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
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
