Storm smiled broadly and replied, “I am in the entertainment industry, Uncle. When I was young, modeling agencies and film directors approached my mother offering her contracts and requesting me to enter the entertainment industry.My mother would decline every time. She indicated to them that she wanted me to be a child. Also, we didn’t lack money.When I was ten years old, she told me that she didn’t want the Ferguson family to find out about me because they might take me away from her.When I was fourteen years old, I decided to enter the entertainment industry by establishing the Harvest Group.”The Harvest Group had overwhelming power and strength. None of the other entertainment companies in the USA could compare to the Harvest Group.Amanda was grinning from ear to ear. She was very impressed. It was her dream to grace the international stage. She felt that her dream might come true.She smiled brightly and asked, “Mr Saxon, is Director Samuels from the Harvest Group? I like hi
Aunt Judy and Penny were drinking tea at the Saxon estate in Malibu. The estate was a breathtaking paradise. It was overlooking the majestic Pacific Ocean. It took Storm five years to build this masterpiece.The Saxon estate was the epitome of prestige and architectural excellence. It was huge and had ten spacious bedrooms, two study areas, two living rooms, two dining rooms, a prayer room, a cinema, and a state-of-the-art kitchen.The interior design was done by Storm’s mother, Judy, and it was screaming luxury.

At the Ferguson Group, during lunchtime, Thorne was looking at the food in front of him with disdain. For the past two years, his mother had delivered delicious food to his office without fail.However, since he sent Michaela to prison, she stopped delivering food to him and it hurt. He had been craving his mother’s food for a long time. He never thought that his beloved mother would turn her back on him because of an outsider. Even his childhood friend, David, cut ties with him because of Michaela. Was he wrong to avenge the love of his life?Thorne felt that Judge Harris was too lenient towards Michaela. Twenty years in prison would not bring back his son. He wished that he could go to prison and strangle his worthless ex-wife.Thorne hesitated, but he mustered his courage and dialed his mother’s number. When it was connected, he asked, “Mom, why did you stop preparing lunch for me? Even though the Ferguson family has disowned me, I am still your son.”His mother had a confused expr
Penny was in her office in a daze. She tried sketching a dress for her client, but her mind went blank. Her father’s hateful and cruel words were still ringing in her ears.Her family hurt her deeply. Every time she sees Aunt Judy's relationship with her son, Storm, Penny becomes jealous. Aunt Judy had showered her son with love, and Storm was the apple of his mother's eye.At that moment, her assistant, Tina Oaks, entered her office. She smiled at her boss and asked, “What is wrong, Penny? Why are you crying?”Penny didn’t even realize that she was crying. She wiped her face with a tissue and replied, “I was thinking about my family who abandoned me. I have been an obedient daughter since childhood, but I failed to capture their hearts.”Tina comforted her and said, “I am sorry, my dearest. However, I am glad that you are surrounded by people who love you. Penny, please send me my dreamboat photo. Looking at his photo will be enough for me.”Penny laughed out loud and asked, “Why don
Penny tried to work but she couldn’t concentrate. She took her handbag and went to Ives Clinton’s Penthouse. He was working at home that day because he was finalizing the project.When she arrived at his Penthouse she looked at him and asked, “Ives, please be honest with me. Do you love me?”Ives looked at his fiancée for a long time and asked, frowning, “Sweetheart, what is going on? Are you having second thoughts about me?”Then he tried to hold her in his arms but Penny dodged. She looked at him with questioning eyes.Ives furrowed his brows and asked, “What is wrong with you, Sweetheart? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?”Penny’s eyes were brimming with tears, and she said, “My family is saying you don’t love me, and you are marrying me out of obligation. Is that true, Ives?”Ives couldn’t believe his ears that he laughed. He became frustrated, but he managed to suppress his anger.When he saw tears in his fiancée’s eyes, his heart ached, and replied, “No, it’s n
When Storm and others arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, Owen and his bodyguards were waiting for them. Owen was carrying a placard with Storm’s name beaming with joy.Owen smiled broadly when he saw Grandpa Saxon. He hugged him tightly, grinning from ear to ear, and said, “Grandpa, welcome back to the USA. How are you doing?”Grandpa Saxon smiled brightly and replied, “Hello, my grandson. All is well with me. How are you doing?”Owen smiled and replied, “All is well with us too, Grandpa. My dad will be happy to see you.”Storm chuckled, and then he hugged his best friend tightly. He introduced Michaela's parents to him. Owen greeted them with respect.The bodyguards took their luggage and led them to the parking lot.

Penny hugged Aunt Judy’s arm and replied, sighing, “My day was bad, Auntie. My father’s words messed me up. Then Bella came to my office and demanded that I design her wedding dress.On top of that, she wanted me to drop everything and be her wedding planner. Something snapped inside of me. For the first time, I retaliated. I slapped her hard across her face.Before she left my office, she told me that Ives was marrying me out of obligation because my big brother helped him with his business. I am such a fool, Auntie. After listening to Bella’s provocative words, I started doubting Ives’ love.Then I went to his Penthouse to confront him. I heaved a sigh of relief when he told me he wanted to marry me because he loved me. From today onwards, I will never listen to the Earl family nonsense.I have big news, Auntie. Ives and I have set a wedding date. We are getting married on the 3rd of May. Auntie, is Big Brother back?”Aunt Judy hugged her tightly and replied, “I am so happy for you,

At Eden Public Hospital, the attending doctor told Bella that she was healing well and would be discharged soon. Bella was so scared because what was waiting for her was prison.The hospital had arranged counseling for Bella, but she refused to attend. She indicated that she had already accepted her condition. The hospital staff approached Bella, beaming and said, “The hospital has provided you with a wheelchair to help you move around easily.”Bella was so upset that she cried. She looked at the hospital staff and asked, “Why don’t I get a motorized wheelchair? Who is going to push me?

I felt that he was working against me.I will apologize to Mr Steel, big brother. I am sure he will forgive me. He told me that my case has garnered much attention from the public. I believe he took my case because he was seeking fame.”Samson shook his head and asked, “Paula, stop being delusional. I don't know why Mr Steel agreed to be your lawyer, but it was not for fame. You were so lucky to have such a capable lawyer, but you messed up everything. Would you forgive someone who humiliated you on national TV?Do you know what the netizens are saying on social media? They are saying that the court should allow you to defend yourself since you are capable.I don’t understand you anymore, Paula. What happened to my sweet baby sister?
