"What do you mean?" Louis stared at her intently."The ring is a symbol of love. Look at how perfectly crafted it is. Why not give it to your future wife? It's inconvenient for me to carry around while I draw," Lalisa tried to find reasons, attempting to persuade Louis to take off the ring.The ring was too intimate of proof.She didn't want to accept it.Moreover, she had already been nurtured and couldn't accept more extravagant items."..."Louis remained silent, his gaze fixed on her."Also, this ring is a bit big for me," Lalisa risked finding another reason."..."Louis's face turned slightly gloomy."My fingers are small; if I wear the ring, it will fall off. What should I do now? It's so troublesome.""After you finish talking, I have nothing to say," Louis coldly cut her off.Lalisa glanced at him and saw his irritated expression. She fell silent.Louis tightened his grip on her hand, looking at her intently. His tone turned cold and severe, each word enunciated deliberately,
"He's Louis. He's the kind of person who lacks feminine traits, so why does he value you so much?""You don't have feelings for him.""…"Lalisa reached out to take the ring off her pinky finger, suddenly remembering Louis's authoritative words, "Try taking it off again. I'll put it back on your finger."Pause. Her action involuntarily halted.In this situation, what should she do?She was cornered, so how could she escape?Lalisa felt increasingly annoyed, hesitantly pushing aside Louis's hand that was wrapped around hers. She exited the bed, walked to the balcony, and went outside.A cool breeze blew in, caressing her neck.Lalisa tightly clung to the hotel's bathrobe that she was wearing, walking to the balcony and gazing at the pitch-black night. Beneath the tranquil night sky, only the sparkling stars adorned the expanse above.Standing there alone, she sometimes felt her head cleared by the gusts of wind, then muddled again.She lowered her head to look at the ring on her finger
"Not much, really," Felicia said.Lalisa held the wine glass, smirking as she looked at Felicia, "You seem quite intrigued by the events from three years ago."She had asked before, and now she was asking again.Lalisa had a kind of intuition, and Felicia had some issues, but the specifics were unclear."Talk to your old classmate, chat casually. If you don't like me, I won't bring it up again." Felicia blushed slightly, chuckling. "Tell me a bit about how you've been in the past few years."Without waiting for Lalisa to reply, Felicia suddenly stood up from her seat, pointing at her Enma bag on the side. "Currently, I have a lot of clothes, many designer handbags, but the reality of my life isn't great. I don't know what I want."She spoke about her unsatisfactory experiences and confusion about what she truly desired.Lalisa listened quietly."Before, my family was so poor. I didn't have what others had. We were so poor that I had to borrow money for tuition. I had to work crazily a
She didn’t spend her entire day researching how to end their relationship, how to leave him.McKay, dressed formally, approached and held a drink in his hand.Louis glanced at him for a moment, coldly opening his mouth, “McKay, bring Lalisa’s former classmate to the Pacific Ocean for me. Don’t let them meet.”“Yes, young master,” McKay nodded.“Louis.”Lalisa looked at him in surprise, wondering what he was doing.“If you don’t meet, there won’t be any more problems,” Louis said coldly and seriously, pointing at his hair. “Keep cleaning.”“I’m not causing any trouble,” Lalisa said, kneeling in front of him, spluttering. “I really think there’s a problem here, Louis. Aren’t you curious about what happened three years ago?”“The problem is that three years ago, you drugged me, got in my bed; three years later, I caught you, and then I got a good look at you.”Louis summed it all up in a few sentences.Lalisa suggested that her drugging him three years ago was the reason for his curiosit
Lalisa obediently lowered her body and left a trace of her lipstick on his lips. But for the second time, Louis hugged her tightly and passionately kissed her, preventing her soft lips from responding. It was an intense, passionate kiss that felt like a gust of wind, engulfing all of her senses.As she left the study, Lalisa, after the second kiss, felt lightheaded, almost like she was on a rollercoaster.Just as she stepped out of the door, McKay approached the study, holding a file in his hand. He walked up to Louis and said, “Young Master, the Grayson family has started pressure tactics in the industry. I’m not sure when it started.”“No rush, you don’t need to gather all the information on the Grayson family,” Louis asked calmly, his finger brushing across his lips with the lingering warmth of Lalisa’s kiss.“It’s probably close enough. The Grayson family relies on the Sherwood family, and the Sherwood Group is deeply involved in various industries,” McKay replied.Louis took the
“So, three years ago, you were already suspicious of me,” Lalisa suddenly said, looking deeply into Jinx’s eyes.As soon as she finished speaking, Jinx, who was nestled in Jayce Sherwood’s chest, stiffened for a moment, looking a bit surprised at Lalisa. But her surprise quickly vanished.Jinx regained her composure and casually said, “I’ve always been cautious of you. I never stopped.”“Is that so?” Lalisa felt a sense of certainty in her heart and once again looked at the mobile phone on the tea tray. How could she get her hands on it?“Fruit juice.”A servant brought the fruit juice and left to prepare some desserts.“I told you she can leave now. Our relationship with the Grayson family has already ended, and Jayce and I are married. There’s nothing more to discuss between us,” Jinx urged Lalisa to leave. “Please go, and it’s best not to meet again in the future.”Every time Lalisa met Jayce Sherwood’s gaze, she felt tense.She had thought that getting married would make things be
The ToyLalisa glared at him in surprise and headed towards the study.Upon entering, she found a long, crescent-shaped table set up in the southeast corner of the study.The table was filled with various high-tech weapons, along with three large screens. Louis was currently adjusting something on one screen, and all three large screens simultaneously lit up, displaying various numbers and data.“What is all this?” Lalisa asked, feeling puzzled.“You’ve been gone for so long; did you plant a virus on your sister’s phone?” Louis stood in front of the computer, one hand holding an ice cream cone he was still enjoying, with an air of indulgence on his handsome face.She cooked, and he ate as much as he wanted.Lalisa was astonished. “How did you know?”He had a camera installed on her.“Your little sister’s private residence is right below, on the first floor. I just found out,” he said casually, teasing her a bit, then put the ice cream cone down and extended a hand towards her. “Give m
“I’d rather die than go on an outing. Normally, he’s already insufferable at home, and who knows what this delusional freak Louis will do to torment me?”“Master Louis says Miss Lalisa must go.”“I’m here to study. Isn’t he supposed to let me study ‘English Aristocratic Etiquette’? I haven’t mastered it yet,” Lalisa replied, using any excuse she could find, holding the cup in front of her.“Master Louis says you can study later. He’s waiting for you there,” McKay said.“I’m not going. I won’t go,” Lalisa said firmly, backing away. “I don’t care. Call Louis and tell him that if he insists on taking me today, then he’ll have to deal with my lifeless body.”She refused to indulge in his thrilling outing.The instructors stood to the side, watching the situation with astonishment. Their minds were filled with confusion.Seeing Lalisa’s determination, McKay frowned, sighed, and said, “Miss Lalisa, I apologize.”Apologize for what?Lalisa looked wary as she stood there.Deep down, Lalisa de
