"Lana, this isn't the place for you," Carol advised, feigning kindness. She added, "I think you should head back. If you like Westwood Perfume, I'll buy a bottle for you."Jennifer had mentioned that Lana lived in a luxury penthouse. The place had even gone viral online. Still, the Clarks did not believe she could afford it. Even if she had opened several restaurants, she couldn't possibly cover the expenses of such a place. They were convinced she must be sponsored by someone.The disdain in Carol's eyes was unmistakable. Lana sensed there was yet another misunderstanding. However, she saw no point in explaining.People held onto their biases, and Carol judged others based on her perspective. Lana had no intention of getting into an argument.Without acknowledging them, Lana washed her hands and adjusted her clothes.Today, she was clad in a striking pink leather mini-dress. The outfit would make most people look washed out or overly flashy. And yet, when Lana wore it, she

"Why do you constantly undermine others' achievements? Is it so difficult to acknowledge them?" Lana retorted.In response to Cherry's probing, Lana shed the polite façade she had initially maintained. Were it not for Cherry's aggressiveness, the situation wouldn't have escalated to this. Lana placed several documents prominently on the store's counter. Her beautiful, clear eyes surveyed the entire scene. Her confident demeanor made it difficult for anyone to meet her gaze."These are the patents for Westwood Perfume and the business license for the boutique. If I'm not 'Simon Westwood,' how do you explain these?"If you like my work, you're welcome to visit anytime. As for those who can't stand me and seek trouble, I'm more than prepared to stand my ground. I simply enjoy observing those who can neither accept me nor dismiss me," Lana finished.The surroundings fell into silence, so profound that one could hear a pin drop. Those who had threatened to destroy the store turned mee

"Liam, have you lost your mind?" Lana exclaimed.Unaware, she was suddenly pulled into Liam's embrace. Lana's face turned crimson as she found herself seated on his lap.Liam's magnetic voice echoed in her ears. "It's not me who's lost my mind. It's you who's driving me crazy!"Why did her image always haunt him, whether he was awake or asleep?The sensation felt unbearably strange to Liam, making him suspect that Lana had cast a spell on him.Lana seethed with fury. Liam's behavior was beyond disrespectful.She had helped him heal his eyes, and he didn't even bother to say thank you. Yet, he accused her of driving him crazy?With a surge of strength, Lana forcefully pushed herself out of Liam's embrace and gave him a swift kick. Then, she grabbed her medical kit and escaped from Liam's room.Liam held his aching leg, his brows furrowing. Yet deep down, he felt an inexplicable pang. It was as if he had lost something important."What's going on, Lee? How are you?" Violet asked

"Of course, I can!" the police officer replied.After Olivia disclosed that information, the onlookers, including the police, promptly searched for Lana's background online.As the youngest perfumer in Zanteles' history, Lana's perfumes were in high demand. Just one limited-edition bottle sold for over five figures. Her custom-made fragrances for celebrities and socialites resulted in her monthly income exceeding a million dollars.Why would a promising young talent become a mistress for financial support?Lana had remained unfazed throughout despite Jennifer and the others' outbursts. It highlighted how baseless their accusations truly were.Jennifer exclaimed in fear, "Lana, how dare you! My parents won't just let you get away with this!"Lana couldn't help but laugh at Jennifer's foolishness. "Officer, she's still threatening me!""You two are being charged with provocation. Please come with us."The police officers acted promptly. They firmly gripped Jennifer and the fish

Liam needed to get this checked up immediately before it worsened. He swiftly contacted international experts in the field. He planned to find time to receive treatment as soon as possible.The Kane family had finally settled down. Liam was eager to elevate its prestige. He wouldn't let anything get in the way of his plans. Nadia woke up early in the morning as she had planned to make some sandwiches.Milo had a basketball game this morning. So, she wanted to bring him some homemade sandwiches. Milo had always liked the sandwiches she made. He even mentioned that he needed a full stomach to have the energy to play basketball.Fortunately, after Lana's previous attempt to test their relationship, Milo still stood by her. He also still treated her the same way as before. Naturally, it deepened Nadia's affection for him. Milo stayed with her because he liked her for who she was, not because he had other ulterior motives. When Nadia arrived at the basketball court, in addition
