Benjamin felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife when hearing his daughter's mournful cries.He quickly reassured her. "Don't worry, Evelyn. I will think of a way. You need to take care of yourself!"It was a rare chance for the father and daughter to talk to each other. As Evelyn was about to say something else, a hoarse voice rang from behind, cursing. "You're slacking off! Go and do your work now! Do you think that you are a noble lady? No one will pamper you here!"Evelyn quickly said goodbye to her father softly. "Dad, I have to work now. I can't talk to you anymore. Come get me as soon as possible!"The call was ended hastily, leaving only a beeping sound before Benjamin could give more advice to his daughter.Belinda was stunned for a while and fell to the ground in tears."My girl, my poor daughter, Evelyn… This is not the life for a human. Sigh… my poor girl…"Benjamin was disturbed by her cry and chided, "Stop crying! Crying is useless!"A housewife only cri
Benjamin and Belinda froze.They knew it would not be so easy!Melody was apparently planning to humiliate Evelyn!Belinda shouted angrily, "No! Evelyn is your cousin. Aren't you turning her into a servant if you have her work for you?"Evelyn shouted over the phone, "No way! I don't want to suffer after I go home!"Benjamin's face was also stiff, and he started scolding Melody, "We are your elders. Is this how you behave when we are discussing matters with you? Evelyn is your relative, after all. Is this how you treat family? Aren't you worried about people saying that you are cruel once they find out?""Relatives? Is what she did something a relative would do? It was her who crossed the line first, she cannot blame me for punishing her. I'm older anyway."Melody gave them a stern look. "Go ahead and tell everyone about me whatever you like. I might as well tell them about her deeds and let them judge. Do you really think that I don't know how the necklace in my jewelry box g
It was the entertainment section's headline. The picture on her screen showed a tall man holding a woman in his arms. The woman looked very fragile in a dripping white dress.Weren't they Christopher and Talia?Melody could not hide the coldness in her eyes. Seeing her reaction, Levian got anxious and quickly came over to read the news."What is it? I… Shit, what is this unsightly thing? Is there nothing else to report on? The entertainment section is so short of news to report!"After the mess during the wedding, he thought that Christopher would not be able to stand being cheated on. Even if Christopher was blind, he should have learned of Talia's true nature!Levian thought that Talia would be in the worst situation she could be in, having no place to vent her desperation. But now they were caught on camera acting so intimately with each other. Who could have expected that?Although he did not know what happened to them before the photo was taken, he was sure that Christophe
Melody was speechless.Who did Levian mingle with all this time?Melody knew that he meant well, but it was still too much for her. She did not want to indulge herself in wildness just to escape her emotions."Levian, I appreciate your good intentions. But I don't want to do this, it's better to have no one than to simply get someone.""What? You really don't like any of them?"Her serious face told Levian that she was not refusing out of shyness, so he helplessly leaned on the sofa and sighed."You are just too serious and sincere in relationships. Maybe this is the difference between men and women. If I were you, I would surely go to the pub now and stay there for three whole days. Everything would be over after the fun."Melody remembered Levian's dashing appearance at the nightclub. Suddenly, something flashed across her mind, and she recalled something.She remembered that her best friend, Luna Bailey, liked a tall and handsome sports car racer.At that time, she had a fe
The hospital's ICU reeked of strong disinfectant. The chilly light was reflected off the blue walls.Just outside the ward, Christopher sat emotionlessly on the couch. He took a seat with his long legs crossed. Under the spotlight, his features appeared sharp and angular.The door swung open, and a doctor walked in.He gave Christopher a report and told him, "Mr. Bolton, the report shows that Ms. Stewart is fine. Although her blood loss is not life-threatening, she will need to be hospitalized for several days so that she can be closely monitored."Christopher did not take the report. He said, "As long as she's okay, it's fine."His response stunned the doctor. It was unclear to him whether Christopher simply did not care about Talia or was ignoring her. Finally, he went into great detail about diet and lifestyle precautions.Christopher was impatient.Luke made it just in the nick of time and said, "Doctor, you can talk to me."The doctor went over everything again, stressing
Melody and Levian looked at each other. They knew exactly who the butler was talking about.Melody lifted her chin and ordered, "Bring her in."Evelyn walked in as the servants opened the doors.Although it was clear that Evelyn had made an effort to freshen up before arriving, it did little to conceal the traces of her rough journey.She had huge dark circles under her eyes and seemed utterly distraught. She appeared to have run herself ragged.It was obvious that life on the farm had not been easy."Good evening, Melody," Evelyn said after a servant led her inside.Melody presented a chilly demeanor. She neither offered Evelyn a seat nor gave her so much as a glance. She hummed indifferently as a response.To remain silent was the ultimate display of disdain. Evelyn's pride was severely wounded by this reply, especially when Melody stood dazzlingly before her. It was in sharp contrast to Evelyn's plain and unremarkable appearance. The stark contrast caused Evelyn to clench
Panicked, Evelyn quickly protested, "No, I didn't lie! I'm indeed unwell. Your men have been monitoring me doing manual labor in the countryside. Since I've been working nonstop, I can hardly move my arms. I will keep my promise tomorrow! I swear!"The news had already irritated Melody. Levian had cheered her up, but Evelyn had completely ruined it."What kind of nonsense is this?"Melody was irritated. She raised her hand coldly and ordered, "Butler, send security here and throw her back to the countryside."Evelyn's face turned pale. She gave it some thought and realized there was no way out of this predicament.Melody was adamant about having her wash her feet.She stopped the butler abruptly and said, "Wait! Don't leave! I'll get the water now!"The butler glanced over at Melody after hearing this.Evelyn clenched her teeth in desperation and pleaded, "I'll get the water now. Please don't send me away again!"She had lived a pampered lifestyle since young, the idea of goin
After this, Evelyn went home in a state of disarray.She went straight to her dad and started complaining.Benjamin had not seen his daughter in a long time. He was heartbroken when his daughter returned home in damp clothes and looked upset."What happened, Evie?" he inquired.At full volume, Evelyn cried out, "That bitch humiliated me! Dad, she's trying to ruin my life. You have to help me exact my vengeance!"Ben instantly recalled the results of his earlier attempts to deal with Melody. His face's expression hardened."And I will make her pay! Evie, don't cry. Go change your clothes."Benjamin comforted Evelyn by patting her on the shoulder, but he made no promises.His response left Evelyn feeling a little disappointed. She had suffered far too much humiliation. It would take more than words to comfort her right now.Dissatisfied, she stomped her foot and muttered, "Dad, you always say this. When are you going to finally confront that bitch? Despite knowing how badly she
Luna nodded solemnly.Levian smiled, and rubbed her head. "Thanks for considering. I appreciate it."He took out his phone, and typed something.Luna watched curiously, and leaned forward to take a look. She was stunned when she saw that he had posted their photo on Facebook.She said quickly, "Delete it before they see it!"She regretted telling him that.Levian put the phone back into his pocket, and hugged her. "Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry."Luna understood his intentions, and said nothing."I promised you I'll never let you down. That's not the reason for you to be my secret lover. I don't have to please my fans. I'm rich. I'm a professional racer, not a gigolo."Levian words sounded so sincere, Luna was touched. She raised her head to look at him, stood on tiptoes, and kissed his lips.Levian was stunned. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled. "You amaze me, Luna.""Huh?" Luna looked at him confusedly."You’re brave enough to kiss me now."She blush
The sales assistant grabbed the old lady’s hand, and demanded, "You must pay for this dress!"Levian grabbed the sales assistant's wrist, and threw her to the side. The sales assistant staggered a few steps away due to the force."That’s not how you should talk to an elder."Luna stood before the old lady, and looked at the sales assistant coldly.The commotion attracted the crowd. The sales assistant looked panicky."It’s none of your business!" the sales assistant yelled, staring angrily at Luna and Levian.Luna blocked the old lady from the sales assistant's sight.The sales assistant observed them, and said sarcastically, "Tourists, huh? Mind your own business."Levian stared coldly at her. The sales assistant was frightened by Levian’s gaze."It seems your parents didn't teach you good manners. I don't mind teaching you today," he said coldly.The sales assistant shuddered. She had seen all kinds of people in the store, and could feel the pressuring aura of Levian.Her
Luna and Levian saw him, and smiled.After noticing their gaze, McCain's expression returned to normal. He walked toward them casually."Luna, did you sleep well last night?" he asked with a gentle smile.Luna was disgusted by his smile, and responded coldly, "Yeah."Levian grinned playfully, and said, "How about you? You looked tired."McCain’s smile froze. He looked a little panicky, and made an excuse to leave. "It's almost time. Let's find our seats."He left quickly afterward.Luna stared at him coldly. McCain looked weird to her."Why are you staring at him? Charmed?" Levian asked. He seemed jealous.Luna looked at Levian, and smiled, "Yeah, by you."Levian’s smile widened.McCain left the building and called Matt, but Matt didn’t answer. He gripped the phone, tightly and cursed under his breath.-A spotlight shone on a man, who walked to the stage under applause.Luna also clapped."That’s Gerald Bell, the president of Bell Group, the leading Group in Franconia,"
Luna opened the door, and saw Levian leaning against the door frame with a helpless expression."What's wrong?"Levian shrugged. "The door lock of the smaller bedroom is broken. I can't get in."Luna glanced at the smaller bedroom, then looked at Levian suspiciously. "You didn't break it, right?"Levian immediately retorted, "Of course not!"Luna stared at him doubtfully.Levian touched his nose, and said in disappointment, "I'll take the sofa, then."Luna pondered, and whispered, "The master bedroom is enough for both of us."She couldn’t bear to let Levian sleep on the sofa in the living room. Besides, she trusted him.Levian smiled, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead. "Thanks, Luna."Luna blushed, and her heartbeat accelerated. She was curious, how did Levian know that?Levian put his arm on Luna's shoulders, and entered the master bedroom."You go take a shower first," he offered."Okay."Luna walked to the bathroom with her clothes. Not long after, the sound o
Benito looked at Juan, and winked at his subordinates. His subordinates walked toward the Hellers."I want to know who sent them," Benito commanded in a deep voice.The Hellers were terrified, and spilled everything.One of Benito's subordinates walked to Benito. He nodded politely to Levian, and reported in a low voice, "A man named McCain sent them."Levian's expression changed.He knew it!"What should we do with them?" Benito's subordinate asked.Benito looked at Levian, and asked, "Levian, what do you say? I can keep McCain under custody.""Teach them a lesson, and make them cooperate," Levian said with a dangerous grin. "As for McCain, I have a plan for him."He looked at Luna in the car. McCain would never take the risk if he actually had feelings for Luna and cared for her. He wondered if he was McCain's target, or if this had something to do with the business summit."Okay," Benito said. He turned around and commanded his subordinates, "Take care of them and make the
The cemetery was ahead."Levy, they slowed down," Luna said. She frowned, confused.Levian quickly turned the steering wheel, and made an emergency 180-degree turn.Luna quickly grabbed her seat belt and closed her eyes after seeing the bright lights from the car tailing them. She then looked at Levian in confusion, wondering what he was up to.She was terrified when she saw Levian drive toward that car. They were going to collide! Suddenly, she heard a sharp friction sound, and both cars passed by each other.Levian turned the steering wheel again and circled around that car.He smiled and assured Luna, "Don't be afraid, Luna. Everything will be fine. Trust me."Immediately, Luna was calm.The driver of the car tailing them seemed irritated by Levian's provocation; he sped up, and tried to slam into their car.Levian grinned; he sped up as well, and drove away from that car.The driver seemed to realize something; he quickly slowed down, and turned around to drive out of the
Luna carefully poked Levian's arm.He grabbed her hand, and quickly pulled her toward him, "I'm your boyfriend."He gritted his teeth. No one knew how much he wanted to punch McCain when he saw that slimeball approaching Luna.Luna grinned, amused. "He's just a friend. You're my sweetheart."Levian was the best! No one deserved her attention except him.Hearing that, Levian was pleased and smiled. He put his hand against Luna's palm, their fingers intertwined.The driver suddenly braked when passing through an alley, and their bodies leaned forward."What happened?" Luna asked. She looked anxiously at Matt, the local driver she and Levian hired."Something ran through just now," Matt explained while unbuckling his seat belt. "I wonder what that was."He left the car and walked around.Luna heard a meowing, and saw a black cat pass by. She pointed in the direction, and asked, "Was it that cat?"Matt looked in the direction of her finger. "I don't see any cat. Probably a stray
Levian looked handsome and gentle under the spotlight. He took the microphone, and said slowly, "It's my honor to deliver my speech today. This summit brings together business talents from all over the world..."Levian kept his eyes on Luna as he spoke, and she concentrated on his speech.They noticed each other's gaze, and smiled.McCain tried to chat with Luna but noticed her gaze. He bit his lip, jealous. He quickly took his phone, and showed it to Luna, "Hey, Luna, I found the emails."Luna was too focused on Levian's speech, so McCain’s interruption annoyed her. She grabbed it, and read the emails. While Luna was reading the email, McCain looked at Levian and smirked. Levian's expression changed, and he spoke faster.Luna briefly read two emails. They were McCain's remarks about music, and how much he missed her. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn’t find any confession.Still, she was a bit moved by the memories. She returned the phone to McCain, and said, "Than
Levian and Luna turned around, and saw a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes."You look so beautiful today! It took me a while to recognize you."He observed Luna as he spoke.Luna frowned, uncomfortable with his gaze, and asked politely, "Do you know me?"That man was a stranger to her."Oh, don't you remember me?" The man clutched his chest as if he was hurt, and sighed. "I'm McCain. We were in the same music camp for three months, when you were seventeen."Luna thought for a while, and finally remembered him. She nodded, and smiled politely. "Oh, yes. It’s nice to meet you again.""I'm so glad I come. It's good to see you again." McCain smiled happily.Levian stared at McCain with a frightening expression that hinted at anger.Music camp, huh?He could sense McCain's intention.Luna noticed Levian's expression, and said to McCain politely, "The party is about to start. Let's take our seats."She wanted to leave, but McCain blocked her way. "I missed you so much. I l
