Upon hearing Blauch’s question, Maverick's expression turned blank, and he sneered coldly. “Like her? She’s not worthy of it.” He rebutted aloofly. An enigmatic glint flickered past Blauch Vandanberg's eyes as if he had been enlightened. He struck the floor with his stick, a cheerful smile plastered on his face. “Don’t regret it when you lose it.” He solemnly expressed and patted Maverick’s shoulder. His expression suddenly changed to a light-hearted one again. “Play chess with this old man. That father of yours is a good-for-nothing when it comes to playing chess...” “Hehehe. Hearing my father badmouth me in front of my son as soon as I step into the mansion isn’t a good thing.” A loud laugh suddenly filled the mansion, interjecting their conversation. Gerz Vandenberg, a handsome man in his forties, stepped into the mansion while holding a briefcase. His black eyes landed on Maverick, and a trace of bewilderment flickered past his eyes as if he never expected Maverick to be in th
Cora can’t help thinking that she made a good choice. She paused her eating and stared at Maverick and Tatiana meaningfully. “When are you planning to get engaged?” Upon hearing Cora’s question, a sense of joy bloomed in Tatiana’s heart. Tatiana tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and lowered her head demurely. She docilely sneaked a glance at Maverick before replying demurely in a considerate voice. “Mom, there's no rush. Maverick and I have just gotten together after years of separation, and we’re just getting to know each other again.” Tatiana’s eyes suddenly lowered, and she snuck another glance at Maverick. “Maverick had been with that person for a while. Maverick and I have to make sure that no one holds a torch, and we like each other.” Tatiana bit her lower lip and conveyed in a gentle and considerate voice as if all she cared about was Maverick’s emotional well-being. Suddenly, Tatiana exhaled and stared into the distance downcastly while smiling ruefully. “I’m afr
Valencia’s eyes were transfixed on the driver’s mirror, her fist clenching the side of her clothes. Her heart thumped against her chest, her body trembled, and a bead of sweat shone on her forehead. Myriads of thoughts ran through Valencia’s mind, making her already pale face paler. What would happen if Maverick somehow got to know about her departure? What if Maverick came to capture them on their way? What will they do? Valencia trembled as the thought coursed through her. She knew things would become very dangerous. She doesn’t even dare to predict the outcome. But she knew that the outcome would look very bad. Will be much worse than she could ever have imagined. The more Valencia thought like this, the more Valencia’s heart raced with fright. Corbyn’s eyes fell on the woman’s exquisite pale face. Even though Valencia’s face has turned as pale as a sheet, her face doesn’t look less appealing. Rather, her beauty seems to glow exquisitely, capturing Corbyn’s attention more
Corbyn's eyes landed on her side profile. Even without looking at her face, he could see the sadness and loneliness exuding from her. His eyes flashed with an indecipherable glint, but one couldn't fail to notice that the whole person had turned gloomy. His lips parted to say a response, but before he could, his expression turned blank, and he proclaimed, “We are here.” Valencia snapped out of her thoughts, and a smile lit up on her face upon seeing her quadruplet jumping and waving at the car excitedly. Seeing them, a smile lit up on her face, and she rolled down the car windows and also waved to them playfully. Valencia's sad mood diffused, and a thought came to her mind. She was home. Home to her kid. Safe and free “Mom.” Four excited screams immediately invaded Valencia’s ear as soon as she alighted the car. Before she could even blink, eight cute, short legs scurried towards Valencia and jumped on her. The crashing of the quadruplet almost made Valencia crash into t
Valencia stretched out her hand and rubbed the quadruplet’s hair fondly. “Mom wants to take a bath. Mom will be back soon, and mom will eat with babies before sleeping, okay?” Valencia coaxed in a gentle voice, making sure that they were willing to let her go. “Mom, kiss,” The quadruplet nodded their heads immediately and separated from Valencia, but not without demanding a departing kiss from Valencia. Valencia’s lips curved up. She cupped Orson’s cheeks and lowered her head to his forehead and cheeks before planting a kiss on them each. “A kiss for my adorable Orson.” She separated from Orson and shifted to Hudson. She cupped his cheeks and lowered her head to his forehead and cheeks before planting a kiss on them each. “A kiss for my adorable Hudson.” Valencia separated from Hudson and shifted to Iverson. She cupped his cheeks and lowered her head to his forehead and cheeks before planting a kiss on them each. “A kiss for my adorable Iverson.” Valencia separated from Ive
Isn’t their father, Maverick, frightening too? When Maverick was young, he was famously known as a rare child genius who appeared once in a billion years. If Valencia could recall right, Maverick is also exceptionally skilled in the way of computers. It can’t be. It can’t be that it’s also a hereditary trait, can it? Upon understanding, Valencia gnashed her teeth together. That damn jerk. Nothing about him is normal. He had also passed this exceptional gene of his onto her adorable children. What will she do now? Aviva slowly nodded her head twice. She squinted her eyes, stared at Valencia, and seriously explained all that happened to her. “Luckily, Tatiana has been discharged and is leaving the hospital today, which helped lower Maverick’s guard. If that hadn’t happened, it'd have been difficult to find a chance to infiltrate the spring garden without alerting Maverick. Knowing Tatiana well enough, she’ll be all over Maverick, especially after pulling some stupid stunts.” A
Upon hearing Aviva's explanation, Maverick's brows flickered as if he were trying to decipher things. His eyes turned glazed and his expression turned blank, yet the cold aura exuding from Maverick made it seem as if the temperature in the mansion had dropped. Everyone felt as if they were thrown into an ice-stellar, making them shiver, their bodies tense with fright. The mansion was so silent that if a pin dropped, it'd be heard. Maverick reached out for his pants pocket and took out his phone. He unlocked his phone, opened the messaging app, and went through it. The more Maverick scrolled through, the colder his expression. As soon as Maverick was done scrolling through his phone, he threw his phone at Aurora to catch, which she swiftly caught. Upon seeing Maverick's chat interface, Aurora's face paled with fright. There was no sign of a text sent to Aurora through Maverick's phone. So who sent the text Aurora received? Aurora gulped, beads of sweat formed on her face, he
Maverick’s eyes turned glazed, and his expression was blank; none of his thoughts were expressed on his face. Suddenly, his eyes turn half-lidded. Maverick left the Vandenberg mansion and came here for her. It was cruel that when he discovered it, he received cruel news. Suddenly, Maverick picked up his phone. He dialed Finley’s number and placed his phone next to his ear. “Where are you?” He inquired in a calm tone. Maverick strode out of the CCTV room and made his way towards his car. Despite that his expression was very calm, the aura exuding from Maverick was far from calm. He entered his car and turned on the ignition before driving out of the mansion. A few minutes later, Maverick's car came to a stop on a quiet road. He parked his car and strode towards a car parked on the other side of the road. Without hesitation, Maverick opened the rear door of the car. Upon seeing the door being opened from outside, Tatiana’s face whipped to the side, but when she saw Maveric
Due to this, Amell had no choice but to enter the private room. His eyes awkwardly darted around the room, and his whole person was a bit nervous. “Hey.” He threw and sat at the far end from Amell.Contrary to Amell’s nervousness, Burke appeared very calm. He was so calm it was as if he wasn’t the one who kissed Amell in a fit of rage. He calmly responded without lifting his head, “Hm.”Upon hearing Burke’s response, Amell’s tense nerves slightly turned calm. His eyes narrowed due to conflicting emotions.Could it be that this bastard was in a good mood, or is it that this bastard just never cared since the beginning…Amell’s eyes that suddenly landed on Burke’s lips snapped him out of his thought. Thin lips crashed with…Amell’s eyes instantly widened in horror, and he quickly rubbed his eyes like crazy while shaking his head.It was as if doing so would prevent the image from displaying in his mind.Unfortunately, several images of lips kissing began to run through his mind, making
You bitch!" A fierce slap resounded in the room, and Tatiana's face whipped to the side immediately, her cheeks filled with five print marks.A surge of hatred immediately overwhelmed Tatiana’s eyes, and her body trembled due to rage."It's enough that a slut daughter dared to cause chaos in my home; how dare you try to ruin the family's reputation? Do you think everyone is as naive as you to believe that a lowly guard, especially the guard of Maverick Vandenberg, would take action without orders? How dare you?" Mrs. Austergaard chided coldly, her elegant face now filled with fury. Mrs. Austeegard pointed at Tatiana and continued to chide, "You are just like your mother; you only know how to run after men without a plan for your future. Ever since you returned to the country, you have never acted like a responsible daughter of the Austegaard. Rather, you shamelessly throw yourself at men all day long. You are very shameless." She seethed. The more Mrs. Austergaard thought of all thi
The waitress immediately crawled to Valencia and began to hit her head against the floor, tears streaming profusely down her face. She bawled pitifully, “Miss Valencia, please forgive me. I just wanted to save my poor mother. My poor mother was sick, and I just needed the money. Please let me go…” Before the waitress could complete her words, the female guard grabbed her by the hair and threw her far away from Valencia. The waitress was clearly pleading with such words in order to get Valencia to soften, forgive her, and not get to the root of the matter. Unfortunately, she messed with the wrong person. “Who sent you?” The guard cruelly pulled the waitress by the hair and questioned her harshly. The waitress's lips parted and her eyes darted about, her body trembling. She cried out, “I. I didn’t see the person’s face. The person covered their eyes. Please, let me go.” She bawled pitifully. The bodyguard sneered, not falling for the waitress’s lies. Before she could speak, CCTV fo
Tatiana’s expression changed to agitation. In fact, all Tatiana was doing was her own play to turn the tide over. She had no intention to kneel.Tatiana’s face turned pale. She really doesn’t want to kneel; once she kneels, her reputation will be stained, and she will be lowly to Valencia. How can she bear that? Her hand subconsciously gripped the side of her dress.Seeing this, how can Aviva not know what was going through Tatiana’s mind? She sneered and coldly said, “What? Are those all for shows? Didn’t you want to gain Valencia’s forgiveness…”“Enough!” Maverick coldly declared, interjecting Aviva’s words.Corbyn’s eyes turned cold, and he took a step forward, his lips pressed in a thin line. “Your Vandenberg family can’t go overboard in our Cirillo family’s presence.” His cold eyes fall on Tatiana, and he ruthlessly emits, “Apologise.”Tatiana’s eyes flashed with a depressing glint, and a sense of unwillingness overwhelmed her. She really doesn’t want to. Her anxious eyes fell on
’Eh? Isn’t this Miss Tatiana? Miss Tatiana is eavesdropping on Valencia and Roman’s discussion? Doesn’t that mean Miss Tatiana isn’t clueless about how this news got revealed?Good heavens! Can this be Miss Tatiana’s handiwork? I know that Miss Tatiana is just as sly, but I didn’t expect that she’d be so vile and shameless to do such a thing.’Upon hearing the voice surrounding her, coupled with the people pointing and chiding her, Tatiana’s expression changed, and she took a step back, her whole person filled with panic and anxiety; it was clear that Tatiana didn’t expect the sudden revelation. She quickly cried out to defend herself, “This. This. I’m being framed. Someone turn it off. I didn’t do it. I didn’t.”Suddenly, Tatiana’s expression changed, and she pointed at the stunned Valencia and yelled at the top of her voice, “It’s you. You’re framing me. I know Miss Valencia will do anything to clean herself, but doing such a thing like this is very vile,” she cried out pitifully an
Tatiana eyed Valencia and her brooding expression, and she immediately came to the conclusion that Corbyn already dumped Valencia and Valencia's attendance was to find a rich man to hang onto again. “What? You are all alone here tonight! Is this a final attempt to find a man? I didn’t expect that Miss Valencia was this type of woman. However, isn’t Roman so outstanding…” Valencia didn’t even raise an eye before scoffing in disdain. She continued to stare into the distance before sneering, “Not only do you speak nonsense, you are also blind.” She pronounced Upon hearing this, Tatiana’s eyes turned cold, and a surge of indignation overwhelmed her being, but… Tatiana had yet to speak a word when one of the crowd of ladies fawning over her and following her scoffed at Valencia. “Someone is really shameless. Aren’t you the one trending in the news? I already expected you to break down. Turns out you are very thick-skinned and tenacious.” She chided harshly Valencia childishly nodded h
The conspicuous black car of the Cirillo family rolled to a stop in front of City Hotel, one of the most expensive hotels in the city.The Davis family’s son finally found his first love and got engaged to her after years of searching. As a result, Mr. Davis was so excited that he even threw a special party to celebrate with the top elite in the country and took out his favorite wine to share.“It’s been years since I attended this.” Aneira exhales and inhales deeply. If it wasn’t for Valencia and Aviva’s countless persuasions, Aneira really wanted to stay home and play with her sweet quadruplet.Home is very beautiful. Several times more beautiful than social gatherings like this, where several people are fake.Since Aneira had attended such parties in the past, it’s right to say that she’ll definitely be under people’s scrutinizing eyes. Just thinking about it made her want to return home.As if realizing what Aneira planned to do, Aviva grabbed her hand and led her out of the car.
Aneira pushed the restroom door open and placed her hand under the automatic faucet. Suddenly the door was pushed open, and before Aneira could process it, the person who just entered already strode toward her. Immediately, Aneira lifted her head to take a glance at the person. Upon seeing who had just stepped into the ward, her eyes widened and then constricted in shock. “Quite cocky.” Farrell’s brows arched leisurely, and he blew warm air into Aneira’s ear, making her jump. Immediately he wrapped his hands around her and rested his chin on her neck while watching her expression through the mirror. His lips curved up in satisfaction upon seeing her conflicting emotions. Aneira's expression slipped, and her lips parted slightly in shock, not expecting Farrell so soon. How can he find her so soon? “I'm from the…” Farrell’s eyes immediately turned deep, and his hands on her waist tightened. He fixated his eyes on her and pronounced in a husky and deep voice, “Complete it and see i
Aviva held Valencia's hand and casually placed her chin on Valencia's shoulder. Even though her face had a faint smile on it, her cold eyes that landed on Darcy were very piercing and fierce. Valencia's and Aviva's stances are so intimate and friendly that all the people present who believed that Valencia might soon be sent out of the Cirillo family immediately began to rethink. Seeing Aviva's and Valencia's stance, they knew that couldn't be possible. Aviva squinted her eyes and leisurely uttered, “This miss seems to know all the latest information and has something to say. Shouldn't we listen to it fully so we can know what's trending? Valencia, Aneira, what do you think?” Even though Aviva's voice was calm and leisurely, Darcy only felt a trail of chills coursing down her spine, making her shiver. Her face turned pale immediately. Having Aviva's cold eyes transfixed on her made Darcy's heart race so much it felt as if her heart would leap out of her chest. Darcy had only
