Luke spoke without the slightest hint of impatience.As he finished speaking, the car smoothly entered the hotel parking lot, and a valet quickly came over to greet us.I stepped out of the car alongside Luke and followed him into the hotel. Inside, the place was lavish, with sparkling floors under the bright lights. The staff were impeccably dressed, their faces adorned with polite, professional smiles.As soon as Luke stepped into the lobby, one of the staff recognized him immediately and moved forward to escort us to the elevator.The elevator stopped at the top floor.“This way, Mr. Walker,” the staff member said politely.The top floor featured a stylish, open-air design in summer, but with cooler weather, it was enclosed in glass, offering a panoramic view. On a clear night, you could even spot the stars twinkling in the sky.Dining on this floor required reservations well in advance, with only ten tables served each evening. Tonight, the tables were staggered, so it was j

Luke walked at a relaxed pace, seeming to enjoy this rare moment of free time. I followed quietly, maintaining a respectful distance behind him.The hotel was located in the heart of the city, just a few hundred meters from the central square, only a few minutes’ walk away. Today, the square was especially lively, with a large crowd gathered, all facing east, as if waiting for something.Suddenly, the sound of fireworks launching into the sky pierced the air. Cheers erupted as the fireworks exploded overhead, vibrant and dazzling.There was a grand fireworks display at the square tonight, part of the pre-celebration for an upcoming sports event in Johnsonville. Different kinds of fireworks continued to light up the sky, creating enchanting scenes that momentarily left me overwhelmed.The square, located at the center of Johnsonville, offered a perfect view of the fireworks. The stars twinkled above, complementing the city lights below, giving the entire atmosphere a cozy, romantic

"She’s not my friend. What does it matter to me if she gets isolated?""Wow, how cold can you be? She’s your friend’s cousin! If she gets bullied, your friend will definitely be upset. And you’re just going to stand by and do nothing? Your friends must feel so lucky to have someone like you!" Mia retorted sarcastically."People usually behave themselves in front of the cameras. Jethro is a gentleman; he won’t let Penelope get bullied.""You really think the entertainment industry is that simple, don’t you?" Jenny stood with her arms crossed and legs slightly apart, exuding confidence. "You’ve never been in this industry, yet you’re acting all smart in front of a seasoned pro like me. It’s hilarious."Jenny had been in the entertainment industry for a while, and she knew how things worked. "Don’t let their bad acting fool you—those people you see on TV can win awards for their performances in front of the cameras. If they wanted to make things difficult for your friend’s cousin, it’

I paused for a moment before getting into the car. Luke glanced at Carter’s car before hanging up his call.“Marianne made you breakfast,” Luke said, handing me a takeout bag. Inside were a sandwich, a refreshing salad, and a cup of milk.After sending Marianne a quick thank-you text, I quietly ate my breakfast. Luke and I drove in silence all the way to the office.Once we arrived, I made Luke a cup of coffee and brought it to his office. Then, I went to the break room and called the property management, expressing my frustration that they had allowed Carter into the building.They apologized repeatedly and assured me that Carter wouldn’t be allowed back into the complex.Just after I hung up, the police called, asking about the incident at the hospital the day before. Wanting to ensure Joey and Carter would turn on each other, I stuck to my story—Carter had harassed me first, and Wendy only intervened to protect me.There was no surveillance footage of the incident, but Joey ha

Once I merged into the crowd, I glanced back over my shoulder. A short distance away, I spotted a black sedan moving slowly. The license plate was unfamiliar—I had never seen the car before.To be safe, I called for an Uber. When the Uber entered my neighborhood, the sedan stopped about a hundred meters from the entrance. From that distance, I couldn’t make out the driver’s face.After getting through the front gate and arriving home, I finally exhaled, feeling a bit more at ease.Doggo had been cooped up in a cage for a while and needed to burn off some energy. I unclipped his leash, letting him run free in the yard.I pulled out my phone and called Luke to ask who had been following me.“It was one of Crystal’s people,” he said.“She sent someone to follow me because of Carter’s case?” I asked.Carter had harassed me, but he hadn’t caused any real harm. Even with Stephen being a top-notch lawyer, Carter would at most face a few days in detention, apologize to Wendy and me, and
