Priscilla turned to look out of the window. It was already December. The New Year was coming after half a month. The shops on the street had been decorated with festive stickers.The streets were bustling with people, showing the vitality of the city on the cold winter night.She said in a low voice, “Over the years, I have often warned myself not to have the will to get something because once I have the will, I will be very depressed when I lose it. So I know what she meant. I will keep my heart and prevent the worst situation from happening. But if it happens one day… I believe I will also go on well.”Suddenly, her hand was held by a warm hand.She was stunned and turned to look at Fredrick, only to find that he was also looking back. His eyes were deep and firm.“You won’t be depressed and there will be no the worst situation. I promise.”Priscilla’s heart seemed to be pinched by something. It was a slight pain, but meanwhile, she was surprised and touched.She made a big smile.“
Priscilla was working when she suddenly received a call from Frederick.He asked her if she was free at noon and asked her to find him. Someone wanted to see her.She was a little surprised. She didn’t have anything else to do at noon, so she agreed.At noon, Priscilla went to the Lincoln Group. As soon as she entered the office, she found that besides Fredrick, Paul Romans was also there.Priscilla was a little surprised and asked with a smile, “Fredrick?”Paul looked at her with a smile. The more he looked at her, the more satisfied he was.How could she be so beautiful?Her eyes and nose were the same as Stefanie Marion’s in his imagination.Taking a look at Paul, Fredrick said in a low voice, “He is here for you.”“For me?”“Yes.” Fredrick said to Paul, “Tell her yourself!”Paul was cheered up.Priscilla was confused. “What can I do for you?”“Nothing. I just want to ask if you are interested in acting.”Priscilla smiled and nodded, “Yes! Do you have any new play?”Paul’s eyes tu
It never occurred to Priscilla that the gathering mentioned by Fredrick would be a meeting of his friends.Therefore, when she stepped into the room and saw the young men sitting there, she was a little confused.“Fredrick, Priscilla, you guys are finally here!” John Pitt was the first one to greet them. When the others saw Priscilla, they were first stunned for a while and then came to their senses one by one.They followed John and greeted her in a hurry.“I’ve always heard that Fredrick has hidden a stunner in Milton. I finally saw her today. My name is Andrei Nixon.”Hello, Priscilla. I am Lauro Rivera.”Priscilla was surprised. Facing their enthusiasm, she smiled stiffly and nodded in response. Secretly tugging at the corner of Fredrick’s clothes, she said in a low voice with a stiff smile, “Why didn’t you tell me that we come here to meet them?”She had heard of these young men.As the descendants of the richest families, they and Fredrick grew up together. It was obvious that t
Priscilla scratched her hair and wiped her face.The scene in her dream gradually faded away with her brain waking up. Her temples throbbed and she had a headache.She rubbed her forehead gently with her fingers and then got out of bed.“Mrs. Lincoln, you are awake!” Wilma just came in and smiled at her.She forced a smile and said, “I’m late. Why didn’t you wake me up?”“Mr. Lincoln said before he left that you were not feeling well and asked us not to wake you up, and to let you have more rest.”Priscilla was stunned. She looked at Wilma, whose face was full of gratification. She asked, “Where did he sleep last night?”“Well, Mr. Lincoln worked too late last night, so he just slept in the study.”Priscilla was silent for a moment.It turned out that he didn’t come back.An indescribable complex feeling arose in her heart. She didn’t know what was going on.She had thought from the beginning that she should keep her feeling well. No matter what the final goal and end of this marriage
Due to the wrong angle, Priscilla didn’t see the Rolls-Royce on the other side.After she got in the car, she received a call from Frederick.The man’s voice was a little cold and hoarse. He asked, “Where are you?”Raising her eyebrows, Priscilla looked around at the traffic and asked in a low voice, “I-I’m in the company. What’s wrong?”The man on the other side paused for a moment.Somehow, Priscilla felt a little uneasy. She looked around again and made sure that there was no familiar face or car. Then she breathed a sigh of relief.Then she asked, “Are you off now?”“Not yet.”“Then... Go back to your work. See you tonight.”“Okay.”After hanging up the phone, Frederick breathed a long sigh.Looking at the darkening screen of the phone, she suddenly laughed at herself.What was she afraid of?That man was not her real husband. Even if she had slept with him two times, so what? Even if they had the marriage certificate, so what?Wasn’t he also hiding something from her? Why did sh
Priscilla scratched her hair, feeling annoyed.Seeing that he didn’t say anything for a long time, she said impatiently, “Do you have anything to say? If not, I have to go now!”“Wait!”Fredrick stood up and walked towards her. The man stopped in front of her and looked at her with his hands in his trouser pockets.He noticed the regret on the woman’s face. Although his face was still stiff, there was a faint smile in his deep dark eyes. “Last night, you were angry with me just because of this?”Priscilla was stunned.She looked up at him in astonishment.Fredrick added lightly, “It was someone from the Jolie family who told you that, wasn’t it?”Priscilla’s pupils dilated again.How did he know everything?Fredrick quickly solved her doubts.“The engagement between me and the daughter of the Curtis family is very secret. In Peru City, only Mrs. Jolie, who has a close relationship with them, knows it. You didn’t see her last night, and she didn’t tell you about it on the phone before.
Fredrick stared at her with his dark eyes.“That’s it?”“Or what? What do you think it is?”“Nothing.”His eyes were complicated, and it was obvious that he had hidden something else. Priscilla secretly tightened her fingers and felt a little flustered for no reason.But she was always good at camouflage. After she looked away, she quickly calmed down and did not show any traces on her face.“Have you found anything?” “Yes, I have.”Speaking of this, Priscila had nothing to hide. She took out the photo that Mr. K had given her.“Someone wanted me dead, the photo is a man trying to take me away when my father – Paul Waals came in.”A flash of complex light was in Fredrick’s eyes.It was a faint cold light.“Do you need my help?”“No, I don’t!” Priscila answered straightforwardly, “I’ll do it myself. I don’t want to rely on anyone else.”Her Father had always been the one she loved. Now she found out he wasn’t her father. She wasn’t his product. How can she go about it? She didn’t have
Priscilla looked at him dully.She blurted out the words as she was angry, but she didn’t expect that he would take it so seriously.Feeling the pain in her chin, she let out a light groan and said unhappily, “What are you doing? It hurts.”“Answer my question.”The man’s tone of voice was overbearing and cold lights flashed across his eyes.Priscilla was a bit scared by his stare. She knitted her brows, “What do you want me to answer?” “Who am I?”She was speechless.Was he mentally unstable? Why didn’t he know who he was? But she could only complain about this in her heart. She couldn’t say it out.Priscilla curled her lips and replied honestly, “You’re Fredrick Lincoln.”“Hmm?”She was speechless again.Was it wrong?She then replied tentatively, “Mr. Lincoln?”Fredrick was taken aback hearing what she said. “Tsk, come on, do you want me to call you Mr. Chairman, Mr. CEO, Mr. President, or Mr. Billionaire, right?” Priscilla frowned.Seeing the quick change in the man’s tense expr
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
