The official announcement from Seema’s workshop did not go smoothly. The Lovehart family played a part in this... especially Notus.The Lovehart family was still comforting Katie.“Seema’s team has no foresight at all! They actually chose Demi when you were clearly the obvious choice! When the time comes, we’re going to send your father’s assistant to have some words with them. It’s too ridiculous!”Janet was sitting at the breakfast table with a silk shawl draped over her shoulders. She gripped the cutlery tightly, and her face was filled with displeasure.Aquilo was seated opposite her, and he poured her a glass of cold water. “Seema is very famous in the jewelry design industry. Dad’s assistant might not even be able to meet her!”Janet was instantly displeased. “You’re a horrible brother! You’re not even comforting your own sister! And you’re saying they’re better than us?!”Aquilo gave up. “Alright, alright. It’s all my fault. I’ll shut up, okay?”“If your father’s assistan
Janet’s eyes suddenly turned cold and resentful when she glared at Notus.She was also a victim of what happened back then. What was he putting all the blame on her?For the past twenty years, Notus never took care of the Lovehart family’s affairs. He had been running around for that woman! And up until now, he still wanted Janet to treat that woman’s b*stard child as her own?!“Notus, do you think that everyone is dying to be your wife?”“Are you saying you weren’t one of them?”Their eyes met, and the silence became suffocating.Aquilo and Katie had learned long ago that their parents did not have a good relationship. Considering the prestige of a wealthy family marriage, there were plenty of couples who maintained appearances despite the distance in their relationship.However, there was clearly something else behind Notus’s words today. The two of them held a grudge against each other.Aquilo tried to advise Notus, “Dad, calm down. Mom is only doing it for Luna’s sake, she
When Janet saw Luna’s wound, she was at a loss.Although she was mean to Luna, she had never been rough with her.Janet thought about how Luna spoke just now, she had seemed flustered and anxious, and her words were littered with half-truths. She was, in fact, trying to fool Notus.She let Notus think that Janet was harsh, disgusted, and jealous of her. Furthermore, she made Notus believe that Janet would even hurt Luna for a small endorsement just to let Katie have the privilege of choice.It was a poor performance, but the enraged Notus, who already hated Janet, readily took Luna’s side.Janet was suddenly amused. She got up and went upstairs. When she passed by Luna, she lowered her gaze and looked at her wrist. She softly said, “My, aren’t you careless. I hope you recover well and that your endorsement goes smoothly.”Luna shivered.After Janet left, only the Lovehart twins and Luna were left in the living room.Luna looked up at them pitifully and said nervously, “Katie,
Katie sighed helplessly and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. “Don’t get involved in the conflict between Mom and Luna from now on!”Aquilo’s eyes flashed, and he asked, “You don’t like her, either?”“Do you like her that much?”“I can’t say that I like her. I just think that she’s quite pitiful.”“Pitiful? Ha! Please use your brain more. Does this ‘pitiful’ person always provoke conflict when Dad comes home and cause him to be even more dissatisfied with Mom?”“It has to be a coincidence. She can’t be that mean.” Aquilo thought for a moment and remembered something. “By the way, do you think Dad still hates Mom for what she did back then?”Katie closed her eyes. “Indeed, only foolish men like you can be fooled by such cheap tricks. And who cares if they hate each other or not? After all, we’re family.”As soon as she finished speaking, a face flashed through her mind.It seemed that HE was the only one who would never fall for Katie’s tricks. Whether it was sophisticated or
Erica was called over in the morning to help Demi put on the new jewelry.She was a little surprised to see Ruth there. However, when she stood at the side and accidentally heard a few words, she stayed rooted to the spot as though she had been struck by lightning.What?Ruth designed the rings herself? Ruth and Abel Blakewell were preparing to hold a wedding?Her mind went blank for a few minutes.It was not until Dulcie called for her to set up the order that Erica suddenly came to her senses. She nodded and walked over quickly to Dulcie.“You want me to set up an order?”“Yes. Can you?”It was not a question of whether Erica could or not. She was still an employee of Lockton Corporation, after all. Erica could not help but ask nervously, “You trust me enough to handle setting up an order?”Amused, Dulcie said, “Do you mean as an employee of Lockton Corporation? You didn’t read the employment contract carefully, did you?”Erica was confused by this.“You’re Ruth’s assist
Erica widened her eyes and followed Dulcie.“You ate it yourself? Are there no side effects? Or are all the members of the Rivas family immune to poison?”Dulcie paused and wordlessly stared at her. “Have you watched too many TV dramas? Immune to poison, my foot.”Erica parroted Dulcie’s line, “‘The things shown on TV can also come from real life’!”Dulcie was amused again. She handed the small bottle to Erica and said kindly, “This pill has another name: Chocolate Beans! It can lower your blood sugar. Want one?”Erica was speechless and politely declined.Not long after, Demi came over. After the fitting, she went straight to the photoshoot area to get the promotional photos done as soon as possible.Erica was busy the entire time, and her mind was reeling. She only recovered a little after filming started in the afternoon.She had heard too much news this morning—about the workshop, and about Ruth. Despite her shock, she was also excited. It was as though they had accepted he
Ruth realized at that moment that it was Leroy’s group!Erica had said that it would be announced tomorrow.How interesting. He was also doing his shoot today, and coincidentally, they had rented the same studio.“Ruth, you’re here, too!” A surprised voice sounded from outside the door.Luna walked in with a group of people. The moment she saw Ruth, a smile bloomed on her face. Ruth thought. “What a hypocrite.”Ruth glanced at her. “From designers to spokespersons, and now schedules, too. You people certainly have a talent for clashing, don’t you?”Luna’s smile froze. “Ruth, you’re mistaken. I haven’t been feeling well for the past two days, so I couldn’t do the shoot as scheduled. Mr. Leroy wants to release the promotional photos tomorrow, so we rushed here.”“This studio is rented by the company. What do you mean by ‘clashing schedules’? I think you should mind your tone, Miss Ruth,” Cyrus, Luna’s manager, said unhappily.“Cyrus, forget it,” Luna said in a voice that sounded
As long as it was Lockton Corporation, everything should be fine! After all, Callum had personally instructed them to prioritize Leroy’s needs.But this lady was telling him that her team was not from Lockton Corporation, but from that famous designer, Seema?The staff member could not make up his mind and ordered someone to find the manager.Luna and her group waited nearby, but they were drawing a lot of attention.When they heard the commotion, people from other shooting sets snuck over to see what was happening.“Isn’t that Luna? She’s taking promotional photos here today?”“It’s almost the deadline, and they’re just starting the shoot. She truly lives up to being from the Lovehart family! Is this how unprofessional she has become?”“She has really changed from when she was with the Goldwell family.”Whispers broke out around them. Cyrus frowned and wanted to chase the onlookers away, but Luna shook her head at him.She wanted to use this press conference to make a comebac
