“You have a death wish, don’t you?”

Gerard groaned and dodged. Then with a cheeky smile, he said, “Don’t be mad. I was just kidding. You are still pretty. No one can compare to you in my heart.”

Priscilla gritted her teeth. “Stop being so proud. After all, I don’t have such a big nephew like you.”

Upon hearing it, Gerard was taken aback.

The makeup artist couldn’t help but burst into laughter and only then did he understand what Priscilla meant by it.

Since Anne called Priscilla Aunt and called him by his name, Gerard was in the same generation as Anne. Hence, she could naturally treat him as her nephew in this case.

Upon realizing it, Gerard looked annoyed.

“Anne, you can call me Uncle in the future, okay?”

Anne curled her eyes when smiling. “But you are an idol. An idol can’t get old. If I called you uncle, it meant you are aged, so I can’t call you Uncle Gerard.”

Gerard was rendered speechless.

He was so annoyed. This little girl seemed to know a lot.

Finally, he couldn’t insist on

    “Excuse me. Are you the guests of Room 6602?”All three of them were taken aback. The granny hurriedly said, “Yes, we have something emergent to deal with upstairs now. If you have something to say, come back to me later. All right?”After finishing her words, she dragged Priscilla and Anne to trot inside.However, they were stopped by the staff again.This time, not only the staff in the lobby but also two security guards stood in front of them.They all looked quite serious. The staff from the lobby gazed at the granny and said seriously, “Excuse me, Madam. You haven’t paid for the room for two days. You said you would pay it today, so we agreed to let you and your granddaughter continue staying here. But since this morning, we have failed to contact you. If you don’t pay today, I’m afraid we can’t let you continue staying here.”Priscilla was startled. She turned around to look over at the granny.The granny looked quite embarrassed.“Well... I planned to pay today, but my wallet w

    Hence, she held his neck and begged, “Just one night, okay? I promise I’ll help them contact their family tomorrow morning. We won’t trouble you!”Fredrick looked at her, chuckling.This woman was way too innocent, and cute.Finally, he nodded in agreement, pinching her waist gently.“Okay, but how will you bribe me then?”Priscilla blushed.She knew what he aimed for. Approaching him, she quickly landed a peck on his lips.When she was about to move back, a big palm pressed on the back of her head. The man pulled her into his arms and the kiss grew wilder.After the kiss, she opened her eyes, panting.She saw the man’s handsome and flawless face, on which his deep eyes were full of desire.“Another half a month.”Jillian was slightly startled. When she understood what he meant, she bit her bottom lip.Her white teeth chewed the red bottom lip, making it look like an appetizing red cherry.Fredrick’s eyes were deepened, his Adam’s apple bobbing. He suppressed the desire in his heart

    Adriana had been observing her for the past few days.“Mom, since you know it, why would you agree to her being with Frederick? Do you know what others say about her? If we allow this kind of woman to marry into the Lincoln family, it’ll be our shame!”“Enough!”Adriana suddenly became angry. “Those are just rumours! I don’t care what others say. I only believe what I’ve seen in person. You must go back to Spark Land with me right now! You can’t stay here making trouble any longer. If you’re not willing to go back, you’d better not come here anymore in the future!”“But Mom...”“Dear, let’s go.” After finishing her words, Ariana took Anne away in anger.Looking at their receding figures, Stella was so angry that she almost puked blood.“Do you think my mother was bewitched by that woman? How could she trust that woman so much?”Hadassah slightly looked down, she was clenching her fingers. After a moment, she smiled.“Madam Ariana is always nice, so everyone looks kind-hearted to her.

    In the bathroom, Nancy leant over the toilet, almost vomiting her guts out.Priscilla ran in, she looked at her state, and almost confirmed her speculation right then and there.Her heart ached.She went out and took a glass of water in with a napkin.Stroking her back, she soothed, “How are you doing? Are you okay?”Nancy waved it off, shaking her head.It took her a long while to find her voice. “I’m fine. I’m all right.”Priscilla passed her the water. Nancy took a sip, she rinsed her mouth, and wiped her mouth off with the napkin before finally saying, “I’m sorry for ruining the evening.”Priscilla shook her head hurriedly. “What do you mean? You’re already like this, so forget the evening, okay?” After a while, she got a little mad. “Why didn’t you tell me when something this important has happened? What’s going on?”Nancy looked at her and knew she’d already guessed it. She bit her lip. After a while, she said, “You’ve probably noticed – I’m pregnant.”Priscilla nodded. “With a

    “I do, but I’m not the director, it’s one of my friends. He’s new in the business and doesn’t have much experience…”“It’s fine. So long as the script is good, it doesn’t matter who the director is.”Paul chuckled.“Is that so? Have you called that friend of mine, then?”That touched Regina’s nerves.That up-and-coming director was called Vines Lucas or something. He wasn’t very famous, but he had a big temper.She was one of the top-line actresses in the business. Even with all the scandals, she still had scores of fans. It was an honour to have her participate in his works, but he refused?That man didn’t know what was good for him!But as things stood now, Regina didn’t have any better choices.

    If it was a rose, it would bloom sooner or later.Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes and a wicked idea came to his mind.“Vines, you’re interested in her, aren’t you? Her name is Priscilla. She is the head of the Public Relations department of Anderson International, not an actress. If you can persuade her to take the role in this drama, I will kneel in front of you! But if you can’t do that, you must listen to me. I will determine who would be the heroine. How about that? Bet or not?” Paulo was provoking him, and Vines couldn’t bear it.He sneered, “Why not? Let’s make a bet!” seeing him get hooked, Paulo laughed and said with pride, “Okay, then it’s a deal. You can’t go back on your word!”Vines snorted heavily. He didn’t respond and directly hung up the phone.The next day, when Priscilla had just arrived at the office, her assistant came over and told her that someone was waiting for her.She was a little surprised. It was just 8:30 in the morning. Most people in this circle res

    Although she had scandals now, she still had fame and popularity. If it was before, every director would come and invite her to play in their drama. How could anyone refuse her?All in all, it was that bitch Priscilla’s fault!If it weren’t for her, how would she have ended up in such a situation?The more Regina thought about it, the angrier she became. She clenched her fists tightly. When she felt the pain in her hands, there were already a few deep red marks on her fair palms, almost bleeding.Only then did she take a deep breath, slowly loosen her hands and call Terry.“Have you gotten any news from Director Romans? Does he agree or not?” Terry had just hung up the phone with Paulo. It was not long before she received a call from Regina.She was still thinking about how to tell Regina the truth. Hearing her ask about it, she couldn’t help but sigh.“They have decided. The heroine is not you.”“W-What?”Regina was shocked and her face changed drastically.No wonder she was surpris

    Fredrick finally could not hold back his laughter when he heard her innocent words. He said blandly, “Could you possibly carry me?”“Of course. I might look tiny, my strength is huge.”“Alright, I’ll let you carry me in the future.”“Deal.”Priscilla was brimming with happiness and she felt that it was the happiest thing in the world.To continue walking with her loved one until they grew old, even without extreme excitements and luxuries, as long as they were both healthy and could stay with each other for the rest of their life, it would be enough.They only reached the foot of the hill when it was noon. They were both starving and thirsty.There were several local-looking restaurants at the foot of the hill, they randomly picked one and entered.After having lunch, they took a taxi on their way back. Proscilla did not sleep well last night. She felt exhausted and sleepy the moment she got into the car, and she fell deeply asleep shortly.It was already evening when she woke up.She

    Priscilla glanced at the padlock and seeing his serious and neat writing, her eyelashes trembled a little.Fredrick noticed some romantic words were written on other padlocks after he finished writing the names. He then asked Priscilla for her opinion, “Shall we write something on it?”She asked him in return, “What do you think we should write?”Fredrick felt troubled. He was not the mushy type and he would only say something heart-warming and sappy when he faced her and was brimming with emotions.Yet he truly could not think of any romantic words when they were in the middle of nowhere.Since he had said that, he did not want to give up. After pondering for a while, he took the pen and wrote swiftly on the padlock.Priscilla approached him to take a look, and the words written on top were – “I want to sleep with her forever!”She was speechless.‘Are you kidding me, Mister Lincoln?’Fredrick hung the padlock on the bridge with great satisfaction.Priscilla still had a descendant’s

    “Oh, everything is sold out. We’ll have to get some fresh ingredients tomorrow morning. But I got some bread and yogurt this afternoon. You can have them if you want!”Hannah went to the refrigerator, pulled out the bread and yogurt, and presented it to them.Priscilla immediately waved her hand. “It’s okay, you’re running a business here. How could we take it for free?”Fredrick quickly pulled three notes from his wallet and handed them to her.“What are you doing? These are just bread and yogurt. We are all from the same country before, and we are now in a foreign land. I can certainly afford to treat you this.” Hannah said.Priscilla blushed and felt embarrassed.“No, we didn’t mean it that way.”“In any case, take this! There are no stores or restaurants along the way you’re taking, so this will be your final chance to get food.”“Oh, I see,” Priscilla murmured.“Yes, and don’t stay out too late at night since the tourist attractions are packed with all sorts of people.

    “There are so many lovely places! If you go east from here, you will see the Smoking Sea. It is close and offers the finest view. The sea is misty, giving it the appearance of a paradise. If you walk north, you’ll notice a mysterious temple on top of Mount Praia. Make a wish, and it will be granted. Nine out of ten visitors will visit the temple, and many couples like going on dates there as well. If you’re interested, you could go tomorrow because it’s a little late today. Climbing to the peak takes at least half a day.” Hannah explain.“Oh, I heard there’ll be a meteor shower here tomorrow, right?” Priscilla inquired, her eyes wide with curiosity. She looked up tourist attractions and weather forecasts before coming, and it’s been predicted that there would be a meteor shower tomorrow.“Meteor shower?” Hannah shook her head and frowned, “I’ve never heard of that, but you may have a look. Even without the meteor shower, there are plenty of places to visit around the mountain.”Prisc

    “I’m not always free, and don’t you want to go on vacation?” Fredrick said sternly.Priscilla’s eyes twinkled, “Of course I do.”She quickly started going over the material and deciding where she wanted to go.As she looked over the documents, she asked if there was any place he wanted to go to. Fredrick was fine with everything because he knew she would start shooting soon and he wouldn’t be able to visit her every day as he was busy, so they would be apart for a short time.So he wanted to spend as much time as he could with her now that he was free.Priscilla was fast to choose a location. After all, she had travelled to numerous locations in the last several years.She chose a few less popular spots and showed him her choice.“These are the locations I had wanted to go when I was alone. They are perfect for this season.Priscilla swiped on the tablet. These were all spots with gorgeous landscapes, ideal for a couple on vacation. He felt satisfied and chose a spot after thinking fo

The gist of the statement was that Mika’s activities had been suspended for an indefinite period as she had broken her contract.As soon as this statement was posted, there was an uproar on the internet.Anderson International did not give much detail as to what she did.

    “Enough!” Andrei spoke out to interrupt him. “I know that it’s not easy for you either. Things have already happened, and the damage caused cannot be undone, I don’t blame you for that, but...” He paused for a while and looked at him with a stern gaze, “You should be able to investigate something like reporting a false crime thoroughly, right!”The officer was shocked.Logically, it could not be considered as a false report as they indeed found the drugs at the scene. It was just that they still needed to find out the real owner of the drugs they had found. As he was thinking, Andrei’s voice came out again.“The drugs do not belong to Gwyneth, so they must belong to someone else. The drugs appear out of nowhere, so you must find out their source.”The officer hurriedly nodded, “Yes, please don’t worry about it, we will find out the truth.”Only then did Andrei nod in satisfaction, “So, can she go now?”“Of course. Mr. Nixon, this way.”Only then did Gwyneth leave with Andrei.As expec

    “Yes! If you still don’t believe me, you can give me a urine test and check if I have a history of drug use. If I don’t have a history of drug use, why do I bring it here? I know how important this occasion is. Isn’t it that I’m asking for trouble bringing such things in? I don’t take drugs as well! It’s obvious that someone had framed me and wants to ruin my future.”The officer thought for a moment.Then, he lifted his eyes and looked at her.“So, who do you think would have framed you?”“Naturally, the one who had reported it should also be the one who had framed me!”The officer sneered. He suddenly slapped the table and said angrily, “Nonsense!”Another officer next to him also sneered, “The one who reported you was an ordinary waiter. Why did he frame you? If you want to clear yourself, you better find a better excuse first!”Gwyneth was stunned.Before she could do anything, she saw the officer waving his big hand.“Alright, don’t talk nonsense with her, bring the stuff and cuf

    “That’s right, she dares to insult you so unruly and openly now. If she gets famous one day, won’t she bully you?”“Right, you are her senior by years. She is being disrespectful to you by behaving like this.”Mika looked over at them, “Do you guys mean that you want me to deal with her?”The crowd hurriedly nodded unanimously.She sneered suddenly, “You guys think that I’m stupid? She’s now under Mr. Nixon’s protection, but you guys want me to mess around with her? Do you guys want me to completely offend him, or do you want me to be forced out of the circle?”At the moment these words came out, the women’s faces instantly changed.“Mika, we didn’t mean that.”“You guys know exactly what you mean!” Mika sneered, “I’ve been in this circle longer than you, so don’t expect to tackle me using that kind of provocation. Trying to make me a gun? You’re still a bit too young!”After saying that, she gave a heavy cold snort and turned around to leave.Priscilla and Gwyneth were pulled by Andr
