"Why should I care who she is?" As soon as the words left her mouth, her expression suddenly changed and she turned to look at David.David pulled out his phone and quickly stepped aside to make a call.Mrs. Walker fixed me with a piercing gaze. "Have you met her?"I stayed silent and rolled up my window.Through the glass, Mrs. Walker gave me one last searching look before turning away and getting back into her car.I started my engine and drove off.Molly was studying pharmaceutical biology, and Johnsonville College of Pharmacy perfectly matched her field. Based on Mrs. Walker's reaction, she must have figured out who Molly was.After searching for Molly for so long without success, the fact that she'd brazenly returned to the country was nothing short of a slap in the face to Mrs. Walker.Mrs. Walker was someone who needed to be in control of everything. She wouldn't let things slip from her grasp. She'd now focus all her attention on dealing with Molly, leaving small fry li

Doggo was fresh from his bath, all soft and fragrant. Just as I was about to nuzzle his little body, he squirmed free from my arms and jumped to the ground.Worried he might hurt himself, I quickly called out "Doggo!" and reached out to catch him.Doggo was nimble though - he rolled once on the ground, got up, and darted straight to Luke's feet.He started tugging at Luke's pant leg, trying to get his attention.I: ...What a ungrateful little one - already more attached to Luke than me!Luke looked down as the little one whimpered and jumped up, pawing at his leg.I walked over to the little guy. "Doggo..."The moment I spoke, he acted like I was some kind of threat and quickly scooted away.The store clerk joked, "He's so smart! Just like us - always going for the handsome ones."I: ...Luke bent down and picked up Doggo. "Missing Goofy?"Doggo barked immediately at hearing "Goofy's" name."I'm sorry, Mr. Walker. He's bothering you - I'll take him away right now."I ste

Five minutes later, Luke slid into my car.I suspected he'd planned this whole thing, though I had no proof.Taking a deep breath to suppress my irritation, I started the engine."If you're not in the right headspace to drive, I can take over," Luke offered."That won't be necessary, Mr. Walker."There was definitely an invisible anger burning inside me that needed an outlet.After making sure I had a safe distance from the car behind us, I slammed on the brakes several times.What annoyed me even more was how Luke seemed to anticipate it, barely leaning forward, while I nearly flew out of my seat.My attempt to make him look foolish had backfired, and my anger slowly turned to frustration."Jenny Smith has been tailing Emily lately."Was Mrs. Walker behind this?I dismissed that thought immediately. "Mr. Walker, your charm knows no bounds. Looks like you've got another devoted admirer."Without realizing it, Luke had successfully diverted my attention."But certainly not

"There are toys and dog food I bought for Doggo inside.""Mr. Walker...""Consider it payment for the ride home."I: ...Every move of his seemed carefully calculated!I couldn't refuse anymore.He sorted out all the toys and dog food he'd bought for Doggo.Doggo was hanging onto his shoulder, refusing to come down."Doggo..."My patience exhausted, I put on my stern face, trying to intimidate him into getting down from Luke's shoulder.Doggo wasn't having any of it.He was totally focused on the idea that staying with Luke meant seeing Goofy, completely ignoring my warning looks."He just misses Goofy."I kept staring at Doggo, ignoring Luke's comment."There's no irreconcilable conflict between us that requires cutting all ties. There's no need to force Doggo and Goofy to stay apart.""You're the one who wanted to draw the line, Mr. Walker.""I don't recall ever saying that.""You never said it out loud, but your actions made your feelings crystal clear. You..."He

"How do you know about Molly?" Mrs. Walker's tone was sharp. "Did Luke tell you?""Mrs. Walker, confirming rumors isn't particularly difficult.""You investigated me!"Having her long-buried secret exposed, Mrs. Walker became furious with embarrassment."I just followed the breadcrumbs and learned some things I probably shouldn't have," I said. Mrs. Walker saw me as an ant she could crush at will. I wanted to show her that even a cornered rabbit will bite back. "If you don't make things difficult for me, I won't mention this to anyone else.""Jen, think carefully. Going against me won't end well for you.""Mrs. Walker, you never considered me one of your own from the start."Except for her children, everyone else was beneath her - not even worthy of shining her shoes."A stupid woman who was deceived by a man and got her parents and child killed, now trying to act smart with me."Mrs. Walker's mocking words stabbed like a knife into my heart, making me lose my breath for a m

Just like I was back then."Love had blinded him. He thought his girlfriend genuinely loved him, regardless of his fame. When he eagerly approached her about marriage, she showed her true colors after learning the company had shelved him. She insisted he had abandoned her and was only trying to reconcile so she'd delete her online posts. No matter how Noah tried to explain, she kept playing the victim, with tears in her eyes.""Noah thought she'd just misunderstood him because she couldn't reach him. He kept promising her a happy future, and to prove his sincerity, he transferred all his cars and properties to her name."I: ...Talk about being completely lovesick!How could someone who'd been in the entertainment industry be so naive!"After getting the houses and cars, she acted a bit nicer, pretending to advise him to focus on his career since they'd have a child to support. Under her influence, Noah contacted his agent, hoping he could help negotiate with the company for work

Chapter 817

From the start, KK had just used the little one as a stepping stone. Once he and Noah had no more value to her, she tossed them aside like trash.She only cared about what she could gain - Ian absolutely couldn't live with her!"If people online keep digging, I wonder if we can keep his background hidden much longer.""Mr. Lloyd used to be a top star, and the entertainment industry loves creating fake couples. He's worked with many actresses and had lots of rumored relationships," I said, giving Beatrice a meaningful look.Beatrice: "Ms. Middleton, are you suggesting we find someone to take the fall?""There must be some single, former starlets among the actresses he's been linked to.""There are.""With Mr. Lloyd about to make his comeback, bringing up old rumors would give them some publicity. Their response would boost their popularity too."Popularity could be monetized, and in showbiz, truth and fiction blur together. An old rumor wouldn't hurt a has-been celebrity much.

Chapter 818

Now that she was becoming a well-known celebrity, paparazzi would follow her outside, so we met at the company to avoid being disturbed.Penelope wore a white sweater with jeans, looking casual and natural.Compared to before, she carried herself with a new sense of ease and confidence.When I saw her, I stood up and waved.Penelope was delighted to see me. Being a company artist, some people in the employee cafeteria recognized and greeted her.She responded with a friendly smile."I wanted to invite you for Japanese food, Jen, but some reporters kept following me. I couldn't shake them off.""That just shows you're getting more famous."I got her a plate of food according to her taste and placed it in front of her."Fame means money."Penelope was focused on making money now. Compared to her career drive, I felt like a bit of a slacker."What do you plan to do after you make money?""I want to invite you to travel the world with me, Jen. Would you be interested?""So I'v

Chapter 819

"Right now, I'm just hoping he'll be gracious enough not to sabotage me after our contract ends.""Luke says he's a decent person.""Let's hope Mr. Walker's judgment is right."I almost blurted out "Of course it is, he's the genius Luke," but caught myself just in time.My trust in him had become bone-deep.Little did I know that in this situation with Jethro and Penelope, not only would he not announce their breakup, but he'd frequently appear in the same productions as her, with numerous scenes together.During filming, he repeatedly called for retakes, claiming it was to achieve better results.At first, Penelope thought it was just his high professional standards, but as it kept happening, she realized he was deliberately making things difficult for her.Penelope's life experiences had taught her patience, so when he demanded retakes, she complied without a word.Jethro was like someone punching a pillow - he couldn't hurt Penelope, and it only frustrated him more....M

She wore subtle makeup and carried herself with natural elegance, reminiscent of a delicate English rose.Approaching the podium, she allowed a technician to adjust her microphone.At the administrators' signal, the auditorium fell silent.The dean formally introduced Molly's impressive credentials.She had graduated from one of the country's most prestigious pharmaceutical programs, studied abroad, then served as faculty for three years before joining the Marie Research Institute. Her track record included developing several breakthrough medications for serious illnesses.Over the years, numerous pharmaceutical companies had tried to recruit her, but their offers went unanswered.News of her return triggered a flood of pharmaceutical representatives to Riverside City, all hoping to discuss potential collaborations.The university had hired private security to protect her from unwanted interruptions.Unable to reach her directly, company representatives had resorted to attendin
