Natasha took back her hand and she said, "Thank you for showing mercy for so many years... I dare not to say that you are underage anymore in the future." "Hmph! It's good that you have realized this now! I can prove that I am older than you with my ID card!" Seeing Lindsay's expression, Natasha was a little skeptical. In fact, Lindsay should have taken the role of leader in their team. Thinking about it, it made sense. If Elizabeth had gotten the script in advance, she would have taken them to solve the puzzles as soon as possible for an early dinner. Then, the show wouldn't have anything to look forward to. "I think this digit "6" could be a clue for us to follow a certain pattern, maybe the 6th number on each turn is the password, so in the end, there will be 8 numbers for the password on the door." "According to the most basic rule, we can try from left to right first. If we fail after five tries, we'll just wait for ten minutes," Christin said.
Seeing that he was staring at her, Elizabeth raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you looking at?" Lucas rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said, "Nothing, you're wearing a different type of makeup today, I think it looks good." Elizabeth was silent. She usually preferred a more mature style for makeup. Lucas didn't behave like this normally, did he like this style more? Well... men. Elizabeth gave him a disgusted look and then stopped talking. Lucas didn't know how he had offended her. He hesitated for a moment and added, "You look good normally too, but you look younger and energetic today." Ha! Foolish man. Seeing that she was still ignoring him, Lucas frowned and had some thoughts. Then he said, "I'll cook supper for you tonight." Hearing that, Elizabeth's face lit up. Lucas was wondering if she purposely pretended to be angry because she wanted him to say this. When they went back to the filming studio to change h
Silvia immediately called Miley. When Miley received the message, she was holding onto the menu from the hotel's room to order food. She had not eaten much for dinner that day and wanted to have supper. This was a bad habit she had gotten after living with Jonason. She was eating more now because of the large amount of energy consumption during the classes. Otherwise, she would be malnourished if she did not have sufficient nutrition intake after her huge daily consumption of body energy. However, to look good in front of the camera, she certainly couldn't eat too much, so she had developed the habit of eating less but having more meals per day. Apart from the usual breakfast, lunch, and dinner, there was also supper. It was just right to eat four meals a day. Miley felt really guilty when she received the phone call from Silvia while scrolling through the menu. She then realized that she didn't have to feel guilty as she hadn't even ordered yet. H
So, she handed a piece of anti-wrinkle mask to Jonason and said, "This is suitable for you. It's to prevent wrinkles." Jonason was speechless. He couldn't help but touch his face. Was he really that old? "Don't wonder if you need anti-wrinkle care. This is my facial mask. I even use it at my age, let alone you." Miley looked at him with disdain and said, "You should learn from your brother. Natasha said that he's very hard working when it comes to putting on facial masks! And he is using many skin care products too." Jonason hesitated, then took the anti-wrinkle mask and went into the bathroom to wash his face and apply it. After putting on the mask, he logged into the group chat of the Handsome Men Group to send a message. Jonason mentioned Christin in the group and said, "I heard that you're very active when it comes to putting on facial masks?" Christin replied, "Of course! I have to take good care of my handsome face. Otherwise, how can I
Sigrid comforted her and said, "They can't go to class yet for now, but maybe they can go when Eleven has been promoted." In fact, Sigrid felt that even if Oreo and Candy were to go to class, they would not be in the same class as Tianna. There were several different classes for kids. At the beginning of each new class, there would be a bunch of new students assigned, and they were about the same age. Tianna's class was already full. By the time Oreo and Candy could go to class, they would probably be assigned to the other classes. But she could only comfort her like this at the moment. Tianna then went to class happily. After Sigrid went home, she saw her son sitting on the ground and playing with lipsticks. He was frowning and seemed to be very unhappy. She went over to sit down and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you, Oreo? Are you missing your sister?" Oreo looked at her mother unhappily. He had figured out the pattern, which was that his m
To put it bluntly, the only that mattered to him was for the boat to stop when it had arrived at a determined location, and he really did not care to know how it was stopped. It was like using a mobile phone, as long as the mobile phone was functioning, then it was sufficient for the users. There was no need to know how the mobile phone could operate like this. Sigrid looked at her son's confused expression and his curiosity to learn, then she could only say, "The boat is equipped with a special detector, so it will automatically recognize the room. So, it will stop at the designated destination." And then Oreo continued to ask how the detector was able to do so, which caused Sigrid to change the topic. "The dishes are going to be served soon. Let's go and wash our hands first, okay?" The two children nodded and followed Sigrid to wash their hands. Seeing that she had finally stopped the conversation, Sigrid breathed a sigh of relief. When all the di
Their eyes lit up upon hearing this, as they quickly changed into the dresses that they usually wore and followed along. The entertainment center inside the Andrew family was very well-maintained. George and Sigrid had already chosen a place before they took the children there. They planned to bring them for dinner first before watching the movie. They chose KFC which the children liked for dinner. Sigrid was worried they might get heaty, so she had ordered the maid to cook some refreshing soup for them at home. After eating, they went to the cinema. The cinema they went to was a family-friendly one, so there was a sound-control system for them to control the volume to prevent the children from being shocked by the loud volume in a normal cinema. "I'm going to the washroom. Please take good care of them," Sigrid said to George. George nodded. Sigrid then left for the toilet. After doing her "task" in the toilet, she walked out of the bath
He frowned. From his point of view, he was not sure if Oreo had seen them kissing. This would mean that they had failed as parents to educate their children. After the movie ended, they left the cinema with the kids. On the way back, they saw some snacks being sold by the roadside, so they bought some for the kids since they wanted them. Anyway, this route was the nearest way back, they had to take this route regardless if they would bump into Eddison or not. Tianna was holding an ice cream in her hand, and her heart was full of joy. Oreo and Candy couldn't eat too much cold and sweet food since they were still young, but Tianna and Eleven were both holding a small ice cream in their hands. Sigrid was holding a bigger ice cream in her hand, whereas George was holding one with a different flavor. Sometimes they would exchange their ice cream. Candy looked at her sister enviously and said, "Sister, I want to eat too." Tianna frowned a
"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
