The flash camera caught Elora, who was posing while holding several brand products belonging to Anastasia Braun that were soon to be launched. She was the brand's ambassador."Okay, done!" said the cameraman while lowering the camera. Elora sighed as she took off her 10 cm high heels, which made her feet red and sore. She walked over to the shooting team to see her photos.“How's the photo? Is it good?" Elora asked.“Yes, it's totally great! I'm sure Miss Anastasia will be very happy to have you as a brand ambassador," they praised Elora."I hope so," said Elora, smiling proudly.Elora's assistant approached and whispered to Elora. "Miss Elora, the photo shoot is finished now, right?" she asked.Elora nodded. "Yes, everything is finished," she answered as she stepped away from the team.Elora's assistant had received a message from Edward saying that he was waiting at the hotel where Elora would be staying tonight. Edward had prepared a surprise there. Therefore, Elora's assistant wa
Quincy walked towards the employee dining room, and he heard a woman exclaiming and calling his name."Quincy, wait!"Quincy recognized the woman's voice. He stopped and turned to Elena, who rushed over to him."Quincy, how are you today?" Elena asked as they continued their steps.“I'm fine, and you?” Quincy responded.“I'm fine too. How about yesterday's event? Did you manage to meet the heir?” Elena looked at Quincy with a curious gaze."Yesterday's event went well, and the heir liked our welcome," Quincy answered."So, have you met him?"Quincy nodded. "Of course." But Quicny's expression didn't seem to show any joy. He was still thinking about the heir's face, which was so similar to Elena's husband's. They exactly looked like the same person.Seeing Quincy's strange expression, Elena frowned. "Are you okay?""Yeah, I'm okay," said Quincy with a reassuring smile. "Hmm, Elena, may I know what your husband does?" Quincy asked hesitantly.“He works in a restaurant as a waiter; somet
The shopkeeper approached the supervisor and stopped the action. "Sir, but I don't think you should be careless in calling the police before he is proven to have stolen," she said.The supervisor lowered his cell phone from his ear with a sigh. He looked at the shopkeeper in annoyance. "Didn't you see that he was proven to have stolen the ring?""Yes, I see, sir. But we can check the CCTV footage to see whether he actually stole it or not.”“Yeah, you're right. We'd better check the CCTV first," another shopkeeper chimed in.The supervisor wanted to prevent them from checking the CCTV, but all the shopkeepers present agreed to the decision. He was silent and let them check the CCTV footage. “What are they going to do with the CCTV? Besides, I also turned it off earlier," the supervisor muttered, grinning.Leon didn't feel guilty at all because he didn't steal the ring. Two shopkeepers watched him so he wouldn't run away.Not long after, the shopkeeper on duty, checking CCTV footage, r
"Welcome, Mr. Alessandro.”Leon turned his body to face them. He believed the man the employees referred to as Mr. Alessandro was an important person in this shop. He walked over to him."Excuse me."Leon's voice made Alessandro turn his head to look at him. He saw Leon carrying a paper bag with the shop's brand name on it, so he immediately identified Leon as a customer. Alessandro smiled friendly at Leon."Is there anything we can do to help, sir?"Leon glanced at the supervisor, and the man looked uneasy looking at Leon.“This is my first time going to this shop, but I got very bad service. While I was shopping, suddenly he deliberately put a ring in my bag. He also deliberately turned off the CCTV camera," said Leon while pointing at the supervisor.Alessandro looked confused when he heard Leon's accusation. "Sorry, sir, but he is the supervisor at this shop. He couldn't have put the ring in your bag," he responded.Leon snorted. “But the truth is, he actually did it. He has a gru
Edward and Elora were at a restaurant having lunch while discussing their wedding. Elora's gaze seemed fixated on her iPad."Edward, what do you think if I choose this theme?" Elora asked while showing a picture of the venue on her iPad.Edward looked at the picture, then responded, "I don't think it's suitable, but if you like it, we can choose it."Elora's expression suddenly turned sullen. She sighed as she went back to choosing other themes."I told you if you like it, we can choose it," said Edward."I'd better look for something you like better," replied Elora.Max came to the restaurant to meet Edward. Wilhelm asked Max to talk to Edward about the company's new project.Seeing Max's arrival, Edward and Elora looked up at him."Sorry if I disturb you, but Uncle asked me to meet you," said Max with a small smile."You can sit down, Max," Edward ordered.Max took his seat between Edward and Elora. The atmosphere became a little awkward after Max arrived. Seeing that Elora was busy
Edward pulled a chair and sat in it, but his eyes were still glued to Chelsea's table.Elora noticed Edward looking at another woman, then rebuked him.“Ehem! Can't you just stop looking at her for a second?” Elora quipped.Edward immediately turned his gaze to Elora in panic. "I'm sorry, I just—" He looked confused, and his mind suddenly went blank.“Elora, I—”Elora rolled her eyes as she looked away from Edward. She was angry with her fiancé.“You're really annoying!” Elora complained.Max turned towards Chelsea's table to see the face of the woman who made Edward keep staring at her."I think Elora is prettier than her," Max muttered, then his gaze returned to Edward.“Elora, please forgive me. I saw her by accident, but I don't know who she is.” Edward continued to persuade Elora, but the woman didn't want to hear it.A man wearing dark glasses, a polo shirt, and matching color trousers stepped into the restaurant. He was a tall guy with an athletic body. His arrival immediately
Leon nodded his head, confirming Alessandro's question.Alessandro bowed his body and smiled at Leon, not caring that the man didn't look according to the dress code. He was very happy to see that Leon was willing to attend his birthday party.“Welcome to my party, Master. I've been waiting for you for a long time, and now I'm very happy to see you here," said Alessandro, showing his gratitude toward Leon.“But I don't want to take off my mask. If you mind, then I'll leave right away," said Leon, giving him two options."Sir, you can wear whatever you want; my party is still open for you," replied Alessandro with a smile."Thank you, Alessandro."Leon stepped into the ballroom. His arrival, walking side by side with Alessandro, immediately caught the attention of the people there. Seeing Alessandro being so respectful towards him, they could conclude that he must be a very important guest. There were many guests from high society at the party tonight, but they didn't see Alessandro gr
Leon realized that Edward was watching him. He also changed his position so that his back was facing Edward.“Do you know where Edward Lackner lives?” Leon asked Alessandro.“As far as I know, Edward Lackner doesn't live in Wellington, sir. He came to Wellington on business. If I'm not wrong, tomorrow he will return to his hometown, Auckland," answered Alessandro."So he'll be back there tomorrow?" Leon responded.Alessandro nodded. "Yes sir."Leon immediately took his cell phone and sent all the evidence to the butler, including information about Edward, who was flying to Auckland tomorrow. They couldn't make Edward suspicious, or else Edward might run away.The party was over. Leon was seen rushing to leave the ballroom, but Alessandro stopped him.“Master.” Alessandro's voice made Leon stop in his tracks. He turned to the man."I'm sorry, Master, I just wanted to give this to you," said Alessandro with a little bow, and he handed over a box to Leon.Leon frowned. "What's this?" He
Leon and Jane come to Havelock to meet Elena's parents. When they got there, they saw, from a distance, Elena's parents, who were busy moving their belongings into a car.“Leon, are they Elena's parents?” Jane asked."Yes, they are Elena's parents."Jane frowned at them. It seemed like they wanted to move, considering the large suitcases they were moving into the car.“Jane, this way!” Leon grabbed Jane's hand and asked her to go through the back lane of the house because they didn't want Elena's parents to see them coming.“Hurry Renee! The sooner we leave, the happier we will be," said Joe, looking intently at his wife, who was moving a box into the car.Renee took a deep breath as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. “I'm so tired, Joe. Are you sure to leave here?” She looked at her house with teary eyes. “This house holds a lot of memories.”“If we don't leave soon, then we'll still be dealing with Leon. I want to live in peace, especially since we already have a lot of money an
Dean was at his parents' house. Because his parents decided to live in the United States, the house was his. He was at the dining table, enjoying his breakfast.While he was spreading peanut butter on his bread, a maid suddenly came to him."Good morning, master," said the maid with a little bow. "What's the matter?" Dean responded."Mr. Rexa has just arrived, sir."Dean gasped. What's more, his father just moved to the United States a few days ago. Why did he suddenly fly to New Zealand?“He is here?”"Yes sir. He—" Before the maid had finished her words, Rexa's arrival diverted their gaze.“Father.” Dean immediately got up from his seat.“No need to be surprised. I flew here suddenly because I had business to finish," said Rexa as he poured juice into his glass and then drank it.“I've handled everything, Father. So I don't think you need to come here suddenly like this," replied Dean, crossing his arms over his stomach.Rexa was silent and did not reply to his son's words.“Then w
“Belinda, what happened?” William approached Belinda, and Dean moved away from her.William stared sharply at Dean, as if suspicious of him.“There's a group of men with guns, sir. We don't know who they are, but suddenly they came into this room and shot Mrs. Belinda," explained one of Belinda's assistants. William's gaze turned towards her.“That's right, sir,” another assistant chimed in.William was silent for a moment. Seeing that no one else had been shot made him believe that the group of men wanted to attack his family.“Quickly take Belinda to the hospital! She must get medical help before it's too late," William ordered his subordinates. They immediately took Belinda away from there.The police came out of the room to immediately find out the whereabouts of the group of men. Everyone left the room, except William and Dean.Dean stepped forward, and when he reached the doorway, William spoke to him."Aren't you the son of Rexa Romano? What are you doing here?" William asked D
The sound of the cell phone ringing distracted Leon's gaze. The man immediately took his cell phone from his pocket and accepted the call. He got a call from his subordinate.“Good afternoon, young master. There is something we want to tell you.”"What is that?" Leon's eyebrows knitted together, showing that he was curious about what his subordinate wanted to tell him.“We just arrived at the house that Mrs. Elena's parents rented, but they are no longer here. The home owner said they just left a few days ago.”The man's words surprised Leon. "What?" Leon got up from his seat and dropped the newspaper he was holding.“That's right, sir. Didn't they tell you they were leaving?”“No, they didn't say anything. Quickly find out why they suddenly left there. I'm sure they must be hiding something.”"Yes sir."Call ended.Leon immediately checked Elena's parents' number and tried to contact them. The number could be contacted, but Elena's parents did not receive the call.***Dean was sitti
“Who is her father? Have I ever met him?” Dean's brows furrowed even more when he heard his uncle's words."He was at the same event with you; you just didn't realize it," Finley replied.Dean took a deep breath. He was about to leave there, but Finley held him back.“Wait, Dean! Don't go!"“What, Uncle? I don't want to know anyone now. I just want to focus on my company," said Dean in an annoyed tone.“But this is a great opportunity. If you can marry her, our family's power will increase.” Finley kept trying to convince Dean, hoping his nephew would change his mind.Dean shook his head. “No, Uncle. I'm not interested in that.” He immediately left there without paying attention to Finley.“This is absolutely ridiculous! He tried to match me with many girls, but he himself chose not to marry. Sometimes I wonder about my own family," Dean continued to mutter as he got into his car."Dean, wait!" Finley shouted as he ran towards Dean.Dean rolled his eyes as he took a deep breath when h
"So you will stay here?" Rexa looked at Dean with a cold gaze.Dean nodded. “Yes, Father. I will still be here. I also prefer to be in New Zealand instead of another country."Rexa's gaze turned to Juliet. "Even if Dean doesn't go along with us, we will still move there," he said in a tone that didn't want to be rejected."Okay, I'll go with you." Juliet agreed to her husband's decision.Rexa took his cell phone and asked his assistant to arrange his move to the United States. Because Dean didn't move there, Rexa handed over all responsibility to his son. What's more, Dean was the heir of the Romano family. Rexa and Juliet will move to the United States next week.***Today Leon was allowed to go home. But up to this moment, Elena still hasn't woken up from her coma. Leon came to Elena's room to see his wife. The woman was lying with her face looking beautiful."It's been almost 2 weeks since Mrs. Elena has been in a coma, young master," said Michael, who was standing next to Leon.Le
“Why do you want to move there?” Finley responded.“I want to spend the rest of my life there. I don't feel happy being here. I know that we have taken revenge on the Jensen family, but that doesn't make my life happy.” There was sadness in Rexa's eyes, and Finley could feel it.Finley gripped his brother's shoulders and stared at him fixedly. "Rexa, what happened? What makes you feel unhappy?”“There are many things, including my marriage. I don't feel happy with Juliet. I don't want to hurt her any more; that's why I will move to America without her," said Finley.“But if you move there without inviting her, she will definitely be very sad. You don't want to make her even sadder, do you?"Rexa shook her head."Therefore, if you want to move there, then you have to invite her. Does Dean know about all this?"“Dean doesn't know about this yet. This is a very sudden decision of mine, but I feel it's the right decision.”Finley released his grip on Rexa's shoulder. He took a deep breath
“Dr. Edwin, look, he's awake," said a nurse in a low voice when she saw Leon open his eyes.Dr. Edwin immediately turned around to see Leon. He smiled in relief, seeing the man finally come to his senses.“Mr. Leon, thank goodness you're awake," said Dr. Edwin.Leon glanced around, and he tried to sit. Dr. Edwin swiftly helped him sit down.“Where is Michael? Where is the butler?” Leon asked with a panicked expression."Would you like to meet them, sir?"Leon nodded. "Yes, I want to meet them."Dr. Edwin turned to a nurse who was there. “Please tell Michael to come here!” he ordered."Yes, Doctor."The arrival of a nurse stopped Michael and Felix, who were chatting. Their gazes immediately fell on the nurse.“Mr. Leon is awake. He asked you to come to see him," said the nurse.Michael nodded. He immediately entered the room and left Felix alone in the waiting chair."Young master, I'm so happy to see that you are awake," said Michael with a smile.With his condition still weak, Leon w
All the employees were shocked to see Finley's arrogant attitude. The restaurant was a restaurant that had been open for less than a year, so it was still a new restaurant, so they didn't know that the Romano family was so sensitive towards the Jensen family."Sir, please forgive me," said the restaurant manager while trying to free Finley's grip.Finley glared at the man, and his grip even tightened. Dean grabbed Finley's hand and tried to persuade him.“Uncle, please stop this! I'm sure he doesn't know about this," implored Dean."Come on, Uncle, don't make a scene in this restaurant. This is an issue that does not need to be exaggerated.”Finley took a deep breath as he released his grip on the restaurant manager's collar.The restaurant manager immediately moved away from Finley. He looked at his master with a fearful gaze.“I'm sorry, sir. I don't know at all if your family doesn't like hearing that family name," said the restaurant manager as he cupped his hands.Of course, they
