Semua Bab Love in the dark: Bab 511 - Bab 520

Laurence remained calm. He said dismissively, "The paparazzi are making things up. I didn’t know they would write something like that."He rarely explained anything, but this time he felt the need to clarify, obviously not wanting Zoey to misunderstand.Zoey smiled lightly and countered sarcastically, "I don't think any media would dare report false news about you."Laurence was no pushover. He had always protected his private life, and the media rarely touched or spread false news about him. Almost eighty percent of his news was real.Laurence answered modestly, "I'm not that capable."Zoey didn't have time to chat with Laurence. Henry was waiting for her in the underground parking lot.However, Laurence didn't intend to let her leave just like that. He stared straight at her and asked, "Where is that friend you mentioned?"Zoey paused briefly, then picked up her phone and called Henry. She spoke into the phone, "I'm done. Come to the entrance and pick me up. I'm being bothered

Given Zoey's character, Amanda assumed she would reject the offer. To her surprise, Zoey replied, "Alright. If it's someone compatible, I don't mind." Amanda tried her best not to look surprised. She regretted not regretting their conversation, certain that things would be interesting Laurence knew. Comment by Zhulin Yap: Not too sure what this means so I haven't edited it. Suggested edit: She was certain things would get interesting once Laurence found out."Isn’t the usual order, go on dates, get married, then start a family?”"That seems to be the case for most people.""Ah, I see. How long does the dating phase usually last before marriage?"Amanda's engagement was a business deal. Her fiancé needed her father's connections, while the Hartners needed the network his family had. Since they could satisfy each other's needs, marriage and business were practically the same. That was why she didn't know how long couples typically dated before getting married. Zoey had had i

"Mr. Scott, aren't you leaving?" The entertainment company was putting a lot of effort into lifting the influencer beside Laurence to stardom recently. However, it wasn't as exaggerated as the news had reported. She and Laurence had only had a few meals together. She intended to suck up to him but didn't know where to start. Behind them were a few big guns from the entertainment company, who didn't know whether the rumors were real either. They had invited the influencer to test the waters. What if the rumors were true? However, judging the current situation, it didn’t seem likely. Laurence blinked and said plainly, "You guys go ahead. I'm going out for a smoke." The big guns dared not hold him back. How could they stop Laurence if he wanted some time alone? However, the influencer was a little disappointed because she had lost her chance to kiss up to Laurence again. She could only hold a firm position and make it far in this industry if she had a powerful backer. She reluct

Nothing lasted forever in this world, but Shawn thought he would love Zoey till the day the world ended. He continued cooking dinner, and later before he left the house, was struck by a thought and doubled back to bandage the cut on his hand. He didn't want to frighten her.Shawn knocked on the opposite door like a polite neighbor. Janet opened the door and let him in habitually. These days, he always came by to help Zoey's mother with trivial chores whenever Zoey was out for work. When the bathroom light was broken, he fixed it. Janet had thought he had been chased out of the Fulton family after learning that he had argued with his mother. She had no idea that the man in front of her was the ruthless scion of the Zuckman family, thinking he was a poor kid with no one to return to."Mrs. Fulton, I made some soup and can't finish it alone," Shawn said as he held up a flask of warm soup. Janet thought he was being too kind. As she accepted the flask, she noticed the bandage on his fi

Everyone fell silent at Laurence’s words. They knew it wasn’t their place to say these things when he was clearly upset.When Sarah returned with a glass of water, she noticed that the room had fallen quiet and the atmosphere was tense. However, she did not know what happened. She glanced between Adrian and Laurence.“What happened?” she asked.“It’s nothing,” Adrian replied with a smile. After hearing Adrian reassure her, Sarah did not think much about it. She held the glass tight and her hand shook slightly as she placed it before Laurence. She did not pass it to him but placed it where he could reach it easily.“Are you really not drinking tonight, Laurence?”Sarah hoped that he would drink liquor. If he was drunk, it would be easier to hide the truth about the drug from him. She could pass it off as him being drunk. After all, not just anyone could enter Adrian’s mansion. Only a few playboys had brought their girlfriends along. They would not dare to drug Laurence.Laurence
