He had received this package when he had paid Irene's debt.The day he had paid Irene's debts, he had gotten Mr. Swen to send him Irene's grandmother's bracelet. He told them to send it to the place where he was studying foreign languages.When he received her grandmother's bracelet, he was planning to find a good time to return the bracelet to Irene. He never thought that he would return home to see Irene and Sam talking together.Knock! Knock! There was a knock on the door. "Mr. Lucas, I've cut some fruits for you! Have some!" Irene stood outside the door of his room with a plate in her hand. It was the fruits that she had just cut.Lucas placed the bracelet back into his bag. He walked to the door but did not open it. "I'm not eating." He knew that those fruits were meant for Sam. Irene had expected this answer from Lucas, but she still felt a little sad. She wanted to repair her relationship with Lucas, but Lucas was like a prickly porcupine. Although she knew that he
When Avery saw her daughter and the young, tall, and handsome man next to her, she instantly understood what was going to happen.Elliot also realized what was happening.Their daughter still had not let go of Eric! She had specifically brought a man to show Eric what he had lost. Elliot hoped that he was overthinking things, if not this matter was going to be much more troublesome."Oh, what a coincidence!" Layla said shamelessly. She got the prince of Creolia to sit next to Eric while she sat next to her mother. "I was just looking for a place to eat when I noticed your car outside the hotel, so I came in."Layla made it seem like she had bumped into them. Eric looked at the blonde guy next to him. When Eric noticed that the blond man was the prince whose picture Layla had posted on her social media account, he immediately greeted him politely, "Hello."The prince also offered a polite greeting in return, "Hello. You must be Eric Santos. I know you.""Andrew, my parents sti
"Layla, don't forget what I told you. Be back home by six," said Elliot. "Did you take the bodyguards with you?"Layla said, "Dad, can I be back home by seven? I have to buy Andrew dinner, after all. How can I be back in time?"Elliot hesitated.Eric said, "Six is indeed a little early. Seven isn't considered too late as well."Layla and Elliot looked at Eric at the same time. Eric was helping Layla.Layla furrowed her brows. "You sure are happy to see me going on dates with other men?"Eric said calmly, "If you can find a great partner, I'll be happy for you."When Andrew heard what Eric said, he replied without hesitation, "Thank you! Uncle Eric, I'll do well."Eric looked at Andrew. "You're only one among fifty-two candidates. If you want Layla to like you, sincerity is the most important thing."Andrew replied, "I understand. I really like Aryadelle. When I was young, my father came to Aryadelle to work. He had taken me along. Later, I returned to Aryadelle on my own. I re
"What does this have to do with Eric?" Avery took some food for Elliot. "Didn't you see how Eric reacted just now? Eric doesn't have those sorts of feelings for our daughter. It's her problem.""What problem does our daughter have?" Elliot was protective of his daughter. "She is a blank canvas, and we have to properly guide her.""Oh, then you do it! I can't do it." Avery had already patiently talked things over with Layla. If Layla was a little younger, she would still be guided. However, Layla was already 25 years old. She would not follow anybody's orders or guidance. Everyone has the right to choose their own life."I'll talk to her properly tonight," Elliot said confidently."Sure! Once you're done talking, she'll come to confide in me," Avery teased.Elliot said, "You don't trust me?"Avery replied, "I just understand our daughter too well."Eric listened to them going back and forth. He did not dare interrupt. He only buried his head and ate in silence."Eric. I'm goin
Eric said, "Thank you for your concern. Other than having low blood sugar, I can't do extreme sports. Apart from that, I don't have any other major problems."…In Taronia, there were 40 days left until the exam. Every time Irene saw the countdown on the blackboard, her heart would speed up.That day, their teacher gave them something more relaxing to do. They had to write an essay about their plans after the exam. It could be plans for their future studies or work, or it could be holiday plans for the summer.Irene gripped her pen and stare at the blackboard blankly. Slowly, she began to write. 'After the exams, no matter how my results are, I want to go to Ylore. I have had a look at the flight tickets. Students have 30% off. The flight ticket after the discount is less than forty-five dollars. If I start saving now, once I'm done, not only will I have enough to go to Ylore, but I'll also have enough to go to Aryadelle. 'Everything that I can remember about Ylore is fuzzy. Th
Lucas got out of the car and saw Irene standing in the courtyard. He glanced at her."Mr. Lucas, I've already made dinner." Irene immediately went over to Lucas and asked, "How were classes today? We got back the results for our mocks today. Mine aren't bad."Lucas said, "Can you get into Turlington University?""It's a little risky," Irene said honestly. "I'm not a hundred percent confident. So, I plan to work for another month, and then I'll be resigning to focus on the exams."Irene told Lucas her plans, hoping that he would understand her decision."Mr. Lucas, once I resign, you can get Mrs. Flores to cook for you. She can cook well," Irene said.Lucas entered the living room and changed his shoes.Irene stood next to him, changing her shoes, too."I'll be going abroad in two weeks. I've already gotten my visa." Lucas told Irene his decision. "You can quit in two weeks and prepare for your exam. I can get my father to pay you a full month's wages."Irene was a little stunn
Lucas was a little stunned. Then, he turned off her screen. He showed her the print on her phone. "You never ever clean your phone screen, right?"Irene looked at the clear fingerprint on her screen. She blushed. "You're so smart. I never thought of this.""I'll install an app for you. You can then search for news overseas." Lucas unlocked her phone once more.Irene found it amazing. She immediately walked over to him to see him work.Lucas' fingers were long and slender. They looked nice.Irene looked at her phone, but she soon grew distracted by his hands. "Mr. Lucas, does that mean I don't need to go to Ylore anymore?""You can go if you want to go.""Oh… then I'll see if I want to go during the summer," Irene muttered. "If I don't go to Ylore, I'll head to Aryadelle."Lucas did not respond to that.After installing the app, he returned her phone to her."You can use this browser."Irene accepted the phone and thanked him, "Mr. Lucas, thank you! You're amazing. I didn't
There was plenty of information on Elliot.Irene tapped into the first entry; it was a page about him. In a column, there was a list of people who were related to him. Avery Tate's name and photo were placed there. Underneath, it was written, [Wife].Next to Avery's photo was their son's photo, Hayden Tate. The owner of Dream Maker.Irene casually glanced through the introduction, and she saw the rising of a business empire.Irene exited the page. When she saw Elliot's photo, tears fell. She confirmed that Elliot was her biological father. She knew this because she looked quite a bit like him.However, at the thought of the Gould family being wiped off. She could not help but feel anything but sadness and hatred!Lucas came back from his walk and saw Irene sitting by the dining table. Someone seemed to have cast a spell on her. She was not moving, but her eyes were red. She had cried.She looked extremely sad. It was as if she had gone through something devastating. "What happ
