"Of course. There's even a saying that says 'It takes a decade to stay in a ship together, and a century to..." She stopped her babbling just right before she said the words "to share a bed together" when she saw the look of gloom and disdain in Leila's eyes. The last second, she twisted her tongue and said, "To share a house," instead. She wanted to talk about the fate of their friendship, but the topic was clogged in her throat.

It would have been dangerous to talk of such things, and would probably start a fierce cat fight between her and Leila.

Daniel had a blank expression throughout the event, but when he heard this, a subtle smile appeared on his face. The thought of him still being the only man who had been in the same bed as her, relieved a lot of the sadness he had been feeling the whole week.

When he realized he was slipping and acting strange, he quickly restrained his mouth and acted somewhat annoyed. There was a certain perplexity in that situation that aroused his emoti

    There was a giant three-layer cake on the table. The bright candle light swayed in the wind, like the stars shining in the night sky."Happy birthday," a gentle voice said from behind.Today was her birthday? Shocked, Sonia looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. It was June 12th.'Oh my God! It really was my birthday,' thought she. She even forgot it herself, and she didn't expect that he would remember it!"Ice guy, how did you know that today is my birthday?" She turned around and looked at him. His cold face was tinted with the same color as the candle light, making it look very warm. The smile on his face was as charming as sunshine. It made ripples in her heart."It is written on our marriage certificate," he said. Then he held her by the shoulder and took her to the table. "Make a wish!"She nodded, put her hands together, and closed her eyes.What was her wish?Over the past five years, she had made the same wish on every one of her birthdays: she wished for James to like

    In the camp area, the leader suddenly received a phone call from her boyfriend, who was working for the Weather Bureau. Apparently, the No. 5 wind ball had suddenly turned and condensed into a super typhoon, and it was coming towards them. She told others that they had to go back to the coast immediately, inevitably scaring the girls. They packed up their stuff and jumped on the boat. They were in such a hurry that the leader actually forgot to do a headcount.Only Mandy knew that there was one person who hadn't come back to the campsite.She didn't expect that God would help her teach this insidious green tea bitch a lesson. Well, she deserved to be stuck here and feel the violent storm all alone.Mandy sneered and followed everyone to the boat.Meanwhile, on a dark hillside, Sonia woke up.At once, she felt pain on her forehead and knees.She had no idea what had happened to her. All she knew was that she had been standing on top of the hill when someone pushed her from behind. She

    On the way back, Sonia’s excitement faded. She felt like she was breaking out in a cold sweat.Mandy told her that she had both good and bad news, but in Sonia’s mind, she didn’t hear any good news at all.‘Oh my gosh. No, no, no. I’m so doomed!’ Sonia realized she was holding her breath and found herself holding her face in frustration.She continued to have a monologue in her thoughts. ‘Why did James have to be one of the judges in this show? Why would I have to see him this way?And why does Fabian even have to be in the same competition as me?Her family is already so wealthy. She doesn’t need this, so why did she have to join? Ugh, it’s not going to be a competition anymore. It’s decided, right? I guess this will be like a walk in the park for her.James will obviously favor Fabian and give her the best scores while I’ll try so hard and it might not even matter!’ Sonia let out a heavy sigh. She felt exasperated at the thought that she couldn’t stop patting her face.Leaning back

    Daniel has always refused to talk about private matters. What was more, he also hated it when others made trouble out of nothing. She didn't want him to be annoyed, and she always knew exactly how she should act in front of him.But how could Sonia do whatever she wanted in front of him without hesitation?Knowing him, he should have hated this kind of woman the most, but how come there was no disgust in his face whenever he looked at her? How could he indulge her, even?"Dan, have you come up with a way to deal with Valery?" Leila asked as if she had thought of something. He had Sonia here and Valery in Dragon City. One was as cunning as a fox and the other was as vicious as a tiger. Leila couldn't feel at ease wherever he was."Not until her men have finished traveling the world," Daniel said with a sneer."I'll go back to Dragon City with you. Tell them that we're going to get married. After all, we used to be..." Daniel instantly interrupted her by saying, "Don't worry. I have fou

    Leaving the villa, Fabian went straight to Bella, hoping to find James. She had a lot of questions to ask him.James had already anticipated her arrival. Sitting on the main chair, he looked indifferent and there was a slight sneer on the corners of his mouth."How dare you give me the score eight whereas Sonia gets to have ten? After all, I am your fiancée! I deserve more than her!" She was writhing with both hatred and jealousy.Her words left him unmoved. Slowly, he took a sip of his tea and said, "I was considerate enough to have given you eight. If you hadn't been my fiancée, you would have received the score zero from me.""What... What do you mean?" Fabian stammered, unable to believe her ears. 'Did he actually said those words?' she wondered with fear."Don't think you can fool me. I know all about the dirty tricks you have used to win. And the worst part is, you didn't follow the original design. An average tailor would have done a better task than you. It is beyond me why yo

    Enemies are bound to meet in a narrow alley. Fabian alone was a hurdle to deal with. And now, with Leila's arrival, things were bound to be harder. Sonia was consumed by fear.If Leila became an unfair judge, it could spoil Sonia's life.As expected, the points that Leila gave were very low, and she also pointed out a lot shortcomings. Relentlessly, she accused Sonia of not following the theme. She also said her work lacked creativity and essence.'What the hell!' Sonia shouted in her mind. According to her, Leila was a petty person who had used personal issues in the professional sphere. It was quite a low blow. On top of that, Daniel could be watching the show right now. 'Aren't you afraid that he will see the ugliness inside you?' she wondered.The two judges who had been bought off by Fabian's family also took the chance to add insult to injury. As ordered by Fabian, one gave her score five and the other gave her six.Even the host was shocked by the result.Even though Sonia and

    "I..." James wanted to say something but stopped after giving it a second thought. At first, he was forced by his mom to give up, and he was afraid that he was too young to give her a future. After that, he went into Bella. He couldn't do anything due to the strife between him and his family. And now, the only thing he could do was put aside his love for her. All of these turned into a kind of silent sorrow that choked his throat."I'll love you more and make up for everything that happened for the past five years," he continued.Sonia put on a smile that was full of sorrow, bitterness, and despair. He did love her, but he did not care about her at all. She had waited him for five years, and had actively confessed her love to him. However, he didn't welcome her in his arms, making her look like a big fool. After getting drunk, she married someone else and lost the most precious innocence that she had been saving for him."Did you ever think of me when you were about to marry Fabian? I

    Sonia smiled and touched his handsome face. "Although you seldom smile, I know what things make you smile.""Really?" He raised his thick eyebrows. "Tell me.""When you tease someone, you smile. When you play a trick on someone, you smile. When you make a fool of someone, you smile an evil smile. When you are unhappy, you sneer coldly with your mouth closed, and..." She trailed off and her eyelids flickered. When he looked at her like this, he smiled. His smile was real and very gentle.She liked to see his smile because she had never seen him smile to others that way, not even to Leila. It seemed like this smile was really exclusive to her. As a matter of fact, there was another reason why she didn't regret giving up Instituto Marangoni—if she hadn't given it up, she never would have met him."You're so into me, aren't you?" He said in a low and joking voice. Sonia blushed, but it was masked by the dim light."Don't flatter yourself." She turned over and buried her face into the pill

    "I will do what I should do. Don't push me to do anything else," She said coldly and looked out of the window.*********Sonia was in a daze for a second. "She is a member of Leila's Family?""Yes," Daisy said slowly, "The senior schoolmate of Ivy is named Christina. She is the sister of Leila.""No wonder." Sonia raised her eyebrows and her eyes glimmered with a hint of indescribable deep color. It seemed that Fabian had a strong opponent, either Ivy or Christina, both in terms of wealth and family background, they were far better than Fabian. And they were not nobody like Sonia who could be casually framed and bullied by Fabian. The three women were just like a drama. If they really fought with each other overtly and covertly, it was unsure whether James could deal with it.Ivy was a good girl. Although sometimes she would be a little capricious, her essence was simple, innocent and kind, and she was totally different from Fabian. It would be a pleasant thing if James could be with

    "Sonia loves you very much. She just puts all her heart on you. As her good friend, I won't see her sad. You can rest assured that I will find a way to help you. " Valery said to James."Thank you, Miss Valery." Said James in a low voice."Let's leave our contact information to each other so that we can contact each other conveniently." Then she took out her phone.James nodded and exchanged his phone number with her.A sinister smile appeared on Valery's face. When she saw Ivy coming, she stood up and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll help you arrange a meeting for you and her." After saying that, she walked to the direction of Ivy. Now that she had achieved her goal, she would "help" them to make a good match in the future, so that they would get married."I'm a little tired, Ivy. I'd better go back first. Happy birthday to you.""Okay. Be careful on the way." Ivy nodded her head and showed the grilled steak to James."James, let's have it. It's specially roasted for you.""Thank you." H

    Sonia was shocked. In her imagination, he should be pissed off and cursed her. 'Why is the picture so gentle and weird? Is icy guy mad to say something ironic?' she thought."Okay. How about I spend five million dollar for you tomorrow?" She tried to sound him out to see if he would change his face at once. However, he still smiled at her with connivance and love in his eyes. "The card belongs to you and you can spend as you like. You don't need to report to me.""If I spend five million dollars a day, will you go bankrupt?" She pouted."You silly girl. I will always make far more money than you spend. How can I go bankrupt?" He shook his head with a smile, feeling her words were childish.And she began to feel that what she did today was very childish. Her fighting spirit had already disappeared without a trace. She had spent a whole day trying to piss him off. Unexpectedly, he didn't even frown. She wanted to hide in the corner to draw circles to curse him.It was one point eight mi

    With a faint smile on her lips, Sonia said, "Do you really think you can fight against the Emperor by marring the daughter of Jack's Family? As far as I know, Mr. Jack is very crafty and cunning. If his Group's stock suddenly plummeted, and he has done those shady business in private and was caught on the hand of others. Do you think he's still willing to get in this to help you? I'm afraid that he would even go against you in his favor."Jobson twisted his lips and said, "Don't talk nonsense here. You're a female. What do you know about business?"Again, Sonia shrugged. She was really talking nonsense here. However, in a business world, everyone had his / her own calculation and no one could be innocent. Last year, there was something wrong with the buildings developed by the Jack's Group. The news had just been disclosed, but it was quickly suppressed. After that, there was no follow-up report. It was obvious that the group was behind the closed door.From Jobson's expression, she k

    "Do you mean the Emperor group of the Dragon City?" Sonia asked Fabian as she found it hard to process what she has just heard."Yes. You bumpkin have made a trip to the Dragon City. You have seen something, haven't you?" Fabian laughed scornfully.With her fingers clenched, Sonia was so furious that a fire was burning in her chest.It was Daniel who did it!He must be avenging on James, on her!The devil was born with a bloodthirsty nature of plundering!After getting out of the TV station, James drove his car and she quickly got on it. She didn't notice that there was a pair of deep and gloomy eyes not far away, which had been staring at her through sunglasses.When James's Maserati disappeared from his sight, a bloodthirsty ferocious look flashed across Daniel's perfect thin lips.Sitting in the car, Sonia was upset.James touched her head and asked, "Where do you want to go to celebrate?"

    Leila felt a wave of disappointment in her heart but she didn't show it. She still wore a beautiful smile and asked, "Can I ask you something?""What is it?" Daniel said, raising his eyebrows."You are not serious about your relationship with Sonia, are you?" She asked in a low voice carefully.Taking a sip of the champagne, Daniel fell silent for a while and said coldly, "She is nothing more than a woman." It sounded like he was talking about someone unimportant.Leila smiled and felt relieved.She knew it. He couldn't fall in love with Sonia. Even if he had sex with her, it was just a physiological need."Come on, Dan. Let's dance. I haven't danced with you for a long time." She lightly turned, like a butterfly flying.Daniel nodded slightly, took her hand and walked into the dance floor.A piece of wonderful music rang. It was a waltz.He gently embraced her. Leila felt so satisfied. She enjoyed his company. Her beautiful dress spread like rose blossom petals.However Daniel was th

    Yes? Isn't it a great honor for her?"What's wrong with Mandy? She's so beautiful, and she's the anchorwoman of the TV. Many rich men are chasing her." She pouted.Daniel flicked her forehead and said, "a woman is cuter when she is silly and confused."She glanced at him.Was he talking about her? Although she was a little brainless, she often fell over when she was walking, peeled fruit, made coffee and scalded her legs, and often forgot her wallet when she went out... However, she had many advantages, especially that she could eat, sleep and feed well.When she was thinking, a pair of big hands came in from her nightgown.Upon feeling this, she took out the wolf proof weapon she had prepared in advance from the drawer of the bedside table."Ice house! You can only warm up the bed when you win."The man's eyes swept across the cold light, and this was the permanent scar in his heart!With a wave of his hand, he snatched the cup, tossed it, and the ugly thing flew out of the window.

    Valery was discussing a plot with Leila..."Are you coming to see me because you want me to help you deal with Sonia?" Leila pretended to be calm and asked casually."It's also for you to help me." "I don't care about the title. Anyway, I have a child to protect. I will let you be the lady of the house and keep me in the house." Her eyes twinkled as she spoke. She was trying to play a trick on her by working with her. She doesn't care about her fighting for the position with her at all. She can't marry Daniel just because of their families' issue.Leila replied with a slight smile.She had been against her for more than ten years. How could she not see through her little tricks?She wouldn't be that stupid to get her hands dirty. Her victory wouldn't do her any good. The best result was to get both of them in the fight."Sorry to disappoint you. I won't do anything that makes him unhappy.""It doesn't matter. By then, Daniel and his heart would be occupied by Sonia. Just wait and see.
