“Is your brother here?” Cherry raised her eyebrows. Her tone was nonchalant yet direct.“You knew all along that my brother won't be here today?” Henry was completely stunned and stared at her in disbelief. How was this possible? His elder brother never objected. He always thought that his elder brother was very committed to the family.How could Cherry be so sure that his elder brother will not be here today?!Cherry smiled without saying a word. With Nelly present, she knew that today's engagement will not go on successfully. This was also the reason why she did not protest all these while.Why should she take matters into her own hands when somebody else could help her solve her problems? It was not worth the trouble since it was both physically and mentally exhausting.“Are you certain that my brother won't be here today?” Henry was unconvinced.“He'll definitely be present but the engagement won't take place.” Cherry had to tolerate Henry's inquisitive nature but who was it that

Cherry blinked and appeared to be taken aback. She did not seem to understand what Hardy meant and did not show any reaction."What are you talking about?" Hardy's mum was flustered. "Today's the day of your engagement with her. Don't fool around."Meanwhile, Edward's face darkened which made him look terrifying."Cherry, you don't actually like me and the person that I like isn't you." Although his plan had been foiled, Hardy still said what he meant."The one whom I like is Nelly and she is the one I wish to marry." As soon as Hardy said that, he knew there was no turning back. As a matter of fact, he did not want to turn back.Nelly looked shocked and lifted her head at once. She looked at Hardy with fear and pain. "No, no, no…"She shook her head violently and shuddered as she stepped back slowly. Her reactions were perfect."You… You want to marry Nelly?" His mother was dumbfounded."Yes," Hardy replied with determination and without a moment's hesitation.Her gaze shifted. This

“She went to Bewitching Moon Beauty Parlor at 8.10 and left at 11.43. I've been to Bewitching Moon, questioned the employees and investigated the CCTV footage. No problem.” However, what The Fly said next contradicted with a particular person's expectations.Still, Larry was aware of The Fly's capabilities. The Fly would not make a mistake.Last night, the woman jumped into his room at around nine, and from nine to one, they were…“I say that can't be Cherry” Stanley stood near him and overheard The Fly's words clearly. “Larry, I think there's no point wasting time on Cherry.”“I've found out all the women whom Henry knows. Cherry and Henry have met once, which was the time when both families were discussing Hardy and Cherry's marriage. However, Henry left after five minutes and that was the only time they met each other. From that day onwards, there was no contact between Cherry and the Max family. On the other hand, Hardy visited her family several times, but he was looking for Nell

Cherry walked away smugly as she overheard the increasingly inquisitive questions from the crowd. Nelly refused to answer but occasionally, gasps could be heard.In five years, Nelly became the No. 1 socialite of the City, and had mastered her ability in acting. Cherry's lips slowly parted into a subtle smile. Her younger sister's meticulously crafted plan was about to fall apart.Five years have passed and she was no longer the shy, awkward girl from long ago. Not many people now could conspire against and try to harm her.Nelly was not skilled enough to do so.Cherry had earlier driven to a shopping Mall on her own and parked her car in the basement parking level. She walked into the elevator.Perhaps everyone had gone to watch the commotion because there was no one else inside the elevator.However, the elevator doors slid open again just as they were about to close.Larry entered and was followed closely behind by Secretary Leo.Secretary Leo let out a quiet sigh. The President wa

Within a split second, changes could be observed in the expressions of a few people.The waitress was guilty and afraid; Nelly waited anxiously; Hardy was caught in a struggle.Larry's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze was fixed upon Cherry. Nevertheless, since the incident at the parking lot, he looked at her without the usual sharpness and intimidation in his gaze so that she would not notice him.“Larry, the Coke is obviously spiked. I'm worried that if she drinks it…” Stanley was worried.However, Cherry did not drink it. At the following moment, she moved the drink away from her mouth.Nelly met her gaze and her heart skipped a beat. Cherry was clearly smiling, but her smile sent a shiver down her younger sister's spine.Larry's lips parted into a grin. Indeed, Cherry did not let him down.“Has she noticed it?” Stanley was a bit puzzled when he saw Cherry's reaction. Then, he got excited again. “Since she has noticed it, what will she do? Will she force the Coke down Ne
