Sigrid showed Rachel her phone screen and said, "Look, she hasn't started filming for the variety show yet, and another series has already announced that she is going to be third female lead actress." Rachel took her phone over quickly to take a glimpse. Then, she hesitated. "I have actually read this book before. It's so popular. I heard the amount of money invested to produce the television series is quite high too. Although the third female lead is not a good role, there should be many people fighting for this role. If she can act well, then she will probably be popular." "She only needs to be herself for this role. I feel she doesn't even need to act at all," Sigrid said indecisively. Rachel felt that what she said made sense. "After hearing what you said, I suddenly would like to know who is backing her. It used to be your husband. Who could it be this time?" Sigrid was a little unhappy. "As long as it isn't my husband this time. Everything will be fine if
Sigrid said, "That's funny! I don't think I should. Since I'm so beautiful, won't I attract a lot of haters? Elizabeth replied, "That's quite right. A good-looking woman like you is so rare. Then, you should participate in the show as a guest." Sigrid laughed like crazy while typing. Elizabeth would agree with her too every time when she was being narcissistic. After all, the two of them looked alike. If Elizabeth said Sigrid was pretty, she was also praising herself. Sigrid replied, "Yes, I'm fine with it, but my husband probably doesn't want to go." Elizabeth said, "Tell him that you're going to participate in the love variety show. He will never let any other man be your partner." Sigrid said, "Lizzy, I find that you seem to have a knack while dealing with men. How many times have you been in a relationship? Sigrid was in a dilemma. Although she had not fully regained her memory, she still had her memories from earlier. She also still r
Everyone thought, "Is that sentence 'You guys are really the worst batch of guests I have ever worked with' invariable?" "All right. I'll provide here some of the questions given to me by the program team." Lindsay frowned seriously. The director was watching the camera on the other side while wiping his sweat and thought to himself, "You should just ask those questions. Why did you have to say that we provided them?" "I'm going to ask the first question. Mr. Toland and Sigrid, I heard that there are several cute babies in your family. Why don't you all bring them along to film? The cute babies could also attract a lot of fans!" Sigrid frowned. "I don't really want my children to be discussed about so openly in front of so many people. It's better to let them grow up peacefully." "That's true. There aren't many child celebrities like Natasha who grew up in the eyes of the public anymore." As Lindsay spoke, she patted Natasha's shoulder. "Little kid,
After that, she kissed George. D*mn it! He had completely forgotten about this! If he had known earlier, he would not have allowed her to come! George's face completely darkened. Suddenly, he sneered again, "It's okay. After the filming is over, make it up to me." Sigrid thought to herself, "Back then, who was the one who said that indulging in too much sex is bad for health, and could only satisfy me once a day at most!" Oh, by the way, he would only satisfy her once a day. And, she was the one who satisfied him the rest of the time! Hmph! She was so mad. Sigrid glanced at him disgustedly. Then, she went to chat with someone else. The next day, the filming for the variety show carried on as usual. Sigrid noticed that Rebecca seemed to have moved closer to her side knowingly or unknowingly. She figured that she probably wanted to provide the program team with a chance to edit the video clips randomly. Thus, they could create a preview of
Another one commented, "The production team is trying to stir up trouble! I am begging it not to be Lindsay! Lindsay, I won't allow you to fall in puppy love at such a young age!" Sigrid saw one of the comments and took a screenshot calmly. Then, she logged into her laptop and sent it to the beginner class' group chat. Sigrid sent a picture to the group chat. Lindsay replied, "Even if I'm in a relationship, it's not considered puppy love anymore! Lindsay added, "I'm crying out of anger! Why did they say I have a puppy love and not Natasha when she is actually the one in a relationship now?" Lindsay sent a sad emoticon to the group chat. Natasha replied, "Be a good girl. You're still a baby. Don't think about falling in puppy love at such a young age." Sigrid felt that Lindsay was in a miserable situation. Her baby face might have an advantage as she grew older because she looked younger than the average person. Which woman didn't wa
Sigrid said, "Forget it. We'd better stay at home!" They would not be exhausted because of the exercise session after taking the medicinal bath. She didn't know what excuse he would come up with then to do something to her! Did she look like such a stupid person? Sigrid figured that she might become lazy after having a break for a month. She was worried Elizabeth might look down on her during the upcoming beginner class. She suddenly had an idea and said, "How about this, let's have a date in the gym just like before!" George was speechless. Sigrid felt that this was such a good idea. She blinked innocently and said, "It is decided!" George ignored her. Anyway, he would take her out to hang around outside whenever he could. He had not accompanied her for a long time already. A few days later, a much anticipated forced kiss scene appeared. When it was released, Sigrid was taking a bath. After the bath, she went to check on the children who had f
Hearing this, George couldn't help but laugh. "You used to be like this whenever you were drunk. You see yourself as the queen." Hearing this, Sigrid suddenly blushed. "Really? What else did I do?" "You'll take the initiative to keep seducing me." As George said that, he felt his mouth dry and his gaze heating up as he looked at her. "You look like a little vixen." Sigrid's mind was full of impure thoughts, especially when he said 'little vixen', it reminded her of something. She had read about those classical lines from those domineering CEO romance novels. Ah!! She felt so shameful just by thinking about it! George saw her face getting redder, then he raised his hand and touched her cheeks. Her face was burning hot and he raised his eyebrows, "What are you thinking about? Why are you blushing so much like this?" Sigrid pursed her lips. She was too embarrassed to say that she was thinking a lot of shameful things at this moment. It was all Geo
Sigrid nodded. When they left, Sigrid noticed that Cyril still turned back to look at her. The look in his eyes made Sigrid feel a bit weird. He seemed to be feeling pity... Why did he feel that way? Sigrid was puzzled. However, on second thought, when did her handsome dad have a younger brother? Why had she not heard of him before? And like what Wesley just said, he seemed to have met Elizabeth when she was only five years old. Wouldn't that make it almost 20 years since they last met? Even if both brothers got married and lived separately, did they really have no contact with each other even during the holidays? Sigrid was a little puzzled. Seeing that it was almost time, she sent a voice message to Christin. Whenever Sigrid encountered a situation that required a clear understanding, it was definitely right to ask Christin to get clarification. Jonason and Elizabeth were people of few words. At most, they would introduce themselv
"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
