Secondly, she had thought that she was the star of tonight's banquet. She was the one coming to meet the parents, yet no one from the Levine family bothered to even look at her. She found it unacceptable being disregarded by others this way. Yet, she dared not express her displeasure.For the very first time in her life, she felt like a nobody in front of these people.After Alan and William exchanged pleasantries, they entered the hall of Levine Manor and walked straight toward the luxurious dining hall.Everyone took their seats in order of hierarchy around the massive banquet table.Servants stood ready at the side to serve and help with dinner proceedings.Conversations at the table were largely composed of Alan and William catching up with each other, reminiscing over past memories."I wanted to join Levine Ventures' 60th-anniversary celebration, but I had to make a last-minute trip to the capital city. My apologies, Alan," William said sincerely."You're being a stranger

She pulled her brother all the way to a dark corner in the backyard of the house. "John, what's with your engagement to Jessica?!"Zoe was in a rage but she had to suppress her volume.Her eyes darted warily toward the house, for fear that someone would come by."How is she?" John counter-questioned in his low voice.He was, of course, referring to Cordy."You have the cheek to ask about her?!" Zoe said in a huff, "You vanished into thin air over these two days just like that, not picking up your phone and completely missing in action. How do you think she's doing? She's probably putting up a strong front, what else? Do you want her to drown in her tears?""My phone was confiscated by Grandpa," John explained, "He's keeping a very close watch on me.""I knew Grandpa, that old fox, was sly and cunning. What are you going to do now? Will you really marry Jessica?" Zoe asked, "Or were you really fooling around with Cordy…"John glared at her.Zoe shut her mouth.Her brother had

When they arrived outside the door of Alan's study, Jay stopped in his tracks and said, "My dad's waiting for you inside." "Aren't you going in with me?""He only wants to see you.""Jay…" Mandy was getting really nervous. "Just speak your mind," Jay assured her. "It's not like he will eat you up." Mandy took a deep breath.Although it was her first time visiting Levine Manor, she knew that there were house rules that she could not object to.She had no choice but to bite the bullet and knock on the door.When she walked into the study, she saw Alan seated before his study table, sipping on tea. The door closed behind Mandy.She looked cautiously at Alan and greeted reverentially, "Mr. Levine.""Sit," Alan said as he glanced at Mandy. Mandy immediately obeyed.Perhaps because she was too nervous, her foot accidentally kicked the redwood chair while she was taking a seat, and the legs of the chair scratched against the floor, making an ear-piercing screech. "I-I'm so

'No worries,' she assured herself. 'There's ample time.'Just because they had broken up now did not mean that they could not get back together again in the future.Her agreement to a break up and gaining from it by the way was merely a delaying tactic on her end. She had never thought of giving up Jay just like this!The car arrived outside Jessop Villa.The moment Mandy stepped out of the car, Jay spoke up. "I need your help with one thing."Mandy was taken aback.Jay needed help from her?"Please keep Zoe's identity a secret."Mandy was upset.She harbored an innate sense of animosity against Zoe, and the mere mention of Zoe's name was enough to annoy her."Exposing her identity doesn't benefit you." Jay went straight to the point."Do you fancy Zoe?" Mandy looked right into Jay's eyes.Women were umpteen times sharper when it came to their rivals in love."I don't.""Then why are you treating her so well?""We're all from the Levine household.""Zoe doesn't treat yo

Cordy was getting really bored.She gave Winston a call. "Hi Winston, Cordy here.""How do you do, Ms. Sachs? I have your number saved in my phone. How can I help you?" Winston was very courteous."It's the weekend. Is Dicky at home?""He is.""Can I bring him over to my place and stay the night?" Cordy asked.Zoe was away over the weekend to attend an event in another city."Ms. Sachs, please hang on while I ask," Winston said respectfully."Are you asking John? He wouldn't be able to pick up your call," Cordy said straightforwardly."No. Master John previously instructed that if you want to take Master Richard, you can do so anytime. I'm just asking Master Richard for his opinion. He's playing with his toys and doesn't like being interrupted when he's focused on something.""Sure. Thank you, then," Cordy said politely.She selectively ignored some things that Winston had said.After a while, Winston came back to the phone. "Master Richard looks forward to you coming to pi
