she noticed he seemed different from usual. In the past, he had told her he didn’t care about the company, yet here he was, working at his father’s business.After the meeting ended, Sarah went to Roy’s office. When he saw her, he wasn’t surprised. He simply looked at her, waiting for her to say what was on her mind."Roy, why are you here?" she asked."This is my father’s company," he replied."I know, but that can’t be the reason you’re here now."It seemed Roy had already expected Sarah to come find him. He didn’t want to explain, which made Sarah even more worried. She approached his desk."Roy, you don’t like doing this job. Why are you forcing yourself?""I don’t want to see you by someone else’s side—especially Mark's."His words struck a painful chord in Sarah’s heart. She only
At a quiet café, Roy sat alone in his usual corner. This was the place where he and Sarah had first met. He recalled that day vividly—Sarah, then just a waitress, was being bullied by some unruly customers. Roy had stepped in to help her. At the time, Sarah didn’t know Roy was the owner of the café. Now, she was a rising star, and their relationship had evolved into a friendship. Yet, there seemed to be an invisible distance between them.As Roy sipped his coffee, his gaze wandered to the street outside, where he caught sight of Sarah chatting happily with another man. She had recently told him she was busy with work, which explained why they hadn’t been in touch as often.Feeling a pang of unease, Roy pulled out his phone and called Sarah. She had always turned to him during tough times, and their shared moments of solace had brought them closer.“Sarah, where are you?” he asked. “I’m out,” she replied. “Can we meet?”Before Sarah could respond, she abruptly hung up, distracted by
Kaning was escorted by the bodyguards assigned by David to a villa. As soon as she stepped inside, she saw her mother, grandmother, and even Gun there. When Gun saw her, he immediately rushed over, unable to hide his emotions as he hugged his sister tightly. "Are you okay? I was so worried." "I'm fine. Don’t let Mom and Dad find out."What Kaning had just done was incredibly dangerous, but fortunately, everyone was safe. David and Mary did not pursue the matter and even arranged a temporary safe place for her to stay.What David said was spot on—Mark would use Kaning’s family as hostages to force her compliance.Mark had sent his men to capture Kaning’s family, thinking his plan was flawless. However, his phone suddenly rang. "Speak," he said impatiently as he picked up the call. "I’ve thoroughly checked, sir. Neither at the house nor the hospital was Kaning’s family found." "Are you sure?" "Yes, sir."Hearing this, Mark hung up the phone, unable to suppress his anger. He was ex
In a room full of flowers, Kaning had already put on a seductive nightgown. Earlier, David had taken the initiative to contact her for a meeting. When she heard the doorbell, Kaning threw on a coat."You're here already?"David, looking dashing and exuding the aura of a mature man, stepped into the room filled with the scent of perfume. He glanced around, noting that Kaning had put a lot of thought into this. He carefully sat down in the chair, while Kaning had not placed any cameras. David merely smirked.He knew exactly what was going on. Kaning poured him a glass of red wine."You invited me here to make amends, didn't you?"Kaning gracefully sat close to him, the perfume scent making David wrinkle his nose. He simply smiled and then lifted Kaning's chin."Isn't that what you wanted?""You really understand what women want. I’m sure many have used this method to seduce you."David just gave a faint smile, took a sip of the wine, and looked at Kaning, speaking with a smile."What do
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
