When John woke up and saw Lana, his heart immediately sank.He was too foolish. To be fair, there had been clues that Lana was his former aunt-in-law. He had just let love cloud his judgment and never realized it.The first time he could've realized it was when Liam showed up when he delivered the package to Lana. Next was at his birthday party when Liam, who usually kept a low profile, kissed Lana in public. He should've known!His uncle would never try to steal his woman, so John thought the kiss was purely for the game. In the end, he was the one who was stealing Liam's woman. How ironic!"John, are you feeling any better?" Lana crouched in front of him with her hand on his wrist. She seemed to be checking his pulse.John didn't know how to face Lana. He turned away and said coldly, "Thank you for inviting me here to tell me this shocking news."Lana fell silent.She didn't specifically bring John here to shock him. All she wanted was to discuss a collaboration with him.

Whether it was because they had a pleasant conversation or to appease Mandy, Xander chose to sit with Mandy and Lana during the charity gala.Tonight's charity gala was one of the most iconic events in Dawsbury City every year. It gathered numerous celebrities, wealthy individuals, and socialites.The charity auction held during the evening was the highlight of the event. Each guest would contribute a cherished item to be auctioned off, raising funds for those in need.Mandy hadn't been back to her home country for a long time, and this evening marked her first public appearance since her return. Many friends from the industry came to greet her. She was also busy catching up with various acquaintances.Xander had a more laid-back attitude. In reality, he was a bit shy, waiting for others to approach him and start a conversation. In the meantime, he remained relaxed. Lana, who was sitting next to him, was too intimidated to even breathe. She kept discreetly observing her idol up

The other party was an internationally renowned scientist. Carol and Chris wouldn't be so tactless as to snatch something Romelius' beloved daughter liked.Carol and Chris smiled at each other. "Rosa, you're overthinking. We won't take something that someone else loves."Only then did Rosa sigh in relief.Tonight, she absolutely must win. Since arriving, she had already contacted those interested in bidding for these jewelry pieces. She had asked them not to compete with her, and they dared not challenge her.After the host's lengthy introduction, they finally entered the highly anticipated auction event. Initially, the items auctioned were of little interest and were sold at very low prices. Mandy won the bid for a calligraphy and painting set. For her auction, she had donated a luxurious costume she wore in her first drama series. Such used clothing was typically of little value and would remain in the exhibition hall. After all, most people wouldn't touch such items.But

"What's going on with this woman? Why is everyone acting like they're under a spell, rushing to give her things?""I don't think she even knows this man. Otherwise, her expression wouldn't be the same as ours!""Regardless, I envy her. Isn't she winning in life?"Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, the man in the black and white checkered suit brought the bracelets to Lana."Miss Lana, don't be nervous," he said gently. "Mr. Liam had ordered me to do this. He said that tonight, no matter what, he must win this bracelet and give it to you!""Liam?" Lana's heart finally found some peace. After receiving the bracelets, she muttered softly, "How did he know I liked these things?"Mandy smiled and said, "I'm glad I didn't continue to compete with Liam. Otherwise, he would probably despise me now."Mandy knew that Lana liked the bracelets. She felt a bit sad earlier, thinking she couldn't win the bracelets for her. Mandy never thought that Liam would be so generous to secure the

Lana kept refusing, so Liam had no choice but to hold her and sleep, refraining her from doing anything. After all, he was the one who wanted to spoil her.Both of them were exhausted, and they accidentally overslept. The next day, Lana was awakened by the incessant ringing of the doorbell.Liam was still sleeping and seemed not to hear it. Lana, still fighting off sleep, went to open the door."Cherry, are you sure Lana lives here?"As Lana approached the door, she could hear Violet's nervous voice and the somewhat impatient Cherry. "I already told you she's staying here. She's probably not home right now."Cherry didn't like Lana to begin with, and now Violet dragged her to Dawsbury to see Lana. Her mood was far from good."Poor child, how can she live in a place like this?" Violet sounded full of pity. "No, I need to call the butler right away and have him buy a large villa for her. I have to find a better place for Lana to live."The conversation at the door sent shivers dow
