At the Rhinestone Mansion, Manches City.
Neve sat on the sofa in the living room and watched Yanis standing on the awards-presenting platform on the TV screen. Her eyes were filled with obvious coldness.
A man came out of the bedroom and glanced at the TV screen. "What's up with you? Are you feeling a crisis?"
Hearing the man's voice, Neve held back her thoughts and said, "When are you leaving?"
"You force me to leave?" said the man.
Neve frowned and said, "Nancy will come over later, I have something to talk to her."
Jack sat down beside Neve, and put one hand on the sofa, seeming to hold Neve in his arm. "Never mind. I won't bother you."
Neve turned to look at him and said, "Jack, don't push me too hard, okay?"
Jack looked at Neve's face, pinched her chin, and got closer to Neve. "It's you who push yourself hard, not me."
Neve met Jack's cold eyes, and tried to pull Jack's hand away from her jaw, but failed. Jack pinched her jaw so tightly that Neve felt like her jaw was about to be dislocated.
"Neve, I said before, as long as you behave yourself, I can give you whatever you want," Jack said.
Neve frowned and said, "You..."
Before finishing the words, Neve's cell phone on the table rang.
Jack sustained his position and kissed Neve on the lips, and then let go of his hand. "I'm hungry, bring me a meal, and I'll go out after eating."
Then Jack got up and went into the bathroom.
After Jack entered the bathroom, Neve reached for the mobile phone on the table and answered the call, "Hello, Nancy."
Nancy's voice came through the mobile phone, "The filming of Buzz Manches has been advanced, and it is scheduled for this afternoon. I will pick you up now."
Neve paused for a moment and asked, "Why is it suddenly advanced? Shouldn't it be held tomorrow?"
"It's just one day earlier. Mr. Porter is going on a business trip tomorrow, so I already reported the change to Mr. Hughes. It happens that you don't have any arrangements today, so today is okay," Nancy explained.
Neve couldn't refuse and said, "Okay, please come, and I'll get prepared soon."
Before hanging up the phone, Nancy added, "Are you in D-king Castle or Rhinestone Mansion?"
Neve felt very annoyed when the two domiciles were mentioned.
So sophisticated, she took everything into consideration. However, she neglected Anika's dependence on Zane.
After the assault, Anika was taken to D-king Castle by Zane. Initially, Zane had agreed to let Neve live in, but his promise had been broken because of Anika.
"Rhinestone Mansion," replied Neve.
Nancy had no idea about what had happened to Anika but felt a little surprised. She asked Neve, "You told me that Mr. Lawrence agreed you to live in D-king Castle, right?"
Neve got up and walked towards the bedroom, saying, "Yes, but there were some changes, so I didn't go there."
"I thought you are at odds with Mr. Lawrence again. Even if you are dissatisfied with him during this period, you'd better hold back for a while. Kane Porter looks easygoing, but he will definitely be hostile if he knows that you fall out with Zane, " said Nancy.
Working in nearly the same industry, Nancy knew the characters of these people profoundly.
The reason why Kane gave a chance to Neve was that he knew the relationship between Neve and Zane. Once Zane clarified that he had cut off the relationship with Neve, Kane would withdraw everything that he granted to Neve.
"I see. I'll change clothes. Wait for me for a few minutes when you get downstairs," said Neve.
After hanging up the phone, Neve ordered a meal for Jack, and then chose a suitable set of clothes for her.
When Jack came out of the bathroom, he happened to see Neve changing her clothes. He stepped forward and pressed Neve's arm. "You want to go out?"
Neve struggled for a while, seeing that Jack had no intention of releasing her, so she became obedient. "The filming of a program was suddenly advanced, so I'm going out for a while. You don't have to get out, because I've already booked a meal for you. Be aware of the doorbell."
