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
Everyone was silent. She had just been thinking that Luna had grown more sensible and recognized when to retreat in the face of adversity. However, by shifting blame onto the staff member who brought her in, she had put her own shooting at risk.Ruth had been hesitating about whether to let it go and not pursue the matter further to avoid harming the innocent co-workers. But it seemed that she had been too optimistic about Luna.Luna was not only bad at her job, but her mental endurance was even worse. She deserved to face the consequences of her actions.“What’s going on?” Realizing that something was wrong, the manager quickly walked over.Abel’s eyes darkened. “Your Tantal Press agency’s standards seem to be deteriorating. Why are you recruiting all kinds of people to the agency?”The manager had some tact. When he saw that it was Abel speaking, he went forward to greet him respectfully. After understanding the situation, he immediately said that he would handle the employees
“Did you think I was joking when I said that I would personally handle it?” Abel said.Ruth was moved. “Thank you! I’ll reward you with a kiss!” She leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips.Abel was stunned for a moment. His gaze was warm, but his expression remained cold. “There are still people around. You should be careful.”Kallan was speechless. “Treat me like a sack of potatoes, it’s fine! I’ll count myself lucky if you two don’t end up arguing again.”Ruth chose a photographer whom she had worked with before and said that she still had to think about the venue because she had to take care of some special guests.At this point, Abel asked, “Do you want to invite your aunt?”Ruth did not even look up from the tablet. “Of course, and her whole family!”Understanding flashed across Abel’s eyes. If she had a family, then being a voluntary celibate was just a cover for Ruth’s aunt.When they were almost home, Ruth put down her tablet and picked up her phone again. She
