The next morning…After Daisie woke up, she went downstairs and was welcomed by the fragrance of fried eggs.Nollace was standing in the kitchen. While he was transferring the eggs from the pan to the plate, a pair of arms hugged him from the back.He was stunned for a moment and then turned his head around and smiled. “Morning.” She leaned against his broad back, feeling his body warmth. “Morning.”He said gently, “Go get yourself cleaned. Breakfast is ready.”Daisie went upstairs to clean herself up. After changing into a set of new clothes, she went downstairs again. Nollace had already served all of the dishes on the table. There was porridge, a few slices of bread, ham, and a sunny side up.She pulled the chair and sat down. Feeling a little bit embarrassed, she said, “Nolly, actually, you don’t have to wake up so early every day to prepare breakfast for me. I can do it myself.”He chuckled and pushed the porridge to her. “It’s okay. I enjoy preparing breakfast for you.”
“Mitchell from Zestar is looking for my identity. I think he wants to get back on his feet by selling my information to the media, but I can't come forward and settle the problem.”The chairman understood what Nollace wanted. “So, you want me to help you settle this problem?”He nodded. “You’re the chairman of Tenet Media, and you’re considered an influential figure in the entertainment industry. You're the best candidate to step in and solve this problem, and…”He paused for a few seconds and rhythmically tapped on the mirror's side. “If Mitchell manages to get back on his feet through the media, it’ll also affect Tenet Media. After all, I’m the one who exposed the scandal between him and Susan. Besides, I am a shareholder of Tenet, and the public might not be happy when they learn about it.”The chairman knew what he was talking about.Mitchell had bullied Daisie while shooting the film together. Initially, it was just a small matter, but after the incident went out of hand and
Susan did not want to wait until her contract expired. This was because it would be too late, and she wouldn't have any chance anymore if she returned to the entertainment industry at that time.She did not have a good family background like Daisie did. She had to rely on herself to get the things she wanted, so now that there was a chance in front of her, she had to grab it.“Alright. I’ll help you.”Mitchell stretched his arm forward and put it above her hand. Then, he said meaningfully, “I’ve already helped you, Susan. It’s time for you to help me back.”When Susan saw that he still wanted to take advantage of her when she was at the bottom of the barrel, she felt disgusted. However, she had to hold back her anger as she still needed him.…Charlie handed the script of the variety show to Daisie.Daisie took it, flipped through it, and then she was stunned. “What is this?”Charlie said, “Our chairman wants you to participate in this variety show. Right now, all media outlets
Just when Freyja was about to say something, her phone rang.She pulled her phone out, and she was stunned.It was Colton.Daisie glanced at her phone and smiled. “Well, speak of the devil.” Freyja went outside of the office to answer the phone. Daisie knew that Freyja wouldn’t dare to answer the phone in front of her, so she did not follow after her. When she turned around, she accidentally knocked the purse off the table.When she squatted down to pick the purse from the floor, a box of contraceptive pills fell out of the purse.Daisie picked the box of pills up and was stunned.Freyja returned to the office after finishing the call. She saw that Daisie was reading her script behind the table, so she did not disturb her. Daisie looked at Freyja. She was busy working in front of her computer. When the box of pills came into her mind, she pressed her lips tightly.She wanted to ask Freyja about it, but she couldn’t muster enough strength to ask the question. Perhaps she an
Nollace paused for a split second and frowned. “She’s taking pills?”Daisie lowered her gaze. “It should be because Colton and Freyja don’t want a baby just yet. That’s why she’s taking those pills.”Nollace stared at her.‘This silly girl is really too innocent and simple when it comes to this aspect of life. I'd love to enlighten her right here if it weren’t because it’s not the right time now.’He gently rubbed the tip of her nose. “Dummy, taking those pills is very harmful to a woman’s body, and it’ll leave a great impact on a woman’s fertility in the future. If Colton cares about Freyja, he’ll definitely not allow her to take pills.”Daisie was dumbfounded. “Could it be that Freyja is secretly taking them without letting Colton know about it?”Nollace nodded. “Probably so.”Late at night, Nollace stood behind the French windows, starting over the dark and quiet courtyard.He glanced down at the text message on the screen of his phone.[Sorry, Mr. Knowles, we haven’t found
Daisie burst into laughter and played the video recording that she recorded on her phone to Susan. “I wonder what Mitchell will think when he sees this?”Susan’s expression changed instantly, and she rushed forward to snatch the phone.Daisie stepped back and put her hands behind her back.Susan threw herself into nothing and growled unwillingly, “Daisie Vanderbilt! How could you treat me like this? I’ve already begged you in such a manner! What do you want from me!?”Daisie took back the phone and glanced at her. “Are you really begging me? You’re only forced to beg me because I caught you in the act, isn’t that right?”Susan’s eyes turned bloodshot. “What’s the difference? Daisie Vanderbilt, I’ve been shelved by Zestar and have reached this point in my life. What else do you want me to do?”“Yeah, you’ve reached this point, but you still refuse to stop.” Daisie laughed. “Then why should I do as you wish?”She walked to the desk and called the front desk on the landline. Susan’
Freyja pushed him away and went out in a fit of anger. “I didn’t expect you to make me breakfast either.”Colton watched as she left the room, and his gaze immediately shifted back onto the drawer.Freyja went downstairs and was astonished when she saw the breakfast that had been prepared on the dining table.She really did not expect Colton to make breakfast for her, but she did not expect that he would actually do it.‘This fella, apart from having an irritating mouth, everything else is fine with him.’Colton walked downstairs unhurriedly and stared at the person eating breakfast in the living room with a slightly complicated expression.‘She didn’t take the pills because she’s sick. She’s taking them for contraceptive purposes.‘Even though I don’t plan to have any children just yet, it would not be unacceptable to me if an accident were to happen. However, is she so resistant to bearing a baby for me?’Freyja saw him standing in place, looking a little bothered, paused for
The program recording started, and Daisie sat on the stage, responding fluently to all kinds of questions the host asked her.Sure enough, her husband was something that would definitely be brought up.However, Daisie answered the question with a smile, “I’ve known him since I was a kid.”The host was surprised. “So, are you two childhood sweethearts?”Daisie responded calmly, “That’s right, but we were separated for a long time until we met again back then.”The host continued to ask, “Then did you get married because it’s a marriage arranged by both families, or is it because of your personal feelings for each other?”Daisie chuckled. “It’s not an arranged marriage. It’s just our personal feelings.”The host added, “Since you’re married officially and legally, why didn’t you choose to make it public? Are you worried that it’ll affect his personal life?”Daisie laughed and teased. “Because my husband is just way too brilliant to be real, I don’t want to get him exposed. Otherw
