I’m so sorry for the late update. I had to travel and returned to school so I’ve been extra busy
As soon as Valencia stepped out of the car, Aviva bolted out of the mansion and only stopped in front of Valencia. Aviva gripped her chest and cried out dramatically. “Sister-in-law, come here. How could you do this to me? How could you?” She cried out pitifully while pointing at Valencia. Valencia's expression changed, and her eyes fell on Corbyn, who alighted from the other end of the car before they landed on Aviva again. She quickly stretched her hands toward Aviva in order to cover Aviva’s lips and shut her up… Unfortunately, Aviva wasn’t willing to be shut down by Valencia, and she expertly evaded Valencia while screaming at the top of her lungs. “I saw that kiss. Valencia, I saw that kiss. Valencia, you bitch, I didn’t know you and my brother had become a thing. I’ve been an advocate from the beginning; how can I be the last to know, you traitor?” At that second, Valencia and Corbyn’s eyes made contact. Valencia’s face flushed in embarrassment, and she quickly lowered
“Do you want me to come?” As soon as the words spilled past Corbyn’s lips, Valencia’s eyes flew wide open and she lifted her head to stare at Corbyn in shock. Although they both understood that Maverick, that person is a scum, isn’t Corbyn being too protective? Although Maverick is a scum, after Corbyn and Valencia’s kiss last night, Maverick will have to be careful in order not to be on the news. Valencia shook her head and held her bag strap tighter. She pressed her lips together and hung a fawning smile on her face. It was as if Valencia was expressing that she believed that Corbyn was joking around with his words. “Big brother Corbyn is cooped up with work; I have already taken enough of your time by letting you bring me here. I’ll go down now.” Without waiting for Corbyn to respond, Valencia opened the passenger door and carefully alighted from the car. Valencia shut the door and waved her hands to Corbyn, a beautiful appreciative smile on her face. Corbyn straightened
Valencia sat stiffly, and her eyes fell on Maverick's hand, which intimately slung around her shoulder for the umpteenth time, her mind racing. Although Valencia knew that Maverick was a jerk and his thoughts couldn’t be discerned, Valencia believed that Maverick would be a bit tamed due to the news of her and Corbyn's kiss. But it turns out that this slag scumbag can't be tamed at all! Thinking about how she'd have to be and bear this person's presence for the next few months made Valencia begin to rethink her agreement. If Valencia knows that Maverick will be this shameless, she'll never have signed that damn contract of his! Even though Maverick was shameless enough to pull her into the room and almost bullied her right in his entertainment company when an audition was about to start, Valencia didn't expect that Maverick would be brazen enough to stick to her and shamelessly wrap his hands around her shoulder intimately and walk her to the audition room. It can
The directors, producers, and judges in the audition room let out a pronounced sigh, a slacked expression, and pronounced lines on their faces. Although they were never superstitious, to begin with, they should have expected that when Lily Wright began the audition, other people who came in after her would fail to leave the impression they wanted. Currently, the judges have auditioned over a quarter of the contestants, yet none of the contestants so far have caught their gaze. None of the auditioned candidates had half of what they sought in the female lead! Actually, one won't say that all the candidates the judges auditioned were completely mediocre and useless… It's just that whenever the female candidates stepped into the room and set their eyes on the peerlessly handsome President Maverick, they'd be completely stricken and lose their composure. And by the time the candidates completed their performance, their eyes would be filled with obsession and wants. It's ri
Valencia lazily leaned against the chair and leisurely twirled her hair, her expression calm. She knew Tatiana purposely used her words to demean Valencia. Moreover, Tatiana believed that Valencia firing back would lessen Maverick, which Tatiana believed that Valencia wouldn’t dare. However, after all that slag jerk had done to Valencia. It's right to say that Valencia’s heart is dead. Had Valencia wanted to ignore Maverick, she'd have closed one eye and let Maverick do as he wanted, but knowing that persistent jerk, he'd never stop in getting what he wanted. And Valencia was afraid that the bastard might want to cause trouble for the Cirillo family on the verge of stirring a response from her, so she agreed to his demand. “Truly, giving someone a few minutes of attention can make them believe that they are truly worthy. Your envious face is truly unsightly.” Valencia calmly retorted, her words meaning that Tatiana was speaking nonsense, and if it weren't for Maveric
Tatiana bit her lower lip and dug her hands into her palm, her shimmering eyes filled with tears, blinking rapidly. She righteously expressed herself in a soft and sweet, demure and docile tone. “Maverick, I didn't expect Miss Valencia to be so ungrateful. How could Miss Valencia accuse Maverick so wrongly and call you such a word? Everyone in the country knew that Miss Valencia was the one who persistently chased after you all these years, and when you agreed to the wedding, she was the one who fled from the wedding on the wedding day. How could Miss Valencia blame Maverick and claim that it's Maverick's fault?” Tatiana accused in grievance, her voice filled with righteousness and pain on Maverick's behalf Tatiana lowered her head and flashed a smug smile that was filled with hatred. That Valencia slut. She hadn't expected the twist, but she was totally delighted with the result. However, upon thinking about all the bad names that slut had called her and how much of a loss she h
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
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
