"Our invitation card is absolutely genuine!" Cecilia was infuriated.How could Tina become so harsh all of a sudden?"Is that so?" Tina's lips curled into a disdainful smirk as she reached for Cecilia's invitation card. "Then prove it. Let's compare it with mine.""Sure!" Cecilia replied firmly, rea
Inside the Waterfront, the scenery was breathtaking. Sunlight streamed down, casting its golden glow upon the lush green grass all around.Along the path leading to the hotel ballroom, musical fountains accompanied by elegant melodies sprayed out graceful water columns.Everything felt just perfect.
It was Tina again. Linking arms with Wayne, she cast a mocking glance as they walked over to Sean.Sean remained expressionless. His cold and indifferent demeanor only angered Tina further."Sean, how should I describe you? You've been given a rare opportunity to socialize and meet some high-profile
Tina's expression froze instantly. Did Lindsay just say that Sean was her friend?Sean was taken aback too.He hadn't expected Lindsay to speak up for him. She appeared surprisingly righteous."Colonel Zinn, did you just say that the loser is your friend?" Tina raised her head, looking at Lindsay w
"Sean?"Wayne's eyes widened in surprise.After composing himself, he shook his head with a smile. "Come on. Colonel Zinn, don't joke around.""Exactly, there's no way it could be him!" Tina chimed in, her tone dripping with disdain. "Even if everyone in Skye City dropped dead, he still wouldn't sta
"Tina, Wayne, why are you two so excited?" Patricia looked at them with a puzzled expression on her face."How could we not be, Mom? Don't you know that Ms. Sutton decided to announce the candidates early after she realized that Wayne and I were being questioned?"Tina clenched her fists. Her heart
"Quickly, hold your breaths and hide your presence!" Amelia instructed in a low voice.Everyone suppressed their breaths and hid in the bushes.In the sky, a swoosh echoed, and tracking waves radiated through the air. Upon failing to detect the presence of any vital energy, they quickly left.After
"What? Did you say that Grandma and the others are here?" Selene's heart skipped a beat."Yes! Hide yourself!" Sean said urgently.Suddenly, they heard a swoosh, and before they could move a muscle, the sounds of wind breaking resounded in the forest. The strongest presence amongst them had already
"First time?" Startled, Sean then realized what she was speaking about and chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah, it was. What's the matter?""That explains it." Selene had a confident look on her face, as if she were now sure of something. "What do you mean?" Sean asked, puzzled."That explains why there's su

Selene moaned softly, gradually waking up.Sean took in a sharp breath and felt his scalp turning numb. This was bad! He hurriedly got up, wanting to clear up the scene.However, when he looked at the clothes strewn across the floor, he knew that it was too late to dress Selene and cover her body.
Sean's body tensed, his mind resonating with a thunderous roar.Before he could react, Selene's soft lips pressed firmly against his. Her tongue, sweet yet tentative, explored his mouth.In an instant, heat ignited within Sean like a wildfire. Unable to restrain himself any longer, he swiftly pushed
