Mandy frowned. Did Johann not see it yet? Why else would he not accept her friend request?While she was wondering, she opened her profile.Her photos and posts displayed her beauty and elegance, so all Johann had to do was click on her profile to see them.Mandy was not willing to give up, so she took a mirror selfie and posted it after photoshopping. She said how tired she was from work as the caption.Before she could enjoy all the likes and comments, Matysh’s impatient voice could be heard from the outside. “What are you doing in there? What’s taking you so long to fix your makeup?”“I’m almost done.” Mandy took out her setting powder and used it to touch up the oily spots on her face before applying more lipstick.Finally, she walked out of the bathroom and sat next to Matysh.“Mr. Matysh, let’s have a drink.” Mandy lifted the glass of wine to clink glasses with him.Matysh looked at Luca’s photo and tilted his head back to finish his wine in one go.“You’re really good a
Rainie's words left Luke speechless."Who taught you to say that?" Luke’s mood darkened as he took Rainie's hand.‘If I could say such sweet words to Luca, why wouldn’t I?’If he did, he was afraid that he would scare Luca off. It would not be worth the loss if she opted to retreat and escape...Moreover, he did not like to use his words to show his affection. He believed that his actions spoke louder than words. However, the situation that Luca was in did not allow him to act so recklessly. After all, she still had some scruples holding her back.Luke did not act as he did before considering that she could not reveal her identity. Plus, there was still someone who was manipulating her behind the scenes."No… No one taught me to say that. I just think that what Aunt Nina said made sense..." Rainie shrank her neck and could not help but wonder. She overheard the adults speak, so she thought that that was how things should be. That was why she repeated it to Luke."This does not
In the hospital.Leia took a bite of the breakfast that the caretaker bought and thought it tasted terrible. She could not help but lose her temper. "What did you buy for me? Why is it so unpalatable? Didn't my family pay? Did you steal the money?"The caretaker quickly shook her head. Her face was pale as she said, "I didn’t! Ms. Norman, I wouldn't dare to steal your money...""Why are these things so unpalatable? Explain yourself!" Leia was upset. Her face was sallow, and she squinted her eyes to look at the caretaker in front of her."The Osborne isn't open today. I had no choice, so I bought your breakfast from the restaurant downstairs..." The caretaker explained. Leia was a picky eater. Even though she was sick, had no appetite, and could not eat much, she still insisted on eating the best and most expensive food around.Fortunately, there was a famous breakfast place near the hospital, The Osborne. As such, the caretaker would have to leave the ward half an hour earlier eve
The medicine under her tongue was quickly melted by saliva, and Leia was finally able to speak. She spoke with hatred, "He wanted to sell me and ruin my reputation! How can I not be angry at him?!"Queenie quickly reassured her when she saw that Leia was getting agitated once more. "Okay, that’s in the past. If we can find him and he’s willing to help, please give him a chance to make it up to you."Leia thought of what had happened back then. If Dexter had not disappeared into thin air, she certainly would not have ended things like that. "He disappeared so many years ago. How are you planning to find him? Maybe he already died at some random overpass."Queenie frowned. ‘Her hatred is too deep…’"Leia, Luke agreed to help us find him. Don't get angry now. It's more important that you take good care of yourself and wait for our good news, okay?""Wait for Luke? How would he be so kind as to help me find Dexter? Also, if Dexter agrees to give me his liver, he’ll definitely ask for
"Eat your croissant. Why are you talking so much?" Leia stared at her. She was not sure what to think.She did desperately need some money, but she was weak and defenseless. Leia knew that she could not afford to piss off Luke. Queenie paid a lot of attention to her since she got sick and might be angry if she made a move on Luca, her so-called savior. Even if she recovered, the Normans might not accept her. She had no money and no home. She would not know where to go if that happened..."I’ve never thought of you as someone hesitant," Mandy said. Leia lived an awe-inspiring life when she was abroad.Although she did not have much money, she was courageous, so she still led a pretty decent life."I didn't expect you to be so happy to be someone else's substitute." Leia mocked her.Mandy was arrogant. She would never allow her prey to make use of her as a substitute."Ugh, it's just a work relationship. I'm not stupid enough to want to get on his bed. If there’s money to be
T Corporation.Jason took Gale to the entrance of Luke's office and said, "Bro, the boss is waiting for you inside.""Thanks. I'll head in to update Boss on what I found." Gale knocked on the door after he thanked Jason."Come in." Luke's voice sounded from the other side of the door.Gale pushed the door and walked in. After he closed the door, he sat directly across from Luke. "Boss, we found something.""Tell me," Luke said.Gale handed him a stack of papers. "This is everything I could find on Mandy Sanders. She and Leia met when they were in the United States. They were no longer in contact after Leia secretly returned to A City. Mandy only came to A City after she accepted Matysh's job. She reconnected with Leia and has visited Leia in the hospital for three consecutive days.""Three days?" Luke casually flipped through Mandy's profile. She was just an ordinary woman. He would not pay much attention to her in normal circumstances.He only asked Gale to investigate her whe
Johann said with a smile, "Don't worry, he's not a bad guy. He won't do anything to Ms. Norman. You can head off now."The nurse looked at how stern Luke seemed and could not help but shiver. She thought he looked as though he was here to collect debts. "Are you sure it’s okay for me to leave?""Don’t worry about it. I'll be here. You can get out," Johann said and shook his head helplessly.Luke's expressionless face was indeed scary. He turned around and looked at Leia's vitals on the monitor. There was no issue except for her slightly fastened heartbeat.The nurse thought that Luke was scary, but considering that Johann was here, she quickly walked out after weighing it over and over again.Leia felt deep despair in her heart. "Come back soon."The nurse pretended not to hear Leia and walked out the door.The injection to stabilize Leia’s blood pressure was not in line with the hospital's standard procedure. As such, Johann reminded Luke. "If you want to ask, go for it. Don't
At night.Luke had nothing planned for the day, so he returned to the villa after he left the office.As soon as he walked into the house, the children surrounded him and handed him their homework. "Daddy, we’ve finished our homework."Luke took their workbooks. He did not see Luca in the living room, so he asked the kids, "Where's Ms. Luca?"Rainie replied obediently, "Ms. Luca is in the kitchen preparing dinner. Aunt Neile asked for some time off and just left, so Ms. Luca is busy cooking alone. Daddy, after you’re done checking our homework, go and help Ms. Luca."Luke put their workbooks down. "I'll go take a look."He walked into the kitchen and saw Luca in an apron preparing dinner for the family. It reminded him of how she was always in the kitchen preparing dinner for him and the children three years ago.At that time, Luca would never let the maid cook since the children liked to eat the meals she prepared. At most, she would let the maid become her helper. "Stop it,"
