Semua Bab Hot Shot Divorce: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Disgust flashed in the Clarks' eyes at the sight of how ridiculous Lana looked.Indeed, they had hoped that Liam and Lana would get a divorce. Yet her audacity to return to Clark Residence afterward was just foolish."Do you expect us to welcome you with open arms now that you're divorced?""You're trash who's no longer part of the family. Why are you here?"Not a single one of the Clarks offered Lana any comfort. Instead, they collectively mocked her.However, this was nothing new to Lana. She was accustomed to it since this was just how things were. She was the unloved adopted daughter of the Clark family!In the past, Zeke and Sarah had trouble having children despite having been married for years. Hence, they had gone to the Child Welfare Institute and adopted Lana.To their surprise, Sarah discovered her pregnancy after they had brought Lana home. They had wanted to return Lana to the welfare institute, but adoption papers had already been signed.The institution refused t

Nadia finally understood that the Clark family considered her a huge pain.It was no wonder that Zeke and Sarah had stopped her treatment after she had been in a car accident. Her leg could have been healed, but she had been left crippled because of their decision.It turned out that she was just a burden to them.Since Nadia was a disabled person, even if she wanted to leave the Clark family, she might not be able to survive in the outside world. She couldn't help but lament her predicament.As she was feeling hopeless and miserable, someone's soft hand held her hands. She turned to look at the person.Even with thick makeup on, Lana's bright, beautiful eyes still shone through. Anyone who looked into her eyes would feel as if all their worries had disappeared."Aunt Nadia, leave with me," said Lana.Lana had to repay the kindness Nadia had shown her.She would never forget the most difficult few years she had lived through with the Clark family. Nadia was the one who had prot

"Why should I trust you?" He was experienced for his age, so he wasn't easily fooled. Apart from business risks, developing a menu and experimenting with new dishes required a significant amount of money. He can't afford to take such a risk anymore.Lana remained calm upon hearing this. Her bright eyes looked around the shop."Because your shop can't sustain itself anymore. Am I wrong?"The boss' expression stiffened.Indeed, the landlord had come knocking just yesterday because he hadn't paid rent for three months.If the business didn't pick up this month, he would have no choice but to close the shop and return to the countryside."You still have a chance as long as you try, as opposed to waiting around to go bankrupt. Isn't trying better than doing nothing? Can the situation get worse than it is now?"Lana's words tempted him. In the end, he gritted his teeth in painful realization and extended his hand to her."I'm Peter Walton. Welcome."Lana shook his hand in respon

In the midst of a tense atmosphere, a booming shout broke the silence."You brat! Just shut up!"George grabbed Lana's hand and stood up. "Girl, you've got guts."Lana patted the dust off his clothes for him. "You didn't hurt yourself from that fall, did you?"Although he was limping, he chuckled joyfully. "I didn't hurt myself from the fall, but how did you know I wasn't paralyzed? None of those brats in my family have a clue. How did you figure it out?"Lana shut her eyes and sniffed the air. "The scent of your ointment is so strong. It's hard not to notice!"George was speechless.His ointment was basically odorless and had fooled dozens of people. How could this young girl say it had a strong smell?The others soon realized the truth through Lana and George’s conversation."Is the ghost from Tyler’s house his grandpa?""My goodness, this is impressive! How could she know that?""I was almost scared to death by that fat guy just now. Boss is so amazing for standing up a

Peter and Jane looked at each other, unable to answer the girl's question.Lana emerged from the kitchen in an apron."Yes, as long as you share your post on your public feed and keep it there for over three days, we will give you free vegan tacos.""That's great. Look, I shared this post on my feed three days ago." The girl walked in confidently and showed her phone to Lana.After confirming everything was in order, Lana led her to a table. "What can I get for you?""I'd like to order a carbonara. I can enjoy it with the tacos later.""Sure, please wait a moment."Peter and Jane didn't expect that this was just the beginning.Their pasta restaurant was unexpectedly crowded in less than half an hour, reminiscent of its past glory.What was even more astonishing was that Lana seemed to have grown an extra pair of hands. She effortlessly catered to the customers that entered, serving them pasta back and forth."Goodness, Peter, am I seeing things, or is this our restaurant?""
