Chapter 421

作者: River Fish
"Mr. Doyle, I swear I'll work my ass off! I won't let you down!" Joseph cried.

Ted had seen people cry harder than Joseph when they landed a role. Without exception, they were all young and still pure at heart. That kind of personality was gold for acting, but whether Joseph could actually seize the chances he was given was another story.

It wasn't just about acting well—he had to learn how to navigate people, too.

Ted had been through storms and could remain composed in most situations. With

  • Better Brother, Better Life   Chapter 550

    Gideon said, "Keep kissing me, and I won't be able to hold back.""Go ahead and lose control, then," Phoebe teased.He stared at her, taking in the fearless look on her face, trying hard to hold himself back. Finally, he asked, "What did Evan want?"Phoebe was right—Gideon was jealous. His brows were furrowed, and the worry in his eyes was as clear as day. That softened her heart. She didn't like seeing him jealous."When I woke up this morning, Evan texted me to say that Connor was sick and had a fever all night. He wanted me to go over to check on him. I called him and told him to stop bothering me. That's all. His later message was just an apology," she said.Gideon pressed his lips together. He wouldn't have thought twice about this if Connor's name hadn't been mentioned. But hearing it still bothered him, even though he knew that he didn't need to be. Connor was a perpetual thorn in his heart.Had Phoebe kissed Connor the same way?Gideon's gaze darkened. He leaned in and k

    It was because Gideon liked Phoebe that he wanted to be with her.She saw the complete seriousness in his eyes, and she didn't doubt the truth in his words. He wasn't the smooth-talking, flirty type. Everything he said carried real weight. He meant what he said, and one could trust him completely.She liked how reliable he was. He might look cold on the outside, but she knew how gentle he really was.Being liked like this felt amazing. Phoebe couldn't help throwing herself into Gideon's arms, her smile wide. He caught her easily, his hands sliding under her butt to hold her up off the counter. "What's this for?"She said, "I like you, too. I like you, so I want to hold you."Since Gideon felt like this was a dream, she would use ways that they both liked to prove to him that this was no dream. For instance, through hugs and kisses.He carried her straight to the bed, pressing her down and kissing her with fierce intensity. Her affection hit him like a powerful drug, and he lost c

    Gideon asked, "Do you have any better proof than that?"Phoebe's heart started racing under his intense, almost overwhelming gaze. It was full of deep affection, yet it also carried a commanding edge.His lips were perfect. She couldn't help it—she leaned in and kissed him first.They were pressed so close that one of his arms was enough to completely wrap around her waist. She felt like he was stealing all her breath; her hands instinctively reached up and gripped the hair at the back of his head.When the kiss finally broke, she was breathing hard.Phoebe pulled one hand free and let her fingertips slowly trace Gideon's still-damp lips. She whispered, "Feel that?"Desire flickered in his eyes, raw and unguarded in a way she had never seen before. The sight sent her pulse racing, a mix of nerves and excitement. Maybe he had looked like this the night before, too, but in the darkness, she hadn't been able to see clearly.Her heart slammed against her ribs."It's not enough," he

    Over the phone, Ian said, "Yeah. Connor's cousins, Daniel and Damon Russell, both graduated from top schools and are pretty capable. They really can't compare to Connor, though. Once he took the reins, he purged anyone who could threaten him and squeezed these two hard. They're basically on the outs with the Russell family now."They make some investments here and there across different industries and earn decent returns, but their capital is too limited to achieve any real scale. They can't do much. If they tried to fight Connor for control, even combined, they wouldn't stand a chance."Gideon said in a low voice, "Send them a few projects."Ian instantly understood what he meant. This was about using Daniel and Damon to stir up trouble for Connor. "Should I approach them directly and tell them?""No need. They've got ambition. Once they get their hands on solid projects and resources, they won't be able to sit still. They'll naturally start looking for ways to mess with Connor."

    Gideon had overestimated his self-control. He had barely slept last night.On the one hand, he felt as if he were dreaming; he was too excited to fall asleep. On the other hand, the woman he loved was right there in his arms. His body kept responding, turning it into pure torture. He'd even gotten up at one point to take a cold shower.Fortunately, Phoebe slept like the dead. She didn't see him looking so pathetic and awkward. So, first thing that morning, Gideon got up and went straight to the study.Even the study in the presidential suite was huge. He sat in the chair, staring blankly out the window, his face expressionless.Phoebe thought that Connor would soon give up and stop bothering her, but that was impossible. Gideon rubbed the faint circle of scar tissue on his left wrist, his mind drifting back to his childhood.He had been small and skinny at the age of five; no one would've guessed that he was the older brother when he and Connor stood together. Back then, Gideon co

    Connor really wished Phoebe could just come back and be like she used to be. Why couldn't things go back to the way they were? What the hell had gone wrong?The door opened. Connor knew it was Evan.Evan asked, "You awake?"Connor didn't feel like talking, but Evan had taken care of him all night. He closed his eyes again and muttered, "Thanks."He had never once thanked Phoebe."Want to eat anything?""No." After falling ill, Connor felt weak all over—so drained that even his emotions couldn't fully rise to the surface. "Just act like you don't know anything about last night."He'd lost it emotionally last night. It was embarrassing, no matter which angle he saw it from. He was relieved that he and Evan shared a long history. As such, he didn't mind being a little embarrassed in front of him.Evan was always good at talking him down, anyway. Phoebe used to soothe him like that, too. She could slowly calm the chaos in his head with her soft words. Her voice had this way of brin
