Then, the assistant explained everything to Anna, excluding the part of him failing to save Collins and even hurling insults at Nichola.*Nichola and Liliana were already back in the taxi, heading to the company. All the way, Liliana couldn't keep still and calm. She was bubbling with excitement, as she felt a swell of satisfaction and pride. " What?" With arched brows, Nichola turned to Liliana lazily and asked. " That was impressive! You are great! I just can't believe it!" Liliana exclaimed immediately, covering her mouth while smiling. She didn't hold herself from complimenting Nichola heartily. Nichola chuckled, already expecting that. " I just did what I know." " But what you know was amazing! I have never seen something like that. Do you always carry the needles? Where do you learn such a thing like that? Since you are really good, you should be in the medicine world and not at skyline." She blabbered non stop, rubbing the tips of her fingers together while she adjusted h
.. Suddenly, Anna pulled her lower lip and glanced at her grandfather's stoical expression. " Is that what you want? I will do it then." She lowered her head after her words, biting the inside of her cheek silently. Collins' face brightened as soon as he heard this, blinking his eyes repeatedly.." Do you mean what you just said?" He thought he didn't hear her well.." Yes, Grandpa." Anna nodded. " In fact, I will see him this night."Although, she didn't believe it was Nichola, who saved her grandfather, but she was willing to lie just to make her grandfather feel pleased. Collins' face glinted a look of satisfaction, and he relaxed even more. *** It was getting late now, but Nichola and Liliana had already gotten to Nina's place and even having a nice time together. The same night, Sarah went to meet Jack in his condominium. Knocking violently and loudly, Sarah was prepared to break Jack's door at all cost and even deal with him! She felt betrayed and couldn't let it
Anna snapped her head up and smiled at her friend. However, the instant her eyes landed on Nichola, who was accompanying Liliana, her expression twisted rapidly.Of course, how could her expression not falter when she saw the only man, who dared to reject her without even thinking! How audacious! However, Liliana failed to notice the hostility in the air, except for Nichola. Nichola curled his lips amusingly but didn't comment. " Anna! Thank you coming! I guess you already know I am famished! I was so engrossed in watching the news about the coming of the Redgrave that I forgot to have my breakfast. Luckily, you brought something for me. Girl, I must say you are a life saver!" Liliana exclaimed happily, blabbering with an excited face, and she rubbed her hands together. " C'mon girlfriend, it's just a meal." Anna rolled her eyes in a jovial manner and gestured for Lily to have a seat. " Don't waste time. The food will get cold. I want you to have it while it hot." " O
Two days flew past very fast, and the expected waiting day came. Almost every citizens in the country were eager to celebrate the coming of the Redgraves again, especially those who knew the true story. A five star luxury well decorated hotel was picked for the banquet. Once it was seven in the evening, the guests who are the wealthy families in the country and others, started arriving and making their way in. It didn't take long for the hall to be filled. Anna and Lily were having a drink together in the hall, discussing happily as they went to greet some of their wealthy friends. Everyone in the hall were satisfied. It was obvious they were all excited, most importantly the investment the Redgraves announced. Lisa was also in the hall, but she couldn't socialize with so many people without the help of Mark. Then, she stood up with a glass of wine in her hand and decided to look for Mark. In the same moment, Nichola was just arriving at the banquet. Lisa came outsi
They were terrified, and their expressions paled! No, they can't be exposed just like that! Swiftly, Mark ran to a corner and made a call to someone unknown.." Delete the outside footage asap! I don't want to be implicated! After you are done, message me, and I will send you your pay as usual!" After instructing the strange person, he hung up and went back to meet Lisa. At this moment, Oliver had called the person in charge of the surveillance cameras..Soon, the footage was sent to him. Nichola waited patiently.Oliver was unaware of anything and opened the footage to have a look, however all he saw was a blank view. His brows pulled together deeply, obviously dissatisfied! " Did someone tampered with this ?!" He roared out, glancing around. " There is nothing here! What's going on?!" Hearing this, Mark secretly rejoiced and curled his lips satisfactory..Lisa was stunned and didn't understand what was happening. Nichola didn't react. It was as if he was already expec
Nichola slowly turned to them anxiously, his nerves tensing. " Mum, Dad, is that you two?" He pointed to the two unfamiliar faces staring at him keenly. " So, this is really you two? How did you survive, and why didn't you look for me all these while? Why do you have to make me suffer all these years?!" Leonard and Maria, who were the real parents of Nichola, stood unmoving, their eyelids dropping, and they were overwhelmed with a guilty feeling. They were even lost on how to explain the whole story to Nichola. Nichola smiled bitterly, shifting his gaze away from them. " You don't have to say anything. I am already aware of the whole story since my foster parents explained everything to me." Hearing this, Leonard and Maria's expression gradually relaxed, and their mouths curved into a slight smile.." We are sorry son." They shook their head apologetically. " We are truly guilty for that, and we only did that to protect you. If we didn't do that, you might have gotten killed
Liliana's heart stopped a beat, and a flush creeped onto her face.." What do you mean, Nichola?" Nichola placed a finger on her lips and could feel how nervous Liliana was at the moment. " I promise I will take the responsibility." He assured her and leaned more closer to her. ** In a private room, two people were entwined together, seemingly not caring about the outside world, as they moaned and dived into the overwhelming sensation and addicting pleasure. Sounds of skin slapping at each other resounded around the whole room, a testament to the severity of their union. The temperature was thick and hot, lacing with a familiar pungent smell....*** Previously, when Lily went to the restroom, Anna decided to meet up with one of her loyal underlings in the banquet. " Miss Anna," a familiar waiter approached Anna and bowed. Anna didn't even bother to glance at the waiter but said haughtily, with a contemptous expression. " Don't come close to me. Can't you talk f
All of a sudden, her eyes landed on a piece of shiny emerald ear ring.. Anna's eyes flickered with an inexplicable emotion, and she immediately took the piece of emerald ear ring. " This belongs to Liliana.." She checked the ear ring carefully and turned to Dane. Dane snatched the ear ring from Anna's hand hardly, and his eyes even became fiercer! " It shouldn't be what I am thinking! If anything happens to my daughter, I will hold you responsible!" He threatened Anna, his brows snapping together deeply! Anna trembled, knowing she couldn't escape this. This was when something struck her, and her eyes went wide on her own. " Mr. Rossi, I remember there is a tracker on Liliana's ear rings. There is only a pair here. The other pair might be with Liliana. Why don't we try...and track that?" She swallowed down nervously as she suggested in trembling voice, a sweat tickling down from her face. Dane found her idea useful, and he didn't waste a time to order his men! " Locate
