The old Mrs. Lincoln came to take Ann away when they had to go out.When she noticed Ann was reluctant to leave, Priscilla also didn’t want her to go.Unexpectedly, Ann suddenly grabbed the corner of Priscilla’s clothes, she blinked her bright eyes and said, “Mommy, I heard from great-grandma that you and daddy will have a little brother for me soon. Is that true?”Priscilla was surprised.The old Mrs. Lincoln stiffened when she heard this.Even Fredrick, who was standing next to them, stopped what he was doing and looked at Ann in astonishment.Time seemed to have stopped at that moment!Ann was a little confused. After a few seconds, she realized that she had spilled the beans!She screamed and covered her mouth with her chubby little hands.She blinked her watery eyes and looked at Priscilla pitifully.“Oh Mommy, I didn’t do it intentionally! I didn’t mean to lie to you. I just wanted to stay with you! Great-grandma said that as long as you have a little brother, you won’t leave da
Priscilla closed her eyes, trying to ignore the strange grievance and sadness in her heart.The two didn’t talk to each other until the plane landed.After getting off the plane, Priscilla got into the car directly, followed by Fredrick in silence. The driver sensed that there was something wrong with them, so he cautiously asked, “Mr. Lincoln, should we go back to the mansion?”Fredrick nodded.As soon as they returned to the Lincoln Mansion, Priscila went straight into her room. She didn’t want to talk to him.Wilma knew that they would come back today, so she was happy and waited for them. But she was stunned when Priscilla kept a long face and entered the room without saying a word.Her heart skipped a beat when she looked at Fredrick who came in behind Priscilla and found that he also didn’t look well.Did the young couple have a quarrel?What was going on?Didn’t they go out for a trip? They should be delighted when they come back!Wilma asked worriedly, “Sir, are you ... okay?”
Those reporters also followed her there.“Miss Regina, you haven’t answered our questions. Are you feeling guilty?”“I heard that you and your sister don’t get along well, but the two of you are going to star in the same series this time. Is this the arrangement of the company or your own will?”“As a popular actress who has been in the entertainment industry for five years, you have always been playing the heroines. But this time, you’re going to be in a supporting role. What do you think of this matter?”The reporters bombarded Regina with sharp questions.The smile on Regina’s face froze for a moment, but soon she calmed down.She smiled and said, “You asked so many questions at once. Which one should I answer first?”The crowd became silent. Everyone looked at each other. Before they could do anything, they heard her gentle and calm voice again.“First of all, I must apologize to you for what happened a few days ago. But it was a private matter of my family, so it’s not appropriat
“I hope you can cherish and protect what you have now because these things will not belong to you soon!”“At that time, I hope you can still be as proud as you are today.”“What do you mean?”“You know what I mean. Regina, to play the heroine in this series is just the beginning. From now on, I will take back everything that doesn’t belong to you! Just get ready for the coming storm!”“Priscilla! How dare you...”Priscilla laughed as if she was mocking Regina for being over-confident. Then she turned around and strode outside.Regina was furious there. Her face turned livid. She stared at Priscilla’s back, but she couldn’t say a word.She clenched her fists. After a long time, she took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and followed Priscilla out.The dinner went well that night. Vines hadn’t got a good opportunity for so many years. This time, he finally got the investment and set up his team. Naturally, he was very happy.Since he was happy, he couldn’t help drinking much. As the
Vines frowned, feeling that the more he listened, the less he understood.But he didn’t bother to give a second thought. On the set, all he cared about was directing and he couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to anything else.So, even as she looked at him expectantly, he stood up and called out to the assistant director who was speaking to Priscilla and Mico, “Are you guys ready? Let’s do it all over again!”The assistant director replied, “They’re ready.”“Then here we go! Get set!”Priscilla and Mico hurriedly returned to their spots. With the shout of “action”, she smacked him hard in the face.Mico was slapped so hard that his head tilted. He gazed at her in disbelief.“You have the guts to hit me? Do you know who I am?”Priscilla snapped, her hands on her waist, “I don’t care about who you are! Even if you were God, you can’t play rascal... Ahhh!”Mico didn’t wait for her to finish and grabbed her hands behind her back.Priscilla naturally refused to go down without a fight so
However, when people finally found it, they realized it was only a work account in which there was nothing but work information.Not to mention Priscilla’s personal life.People felt bored, but also more curious about her.After all, Priscilla was a very beautiful woman, if not just judged by the advertisement.On the other hand, Regina, whose fans previously bragged about how good-looking she was on the Internet, looked like a maid when she stood next to her much prettier sister.What people didn’t quite understand was why Priscilla got into the entertainment business so late and had to sleep with a director for a role even though she was incredibly stunning.Their curiosity was aroused by Priscilla. Plus, some of them had already heard of her name because she was Regina’s sister.They couldn’t wait to spread the word for Priscilla after her topics went trending throughout social media, so almost everybody began to know her shortly afterward.Since these were scandals, most people he
The makeup artist gave an awkward cough and said with a smile, “What a loving couple.”Ryan’s back was slightly stiff. But he slowly hugged her shoulders and said with a smile, “I have been busy for a few days. I came here as soon as I have time today.”Regina threw her head back in his arms. “I knew your work was always more important than me.”“How come?” He uncomfortably took her hands and said, “Well, someone is still making up here. Let’s go out and leave them alone.”She gave Priscilla a look with a hint of pride. But Regina still obeyed and went out with him.After they left, the makeup artist said, “Looks like they love each other. There are so many fake things in the entertainment business. I haven’t seen such a good couple in a long time.”Priscilla snorted and said no more.Soon, the makeup was done.She went out and practiced her lines while Regina went to put on her makeup.Ryan was probably free today, so he had been staying with her.The two were so close that many peop
Several staff members from the same crew came in.Kevin, the assistant director was in front, followed by the hotel attendant with the room card.They were in a hurry, but Kevin was a bit stunned when he saw Vines standing in the room safe and sound.“Director Vines, are you feeling well?”Vines frowned, “Yes. Why?”“Well...” Kevin was a little confused, he took out his cell phone and said, “You sent me a message and told me that you were not feeling well, didn’t you? So, I hurry to take the doctor here.”Vines took a look at the phone handed over by Kevin and indeed saw a message sent to the assistant director from him. He frowned tightly. He looked around the room and found his cell phone in bed.He turned on his phone and scanned the messages.Amazingly, there was indeed a message sent to Kevin ten minutes ago.It was indeed from Vines, and the receiver was Kevin.What was going on?Seeing Vines holding his cell phone with a stunned look, Kevin was a bit worried.“Are you really al
The grand ballroom of the Aurelian Hotel shimmered under the glow of crystal chandeliers, casting a warm, golden hue over the sea of elegantly dressed guests. Tonight, it wasn’t a place of betrayal or whispered plots. Tonight, it was a temple of love, a sanctuary where Priscilla and Fredrick would finally seal their bond.After everything they had endured—the deceit, the threats, the near-death experience—tonight was a testament to their resilience.And tonight, in front of the world, they would celebrate it.Priscilla stood in the bridal suite, her reflection staring back at her from the full-length mirror.The gown was breathtaking.A masterpiece of intricate lace and delicate pearls, the off-shoulder design framed her collarbones perfectly, while the flowing skirt cascaded down like a waterfall of silk. A delicate veil, embroidered with shimmering crystals, draped from the crown of her head, a silent promise of the sacred vows she was about to take.She exhaled slowly, running her
The woman’s gaze was sharp, unyielding, her dark eyes filled with something dangerous—something primal.Hatred.She stood at the edge of the grand ballroom, her fingers tightening around the stem of her champagne glass as she watched Priscilla from across the room.Priscilla, radiant in her emerald-green gown, moved through the crowd with effortless grace, smiling, laughing, unaware of the storm brewing just beyond her vision.She doesn’t deserve any of it.The thought slithered through the woman’s mind like venom.She was supposed to be nothing—an unwanted child of the Waals, an orphan taken in out of charity. Yet she had grown up in luxury, had been given love, attention, and a family name.While she…She had been the outsider.The adopted daughter.The replacement.Priscilla was the real daughter. The one they truly loved.And for that, she had to die.She had spent years waiting, biding her time.Hiding the bitterness beneath practiced smiles. Perfecting the art of deception.But
Everyone was merrier as they celebrated.Lourdes felt a little bit awkward when she saw Ben.Ben, on the other hand, kept staring at Nancy.Although she had given birth, she was still as pretty as ever, but now it seems this pretty lady hates him.He wore a sullen look and kept staring.Andrei came over and tried to tease Him.“Hey Ben, you seem so lost staring at that pretty lady over there. Are you aware your recent ex is here? How do you do it? Nancy has given birth, definitely she is taken!”Ben stared at him coldly, “ I’m aware she has given birth, and as for Lourdes, we never really dated.”Ben thought of something, then smiled.He walked over to Lourdes.They chatted and kept smiling at each other and laughing so loudly.Lourdes enjoyed his company and wished that the relationship they had could become real.On the other hand, Nancy kept staring at them.She was having mixed feelings. Priscilla observed that her face didn’t look so good and she asked, “Best, are you okay?”Nanc
In other words, even though he was staying here by force, he could forget relying on her for food and drink.If you didn’t work, you wouldn’t eat.She’d thought that he’d be dissatisfied with her words.Unexpectedly, he simply looked coldly at her and said, “I’ve already dismissed that maid of yours.”Nancy blinked.“What?” Ben frowned.“You didn’t hear me?”“No, why did you dismiss my maid?”Ben sneered.“If I didn’t, was I supposed to wait for her to help you escape?”Nancy’s temper flared.“I already told you I’m not going to run. And in my condition, how far can I get?”Ben ignored her completely. “I have no faith in you.”She clenched her teeth and suppressed her anger.“All right, then. What am I supposed to eat and drink with the maid gone? You don’t expect me to make my meals while pregnant, do you?”Ben shot her a look.He seemed to think about it.“If you could, why not?”“Bastard!”Looking at the woman all puffed up like a kitten, Ben’s mood inexplicably improved.“Relax.
How could this man be so hateful?He knew she couldn’t do anything. He knew she had nothing left. Why was he still pressuring her to this point?Ben sneered.“If I decided to come after this child, what can you use against me? Your half-baked techniques? Or are you going to tell your father and have me beaten up like four years ago?”Nancy jolted.Endless cold raced down her spine.She looked at him icily. “You can certainly try.”Ben paused, then said, “But your father probably won’t treat me like this now, will he? After all, four years ago, I was just a poor kid with nothing, no match for his sweet daughter. But things are different now. I’m the heir to the Silvester family. Think about it. If he knew that his daughter was pregnant with my seed, wouldn’t he be so happy he carts you over in a horse-drawn carriage?”“Don’t go too far, Ben!”“I’m just telling the truth, aren’t I?”The two stood there as dead silence took over the still atmosphere.Nancy glared at him with eyes full of
Nancy’s birthday was coming. Priscilla was thinking of her schedule and found that she couldn’t celebrate her birthday.Since Nancy went abroad, she had only been in occasional contact with Priscilla.She didn’t even contact her father and brother.Priscilla couldn’t raise her opinion. She could only care about Nancy as much as possible, lest she feel lonely abroad.On Nancy’s birthday, Priscilla called her at the stroke of midnight. The call was put through soon.Nancy’s delighted voice came, “Priscilla!”“Happy birthday!”“Thank you.”Priscilla couldn’t help being amused by Nancy, “To be honest, have you missed me?”“Of course, but you never come to see.”“Don’t worry. When my godson is born in half a month, Fredrick and I will come together.”“What if it’s a daughter?”“It’s better. Ann can keep her company and take care of her.”Nancy shook her head, “You’re lucky. To be honest, it is really hard to be pregnant with a child.”Priscilla’s smile froze on her lips.“Can you manage i
She knew full well what kind of person Fredrick was.He looked cold, but in reality, if he acknowledged someone as one of his people, he usually took their business personally instead of being so cool about it.Frederick looked at her deeply.“Do you still remember what I told you when you asked me about Hadassah?”Priscilla started.She thought about it and realized.“Is it…”“Yes, I’m just that selfish. I don’t want someone to come back and disturb our little world, and I don’t want any trouble. So I don’t care whether we can find that child or not.”Priscilla had to laugh.“Why are you like this? They’re raising such a fuss while you’re here talking behind their back.”Fredrick leant over, smiling as he wrapped an arm around her waist.He snuggled in close to her face, the tips of their noses touching.“Yes, that’s how I am. I don’t care about anything other than you.”“Darling…”Priscilla hadn’t let it go yet, but her lips were already being sealed by his in another entangling kis
The restaurant was high-end for Milton, but it was not good enough.And the standards that William seemed to have made it quite clear that he wasn’t the type of person who’d eat at a place like this.He’d come today either because he was in a hurry or because something special had attracted him.Priscilla was curious about it, but they didn’t know each other too well, so she didn’t ask about it.The two went into the restaurant, chatting as they ate. The atmosphere was quite friendly.Still, she didn’t know if she was imagining it or not, but she felt that the way William looked at her wasn’t quite right.The passion he was showing wasn’t like someone who’d only met her once or twice at all.Priscilla put herself on guard as she asked, “Are you in the city for business, Mr. Curtis?”William replied, “I’m looking for a person.”“Oh? May I ask who you’re looking for?”William paused, then chuckled, “An old friend’s child.”At that, he didn’t continue. Seeing that he wasn’t willing to s
In the past, the Waals family was headed by Rose and Katherine, so to get Rose on your side, you pulled Regina to your side, only to get their family into the Smith family. Now that Rose’s in trouble, Regina and Katherine are facing charges, you’re afraid that it’ll affect you or the Smith family, so you’re trying to give her the boot and come back to me. Do you think everyone’s as stupid as her, Ryan? That they’ll just stand by and become your plaything after you feed them your lies?”Ryan’s expression grew ugly.“What are you saying? Am I such a person in your mind? I’ll admit that things aren’t good between me and Regina right now, but things hadn’t been going well even before this mess. I’m not trying to give a coup de grace here!”Priscilla had to laugh at his audacity. “You’re not trying to give a coup de grâce? You’re serious, Ryan Smith! Do you even believe your own words? I’m telling you, I would have respected you more if you took responsibility and still stood with her, but
