"My Lady, would you like to take a break next, or go straight to the AKS?" asked Joe as he stood and watched her straighten the folds of her skirt on the mannequin table."Go straight to the AKS counter." Cathy felt tired at the thought of picking out perfume in a few moments, and Cathy felt a little dizzy, probably from this morning's medication wearing off, but it was bearable, so Cathy didn't ask Joe to get the new medication.Coming out of the studio, Cathy realized that the sky was dark and cloudy and the air had become overcast and breathless."Looks like we're going to get a big rainstorm, hopefully, we can get everything settled before it does." Cathy exhaled softly and bent down to get into the car.Inside the AKS perfume store, Cathy had just walked into the store with Joe and caught the attention of the clerk, a brunette with neatly coiffed hair greeted her with a smile."May I ask if you are Mrs. Cathy? We've picked out the right perfume in advance as per your request, let
Along the way, Cathy quietly looked out the window, her eyes lifeless. The sky was still gloomy, just like her state of mind at this moment.The speed of the car was very fast, so soon Cathy arrived in front of the villa, she saw the familiar black Mercedes Benz parked in front of the door, she smiled bitterly and realized that this was Kevin's car.When she was about to get out of the car, Cathy hesitated, she was a bit scared."My Lady, you're finally back." Milah noticed the vehicle parked at the door and realized it was Cathy returning, so she rushed out the door to greet her."What is it now?" Cathy got out of the car anyway, there was no use backing down at a time like this."The old lady and the lady are visiting in the back garden now and Mr. Kevin is still in the study." Milah followed behind Cathy and answered quickly."Mother and ......the lady are visiting which side of the garden ?" Cathy paused in her walking, and although she had guessed the answer, she asked anyway."T
A violent storm raged, and the trees along the roadside trembled in shock. In the distance, a purple bolt of lightning ripped through the void. The sound of sobbing wind, roaring thunder, and crashing rain mingled into one. The villa area was far away from the city, and there was only one figure on the wide road looming in the rain. The closer she walked, the more her figure gradually emerged, growing thinner and thinner as the storm washed over her. She walked slowly with her head down, letting the storm wash over her, and she did nothing about it. Cathy didn't know how long she'd been walking, she didn't know where she was going, she was just walking forward, she was drained. Kevin was once her lifeline, tugging at him, she had the motivation and direction to survive, so she put a layer of filters on all the people and things related to Kevin in her heart, and she looked at the world through the filters. But what's fake was still fake, and the filter couldn't cover up the false an
"I'm the lost daughter of the Melville family?" Cathy sat dumbfounded in her hospital bed as the man in the dark suit opened his mouth to explain everything when the beauty hugged her crying. It turned out that that beauty was Olivia Melville, that Mrs. Lanyon, whom she had once heard old Mrs. Lewis so proudly introduce. The steady man in the dark suit was the current CEO of the Melville family, called Carter Melville, the second son of the Melville family. The man in the white lab coat was the third son of the Melville family, a doctor named Kyle Melville. Cathy was in a private hospital on the Melville family estate now, and Kyle was her attending physician. The last man in the black shirt was the youngest son, Eric Melville, who was only a year older than Cathy and he was a researcher, his clothes disheveled because he had just rushed in from the lab. The only elder of the Melville family left today was their grandfather, all the other elders have passed away and the grandfather
"Cathy, do you like this?" Olivia asked Cathy, holding up a brochure and pointing to a diamond necklace on one of the pages. Since being discharged from the hospital, Cathy had been picked up by her brothers and taken back to their villa on the west side of the city. The area of the villa was many times bigger than the Lewis family's villa, Carter said that most of the the old money‘s villas were on the west side of the city, the villa area where the Lewis family lived was newly built, and some new money would choose to live in that area, the distance between them was not far, so the people they met would be much more complicated compared to the west side of the city. The villa areas on the west side of the city were farther away from each other because they all paid attention to privacy, so Cathy didn't have to worry about meeting neighbors who would gossip, she could freely roam around the garden and didn't have to be afraid of disturbing anyone. The interior of the villa was
"Cathy, do you like this turquoise bracelet?" Olivia sidled up and whispered to Cathy, who was sitting next to her, her eyes on the bracelet being presented on the stage. "I think we've bought enough for tonight." Cathy thought about how Olivia and Eric had bought most of the auction items since arriving at the auction with almost uninterrupted shouting. "It's okay, as long as you like it." Olivia looked at Cathy firmly, telling her to relax. "I don't need any more." Cathy refused with difficulty, they had bought them all and given them to her, she had never received so many expensive gifts in her life, and hearing the prices under the auction made her a little vertigo. "Okay." Olivia could only give up the bracelet regrettably. "4.8 million for the third time! Sold! Congratulations to Miss Perez for taking this turquoise bracelet of excellent color." Finally, the turquoise bracelet was sold for 4.8 million dollars. Cathy quietly sucked in a breath of cool air, she felt that it m
Cathy stood cozily on the small deck, exhaling deeply as she looked out over the lights of the surrounding buildings. Olivia finished the talk with Mrs.Hill and then brought her and Eric to meet several ladies, who introduced by Olivia were very close to the Lanyon clan and Melville clan. Of course, they also met some ladies with average relationships, Mrs.Sharp also came to exchange pleasantries with Olivia but Eric quietly told her that they seldom dealt with the Sharp clan because there was some friction between the grandparents but lately, there was the strife in Sharp clan, so Mrs. Sharp's husband wanted to seek some outside help, and Olivia, as the wife of the head of the Lanyon clan and the sister of the head of the Melville clan, was naturally an object that needed to be drawn in. Cathy listened with great interest, and with Eric's introduction, the whole party was not boring. However, even though Cathy found it very interesting, it was after all her first time participating
Cathy straightened her dress in the doorway before lifting her foot and walking in, she was a bit preoccupied with the man she had just seen, actually scaring the strutting Lacey Preze like that, last name Langley was it? She found Eric on the couch to the right of the ballroom, Eric was leaning back on the couch bored with a cupcake, Olivia was not there, not sure if she was off chatting with another lady. "Cathy, you're finally back, I was dying of boredom without you and Olivia." Eric saw Cathy in his afterglow and hurriedly sat up straight happily. "Something just happened and there was a delay, sorry for the wait." Cathy apologized and sat down next to Eric, reaching for the cake Eric handed her. "What happened? Did someone give you a hard time?" Eric listened with some urgency. "No, I just met a man, his last name is Langley, and he is very handsome, he said he is Carter's friend, Eric, do you know him?" Cathy didn't want Eric to worry so she didn't say what happened. "Tha
