Charlotte had a great sleep, even though she slept late.Surely, she did not expect to see the ghastly news about her daughter on a random news channel. This was like her worst nightmare coming true in the shittiest way possible.“W-Who? W-What news channel dares to spread this news?” Charlotte was anxious, but she was furious even more so. She quickly came down the stairs, already calling her PA. “Ma’am, this isn’t just one channel,” Connie said, changing the channel using a tiny remote. “It’s coming on multiple channels.”“W-Wait,” she squinted her eyes. “W-Why does the anchor look like me… in all these channels?”Now that Charlotte mentioned, both Connie and Kyra were able to recognize the anchors who looked like different versions of Charlotte from her younger days.“Which bastard is playing this trick on us?” Kyra’s gut growled in rage.One of those channels was owned by the Lynn family. Another channel was owned by the Heller family, which made no freaking sense at all. Why wou

After the shopping was done, it was time for eating. Jessica didn’t want to spend too much of Elora’s money, so she ordered egg sandwiches for everyone.Elora quickly told the waiter to bring a different item for her.“Do you not like sandwiches?” Jessica asked.“No. Look over there,” Elora pointed at another table, where another customer was eating an egg sandwich. “They don’t just seem to dry out the bread but also dip the whole thing in oil. That’s not good. They already add egg and cheese inside, so oil on top of that is a bad combination for many reasons. Having some fat on the body is good, but too much fat is poison. It’s the worst slow poison out there.”“T-Then why didn’t you let us order something else?”“You two are young, so your stomachs can withstand unhealthy food better than mine,” Elora’s reply left Jessica speechless.“I think about health or calories many times a week, but all those calculations go out of my brain when I smell street made food,” Jessica said. “If I

Roddick didn’t just throw a party for his friends. When one of his male friends proposed to a female friend, and she agreed to marry him, Roddick then wrote them a check of 200,000 dollars so they could enjoy a trip for their honeymoon before the marriage. This made everyone talk greatly about Roddick.Even though Roddick wasn’t so magnanimous all the time, he was clearly in a great mood now. And he was also someone who always supported his friends when it came to their love. Having said that, he almost slept with every female that would attend his party, so he had no morals in that regard.If anybody were to spend some time with Roddick, and as long as they agree with him on things, they would think he was a very good guy.On one hand, Roddick was very happy that his father, Charlotte, Kyra, and Liam would be facing consequences of the news that had been leaked. On the other hand, Roddick had already begun to investigate and find out who leaked the news. Was it his mother, or was it

Russell’s smile hit a sudden break. “W-What?”“I don’t behave so jovially with anyone else, Russell,” Jessica said without looking at him. “Maybe, that’s why you don’t get my feelings, but I’m also… a woman, Russell. I already told you what’s in my heart, but back then, you were in a bind. Now, things have changed, haven't they?”Russell’s lips squeezed together. “I…” He was sure that he was still being targeted by Roddick Heller. And then he wasn’t sure how Charlotte or Kyra would make his life difficult in the future. There was so much uncertainty in his life, and he didn’t want to drag Jessica into his messy life. After all, he knew to an extent what Roddick was capable of. If something were to happen to Jessica because of him, he’d regret it for the rest of his life.Seeing Russell struggling to answer, Jessica said, “I know I may be rushing, because it hasn’t been long since you separated from that rich woman, but… I’m just telling you… I’m still… thinking about you. And I’ll wai

Russell didn’t understand why she was giving him such a death stare all of a sudden. He stopped looking at her as that was the best he could do in that situation. He didn’t want to start a conversation with her in front of everyone else. Even though she didn’t get any proper response for his action, Jessica controlled herself by blowing some air into her closed mouth, which made the front part of her mouth swell a little. She added the green leaf curry to her plate, properly mixed it with a section of rice and was putting it in her mouth with the help of a spoon, but then her left foot was scratched again. The spoon stopped just before it reached her mouth. She almost mechanically turned her head toward Russell, but he wasn’t even looking at her. How can he do this to her after hurting the way he had only minutes ago? Was he thinking that he’d be forgiven if he were to act like nothing ever happened. She remembered telling him that she was a woman and not just some friend who loved
