LOGINIt was all so sudden that Jules was at a loss for what to say.At last, he found his voice and thanked Delilah, “Delilah, you really didn’t have to do all this for me.”Delilah was completely sincere. “I’m only doing this because I didn’t want you to live an unfulfilling life back home. If you don’t want to go back, you have the choice to stay here. Your career and your life will not be affected in any way.”After that, she took him to a private care center.Jules was surprised to find that she had already transported his mother here as well.Even though his mother had only been here for a month, she was already doing much better, all thanks to the professional medical team Delilah recruited.Delilah stated confidently, “Your mother’s condition isn’t incurable by any means. I’m sure she’ll recover very soon if she stays here.”There was a faint spark in her eyes as she said so. It quickly expanded into a mighty flame which seemed to engulf Jules.A warm feeling spread through h
Layla had checked beforehand to make sure Jules was home before coming over. Why did he refuse to come out to meet her?“I want to see Jules! He’s the owner of the house!”She clutched the collar of the security guard’s shirt to force her way inside.The guard frowned. “I’ll have to call the police if you keep resisting!”She cried out in protest, “I own this house as well, and I want to see him. He’s my husband! Open the door right now and let me in! You don’t know who you’re messing with. I can ruin your life if I want to!”Suddenly, a passerby who recognized her called out, “Isn’t that Miss Turner, Mr. Fanon’s wife?”Upon taking a closer look at Layla, she cried out, “Oh, it’s you! Didn’t you know your husband was driven out of here last night?”Layla grabbed the person’s arm and cried out hysterically, “Where did he go? Do you know where he went?”“How would I know? All I know is that I saw him leaving with some woman! Did you get into some kind of argument with him?"Layl
“Try these too.”Suddenly, Jules realized every single creation she made happened to be his favorites.He was puzzled. “How did you know what kind of food I liked?”Delilah smiled playfully. “Back then, when I realized I was interested in you, I did my research. How else am I going to stand a chance?”Jules found himself rather amused by this and could not help chuckling.She was a wonderful woman who loved joking around with him.While they were halfway through their meal, they suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out from outside, “Jules!”Jules’ expression changed in an instant. It was as if everything had lost its appeal the moment he heard the voice. Then, the same voice cried out again, “Why won’t you come out? I’m going to keep waiting here until you come to meet me!”When Delilah went to the window to look outside, she found Layla standing right outside.Layla could hardly keep her balance, which suggested she had been drinking.Upon hearing Delilah point out Lay
Layla flicked an icy look at Roland. “And what about it? It’s not as if you’ve never slept with a fifty-year-old woman before.”She nonchalantly picked out a few pictures from the stack and showed them to him. “Look at them. They’re just about my aunt’s age but aren’t even half as wealthy as she is. Here’s your chance to become the boy toy of an old cougar. What’s not to love?”Roland wailed, “No! I was young and naïve then and was too desperate for money. That’s why I made the foolish mistake of sleeping with them! Ever since I met you, I haven’t slept with anyone else. You have to believe me! I’m not lying to you!”He was shaking his head desperately and bawling his eyes out.Then, a housemaid said, “Madam, a car is parked outside. The driver says he’s here to pick up Mr. Presley for the wedding.”The color drained from Roland’s face the moment he heard this.With that, he fell into despair and pleaded desperately before Layla, “Layla, don’t do this! Have you forgotten how clos
Layla went home to see Roland cussing up a storm in the living room.“Let me out! I want to see my friends! What right do you have to keep me locked up in here?”With that, Roland grabbed a vase from a table and hurled it violently toward the housemaid.The housemaids were frantic to stop him.“Mr. Presley, please! You have to calm down!”“It was the madam who gave the order. We have no choice!”Roland was furious. “Out! All of you, out!”He turned around to grab another vase to throw. This time, he accidentally struck Layla instead.It struck her right on the forehead, leaving a large bump that swelled up very quickly.The moment he saw her, he cried out, “Layla, you’re a liar! You promised me that you’d marry me, then you humiliated me in front of a crowd. Have you thought about how much that upsets me?”Layla let out a sardonic chuckle. “Me, a liar?”Then she marched toward him with a cold smile, causing Roland’s anger to deflate and turn into fear.Layla began to expose
“Roland, I haven’t even settled the score with you yet. What are you trying to achieve by coming up to me to gloat? Besides, I know you were the one who got Shelby involved in your scheme.”“Alright, you got me. What about it? I promised her that if she played along, she’d get a chance to sleep with you since she’s been lusting after you for ages.“The right move for you would’ve been to sleep with Shelby since Layla doesn't want you anymore! You’re getting on in years yourself, so you should be grateful anyone even wants you at all! You better stop all that antic about jumping to your death, and wise up!”Roland shook his head and cried out, “No! None of this is real!”He turned frantically to Layla to explain, “Layla, it isn’t what it sounds like, believe me! Miss Payton must’ve had someone fake a recording so she could frame me! She’s only doing this to protect Jules. It’s all fake!”“Fake, you say?” Layla wrenched his wrist with such force that it felt as if his bones would br
