The microphone was buzzing with noise, the clearest voice being Adrian's. His tone was high-pitched as he urged, "Julian, come quick! There's a good show to watch at 'Sound and Color'."

Julian finished his social engagement and walked out of the hotel, a cold wind hitting his face.

He raised his hand to loosen his tight tie, showing little interest in Adrian's "good show."

"No time, not going."

Adrian had anticipated his refusal, "Vanessa is the leading lady in this show. Really don't want to w

    Every move of the Voss family was under Julian's surveillance.He knew that Adrian was injured and Vanessa had run away, but he couldn't get away himself. The Old Master had injured his back and confined him to the Frost family, thanks to Maria's instigation.Jerry received the news and came, wanting to take Julian to the hospital, but the Old Master had confined him to the house. They had a family doctor, so at least his life wasn't in immediate danger."How is Vanessa?"After something like that happened, she must be the one having the hardest time."Miss Vanessa returned to her own home. It seems she was beaten at the Voss family's."Hearing this, Julian put on his clothes, ignoring the family's orders to leave. Maria was guarding downstairs, rarely seeing Julian stumble, she naturally wanted to kick him when he was down. Seeing him come downstairs, she quickly stood up. "Julian, are you going out? Your great-grandfather said you can't go out.""Get out of my way."Julian didn't ta

    This wasn't a rental apartment, nor a hotel.The bedding was soft, the surroundings felt oddly familiar. She strained to open her eyes, and saw the ceiling from her childhood memories. Thinking it was all a dream, the door opened and someone sat down beside the bed.It was Evelyn.She was crying.Vanessa's eyelashes fluttered, showing signs of awakening, "Fan Auntie…"Her arms and legs ached, her bones felt like they’d been rearranged. The discomfort throughout her body told her this wasn't a dream."Vanessa." Evelyn leaned closer, "You're awake?"Vanessa sat up, the hangover bringing a splitting headache. Last night's memories were a hazy jumble. She looked at Evelyn, "...How did I get here?"Last night was Evelyn's birthday, she went to the party, had some drinks, then went to find Adrian. What happened after that?"You got drunk yesterday." Evelyn couldn't bear to tell her the truth, not wanting to hurt her, "So I had Perry bring you here. Are you hungry? I'll have someone prepare

    The reception was almost over.Vanessa and Julian didn’t reappear.Perry was the first to notice something was wrong. He left early and searched the entire hotel, almost demanding to see the security footage. Seeing him running around breathlessly, Cliff sat back and watched the show. Maria adjusted her shawl, leaning closer to Cliff’s ear, “What’s going on?”Most of the guests had already left.Maria and Cliff were waiting for Julian.“I don’t know.”Cliff vaguely guessed it had something to do with Vanessa, with Julian being dragged in as a bonus.He glanced at the head table.Maria scoffed, “Who do the Voss’ think they are? I knew I shouldn't have come to put up with this.”“What's wrong?” Cliff acted like a dutiful son, pouring tea and offering water to Maria.“It’s Evelyn. I went to say hello, and she was so cold and indifferent.”Evelyn knew Julian’s birth mother and looked down on Maria’s underhanded tactics to get where she was. It was only natural that she would treat her dis

    The location was arranged by Adrian. Julian was at the same table as Vanessa, who was with Evelyn. Perry had taken his seat early.Julian tapped his cigarette ash, glancing at Perry's face in the reflection of the porcelain white dessert plate on the table. A typical pretty boy, good at deceiving people.Especially a stupid woman like Vanessa, it was effortless for him.Returning from Evelyn's side, Vanessa walked towards Perry, her eyes filled with wariness as she swept past Julian. Before she could sit down, she was suddenly called away.Separated by two tables, in the changing lights of the banquet hall, Vanessa standing in this environment, a sense of constraint and unease arose, a look that the Voss family's eldest daughter would never have.But she no longer bore the Voss name.Suddenly called away by a staff member and assigned to another table, these were not good people.Vanessa wanted to leave, but someone beside her grabbed her tightly, "Isn't this Vanessa? Long time no see

    After saying hello to Evelyn, Julian went downstairs. Cliff stood in the noisy crowd, narrowing his eyes, then scanned the room. He met Perry's eyes, who was helping to greet guests not far away.The two walked to a secluded spot in unison.Cliff took out a cigarette, the most common kind. He wasn't Julian, not the most favored child of the Frost family. In the eyes of the old patriarch and Frost's father, he was mostly Julian's slave, or a stepping stone for him to climb upon. Even the cigarettes he smoked were a grade below.Both were from the Frost family, yet their status and position were worlds apart."Where's Vanessa? Did you come alone?"Perry lowered his eyes, adopting a gentlemanly demeanor. "I came with Mr. Voss. Vanessa will be here later.""How's your relationship been lately? Good?""Of course, I'm about to propose to her."These words sounded overly confident to Cliff. He suppressed a faint, mocking smile. "Is that so? Congratulations, then. But you should be careful of

    "What exactly do you mean?"Adrian wasn't stupid. He exhaled smoke, scrutinizing and contemplating, then chuckled after a moment. "Julian, you're quite something. You couldn't stand her back then, and now you're suddenly smitten?"This wasn't a big deal."What, do you need me to fetch her to ease your boredom?"With someone like Julian, not denying was often the same as admitting.Leila hid outside the door, tears streaming down her face. She was fragile to begin with, hadn't experienced such turmoil. Suddenly taken in by Julian, she lost her peaceful life, only to become a plaything they could send back and forth.But that wasn't the worst part.The worst part was Vanessa.Standing in front of the music store, Vanessa held an umbrella and gazed at a violin inside for a long time. The violin had a clear price tag, a sum she'd have trouble scraping together.The agreed-upon lesson time had arrived.She reluctantly left.As Leila was about to get out of the car, the driver hurried to ho
