Lydia's jewelry design exhibition was held as scheduled.Vince not only bought her the most luxurious exhibition hall in Los Angeles as the venue, but also spent a lot of money to ship an iceberg from Antarctica.An iceberg is a very demanding thing in terms of temperature. If the temperature is too high, it will melt and crack, easily breaking into several pieces.Vince did not want to use a patchwork iceberg; he wanted to decorate Lydia's exhibition hall with a huge, complete iceberg.So, Vince rented a huge ocean-going ship and hauled the iceberg to the California icehouse in one piece. Three days before the exhibition, 10 famous carvers were secretly invited to the icehouse to carve the iceberg.All these things were done secretly by Vince and Lydia was not aware of it. So, when the doors of the exhibition hall opened, Lydia covered her mouth in surprise like everyone else.This huge iceberg stood in the middle of the exhibition hall. The white iceberg was carved into the shape of
Lydia returned home and heard a screaming insult just as she entered the door."I knew you'd bring bad luck to my son, you b.itch!" Vince's mother, Emma, had lost her usual dignified demeanor and was screaming hysterically, picking up a cup from the table and throwing it at Lydia.Lydia dodged in time and the cup was thrown against the wall and broke into pieces with a loud bang.Lydia raised her arm to shield her face, but her arm was cut by the flying shards, and a bloodstain appeared."Do you hate me that much?" Lydia's eyes filled with tears."You've ruined my life, you've ruined my son." Emma rushed forward and grabbed Lydia's neck. She gritted her teeth with such force that she seemed to be choking Lydia to death.Lydia's back was against the wall, and she desperately held Emma's arm in an attempt to get her to let go.The blood on Lydia's arm rubbed off Emma's shirt, but no one cared.Lydia's face turned red from lack of oxygen, and if this continues, she will surely be choked
During the night, Lydia had a few nightmares and she woke up with a start."It's okay." A man hugged her, patted her back and comforted her."Vince, is that you?" Lydia shouted his name happily. She clung to Vince's arm, afraid that he was just a phantom that would soon disappear."It's me." Vince kissed her forehead, "It's okay, I just went to the police station to make some statements. I've encountered a lot of difficult things when I was in business before. It's OK, don't you worry."Thinking about Iris's miscarriage and Bernice's sick face, Lydia felt worried. "Why is this happening? We've never bought jewelry with radiation in it. Why?""Don't think too much, I'll handle this." Vince lulled Lydia to sleep like a child. He hummed a song to her as he sorted through the incident in his head.Obviously, this was a premeditated frame-up.Many people know that Lydia is opening a jewelry exhibition. This is the first debut of her studio's brand, so it is important beyond the money earne
Gwen stepped in front of Lydia. She would not allow the police to take her away.Lydia grew up as a timid girl, and whenever she was afraid, Gwen always stood in front of her and helped her to ward off difficulties.Vince and Ulric also blocked the police.The policeman's face showed embarrassment. He knew that the people in front of him were big shots in Los Angeles, and he didn't dare offend any of them. But this case is now the most high-profile homicide case in Los Angeles. He had to take Lydia according to the rules."I'm just doing my job. Please, I promise I'll make sure Lydia is safe."Vince picked up Lydia's coat, "I'll go with her."The cop said, "That's not in line with the rules."Vince glared at the cop, and the cop had to compromise, "Okay."On the way to the police station, Lydia hadn't spoken. Senning her low mood, Vince touched her cheek, "If you feel tired, rest your head on my shoulder."Lydia's emotions broke down a little, "I'm sorry ......""It's none of your bus
"Vince, what are you looking at?" Lydia tapped him on the shoulder from behind.Vince subconsciously turned down the volume, he didn't want Lydia to see any negative news."What's going on?" Lydia didn't think he was right."Nothing." Vince casually put his phone in his coat pocket."Let me see your phone." Lydia took Vince's phone from his hand.The password for Vince's phone was Lydia's birthday, and she'd known it for a long time, but she'd never sneaked a peek at his phone.After entering the password, Iris's live feed appeared on the phone's screen."Lydia, don't look at it, it's just part of their conspiracy, I'll deal with it." Vince tried to get his phone back."No, Vince, I can't keep hiding behind you. Since she's targeting me, I need to know what her excuse is for attacking me."After crying for a while, Iris in the video goes on to mourn Emma, "She raised me like a mother to me. She always said she wanted me to marry Vince and that she didn't like Lydia. I told her Lydia w
Vince sat in the chair next to the bed and stroked her head affectionately. "You're going to be a mommy.""What?" Lydia didn't respond for a moment to the meaning of the words."You're pregnant." Vince said lovingly.Lydia took a long time to receive this information, then her hand gently covered her belly."Really?" Lydia, who had just woken up and was still weak, wept with emotion, "But I can't feel anything."Lydia desperately wanted to be sure of this news. She grabbed Vince's hand, "Why am I in the hospital? Why does my belly hurt? Is our baby okay?"Vince patiently wiped her tears, "You've been under a lot of stress lately, so you're sick. The baby is okay, but he protested in your belly today. For the baby's safety, you stay in the hospital and don't go out, and don't read any more reports. I'll handle everything and you're in charge of our baby's health and happiness, okay?"Lydia nods her head. She couldn't describe how she felt right now. The pain of being misunderstood and
Lydia felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.This hospital is the Evans family's private hospital and she is in the VIP area on the top floor. Everyone here was very kind to her, speaking to her in a soft voice, treating her kindly and responding to her requests in a quick manner. Gwen came to take care of her almost every day, from morning to night, sometimes even staying overnight in the hospital.Lydia was grateful to everyone, but she had a vague feeling that something was not right. People here were willing to answer all her questions, but when she asked about Vince, everyone became stumped.And everyone is so nice to her, making her feel so much warmth that she feels like she's cut off from the outside world.Gwen won't let her browse the Internet, worried that the information will affect her mood, so she takes away her cell phone. But without her phone, Lydia felt like a primitive. Deprived of the outside world, she became incredibly bored."Hey, it'
After Gwen finished her work, she heard that Megan had gone to the hospital to look for Lydia. She screamed "Oh no" and rushed to the hospital.The nurses and security guards were waiting for her in the elevator on the top floor. When they saw Gwen coming out of the elevator, they followed her at a trot, whispering to her about what had just happened.Gwen, who had been in a hurry, stopped and turned to look at them, "You mean ...... Lydia rebelled against her mother and kicked her out."The guard nodded. "Yes."Gwen, who had been anxious, suddenly relaxed as she smiled and nodded, "She's become mature. ...... Is she in her room now?"The nurse replied, "Yes. After her mom left, I saw she was a little down, so I didn't bother her.""I see, thanks to you guys today. You guys go get some rest. I will stay with her today." Gwen said.Gwen was still wearing her professional suit and high heels. She opened the door to Lydia's room and changed into her slippers in the foyer, "Lydia, I'm her
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
