She was accompanied by a man who looked like he was trying very hard to appear important. "Oh, look, Gerald!" the woman shrieked, her voice gratingly familiar. "It’s one of those Townsville cars! So… industrial, don't you think?" Carrie turned and felt a surge of recognition. It was Sonia Vance, a distant niece of Baron Vance and a woman Carrie had the misfortune of knowing during her early years in the Wisteria social scene. Sonia had always been a social climber of the highest order, known for her sharp tongue and her desperate need for validation.

Her delusional mind was shattered into pieces and her heart trembled with fear at the possibility that something terrible might happen and foil her plans.

What did I do?" Lily almost shoved her head into the wall.

“My goodness, you scared the life out of me!” Aunt Caroline was a short and plump woman in her mid-forties. Her hair was always dyed blonde because she took after her idol Madonna. She kept her face hidden with all the cosmetics she covered it. The only time she was seen without her make-up was when she applied facial mask. “Aunt Caroline? What’s got you all fired up?” Yet inside Ellaine’s head she was still thinking about the empty town and the huge tree. “You were having a bad dream!”

CHAPTER 109 Charlotte's POV I smiled widely as I read Hazel's letter aloud to Roberta. “Hopefully one of these days, I will come back to you with Vincenzo. Yours truly, H”, I read aloud, beaming like a child. Roberta sat down on the floor with her hands crossed in front of her as she looked up, frowning at the darkness above her. “It seems that Vincenzo will agree to join me as my partner. He's even willing to put behind that nastiness of me killing you and the kids”, I scoffed.

Karina's eyes sparkled as if a kilogram of glitter had just spilled into her old brown eyes when she saw Scarlett appear in front of her. Without waiting for a signal, Karina immediately stood up and reached out her hand enthusiastically. "Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Karina. I'm... Viggo's friend," Karina said eagerly. Karina glanced at Viggo and then hissed, "Why didn't you tell me that you and Scarlett are cousins?!" Viggo shrugged his shoulders, unaware that Scarlett would be so famous and that Karina was even a fan.

Vic walked around the rounded room with her mouth open, “You made all of these?” she asked and the sound of Maddelena Volkov’s light laughter floated around the already full room. “Yes, as the daughter of a powerful man and the wife of an even more powerful man, I don’t get a lot of opportunities to shop in actual stores or leave the comfort of my own compound.” she said as she walked back into the center of the room. She handed Vic a pile of different colored silk and satin feeling fabrics. “It’s not as damsel in distress, princess locked in a gilded cage as it sounds, but you can open doors for yourself if you know where to look.” she said and winked at Vic who gave her an ear-to-ear smile

Carissa's voice broke the silence, feeling she had convinced Maricela. "Miss Carissa, may I ask why I should target the most promising talent in our company? If I partner with someone like you, I'm afraid that one day I'll be betrayed and still have to help you count the profits!" Maricela quickly realized that the person standing in front of her was Carissa – someone she found even more distasteful than Kathy. Despite feeling a sense of satisfaction over the incident where she had colluded with the media to tarnish Kathy's reputation, Maricela was not oblivious to the fact that individuals who acted without any moral boundaries were likely to betray their colleagues. While she took pride in

I sat on the edge of a king bed with my coat still on. Our home had been beautiful too. I had called it beautiful in three different magazine interviews, under the byline Dr. Halloran, Ironbound's private internal-medicine physician. I had watered Barrett's mother's orchids. I had alphabetized his books. The house had never been mine. I had been an ornament in it. I pulled my phone out. I opened the V.C. message again. Three years ago, Vitalis Corp had offered me a senior research post in Silvercrest territory. The offer had come down the corporate channel. The personal line underneath said Call me anytime, Elena. It had been signed K.

"My wedding to Brad is next week. I do hope you’ll come." Then, so faint I almost missed it, "Don't think your little games can break me. I'm clever, too. Just you wait, Carmen. I will have my revenge." Alexander walked in at that moment, and she quickly retreated to where Brad was waiting. "Moss Corporation is operational again," Alexander informed me, his expression grim.

Vivian pov I let out a cold laugh before driving away. Hiz bodyguard whispered, "Sir, she's driving your car." "Shut up. From now on, she’s our family’s savior, my great-aunt, Vivian Carter," he replied. Ryan Hunt suddenly felt a wave of relief. Thank goodness the person he bumped into while drunk was Scarlett Hayes.
