The next evening at half past five, a black Bentley parked in front of the ornate gate of the Keller's manor.The bodyguard called and said he had seen a suspicious vehicle.After hearing about this, Madeleine called Karter on the phone, and he answered quickly."Is the car parked at the entrance yours?"Karter lightly hummed, "I arrived a bit early."Madeleine stood by the French window, holding her phone and chuckled softly, "It's okay, I'll have the bodyguard open the gate for you, come in.""Okay."After hanging up the phone, Madeleine immediately called the bodyguard to have Karter's car driven in.She sat in front of the dressing table and started putting on makeup. After all, she was a public figure, so she had to put on a light makeup before going out.At the same time, Karter had entered the Keller Manor.Tabitha looked up and down at the polite and handsome man. She waved her hand and said, "Please have a seat."After thanking, Karter sat on the sofa, with Tabitha, Danielle,
Kristian's hand holding the knife and fork paused, he lifted his gaze to the person opposite him, looking displeased, "Were you following me?"Tiffany's lips curved into a beautiful smile, "Of course not, I came here with my friends. I saw you and Deegan Adkins eating here earlier and didn't want to disturb you. But when he left, I thought it would be a good opportunity to say hello to you."Kristian looked at her and found it difficult to swallow the food. He decided to put down his knife and fork and leaned back against the back of the chair."Now that you have said hello, you can leave."Tiffany, with a smile on her lips as if she couldn't see the man's annoyance, said, "Kristian, we have known each other for many years. Do you remember how I used to follow you like a shadow, but you always had a cold face? However, what you said that day was really hurtful, and I don't think liking you is something unreasonable. If you don't like me, you can just say it, and I won't bother you any
Madeleine saw Tiffany talking to Kristian with a sweet smile on her face, and her heart felt sour.Although she managed her facial expressions well, she was still caught by Karter, who suggested changing restaurants for dinner.Madeleine did not refuse, she nodded in agreement.The two of them left the restaurant, and Karter asked Madeleine what she wanted to eat.Madeleine had lost her appetite, everything she ate tasted the same. She looked up and saw the restaurant across the street, "Let's go to that one."Karter noticed her desolation and took her with him.When ordering, he also noticed that her mind was elsewhere."Do you like Kristian?" Karter asked directly.Madeleine suddenly lifted her gaze, "Did you figure it out?"Karter sighed lightly, "Your expression said it all. But it seems like Kristian has someone by his side now. That woman seems to be quite famous."Madeleine nodded, "Her name is Tiffany, the queen of variety shows.""You are beautiful and have a good personality
Madeleine pressed her temples and spent the night in a daze, dreaming about Kristian.Seeing herself and Karter trending, she let out a sigh.These paparazzi really have nothing better to do. They can even create rumors just from having a meal.She called her agent Makenzie and as soon as the call was connected, she heard a woman's roar on the other end."My ancestor, why did you only call back now?"Madeleine quickly moved the phone half a meter away from her ear, "Lower your voice, it's too loud.""Did you see the news?""I saw it, it was just high school classmates having a meal, the media always likes to stir up trouble. I have nothing to hide, I'll just find someone to handle the public relations."Makenzie felt a headache, "The company had already dealt with it, but rumors spread like wildfire. You better post a tweet to clear your name."Madeleine sighed, "Fine, I'll finish getting ready and then send it.""You send it now!" Makenzie was absolutely furious, "You have such a ner
Madeleine looked at her with a meaningful smile and said, "There were many opponents, please teach me more."She prepared to go back and study the role carefully, aiming to make some changes and convince the director to cut that scene.At that moment, Kristian walked over with his assistant Bryan."Congratulations on getting the role of the female lead."Madeleine inwardly sneered, as this was already a settled matter.If it weren't for Tiffany causing trouble, we wouldn't have gone through it again.Perhaps Tiffany was so confident because she relied on Kristian's influence.She felt nauseous with all the insincere congratulations now.However, he had just helped her with the testimony, and with so many people present, she couldn't just embarrass him in front of everyone.Tiffany walked up to Madeleine and said, "Kristian, what about my role as the second female lead?"Kristian didn't give her an extra glance and looked directly at Madeleine, "Your earring is in my car, do you want t
In the private room, the dishes were all set.Karter undid his cufflinks, rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing a strong and muscular forearm. "Since you've treated me to a meal, let me handle this task."Madeleine smiled lightly, "Okay, then I won't compete with you."Karter held the forks and dipped the meat into the barbecue. His fingers were slender, and his arm lines were smooth. The way he dipped the meat was pleasing to the eye.Madeleine propped her elbow on the table, resting her cheek on her hand, and asked, "Karter, why did you go abroad in the first place?"Karter's actions did not stop as he lowered his gaze. "You know, my family's financial situation wasn't good. Coincidentally, there was someone who sponsored me to study abroad. It was an opportunity that couldn't be sought after, so I went abroad. I only slept four to five hours a day, and the rest of the time was spent studying, all in order to succeed and return with honor as soon as possible."Madeleine nodded, "It
Madeleine came to her senses and, in the dim and unclear light, looked at the handsome face of the man, her eyelashes trembling.She pushed the person away, very angrily saying, "Why do you think you can take advantage of me?"Kristian glanced at the people in front of him and said, "Do you want everyone to know that we are here? And then expose that we were just kissing?"Madeleine was grateful that there was no one else around. She wiped her mouth forcefully and then tried to get up and leave.She could not leave, as her wrist was held tightly by a man.Kristian pulled the person into his arms, restraining her from moving."Eating, watching a movie, what's next? Will we do some of the things that you and I just did with Karter?"Madeleine listened to the cheerful laughter in the theater, but her heart was stung by the man's words, leaving a bitter taste.He always had the ability to make her unhappy!Madeleine exclaimed indignantly, "I don't need to report to you about who I dated!"
Makenzie had something come up, so she didn't go with Madeleine. Instead, Madeleine was accompanied by her assistant Ariana.After Madeleine boarded the plane, she asked the flight attendant for a blanket and then put on an eye mask to prepare for sleep.Woodmerrow is a seven-hour flight away from Splin Town. The plane arrived at 1 am, and it would take another half an hour to collect the luggage and go to the hotel.Because Madeleine was in a hurry and there were no good flights, she had to settle for this time.Fortunately, the first-class cabin was very quiet, and combined with the heavy worries she had been carrying these days, she fell asleep before the plane even took off.Ariana has been with Madeleine for two years since the previous assistant resigned due to pregnancy. She still knows Madeleine's temper and preferences quite well.She knew that Madeleine must have been in a very bad mood, which is why she chose this time to leave Woodmerrow.She watched as Madeleine's blanket
Nancy woke up and found herself in the hospital, with a furry head by her side.She recognized that it was Dalton, how was he here?Did he save himself or was he here as a family member to take care?She tended towards the second situation, after all, no one knew about her visit to the gallery last night.However, in any case, she felt that she was not prepared to meet him.Just at that moment, Dalton moved.Nancy immediately closed her eyes.Dalton, with sleepy eyes, sat up and stretched, moving his neck.Last night, he was here guarding Nancy, afraid that she might have any problems.Actually, he could have slept on the nearby bed, but he didn't.He wanted to be closer to her because last night's fire almost took her away.He looked at Nancy's trembling eyelids and knew that she had woken up."Nancy, did you wake up?" Dalton said gently.The person on the sickbed continued to doze, with only
"Nancy!"Dalton discovered that his voice was trembling, and he shouted again, coughing violently afterwards.Nancy had no reaction, and Dalton picked up the person and rushed out.Randall rushed towards the entrance of the gallery, following closely behind.The fire grew larger, and a horizontal beam fell down, blocking their way.The scorching flames were raging everywhere, as if the tongues of fire were devouring everything in their path. The thick smoke made people's eyes water incessantly.Randall stood in front of Dalton and said, "I will charge ahead, you follow me, and Nancy won't get hurt!""Get lost!"Dalton put the person down and prepared to carry them out.Just at that moment, a jet of water came in and extinguished the fire in front of the three people.Dalton grabbed Nancy and rushed out.Because the surrounding people didn't know if there were any people inside, they dialed 119.The a
Russell and Zoey faced each other, lifting the veil, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.He took Zoey's hands.The pupils of the two individuals reflected each other's faces.From past lives to present life and even to future lives, throughout countless generations, they will always be together!The emcee said, "The couple bows three times to each other. With the first bow, the couple holds hands and respects each other like guests, walking together in love and harmony!"Russell and Zoey bowed to each other."Two bows, heads touching, may you have a precious child until old age!"Russell and Zoey listened to the emcee's command. Russell lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Zoey's smooth forehead, and the two of them smiled at each other."Three bows, faces pressed together, happiness and joy forever!"Russell tilted his head and pressed his cheek against Zoey's, whispering softly in her ear, "Zoey, I
Nancy tightened her lips as she heard one after another derogatory remark.Her body trembled slightly, and her fingers curled up.Dalton clicked his tongue and said, "What, did I make you angry? It seems like you really care about this bastard!"Nancy couldn't bear it anymore. She was about to leave, but the man grabbed her wrist."Let go!" Nancy glared at him, unable to speak loudly and could only scold him in a low voice.Dalton sneered, "I just wouldn't let go, what can you do to me?"Nancy swung, not letting go, and raised her other hand to slap the man's face.Because the cheers were too loud, only the people next to it saw it.Alissa frowned as she watched Dalton clutching Nancy's hand. "Dalton, you really have no manners. Not only did you not have a wedding when you got married, but now you're also entangling with your ex-wife after the divorce."She grasped Dalton's wrist and said, "Dalton, we may not be able to
Zoey knelt on the bed, looking beautiful with her eyes and eyebrows.The wedding dress complemented her porcelain white skin, making her even more delicate and alluring.The wedding dress was embroidered with intricate and complex patterns of gold and silver threads, with the golden phoenix appearing as if it was breaking through the clouds and soaring high, exuding a vibrant and luxurious aura.The hair crown on her head was somewhat heavy, all made of pure gold, with red gemstones embedded on it.Zoey held up the hem of her skirt with both hands and stretched out her feet, saying, "It's time to find me some shoes.""Are you in a hurry to marry me?"Zoey glanced up at the crown on her head and said, "It really felt a bit heavy."Russell got up and placed both hands on the bed, "Where were the shoes placed?""Just put it in..."Zoey was about to speak when Madeleine walked over and said, "The proper procedures still need
Carolyn looked at Russell with anticipation, she swore that this time she would never call him "uncle" again!Russell cleared his throat and said, "Sister-in-law!"Carolyn nodded heavily, "Okay, Russell!"She covered her mouth with her hand, she was extremely excited.She finally got it right once, it was really not easy.At the previous wedding, she called the wrong name and felt upset for a long time.This time, we could finally hold our heads high and breathe a sigh of relief!Russell asked, "Can you please ask Carsen to be lenient and let me pass smoothly?"Carolyn looked at Carsen and then blinked her eyes. "Since you didn't make things difficult for Carsen when he proposed, he naturally won't make things difficult for you."Carsen: "..."He made Carolyn come as if it was a mistake.He looked at Royce and Brodie with a helpless expression, "My wife has already spoken, you guys come."At that mom
A number of luxury cars were parked in front of the villa. Russell got out of the leading Phantom, and then he also carried Layne down.A big one and a small one stood there, looking up in the direction of Zoey's room."Mom, come quickly! Layne is watching me!" Evelin jumped up happily, with two little pigtails on her head tied with colorful bells, making cheerful and crisp sounds as she bounced.Leanna, Madeleine, Carolyn, and Nancy stepped forward, looking at the lively scene on the lawn below.In Woodmerrow in May, the weather was already warm, and the green grass was sprouting. The luxury cars and handsome men were truly pleasing to the eye.Leanna cut in, "Russell, the cunning old fox, brought Layne along, wanting to smoothly pass through the level."Madeleine looked shrewd, "That's impossible, how could Royce, Brodie, and Carsen just easily and happily take Zoey away from us?"Carolyn was not one to shy away from drama. "Even if
May 20th was a joyful day for Russell and Zoey.The wedding was five years late, and although there were regrets, it was ultimately successful.The Keller's manor and the Maddox's manor were forty minutes apart, a duration that Russell found particularly long. He was eager to meet Zoey and couldn't wait for those forty minutes to pass.Layne, who was supposed to be by Zoey's side, was taken away by Russell.Russell said to Layne, "Because you were a boy, you had to be with dad."Layne shook his head in disbelief, "You just use me as a scapegoat, you were worried that they wouldn't let you in."Russell pressed his brow, now seemingly nothing could deceive him.However, Layne still comforted him, saying, "After all, you are my father, and I want to make sure you marry my mother!"Alright, this son still sided with him.Layne changed into a black suit, with a small bow tie neatly tied around the collar of his white shirt, l
In the dressing room, Zoey took off the intricate accessories from her head and glanced back at Russell, who was tidying up his suit."Nancy was so pitiful, how could Dalton ignore her like that?"Russell hesitated for a moment and said, "I went to talk to Dalton, misunderstandings can be easily resolved."Zoey frowned, "But Nancy didn't want us to get involved in this matter, is she planning to leave?"Russell pursed his lips and walked behind her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "We'll see how things go. If they love each other, being together will bring happiness. But if they don't, being together will only be a torment. Let's just let things take their course."Zoey scolded him, "What if I wanted to leave?""Then I would pester relentlessly.""You kept pestering, yet you let Dalton go with the flow?" Zoey was puzzled.Russell sighed lightly and reached up to touch her earrings. "I let us go with the flow. As for Dalton, he
