“Leon, I'll wait for you outside,” she blurted out.As Luna rushed out of the men’s restroom, she was met with the astonished gaze of the man who had just exited the stall, leaving her feeling mortified.She felt her face burning with embarrassment, desperately wishing she could disappear from the scene.The moment Leon emerged from the restroom, he noticed Luna standing there, her hand covering her flushed face, unwilling to move an inch. He couldn't help but think she was a stubborn woman.“You're the most shameless woman I’ve ever encountered,” Leon coldly remarked.Despite his icy tone, Luna slowly removed her hand. Though she was still blushing, she brazenly replied, “Shameless? You can’t possibly say that about me! You're exaggerating.”With those words, Luna retrieved a few papers from her bag and handed them over to Leon. They were her grandmother's medical records.“Leon, please take a look at these,” she implored. “Whose medical records are these?” Leon glanced briefly at th

This establishment served as a gathering place for individuals from varied backgrounds, encompassing both honor and deceit. Influential figures frequented this venue, rendering Luna, an innocent and naive soul, susceptible to exploitation or harm from the cunning inhabitants.The women who frequented this establishment all shared a common motive—to seek prosperous companions. Consequently, Luna’s presence perplexed Preston.Did she also harbor intentions of securing a benefactor?What was more, while the relentless pursuers drew nearer, Preston experienced an inexplicable longing and an overpowering urge to safeguard Luna with his entire being. He ached to envelop her in the depths of his existence, shielding her from any lurking peril.Here he stood, once again displaying his fierce nature toward her! Anger growing, Luna swiftly seized Preston’s hand from her waist, determined to get straight to the point.“Who are those individuals, and why are they relentlessly pursuing you?”“You

After breakfast.Madeline drove her red Maserati to head office of Crawford Properties Group.From a distance, she saw a lot of men and women gathering at the entrance of the company.They stood there in groups, holding banners "Boycott Madeline" in their hands, and kept shouting,"Madeline, come out immediately and give us an explanation."This scene was completely unexpected to her.She was not surprised that they made trouble on the Internet, but it was unbelievable that they woulddare to make trouble in real world.Most of those people were driven by Bella's money.Relying on those fans alone, they didn't have the ability to come here to make a fuss.Madeline didn't expect it to affect the real world at all.Watching those swear words on the Internet was completely different from seeing and experiencing itwith her own eyes in reality.Seeing the remarks on the Internet, Madeline wouldn’t think too much. Even if she was a little unhappy, itwould soon pass.But now it was not.It

Those words came into Madeline’s ears.Looking at their faces, she instantly felt a sense of speechlessness.This feeling made her feel a little breathless.She knew that even if she continued to explain it to these people, they wouldn't listen, because theywere not a group of normal people at all.So she pulled Paige away and stood in front of the middle-aged woman, "There is surveillance video atthe door of my company. The surveillance video will explain what’s going on.""My car is not cheap. If the hood is broken, it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Are you goingto pay me now, or give me an IOU first?"The middle-aged woman was stunned when she heard it. Then she swallowed, "Hundreds ofthousands? Do you want to steal money? Pay you? Impossible.""Okay, then you have to go to jail. I’ll hand over everything to the law. In addition to going to jail, youwill also be included in the list of deadbeats. At that time, you can’t do many things in thiscountry. Of course, i

She was really lucky that he was able to save her in such a short amount of time.“Derek was nearby. I notified him of what happened.”Luna breathed a sigh of relief. If Derek had not been around, they would not have made it. Then, she winced when she felt a sting on her cheek.After realizing that her face was also hurt, she closed her eyes. She had just remembered that one of the thugs had pressed her face against the wall earlier.Luna groaned in discomfort as she touched her swelling cheek with a finger.Her cheek definitely had fractured skin. She inhaled deeply. She could not help but wonder if her face would be permanently scarred. She had faked an unattractive appearance before, but it might become real this time, and she did not want that.Luna could not tell how bad the scratches on her face were, so she leaned forward and tapped Preston on the arm to get his attention.“Is my face badly injured? Was it disfigured?” Luna asked in a serious tone. Having an actual deformed fac

Upon hearing that, Preston shot the men on the ground with a murderous glare. He could not understand why Luna was talking to him in such a childish, petulant tone, but that was not important right now.His gaze went to the feet of the man closest to him. The soles of his shoes were so hard that they could have killed a man with a single kick, let alone Luna.Preston’s attention returned to his phone when it vibrated.It seemed that Luna had ended the call to send him a photo of her neck that was covered with bruises, the most prominent of which was a shoeprint-shaped one.“The leader of those guys kicked me. He almost broke my neck,” Luna complained when she called Preston again. If she were there now, she would have taught the bastard a lesson herself.She sent the photo to Preston because she hoped that he would take vengeance for her. The scumbags had to be punished for hurting her.After ending the call, Preston pocketed his phone. He was currently sporting a very frightening exp

“Leon, please, plead on my behalf. I cannot afford to lose Novus Group,” Brock pleaded, gazing at Leon with hope in his eyes.Ever since this son entered the room, his father had been kneeling there, while he leaned against the wall, seemingly detached from the situation.Leon glanced at Claudia, but opted to remain silent. “You're mistaken. Your father and I have dedicated our entire lives to Novus Group. Since you took over its operations, the performance has plummeted. It’s time to reclaim it and implement a restructuring plan.”Claudia rose from her seat and declared, “Arrange a ticket for Brock tonight. Stop kneeling here. Return home and pack your belongings.”She had reached a firm decision that brooked no argument. After a brief moment, Brock rose to his feet, glaring at Preston with sheer animosity. “Are you content now? Remember, I am your elder. Aren’t you afraid of choking on whatever you snatch from me?”Preston sneered with a cold detachment, “If you had recognized me as

She was also whimpering. Preston approached her slowly and saw something unusual: the corners of her eyes were damp. “Grandma, don’t leave. You can’t... you can’t take her away. I'll save her.” Luna was having a terrible nightmare about her sick grandmother being taken to the grave. She threw her arms in the air, her frail frame raging against the evil forces that threatened to steal her grandmother away in her nightmare. “Grandma, you can’t leave me. You're the only one I have...” Preston’s eyes darkened. Seeing Luna in such a vulnerable state sparked an overwhelming sense of protectiveness in him. The next morning, Luna awoke to find a bottle of a popular worldwide perfume brand, in a striking shade of red, sitting on her desk. Last night, Preston thought the perfume would smell nice on her, so he bought a bottle of it right away. Luna curiously grabbed the exquisite bottle of perfume to examine it, wondering why it was on her desk. The red liquid inside was a beautiful c

Did he like Luna? He was not really sure about that because they had just met.He could not deny that he felt comfortable around the woman, though.“I’m sorry, but I can’t answer that. It’s a personal matter.”Rhea silently berated him for his response, but she maintained a smile on her face.“Look, I just want to help because I can tell you’re interested in Luna. I guess we should clear up a misunderstanding first. It may not look like it, but Luna and I are actually good friends. She’s just angry at me right now because we got into a little bit of an argument.”After a while, Patrick asked, “Does this mean that Luna is still single?”Finally, the most important question was asked. Rhea did not even bat an eye as she lied. “Yes, she’s absolutely single right now.”“Then tell me. What's the relationship between her and Mr. King?”It was still bugging Patrick. Luna denied being Preston’s employee, and she also claimed they had just met, but they clearly had known each other for some ti

Luna replied, “Of course not...”“Yes, she works for the King Group, and if not for this encounter, I would’ve had no idea that someone so undisciplined had been hired by my company. It looks like we need to replace HR.”It was then that Derek approached them and said, “Mr. King, you have a meeting this afternoon. We have to go now.” Preston shot Luna a warming look before he left. She shuddered in fear, but she managed to shrug it off.She inhaled deeply as she watched his retreating figure. The atmosphere seemed to lighten almost immediately after Preston left.“Why did you talk to Mr. King like that? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll fire you?” Luna rolled her eyes. “Do you really think he’s my boss? You need glasses. There’s something wrong with your eyes.”“What’s your relationship with him, then? He’s a very busy person, but he still approached you when he saw you. Is he your brother? But you don’t look like each other at all.”Luna did not want to tell him that Preston was her husba

Patrick nodded and replied, “Don’t doubt it. With advanced technology, anything is possible. It’s feasible to extract excellent genes from large oranges and carefully cultivate them. They could grow as big as a grapefruit or even as large as a pumpkin.”Luna was taken aback. How could an orange grow to the size of a pumpkin? If that happened, her whole family wouldn’t be able to finish a single orange.Confidently, Patrick shared a smile, revealing a set of perfectly aligned teeth.“You find it hard to believe? ‘Super Orange’ is a recent research project at our academy. When the day comes and ‘Super Orange’ is successful, I'll be the first to send one to you so you can witness this miracle.”Luna was inspired by Patrick’s confidence. Yes, she shouldn't forget that the boy before her was a talented individual from a research academy.Luna also found Patrick intriguing.“Alright, I'll get a tub to gather them,” Luna agreed, smiling.With his prominent eyebrows and large eyes, Patrick sh

The worst that can happen is a bit of sweat from the sun, but | won’t get sunstroke.”Initially, Luna found the boy’s appearance slightly peculiar, yet as the saying goes, one should not slap a smiling person. Thus, she responded in kind.The boy weighed the orange in his hand and offered Luna a beaming smile.“You're correct. |, too, found it difficult to fall asleep, so | decided to take a stroll in the orchard. Napping isn’t a habit of mine. Allow me to introduce myself first. I’m Patrick. And you?”Luna glanced at him, remaining cautious. Without responding, she continued to gather oranges. “You've collected quite a number of oranges. Will you be able to finish them all? Oranges don’t keep well for long; they spoil easily,” Patrick kindly urged.Luna stole a glance at Patrick. Why did this person talk so much? However, when she looked at his smiling face, she couldn’t discern any ill intentions.“T won't be eating them alone. Many people will share them, so | need to gather more,”

Preston feigned curiosity and continued, “King, you truly are a scholar of great accomplishment. Your choice of words is undeniably refined. ‘Enlightening’? Using your mouth to enlighten Luna, you drew so near that one might mistake a kiss for imminent. It is rather embarrassing. In broad daylight, couldn’t you have sought a more secluded setting to educate her?”King couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, “Damn.”Meanwhile, at the entrance to her room, Luna gently tapped her forehead, her face still emanating a heat akin to a simmering fire. Given the chance, she would undoubtedly impart a valuable lesson to Preston.“Bitch!”Rhea emerged from the adjacent room and immediately commenced her assault on Luna's character as soon as she caught sight of her retreating figure.“You conniving woman. You are naught but a seductress, employing every means to captivate King.” Luna turned around, her eyes meeting Rhea’s fiery gaze.Rhea had just witnessed the interaction between King and Lu

Preston seethed with anger. It turned out that Luna had used the perfume not because he had sent it but because she believed it had come from her best friend.“How about this? How much did the perfume cost? I will transfer the money to you.”Luna felt a profound sense of embarrassment. She genuinely had no knowledge that Preston had purchased the perfume. She abhorred taking advantage of others and presently felt remorseful.Nevertheless, the perfume he had chosen was truly exceptional. Perhaps he had intended it for some other woman.Luna retrieved her phone, gloomy in demeanor.She wanted to transfer the money to him? Preston was livid. Luna had genuinely enraged him.“Disregard it. A change of heart has befallen me. I shall withhold the transfer,” Luna proclaimed, tucking away her phone abruptly.“Have you finally come to your senses?” Preston quipped, a slight raise of his eyebrow betraying his amusement.“After thorough deliberation,” Luna retorted, “I have resolved to procure an

She glanced at Preston, who averted his eyes. Yet Luna sensed that there was something concealed behind his prior gaze.Luna covered her mouth, feigning drowsiness.“I shall retire for a nap. You should rest as well.”As Luna prepared to depart, Preston took a step forward, blocking her path. Luna nearly collided with him, bringing them into uncomfortably close proximity.Luna’s heartbeat quickened. She inquired, “What are you doing?”“You possess the key to my room, so why don’t you sleep there?” Preston lowered his gaze, fixating on Luna’s head. His magnetic voice wafted above Luna's head, leaving her tingling with a jolt of electricity.“I am injured. It would be inconvenient for me to rest on the sofa. I require a proper respect.“Is that the sole reason?” Observing Preston’s probing eyes, Luna nodded. “Indeed, that is the reason.”In truth, who would willingly choose to share a room with you? Isn’t it far more tranquil and independent to occupy a room alone? Luna pondered silentl

The only person who seemed particularly angry with this, was Rhea. “Drop it here, Preston. Luna is waiting!” Bruce urged. Preston threw Bruce a warning glare before taking out the room card from his chest pocket and giving it to Bruce. Bruce rushed back to the front desk and handed the card to Luna who didn’t even touch it. “Luna, here’s Preston’s room card.” “You should give that back to him. I’ve already booked a room for myself,” Luna replied casually. Bruce frowned, confused. “Why do you want to be in a different room from your husband?” Luna took the card the receptionist was giving to her and said, “The owner explained the rooms here are generally small, and might be a bit crowded for two people. I think we'll both be able to rest better if we have our own space.” She was fed up with sleeping on the sofa at home. She wouldn’t put herself through that out here too. Her neck hurt, and she could already feel it getting stiff. Plus, she knew that sharing a room with P

King had stupidly insisted on studying medicine, giving Preston the leeway to gain control over most of the Miller family’s businesses. Even now that King had decided to get into business, he still wasn’t as sharp as Preston.Preston had successfully gained Claudia’s favor, and was now the owner of most of the Miller family’s fortune.King turned back to look at his father and answered him with disdain, “If you want to have the chance to enjoy the rest of your miserable life, you'd better stop thinking too highly of yourself and know your place. Preston may be your nephew, but his mind a hundred times sharper than yours. The only thing your brain can do, is play around with women and bring my mother trouble.”Brock clamped his mouth shut after that, watching in silence as his son walked farther away from him.What more did he actually expect? King had held a grudge against him since forever. He was probably also haunted by that year when he got missing.“Mr. Miller,” called a bodyguar
