MasukThe moment Amanda was knocked into the swimming pool, a sentence suddenly flashed through her mind: Flaunt your love, and it’ll end in a flash!Splash! Amanda fell into the pool.The sensation of suffocation struck instantly. Despair, helplessness, and a bone-chilling touch surrounded her. After choking on a few mouthfuls of water, she didn't even struggle. Her limp body sank directly to the bottom of the pool."Ah!"The crowd watched in shock as Amanda lost consciousness. The pool water was crystal clear, allowing everyone to see her condition perfectly. The man who had collided with her was also stunned."It wasn't me! Someone pushed me from behind, and I just stumbled into this lady!" The man looked at Amanda, who was lying still at the bottom of the pool, with frantic terror."Wife!" A low roar suddenly erupted.Everyone turned to see Benjamin’s agile figure dive into the water with a loud splash. He swam desperately toward Amanda. Seeing this, Brad turned to Robin: "Go prepare th
Patrick was dressed in a vibrant red suit—bold, handsome, and devilishly charming, yet with an underlying edge of coldness. A soft, knowing smile played on his lips. Under the brilliant glow of the crystal chandeliers, his red suit appeared even more intense and fiery.Standing before the microphone, Patrick playfully winked at Amanda.Amanda: "...""Apologies for being late. I just got off the plane, and the traffic on the way was a bit of a nightmare," Patrick began with a smile. "Though it sounds like an excuse, the traffic was indeed the reason. To receive the award for Cindale’s Second Top Entrepreneur today, I want to thank one person—the most important person in my life. Without her, I wouldn't be standing here today..."Patrick spoke eloquently for several minutes before stepping down. He never mentioned the name of the person he was so grateful to, but Benjamin knew exactly who he meant. Because of Amanda’s formulas, Patrick’s business had skyrocketed this year.Benjamin felt
Cindy suddenly grinned and said, "I like muscular men."Calvin: "..."He couldn't help but ask, half-annoyed, "You woman... So, what Terry said about you hiding a bunch of photos of muscular men on your phone is actually true?"Cindy was stunned. Her face turned a deep shade of crimson, and she stammered, "D-did Terry... really tell you that?""Oh, every time he sees you hugging your phone, he gets worried that your soul is being lured away by those guys," Calvin teased, finding her reaction adorable. Her large almond eyes were wide with shock, and her lips were slightly parted, revealing her white teeth.Cindy: "..." That little brat just threw all my dignity out the window!"Ugh! That stinky boy! Next time I see him, I’m going to teach him a lesson. How could he blab about that?" Feeling utterly humiliated, she scrambled back inside, not daring to look Calvin in the eye.Calvin watched her scurry away and felt a strange tug of endearment in his heart.---At 4:00 AM, Tara’s surgery
A faint, gentle smile appeared on Howard’s handsome face. "Cindy, I just came to see little Charles."Cindy’s brows furrowed. "How do you have the nerve to show up?" Her eyes held a distinct chill.Jacob looked at the beautiful Cindy, a flash of admiration crossing his eyes. He said with a charming smile, "Miss, Howard is the child's father and has visitation rights. We only came to take a look; we aren't here to cause trouble."Only then did Cindy really look at Jacob. She had to admit, all of Benjamin’s friends were stunning—each one more handsome and alluring than the last.Using his charm as a convenient excuse to back down, she softened her stance, though her tone remained sharp. "Fine. For the sake of your handsome face, I’ll let you both in."She carried little Charles inside, followed by Howard and Jacob. After the two men greeted Irene, Howard sat down beside Cindy."Charles wasn't too frightened after he got back, was he?" The thought of Dominic’s actions still made his bloo
Amanda nodded softly. "Yes. I need to be well-rested to perform Tara’s surgery properly."She sent a message to her assistant, Skye.Amanda: [Skye, I have a surgery tonight. Come and assist me.]She rarely called on Skye unless it was a major operation.Skye: [Amanda, you finally reached out! I’ll be there.]Amanda sent the address and a list of necessary supplies to Skye before lying back down to sleep.Benjamin stayed awake. After ensuring she was sound asleep, he kissed her forehead tenderly and slipped out of bed. He went to the study and called Robin."Sir.""Any movement from Jordan?" Benjamin asked, standing by the window."Sir, he’s preparing for the Global Business Summit. It’s a perfect breakthrough for him, and he won’t miss the chance. The pharmaceuticals produced under his name are quite famous; it won't be hard for him to secure partnerships."Benjamin instructed, "Understood. The moment Patrick returns, contact me. Block every opportunity Jordan has. I want to force the
Benjamin replied with a cold detachment, "I will be there."As soon as the words left his lips, he pulled Amanda away.Cindy couldn't resist a parting shot. "Miss Parker, did you really rush all the way over here just to ask if Benjamin is going to the summit?"Joey maintained her smile. "Indeed. My father is coming for the event to discuss a partnership with the Schmidt Group. I simply wanted to confirm if Benjamin would be attending.""Oh! So that’s how it is. Well, I wish you a happy partnership," Cindy said with a beaming smile. There was no fun in exposing her outright; Cindy preferred to watch her act. Since Joey had the nerve to lie, they certainly had the nerve to pretend to believe her."Ah! Come to think of it, the summit is only a few days away." Cindy turned to Irene. "Auntie, let's go to Maison L tomorrow and pick out a stunning outfit for Amanda. We'll make sure she’s the most beautiful woman by Benjamin’s side."Irene nodded with a smile, catching Cindy’s drift. "Of cou
