Naomi was astounded for a bit and grabbed the pack of tissues from him. “Thank you.”He stared at the heavy rain. “I don’t think the rain will cease so soon.”Naomi lowered her gaze and pursed her lips.In fact, she hoped that the rain would go on for longer.At that moment, Francisco’s cell phone rang. He took a glimpse at the caller ID and walked away to answer it.Naomi turned her head and stared at his figure. For some reason, she felt like she was on a date. However, as soon as Naomi thought of the word “date”, her cheeks blushed inexplicably, and she covered them instantly.‘Why have my thoughts become so bizarre lately!?’However, what she did not know was that Francisco looked back at her at this moment and happened to witness the scene where she was covering her cheeks in panic. The sight of an innocent girl being in love was truly a feast to his eyes.Apart from this, Lucy’s actions had all been so obvious, so how could Francisco not realize it?He lowered his gaze,

A thorn seemed to have punctured Tanner’s chest, and he felt as if he could no longer breathe. He was silent for a moment and then stood up shakily. “Then take me back.”The pub manager came over and said, “Miss, please send Mr. Hannigan home. He’s drunk too much. We’ll get into trouble if something happens to him after he leaves the premises.”Pearl did not utter a single word. Pearl saw the coat he draped on the couch, picked it up, and followed him out when they were leaving the pub.Pearl was about to cover him with his coat back in the car when Tanner grabbed her wrist abruptly and called her out drunkenly but looked as if he was completely sober. “Pearl.”Pearl froze. She remembered suddenly that Tanner used to call her that in front of her parents a year ago. She smiled, but there was not even a hint of hilarity in her eyes. “Are you still playing your part? But the play has ended.”He did not speak another word.Pearl drove him back to the apartment building. She knew tha

Tanner stood next to the bed and looked at his father. “What about the child?”Nathaniel was quiet for a few minutes, but his expression didn’t change. “I can accept the child but not the mother.”Tanner seemed to know that was what his father would say, but before this, he would debate about it with his father, but now…Had Pearl influenced him or the ‘accidental’ child? He was in chaos. After he left the hospital, Tanner drove to La Pearla. The employees all knew about him and Pearl. On top of the scene at the wedding, the news was everywhere, and the people started chattering when he showed up.“Didn’t Mr. Tanner run away with that woman and left his to-be wife?”“Tsk! What’s the point of coming to see Ms. Santiago now that the wedding is over? Such an *sshole.”“What *sshole? I think Mr. Hannigan is the victim here. Other than Mr. Hannigan, who would be willing to marry her? I heard that he already had a girlfriend before he was forced to marry her, but the Hannigans wouldn

“After three days, if I don’t see the money,” He put the knife under her chin, “I’ll post all those naked pictures of yours so that Mr. Tanner can see what his girlfriend would do for money.”Sandy’s shoulders were shaking, and the pain in her belly turned her pale. Lenny finally left with his men. Sandy noticed blood coming out between her legs and opened up her skirt to check. The pain made her drop to the floor in tears. She took a deep breath and crawled up to the couch to call Tanner, but Tanner didn’t pick up. …Pearl’s assistant walked out of the elevator and saw Tanner walking out with his jacket in hand and no tie. His shirt was wrinkled too.The assistant was surprised, but Tanner walked past her straight into the elevator before she could ask. She pushed the door open. “Ms. Santiago, Mr. Hannigan—” When she saw the scene, it made her freeze. Pearl was curled up on the couch with only her underwear on, her hair was a little messy, and she could see marks on her s

However, was Sandy going to give up just like that? No1…Lucy and Naomi went to the cafe nearby to try out some newly launched cakes during lunchtime. “The cakes here are quite nice. A lot of people are talking about them on Instagram, and that’s how I was poisoned.”Naomi was curious. “What do you mean poisoned?”Lucy paused, “That means I wanted to try them really badly. When someone online recommends something so that everyone knows about it.”Lucy then tapped her head. “Don’t you go online a lot? I think you’re quite young, but there seems to be an age gap between us.”Naomi pushed her hair behind her ear and smiled awkwardly. “I’m not a fan of social media.”“That’s why.” Lucy took a scoop of cream. “But I can understand. A socialite like you probably is very strictly controlled by your family. It isn't surprising that you don’t have time to go online.”Naomi smiled but didn’t answer. She had no idea how to explain her past. “By the way,” Lucy looked around and leaned i
