Semua Bab Love in Twilight: Bab 1701 - Bab 1710

On Joshua's way to work the next day, he received a news alert while waiting at a red light. "The new top celebrity, Zoe Wale, signed an endorsement agreement with one of Windmere City's top makeup brands, Cece Cosmetics, yesterday."She had made it big and was no longer the nobody from the past.After arriving at the office, Joshua was about to look at some documents when a call came in.It was the president of Cece Cosmetics, Mason Wakefield.When Merrilyn was still alive, she had a business relationship with Cece Cosmetics. After Joshua took over, he didn't pay much attention to these businesses that focused on women. He developed more businesses like heavy industry and cables, so he had less contact with Mason.However, Mason had always wanted to hook up with this new star of Windmere City.Joshua was well-known in Genovia and a member of the renowned Lawrence family. His family background alone was enough to wipe out 99 percent of the competition.Still, in Windmere City, J

"What are you looking at?" Joshua asked."Oh, it's nothing." Zoe also felt that she had lost her composure just now and adjusted her emotions.No one at the table dared to make Zoe toast them anymore. Everyone started talking business.Mason naturally wanted to talk to Joshua about a collaboration between Centerfold Corporation and Cece Cosmetics. He mentioned how often he and Merrilyn had worked together when he was still alive; he hoped they could continue with this.Joshua did not give in easily.Zoe took a few more glances at Joshua.Joshua looked back at her. "Have you fallen for me?"Zoe's face instantly turned red. "Oh, no. I'm sorry for causing you to misunderstand."Joshua ignored her and returned to the topic at the dining table. He didn't know why they suddenly started talking about art. When they talked about painting, some people were filled with disdain at painters and said, "They're just painters in name. Can they really paint?"Zoe did not have a good impressio

At that time, Zoe was studying at the Blica Academy of Arts, which was different from Joshua's. Their schools were quite far apart, and she had to take a long ride to get there. Once, she became nauseous and vomited in the car. Joshua took care of her and brought her to his dormitory. For some reason, one of his dormmates said, "Your sister's here, too? I bet your parents had to sell another house to send her here."The dormmate even pretended to look like life was hard."Cut it out," Joshua replied expressionlessly.At that time, Zoe had just gotten to know Joshua. They were at an ambiguous stage and had yet to learn about each other's families. Because of that, she thought he came from a family that struggled to make ends meet.Many people in Merania sold everything they had to let their children study abroad. They gritted their teeth to let their children survive abroad for four to five years. After all, the cost of living in Emmeria was very high. Their family had to have it to

At that time, Zoe said, "I've fallen in love with someone else. He was my junior high school classmate and pursued me in high school. I had feelings for him then and actually wanted to get together with him, but I didn't because I was suddenly sent abroad. Anyway, I'm probably gonna stay in Merania from now on. I know this isn't fair to you, but I've always been this fickle-minded. I wanted to be a celebrity in the past, then an artist, and even a doctor. I'm not too hung up on who I'm with, honestly. I'll get together with any man as long as he treats me well. Sorry, Joshua.""I'll return to Merania in the future too!" Joshua forced out through gritted teeth."Sorry, but I'm already in love with him, and more than I ever loved you. We're already engaged. Let's end this on good terms, okay?"Joshua didn't say anything. His chest hurt from his fury.He thought of flying to her to see what the hell had happened, but he saw on her social media that she had flown somewhere on a trip wi

Just as Zoe was looking at the tea varieties on Amazon and was about to pick one for Joshua, Dan called."Where are you?" he asked."I was in Windmere City yesterday, but I'm heading to Lincton City today to shoot a mineral water advertisement.""I know about that. How long will it take?""I don't know. Three or five days, maybe.""Are you coming home after filming?""I don't know yet; it depends. What's wrong?""Nothing. Call me if you come home so I can pick you up.""Okay."After hanging up, Zoe felt like her head had been dunked in ice. She thought, 'What would people think of me if I were to order tea for Joshua when I'm already engaged to Dan? Anyway, Joshua's my ex, and this makes it look like I'm two-timing Dan.' With this thought in mind, she quit the Amazon app.She was about to take a nap when her phone rang again. It was from her mother, Wendy King."Mom?" Zoe said."Are you shooting an advertisement in Lincton City today?" Wendy's voice was very pleasant to lis
