[Baton Rouge] Victor was done with his business in New Orleans; he held a lively and memorable grand opening for the New Orleans branch store of the Vyctrous, and his business with the Smith family had brought him many surprises. "I'm still a little dumbfounded by what I know now." Victor muttered, making the woman beside him ask. "What's happen, Sir?" Victor realized that he had made Ella interested by what he had said, while it was his personal business. Victor shook his head. The car pulled up in front of the office building, Victor getting out first and Ella following behind. "How was your day in New Orleans, Ella?" asked Victor, walking with Ella into the building. "It was your first business trip as my assistant, wasn't it?" "Yes, sir, and it was quite enjoyable. I've never been on such a pleasant business trip in my latest companies before." Victor smiled; quite pleased to hear the impression Ella had of the business he owned. Ella had only been on the job for two mont
An unexpected arrival for everyone in Antonio Leighton's mansion at the moment. For a guest had come in his eccentric appearance and said he wanted to congratulate a newborn grandson.The eccentric appearance was not because of his shiny, glitter-filled clothes, but because he, Victor Leighton, was carrying a famous car and several boxes of diamonds. What's even more absurd is that Victor says it's all a gift for Verlaine and Maria's newborn son."No one told me about the birth of my first nephew, but no matter." Victor smiled casually as he shrugged his shoulders and said, "CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME BABY BOY, UNCLE COMES TO SEE YA. DON'T YOU WANT TO SEE ME, YOUR AMAZING UNCLE VICTOR!"All the servants who came to receive Victor's gift looked a little distressed. Not just because the person they used to mock and despise was now carrying a lot of diamonds; but because it made them feel intimidated and they didn't even dare to speak to Victor.Their minds seemed to be saying, "I'd bet
"Do you know my mother?" That was Victor's brief response to Sahara's words. It was nice to hear Sahara praise her late mother, but hearing it from someone who had never been close to Rose only made Victor feel slightly amused. Victor hoped Sahara wasn't saying that just to comfort Victor, or out of pity. "I'm sorry, did I sound like I was trying to look familiar with your mother?" asked Sahara, looking a little awkward. "I've only spoken to her a few times and we're not close, but the Rose I know is a strong but gentle Rose." Victor looked at Sahara. "What do you mean, you were friends without anyone knowing?" "Actually Rose is a nice person and fun to talk to, I always liked the times I could talk to her like a friend; it's like little sentences marked with color when the whole book is just black and white. I wish I could tell her that I'm glad she wants to be my friend, even though at first she also thought I would bother her like Madame Sera and Madame Giselle did." "Wow...
[Denver]Tiffany came to see her brother, Jayden, who still hospitalized due to his pretty serious injury. Jayden already concious, but he still so weak that the hospital couldn't let him met some people in a day."How's your feeling, Jay?" Tiffany asked."More way better than before. I think it's because a lot blood I lost, but when my body is getting better, I'm sure I could acompanny you to another vacation.""Stupid!""What?" Jayden sound effended, looking at Tiffany and felt silent when he saw his little sister was about to crying. "Hey, little lady, are you crying?""What a silly words to say! How can you you say it in a calm way while I almost going crazy the first time I saw you bleeding like a float!"Jayden still weak, he couldn't sit yet but he wanted to hold Tiffany to calmed her down."Tiffany, don't cry. I am okay now," he said, but Tiffany still needed some time to stop crying.Jayden only held Tiffany's hand and waiting.After Tiffany finished crying, Jayden smiled wit
"Ethan?"Ethan walked up to Tiffany who was silent and looked incredulous at his arrival. How could she not? She hadn't seen Ethan or talked to him in a long time because he was so busy, and the day Jayden got hurt, Ethan didn't show himself either.But today Ethan came, not even smiling at Tiffany who missed him and instead being cold to Xiel."Why do you keep talking like you're urging him? Didn't you hear that he wanted to take a break from training?" Ethan asked Xiel, seemingly annoyed with Xiel.Xiel just looked down, unable to fight back even though he was a little annoyed by Ethan's arrival."I'm sorry, Mr. Ethan. I was just giving advice to Tiffany as her teacher.""If you're her teacher, give her advice at school. Did you need to come here just to ask her to come to practice? Do you know it makes her uncomfortable?""I'm sorry, I'm sorry again."Ethan said nothing, leaving and acting indifferent to Xiel. He took Tiffany's hand to leave, but just a few steps into the walk, Tif
Ethan opened the door to his mother's room without knocking first. There was Karina lying on the bed wearing a mask, taking care of her skin, while a lot of work files were piled up on her desk. "Mom." Ethan called out, there was no reaction and it made Ethan think Karina was sleeping. But she wasn't. "Hearing someone open my bedroom door without knocking, I guessed that my firstborn was here," Karina threw away the cucumber that covered her eyes and looked at Ethan with a smile as she sat up. "Welcome back, Ethan; do you still want a hug from me?" Ethan didn't look interested. He approached his mother's bed and said, "Do you know where Tiffany is now?" Karina glanced at her watch and casually replied, "Isn't it piano practice time? She must have gone to practice with Mr. Addams. I heard the piano competition is coming up soon, I can't wait to see it." "Mom, do you know that man? Why did you let Tiffany go with him without giving her a bodyguard?" "Tiffany asked me not to give h
Ethan was frozen, his face full of disbelief as he heard someone talking through the cell phone he was still holding.His eyes were full of anger, slightly making his pupils tremble and he put the phone away before it smashed in his grasp.The only thing he wanted to say at the moment was, "How dare...."***"I'll see you at practice later, Tiffany.""You too, Mr. Axel."Xiel ended his class and a little conversation with Tiffany with a sweet smile as always. After the bullying incident and the violent video played in the school hall, it seemed like Tiffany had a better social life with her friends.Xiel noticed that Tiffany's face became brighter and more cheerful not just because of him, but because Tiffany had friends who she could talk to casually during class or who would take her to lunch together.Xiel had not come to have fun, let alone to take care of the daughter of the man who had ruined his life. But somehow when he thought of Tiffany's development, Xiel felt something lik
Ethan still didn't react, probably due to the overwhelming confusion he felt. He had no clue, letting Xiel laugh at him. "Who is that woman you're talking about?" asked Ethan, seemingly very curious. Xiel happily answered him. "Elina Stacy, back then she was cooperating in a construction project funded by your father—but it turned out that the funds he used were forbidden money." Ethan was again silent and dumbfounded when he heard that name. "If you've really been following the case against your father, you should be familiar with that name. She and your father were the only ones found guilty; your father was convicted, but Elina Stacy punished herself in the worst possible way." Ethan remembered that name, and what happened to her. "And the boy you're referring to is...." "Yes, that's me." Ethan didn't expect that; he also wondered what was really going on that he didn't know. "What evidence do you say can prove your mother's innocence? How can you think that my father is hid
