The staff member was shocked and asked, “Why isn’t the filming done in Dorywood? We can hire famous actors from Zlokova, like the one that Mr. Boucher did.”Donny shook his head. “This is different. I wanted to shoot in the Kong Ports because it has a very strong vintage look and mysterious vibes. Those are the effects that I’m trying to achieve, and the main focus is on the mystery of the NPC’s suicide and the memories that return to the other characters after they’re no longer drunk.”The crew whispered among each other and seemed to be accepting his idea. Norman crossed his fingers, rested his chin on them, and then smiled. “I think your suggestion is great because the script contains many vintage styles, like the printing press, the hanging calendar in the victim's home, the radio, and so on. If we don’t use it as the background in the scenes, it will lose the mysterious vibes of the story.”After that, he looked toward Freyja. “Ms. Pruitt also hopes that her script will be pe
Freyja leaned in close to the screen. “I should let her remember this face then.”“She can remember it when you’re here.” Colton looked down at Charm. “Right? My baby? Don’t listen to your mom trying to trick us.”She smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll be there with you in less than a year.”Colton looked at her. “We’ll be here waiting.”“By the way, how’s Deedee?”“She’s good. Ever since she started spending time with Beatrice, she has become much happier and made many friends. She even went to a dance class with Beatrice.”Freyja smiled. “I guess Beatrice plays a big part in her change. I need to bring presents for both of them when I return.”“What about my present?”“I’m your present.”Colton covered Charm’s ears and leaned close to the screen. “Do I get to unwrap you?”“You wish.”After Freyja said that, she ended the call. Colton was left hanging. He looked down at Charm and tapped the tip of her nose. “Your mommy keeps bullying me. I need to teach her a lesson when she retu
Cameron’s words rendered everyone there speechless. Her arrogance wasn’t expected.Waylon chuckled and raised his hand to touch Cameron’s hair. “Are you angry?”“I offended someone, and it was because of some woman. How could I not be angry?”Cameron pushed his hand away and pointed at the men. “Tell me, what else did Ms. Woods say to you? What did I do to her? I’ll tear your lips off your face if you can't do that.”“How… could you be so unreasonable?”They finally witnessed her arrogance. “I’ve always been unreasonable, and I even prefer letting my knuckles speak. Do you want to give it a try?”She made it evident that she was challenging them.The men looked at Waylon. She was his wife, so they couldn’t just start fighting her. Waylon calmly said, “Why don’t you do as she says since you have opinions about her?”“What are you…”Was he telling them to fight a woman?Cameron raised her brows and smiled. “Even Master Wayne has spoken, so what’s wrong? Are you afraid?”“W
Evelyn was bewildered. ‘H-How was that possible?’Cameron rubbed her wrist. “I’ve trained in martial arts since I was a kid. I had tough physical training in school and the army and have fought with countless people, a lot of good ones too. I’ve learned from them and used their skills during the fight, so it would be impossible for you to win just by your brute strength. You could only do it with speed and cooperation.”The few men stood up. She had managed to deal with the strong attacks of several people by herself, and the speed of her moves was faster than their eyes, completely catching them off guard.They were impressed by her abilities. That was why Waylon had agreed to let them fight. He knew that they weren’t able to fight her.The leader of the bunch apologised, and the others followed. “Ms. Woods, there’s no need to hide anymore. Come out. I saw you,” shouted Cameron. Everyone turned around. Evelyn shuddered. ‘How did she see me?’She awkwardly smiled and walked
Waylon smiled sadly. “Helping you doesn’t mean anything. In that situation, I would have helped even if it was some other girl. As for letting you stay by my side, you said you wanted to thank me. Did I ever agree to it? You kept following us around.”His words struck her so hard because it sounded as if her feelings had just been a joke. “No… No way.”Evelyn didn’t want to accept that. “You lied. You thought I was special, so you treated me differently. Why didn’t you stop me when Morrison brought me to join the Night Banquet then?”How would she have gotten into the Night Banquet if he didn't find her special?Waylon rubbed his temple. “Because Morrison was friends with you, and I wanted to make you a couple. Of course I wouldn’t stop him.”Evelyn was overwhelmed. Waylon had never done anything for her, and it was all one-sided. She had been under the impression that she was special to him. Even if he rejected her confession, she still believed that only she could get into
Step after step, Waylon approached Evelyn with an indifferent smile. “The main reason for your downfall is your poor acting skills. Do you really think real criminals will give you a chance to call for help?”Evelyn dropped to the ground. She looked at Waylon and grabbed his hand. “I’m sorry, Willy. I shouldn’t have done that. Please forgive me…”Waylon pulled his hand out of her grasp and looked at her coldly. “I'm banning you from the Night Banquet from now on. If I hear you make any more rumors about anything else, I'll come after you.”After that, he turned to Cameron, wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and went back into the house.The members from the Night Banquet looked at Evelyn and shook their heads. Apparently, they were wrong about Evelyn. All of them ignored Evelyn, who was sitting on the ground, and left as well.Inside the villa…Waylon carried Cameron to the couch. He picked up her hand and examined the bruises on her knuckles that she had gotten when she f
Just when Leah was about to say something, Morrison raised his hand to stop her and continued. “Alright, you don’t have to say anything. You only live once, so you need to cherish your own life.“I can introduce some good men to you if you want. All of them have good family backgrounds and good looks. I’m sure you’ll find one that you like. Of course, if you don’t like men from Stoslo, I can find someone for you from Bassburgh.”Leah smiled awkwardly. “Umm… Thank you for your advice.” “Don’t mention it. We’re friends, after all. Give me two days. I’ll compile the profile of all good men in Bassburgh for you to choose from.” Two days later, Morrison presented Leah with the profile of some unmarried rich young men in Bassburgh.The corner of Leah’s lips twitched as she looked at Morrison, who sat on the couch opposite her. “Where did you get these from?”“Dating agency,” Morrison replied matter-of-factly. “According to them, all of these young men come from wealthy families, and
It was just that no one expected Donny would let Freyja decide who would play the protagonist roles. Freyja felt slightly stressed as she did not want to let Donny down by picking the wrong candidates.She was not very good at selecting characters, so she figured that she needed Daisie's help.Freyja came to Blue Valley Manor and let Daisie have a look at the script. “Daisie, you’ve got to help me this time. I’m scared I’ll ruin Mr. Winslow’s movie if I make the wrong decision. I need to get it done as soon as possible so it won’t affect the shooting time.”Daisie looked at her and chuckled. “There’s still an audition session, right? Besides, you still have about six months left. I’m sure it’ll be enough.”“Yes, it's enough, but not everyone is free at all times. I'm just worried the actor won't be able to commit to the project if some unexpected event happens. Besides, I need to go back to my country for the audition in a month. I need to pick two candidates from so many actors. T
“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. Accompanied b
“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
