Priscilla left the Famous Entertainment. When she left, there were a few co-workers who came to see her off, but most of them did this out of respect.

After reaching the parking lot, she put her belongings in the trunk and drove directly toward the Smith Group.

Harold was an honest man and had already prepared the transferring documents and Cheque.

When Priscilla arrived at the Smith Group, Harold was in a meeting, and it was Ben who received her.

There were three subsidiary companies under her name. Two of them were liquidated as she had requested last night, leaving only one.

Priscilla readily signed the document and handed over her marriage arrangement paper to Ben.

After all the formalities were handed over, the meeting Harold was in was not over yet.

Ben asked her if she wanted to sit down and wait for a while to greet the chairman before leaving, but Priscilla politely declined his suggestion.

She had already gotten what she wanted, and there was no need for her to meet anyone

    “Assistant.” Priscilla got stubborn and sneered when she raised her arms, “What if I insist on trying it on today?”The sales assistant frowned as her colleagues next to her heard the noise and came over. “What’s wrong she asked?”The sales assistant whispered a couple of words to her colleague and they both let out a forced smile. “Miss this dress is newly released and costs 100, 000 dollars. Are you sure you want to buy it?” she asked.Priscilla sneered, “You asked whether I would buy it before I tried it on. Your shop is really good at entertaining customers.”“I’m really sorry we are trying to protect the interest of other customers. After all, the clothes in our store are expensive high-end-fashion, if everyone tries them on without buying them, won’t the clothes become a second-hand bargain. Don’t you think so?” She asked.The sales assistant smiled but her eyes were full of sarcasm and mockery.Priscilla thought that today must be her doomed day. How could she come across such

    “Why was he here?” Priscilla questioned herself.Priscilla instantly tensed up and glanced behind David, but she didn’t see the man in her mind.Anabel did not know him and frowned unpleasantly, saying, “Who are you?”David answered and commanded directly the person behind him.“The Lincoln always has a rule. We won’t bully any customer even if it runs a large business. How dare you be arrogant as a shareholder and bully customers in the mall? If we let you do this for a long time, it will definitely ruin the fame of the Group.” David said.“Mr. Lawson, take down Miss Smith’s words today and fling them back to Mr. Smith. Ask them not to blame us for kicking them out despite the contract. From now on, let them not get involved in the business group.” He ordered.Mr. Lawson trembled and agreed hastily.Anabel’s face changed immediately, “Y-You are from the Lincoln Group?” she asked as realization dawned on her.David answered, “Miss Smith has finally figured out what’s going on.”“Even

At seven in the evening, they went to the nearby fancy restaurant for dinner. She ate ten of the newly released steamed fresh shrimp quickly.The young man beside them looked straight at him and wondered how could such an elite and handsome-looking dude starve his girlfriend like that.

No wonder she is so popular in the entertainment industry.”“ Sure, it’s not just that she is beautiful. She’s also got herself a good fiancé. Not everyo

    People began to mutter in low voices, “ Who’s that? She’s so beautiful!!”“ I don’t know. Maybe some guests from the Waals family.”Five years ago, When Priscilla left the Ramos family, she was still a little bit too young to show her beauty. And then she spent more of her time in school so not many people had ever met her.And now she’s right in front of them, and nobody knows her.But at least Regina knew her.At the moment, surrounded by a crowd of guests, she also felt surprised seeing the woman waking in from the door.“is that Priscilla?” Regina asked herself.As far as she could remember, Priscilla was always dressed in her professional attire, and even when she was off work, she just wore some casual clothes.Though she looked neat still, she looked boring and plain. Being around her for a long time, anyone would just think she lacked femininity.Besides, she seldom did made- up, and she was quite careless with her hair. Her black and long hair was always left there naturally,

    Mrs. Jolie was stunned, and Rose’s face turned pale.“ What nonsense are you talking about? I didn’t…” Priscilla interrupted her directly, “ Grandma, Ryan, and I are not right for each other and we have already broken up, so there’s no need for you to worry about our affairs anymore.”Mrs. Jolie frowned cast Rose a questioning gaze and said, “ Priscilla, did she tell you to say these words?”Priscilla smiled and didn’t say a word.Rose was instantly furious, “Priscilla! What do you mean by that? When did I ever tell you such words? It was you who insisted on coming over and explaining to Mrs. Jolie, and said it was the only way to get her to forgive you, have you forgotten all that?”Priscilla curled her lips sarcastically, “Oh what did u do to come over and beg my grandma for forgiveness?”At this time, Regina also walked over holding Ryan’s arm.She stood beside Katherine and looked at Priscilla with acknowledgment.“Priscilla, please stop your stubbornness now.

    “It’s Fredrick Lincoln, the owner of Lincoln Group! The richest man in the country.”The noisy crowd suddenly gave way spontaneously, and all the people looked over in surprise. At the end of the crowd, they saw a slender figure slowly walking in.Priscilla shook as her eyes widened.His steps were quick yet not all hurried, emanating his usual aura of aloof and prohibitive nobility. Above his almond-shaped eyes were his arched eyebrows. His black pupils were like the finest black jade in this world, glowing with a faint cold light. After him were David and a few bodyguards in black, who all stood at the doorway without entering.Only David followed him in and handed the gift they had prepared to the receptionist.“It’s really Frederick Lincoln! Why’s he here?” Someone among the guests murmured, rousing the others back to their senses. Everyone was shocked.Most of the guests who had come today were somewhat powerful and wealthy, and even if they hadn’t seen Fredrick in person, they

    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.

    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

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?
