It was like he had just told a joke.

Priscilla looked at Ryan sarcastically, “So you mean, they are wrong, but you are not?”

Ryan’s back stiffened slightly.

He took a deep breath, and explained, “ I did not know you were drugged last night. I did notice something was wrong with you at that time, but I didn’t think of it that way. I was going to help you, but Regina suddenly had a stomachache. I can’t just leave her alone.”

Priscilla raised her eyebrows, “ And then? She lost the baby?”

After a short pause, he finally answered, “No.”

“She did not lose her baby, so she just had a stomachache suddenly for no reason? I think she’s doing well just now. She doesn’t seem like having a miscarriage?” Priscilla said.

His expression turned cold somewhat. “What did you mean?”

Priscilla gave a wet smile, “I don’t mean anything. Her acting was not that good, but she still fooled you around. Mr. Smith, I did not think you were so dumb.”

“Priscilla!” He hated her condescending manner the most.

    Nancy forced a smile.Fun?Unfortunately, he looked so unhappy.“It’s seemed like in this life he hated me the most. I promised to stay out of his life forever, but now I have broken the promise I made, and I have also forced him to candlelight dinner with me. He might just hate me to the core now.” Nancy felt that her eyes were getting sour again. She held back her tears quickly once again. She could not cry so as not to ruin her makeup. “I took so much time getting this makeup done. I can’t afford to ruin it now.” She said to herself. She looked up and stayed for a few seconds so the tears wouldn’t drop off her eyes.On the other hand, Priscilla knew something had happened to Nancy because she hadn’t said a word for a while which was unlike her. “Nancy, are you alright?” Priscilla asked.Nancy quickly replied.“I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m in the restroom.”“That’s great then, how are you getting along?” “Nothing much, you know how he can be quite cold while sitting for hours withou

    Fredrick was holding his coat and tie in one hand while looking at Priscilla who was still in shock.The man smirked and teased her with his eyes. He simply stared at her without moving an inch. Priscilla suddenly had a nudge to die due to the tension she was feeling. She immediately ended the video call and turned around to glare at Fredrick.Fredrick forced himself to hold back his laughter, as he placed his suit and tie on a nearby chair while approaching Priscilla. “Darling, I really didn’t know that you miss me this much whenever I am not at home.” He said. Priscilla pouted her lips and also pretended to cry because she was really mad at him.“Fredrick, why didn’t you knock on the door before opening it?” Priscilla asked. “This is my house and we are also married so there is nothing I cannot see. And why should I knock on the door?” Fredrick asked, raising his eyebrows. She was speechless yet so mad at him. But these words spoken by Fredrick seemed to have a point. ‘What s

  • THE CEO'S WIFE   CHAPTER FIFITY-THREE – SWEET TALK

    Priscilla went upstairs, trying to explain to Wilma. However, the old lady Wilma didn’t believe what she said at all.On the contrary. She gave her a suggestive look, “I understand Madam. You don’t have to be shy about it. It’s a great thing for couples to share a good relationship. Soon, a little young master will be on his way, and all the hustle and bustle in the Mansion.”In short, she rambled on and refused to believe Priscilla that it was all a misunderstanding.Priscilla gave up when she found that Wilma was difficult to get through. Technically speaking, Fredrick and she were a legally married couple. So it was nothing out of the ordinary for them to be engaging in a little intimacy.It was quite awkward, to be caught red-handed by an elder, but it was not a big deal.Priscilla decided to abandon her plan to forgo the chance to restore her uppity image in Wilma’s mind. Instead, she poured herself a glass of milk and headed upstairs.When she passed by the study, she suddenl

    As she snuggled under the cover, Fredrick’s eyes darkened. Without further explanation, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.With the splitter-splattering sound of water going on the other side, Priscila couldn’t fall asleep at all.Those flirting words she heard outside the study, kept echoing in her mind.It sounded so intimate, she wouldn’t believe it if she hadn’t heard it with her own ears.Then she recalled what Frederick said when he forced her to get the Marriage license and the scenes of the past few days. She felt bitter in her heart.Fortunately, they had only been together for a short time. Although they were merely husband and wife, they were more like business partners.Priscilla would try her best to play the role of a wife, while he fulfills his role as a husband when necessary. It was for the better.For someone who had been betrayed once, Priscilla no longer counted on meeting her true love.So all was good... Right?Priscilla kept trying to reassure herself

    With a stiffened back, Priscilla dared not make any sudden movement.Amid the darkness, her eyes widened in the darkness.Was he… really asleep?He usually kept to his side of the bed. What was all the sprawling around the bed today? Was he pretending to be asleep?Priscilla waited a moment and Frederick stopped fidgeting too. The pin-drop silence with the man’s faint breathing in the background drew out a frame of tranquility and serenity.When she was sure that the man behind her was indeed asleep, she carefully lifted his arm, trying to move it away.However, the action immediately resulted in murmurs coming from behind her.And the arm rested on her waist tightened to wrap her.What’s more, Frederick’s whole body pressed on her, his handsome face buried in her long hair, as if she was a large-sized pillow. She was imprisoned by him now.Nestled in his embrace, Priscilla was left breathless from the suffocation while her body lay stiffened.The faint breathing spewing between her h

    Smirking, Priscilla threw him a glance. “Leo works for you. Do you think I’m so stupid to ask him?”Fredrick choked on her words.But her retort sounded reasonable at a second thought.Well, she was indeed a hard nut to crack. At such a critical moment, even a man as brilliant as him could become a bad problem solver.Indeed, soothing the nerves of one’s wife was a lifesaving skill as he could not make a blunder in a pinch. How did he come up with such an idea?He changed his approach and comforted her, “Well, whatever you say makes sense, but I swear that I never had another woman other than you. If any of my words don’t ring true, I deserve a painful death.”Before Frederick could finish his words, Priscilla’s eyelids throbbed.For some reason, she had a sinking feeling in her stomach, and before she knew it, her hands were already over his mouth.Fredrick laughed.Priscilla glared at him.“I’m telling you, don’t bother fooling me with your tactics. The world wouldn’t have that many

    The next day, Priscilla took Gwyneth Gonzalez to Paul’s office as promised.Regina and Terry were also at Paul’s office.Regina was taken by surprise to see Priscilla. She said, “Sister, why are you here too?”Priscilla faintly threw her a glance.Regina adored a proud princess look today, wearing a white dress matched with a jacket of the same color.Following behind her was another girl.Priscilla knew her. She was Regina’s distant cousin, named… Lyla Kelly?Lyla rose to Fame as an online celebrity and signed with Regina’s studio. Her relationship with Regina and their resemblance in appearance earned her the title of Regina’s little sister.Because of this title, she was doing well in the entertainment industry.Regina was also glad to cultivate her. After all, nothing could highlight her beauty and excellence more than a little sister.Priscilla sneered in her heart at the thought of it, and coldly blurted. “is this your office?”That meant, why couldn’t she be here?Regina’s face

  • THE CEO'S WIFE   CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT – MEG’S CHARACTER

    Gwyneth may have a round face, but she was natural and adorable. At first, her bearing and face shape did not work in her favour against a strong and persevering character such as Meg Cuneta.It never crossed anyone’s mind that she would come out looking good after styling.She not only inspired Meg Cuneta’s forbearing temperament but also had a kind of natural indifference and conceit.This was a fairly complicated person.After all, she was once a princess of an empire, high above the masses.There was no one above her other than the emperor. Her arrogance was bred in the bone. Even with her country and family in ruins, she could not get rid of it, despite falling into the hands of the enemy.Hence, she had to hide.But she could not hide them all, so he made such a character with all kinds of temperament.After Gwyneth came out, Paul nodded approvingly.The first scene was played by Lyla.This was a flight play. A middle-aged actress would be running the lines with them. The captur

    Although he didn’t know why Vines chose Priscilla, who had never starred in any works, instead of so many experienced actresses, to play the heroine, he knew what kind of person she was.It was easy for Priscilla to get such opportunities with the dirty deal, but she had never done it. This time, it was just an unknown web series, and naturally, it was impossible for her to do that.Priscilla sat there and said lazily, “I’m good. I eat and sleep well. What’s wrong? Are you worried about me?”“Of course, no matter what, you are my sister after all. Our blood relationship can’t be changed. Since such a thing happened to you, of course, I will care about you.”With a fake smile on her face, Priscilla looked at Regina and said, “Thank you very much, but don’t worry. I’ve already asked someone to investigate this matter. I believe the result will be revealed soon.”Regina raised her eyebrows.“That’s good. Since you’re innocent, I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible and prov

    Vines was shocked!His pupils dilated and he asked angrily, “Who is it?”Priscilla looked at him and wore a mocking smile, “Regina.”Vines was surprised, “W-What?”Not only he, but anyone in their set must be surprised to hear this answer.It’s not that he didn’t think Regina could do this, but that this didn’t do her any good.As was known to all, because of the scandal, Regina’s career seemed to be on a downward trajectory. She seldom had the chance to appear in any dramas.To make a successful comeback, she spent a lot of effort and finally got the chance to play the lead in this drama. She would try her best not to let the audience down.Because of this, the drama was particularly important for her.If something bad happened to both the director and the leading roles, the shooting would certainly be affected. If it became serious, the drama might not even get the chance to go on air.Then she would be affected since she also starred in this drama.So, why had she done this?To make

    “Wait!”Priscilla frowned.A wave of nausea swept over her. She violently shook off his hand, took two steps back, and looked at him coldly.Ryan’s hand froze in mid-air.He was stunned. He found Priscilla didn’t look well. She took a silk handkerchief out from her bag wiped the wrist he had just held and then threw the handkerchief in the nearby trash bin.“Don’t touch me! Just say what you want to say!”Ryan felt his throat blocked and suddenly had a particularly uncomfortable feeling.He felt that his heart was covered by something. It was stuffy, but it didn’t hurt very much. He just couldn’t say anything.He pursed his lips. After several seconds, he said softly, “Okay, then I’ll come to the point.”Priscilla appeared very calm and wasn’t willing to give him a look.Although Ryan felt uncomfortable in his heart, he also knew that everything now was the fruit of his actions. He couldn’t say anything to defend himself.So, he said directly, “I went to Spark Land a few days ago.”Pr

    “Yes. We have seen you two lovey-dovey several times after we got here. Please take more care of us as we are still single.”“Are you just going to be so lovey-dovey every day? You fall in deep love with each other. When will you get married?”Regina smiled and looked at Ryan.Ryan looked at the person who asked the question and smiled faintly.“Soon. I’m going to formally propose marriage to her family and then get married after her part is finished.”Hearing his answer, these people became more surprised.Then they even directly gathered around them and asked about their marriage.Seeing this, Priscilla lowered her head. She curled her lips slightly and then went into the room.Not far away, Ryan had seen her. When he glanced at her and found she had gone back into her room, he felt his heart aching.Someone pulled him and said, “Mr. Smith, since you are getting married to Regina, and we and she are also friends who have shot a drama together, so don’t forget to invite us when you g

    Her fan base was too small to exert a large influence on the Internet, so no one noticed they had set up a fan club.Priscilla was quite happy to be recognized by them.She chatted with that Like-A-Fantasy for a while before she logged off. Then she put away her phone and headed to the set.When Priscilla arrived at the set, Regina saw her and immediately walked over.Regina looked sullen, so Portia subconsciously stood in front of Priscilla to protect her.Seeing that, Regina looked gloomier, but she stopped. “Where is Rosy? Where have you taken her?”Priscilla raised her eyebrows. There was a hint of mockery in her cold and indifferent eyes. “Isn’t Rosy your assistant? If your assistant is missing. Does it have anything to do with me?”Hearing that, Regina was fuming with anger.“Stop acting. If you hadn’t taken her away, I would have found her!”Priscilla sneered, “You said that I took Rosy away. Do you have any evidence?”Regina was at a loss.When Portia took Rosy away, they were

    In Priscilla’s view, it was simply inhuman!The best food was not from Michelin-starred restaurants but from a street food stall.Frederick wouldn’t agree with her. In his opinion, the snacks were junk food.How could his wife have such dirty food?Priscilla didn’t bother to argue with him and followed his advice. Now that she was on the set and Fredrick was not here, she could eat whatever she wanted.She felt wonderful after being full and felt Rosy pleasing to the eye.She ate too much. Instead of sitting down, she stood by the window with a glass of water, with one elbow on the railing idly.She looked at Rosy and asked, “Do you want to say it or not?”Rosy pursed her lips without a word.Priscilla’s gaze turned cold, “Do you think that I have no way if you don’t say it?”Rosy kept silent.Priscilla sneered, “Regina got something on you. Have you ever thought about it? If I call the police, I will be arrested and imprisoned for at least half a year. If you are in prison, what shou

    A few minutes later, Portia came back, utterly confused.“I don’t get it, why’d you let her go? She had that server drug you! Regina must be behind this! If she’d only speak, we’ve had proof to use against your evil sister!”Priscilla chuckled. She took a look at the time. It was getting late. Time to get back to shooting. As she walked out, she said, “She wouldn’t stay and testify for us if we kept her here, so what’s the point?”Puffing up, Portia glared at her, “But still you shouldn’t let go of her so easily. As long as you want, I can let her tell the truth by all means.” Priscilla turned her gaze at Portia worriedly.“Portia, calm down!”Priscilla knew that Portia was not just some ordinary bodyguard.She had never seen a bodyguard as agile and good at fighting as Portia before.Fredrick let Portia protect his wife to ensure she was safe and sound. It could be concluded that the lady bodyguard must have some strengths.Seeing Priscilla’s look, Portia was somewhat annoyed and sc

    “Didn’t Regina win the best actress? Why is she this crappy? I heard the character should be a strong and tough woman originally. Even though she’s now a deposed Empress, and she can’t show that strong side too much if she wants to live, that performance was way too weak!”“Yeah, I read about this character when they introduced her with the script. And her crying is way too fake! Not even a tear.”“Is that all a movie star is capable of these days? If that’s the case, I feel like I could be a movie star.”“Please! Movie star? More like a trash actress!”“What are you talking about? Regina got her award with ability. You just sound like you’re jealous!”“Ability? Give me a break! I’m not buying any of it.”“Yes, everyone knows what happened when they were electing for the awards. She’d been about a hundred thousand votes away from first place in the last thirty seconds, but then she got all hundred thousand votes within those thirty seconds. Heh, they said the votes were calculated by

    “Cut!”Vines’ voice rang out again.He tamped down on his annoyance and said to Regina, “The emotions were wrong there. Remember, you might be the former Empress, but you still need to have some backbone when facing your hated rival who deposed you! That was too weak, you looked like a handmaiden. I need more strength on your temperament, got it?”Regina’s face grew sour.But she still nodded.“Take three!”“You’re lower than a Dog in the gutter at this point. What makes you think I’d show any interest in such a pitiful creature?”“If you’re not interested, then why show up here today?!” Regina yelled.“Cut!”Annoyed, Vines stood up from behind the camera, pointed at Regina and said, “What are you thinking going so hard up against the new Empress? You’ve been deposed and you’re defenceless. She can strangle you to death at a thought; are you trying to get yourself killed speaking to her like this?”Regina’s expression sank completely.She couldn’t hold it back and retorted, “You told
