The next day, Evelyn awoke to Susan's dutiful call for breakfast.She felt as though her body, having slumbered for so many years, craved endless sleep, luring her into dreams eternal. But time was pressing, so she forced herself up to freshen up and head downstairs for the morning meal.The dining room was an embodiment of elegance, vast and bright. Quentin sat there in an exquisite suit, an epitome of poise as he prepared to break his fast. He nodded at her arrival, "Good morning."Evelyn returned the greeting with a smile, then handed back his phone.Together, they began their breakfast.The feast before them rivaled that of a grand hotel's buffet, offering an abundance of both Western and Eastern dishes.Evelyn couldn't hide her disbelief, "Is it just us eating?"Quentin looked up, pausing briefly before confirming, "Yes.""Oh..." Evelyn mused. Considering she was in the home of the renowned businessman Victor, and her son was his heir, it made sense that they could indulge in wha
As Evelyn stepped into the auditorium, every seat was filled, and several latecomers stood in the aisles, craning their necks to get a better view. The female students, in particular, were ecstatic, screaming and cheering for the movie star on the stage.Evelyn squeezed her way through the crowd, standing on the steps to catch a glimpse of Lucas. Sure enough, she spotted him.Lucas, the renowned movie star, known for his outstanding acting skills and numerous hit films, was a sensation in the industry. Even at forty-five, he still exuded the same charm as his younger days, attracting millions of fans. Among the female students of the Capital Film School, there were undoubtedly many of his admirers. Seeing Lucas personally come to the school to give a speech, they were filled with excitement as if they had been injected with chicken blood.Evelyn couldn't help but feel a surge of determination. She had to find the headmaster and secure her return to the film school. She wanted to make
The two responsible police officers felt a sense of humiliation being crushed by authority and had genuine disdain for their superior.However, their superior was also helpless. It wasn't a big deal to begin with, and it had little to do with the young girl. From what they could see at the scene, the movie star had fainted on his own. Why bother the young girl?Now, a person of high status had come personally to bail out the young girl. How could they not let her go? Why shouldn't they let her go?Relieved, Evelyn finally got the chance to leave. She let out a sigh of relief, forgetting the frustration of being questioned earlier. She even politely waved at the two police officers, "Thank you, young gentlemen. Auntie is leaving now."The two police officers gritted their teeth, a twenty-year-old girl insisting on calling herself a forty-five-year-old auntie??As Evelyn looked at the two officers fuming, her mood only got better. She walked out of the police station and saw a luxurious
Even after they returned to the villa in the Maybach, Evelyn was still playing with Quentin's phone, amazed by its features. In her time, there were no convenient gaming devices like this. No, this was more than just a gaming device—it was a combination of a gaming device, computer, TV, and telephone. It was perfect, allowing her to go online, watch movies, and binge-watch TV shows anytime, anywhere.She was having so much fun when suddenly, she muted the sound on the phone. Her fingers continued to swipe and tap, but there was no longer the usual amazement, admiration, or excitement.Quentin was originally working on his tablet, but when he noticed this, he looked up at his mother.His mother, who was several years younger than him, was sitting on the couch, her long dark hair slightly disheveled from leaning against it. She stared at the screen in disbelief, her face filled with indignation.Quentin silently sat there, waiting for her to speak.Sure enough, after a while, she exclai
Win with intelligence? Those words echoed in Evelyn's mind as she sat up straight on the comfortable couch. "How do we win with intelligence?" she asked, curious and intrigued.Quentin beckoned her over. "Come here."Evelyn quickly walked over to him, and Quentin opened his tablet. She looked down and was surprised by what she saw.It was a screenshot of a tweet exposing Lucas's scandal. It described in vivid detail what had happened between Lucas and a woman at a nightclub on a specific date. There was even a photo showing Lucas inappropriately touching the girl.Evelyn took the tablet and zoomed in on the photo. She examined it closely and asked, "Is that him?"Quentin's expression remained inscrutable. "Does it matter if it's him or not?"Evelyn suddenly understood. "You're right, it doesn't matter. Let's just expose him!"She held the tablet eagerly, reading through the comments on the tweet. The tweet had gone viral, with thousands of retweets and tens of thousands of comments. P
The next morning, as Evelyn and Quentin sat together in the dining room having breakfast, Quentin received a report from his subordinates. He glanced at Evelyn, who seemed unusually sluggish while sipping her milk. This was unlike her usual self, always enthusiastic about meals and eating heartily. It seemed that something was amiss.Quentin asked, "Mom, what time did you go to sleep last night?"Evelyn, still a bit dazed, replied, "Around two, maybe three... or was it four?"Quentin raised an eyebrow and questioned, "Were you playing on your phone last night?"Evelyn's eyes lit up at the mention of her phone. "Yes, I had a fierce battle with Lucas's fans on Twitter."Quentin's face darkened. "So you were arguing on Twitter until four in the morning?"Embarrassed by her son's direct accusation, Evelyn murmured, "It wasn't that late... After the argument, I started playing games..."She glanced at Quentin guiltily and whispered, "The game was quite fun."Quentin took a deep breath and
When Quentin made his statement, Margaret immediately let out a shrill scream, "You're lying! How is that possible? I have a property certificate too. Yours must be fake, you forged the property certificate!" Margaret's husband joined in and shouted, "Police, quickly arrest them! They forged the property certificate and are trying to take our house away. They broke our door! These are bad people involved in criminal activities, they're even connected to the underworld!" As they continued shouting, Quentin signaled his assistant, and soon a group of people made their way through the crowd. Among them were a renowned real estate lawyer, a representative from the property management office, a notary from the notary office, and the last person was... Evelyn squinted and recognized him, he was a staff member from the institute where she was treated. Why was he here? Quentin glanced at the bewildered police officer, explaining, "Officer, initially this house belonged to my mother, but
"Mom, you go in and take a look at the house. I'm going downstairs for a moment," Quentin said calmly.Evelyn was already in awe of her son and nodded in agreement, "Alright, you go ahead. I'll check out the house."Quentin nodded and left a bodyguard at the door to protect Evelyn. He then made his way downstairs, while Evelyn entered the house.This house had been left to her by her grandmother, but after her grandmother passed away and she fell ill, betrayed by her boyfriend, she had been in a deep sleep for twenty-five years.Facing the unfamiliar world that had changed during her twenty-five years of slumber, and the absence of any friends or relatives due to the passage of time, this house was her only solace and sanctuary.Everything had changed during those twenty-five years, and the house no longer resembled its past. Standing in front of the empty windows, looking at the view outside, she noticed that the familiar old locust tree was gone, replaced by tall buildings, and the
