Theresa's lips curved into a smile.
She thought the conversation between Vincent and Shirley was stupid.So, she gave up. Then, she remembered that she would be returning to Los Angeles in two days.Theresa's mentor, the renowned jewelry designer Alari Kemoton, was going to hold a small dinner party in Los Angeles two days later. At the party, he would showcase his latest works.Theresa and Alari hadn't seen each other for over three years. She didn't want to look haggard after her divorce.So Theresa quickly took off her headphones and went to sleep. Shirley was unaware of it. She thought that she could soon get rid of Theresa and went to bed happily.The next day, Shirley turned over in bed and dialed the home phone. She lazily told the maid, "I'm going to take a bath, get the water ready for me. And get some rose petals from the garden and put them in the bathtub. I'm going to have a flower bath."A strange yet somewhat familiarTheresa hesitated for a moment and answered the phone."What's the matter?" Theresa asked."Why are you so cold to me?" Zander complained. He said, "I heard that you divorced Damien. I was so angry, so I collected information about Damien and Angela. As a result, I learned a lot of gossip. You know, Damien was cheated so badly that I even felt sorry for him. I sent you the information, just take your time to read it."Theresa knew that Zander was a top-level hacker.She opened the file. There were dozens of pages of information, and Angela's entire life was revealed to Theresa.Theresa read through the document with her brow furrowed. The information was about Angela and Damien's past, and also about Angela's life while she was abroad.Angela had dated many men and had quite a dating history."Did you finish reading it? Did it make you feel sick?" Zander asked. "It's hard to believe that Damien divorced you for Angela. Do you want me to
Shirley felt her face burning with pain. She covered her face and sat on the ground, lost in thought.Theresa looked at Shirley coldly and said, "Wow, I'm impressed."Then, she smashed the vase to the ground. Shirley screamed, covering her ears in fear.Theresa approached Shirley slowly. Every time she took a step, Shirley would take one step back, until she was cornered.Shirley said in a frightened voice, "Don't come over...""Weren't you trying to attack me just now? Why? Are you afraid now?"Theresa reached out her hand, and Shirley closed her eyes tightly in fear. Theresa ran her fingers through Shirley's messy hair."Why do you hate me so much? Why did you gang up with Max to hurt me?"Shirley opened her eyes and said with a malicious smile, "Don't you know?"Theresa watched Shirley quietly, waiting for her answer.Shirley looked at Theresa's face, that beautiful face, and jealousy overwhelmed her. She finally revealed the dark thoughts that had b
"What's wrong?" Damien asked Austin. He furrowed his brow and looked panicked.Damien doesn't like his subordinates being so anxious.Austin quickly said, "Mrs. Slater went to see Angela and she even hit her.""What?" Damien's eyes widened and he was getting restless.He turned around and walked out.Angela currently lived in a two-story townhouse and it was arranged by Damien. She lived alone, so it was spacious for her.But Angela was not satisfied. She preferred the Slater family's villa.She was waiting for the day when she would become the mistress of the Slater family. Then, she could move into the villa justified.What surprised her was that Vanessa suddenly visited while she was enjoying her coffee in the villa.She quickly called Austin.When Damien hurried to the villa, Angela was kneeling on the ground, covering her face and crying."Angela."Angela felt relieved to see him and immediately threw herse
Angela was startled by Damien's action, but she quickly adjusted her mood.She fetched the first aid kit from the cabinet in the living room.She cleaned the wound in his hand with some alcohol pads, looking sad.She asked, "Does it hurt?"Damien shook his head and raised his hand to touch her swollen cheek. "Does it hurt?"Angela gave a gentle smile and said, "No. Not anymore."Damien let out a sigh and said, "I'm sorry for what happened.""She is your mother, and I don't blame her," Angela behaved like a forgiving woman.She stood up and then walked over to the sofa. She sat down and leaned into Damien's arms.She said gently, "Damien, please don't be mad at Vanessa because of me. Actually, she hates Madison, not me. I believe that as long as we truly love each other, she will come around..."Although Angela said so, what she was thinking in her heart was that her wedding was only two days away, so nothing could go wron
The next day, Theresa took an early flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles.Alari booked the best hotel for Theresa.Theresa rested in her room for a while. Soon, someone knocked on her door."Surprise!" Zander stood at the door with a delicate box in his hands, smiling."How did you come here?" Theresa stepped aside from the doorway to let him in."I brought you something. And I'll be your bodyguard tonight," Zander handed the box to Theresa.He walked into the room and casually sat on the sofa. "This is from Alari. I think it matches perfectly with your dress today."Theresa opened the box.She saw a pair of exquisitely cut diamond earrings inside the box.Each of the diamonds was decorated with a small piece of red diamond at the corner."They are so pretty," Theresa couldn't help but exclaim.She walked into the bathroom and then put them on in front of the mirror.Then she stepped into her high heels, loo
Zander looked at Theresa and asked, "Did you need me to help you get rid of her?"Theresa shook her head and said with a smile, "She's just a barking dog."Molly walked over and heard Theresa's words. She immediately shouted, "What did you say?! Have you forgotten how I taught you a lesson before?"Molly smirked as everyone looked at them and whispered.She wanted to trample on Theresa's dignity in front of everyone's eyes.At the same time, she also wanted everyone to know that she was a member of the Slater family.Zander stood in front of Theresa while Molly tried to bully her.Zander didn't want to make a scene in front of the prestigious guests. So, he called security."Please escort this lady out."Molly shouted in front of everyone, "How dare you! Do you even know who I am? I'm Damien's cousin and I came on behalf of the Slater Group! And if anyone has to leave, it's that cheap woman behind you!"Theresa pulled Zan
"So what? I took it from her. She's just a bitch!" Molly said defiantly.However, everyone present knew what it represented.Alari was the most well-known jewelry designer in the industry. Every VIP invitation was personally sent out by him. Those who received the invitation must be close to Alari.After Molly finished speaking, Alari's face turned gloomy."You really had no manners," he turned his head and glanced at the bodyguard beside him.The bodyguard immediately stepped forward and slapped Molly in the face.Both Molly and Damien froze."How dare you hit me!" Molly's eyes were slightly reddened.She wanted to fight back, but the next second she was dragged out of the banquet hall by the bodyguard.Damien felt embarrassed. He walked up to Alari and said, "There must be some misunderstanding."Then Damien said to Alari, "Theresa was my ex-wife. She knows Molly. I guess they were just joking with each other."Aft
Zander's car quickly stopped at the entrance of a well-known club, Avalon, in Los Angeles.Zander and Theresa opened the car door and got out of the car.Looking at Theresa, Zander nodded in satisfaction and said, "To be honest, ever since you married Damien, I always thought you dressed like a nun. Now, you are back to yourself.""Shut up, Zander." Theresa gave him a soft gaze.She followed Zander and walked into the club.After they sat down at the bar, Theresa looked around and said, "Let's sit here. So I can check out the handsome guys."After Theresa finished speaking, she tapped the bar table and said to the bartender, "One shot of vodka."Zander said, "Easy. You can't handle your liquor."Theresa smiled and took a sip of her drink, then shrugged at Zander.At that moment, a man walked towards them and patted Zander's shoulder.Theresa glanced at the man. She didn't know him.Obviously, he was a friend of Zande
