Emily felt that time was practically flying. No sooner had she settled Andrew in and got him into the job than it was time for Nick's birthday party. She quickly changed into her gown and made it out of the house after promising to buy Chris and Diane dessert. By the time she drove to the Field's, the place was already bustling. Regardless of why Nick had given her the invitation, today was a fantastic opportunity for her. Everyone invited was from the upper class, and maybe she could find a solution to the branch's problems. It had been a long time since Emily had shown up at a party among the celebrities, and her appearance immediately attracted attention. She had charming facial features and noble temperament, and she was wearing a simple but not ordinary gown. She was the center of attention wherever she went. Men's gazes followed her, and women were nothing but jealous of her. "She is not dead after all. However, she was pregnant out of wedlock, and no one knew who
Suddenly, people started to whisper, making the hall noisy. "Gosh! It's Derek. He is so handsome." "I heard Nick is good friends with him. No wonder he came." "Are those his twins? They're so cute!" "I'm so jealous of Rose. Derek fancies her. It makes me mad to think they're engaged." Emily raised her head when she heard the discussions around her, only to see Derek walking in with Aaron and Ian. Aaron smiled when he saw Emily. 'Rose didn't show up together with Derek? That's so not her,' Emily thought. Louise was standing next to Emily at first, yet Louise left at some point. Seeing Derek walking in, Jenny nervously adjusted her clothes and hair. She knew Derek. He was the heir of the Scott family and Nick's good friend. If she won Derek's approval, she would be closer to Nick. Plus, she couldn't wait for everyone to know about Nick's relationship with her. When everyone knew that Nick belonged to her, she could have him completely. She also got to drive away wome
Emily turned around to look at the man who talked to her with sharp eyes. The man was startled. He couldn't help but put down his hand. "Who are you?" Emily was a bit angry. She had been disturbed by different men from the beginning of the party, and she was running out of patience. The man in front of her looked not bad, but his eyes seemed obscene and evil, making her feel unpleasantly greasy. She felt like a prey being targeted by a predator. From not afar, someone noticed them. "Isn't that the son of the Carter family? I heard he was in trouble and had been grounded. He's out so soon?" "You're right. It's Austin. He's notorious for being cruel to women. They are practically his toys." "How did you know?" "Don't you use Twitter? There were a lot of leaks, but the Carters made them go away." "Emily doesn't have the Hopkinson family behind her anymore. This will not end up well for her." Derek happened to be nearby, so he heard their discussion. He frowned and loo
"What?" Louise exclaimed in the car. They got into the car after leaving the party, and Emily explained what had happened to Louise. "Wait, baby, do you feel that something is wrong?" Louise frowned. How could there be so many accidents at an ordinary banquet? She did not believe it at all. "So many coincidences happened at the same time. This is not an accident. Someone must be behind it," Emily said as she drove. "Jenny mentioned Rose. Rose was the one who gave Jenny the information." Louise continued. "Austin dared to provoke Derek not because of the Carter family, but because he had someone else behind him," Emily said. "Rose is the mother of Derek's children. No one can persuade Derek other than her." Louise realized. "That's right, it must be her." Emily gripped the steering wheel tightly. "Rose could come up with such a brilliant idea. To incite others to target you. This is vicious. This way, you'll be offending more and more people. In the end, no one will b
Early in the morning, sunlight came into the room, and Emily woke up. She rubbed her head. She drank a lot yesterday and now had a headache. She noticed that Louise was already gone. Emily got up quickly. Where was Louise? She hurriedly ran downstairs. "Emily, you're up." Louise stuffed a sandwich into her mouth. She was enjoying breakfast when she looked up and saw Emily poking her head out of the stairs. "Come and eat. Teresa's cooking is so great." Louise raised her hand and greeted Emily with the food in her hand. "Just go ahead. I'll go see the children." Emily ran her hand through her hair and turned back. She came to the children's room and saw that the kids were sleeping soundly. She didn't know what Diane was dreaming about. Diane opened her mouth and smiled. Emily also smiled. Chris was frowning when he was asleep. Emily helped him smooth his hair. Chris was laughing in his sleep. Emily tried not to make a sound and gently closed the door. Then, she went
Dream Kids put a lot of effort into children's clothing. So, they had many candidates for their advertising, and after screening and research, they signed the contract with Diane. The team was hired by Dream Kids, and the makeup artist would be Emily. They had discussed this in advance in the contract. Emily and the kids had just stepped out of the elevator when they met Andy who came to pick them up. Andy was the assistant that was arranged for Diane by Dream Kids, and Emily had called her in advance. "Emily, Diane, and are you Chris?" Andy learned about the situation in advance, so she immediately recognized them. "Yes, Andy. Where is Diane's dressing room?" Emily asked. "Come with me. Diane's dressing room is over here." Andy led Emily and the kids to the door. Andy had prepared orange juice and snacks for Diane and Chirs since they were still kids. When Emily saw these preparations, she began to know Andy better. "Chris, you have to stay here by yourself later. Y
Jimmy, who had gone out to smoke, was pulled back by Andy. He still had the unfinished butt in his mouth. When he saw Diane, who had tears in her eyes, he immediately got the butt out and put it into his pocket. Andy did not notice that Emily was facing Jimmy. She saw Jimmy's movements, but she did not say anything. "Alright, baby, we've done making the props. Let's continue taking photos, okay?" Emily asked Diane gently. "Okay, Mommy." Diane sounded like she was about to cry, but she looked resolute. She sniffed and held back her tears. Her behavior made the surrounding staff members appreciate her more. After all, children and pets were the hardest to film because there would be a lot of uncertainty. They couldn't control themselves well, so filming related to them would always need more time, and the staff had to work harder. When everyone accepted this plan, they were prepared. Although the shooting process was relatively smooth at the beginning today, when Emily
The shoot went smoothly. The first set of photos was taken. Andy took Diane to change clothes and prepared to take the second set. "Diane, go and change clothes with Andy. I'll go see Chris, okay?" Emily was a little worried about Chris. She wondered how he was doing in the lounge. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Diane. After all, I'm her assistant." Andy took Diane's hand and went to the dressing room. Emily came to the lounge. It was quiet inside. She knocked on the door and pushed it open. Chris was writing something on the table. Emily walked in and found that it was a number puzzle. It seemed that he had enjoyed this game since Aaron taught Chris the rules. "Chris, I'm back. Are you bored?" Emily felt a little guilty. Chris raised his head and looked at Emily. His eyes lit up with joy. He was glad to see Emily. "I'm not bored. Mommy, I enjoy this game and also the quietness." Chris smiled, revealing his white teeth. "You've been learning for so long. Let'
