Celia’s flush deepened as she realized what Jill had implied. "Jill, how can you say such things?" Jill snorted loudly. "Everyone can see how good Mr. Ward is to you, unlike some people who have been abandoned but still cling to him and won't let go." Fay regarded Jill, her face peculiar. Even though it was only a quick glimpse, Jill was overwhelmed by its weight and was unable to speak. Fay couldn't contain her laughter when she saw that. "Keep talking. Why don't you keep going? Your voice doesn't seem loud enough to me. Will you not speak loud enough for everyone in the room to hear you?”Jill’s face grew serious. "Fay, you resort to these tactics to annoy us because you can't have Teddy!" she replied, gritting her teeth. “But are you certain I'm attempting to irritate you? I think I hit a sore spot.”Fay gave Celia a contemptuous look. "No matter how much you love each other, you're still a mistress, aren't you?" For a brief period, Celia’s face went pale, and tears filled her

Although Celia didn't display her feelings on her face, she was clearly distraught because her chest was heaving.Fay, meanwhile, appeared even more delighted and nonchalantly looked away from Celia to carry on talking into the microphone. "The land in this city's eastern region, which is presently controlled by Marvelous Estates, is our last topic for today. The successful bidder will not only get this property but also get to dance with me." She gave the crowd below a little smile. "Bidding begins at 60 million dollars!" Her smile was small, yet everyone's hearts were readily won by its little curve. “Whoever bought the Marvelous Estates tract of land in the city's eastern section would undoubtedly profit greatly from its advantageous location. It would also give them the opportunity to dance with the ethereal Faye. Such an auction item would entice anyone. Who wouldn't want to try it?” Someone in the crowd murmured to the best person."65 million dollars." "70 million dollars."

"Are you okay, Cel?" Jill reached out to touch Celia’s elbow in anxiety after seeing that she had been silent for some time. However, she was shocked to see Celia’s slightly frightening attitude and hastily removed her hand. She had never realized Celia could pull off such a terrible visage because she had always seen her as innocent and harmless. She reasoned, "It must have been my imagination!" Upon noticing Jill reaction, Celia instantly regained her composure and transformed back into her typical kind and compassionate demeanor. "The event is being organized by Miss Roy. Naturally, Mr. Ward must stick to the original plan since he has been given the added chance to dance with her. In addition, his reputation would suffer if he backed out now because there are a lot of people here." Jill watched intently, and when she saw that Celia’s face was still as sweet and kind as ever, she was positive that her eyes had tricked her."We still need to keep a close eye on Fay," she remark

Warmth warmed Fay’s heart. She grabbed Marc’s hand in one hand and held Mae’s in the other, just like she had done as a child, before resting her head lightly on Mae’s shoulder. "Mom, thank you. I'm grateful, Dad. I'm very happy to have you.” Mae caressed Fay’s silky hair. "Avoid bringing it up. You don't have to give other things a lot of thought. Just keep in mind that your family will always be there for you.”Her mother's remarks brought Fay to the verge of tears, but she resisted the impulse and nodded sincerely. "Okay. Mom, Dad, what are you talking about with Faye?" With a soft smile on his face, Francis entered. "We're just chatting casually." Fay shifted the subject since she didn't want to cause anyone else to worry about her. "What has your business been doing recently, Fran? Why did you take so long to do your work?”"I had a very successful project in the eastern part of the city, and we're currently planning a banquet," Francis turned to Fay. "I still require a fe

Cherry’s look had shifted from one of delight to one of intense disapproval. She glared at Fay with a jealousy that nearly sprang out of her as she clinched her hands. She had often been turned down by the man she wanted despite her unrelenting pursuit of him. However, he was showing such concern and tenderness to another woman. That was completely intolerable to her. Cherry’s expression darkened by the moment as she watched, her jealousy growing. "Mr. Roy, who is she?" she said sharply as she marched resolutely toward Francis and gestured to Fay. Francis furrowed his brow in discomfort at her accusing tone. At first, he had wanted to tell Cherry who Fay was. Nevertheless, he played along since Fay wanted to hide her identity and because not many people knew what the Roy family’s daughter looked like.Rather than revealing to Cheery that Fay was his sister, he responded, "She's my companion for the evening." "Companion?" When Fay was mentioned as his female companion, Cherry was

As she saw the events, Cherry’s anger worsened."Francis can't even handle sweets, and he detests it when others interrupt him when he's speaking. And at this particular moment, that woman is truly bringing dessert over? This should be fascinating, then.” Serena gave a nod of approval. "Francis would never put up with her persistently pushing his limits, even if he had a soft place for her. I'm betting he'll chastise her." "I also concur. Mr. Roy will undoubtedly give that woman a hard time." Lilith added, amusedly glancing at Cherry. "Once Mr. Roy is fed up with that woman, he'll realize you're the best match for him, Cherry." Cherry smirked in response, her face revealing nothing. "Let that woman make a fool of herself if she wants to," she thought. “Francis won't understand that I'm the perfect fit for him until then.”Fay had already gone up to Francis while they were conversing. She eagerly exclaimed while holding up a red velvet cake to him like a treasured item, "Fran, thi

With her palm poised in midair, ready to slap Fay’s glowing face, Cherry’s eyes gleamed malevolently. Fay’s eyes darkened somewhat as she got closer. Then she retreated two paces, avoiding Cherry’s grasp with ease. When Cherry saw this, her face darkened even more, and she hurried to try to catch Fay’s hair. At that moment, Serena, who was watching for Cherry, yelled, "Cherry... Cherry! Stop, stop! Mr. Roy will arrive soon." "Mr. Roy’s coming?!" she said in a panic. Cherry quickly pulled her hand away. Then, with a hint of calculating in her face, she looked at Fay. With the intention of slapping her, Cherry’s instantly swung her hand, but instead she slapped herself. Then there was a loud smack that reverberated through the corridor. Her cheek immediately developed five different red markings as a result. Startled, Fay wondered, "Did she just slap herself? What is she attempting to do? However, she quickly realized Cherry’s goal. Cherry cried as she stared pathetically at Fr

"Cherry, are you okay?" Serena worriedly said as she hurried over to take Cherry by the arm. Cherry leaned against the wall, taking a full 10 seconds to catch her breath before she was able to gather herself. Then she pushed Serena’s hand away gently and stood up. Looking in the direction Fay and Francis had gone, she had a somber expression. "Just be patient. I will not allow that wretch to escape punishment for this.”Serena gulped nervously, recalling what Francis had said before he left, and then cautiously reiterated, "But Cherry, Mr. Roy seems to care for that woman. If you make another attempt and annoy him..." Before she could say anything further, Cherry abruptly and icily interrupted her. "I don't need to hear that from you. I am aware of my actions! Francis and my family are now discussing a significant agreement. My father used to say that he and other businesspeople prioritize benefits over all else. He wouldn't give up on such a significant endeavor due to a woman. The

The assistant to the photographer appeared completely perplexed, her expression a mask of incredulity. Reece had already come over to Fay and joyfully grasped her hand, his eyes practically glowing with delight. "Faye... Is that you? I believed I wouldn't see you again in my lifetime. I'm really glad I ran into you here.” His enthusiasm caused him to tighten his hold on Fay’s hand, causing her to writhe uneasily."Could you maybe let go of me first, then we talk?" Fay asked with a hint of frustration after straining for some time without being able to free herself. Reece saw that his strong grip on her wrist was wrong. He swiftly withdrew his hand and apologized to her, his attractive face showing a hint of embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I got too excited and lost control for a moment.""It's okay," Fay said, waving it aside with a kind grin. “Since high school, we haven't spent much time together. It is good to see you once more.”Reece’s eyes glowed even brighter. "Really? I assumed y

His voice could hardly be heard when he spoke. Fay asked after hearing him talk but not fully understanding what he was saying, somewhat bewildered, "What did you say?" Reece bowed his head, concealing the glimmer of love that nearly appeared on his face. Then, in an uncomfortable response, he said, "It... It was nothing." Fay knew that he might not want to tell, so she didn't ask. "Let's eat then." "Alright." Reece raised his gaze once again. Any unbridled feelings he had previously displayed were now neatly concealed. "We've been talking for so long, and I haven't asked you yet," he remarked. “Over the last four years, where have you been? How come none of our social circles have told me anything about you?”In actuality, he had looked everywhere and asked a lot of people, but he had not heard anything about her. Reece had experienced extreme depression at the time and had briefly lost himself. But just when he thought his high school hidden crush would go unanswered, Fay sudden
