6When I came back from the bathroom, I noticed that Kiara's eyes were a little red, looking like she had just cried.There was something wrong with Raven's expression as well. He looked like he was forcing conversations with others just to avoid Kiara's gaze.It did not take a genius to figure out what had happened earlier. Evidently, Kiara was jealous that Raven got such an expensive bag for me, and they fought over that.How interesting would it be if Kiara knew that this gift was actually from her boyfriend?Chase gave the bag to me in Raven's name just to make Kiara feel uneasy and to make the unscrupulous couple argue among themselves....I saw something even more interesting earlier though. When I was in the bathroom, Raven sent a text to Chase. It read, "Why did you suddenly get such an expensive bag? That's not something I can easily afford. My girlfriend is more of the practical kind, and she doesn't need such an expensive gift."Chase replied, "Kiara had been wantin

10After tapping on the screen for a long time, I still gave up on replying in the end.I was still afraid of Chase, be it back then or right now.Perhaps it was human nature to avoid harmful things.Half an hour later, I was done with my makeup. I was ready for work.No matter how problematic my relationship and love life were, it should not affect my work. That had always been my principle.Therefore, I would rather vent my resentment and hatred on Chase than let my emotions get in the way of things.I had secretly analyzed my motives for being with Chase..It was one thing to take revenge."The other reason was that I needed to find some kind of pleasure in this filthy and chaotic relationship. I needed to vent my anger and fight for time so that my life can have a buffer and not collapse completely.Chase sent a message at 1 p.m., saying that he was downstairs. I did not expect him to still be downstairs at this hour.He stood in the morning mist with his hands in his po

14Previously, I had been trying to curry favor with Raven's mother. Now that she knew Raven had successfully proposed to me, she was very excited and chatted with me over a video call for nearly two hours, urging Raven to marry me as soon as possible.I pretended to be shy. "Didn't Raven say that there was a headhunter who wanted to poach him? Won't our marriage get in the way of things?"Raven waved his hand repeatedly. "I'm saving trouble for my new company by settling one of my life's biggest matters before joining them, aren't I? If I were to apply for leave to get married as soon as they recruit me, they'd probably get so frustrated.""Oh wow. He can really change everything to be in his favor," I thought.I nodded in agreement. "That makes sense."Before taking a shower, I put some sleeping pills in Raven's drink. By the time I came out, he was already fast asleep.I glanced at him in disgust and went to the study to continue working.My internal evaluation was coming to

Author: Ni HaiI had a crush on an uncle for nine years. I was tortured by how people looked at me in the secular world.Last week, I confessed my love to him, but he refused me. This week, he brought his new girlfriend to my house for dinner.When he went to the bathroom, I blocked him and asked, "Did you find a girlfriend so that I could give up?"He answered peacefully, "Because my heart is vacuous."1Starting from the time when I was a freshman, I had a crush on Adrian Lawson.At that time, he was 35 years old. He came and went freely with his SLR camera. Traveling around the world, he shot many photos that were highly praised by other people.I was also studying photography. I heard his legends and admired him. I wanted to be his pupil, but I dared not say it directly, for fear that it might be a burdensome relationship for him.My method was the stupidest. Whenever I had time, I would go to see him with my camera.He usually crossed me out. Most of the time, I was th

7Ethan was a little frightened. He blushed and swallowed several times. Then, he stammered and said, "O-Okay. There are empty rooms in my house."My tone became more and more ambiguous. "What should happen between us has happened. It doesn't matter whether there is an empty room or not."Ethan blinked his eyes several times and was completely at a loss what to do.I looked provocatively at Adrian, looking forward to his reaction.But he just walked past me at a fast pace and strode to the off-road vehicle. Then he opened the car door."Samantha, I'll send you home."I was silent for a moment. Then, I held Ethan's hand and said with a sweet smile, "No, Uncle Lawson. Please go back by yourself."After saying so, I went in the opposite direction with Ethan and got in his car.After we closed the door, Ethan seemed to be thinking about something complicated for a long time.As I adjusted my seat, I explained, "Don't be afraid. I was just joking. I won't go to your house. Please
