Emily was dumbfounded,"Beryl, where did you learn these words?"
Beryl thought for a while and came up with the name of a big dating show.
Stunned, Emily felt speechless. "Stop watching these programs then!"
"Uh," Beryl replied. Suddenly, she widened her eyes, as if she had just thought of something, and said,"Mommy, you're changing the topic... no, topic changing!"
"Beryl..."
"You kissed my boyfriend, I won't talk to you!" Beryl complained.
Nonplussed, Emily didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but her bad mood was eventually washed away. "Don't you want to have the strawberry cake I bought for you?" asked Emily.
"I'm not a child of two or three years anymore." Beryl pouted discontentedly and said,"I won't be satisfied with just one or two cakes, but three would be..."
Amazed by Beryl's bargaining skills. Decisively, Emily pretended not to understand Beryl and said,"Well, just come to me when you want to talk to me."
"Oh..." Beryl wasn't expecting such a rapid change in her mother's attitude. Suddenly, she cried out,"Hmph! I won't talk to you!"
Although, Beryl spent the next few days giving her mother the silent treatment, she eventually caved after Emily coaxed her with a strawberry cake.
Since, Jacob had not returned, Emily grew more anxious. She worried about his unhealed wounds and the unrest in A country. She wondered where and how he was now.
Although Emily felt uneasy, she still forced herself to calm down so she could work. What she did not know was that Jacob had left all his trusted men to protect her secretly.
"Starry Night International Model Competition is going to be held in Z district, Manager. I think it's a great opportunity for the company." In the office, Emily's assistant dutifully reported.
"Sure," Emily responded. Emily looked down, with an unidentified expression, and tapped her slender fingertips gently on the desk.
"Starry Night", an internationally famous model competition, which was held once every three years. Many international supermodels were discovered on this stage. It was common for brands to choose models, but "Starry Night", on the other hand, was the one picking the brands. All clothing and jewelry represented were of high standards.
If Lu Jewelry could become the brand sponsor of "Starry Night", it would raise its brand publicity.
The assistant continued,"There are rumors that Lin Jewelry is also participating in the brand competition this time. I'm afraid that they may have an advantage over us, because not only are they engaged in jewelry, their clothing brand is also quite popular in the markets."
Suddenly, Emily asked,"What about LA?"
"LA..." The assistant flipped through the pages of information she had collected. "LA didn't take part in the competition this time and I don't know why..." she said.
It seemed like from the time Emily took over Lu Jewelry, LA jewelry went under the radar, as if they were avoiding someone or something.
Emily's gaze deepened, and she said,"I will take full advantage of this opportunity."
...
At the Lin Villa.
The naked man and woman were fiercely entangling on the big luxury bed. They moved in an intoxicated dance of limbs, never making the exact same moves twice. It was unknown whether the squeak of the mattress was out of pain or joy. The cool room already felt warm.
It was hard to hold back, to make the moment last, but in the end, they finally finished after a long time.
Magee reclined on the bed and lit a cigarette slowly. His handsome face was blurred by the white smoke he blew from his delicate lips.
Leona was obsessed with this man. She looked at him and put her milky, white arms around his,"Magee..."
The man was so flawless that she lost her heart and soul four years ago when she laid eyes on him.
"Huh?" Magee turned his head unmindfully and handed the cigarette over.
