Burke leisurely leaned against the leather sofa, his hands twirling the glass cup that held century-old liquor. He cast his dark eyes on Maverick, who had just stepped into the private room. “Eh! Brother three, asking us to meet in the club in such an early afternoon…” Burke's words came to a pause upon seeing the dark look hung on Maverick's face. Burke silently raised the glass toward his lips and chugged a mouthful of liquor, yet he didn’t part the glass from his lips after the chug. Burke’s inquisitive eyes fixated on Maverick's face as if gauging Maverick's facial expression before saying another word. The gloomy-faced Maverick strode toward the sofa placed at the epicenter and elegantly sat on it. He picked up a bottle of whisky and poured the contents into a neat glass cup. He picked up the glass cup and raised it toward his thin lips. Farrell placed the empty glass cup on the table, and his seductive, foxy eyes slanted bewitchingly. He cast a leisurely glance at Ma
Despite all the thoughts coursing through Cliff's mind, none of them were hung on his face. Cliff cleared his throat, straightened his back, and calmly reported, “The boss transfers 10 million into Miss Valencia’s account every month and gives her a black card coupled with the title, Mrs. Vandenberg, to elevate her. It's right to say that Miss Valencia is living more than the dream life of every lady out there,” he responded. Upon hearing Cliff's report, Maverick's brows arched, and he leaned against the sofa, his mind spinning with different thoughts, none of them reflecting in his eyes. He tapped the pen occasionally, each tap sending chills down Cliff's spine. “Then why is she unsatisfied and left?” Cliff's lip twitched. Of course, why wouldn’t she leave when you informed her that she was just a substitute the night before the wedding? No woman can accept that type of humiliation. Cliff cleared his throat and professionally responded, “It’s commonly known that women are
. Upon arriving at the amusement park, Valencia's eyes lit up, and her lips quirked up in a wide and beautiful, pure smile. It was as if she were a little innocent girl, her whole person very enthusiastic as she ran to the Ferris wheel. Valencia already expected that Corbyn would bring her home directly, but she hadn’t expected that Corbyn would bring her to an amusement park instead. Just seeing everything filled her heart with inexplicable joy. Corbyn strode toward the enthusiastic woman at a long and fast pace, his cold eyes now softened and his cold aura warmed. Corbyn knew the woman held inexplicable anger and sadness in her mind, and if she was taken to the mansion, she’d have to hide it with a smile in order not to worry the quadruplet and member of the Cirillo family. So he had chosen to bring her to the amusement park to make her experience that rare joy during childhood and let her unbottle the sad feelings in her heart. In fact, although Valencia acted li

A shameless slut will forever remain a slut. It's clear that she escaped her wedding six years ago in order to hook up with other men. It's just that Mr. Corbyn is truly innocent, and she
“What did Mom say?” A sweet, fond, and patient smile appeared on Valencia’s face, and she extended her hand to ruffle the quadruplet’s hair, tousling it gently. Orson, Hudson, and Iverson wore a white school shirt with the school badge fixed on it, a navy blue tie fixed on it, and navy-colored trousers. Meanwhile Iris wore a plaid skirt instead of trousers, her long hair falling to her back. The quadruplet blinked their eyes and fixated their eyes on Valencia. “To be good in school and watch out for each other,” they obediently disclosed. Valencia's heart softened and melted with joy. She lowered her head and plastered kisses on the quadruplet’s cheeks. “Mom will say goodbye now, okay…” Suddenly, Valencia paused. As if she had just recalled something important, she continued, “And if quadruplets have any dissatisfaction…” “We should tell it to Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Grand Uncle, and Grand Aunt.” The quadruplet intoned in a loud and clear voice. Valencia was extremely s
. “Miss Valencia, you are here.” As soon as Valencia stepped into the set, voices and greetings filled her ears. Today is the first day of the movie shoot. As the writer and according to the contract Valencia signed with Maverick, she has to be present on set. Valencia gently nodded her head and calmly responded in greeting while thinking that it was best she didn't see that Maverick jerk. Throughout the past week, Valencia has managed to hold her rage regardless of what that bastard did, and that was all because of Corbyn. He better not appear before… “Miss Valencia seems to be in a good mood.” Maverick strode into the set at a long and fast pace. He’s in a black suit that accentuated his broad shoulders, tall figure, and long legs, his figure tall and imposing, his aura cold and fierce. His cold eyes fell on the beautiful woman immediately. Today, Valencia is in a black suit. Her hair is swept back behind her head, flaunting her smooth and pale neck. She is wearin
Tears pooled in Tatiana’s eyes; her face turned pale, her shoulders and body trembling, and blood appeared on her mouth. Yet she stubbornly bit her lower lip as if she wanted to suppress the pain coursing through her. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she lowered her head pitifully. She cried out in a shaky voice and a bristly and pitiful tone, “Miss Valencia, I only wanted to apologize. Although I truly went too far, it’s fine if you don’t want to accept my apology. it’s just...” She pauses meaningfully, bites her lower lip, and subtly glances at Maverick. Her reddened eyes which were filled with grievances landed on Valencia. Tatiana lowered her head and hesitated. “It’s just that acting like this will make everyone think Miss Valencia is rash…” Suddenly, she paused; her eyes flashed with pain, and she began to gasp heavily while holding her chest, her expression filled with pain. Valencia’s expression immediately turned cold, clearly understanding what tricks Tatiana was playing.
“Tatiana only fell slightly after Miss Valencia’s push. Maverick already made sure that Tatiana received treatment. It’s nothing serious.” Tatiana tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, lowered her head, and finalized her words in a soft and coquettish, demure voice. Upon hearing Tatiana’s response, Amell’s eyes turned sharp, and his eyes constricted. He anxiously grabbed her hand, stared into her eyes, and reiterated, “Valencia pushed you?” Tatiana’s eyes widened in anxiety, and she hurriedly shook her head as if she had mistakenly made Amell misunderstand. “No. No. Big brother Amell misunderstands.” Tatiana suddenly lowered her head and squeezed her hands. She bit her lower lip, and her eyes darted about. “Tatiana already offends Miss Valencia countless times. Tatiana deserved to be slapped and pushed by Valencia when Tatiana wanted to apologize. It’s all Tatiana’s fault.” She cried out in a demure and docile, soft, pitiful, and innocent voice that unconsciously tugg
A few decades ago, in a gambling center, Butler Leo met a competitor.This competitor was a wealthy man who didn’t know how to gamble, and as a result, he lost a lot of money to Butler Leo. However, the most interesting thing was that this person wasn’t annoyed at all and instead chose to be Butler Leo’s friend.Soon, they became such close friends that Butler Leo started helping him deliver some work—and soon he had already joined the illegal organization.The organization paid him a huge sum and gave him a spy mission: to take over the Vandenberg family and make everything belong to him.At that time, Blauch Vandenberg had just married his beautiful wife. The couple had been in love and wanted to have their baby. Unfortunately, one year, two, three, four, and five years passed—they couldn’t get a child regardless of how much they went to the hospital.While both of them thought that this was just an ordinary thing, or they hadn’t tried their best, what they didn’t know was that Butl
Immediately the gunshot rang, blood spurted from Butler Leo and the guard who had just handed the gun to Maverick.Maverick had just shot both of them!Upon seeing them collapse on the floor, Zan's expression changed, and he sprang up.Zan pointed at Maverick and growled, his voice filled with rage, “Maverick, what do you think you are doing?”Zan was in control. How dare Maverick go against his wish? Did Maverick think Zan couldn’t end him with a move? How dare he?For the first time, Zan's eyes showed a slight trace of anxiousness. “Call the doctor to treat Butler Leo,” he declared and immediately directed a piercing glare at Maverick.When the Vandenberg family had dumped him, the only one to support and boost his morale was Butler Leo. He'd never forgive himself if Butler Leo was in danger because of him.Maverick’s lips slowly curved up, and a faint smile appeared on his face. The solemnness on his face had already disappeared. He retorted calmly with one word, “Guess!”Before Za
Immediately, Tatiana was lowered so much that with just a little stretch, her feet would sink into the acid completely.Tatiana's face was as pale as a sheet, and she tried to fold her legs. Tears were now streaming past her eyes rapidly, and her whole elegant and innocent image was tossed into the wind. She kept screaming for Maverick to save her.Zan indifferently leaned against the chair and propped his chin. “Let me tell you a story. One day, a sick boy met a sick girl in the hospital, and since then, they have become close friends. So close that they even rolled the sheets. That boy was me, and that girl was your lovely and innocent Tatiana,” he revealed, a wicked and tyrant-like smile on his face.Upon hearing this, the crowd's quietness immediately broke, and they mumbled to each other, their eyes now filled with disdain as they fell on Tatiana.Upon hearing Zan's words, Tatiana's heart skipped a beat, and it began to thump against her chest.Zan folded his hands behind his hea
"Young Master Maverick, Grandfather Blauch Vandenberg, dear aunt and uncle, it’s been a long time; have you missed me?" The dark chuckle of the person with an altered voice suddenly reverberated in the mansion.Seeing the stunned reaction on their faces, a faint disparaging chuckle filled with anger spilt past his lips."It’s Zan," the person from the other end declared, the alteration in his voice already eliminated, revealing a familiar voice. Interesting.They already made themselves all about the Vandenberg family and didn’t care about the one they killed.Upon hearing this, the crowd's petrified expression changed to one filled with disbelief.Zan? Young Master Zan Vandenberg is alive?A hushed mumble filled with shock began to pervade the hall.Zan Vandenberg? Who is Zan Vandenberg?Although most of the new generation did not recognize this name, it wasn’t the same for the old generation.There was a history whose mention was forbidden in the Vandenberg family, and as a result,
‘Ahhhh, help me. Save me. Maverick, please save me. I don’t want to die…’The sudden cry of Tatiana and the video of a pale Tatiana and Valencia hanging above a dangerous pit suddenly took over the screen.Valencia. Maverick’s expression changed, and his hands balled into fists.Even though Maverick wanted to pronounce that name so badly, he didn't.“Valencia," Aneira and Aviva cried out and sprang up in shock, their hands flying to their mouths.Corbyn and the Cirillos’ expressions turned cold, and they immediately swept a cold glare filled with killing intent at Maverick and the Vandenberg family.It was clear that they were saying that if anything dared to happen to Valencia because of the Vandenberg family, then they would never let go of the Vandenberg family in this lifetime.The two families would be nothing but enemies from then on, and they'd do everything to see that the Vandenberg family was destroyed.The sudden ringing of Maverick's phone broke the tense atmosphere in the
“Valencia…”Maverick’s legs rooted to a stop upon finding no trace of the woman in the bedroom; his brows knitted slightly.Nevertheless, Maverick placed down the platter that held neatly cut fruit, a bottle of water, and a glass of warm milk on the table.Instantly, Maverick strode toward the bathroom and pushed the door open.Upon finding no trace of Valencia, his calm facade broke and his expression changed.Regardless of how fast Valencia could be, she wasn’t supposed to have left the room considering the state he had left her in.Valencia would need to shower and change her dress.Not to mention that Valencia knew that Maverick went to get warm water, so why would she leave without waiting for him to return?Immediately, a bad premonition crept into Maverick’s heart.Nevertheless, his eyes were calm, and he had a hold on his composure.However, anyone who knew Maverick well enough would know that that was the calm before the storm.Maverick picked up his phone and dialed Assistan
Valencia blinked, rubbed her eyes, and yawned for the umpteenth time.Due to the pregnancy, Valencia’s sleep had increased a lot these days.Although Valencia had tried to prepare herself, she didn't expect that she would still have the urge to sleep at the party.It’s just been a few minutes since she arrived at the Vandenberg family—how can the urge be so strong?As if noticing Valencia and her inner dialogue, Blauch Vandenberg paused in his tracks and turned to Valencia with a sigh. “Don't hold it in. Go in and rest. Grandpa will send the maid to call you when the party starts,” he conveyed.Upon hearing this, Valencia’s eyes lit up, and she broke into a smile. “Thank you, Grandpa.” Valencia nodded enthusiastically and took a step back to leave.“Miss, I'll bring you to the guest room,” one of the Vandenberg maids politely articulated with a bow.Valencia nodded and allowed the maid to lead her into the guest room. “Young Miss Valencia, please call this maid if you need anything,”
This jerk! Valencia's expression changed, and she dodged, evading his lips before they could land on hers.This fight became a tugging between cat and dog?Suddenly, Valencia stopped struggling, and she glared at Maverick coldly, her eyes flashing with disdain and exasperation.Valencia scolded the shameless man who now focused on placing kisses on her neck and cheeks due to her refusal, “Mr. Maverick, could it be that you have fallen in love with me? Look carefully; I'm Valencia. Valencia. Your Tatiana is at the party. Outside of this restroom.”Maverick’s throat rolled, and he grunted, “I know.”If only the woman knew how hard it had been to control the urge to strip off her dress and take her hard right now so much that everyone at the party would know that she belonged to him.Under Maverick's dark gaze, Valencia couldn't help shivering, wanting nothing but to escape this temperamental and eccentric Maverick, but all to no avail.Suddenly, Valencia's brows furrowed. If he knew, th
“Excuse me.”Unable to hold it anymore, Valencia quickly took a step back and fled to the restroom while trying to appear calm.Immediately Valencia stepped into the restroom, she shut the door behind her and began to pace nervously while resisting the urge to tug and tousle her hair.Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!!! What had she done?Grandpa Black… No. Valencia facepalmed herself and tried to recall all the conversations.Grandpa Black had always been interested in matchmaking Valencia to his grandson and wanted her to marry his grandson.It's all because of… Ahhhh!What about Grandpa Black being curious about her and her quadruplets' father's interaction?Grandpa Black must have been asking just to know the details and know how to arrange things between Valencia and Maverick.Boohoo!The more the thoughts coursed through Valencia's mind, the more she wanted to sit down and cry an ocean.Valencia never expected that she'd fall into someone's plans. Hell. Never did she expect that the someone
