Oprah looked at him. "The past is in the past. I want to focus on the present and the future."Burgess closed in, pressing her against the wall.His gaze was filled with emotions that Oprah couldn't decipher."Where did you get all the money for charity in these six years? Did Alfred provide it?"Oprah didn't know that since she left, Burgess had never had a good night's sleep. He had slept with her urn initially. He took the pot for testing three years ago, only to discover that the ashes inside weren't Oprah's. That's when he realized Oprah had deceived him. He had used his resources to search for her but had failed to find her. Yet now, Oprah brought herself to him.These past few days, Burgess had been unable to sleep night after night.His mind was filled with images of Oprah and Alfred together."Alfred and I are just friends. I earned my money on my own..."Oprah's words were cut short as Burgess's large hand landed on her shoulder, trailing slowly until he reached her chest."
Zoey had never felt so embarrassed."Burgess, when you're done talking, let me know," she said gently, forcing a calm facade as she walked out of the room.The moment she stepped out of her room, her gentle face darkened.Was Oprah alive?How could she still be alive?Inside the room.Due to Zoey's sudden arrival, the once intimate atmosphere dissipated.Burgess moved closer to Oprah again.Unconsciously, Oprah took a step back.Her action pricked at Burgess's heart."Mr. Burgess, what business do you want to talk about?"Considering Burgess's unpredictable nature and her previous failure, Oprah knew she had to take one step at a time.Burgess gazed at her, sensing that she was keeping something from him."You like charity work. Come here tomorrow, and I'll take you to a place!"Oprah had no reason to refuse.She agreed, then turned around and left.Pushing the door open, she saw Zoey waiting outside.As soon as Zoey saw her come out, she immediately blocked her path and asked worried
Oprah listened attentively to Zoey's words, her eyes remaining calm and composed."Are you finished?"Zoey looked at her in surprise.Oprah stood up, towering over her, and remarked, "I couldn't care less, but why is the renowned star Zoey approaching me like a disgruntled woman?"After saying that, she departed with a cold smile on her lips.Watching Oprah's figure fade away, Zoey reminisced about the old Oprah. She had initially approached Oprah, Burgess's sister, because she was interested in Burgess. Zoey had tried to get close to Oprah to learn about Burgess's preferences... But things hadn't gone as expected. She had assumed that Burgess despised Oprah, his stepsister, but he liked her and even slept with her!Even though they weren't blood-related siblings, this kind of love disgusted Zoey!Furthermore, why should it be Oprah who won Burgess's affection?Zoey took a deep breath.Her manager called, "Zoey, there's news about the song you wanted earlier.""Really?""It's just..."
Kaleb explained, "Uncle Eric's identity is very mysterious. He won't show up unless Mommy is in danger.""No wonder when I was abroad, I only heard about you having bodyguards around but never saw them," Angela said as she enjoyed eating the turkey.Angela also had specialized bodyguards, which usually remained in plain sight within ten meters of her.Due to Alfred Jeffery's special status abroad, everyone around him would be affected, so people were sent to protect Oprah and her family.Ten minutes later, Eric appeared at the door, dressed in a crisp suit, emanating an aura that warned strangers to stay away.Angela's eyes lit up when she saw him."He's so hot," she exclaimed.Kaleb considerately handed her a tissue and said, "Wipe your mouth."Angela swallowed.Oprah knew what kind of person her best friend was. Angela seemed infatuated on the surface, but deep down; she harbored a secret.Despite being twenty-seven years old, Angela remained single and had never been in a relations
Kaleb didn't want Oprah to always take care of him so hard.Uncle Alfred was friendly.But it was too dangerous around Uncle Alfred. Kaleb preferred that Oprah could be with a safe man.Angela didn't expect the little guy to have this concern.She chimed in, "Although my dad wants me to enter into a business alliance with others, the rich men he introduces are not bad-looking."Oprah felt helpless with these two."Alright, but," she looked at Kaleb, "I'm only going on the blind date for your auntie. It's not to get you a dad."Kaleb didn't mind at all. "Got it."He thought about the romantic dramas on TV. Love usually came suddenly, and in these coincidences, love was most likely to ignite.He and Shaun were still too young to protect Oprah.It would be great if he could find a man to take care of Oprah during their stay in the country.Oprah had no idea about Kaleb's thoughts.After putting Kaleb to sleep that night, Oprah chatted with Angela."Are you going to see Warren tomorrow?"
The next day, Oprah bid farewell to Angela at five in the morning.Angela departed with a mix of anticipation and nervousness."Oprah, is my outfit alright today?" she asked, seeking reassurance.Angela had a natural beauty with big eyes and a gentle, oval face."You look stunning.""That's good to hear. Say, I'm always nervous and excited about meeting him. I'm afraid that he won't like me.""He won't," consoled Oprah. "You are a beautiful woman. Why would anyone not like you?"Grateful for Oprah's words, Angela nodded before leaving.Oprah returned to her room afterward."Mommy."Oprah found that Kaleb had woken up in her absence.She approached him, asking, "Did we wake you up?"Angela had started her preparations at three or four o'clock in the morning.Kaleb didn't respond directly but questioned, "Mama, is Uncle Warren, the man Auntie Angela is meeting, a good person?"Oprah pondered momentarily and answered, "Well, he's a good person for Angela."She reminisced about Warren, co
The crude language inside made Oprah frown.She finally understood why those well-mannered ladies would get so angry after each blind date.The man wasn't here for a blind date at all. He was having fun with his friends.Oprah was relieved that Angela didn't come. Knowing her temperament, Oprah wouldn't doubt that Angela would be upset for a long time if she came here today.Led by the receptionist, she entered a place that was supposed to be low-key and cultured, but now it seemed so vulgar.Several beautiful young ladies were in those men's arms, specifically chosen to provoke high-class women like Angela.When Oprah appeared, they sneered even more."Oh, it's someone wearing a mask.""Is she wearing a mask to hide her ugly face?"Their mocking voices filled the air.However, Oprah remained unfazed. Her gaze fell on Aaron Thomas, who was playing cards and drinking alone at the head of the table.She had wondered who could gather all the wealthy daughters of Manhattan for him to choo
Aaron couldn't fathom why Oprah would agree to a blind date.Before he could fully recover from his shock...Oprah turned to Eric and said with determination, "Let's get out of here."Eric escorted Oprah away.Still seething on the floor, the man muttered angrily, "Don't you even think about leaving! You'll regret crossing paths with me! Just mark my words!"The people around mocked and provoked him."Smith, you're such a coward. If you have the guts, fight back!""Yeah, stop whining!"Smith also wanted to confront Eric, but Eric's previous kick prevented him from standing up.After all, he had been pampered since he was young and had never experienced such grievances.He got up and cursed under his breath."I'll bring my men and make sure they won't leave unscathed."Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Aaron slowly approached him. His sharp eyes were filled with coldness."What did you do to her just now?""That bitch..."Since Smith was too dumb to understand the situatio
