Although with Nicole’s status in the industry, Julian also had to show her some respect, Nicole was clearly not here to talk business at this time.Julian smiled bitterly and helplessly, then he glanced at Mia.Mia nodded and politely extended her hand.“Please, sit down. Since you’re both Lumi’s friends, please make yourselves at home.”Nicole and Julie sat down.Lumi sat on the side. Her eyes were extremely red, so it was obvious that she had been crying a lot.She did not want to look at her parents and said to them, “You two need to leave! I don’t want to see you!”“Lumi, don’t make a scene!”Mia spoke in a dull voice. She felt heartbroken when she saw her daughter’s aggrieved look.“Although we’ve known about their relationship for a long time, Samuel didn’t take it seriously. He chose to get into a marriage alliance with our family, which meant that he gave up Kirsi! He knows this clearly. How dare he bully you?! We won’t let him off so easily!”Julian nodded to the sid
At the mention of that name, Lumi took a deep breath and looked away.“Don’t tell anyone about what you heard just now about Kirsi’s life.”Julie said, “You’re still thinking of her at this time? She’s the one who started the whole thing. If it were another woman, would you still be so angry?”She expressed her confusion.Lumi was slightly stunned.She glanced at Julie and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she did not say it.“I know that she doesn’t like the Makinen family. My mom and dad aren’t nice to her either, so I desperately tried to be nice to her to make up for it. But after such a mess, I really don’t know if all those years meant nothing to her.”Nicole said, “What do you think? Even if your parents treat her badly, she shouldn’t direct her hate to you. After all, it has nothing to do with you.”Julie nodded.The corners of Lumi’s mouth twitched. She picked up a cup and took a sip of water.“Forget it. Besides getting a divorce, I can’t think of a
Clayton hesitated for a moment.He said carefully, “Isn’t it already expected?”Nicole and Julie widened their eyes.“You already expected this?”Even a screenwriter would not write such a dramatic scene, right?Clayton turned the corner and slowed down. He spoke in a calm tone. “From the first time Samuel brought Kirsi to a public occasion, Lumi was sure to find out eventually. Why didn’t you guys anticipate it? Lumi didn’t think about it because she was too easily fooled. Wouldn’t a normal person have a sense of boundaries if they’re not too familiar with their sister-in-law?”After Clayton finished speaking, the car fell into silence.The car was filled with a light jasmine fragrance that was selected by Nicole.It was a soothing and light scent.Nicole and Julie glanced at each other.So, they were the ones who made this bigger than it seemed?The Makinen Residence.Someone knocked sharply on the door.Lumi thought that Nicole and Julie had returned.The maid was no
Nicole took her phone and searched the internet.What caught her eye was a striking headline.“Heiress of Makinen Corporation announced her broken marriage seemingly because the man had an extramarital affair. If he wants to keep his reputation, he should leave her without getting a penny!”The most shocking thing was the last sentence, “if he wants to keep his reputation”.Haha!Lumi really went all out!Countless comments amassed below.[Damn! I just checked that Makinen Corporation is a pharmaceutical company. I grew up eating their medicine, and they’ve never increased their prices. Their heiress must be a tough one!][I checked them out, too! They don’t have any dirt on them. I support Ms. Makinen!][You’re only married for less than a year, so how dare you cheat on your wife?! @SamuelLindstrom][Mr. Lindstrom, you’d better explain this. Ms. Makinen is a proper young lady and wouldn’t tolerate such vulgarity!][The last heiress that’s just as feisty is my Goddess Nicole
With Kirsi involved in Samuel and Lumi’s relationship, how could Lumi be able to tolerate it?How could Lumi still pretend as if nothing was wrong?Thus, Lumi made the most impulsive decision. It was also the right decision.Clayton saw that Nicole was chattering about other people’s affairs and listened with great interest.Nicole talked until Chatty began to make a fuss because she could not understand what her mother was saying.With her attention diverted, Nicole went over to carry Chatty.Suddenly, she received a message.It was from Lumi. [I posted something online. Please help me to forward it and support me!]Nicole was stunned. She carefully looked at it again and realized that she did not misread it.Sure enough, it was Lumi.Nicole thought that Lumi would be immersed in grief and sadness.She did not think that Lumi would come back to life so soon.When Lumi did not receive Nicole’s reply, she simply called her.Nicole picked up the call and walked to the balcon
Makinen Residence.“You still have the face to come here after what you’ve done to your sister?! Our family never treated you poorly. We raised you, but where is your conscience?!”From the moment Kirsi came in, Mia had been cursing at her.Mia usually ignored Kirsi’s existence.But now that Kirsi had infringed on her daughter’s interests, Mia could no longer hold back.All those years of forbearance in the past came crumbling down. She no longer had to tolerate Kirsi.Kirsi’s face was calm as she walked inside. It was as if she did not hear Mia as she walked upstairs.Mia, who was ignored, went over to stop Kirsi and pushed her. “I’m talking to you. Are you deaf?! Get out of my house! You’re not welcomed here!”Julian frowned as he sat on the sofa on the side, holding a cigarette in his hand, looking miserable.He did not want to meddle in their affairs.Kirsi stumbled from the push. She held onto the railing and raised her eyes to look at Mia.“I just want to see my sister
Julian’s face was filled with disgust when he mentioned Kirsi’s mother.“That’s why I showed my hand and didn’t conceal your existence. Thank God, your mother died early. If others hadn’t already known about you, do you think I’d still bring you back? I never even bothered to check whether you were my daughter because I simply didn’t care. To me, Lumi is my only daughter. We raised you the same way we’d raised an orphan to be Lumi’s companion. You shouldn’t exist in the first place. If you hadn’t shown up, all of this wouldn’t have happened at all!”Julian’s face was extremely glum. He had no qualms about pouring out all those things he kept hidden in his heart for so many years.He knew that this would harm an innocent child, but the damage this did to their family was heavy enough.What did he do wrong?His love for Mia was forever tainted and could never be washed away.Kirsi stood there in a daze, holding the handrail so tightly until her fingertips turned white. Her palms we
The door was not locked.Lumi sat on a rocking chair on the balcony, holding her favorite teddy bear that was half her height, with her laptop and phone on the table next to her.The computer screen was displaying a soaring chart of the stock market.Kirsi paused. She knew about Lumi's habit.When Lumi was in a bad mood, she liked to look at the stock market because at least, she still had money flowing in.It was also a coincidence that every time Lumi was in a bad mood, the stock market would soar.But now, the person who put her in a bad mood was her dearest sister.Kirsi suppressed her heavy heart and walked over step by step.Lumi tilted her head slightly and saw her.“You don’t need to shoot today?”Her tone was calm, as if nothing big happened.Kirsi paused and answered.“I took a leave of absence. I wanted to come over yesterday, but I couldn’t leave because that scene wasn’t completed…”This was also unexpected.Kirsi, who always shot her scenes in one go, was sl
