Disney's exclusive birthday fireworks show quickly became the talk of the celebrity circuit. Married and unmarried ladies discussed the event with mixed emotions as they sipped their afternoon tea."I've heard that Disney's booking fee is about $200,000. It's not that expensive." Olivia, a newly married woman, said with mock disdain.The other women nodded, but glanced at Olivia and laughed quietly under the cover of their teacups.It's true that $200,000 isn't very expensive for their husbands, but the point is that their husbands don't want to spend $200,000 on their birthdays and won't take the time to dream up their princess fantasies.Olivia doesn't even have a honeymoon. Her husband kept her in a villa after they got married and only gave her $30,000 a month to live on. Olivia has to socialize, buy luxury goods and maintain the life of a rich wife. The money is indeed a bit stretched.In fact, many so-called rich wives struggle to keep a semblance of respectability. However, as
Iris deliberately runs her hand through her beautiful hair to show off her diamond ring.Some of the women around her noticed the ring. The firework-shaped diamond ring was so special that they couldn't resist accosting Iris."This ring is so beautiful. What brand is it?"Iris showed her ladylike decent smile, "This is a new product of Beloved Jewelry Company, and it is also the ring Richard proposed to me. This ring is not on sale yet, and it's the only one in the world. It will be officially on sale next week."The women admired the ring for a while without further question. Although the design was stunning, it was not worth collecting as it's someone else's proposal ring."Lydia, isn't Beloved Jewelry Company your father's company? You should know about this ring. Oh, what a pity, this firework-shaped ring would be perfect for your wedding ring." Someone said to Lydia.Everyone knew about the fireworks show that Vince gave to Lydia.Lydia was speechless. Her parents' jewelry compan
Denve Bar with dimly lit.The room is filled with the scent of alcohol, mixed with burning high-grade spices, and men and women breathing, making it a perfect place to relax and hunt for s.ex.The air conditioner blows a comfortably cool breeze, bringing a trace of cool and blowing the sticky air away so that people will not feel stuffy.In a corner separated by a mesh curtain, a man sat loosely on a sofa.He had a young look, with smooth, hard facial lines and stuning features, with a touch of teenage boyishness.His legs wobbled gently, and he was bored.After a while, a man with a black mask and sunglasses entered the bar. He was very low-key and went straight into the VIP room.This look is unusual in a crowd.Cecil, holding a cigar in his mouth, flicked on his lighter. A small light shines in the dark, lighting up half of his handsome face.He was looking for Richard, but he never thought the scheming man would show up at his bar.This is exactly what the proverb says: there is
Aha! What an uncomfortable sleep!Cecil opened his eyes. He was topless, in his underwear, and he had spent a terrible night in this little room.Although he took off his vomit-stained clothes and threw them away last night, and took two showers, he still felt a strange smell.Damn it!He reached for his phone, which showed three missed calls from Vince."Hi, What's up, buddy? I texted you all the important news I got yesterday.""I know. I want to talk to you about something else." Vince's voice was serious, "Cecil, I know you're young and like to have fun, but there's a bottom line to everything. You tell me, did you sleep with an underage girl yesterday?""What?" Cecil still couldn't figure out what was going on."Answer me.""I - I slept alone last night, I swear. Oh, I did find an underage girl in my bar yesterday. She was drunk, and I was afraid she'd have an accident, so I gave her my own room. I live in the little room next door.""Really?""Wait a minute. You think I'm a scum
When they get home, Zora locks herself in her room and refuses to come out.Cecil was taken to the study by his grandma, Mary."What are you going to do?" Mary asked seriously as she took a sip of Chinese tea.Cecil was speechless for a moment. Whenever his grandmother had mentioned anything about Zora in the past, he would immediately say no, "I will never marry her," but today he hesitated.It would be cruel to reject and hurt a helpless, innocent girl like Zora.Zora's crying face was still in Cecil's mind. She was like a kitten abandoned in the rain, meowing in a low voice, waiting for an unknown fate.Cecil was the one who was chosen by God. He passed by Zora with his umbrella, saw her tears, and then wiped them away for her.But Cecil, at this moment, is unaware of this wonderful destiny. He's just trying to get Zora to stop hurting."She said she wanted to go to Norway to find her parents. A girl in sadness always wants to go home. Why don't we send her to Norway?"Mary spilled
Cecil just drove the car down to the school building.There were a lot of students getting ready for class in the building, and they all turned their heads to look at Zora and then whispered.There are plenty of rich people in Los Angeles, but not many handsome young men like Cecil in a limited-edition Ferraris. What surprised everyone was the girl sitting in the car. She's just an ordinary girl, Zora, who just transferred here.Zora put on her hoodie hat, whispered, "Bye," and rushed out of the car with her backpack, as if she was running away from something, and rushed into the school building.Cecil watched Zora's background from the car until it disappeared, then started the engine and left the school.But Zora was in trouble.A transfer student who always wears a hoodie and looks withdrawn, an identity that had left her isolated at school, and now suddenly a handsome, wealthy man was taking her to school, it's enough to piss a lot of people off.As she walked briskly down the ais
Cecil carefully rubbed a little of the salve on her with his fingertips, "Does it hurt?"Zora nodded honestly and acted as if she didn't care.The salve was cool, and Cecil's pressure was just right, making Zora feel comfortable, and as soon as she felt good, she was sleepy again."How did you get hurt?" Cecil's voice had a hint of anger in it.Zora yawned again and said briefly, "A fight.""A fight with whom?""Laura? I can't remember their names."Zora's voice was drifting away as if she would fall asleep at any moment.Cecil asked, "Did they bully you?"Zora didn't want to talk about it anymore. She snorts a bit.The voice sounded like a pout, or - a wheeze - to Cecil.She breathed a cold breath: "It hurts."Cecil was distracted by the grunt and lost control of his hand for a moment. As soon as he heard her scream, he put his attention back on his hands.Zora was not happy that he was hurting her and retorted in a not-so-nice tone, "They think they are the bosses of women. I am a t
At 6 p.m., Cecil showed up at the school gate on time."Get in the car. I'll take you to a nice place tonight." Cecil was in a good mood.Zora nodded, tacitly making no mention of Laura and the others.On the way, the cool autumn breeze blew in her face, and the ends of Zora's hair were blown up, giving a hint of broken beauty to her charm.Cecil glanced at her and gave her a briefing about tonight's get-together. "Well ...... grandma is away for a few days, and there's no one at home to eat with, so I'm taking you along for a big dinner ...... you don't have to be nervous ...... everyone here tonight is my best friend, hmm, and their fiancee."Friends and fiancées? If the people coming to dinner tonight are COUPLE, then what kind of relationship is she and Cecil?They're not friends, because they've only known each other for 3 days. They're not enemies either, because Cecil even helped her get back at the person who bullied her today.A couple?No no no, Zora didn't want people to th
Ely's eyes widened in disbelief when Daisy told Ely about Pearl's blind date.Daisy put her hands on her hips and shouted, "go and get her back quickly. I want her to be my sister-in-law. She can't marry anyone else."Ely had no idea why Pearl would go on a blind date.Last week, they were sleeping together.Pearl had refused to see him for some reason this week, but he thought she just needed time to come to terms with the change. He thought he had Pearl, but Pearl was seeing other men.He couldn't accept it. He had to ask for an answer.He grabbed the car keys off the table and ran out.Daisy put her hand to her mouth in the shape of a trumpet and shouted at his back, "Come On!"……Pearl was sitting in a quiet corner of the cafe, listening to the introduction of the young man sitting across from her.This man is an ideal husband. His father is a senior manager at a consulting firm in Seattle, and his mother is a doctor. He is a warm, handsome, gentle Stanford graduate who is now the
"Please go back. My sister doesn't want to see you." Eva's tone was a bit harsh, and she stood at the door, blocking Ely's entry."Eva, please let me in. I have something to say to Pearl," Ely implored Eva. He's obviously not sleeping well, and he's got a little stubble on his chin.Eva, always soft and gentle, looked at Ely, who had taken care of her since childhood, and said angrily, "Don't come looking for my sister! I've never seen her so sad. She's been locked in her room for three days!"Hearing the news, Ely became even more worried. "I was wrong. I want to apologize to her."Ely steps forward, trying to get into the house, but Eva refuses to step aside. "I would never let you in today."Eva turned and ran into the house, locking the door behind her.Ely stood there, looking up at the window in Pearl's room.Her room was dark.What's she doing? Is she crying?Ely tries to break in again, but Ulric calls out behind him, "You're not seeing her today. Please go home."Ely turned.
15 years later,"Have you thought about it?" Ely raised his eyes and asked with a gentle smile. "would you like to bet with me?""Why not? We've been betting all my life, and I hardly ever lose." Pearl sneered at him contemptuously. "But I'll up the ante: If I win, you give me your medical project."Ely remained calm. "Pearl, I don't remember you being interested in a medical project.""Nonsense! Just say whether you bet or not!""I'll bet," Ely laughed. " But I'm going to raise the stakes too.""Say it!""How about a night with me?" Ely, the new Evans CEO, changed his gentle smile, leaned over, and whispered in her ear, "If you lose, sleep with me."Pearl wanted to scratch his face with the fork she was holding. But his face attracted many women in the city crazy, she did not dare to hurt him, only glare at him.Ely smiled with pleasure and waited patiently for her answer."OK," Pearl said, gritting her teeth.She's gonna win.……Pearl came back to the company.After dealing with a f
Pearl was so happy after Gwen gave birth to the twins that she shared the good news with all her friends at school.Every day after school, she would rush out of class, get in her car, put on her seat belt, and say to the driver, "I'm going home to look after my mommy and Carl and Ava."Carl and Eva are the names Pearl gave the newborn babies. She picked them out at the first glance of Ulric's long list of names."Carl, Eva. I like those two names." Pearl doesn't like complicated names."Okay," Ulric touched her head. "You're the big sister now. This is your first successful task: name your little brother and sister."Pearl looked up with pride. She wanted to be a big sister. It would give her a sense of accomplishment.Eva is an introverted, quiet girl. She became Pearl's little tail when she could walk, smiled shyly at Pearl's words, and seldom cried.Pearl was very fond of Eva. She often kissed Eva. "Oh, Eva, you're as cute as a Daddy Doll. I don't want you to grow up. I want you t
After learning that Gwen had fainted, Ulric immediately suspended a meeting with a wealthy Middle Eastern businessman and rushed out of the conference room."Sorry, my wife is in the hospital now."An hour later, Ulric appeared at the door of the hospital room, panting.Gwen has always been a healthy and energetic person, and she rarely fell ill. For as long as Ulric could remember, Gwen only had stomach pains when she ate erratically, but since her stomach had recovered a lot under his care, Ulric couldn't understand why she fainted.Is she sick? And he was such a careless husband that he didn't even notice it."Gwen!" Ulric yelled as he pushed open the door.But there was no one in the room, just Gwen's Hermès bag on the sofa.Ulric's mind was more disturbed, and he wanted to see her now, to make sure she was all right.“There you are.” Gwen's voice rang behind him."Oh, honey, are you okay?" Ulric held her shoulders nervously, his eyes wandering over her body.Gwen looked no differ
Zora is not the only one who is preparing for pregnancy, but also Gwen.Pearl is now 4 years old. She has been a lively and outgoing girl since she was a child and likes to make friends. As long as she plays with her friends, she is willing to share all her toys and likes to kiss her friends.Gwen didn't understand her daughter's behavior. She asked Pearl, "Honey, why did you kiss them?""Because I love them. Daddy loves Mommy, so you kiss every day. I love my friends, and I want to kiss them," said Pearl happily."Well... Pearl, there's a difference between a kiss between me and Your Daddy," said Gwen, holding her forehead."Why?" Pearl looked at her with big, innocent eyes.Gwen was speechless. She didn't know how to explain it to Pearl. Come on, Pearl's just a kid. A kiss between kids is a sign of friendship. She doesn't have to be nervous."You can kiss your friends, but you have to get permission first. If a strange person kisses you, you have to say NO, okay?""Yes, Mommy." Pear
Three years later.Cecil is unhappy these days because he learns from his assistant that there is a man who likes to appear in front of Zora lately.Although Zora and he had gotten married 3 months ago. He had already put a diamond ring on her finger, but he was still nervous whenever a man peeked at Zora.He picked up the information his assistant had gathered about the man and flipped through it carefully.Huh! He remembers this boy called Claude. Four years ago, when Zora first moved to Los Angeles, he asked Zora to watch a game with him. Although he showed up just in time to bring Zora's attention back to him, he still remembered the threat this man brought to him.A sunny, handsome, athletic football quarterback.Both he and Zora have graduated. Zora is now an independent curator, and Claude is a professional football player.Zora had already forgotten about him, but last week his team made a deal with Zora's studio, so the guy named Claude started coming around to Zora under var
Liam sat on the couch, browsing through the report his assistant had sent him before turning off his phone and leaning back on the couch, with his eyes closed.He had to admit that he was getting older. When he was younger, he could lead an army for three days in the desert or rainforest without feeling sleepy, but now his energy was getting worse. After some travel today, he now feels tired.Since the surgery, his body has become weaker. But as special forces general, he would rather die in battle than become an old man who is taken care of.Getting old is a cruel thing for a general.Liam coughed a few times and he pulled out his pocket watch. It was time to take his medicine.He took out a bottle with medicine, read the label the doctor put on it carefully, and then took a few pills.It was in this quiet room that Liam let go of his pride and showed a sense of loneliness and weakness.There was a knock at the door. The sound starts with some urgency, then becomes regular.Liam stra
Ulric's uncle, Liam Rockefeller, came to Los Angeles alone, and he didn't tell Ulric ahead of time.Last year, to defeat Richard, Ulric called him to find help.Even though they hadn't spoken in years, Liam recognized the phone number at first glance. He pressed the answer button, "Hello?""Uncle, this is Ulric," Ulric spoke a little hesitantly, not as decisively as he usually did."I know, is there anything I can do to help?" Liam changed his old authoritarian and angry voice to a gentle one. He knew Ulric must be in a difficult situation, otherwise, he wouldn't have called him, especially since he was so proud."I have a good friend, you know, Vince, who has been in trouble lately," Ulric said.Ulric and Vince grew up together in New York, and Liam knew Vince and liked him a lot."Oh, that guy, what's wrong?" Liam frowned. If there was one thing that Ulric and Vince couldn't solve, it had to be tricky. Oh, God, he hoped the two lads wouldn't suffer.Ulric had told his uncle what hap
