Would Lana forgive him and spend the rest of her life with him?Liam's heart was filled with a sense of anticipation.Since the reason for the incident had been clarified, everyone let out a sigh of relief at the same time and also went back to rest. Even Leonardo was taken away just to give the two people who had been apart for a long time some space to be alone.After everyone had left, Liam straightened out his clothes and approached Lana, then proceeded to slowly crouch down."Lana!"In the man's deep and sexy voice, there was an unusual tremor and a hint of choked emotion.Liam had no idea what kept him going during these years after losing Lana.Liam didn't dare to do anything too bold. Instead, he gently leaned his handsome face against Lana's hand, repeatedly calling her name.Three years had already passed since Lana left in a fit of anger, setting off a series of events afterward.If she still had any resentment, it would have vanished when she saw Liam's tall figu
"Carol is back. Let's get divorced!"The man across the couch exuded a refined temperament. Liam Kane had a handsome face and deep, intense eyes that seemed to catch everything.Lana Clark nodded expressionlessly. Liam slid the divorce agreement toward her. She wore exaggerated smokey eye makeup and a wild explosion of hair that resembled alternative fashion. He remained nonchalant. "Take a look. Sign if you have no objections."His sensual voice held no warmth. It was no different from the monotonous three years of their marriage."Alright." Lana didn't bother reading through it. She picked up the pen and signed the document.Her marriage to Liam was nothing more than a contractual agreement.Now that his lover was back, it was time for her to step aside and make way for the true Mrs. Kane.Lana had spent three years with the Kane family. And now that Carol had returned, Lana would finally have time to continue with her medical studies.The lawyer put away the signed agree
Disgust flashed in the Clarks' eyes at the sight of how ridiculous Lana looked.Indeed, they had hoped that Liam and Lana would get a divorce. Yet her audacity to return to Clark Residence afterward was just foolish."Do you expect us to welcome you with open arms now that you're divorced?""You're trash who's no longer part of the family. Why are you here?"Not a single one of the Clarks offered Lana any comfort. Instead, they collectively mocked her.However, this was nothing new to Lana. She was accustomed to it since this was just how things were. She was the unloved adopted daughter of the Clark family!In the past, Zeke and Sarah had trouble having children despite having been married for years. Hence, they had gone to the Child Welfare Institute and adopted Lana.To their surprise, Sarah discovered her pregnancy after they had brought Lana home. They had wanted to return Lana to the welfare institute, but adoption papers had already been signed.The institution refused t
Lana suddenly burst into laughter.Carol was the one who had tried to take advantage of Lana and paint her in a negative light."Oh? You sent me to the countryside when I was 5 years old. You made me drop out of school when I was 15 years old. Then, you married me off when I was 18 years old. Is that how you treat your family?"The Clarks' faces changed color in response to Lana's words. They had nothing to say to counter that. After all, it was all true.Carol had wanted to take the moral high ground and make Lana take the fall. She hadn't expected Lana to tell everyone the truth as it was.Was this the same quiet, introverted Lana as before?"Seriously? Aren't the Clarks super well-off? They made a 15-year-old drop out of school?""Their biological daughter was sent abroad to further her studies, while the adopted one probably doesn't even know how to spell. And Carol claims they treat her as family.""Carol should get off her high horse. If I was treated like that, I wouldn'
Nadia finally understood that the Clark family considered her a huge pain.It was no wonder that Zeke and Sarah had stopped her treatment after she had been in a car accident. Her leg could have been healed, but she had been left crippled because of their decision.It turned out that she was just a burden to them.Since Nadia was a disabled person, even if she wanted to leave the Clark family, she might not be able to survive in the outside world. She couldn't help but lament her predicament.As she was feeling hopeless and miserable, someone's soft hand held her hands. She turned to look at the person.Even with thick makeup on, Lana's bright, beautiful eyes still shone through. Anyone who looked into her eyes would feel as if all their worries had disappeared."Aunt Nadia, leave with me," said Lana.Lana had to repay the kindness Nadia had shown her.She would never forget the most difficult few years she had lived through with the Clark family. Nadia was the one who had prot
"Crap! Brace yourselves! The crazy woman is coming out!" shouted someone in the crowd.The doorway to the bathroom became chaotic again.Everyone was prepared to beat the crazy woman up. However, the person who walked out surprised them.A tall, beautiful young woman with a great figure came out of the bathroom.She had just taken a shower and was wearing a multicolored tank top and shorts. She had no makeup on, but she looked gorgeous.Her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion as she looked at everyone. The mole under her eye made her look more alluring."What are you doing?" Her dreamy voice snapped everyone out of their stunned state. "Is there anyone else in there?""Is there a strange woman in there?"The young woman shook her head. "No. I was the only one in there."Everyone else immediately became speechless.A crazy woman had clearly gone into the bathroom. How had she vanished into thin air?"She can't be a ghost, right?"The crowd felt a chill run down their
"Why should I trust you?" He was experienced for his age, so he wasn't easily fooled. Apart from business risks, developing a menu and experimenting with new dishes required a significant amount of money. He can't afford to take such a risk anymore.Lana remained calm upon hearing this. Her bright eyes looked around the shop."Because your shop can't sustain itself anymore. Am I wrong?"The boss' expression stiffened.Indeed, the landlord had come knocking just yesterday because he hadn't paid rent for three months.If the business didn't pick up this month, he would have no choice but to close the shop and return to the countryside."You still have a chance as long as you try, as opposed to waiting around to go bankrupt. Isn't trying better than doing nothing? Can the situation get worse than it is now?"Lana's words tempted him. In the end, he gritted his teeth in painful realization and extended his hand to her."I'm Peter Walton. Welcome."Lana shook his hand in respon
"Isn't this Tyler Sims' house? Why did you bring our boss here?"Kelvin and Luke were taken aback to find themselves in front of the stunning villa.Seeing their confused faces, Billy smiled smugly"You guys probably don't know, but strange things have happened at Tyler’s house. They've consulted many priests to ward off the evil spirits, but nothing has worked. "Now, they're seeking help from the community. If someone can get rid of the ghosts in their house, they'll receive 2000 dollars as a reward.""Wow, as expected from the richest person in our class.""I've wanted to do this for a while, but I was afraid to bring it up since you might get scared."Luke and Kelvin raised their hands and cheered. "Why didn't you say so? Let's go get some money!"Lana frowned upon hearing this. Who would have thought that her hands would be used to exorcise ghosts one day?Still, she couldn't say no to it when she saw how eager the traffic light trio looked. There were plenty of stories
