“I just feel a little reluctant to let you get off the car like this,” he murmured, wishing he could keep her by his side and watch her every moment.
It seems like he’s becoming more and more attached to the feeling of having her by his side.
Valda was stunned, is this…sweet talk? This kind of talk doesn’t sound like something Brian would say,
“I…I’m just going to work.”
“I know, after work, I’ll come pick you up,” he said, finally letting go of her hand.
“That…bye.” She said, moving her body towards the outside of the car.
Suddenly, as if she had remembered something, she leaned in and gave Brian a kiss on the cheek before getting out of the car, closing the door, and quickly walking into the building with a red face.
He stared blankly at her back in the car until her figure completely disappeared from his sight. It was only then that he suddenly came to his senses and gently touched the spot where she had just kissed him.
At that moment just now, he had an impulse to hide her away, to a place where only he could see her.
How much does he really like her?
As Brian Hart suggested, could it be that he has already fallen in love with her?
One morning, Valda was busy with work, as she had previously been delayed due to taking care of
Brian in the hospital because of his injury.
In the afternoon, she received a call from the police station asking her to come over to verify her previous statement. The police informed her that the woman who drugged Camille at the bar and took her away has been detained.
After the call from the police station ended, Camille Strickland also called and said that the police asked her to go to the station in the afternoon to identify someone.
So the two of them agreed on a time and went to the police station together in the afternoon.
At the police station, the authorities asked Camille to identify the woman. Once she confirmed without a doubt, they had both of them redo the statement again.
with the hotel landlady to specifically target women who were alone in the bar, finding ways to drug them and then take them.
back to the hotel.
And these women, upon waking up, found themselves violated. In addition, videos and photos were taken of them, so naturally they dared not report to the police. Moreover, many of them were even blackmailed or forced to comply with the perpetrators’ demands in order to prevent the videos and photos from being leaked. As a result, they were trapped in a vicious cycle.
Valda was stunned to hear that there were underground dealings like this in Emerald City.
“Thank you all for your help in enabling us to successfully dismantle this criminal organization,”
expressed the police with gratitude.
“Where… where…” Valda repeated.
Camille felt a wave of fear. If Valda hadn’t found her in time, her fate would have been unimaginable.
As they walked out of the police station, Camille said, “Valda, you’re like my guardian angel! Without you, I might have been done for!”
“If I hadn’t gone to the bathroom, you wouldn’t have encountered this situation,” said Valda.
“It’s none of your business. It was my own carelessness. I didn’t guard myself properly and the bad guys took advantage of it.”
“I have been discharged from the hospital,” said Valda.
“That’s good. I’m safe this time, and I should thank the Crown Prince properly. But how should I thank him?” Camille was having trouble deciding.
“Sending a banner or a thank-you letter? I doubt the prince would even accept them!”
Alternatively, she could invite the Crown Prince to a meal. However, many people have already extended such invitations to him. Even if she were to invite him, there is no guarantee that he would accept.
Alternatively, should we give a gift or money? I reckon if we present it to the prince, it would be a joke!
While Camille was lost in thought, Valda’s voice rang in her ear, “Camille, Brian and I are back together.”
“Getting back together would be nice,” Camille replied casually.
After a few seconds, she suddenly seemed to realize something and stared at her friend with widened eyes, “What did you say? You and the prince are back together?”
“Correct,” said Valda.
“You… why did you decide to be with the Crown Prince again? Is it because he saved you and played the hero this time?” Camille asked curiously.
After a moment of contemplation, Valda said, “I think this incident made me realize something. No one knows what the future holds, but at least for now, I have found someone I love and who loves me back.
It’s not easy to come by. Although I don’t know if we can be together in the end, I don’t want to give up without trying. I can’t bear to.”
“The fact that the Crown Prince was willing to take a stab for you shows that he truly cares for you. I think you two have a good chance,” Camille said with a grin. “Come to think of it, maybe my mishap was a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, you and the Crown Prince might not have reconciled so quickly.
If you two get married in the future don’t forgot together. You’re already thinking about marriage. Isn’t that too far-fetched?”
“Is it? Don’t you want to marry the Crown Prince?” Camille teased.
Marriage… If they get married, they will have children. Then, she remembered what Brian said this morning about eyelashes being a dominant gene. Their children would most likely inherit long eyelashes…
What would their children look like?
“Hey, what are you thinking about?” Camille’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
Valda suddenly realized that she was thinking too far ahead.
“By the way, it’s almost dinner time. Why don’t we go out and have a meal together? There’s a mall nearby…” Camille suggested.
Valda suddenly remembered, “Oh no, Brian said he would pick me up after work today!”
She took out her phone and quickly dialed Brian’s number as she spoke.
After a moment, the other end of the phone was answered and Valda said, “Brian, I’m not at the studio right now, you don’t need to come pick me up.”
All A
“I’m at the police station right now, just came out from there. The police caught the woman Camille brought up last time, so we came here to confirm it.” Valda said, “Later, Camille and I will grab a bite nearby. I’ll come back after I finish eating.”
“Let me come over then, do you mind having one more person?” he said.
She paused for a moment, glanced at her friend beside her, and then quietly relayed Brian’s words.
Camille immediately smiled and said, “Of course I don’t mind. I was just thinking of treating the prince to a good meal to thank him for saving my life!” This was the perfect opportunity.
So Valda and Brian mentioned the name of the mall they planned to go to, “Once Camille and I arrive at the store, I’ll send you the name of the store and the seat number, but we’re just going to eat at a regular restaurant in the mall.” It wasn’t the fancy club that he had taken her to before.
“Okay, I understand,” Brian responded.
Camille and Valda picked a Cantonese restaurant in the mall. Camille specifically chose a relatively upscale one, with the intention of repaying Valda’s kindness. Naturally, she selected at better one within her budget.
“First of all, let me make it clear that I’m treating you today. Thank you very much to you and the Crown
Prince for saving my life.
Otherwise, I would feel guilty.” said Camille.
“Is it a bit expensive?” Valda looked at the menu and said, the dishes on it are not cheap, and it is estimated that it will cost her friend half a month’s salary for a meal.
“It’s alright, it’s alright!” Camille waved her hand. “Just think about it, you saved me and recovered my huge loss. A meal is nothing compared to that!”
After ordering a few dishes, Camille went to the restroom while
Valda sat alone at the table. She sent the table number and restaurant name to Brian and continued to browse through the menu in front of her.
At that moment, a voice suddenly spoke up, “You are… Valda, right?”
Valda looked up and saw a woman wearing a suit and delicate makeup staring at her, while a middle-
aged man in his 40s wearing a suit stood next to her.
“You are…” Valda felt that the woman in front of her looked somewhat familiar.
“I’m Zelda Holmes, we were in the same class back in high school,” the person said.
Valda suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was her high school classmate.
“I remember now, Zelda, hello,” said Valda politely. They had an ordinary relationship as classmates in high school, but Valda recalls that Zelda’s family situation was not good. She was thin
But looking at Zelda’s attire now, it’s clear that she’s been doing well.
“I didn’t expect to run into you here,” Zelda looked at Valda and then introduced the person next to her with a smile, “This is my fiancé, Ginger Bond. Ginger, this is Valda. We went to the same high school together. Valda’s parents passed away back then, and she was living with relatives. Life was tough for her. I remember she used to collect empty plastic bottles after school to make some money.”
Valda frowned involuntarily. Although she did collect plastic bottles to sell for money to buy art supplies during high school, hearing it from Zelda now gave her a strange feeling.
“Ginger, since I ran into Valda today, why don’t we invite her and her table to join us for a meal?” said Zelda.
“Okay, as long as you’re happy.” Ginger said indifferently.
“Valda, feel free to order whatever you want for this table. I’m treating everyone today,” said Zelda with a smile on her face. However, her tone of voice gave off a sense of superiority.”
“No need, my friend is treating me today,” said Valda.
“Valda, don’t be polite with me. I’m treating you, and it will also give you face in front of your friends.
However, I still want to remind you about your attire. It’s better to match your identity. Even if you want to pretend to be rich, wearing a limited edition knockoff will only make people laugh at you more.
Please don’t drace like this next time!!
“Counterfeit goods?” Valda looked confused and didn’t understand at first.
“The clothes you’re wearing are a limited edition from Chanel’s spring collection this year. There are only 100 pieces in the world, and the official price is 2.8 million yuan per piece. I know you used to be poor and that’s why you buy knock-off designer clothes, but at least you should understand that some clothes will only make you a laughing stock when you wear them.” Zelda said with a seemingly kind tone, but there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Valda looked down and glanced at the long-sleeved T-shirt she was wearing. She had stayed at Brian’s villa last night, so the clothes she was wearing today were the ones Brian had bought for her.
Because all of those clothes are from luxury brands, she specifically chose the most inconspicuous T-shirt, but this T-shirt costs a whopping 2.8 million?
Valda feels like her view on money has been shattered. Today, she’s not wearing a t-shirt, but gold!
And upon hearing Zelda’s words, Ginger looked at Valda with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
“If you really want to wear some branded clothes, why don’t I give you some of my old clothes instead?
Although I’ve worn them before, each piece is worth several thousand yuan. Ginger bought them for me. Whenever I want to buy clothes, Ginger will buy them for me without considering the price.”
