“Grandpa!”

In the city park, an elderly man in a white shirt and black trousers clasped his staff in his hand and sat on a chair.

Upon seeing the familiar man, Valencia’s eyes lit up, and she hurried toward the old man. A wide smile appeared on Valencia’s face, and she happily greeted, “Grandpa Black.”

Immediately, Grandpa Black stood up and engulfed Valencia in a fond, fatherly hug. “Little lass Valencia, how have you been doing?”

Valencia smiled sweetly, and she smoothly responded, “I am fine, Grandpa Black; how have you been doing?”

Valencia immediately sat next to Grandpa Black and handed him the bottle of water and drink she had just bought from a vending machine. “Grandpa, why are you suddenly here?” Valencia tilted her neck and asked with curiosity.

The first time Valencia met Grandpa Black was less than a month after she escaped from her wedding with Maverick.

    Moreover, Lessie wasn’t so childish as to do such a lowly thing—who dared to frame her? Also… “Why would I put my bracelet there to rat me out?” she defended anxiously.One of the crew members sneered coldly and retorted, eyeing Lessie as if she were a fool for asking such a stupid question. “Miss Lessie will really say anything to defend herself. Of course, you wouldn’t be naive enough to place the bracelet there—it must have fallen from your wrist.”Upon hearing this, Lessie’s expression changed, but in the next second, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly defended herself. “I… didn’t. I didn’t put on my bracelet all day.” She hadn’t put on her bracelet all day, so how could it have fallen from her wrist?Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed, and they couldn’t help but think that indeed, they hadn’t seen Lessie wearing her bracelet all day.Upon seeing this, a crew member’s expression changed, and her eyes flashed with a wicked glint.

    “Boss.” Assistant Cliff bowed and carefully placed the Rosevix land document on the table.Maverick casually arched his brows and opened the document to skim through. “Good.” He commented, his face and tone blank, making his emotions indecipherable.Assistant Cliff hesitated. Maverick could have broken in from the beginning if he wanted to. If Maverick wanted, those people would have been lying in the hospital, but wanting to go through such a risky thing—was it worth it? “Young master going like that, Miss Tatiana…”Maverick placed the document on the table and raised his head to stare at Assistant Cliff. He glared at Assistant Cliff in disdain, as if to say that it had been years since Assistant Cliff had been by his side, yet he still couldn’t understand Maverick well.Well, what did it matter if something happened to Tatiana?“Didn’t he like a show? I’ll give him something to watch.” Maverick picked up the document and strode out of the office.He? Assistant Cliff’s eyebrows furro

    Tatiana put on a skimpy, silky white night slip that reached her upper thigh and revealed a hint of her butt. She ran down the stairs, giggling like an innocent and pure little girl, and called sweetly, “Maverick. Maverick…” Tatiana paused in her tracks, and the happiness on her face disappeared upon seeing no sign of Maverick in the living room. The living room was so empty it seemed as if no one had been there the night before. Aurora’s eyes flashed with disdain, and she inwardly snorted. Didn’t Tatiana find her feigned innocence very disgusting? Although Tatiana kept smiling and giggling like an innocent girl, she had purposely put on a sexy outfit. It was obvious that nothing about Tatiana revealed innocence; rather, she was all about seduction. Still, she tried to cover it up with feigned cluelessness. Despite the thoughts coursing through Aurora's mind, none of them were revealed on her face. Instead, a patient smile hung on her lips as she reported in a calm and steady to

Very despicable.Valencia's expression turned cold, and she folded her arms.Although she had already expected Tatiana to act, she didn't expect that she'd do so blatantly. But what did she expect? Tatiana, that bitch, was fond of doing it. Doing the same cringe cries over and over. Isn't she tired and disgusted?Valencia's eyes turned fierce, and a cold smile appeared on her face. “Miss Tatiana, you claimed that you had been purposely schemed against by me. I submitted others' scripts, and no one claimed to have issues. For only Miss Tatiana to have this complaint, it's clear that some

    As soon as Valencia alighted from the car, it immediately drove off, as if the owner had been waiting for her to get out for a long time. Valencia snorted, her eyes cold, and her face contorted with disdain. She turned toward the studio and began making her way inside. What did she expect? That bastard only knew how to use and discard people. Tatiana would really do a great job as the Vandeberg family’s young madam. The driver had purposely taken a longer route, even driving past the same path four or five times before finally heading toward the set. Throughout that time, Maverick’s head had rested on her shoulder—sleeping. He had held her hand tightly and wrapped an arm around her waist, just like lovers would. It was as if he never wanted to let her go. Yet, when the car finally stopped… That bastard didn’t even thank her, nor did he spare her a glance, and… “Did you just get down from Maverick's car?” Aviva eyed Valencia suspiciously, hands on her waist, her reaction making i

    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.
