ログインEmily's POVA few weeks passed, and I did not hear any news from Miss Long. It seemed there were no results from what I asked her to investigate. Just a few days ago, she said she had the perfect opportunity for me to investigate.She managed to get me an invite for the Lopez anniversary celebration. Although it was a normal ticket, I was glad to have it. Even Ethan, who had been acting strange for a few weeks, was soon all over me.His mother had been subtle about being against our relationship, but hearing that I managed to get an invite for this occasion, she started treating me as well as when Ethan and I first made our relationship public.She even offered to pay for my dress for the event.I happily accepted it. The two of us went out together. I did not have much free cash on hand since I paid the compensation. Dad was not doing too well, and so I had to loan him some money. This time, I deliberately picked a very expensive dress.Mrs. Cole looked at the price tag. I could tell
Gina's POVI did not expect to run into Julianna here, but I had no reason to explain myself to her.I let her believe whatever she wanted. Mrs. Lopez offered us an invite, and Mum accepted it. I felt it was a good thing. I could wait inside until it was closer to my time to perform.I immediately sent instructions to Lisa, asking her to bring me a change of outfits. Mum and I first got changed. Mrs. Lopez let us use a room close to the location to store our things."Let me help with your makeup," Mum said. She helped with my makeup, and as usual, I was looking beautiful.The three of us, holding the invites, walked over to the hall.It was an event center owned by the Lopez family. It was attached to the main house and was hardly opened to the public. This family was quite traditional."Aunty Grace," just as we stepped into the hall, we ran into Emily and Ethan.I looked at them. To be honest, I was surprised to see the two of them. The Greenwood family did not get an invite.So I gu
Grace POV"You... are you humiliating me on purpose?" the woman asked.Mrs. Lopez looked helpless. "I did not know you would need a makeup artist.""What do you mean you did not know? Could you not have asked?" the woman did not believe her. "You married my brother and think you can walk all over me? If not for our family's wealth, could you ever invite someone like GL?" she asked.I decided that this had nothing to do with me, so I just concentrated on my work."Could you make another exception and attend to my sister-in-law?" Mrs. Lopez asked me one more time. I had heard about people having difficult in-laws; this was my first time.Back then, Winter only started walking all over me after my husband's death and we moved into their house, but this was different."My assistant can handle it. I still have other things to do once I am done with your makeup," I remained unwilling."Sister-in-law, her assistant is also quite skilled. Would you let her do your makeup?" she asked in a soft
Grace's POV When I found out one of my longest customers was married into the Lopez family, I was shocked. I had stayed away from news about the family. According to Dad's arrangements, in order not to become a tool for those greedy relatives to use against my brother, my mother and I were not to make any contact with the family. It has been more than forty years since that separation. My brother never came, so I just continued to live. I still thought about him, mostly wondering if he was alive. At first, I wanted to reject my customer because I did not want to step into the Lopez family, but then Gina was going to the anniversary. That was the company her great-grandfather built, yet now we were outsiders. Since she was going, I thought that God was giving me an opportunity to visit the home I grew up in. So I decided to go, but when I woke up that morning, I was feeling very anxious. I could not think clearly. I was scared that when I saw the faces of those ugly relatives ag
Gina's POV I got to Karl's studio, and Lisa came out to welcome me. I went straight to Karl's office. "Hello," I said. He asked me to sit down. "We have an invitation from Lopez Corporation. They are having their anniversary celebration in two weeks," he said. I looked at Karl; he had a complicated gaze. "Is there something wrong with this invitation?" I asked. "No, Lopez Corporation is the biggest company in the country. It can easily rival the Williams family group. The only good part is that the two companies do not have many business clashes, so they coexist and even have a few collaborations," he paused and looked at me. "So, there is nothing wrong with the invitation?" I asked. "No, it's just that given your current status, we can only accept or reject this invitation; we can't make demands like the others," he said. I immediately understood that my arrangement would be entirely dependent on the Lopez group. "What is the big deal? At most, I will wear a mask all day. I
Ethan’s POV I did not expect Gina to be so different. it seems like she was even getting more beautiful every day. I had come to Prime Entertainment that day to sort out some things with the manager. I did not expect to run into Gina in the elevator. The last time, she had denied being GG, but I was almost certain. Yet, I had no evidence. This time in the elevator, I wanted to test her and see if she still had feelings for me. At first, I was confident, but seeing her reaction, I realized I might be wrong. Why would she leave Roland for me? “Talk is cheap. Did you not want to make it up to me? Let’s start with you recording a video and confessing what happened back then and who your girlfriend for three years was,” she said. She already had her phone up, ready to record. “What? Are you crazy? That would ruin Emily,” I said before thinking. I realized my mistake too late, I was here telling her I love while protecting Emily, who would believe that. I still loved Emily. The rea

Gina’s POV “How about you two discuss in private?” Roland asked. He seemed to notice that Karl was not cool with the situation, and I also did not dare expose my real identity in public. “All right,” Karl agreed. Roland led the way into the house and soon into a music studio. “Go in,” Roland tol
Gina’s POV After Rena’s visit, I noticed more changes. People greeted me in the mornings. Some even smiled. Conversations no longer stopped the moment I approached, and no one looked at me as if I were waiting to steal something off their desks. I began to feel more comfortable, believing that
Gina’s POV Days passed quickly. Ever since I solved Miss Bloom’s case and Roland stood up for me, my days at the company had become more peaceful. Although I didn’t make new friends, at least they no longer stared at me as if I had a horn growing out of my head. A few of them were polite. Rac
