All her worries earlier were gone as she saw Michael’s polite treatment towards her daughter. During lunch, Marga and Jane chatted with each other happily. However, Michael and Bianca rarely glanced at each other as they seemed to feel awkward. They just sat there quietly and barely talked.
After a while, Michael couldn’t stand the atmosphere anymore. He found an excuse and walked out of the box.
As soon as Michael left, Jane held Bianca’s hand and said, “Bianca, Michael is always cool. Please don’t blame him. You are his fiancée. You can be more enthusiastic, honey,”
Bianca smiled and nodded obediently. The truth is, she was upset that Michael didn’t bother to chat with her nor ask something about her.
“Bianca
She looked back at Curtis, mind filled with doubt.“What?” Kendra asked. She somehow had a bad feeling.Surely, Curtis gave Kendra a car key and said, “We don’t prepare ingredients for you. You have to buy them yourself. Here’s the car key.”“What?” Kendra yelled and couldn't believe how people inside this castle treated her. Curtis was not kidding, obviously. Lendon was really an asshole.Kendra clenched her fists and kept silent for a while. Then, she grabbed the key and asked, “When will he come back? I assume I still have enough time to prepare his food,”“Mr. Martin has an important meeting today. He will be back before 8.” Curtis calmly
People who saw Lendon's fierce outburst got silent. One of the police wanted to stop Lendon, but his bodyguards stopped him immediately.A police officer who clearly recognized Lendon just murmured, “He is Lendon Martin. The renowned duke of this country,”Everyone stood still and didn’t dare to move.Lendon took his coat off and sneered, “I admire your courage. How dare you hurt her? You hurt my woman, you’re courting death,” He kicked the man’s belly heavily.Hit by the strong kick, the man screamed and curled himself on the floor.“What are you doing? Stop it!” Kendra quickly stood in the middle to stop Lendon's cruel act. They were in the police station now. What if th
The following day, Kendra had recovered, but she still felt panic when she thought about what happened yesterday. If it were not for Lendon's help, the man wouldn’t have let her go. As for the 10 thousand dollars that Lendon had paid that man, added worry to Kendra. Though Lendon didn’t mention it, she must pay him back. What was worse, she also broke Lendon’s Porsche. A sudden headache came to her.“What should I do?” Kendra screamed inside the bathroom. It seemed that she owed Lendon more and more every day. When could she leave here?“Miss Miller.” A maidservant called her from outside.It was the weekend, and Kendra needed to work.Kendra washed her face and walked out of the bathroom.
A sweet smile filled her pretty face, “Yes.” Kendra proudly said.Looking at her proud reaction, Lendon teased her, “They are so ugly.” He waited for her response after a while.Kendra felt frustrated immediately and lowered her head without saying a word.Lendon wanted to burst into laughter, but he’s in the mood to tease her. He picked a cake up and tried carefully. After a while, he said, “It tastes fine.”“Really?” Looking so adorable, she can’t help but felt happy hearing his comment.“I don’t believe that you made it,” Lendon added, still pretending not to be impressed with her cooking skill.
The atmosphere inside the dining room was dense and tension rose. Finally, Bianca told Kendra to sit down. They talked and laughed just like before. But, of course, Kendra was just listening quietly.“Kendra, where do you stay these days? Why don’t you call me?” Marga smiled and asked. She even served Kendra some food personally.“I live with my friend.” Kendra stared at her plate, hesitation was written on her face. She didn’t want to tell the truth. But, obviously, they were up to something. She was aware of how they wanted to humiliate her, including her own father.“You should move back. I misunderstood you last time. Forget what I said. Anyway, we are family here.” Marga chimed, trying to act like a real mother, but her action made Kendra want to vomit.
She seemed lost in her thoughts until she decided to went back to the castle. When Kendra got back to the castle, it was late at night. The castle was so quiet. Kendra sadly walked to her room. She kept recalling Marga’s words. Why exactly did they want her back? Was it because of her engagement? Did Michael say something about it? Kendra felt so annoyed, can’t figure out what was the reason behind the sudden change of her so-called family. “Lendon, don’t do that.” Suddenly, Kendra heard a woman grumbling in a flirty manner. She stopped walking and saw a room with lights on. She walked to it curiously and saw what was happening inside through the door. Lendon was holding an enchanting beauty and flirting with her. How could she bear to see this scene again? Kendra rubbed her forehead and left quietly. She didn’t
A moment of silence subsisted between them. Lendon waited for her answer while staring at her thoughtfully. Kendra didn’t expect that Lendon would notice her eyes. She cried too sadly on her way back here. Kendra hesitated and didn’t know how to explain. She doesn’t want Lendon to know how painful she felt when her father’s last words before she left home after dinner reminded her that she’s now totally an outcast. “What happened while you were at home?” Lendon’s voice came again. He knew something must happen. This woman was really so weak, he thought. “Nothing.” Kendra looked away, trying to hide her frustration. She didn’t dare to look at Lendon’s questioning gaze. “
In just a few minutes, she was dressed up and went down quickly. Lendon gave her a naughty smile when they climbed to the car. Kendra was forced to go out with him. They went to the CBD building. After they got off, Lendon told Kendra to follow him. She couldn’t understand why he had to bring her into this place.Many senior managers had been waiting for Lendon. Then, finally, he walked into a vast building, and his underlings were briefing him about a specific situation.“Mr. Martin, if we open it fully, we can make profits within six months. So this project will definitely be successful.”“Yes, Mr. Martin. We just need to make an advertisement by hiring popular actors or models. Then, we make sure everyone knows this place, and we can invest more.”
