"How is that too much? I haven't seen the love of my life all night. What's wrong with hugging and kissing her?" Percy noticed that Nina was embarrassed, so he hugged her even tighter.Adrian rolled his eyes and continued typing on the keyboard. He was copying the files to the memory drive.Nina listened to their conversation. They were relaxed as though they were not facing a crisis. She raised her head and looked at the man with watery eyes. "Percy, you said you needed my help with something. How can I help?"Percy kissed her cheek and replied, "You'll find out later.""Are you guys going to make out? Should I take my computer out and leave you both alone?” Although Adrian was looking at his computer, he was annoyed by their interactions."All you do is face the computer all day. The computer is your wife. Why are you being so sour?" Percy grabbed Nina’s hand, and they sat on the sofa. "Nina, let me introduce you to my friend, Adrian. He's a computer god.""Hello," Nina nodded
As they walked into the venue, Nina felt that all of the flashlights of the reporters’ cameras were directed at her.She was so nervous that her body could not help shaking. However, she straightened her back, followed Percy's footsteps, and arrived at the main seat. She then sat next to him at his signal.Since she had chosen to be with Percy, it was time for her to learn to face the camera.She put on her best demeanor so the reporters would not have the slightest chance to use her to attack Percy.Percy sat down, and the reporters in the audience were eager to ask questions.Percy raised his hand, indicating that it was not the time for them to ask questions. He was the host and main speaker since it was a last-minute press conference with no moderator."Hello, everyone. Good morning. Today's press conference is held because there’s something I want to clarify. I hope that after you hear my side of the story, you can report what I said truthfully and inform the general public,
When the reporters saw what he was doing, they knew that they were about to get their hands on some juicy news. All of them directed their cameras at the screen.Percy said, "A large part of the reason why I terminated my engagement with Ms. Madison, in addition to the commercial crisis that the Johnston family is facing, is because I found out that Ms. Madison is a scarlet woman. She doesn't meet the criteria I have for a wife. Besides, I still care deeply about Ms. Nina. As such, despite knowing that the dissolution of the marriage would harm me, I still firmly terminated my engagement as soon as I found out."Nina's gaze fell on the projector screen. There were piles of documents side by side, all of which were records of Madison's hospitalization records.Among them, there were her gynecology reports. Everything was recorded on the computer, so Nina could understand the writing. The report mentioned that Madison had contracted multiple STIs and had two abortions in the past few
However, at that time, Percy did not say anything and she did not take the initiative to ask him. That was why they ended up where they were.Nina felt terribly guilty. He was doing his best to overcome difficulties just to be with her, but she was constantly doubting him. She even told him that she was leaving him, unknowingly troubling and stressing him out.He even went as far as getting drunk to hurt himself."Percy, I’ll never leave you again—not unless you don't want me anymore." Nina hugged him back.Percy heard her and said solemnly, "What are you talking about? I’ll never let you go for as long as I live."Nina listened to his oath and smiled sweetly.Even though the price of their happily ever after was hurting Madison, Madison had indeed deceived Percy. Nina did not feel as guilty anymore. She was happy as long as she was with Percy."Okay, we'll be together forever, then!" Nina felt that every cell in her body was filled with joy. She felt like she was walking on air
"I can't go out now!" Nick was sour. The Johnston family had always been a patriarchal family. If Madison did not have some means, she would not have any say in the family.Madison was stunned, and her face was pale. She had just browsed the internet and saw that public opinion had changed drastically.It was only half an hour after Percy's live broadcast.The public had been scolding Nina and Percy but had since shifted to gossip about her. Madison was scared of seeing this change.Her absurd days in the past involved a range of men, some of which were not of quality. If they saw the news, they might use the one night they spent together as bragging rights on the internet."What happened?" Madison wondered, wanting to go out to see.Nick held her and said with a sullen expression, "Thanks to your plan, the place is flooded with reporters. They’re not the ones you arranged either! I’m not the only one who can't get out, no one else can! Why should I contact the chairperson? Even
Luke looked at her deeply. He knew that Luca was smiling like that because Nina was happy.He did not misunderstand. He just nodded slightly and walked out of the office.Percy may seem cold, but he had a romantic side when he was with Nina.If he did not know the details, he would likely have gotten jealous of Percy for making Luca smile like that.Luca watched Luke leave. She touched her chin and wondered why he walked over. ‘Is there work for me to do? If yes, he could’ve easily called me to notify me. But he came in and left without talking about work?’Luca was puzzled.When Luke returned to the office, he remembered why he went to look for Luca just now. He was in a daze thinking about how her smile was not for him, so he was so annoyed that he even forgot that he was there to talk to her about something.He was a little embarrassed to walk back to her office, so he picked up his phone and texted Luca.[Dinner at the Royal Crown Hotel tonight at seven.] He pressed ‘send
Luke was secretly delighted that his small actions would make her react so strongly. He casually put his hands on the steering wheel after he fastened his seat belt.When faced with Luca, he felt as though he was a young schoolboy. He was head over heels for her since back then.Back then, he was not sure how to strike up a conversation with her, so he played on the court to attract her attention.Luke felt like he had gone back in time when he would secretly rejoice because of her small actions.Luca noticed that Luke had not started driving. She turned her head to the side and looked at the man's strong side profile. "Mr. Crawford?"Her voice was soft and gentle, grazing his ears like a gust of soft wind. All of the cells in Luke's body shuddered.He turned his head and looked at her, her gaze softening involuntarily."What's the matter?" he asked.Luca raised his hand slightly, pointed ahead, and asked hesitantly, "Aren't you going to drive?"After being reminded, Luke real
Luca thought Jack was acting a little weird.In the past, Jack had always been polite to her, but today, he was welcoming and kind.That was how he acted toward her when she was still Bianca.Luca nodded and sat on the chair.Jack looked at her delicate facial features. Her looks were significantly different from what she used to look like. ‘In the past few years, she has been controlled by a mysterious organization and was even forced to change her face. She must have suffered a lot…’He was distressed and could not help but blame himself for not protecting Luca well enough.Luke cleared his throat. After Jack found out that Luca was his daughter, his mentality must have changed. However, the change should not be too obvious so as to not arouse Luca’s suspicions."Father-in-law, I’ve already ordered some dishes to share. They’re home-cooked dishes. I also ordered a bottle of wine,” he said. "Did you go over the budget?" Jack came to his senses. He was deep in thought looking
