Keegan was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, “Clara, you’re still so busy with your school matters, so how would you have time to join the company? We should at least wait until you’re close to your graduation before we discuss this. It’s still too early now.”Clara had long expected such an answer.However, she was not discouraged. She still put on a good-natured and understanding tone as she said thoughtfully, “Dad, isn’t it all because I feel that you’re working too hard? So, I was wondering if there was anything that I could help you with.”“What can you do for me as a young girl?” Keegan smiled and shook his head. However, in the next moment, he suddenly thought of something. He had an austere expression as he said, “Clara, there’s indeed something that I might need your help with.”“What is it?”“I recently invested a lot of money in a large-scale amusement park project. However, the amusement park is still under construction, and I cannot turn our funds around. I w
She was just taking back what she deserved now!What was wrong with that?As Clara was plotting, she suddenly heard the sound of a car outside the villa. After a few seconds, the maid at the door shouted, “Young Master Jaime, you’re back?”When Jaime stepped into the villa, he saw Clara and Keegan on the sofa. He went upstairs to his study room after greeting them. Keegan had long gotten accustomed to his eldest son’s cold and aloof attitude toward everyone, but today was different. He called out to Jaime and instructed, “Jaime, take your sister to the company one of these days so that she can familiarize herself with the environment in advance.”“What do you mean?” Jaime stopped in his tracks, and a sharp light reflected under his lens as he asked, “Dad, you’re going to arrange for Clara to enter the company?”“Yes, that’s right. Is there a problem?” Keegan felt very comfortable because Clara was massaging his shoulders. He narrowed his eyes and replied rightfully, “Clara is
Clara could see that Keegan was wavering. As such, before Keegan could say anything, she spoke up and said, “Dad, Jaime has a point. Let’s hold off on these things and take it slow. I know that you love me, but you have to take Jaime’s thoughts into consideration too, right?”These words were very smart and well-spoken. They showed that she was understanding, sensible, and well-behaved. She was also making a jab at Jaime by calling him selfish and petty.Sure enough, Keegan’s face fell. He glared at Jaime with dissatisfaction, then patted the back of Clara’s hand and said with great relief, “Don’t worry, Clara. Dad will always back you up and support you. I’ll definitely make sure that you get married in style when the day comes for you to marry Quentin!”The implication was that the promise that he had made at the beginning was still valid, and he would still give her 40% of the family’s assets as her dowry.Clara smiled and said sweetly, “Thank you, Dad. I’ll listen to you.”“Cl
Over the years, if there was anyone else who would respond to all of her requests, it would have to be Henry.Clara squeezed her cell phone tightly and pretended to sob a little as she said with an extremely pitiful look, “Uncle Carswell, you have to help me.”“What’s wrong, Clara? Did someone bully you?” Henry, who was on the other end of the line dropped everything that he had on hand and said anxiously, “Don’t cry, Clara. Just tell me if there’s anything you need. I’ll definitely help you to get it done!”Clara pretended to sob a few times before she said, “Uncle Carswell, I want you to help me to arrange someone for me. I want a woman who’s beautiful but can be easily manipulated. Uncle Carswell, you should also know that although I was adopted by the Lang family, they have never treated me as one of their own for so many years. “I cannot even decide on my own marriage now. So, I thought that if I could get my adoptive father to get a wife, I could get her to help intercede on
The woman was less than forty years old. She had a good figure, and her gestures were full of the elegance and sensuality of a mature and intellectual woman. She looked graceful and dignified. Keegan was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously handed the silk scarf in his hand back to her. “Here.”“Thank you.” The woman smiled at him, took the silk scarf, and turned away.Keegan was still standing on the same spot.It was only when the woman’s figure had disappeared completely that Keegan came back to his senses from the romantic encounter just now. He suddenly remembered what Clara had said to him before he went out earlier. She said that it was time for him to find another wife at this age. He did not think about it when Clara mentioned it before, but Keegan’s heart was stirred at this moment. It would be nice to have a beautiful woman around to keep him warm. Keegan smiled, then got into the car and left.At this moment, the woman who was playing with the green silk
Sienna only turned around and was about to return to the villa when the taillights of Lady Scott’s car could no longer be seen.Unexpectedly, Harry was looking at her, and he was leaning against the door frame of the villa.The man’s hands were in his pockets. He obviously knew what kind of mistake Sienna had just made, but he did not seem to have the slightest sense of self-consciousness to explain things. Instead, he smiled and said playfully, “Nene, I can’t keep my innocence this time.”Did he still dare to say that?Sienna did not smile as she reminded him, “You’ve already lost your innocence at the old mansion that night. It’s just another extra layer this time, so there’s not much difference.”She was referring to the night of the engagement banquet when Lady Scott locked the both of them in the same room. A lone man and woman would never be able to say or do anything to clear their name when they had been locked in the same room.When Harry heard these words, his dark an
Sienna had also seen the video.It was specially sent to her by Monki, who was extremely excited as he said, “Boss, look! Although we’re being scolded badly, the number of people who have come to try out the experiences has doubled. I estimate that we’ll have to stay up all night!”Since this news started causing a commotion, Monki, Hunter, and the others decided to take advantage of this popularity to keep the Universal Atrium open. The big deal was that they would have to take shifts to rest. They would have to open a 24-hour business model to attract enough experiencers to come!Sienna rejected this idea directly. “No. Just open according to our original time. Ten o’clock in the morning to ten o’clock at night is enough. You don’t have to stay up all night.”Although this video was currently very popular, there were still far more scolding than praises. Even though Professor Lawrence and his group of students had experienced it personally, and even though the video from the
However, the original owner did not seem to have gotten a driving license. Sienna was silent for a moment. After that, she took out her cell phone, looked for a driving school on the internet, and then signed up for a special training class. According to the driving school’s introduction, she would be able to quickly learn all driving skills in a few days. Most importantly, the timeframe for her to get the driving license was short.To be honest, she was just going for the last item.After paying the registration fee on her cell phone, Sienna raised her head and saw that the school gate was one hundred meters away. As such, she said, “Okay, you can just stop here.”When Kai heard this, he slowly slowed down the car. He was only more than a hundred meters away. When the car stopped completely, they were already at the main entrance of the school.“Thank you.”Sienna grabbed the backpack in her hand, raised her foot, and got out of the car.Even though she moved quickly, the luxu
The wind blew, and there were wrinkles in the lake.Her heart was also in turmoil.Sienna looked away. Of course, she did not really mean to leave, not to mention, the things that she brought with her had not come in handy yet.Sienna broke away from Harry’s grip, then walked to the group of rocks where she had just sat down and picked up a bag on the ground which contained more than a dozen hand-folded paper cranes.There was a small candle on top of the paper cranes, and a paper-folded disc was placed underneath. The candles could be lit and then placed in the water. Sienna took out a lighter, lit a few, then put them in the water. After that, she looked at Harry, raised her brows, and said, “Here, want to do it together?”Harry sat down beside her. He looked at the delicate paper crane in his hand, then thought for a moment and asked, “Did you fold all these?” “Yes.” Sienna looked at the faint candlelight on the water and said slowly, “When I was young at about the age of e
Eagor was immediately excited. It flew twice around Sienna before returning to its nest.By a lake, a few kilometers away from Lang Garden.Harry’s eyelashes were half drooping under the moonlight. His thick eyelashes cast a layer of shadow on his eyelids, and his handsome face looked extremely secretive. It seemed as if he was covered with a layer of fog which was light and stunning, but it was impossible to see him clearly. Sienna sat down next to him.This was a group of rocks, which was cold and uncomfortable.But that was not the point. The point was that she was here.A trace of surprise flashed across Harry’s eyes, and there was also a certain emotion on his usually calm and unperturbed face as he asked, “Why are you here?” Sienna looked at the lake in front of her, raised her eyes, and said, “I can’t let you enjoy such beautiful scenery alone.”Under the moonlight, there were layers of mountains and rivers in front of them, and the neatly planted pines and cypresses s
Sienna paused for a moment and subconsciously replied, “Aren’t we going to Scott Mansion to see Lady Scott tomorrow?” “We are going to Scott Mansion to see my grandmother tomorrow. Just accompany me tonight, okay?”The corners of Harry’s mouth curled into a shallow arc, and the clear aura around his body dispersed. He was extremely gentle. “Okay?”Sienna keenly felt that Harry’s speech at the moment was different from usual, but she could not tell what the difference was. After a brief moment of hesitation, she declined, “It’s already very late. Let’s rest early.”“Okay.”Harry got up. He was still smiling as he said, “Goodnight, then.”He then left.The dining room instantly became quiet, and Harry’s invisible charming aura gradually dissipated. The crystal lamp above Sienna’s head did not move and was emitting a warm glow.Sienna wiped her mouth, then got up and left the dining room.When she was about to go upstairs to her room to rest, she inadvertently heard someone
‘At this time, an elderly pretty boy lost the light in his eyes.’‘The person who left the comment above should compensate me! You caused me to drop my mask because I laughed!’When the production team saw that the effect was so good, they decided to let Keegan move around in the virtual world longer before letting him down.It so happened that the live broadcast time was too short, and the viewers were reluctant to leave the live broadcast room because of the high popularity and the heated discussions. As such, they simply made Keegan perform a 360-degree spin!…When Sienna returned to Lang Garden, she received the income from this live broadcast. With Harry’s crazy reward and the accumulation of countless gift rewards that she had received from hundreds of millions of viewers, Sienna made quite a considerable income.In addition, this live broadcast was a great success. It had great popularity, and the Universal Atrium would also get a huge share of the profit.Sienna was sat
Quentin was stunned for a moment. He could not bear it, and he immediately stepped forward and carried Clara, then walked out without saying a word.After he left, Christina, who had been watching this scene, sneered and said, “Pfft, she’s really good at putting on an act. Clara is really a master when it comes to manipulating men.”The live recording stopped here.This was probably the shortest episode of the live broadcast of the large-scale reality variety program, Ninja Survival, and it was probably the most thought-provoking episode.Quentin brought Clara to the hospital.Hank went home with lingering fears.The other guests who also ‘died’ also dispersed in groups of twos and threes. Jonas tried to speak to Sienna, but Sienna ignored him several times. In the end, he could only bow his head and leave in frustration. The live broadcast this time was extremely popular, and many media and reporters were gathered at the entrance of the Universal Atrium.They flocked up fra
Jonas suddenly came to his senses. He let go of Clara’s hand and ran wildly in the direction of the mountain and forest!He would only be facing death if he were to go there in the face of such raging flames. It was even more likely that he would not be able to find Sienna anywhere.But he went anyway.Hank, who was on the beach, had sobered up and was witnessing everything that had just happened. When he looked at Jonas’s back, he mocked, “At least, he still has a conscience.”But at this moment, a person fell down from the mountain wall.She was covered in blood and bruises. It was Sienna.Jonas glanced at her inadvertently. The moment he saw Sienna, he stopped in time, ran over, and asked, “Sienna, how did you get hurt so badly?” Sienna pointed at the high mountain wall and said indifferently, “It’s good enough that I survived.” Hank gulped and made a bold assumption, “Sienna, you… you didn’t rock-climb all the way down, did you?”“Yes.” Sienna nodded lightly. When Ha
In Clara’s eyes, as long as she cried and acted coquettishly, everything would be over just like that.It was just like every other time in the past. However, what she did not expect was that Jonas, who was watching her cry, was indifferent as he asked her a question in a tone that was so calm that it seemed almost unfamiliar to her. “Clara, did you really take care of me?”“…” Clara’s face was instantly pale. When Jonas was unconscious, she was busy being intimate with Quentin in order to enhance and strengthen her relationship with him.Clara said that she took care of him, but in fact, she had only been sitting next to him. Moreover, she was not the first to find out that he was down with a high fever. “Jonas…”Clara wanted to explain, but Jonas interrupted her indifferently, “Clara, I was still conscious even when I was unconscious.”Because he was conscious, he knew of Clara’s indifference and contempt for him; because he was conscious, he knew that Clara and Quentin
Christina was already waiting for him. When she saw that Quentin had opened his eyes, she walked forward with a smile and described everything that happened when he was unconscious to him in great detail.Christina was afraid that Quentin would not believe her, so she deliberately borrowed the staff’s cell phone to view the archive of each time period of the live broadcast. “Quentin, come here and take a look.”…In the virtual world, not long after Jonas had carried Hank ashore, he heard a second explosion in the forest!He suddenly raised his head and looked toward the cliff. His heartbeat quickened in an instant, and his mind even went blank.He escaped, but what about Sienna?There was only one parachute cloth. He landed successfully with Hank, but what about Sienna?Jonas raised his head, and his eyes suddenly flushed red in an instant. He originally thought that Sienna was urging him to jump down because she wanted to do an experiment. As such, he never thought that he
‘It is a fact that Clara didn’t hesitate to push Jonas from behind so that she could escape when they encountered the red fire ants before. Is this also considered right? Doesn’t this give you chills or make you feel scared? ‘Let me ask you, what will you feel when you’re facing the person that you’re desperately trying to protect and she suddenly stretches out her hands to push you to your death? Can you still empathize with her then? Can you still praise her for being kind? I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.’When the super fan was done speaking, the live broadcast room was even more deadly silent.However, Clara did not know anything about this.When she was desperately running forward, the only thoughts in her mind were to escape as soon as possible, find rescue as soon as possible, and then go back alive…Although she liked Quentin and also wanted to marry into the Kane family and become the veritable young mistress of the Kane family, the premise was that she would have to sur
