“Hector, you’ve been doing well these years, huh? However, ever since you’ve succeeded in life, you’ve forgotten about your buddies.” The man wearing the thick, gold chain straightened Hector’s collar and grinned. His pregnant tone sounded like he was trying to hint to Hector something.

Hector grabbed his hands, removed them from his collar, and smiled. “You guys are doing quite well yourselves too.”

The man next to him took out a pack of cigarettes. “It’s obvious that we’re not doing as well as you are. All of us went to prison together back then, but your career is currently skyrocketing like a space shuttle.”

He took out one and handed it to Hector.

Hector did not take the cigarette from him. “I’ve quit smoking.”

The man inserted the cigarette in his mouth, took out a lighter, lit it, and took a puff. “Even Maverick can’t satisfy you now?”

“I’ve quit smoking, for real. It’s not that I don’t like it.” Hector lowered his gaze, smiled, lowered his head, and took a glimpse at his

    ‘They don’t care what they have to do. As long as they get to make quick money, whether the job is illegal or not doesn’t matter to them. They’re in it only for the money.’Hector was slightly startled.To be honest, he was a little surprised.‘She’s clearly heard a lot of things, but she’s not asking me about my relationship with them, and she hasn’t changed her impression of me. Instead, she’s trying to persuade me so that I won’t be fooled.’“You...” Hector glanced at the convenience store opposite the street. “Do you want something to drink?”She was astounded. “Anything will do.”Hector walked into the convenience store and bought two cans of juice. The two sat on the bench by the door of the store as the red neon signboard of the convenience store covered everything around them in red. Vehicles passed by one after another, and there were two or three tables of guests sitting in front of the small barbecue stall. One could almost smell the smell of the city coming from every

    “They’re adults, so I can understand anything as long as it’s consensual. However, Lucy has never been in love, so I’m afraid that she will disregard everything and do something that she’ll regret in the future when she’s in love. That’s why I’ve come to you to ask about them.”Elaine had said so much, but all she wanted to ask Maisie about was Hector’s personality. After all, they were developing at lightspeed, and Lucy was already not coming home at night. How could she not be worried about her?Maisie chuckled. “Ms. Xavier, don’t worry. My cousin isn’t someone who will take advantage of others. If he does something like that, I’ll be there to make sure he’ll be responsible for what he’s done.”“That’s good— Wait a minute! Hector’s your cousin!”‘Then doesn’t that mean he’s Mr. Goldmann’s cousin-in-law!?’…Lucy went to work, and the employee that passed by her smelled the strong smell of alcohol on her body, not to mention that she was still in the same clothes that she wore t

    To avoid offending anyone, Hector explained, “I heard that Ms. Cortez has replaced several makeup artists, so I think I may not be competent enough to serve under her.”Olivia replied with a smile, “This is different. I didn’t like the makeup that they put on me.”The deputy director nodded. “Liv has already made it clear, Hecky. I’ll leave it to you to think about it.”Hector left the office sullenly, and Olivia exited the office behind him. She followed him with a smirk and approached him. “Mr. Vanderbilt, you reek of alcohol. Do you like to drink?”Hector distanced himself from her. “I don’t like to drink. I only do so occasionally.”Her makeup was too showy, and her clothes looked very exaggerated and revealing. She wanted to create a sexy character setting, but she would put on anything that made her look sexy without any restraint and taste. Thus, once she took it a step too far, it would only make her look flashy and cheap instead of classy and sexy.However, Hector did no

    The man left after giving Hector a kind reminder.Hector froze in place as he was lost in thought.In the evening…Hector drove back to the Lakeview Apartment. He sat in the car and took a glance at the text message that popped up on the screen of his cell phone. It was a message from his past acquaintances, and they urged him to find them the “actress”.He read it but did not reply to the text.He returned to his residence to take a shower. When he came out of the bathroom in his nightgown, he rummaged through the refrigerator to find himself a can of Coke, sat down on the couch, and turned on his laptop.Upon hearing the doorbell ring, he put the Coke down, got up, and walked to open the door.Lucy was originally thinking about how she should start the conversation as she felt extremely guilty she had made Hector accompany her for one whole night because she had gotten drunk the previous night. She raised her head when the door was opened from the inside, and the first thing t

    “What do you mean?”Seeing that Hector was going to get to the bottom of it, Lucy covered her face. “Stop asking, I… Let me go home and calm down.”She immediately stood up but knocked her knee on the marble table, which made a loud noise, then vibrated. Hector put out his hand to hold her. “Be careful.”Lucy lost her balance and fell into his arms.She paused, then turned her face away because the face that was inches away made her stop breathing.It was an interesting moment, as if they were caught in a magnetic field.After snapping back to reality, Lucy immediately stood back up with her ears red, “I… I’m sorry!”She couldn’t care about the pain in her knee and wobbled away without looking back. When she got back next door, she closed the door and stood against the door, taking deep breaths, reminding herself to calm down. But her thumping heart was out of her control.Two days later…Olivia went to see Hector.Hector was just done with styling the other celebrities and

    The man was furious because people stood up to the company, but it was futile. And since there were artists who were as unethical as Olivia, it would be impossible for people not to be annoyed. However, since everyone on the board was from the same group, even if the employees spoke up about it, they would be able to cover it up and suppress the news. No one could contest against them, especially when it came to having resources. Hector looked at him. “What if I can?”That night, Hector arrived at the hotel for their date.Olivia opened the door in a black silk dress while swirling a glass of red wine. “Come in.”Hector walked in while she sat down on the couch and smiled at him seductively. “Do you know what coming to the hotel means?”Hector stood there calmly. “What else could it mean?”Olivia put the glass down with a smile, got up, and walked toward him. She then put her arms around his neck and was going to kiss him when he tilted his head to the side. “Are we in a hurry

    The man paused. “It means I’m your father.”Hector sent the man home on the way back, and by the time he was back at his apartment, it was around 11:00 p.m.He was covered in the scent of that woman, which repulsed him and made him shower twice.He returned to his bedroom, turned off the lights, and lay down. The neon lights outside his window shone in through his thin curtains and reflected on his ceiling.Hector lay on his hand, stared at the ceiling, and chuckled upon recalling something.The next day…When Lucy got out her door and saw the doors of the elevator closing, she rushed over. “Hold the doors!”She saw Hector when she squeezed through the doors and paused as she recalled what happened the other day. It was awkward to either ignore or speak to him.She squeezed a smile and stood next to him. “What a coincidence.”He looked at her. “It is.”Lucy snuck a peek at him. He was wearing a white shirt, which looked simple yet casual, giving him a fresh look.When she go

    Hector arrived at the office. Unsurprisingly, Olivia’s scandal had blown up, and everyone was talking about it. He placed his bag on the desk and listened in on the discussions with a light smile.A man walked toward him and patted his shoulder. “Hecky.”He turned and nodded. “Mr. Lewis.”Sean brought him to the corridor, which was quiet, and said, “You need to be careful. I just got the news that the deputy director will protect Olivia, and she definitely told on you. He’s probably going to speak to you soon.”Hector was calm when he heard that. “I know.”“Aren’t you worried?” Sean was surprised. He had framed Olivia and caused such a scandal. The executives had to find a way to cover it up, so someone would have to be a scapegoat. Olivia would definitely say that Hector had framed her, so he would be facing a lawsuit once the higher-ups made up their minds.Hector patted his shoulder. “Mr. Lewis, there’s no need to worry. I have a plan, but I need you to work with me.”“Hect

    “Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck

    In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie.

    “By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and

    Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for

    The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme

    “Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl

    Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo

    The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an

    The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
