"In this world, two things can never be grasped. One is time, and the other is a human's heart. If the other person's heart is no longer with you, no matter what you do to please them, their heart will never be yours. Why, then, should you spend so much energy doing something so futile? It's better to do a good job in your own business, improve yourself, and let yourself be the one who holds the initiative."Annie was caught off-guard, and the confusion in her eyes was replaced with admiration. "Aunt Corinne, what you said is so philosophical! I want to learn from you! Don't fret about men anymore and just focus on your career!"Corinne pinched her glabella, fearing that Annie would get the wrong idea and thus patiently explained, "That's not the case. It's good to fall in love and enrich your emotional life, but remember to never surrender yourself easily, let alone entrust your future to a man, wronging yourself to please a man. Understand?"Annie nodded, feeling wholly inspired.
Lunar Century Manor.Hastily, Annie gave her car keys to the valet to park her car so she could film Corinne with her phone."Aren't you supposed to take a video of yourself to record your daily vlog?" Corinne felt rather helpless. "Why do you keep filming me instead?"Annie giggled. "That's because you're too pretty, and I just can't help myself!"She wanted to film Corinne getting out of the car, when she would then see Jeremy, and the entire process when Jeremy would confess to her. She wanted to make it into a short film that would impress everyone when she would post it on her social media account, wanting everyone to be jealous of them.Corinne was at a loss for words at Annie's behavior. She massaged her glabella to ease the tension she felt before she decided to ignore Annie and walked into the manor by herself.To enter the manor, people were required to walk past an arch embellished with Moonstones. After she walked past it, a breeze blew at her, carrying a rather fragr
Paper confetti flew and scattered on the floor as a thin, well-dressed young woman jumped out of the box with colorful butterflies. The sight was surreal and magical.The girl ran toward Jeremy excitedly and buried herself in a hug fondly. "Jeremy, I'm finally back! Thank you for preparing this for me; I like it so much. It's so touching!"Corinne froze at the sight as her expression dulled. Suddenly, the butterflies she felt earlier…felt like a joke.Anya had come back.Every pink tulip in Lunar Century Manor was blooming for her. The reason Jeremy had asked her to come here was most likely to inform her that the apple of his eye had returned. Thus, she had to behave when she was acting as his wife to avoid causing misunderstandings with the girl he loved dearly. That must be it.She understood.For a moment there, she truly believed this day was all about her. She thought Jeremy was going to confess his love to her.Hilarious. The man told her that he could provide her with an
On the other side of the sky, a bright full moon hung in the sky as if the lively confessions had nothing to do with it.Corinne took out her phone and took a photo of the moon to post it to her social media.[The moon is so beautiful tonight.]Just a few seconds after it was posted, a friend with the nickname An liked the post. She even commented on the post, [Yeah. I think so, too.]Corinne never recalled having an acquaintance with that name in her account, so she clicked the profile.It was a girl smiling peacefully and cheerfully at the camera.She continued to look at the post the girl posted. From there, she concluded that this was Anya Rivera and her social media account.It was only then Corinne realized she was using Jeremy's phone, and the social media account logged into the phone was Jeremy's. She actually posted to Jeremy's social media account instead of hers.She did not think twice when she posted that and did not notice that was not her account.'Ugh, forget
Corinne's words did not comfort the blind elderly man, alas."Even if they have urgent matters to attend to, it's still wrong to park the car on the tactile paving. Nowadays, people are only concerned with their own conveniences and refuse to think if their actions will trouble others!"The blind elderly man did have a point.Corinne sighed and wanted to assist the blind elderly man to walk past the SUV when all of a sudden, someone shrieked, "Hey! What did you guys do?!"Corinne looked in the direction of the voice and spotted a young girl with purple hair running toward them angrily, holding a selfie stick.The girl saw the shattered window and immediately snapped crassly, "What the f*ck? The heck, you two! Why did you smash my car?"Corinne had seen this purple-haired girl when she sat at the embankment of Yonder River, and she figured the girl was an influencer.The purple-haired girl used the lavish confessions at Yonder River as a way to attract viewers by broadcasting the
"I'm not moving it! What are you going to do?" The purple-haired girl scanned Corinne arrogantly. It was then she realized Corinne was…very beautiful, and that only made her angrier.Nevertheless, she reckoned Corinne was not her match as she looked weak and timid.All of a sudden, she came out with an idea.She unlocked the phone on her selfie stick and went live, switching up so swiftly and portraying herself as an innocent victim while she complained to her viewers."Someone, please help me! I'm in danger! This old man and this girl here smashed my car without any reason, and now, this old man is lying on the ground, trying to scam me. You guys, look at how they're trying to bully me! Hic, hic…"She deliberately lowered the selfie stick so the angle was at a place where the viewers could not see her car was blocking the tactile paving.Corinne remained silent while the influencer refused to admit she was wrong. Anyhow, she helped the blind elderly man up and brought him to som
Corinne quickly readied herself as the purple-haired girl tried to attack them again. Her instincts kicked in, and she spread her arms to protect the blind elderly man behind her and was prepared to kick the girl again.All of a sudden, a group of men dressed in black appeared, surrounding Corinne and the blind elderly man. Two of the men quickly captured the crazy girl.Startled, the purple-haired influencer struggled while shouting at the top of her lungs, "Who are you people? Why are you capturing me?! Let me go!"The leader of the men shot the girl a cold glare before he turned to head toward his men. Respectfully, he bowed to the blind elderly man and said worriedly, "Sir, we finally found you. Are you alright? Why did you come out alone? The young master sent us out looking for you. He's worried sick."The blind elderly man snorted. "He has me locked up in the house every day. I just want to take a walk outside."The man felt helpless. "He's doing it for your good, especiall
The man looked up at Corinne, who stood beside his grandfather.She had a calm and indifferent expression on her face, a huge contrast when one compared her expression with the shocked expressions on the onlookers' faces. It seemed like she was in her own world.As a matter of fact, she did not look remotely shocked when she saw the man's outstanding appearance.Truth be told, Corinne thought of leaving when she knew the elderly man's family arrived, but she could not find a way out due to the men in black still surrounding them.The man nodded politely at Corinne. "Hello."Corinne nodded back. "Hello."She was no exception from the other girls when it came to judging a man's appearance. It was normal that she, too, thought the man in front of him looked very handsome, but at the same time, he looked dangerous.She had a feeling that despite his smile, the man was not genuinely happy or of any sort. In contrast to his handsome and friendly face, she felt like the man could turn
