Sigrid pursed her lips and said, "I'm not jealous at all. I am only afraid she is going to start harming others after she becomes single." After all, Rose used to fight with Sigrid over a man. Whether George liked Rose was one matter, but what if Rose couldn't stand seeing Sigrid living a better life than her and came to find fault with her? What would happen then? George knew what Sigrid was thinking. However, he didn't think that Rose would actually do so. To put it bluntly, the main reason Rose harmed Sigrid was because she was worried that her identity as the eldest daughter of the Andrew family would disappear. Currently, she was a daughter of the Foster family, and Cedric was against her doing bad things. She wouldn't be able to pull anything fishy unless something happened to Cedric. After they had barbecue, Sigrid was hoping to watch a movie together. She wanted to enjoy some time with him. However, her phone began to vibrate at this time. She lo
"One can only lose weight on a full stomach!" Natasha wore disposable plastic gloves as she bit into the drumsticks in her hands. After some chewing, she continued, "KFC really is the best. I have been eating nutritious meals recently, so I have more than enough nutrition. Although the chefs made various kinds of meals, it's still gotten quite boring after some time." Christin watched as she gobbled up the chicken happily. He was aware of how uncomfortable she had been all this while. Although Natasha had always claimed that she wanted to lose weight, there were still times that she would suddenly enjoy a hearty meal like this once in a while. Therefore, the manager had always thought she was a troublemaker. "No wonder your manager secretly told me to supervise you. It seems like in Enigma, Lindsay is the only one not worrying people," Christin shook his head helplessly. Natasha became unhappy when she heard this and retorted, "Who said she isn't worryin
Christin was shocked. However, he later realized that she was just fooling him and scoffed, "You're using something like that to tease me? No way! You won't use makeup with too many chemicals!" Natasha knew that she had failed to trick Christin. However, she wasn't unhappy and just continued texting her manager. Christin noticed that she was almost done texting with her manager and took her phone away from her. He placed it on the bedside cabinet and suggested, "Let's go. Remove your makeup and let's take a bath together." Natasha reached out her hand to pinch his face and said, "In your dreams!" "I don't care. Let's take a bath together," Christin was determined to act shamelessly. After all, her pinches didn't hurt. He quickly went over and kissed her before saying, "I'm almost 30 years old and I'm still a virgin." "Suits you right for being so dumb," Natasha couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. She wasn't the one who rejected him. He only had himsel
In the future, it was likely for the beginner classes to experience classes for around three to four months, followed by a one month break. After Sigrid found out their working arrangements, she immediately felt that it was not easy to be a celebrity. It had been some time since Enigma last released a new song. This time, they released a few more new songs. To make things easier, each of them would sing a solo over the remaining days of this month, followed by another six songs sung together. Amongst the six group songs, four included a dance routine. This meant that they had to learn another four dances apart from the recording. Meanwhile, the solos were yet to be announced. Sigrid asked, "Are you all going to practice so many dances for the songs this month?" Elizabeth replied, "Yes." Sigrid wrote back, "That's scary. You have to learn so many dances within such a short period of time. It's really not easy to make money. Let Lucas make it up to you. Y
Sigrid kept thinking that Natasha was just stubbornly holding on. However, she understood that if she continued insisting, Natasha would feel embarrassed. Hence, she kept quiet. It was all because of Christin. Men were despicable and only knew all to enjoy themselves. Hmph! They were all jerks! At that moment, Christin, who was still feeling quite full of himself, felt his nose itch. He rubbed his nose and muttered, "My baby must be missing me." Jonason, who was standing next to him, looked at him in disgust and remarked, "You're really narcissistic." Christin snorted discontentedly, "You're talking as if you're not narcissistic." After the dance lesson in the afternoon began, Lindsay also arrived. A professional dance instructor was brought in to teach the two dance lessons. The most important task here was to teach all four Enigma's members. Hence, they stood in the middle while the others stood by the side. Christin was just here to join
On the morning of their departure, Eleven packed her luggage. It was only a small backpack. She walked toward Sigrid and said shyly, "Hello, Miss Sigrid. My name is Eleven." When Sigrid heard this, she felt her heart tighten for some unknown reason. Eleven was still so young. However, she looked very sensible. She addressed her so politely instead of calling her by her name. Ordinary children would not call her that. Maybe it was because she regarded herself as a servant of the Andrew family. Strictly speaking, the group of children in the Andrew family's training camp were being trained as servants. Sigrid squatted down and caressed Eleven's hair tenderly, asking, "Eleven, you are Tianna's friend, right?" Eleven quickly nodded, "Yes, we 're tablemates. Tianna has been very nice to me." Sigrid smiled, "Since you are Tianna's friend, you shouldn't call me Miss Sigrid. Tianna is my daughter, so you have to call me Aunt Sigrid." Eleven was
George ate very slowly and elegantly. He would probably starve to death if he was born in the past when there wasn't enough food. Sigrid looked at him while she drank her soup. Although she had been married to him for a long time, she hadn't gotten bored from looking at his face every day. His lips looked really beautiful, and she wanted to kiss them even when he was eating. George noticed Sigrid looking at him. However, he remained calm and pretended that he did not see it. After they finished eating, he took out a wet napkin and looked at her while wiping his lips, asking, "Is there food on my face? You've been staring at me since a while ago." Sigrid didn't blush even though she was discovered. She sat up straight and asked, "What about it? Can't I look at my own hubby now?" "Of course you can. Call me that a few more times," George was in a good mood as soon as he heard her call him that. Sigrid smiled and shouted, "My brother-in-law!" Geo
She didn't put on any makeup this day, nor did she apply any lipstick. The only thing she had was some lip balm. Sigrid snickered as she realized George was duped, "Why are you so afraid of getting my lipstick stains? They're not poisonous!" "It's not about whether there's poison or not," George's expression was solemn as he frowned, "I just don't want to apply any lipstick." It would make him look sissy. Sigrid was determined to apply more lipstick in the future. Once George kissed her, her lipstick stains would be on his lips. It would make him look like he had lipstick on. Moreover, she could also put on her lipstick and leave a lipstick mark on his cheek! He usually looked very restrained when in truth, he was a big pervert! It was a good idea to leave lipstick stains on his cheek! With that in mind, Sigrid was planning to try it out that very night. George sensed that she seemed to be up to something. He raised an eyebrow at her and as
"Okay." Grace agreed and said, "I have something else to discuss with you." When he finally heard this sentence, Zaden knew that there must've been something going on. "What's the matter?" As they talked, they went into the lounge. Zaden also specifically told the secretaries that no one was allowed to come in and disturb him before work in the afternoon. These words made the secretaries' eyes turn red. Since he had ordered them to keep everyone out of his office while he was inside with a woman, it was hard to control their imaginations from running wild. "How's your investigation on my surrogacy?" Grace asked. Zaden had thought that Grace's patience was wearing thin, and so she had sought him out for an update on his progress. Feeling a little ashamed, he said, "I'm sorry. There hasn't been any progress so far. You know that information on surrogacy is highly secured. It won't be so easy for my subordinates to investigate it." "It's okay. You
"Stop!" Grace made a gesture and said, "I'm going to the Empire Group. Do you want to go with me?" "Oh?" Gentry was flustered for a moment and then realized that he had almost gotten himself in trouble. He quickly said goodbye. "Sorry, sorry for bothering you. It's my fault!" Grace shook her head helplessly. She went to the kitchen to bring the toiletries she had prepared for Zaden, and set off for the Empire Group. Grace took a cab, as she didn't have the nerve to ask her chauffeurs to give her a ride. This was the first time Grace had taken the initiative to go there. She didn't know whether she was going to meet Zaden or not, but the staff at the front desk had changed since the last time she had went to deliver food and she didn't know when it had happened. Hence, the new staff didn't know her at all. However, when she saw that Grace was dressed up very beautifully and elegantly, she guessed that Grace must be someone important. Naturally, she didn't d
This time, Grace took the initiative. She stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around Zaden's neck, and took the initiative to plant her pink lips on his. The chaste kisses turned into lingering kisses. Zaden had always restrained himself very much. Every time he met Grace, he always felt that he was on the verge of losing control. "Well, I can't believe that you are so obedient today. Go to sleep. If you kiss me again, I might not remain chaste. You won't have a chance to sleep even if you want to," said Zaden. After going to bed, Grace took the initiative to cradle into Zaden's arms. Just like Dulcie acting like a spoiled child, Grace had also put all of her heart and soul into Zaden, like a spoiled child. The next day, there was still no sign of Zaden at breakfast in the Andrew household. "Oh? Dad's gone again..." Dulcie said regretfully. Douglas found that his sister was upset, thus he comforted her, "It doesn't matter, Dulcie. Daddy need
The silent confrontation was still going on, and Zaden was waiting. When would Moira give in? Moira was also waiting. When would Zaden be gracious enough to let her go? However, perhaps these two people didn't know each other very well. They both had naive expectations that were absolutely wrong and impossible to achieve from the beginning. "It's so cold..." Moira murmured in a low voice. As she spoke, a puff of white vapor immediately appeared in front of her lips. Even though kneeling down like this was not a big deal, Moira had always been pampered and had grown up a spoiled child. She had never suffered this kind of hardship before. Her body could not bear it either. She only felt that her legs were on the verge of losing its strength and becoming numb. The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the wind and rain swayed. Flowers in the garden were beaten into a mess by the rain, as so was Moira. Moira's body had reached its limit, and she could not catch h
"Plop—" Moira's kneecaps hit the ground, the sound of it ringing crisp. Grace was dumbfounded. She looked at Moira, who was kneeling in front of her, and could not say anything for a while. As for Zaden, there was not even the slightest expression on his face. "What, what are you doing?" Grace asked. She instinctively stood up from her chair as she took in the scene before her, at a complete loss of what to do. Moira glanced at her. Sometimes, when one's ego was at one's feet, one becomes more able to take humiliation than usual. She replied with indifference, "Why are you so agitated? I'm not kneeling at you. Don't think too much of yourself." Moira looked at Zaden and said, "Zaden, I beg you, please have mercy on the Coulson family. No matter what you demand, as long as I can do it, you can demand it!" Zaden frowned and said, "Kneel further if you want to. You're an eyesore right now." Mercy? For someone like Zaden, mercy had always bee
"No, Mother, if Zaden takes over the Coulson Group, then we..." Moira could not continue speaking. She did not even want to imagine what would happen. "You understand now? I thought a donkey kicked you in the brain!" "That... That won't do. I'll go beg him right now!" Moira shouted. Now that things had come to this, it was obvious that Zaden's target was Moira. Although she was extremely unwilling, she would have to make a stand against him now. No matter what she would have to experience, she had to protect the company. She could not lose everything. She rushed to the Andrew family villa, but Moira was not even allowed through the main entrance. "Let me in!" Moira began making a scene outside. She made such a ruckus that it was difficult for the people inside to ignore her. "Mr. Andrew, Miss Coulson is causing a scene outside, this..." the butler informed Zaden "Let her be," Zaden said expressionlessly. This was not the first
Grace frowned before cutting Moira off. "Moira, there's no use in talking to me like that. I just want to know who it is. Tell me the truth!" "Do you think I'll tell you just because you want to know?" Moira scoffed before retorting, "Who do you think you are?" "Does this mean that you admit you used Mr. Yale's name to deceive me?" Grace quickly latched onto the loophole in Moira's words. "Hah, I didn't say that. You're just making things up." Moira was still as stubborn as a mule. She once again diverted the topic so that she could insult and ridicule Grace. All sorts of vulgarities came through the call, and each minute that passed only pushed a person's limits even further. Grace felt nothing at Moira's words. However, Zaden, who was next to her, did not want to hear any more of it. He was on his last straw, so he grabbed the phone to end the call. "Are you stupid? Just letting her scold you like that?" Zaden asked, his tone sour. "As long a
"Mr. Yale and his wife are quite old, so having children has been difficult for them. In the beginning, they contacted many surrogacy agencies. However, Mr. Yale was extremely cautious when it came to picking a surrogate mother. This caused a lot of trouble to the agencies since the surrogate mothers they suggested never met his standards." "Later, Mr. Yale thought about going abroad to find a surrogate mother. However, right at the critical moment, he suddenly found out that Mrs. Yale was already pregnant!" "The pleasant surprise caused them to give up their search for a surrogate mother. After all, Mrs. Yale wasn't getting any younger and they both went through a lot to get this son, so that's why the Yale family treats him so preciously." As Zaden listened to the report from his subordinate on the other end of the call, his mood grew complicated. The only way he could clear his mind was to focus on the fact that the night wind had blown his body cold. To be h
Mr. Yale's word of thanks was like a knife stabbing into Grace's heart. How could she be worthy of his gratitude? She could not take it anymore and felt like returning to the car to escape the situation. Mr. Yale withdrew his hand in embarrassment. Even he, who was usually slick and smooth, could not find the right words to say at this time. Zaden tried to smooth things over by saying, "I'm sorry, she was one of the victims too, so..." "I understand," Mr. Yale said with a nod. "We understand and more than anything else, we thank you, Mr. Andrew. You've worked hard today. We won't take up any more of your time. You should go back early and rest. We will definitely drop by next time to properly thank you." Zaden nodded and turned to get in the car. Dulcie was all worn out from crying too long, so she was curled up in her seat and fast asleep. Zaden asked softly, "What on earth happened before I arrived?" Grace suddenly turned teary-eyed. The tear
