Meanwhile, Jerome hugged Oscar and Oliver in distress, not blaming them at all. He even thought that they were the ones who were wronged. "Good heavens, how could this happen? Elizabeth, as I've kept warning you, Winnifred can't be trusted!" "Yes, she is your daughter and you trust her, but to her, my sons and I are outsiders. She would never care about us!" "My poor sons..." Arlo took the opportunity and said, "Mom, I too think that entrusting such an important matter to an outsider is somewhat biased. She said that Oscar and Oliver did something bad, but it might just be her putting on a show!" Milo didn't say a word, but he must be smiling inside. Elizabeth was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's end the matter here. Smith's Fashion Week is a major event of the Smith Group. Mistakes aren't allowed to be made. After this fashion week is over, Winnifred will step down and leave." The twins were discontented. They always felt that Elizabeth favored Winnifred and thought they
Smith's fashion show came to an end today and the guests left one after another, but Connie still sat in place, not moving. She held her position and stared blankly in the direction of the runway. Hilda went to sit beside Connie and nudged her gently. "Mom?" After nudging her a few times, Connie finally came back to her senses and replied, "Yes?" "Mom, let's go get something to eat." Linux said softly. Connie didn't reply. She got up and felt like her whole body was boneless. She had experienced countless despairs in her life, and this time, as always, she hated herself for not being capable enough to protect the ones she loved. "Let's go have a meal together." Alban said energetically. "The room and table have already been reserved. It will be my treat today." After saying that, he patted Connie on her shoulder. Teddy didn't let go of Connie's hand the whole time, as if he was already Connie's husband. He was enjoying holding onto her. "Come on, let's go together." Of course,
Shamayeta Das became infamous in both the fashion and entertainment industries after crashing the fashion week today while wearing a high quality counterfeit evening gown. Initially, she was nothing but a joke, so nobody expected her to gain traction due to the incident. On the contrary, she caught the attention of the director of DAB Group and she was confirmed as the spokesperson for the next season on the spot. At that moment, Shamayeta was wearing one of the unreleased pieces from the DAB Group's brand for its fall and winter collection. The attire made her look sweet and pretty while she radiated an exceptional aura. Hence, the media tried their best to fish for gossip that surrounded her and they came over to take photos of her. She cooperated without missing a beat and posed for them while working hard to promote the clothing line for Hilda. Although Vivian maintained her perfect smile while observing Shamayeta, who looked especially pleased with herself, the former was esp
Just after Hilda and her family left to catch a meal, Klaus's car drove out of the fashion week site. He had to return to continue to watch the show in the afternoon and he was even invited to attend Jerome and Elizabeth's engagement ceremony tonight. Therefore, he had a packed schedule for today. However, he did not enjoy watching fashion shows and only did it for work. He wanted to take the chance to discuss the marriage union between the Durrett and the Jordan's with Connie. The marriage was imperative. Both the families needed the union to keep the relationship alive. Besides, it was a promise from the previous generation and their elders urgently hoped that the two families would be connected via marriage. The best choice should have been the marriage between Connie and Teddy. Nevertheless, Connie seems uninterested and Hilda is already married. How about Valerie and Linux? Valerie is too wild while Linux is notoriously gay, so they would most probably not settle down. Furthe
Nathan was feeling troubled. His eyes widened in shock and he almost fainted the moment he caught sight of the doll when the blanket was removed in the video. Did she dig the dog hole in the kindergarten again? My baby is intelligent and it's difficult to raise children once they can move around on their own accord! He pretended to maintain a furious expression and refused to speak with Luna. On one hand, she knew that he was angry, so she glanced at him with pitiful eyes. Soon, tears streamed down her cheeks. "Daddy, it's my mistake. I won't dare to escape from the kindergarten in secret in the future.” Nathan maintained his fierce expression. "Did you know that because of you, both the kindergarten director and your mother were so worried that they were on the verge of tears? Have you thought about the consequences when you ran out of the kindergarten?" Hilda added from the side, "Look, even Daddy is angry. You must not run away in secret in the future, do you understand?" Both
Underneath the tablecloth, Sonnia noticed that everybody was behaving differently. Hilda had already removed her high heels in silence and allowed her small feet to rest after sustaining torture earlier. After scratching her right leg with her left, she quietly extended her feet on Nathan's lap before his large hands started to caress her beautiful legs in silk pantyhose. Huh! They seem serious on the surface. Who would have guessed that they are already caressing each other's legs in private? Then, Sonnia continued to crawl forward and spotted Valerie, who was sitting across from Kyle, slithering her feet from her high heels and actively rubbing his legs. Kyle repeatedly moved backward, but he could not afford to lose his temper because he was in a meeting with Connie and the representative from the Durrett Family. Hence, Kyle could only retreat several times. Sonnia lost her temper and quickly crawled toward them in a hurry. Damn you, wench! You, b*tch! Just you wait for me!
After their meal, everybody left together. They were ready to return to their hotel rooms for a rest while getting ready for the fashion show later that afternoon. Nathan sent someone to drive Luna back to the kindergarten to continue with her lessons, but he did not expect her to cling onto his legs while refusing to leave. Kindergarten classes were also ending for the day, so he had no choice but to take her along. I suppose it's good to broaden her horizons! Earlier that morning, Hilda saw many child actors in attendance at the venue. Another guest, who appeared in 'Where Are We Going, Dad?' with Nathan, brought his child along as well. It turned out that it was normal to bring children along during fashion week. Nathan received a job today, which was to model for the launch of a new men's clothing line under the DAB Group. Luna left with him while looking pleased with herself. After arriving in the hotel room, she opened her bag. Then, she changed into a fashionable piece of
Jerome sat by the window while staring at the dark, gloomy sky outside. The lounge was dark because he did not switch on the lights. His figure seemed to have been glued to the window frame, appearing as though the darkness could engulf him anytime soon. I am not happy at all. I don't want to get engaged, let alone be engaged to Elizabeth… Upon hearing Arlo's voice, Jerome turned his head to look and gave a gentle smile. "Go ahead. Don't be late." After that, he turned again and stared outside the window in a daze. As Arlo gave Milo a glance, the worried brothers approached him and saw his lifeless eyes staring outside the window with a stoic face. Milo hesitated before uttering quietly, "Dad, do you want me to explain to her?" They had watched him preparing clothes for Connie in advance, but... With a tired face, he gave a mock smile. "You don't need to explain to her. She knows that my goal will never change, regardless of whether I'm married to Elizabeth or not." He wanted
