Nancy shook her head, “I’m fine. Don’t call the police.” She took a deep breath as if she was trying to calm down herself, “Can you help me get my clothes over?”

Priscilla looked at her with complicated emotions. She knew that ordinary people would not dare to treat Nancy like this knowing her family background. Besides, she had bodyguards following her at any time, so no thugs could get close to her.

But she looked so miserable now. Priscilla thought that there must be some reasons she didn’t want others to know. Priscilla didn’t say anything else. She turned around to find Nancy’s clothes and then picked them up. She then supported Nancy to the washroom to give her a simple wash and then took her out of the place.

In the Lincoln Mansion…

Seeing that Priscilla brought a girl back and that she had seen this girl on the TV, Wilma became so happy.

“Wilma, this is my friend Nancy Swift. She will live here in these days. Please prepare some light dishes for us now.”

    She only came out of the toilet ten minutes later.Fredrick had finished the call and was now waiting for her at the table.Priscila took a deep breath to adjust her mood and then walked over.“Are you okay?”“I’m fine.”The firework show hadn’t begun yet and a violin was playing a melodious song in the restaurant.The romantic candle lights around them appeared to be uniquely romantic and touching in such a night scene.Fredrick took a glance at her and smiled, “Darling, would you like to dance with me?”Priscilla was a bit stunned.The man had already stood up. He walked to her and bent down.Looking at the palm in front of her, she was a bit amused while at the same time in a dilemma.“But I’m not wearing an evening dress now.”“I’m not wearing a business suit either.”Regardless of her scruples, he held her hand and pulled her up from the chair.The music played by the violin was gentle and melodious. The two of them, both in their down jackets, danced trippingly in the space in f

    It wasn’t because she had no confidence in her company. However, The Bit Hit Entertainment had just started up not long ago. It had limited strength. She couldn’t help wondering which superstar was willing to sign a contract with her.Although she was doubting, she made a move immediately. While walking upstairs to get changed, she asked, “Who is this superstar?”“You’ll know it when you come over.” Amor deliberately kept her in suspense and hung up the phone.Priscilla frowned, feeling quite weird. She didn’t overthink. After getting dressed, she drove to the company.It was still during the holiday, so no employees were working there.She took the elevator to the sixteenth floor. From afar, she heard Amor’s delighted voice. She seemed to be receiving the guest.Priscilla strode over.“Sir, this is the promotion video we made earlier. Although we’re still a small company, we have the investment from Anderson International, so we have a certain strength. If you’re willing to sign the

    However, she didn’t overthink. After all, he always did things at his will. Recently, artists all love to develop their careers back in Peru, so it wasn’t weird.After arriving home, Priscilla received a call from Fredrick.Leonard Lincoln was aged. During this New Year’s holiday, except for Fredrick, all other family members went back home with their children.It was supposed to be a happy holiday, but his disease broke up all of a sudden. Fortunately, his condition had been stabilized. It was his old disease, which couldn’t be cured completely. The doctor asked him to recover at home and not to be too worried and anxious. Priscilla could hear that he still hadn’t finished his words, so she asked, “Do you have something to talk to me?”Fredrick didn’t deny it. After a few seconds, he continued, “Priscilla, let’s make our relationship public.”She was a bit taken aback.Making it public? Should she go back to Spark Land?She didn’t need to worry about anything.They had been together

Possibly she just got lost.Therefore, she shook her head. “Nope. I just want to ask them to help you find your family.”“But all the policemen have gone home, right? I’m so tired and sleepy. Mommy, can you take me home? I want to sleep.”

    She knew Priscilla was in charge of Big Hit Entertainment. She wanted to see how Priscilla made fun of herself, but much to her surprise, she had sighed with Gerard.Gerard was truly the cash cow. Every agency just craved for him.Even Terry was quite angry. She had been in the entertainment business for many years and had a large network. Earlier, she heard her friend abroad say that Gerard had a plan to develop his career back in Peru.Originally, Terry wanted to take this chance to make him sign with Famous Entertainment so that they would have the strength to be against Anderson International. Unexpectedly, before she made the move, Gerard had signed with Priscilla.Terry disdained Big Hit Entertainment a lot.She wondered if Gerard signed with it simply for charity.She couldn’t figure out what was in Gerard’s mind. Once she thought about it, she had a migraine.However, Terry could do nothing. Gerard had already signed the contract, so she couldn’t grab him over. She decided to

    Then she introduced Mr. Wolf to her. “This is Mr. Benjie Wolf. He is the owner of Peru Commerce. He has helped the Waals family a lot. You can call him Benjie”Hearing that, Regina said with a smile, “Hi, Benjie.”Benjie smiled and said, “Hello, Regina. You’re just as gorgeous as I had imagined. I’m glad to see you.”With that, he stood up and shook hands with Regina then he turned around as he looked at Ryan.“You must be Mr. Smith, right?”Ryan nodded, “Yes.”“I didn’t expect to meet you here. I am so glad.”Ryan didn’t like this fatty man who had tried his best to please others, but he nodded his head slightly for the sake of the Waals family.“You too.”Just then, Katherine came out and asked them to go to the dining room as the dinner was ready.They all stood up and walked to the dining room.Priscilla didn’t move until they were all gone, as she didn’t want to walk side by side with them. However, Benjie slowed down as well as if on purpose.He sneaked a peek at Priscilla, he f

    Benjie was also excited.The woman was harsh on him just now and suddenly agreed to marry him.He felt himself so lucky.His face flushed with excitement, and he kept rubbing his hands.“In that case, let’s fix a time!”“We have a week to prepare,” Rose said.Hearing that, Benjie got more excited.“It’s a little hasty to hold a wedding this weekend, but I can make it. I’ll make preparations for it as soon as I get back. I won’t make you feel aggrieved anyway.” Priscilla put on a cold smile and said nothing.Rose said with a smile, “Sorry to trouble you. A lot of young people favoured getting married quickly. When the day for your wedding comes, you will have known each other for a week. It’s not hasty at all.”“Yes.” Katherine echoed, “Mr. Wolf, if you don’t mind, maybe you can prepare more gifts for the guests.”After that, Katherine threw Rose a warning look.She stopped talking immediately and turned her gaze at Priscilla to observe her.Priscilla, who should be angry or a bit ups

    There was a slight sound of footsteps from outside.Priscilla shook her head, thinking it was Ara coming in, and shouted out loud, “I’m not finished yet. Please wait for me a while outside!”After saying that, she braced herself and tried to stand up for a shower.However, the tingling sensation coming from her body made her knees go weak, and she nearly fell.Priscilla’s face turned pale as she snapped awake.How could she not know what was going on with this familiar sensation? Damn it!How could that be?She remembered no one had ever touched anything she had eaten this evening. And there was no way something should happen to that cup of wine.Could it be…?She widened her eyes and suddenly remembered the cup of warm water Ara had just given her.Her eyes turned cold, and the raging anger was about to explode in her chest.So these people just … would never fail to surprise her whenever she decided to go easy with them.They had treated her in such an underhand and stupid way repea

    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
