Susan’s POV:

After breakfast, I was chatting with my daughter while applying nail polish.

Hallie asked, “Mom, why did Ailina suddenly became so different? And what did she mean today?”

I frowned, stretching out my hand so that she could also apply nail polish for me, saying, “What did she mean? She just wants to instigate the dispute between your father and me. She was like an instigator in this house. She not only wants to instigate your father but also the old man. The old man hasn’t let me for a long time. He must have listened to her calumny. I better arrange for her to marry some people earlier.”

Hallie paused for a moment. “Mom, what do you mean? Are you saying that you want Ailina and Darren to get married? No way! He is mine!” she said in a raised voice.

However, looking at Ailina, who was walking downstairs, I felt a little guilty. “Ailina, are you going out?” I asked.

She smiled calmly and nodded, “Yes.”

Then, she carried her bag and left.

As soon as she walked out, Hallie asked, “Mom, did she just hear us talking?” her voice was filled with panic.

“Hallie, mind your voice. She didn’t hear what we said before. But why did you suddenly raise your voice!” I said angrily.

“I…” She stammered.

“Mom, you been on the focused on the affair of you and dad every day, and I helped you along. But what about me? When will I enter the Moore family? Do you know how much I like Darren?” she said, gritting her teeth.

I laughed, “Isn’t that Darren already so fascinated by you that he can’t distract from you at all? Why are you so anxious?”

“But, didn’t he and Ailina about to get engaged? How can I not be in a hurry? Mom, Dad is so fascinated by you and obeys you on everything, but aren’t you also anxious about your future?” Hallie said, curling her lips.

“As a daughter, how can you say that to me? Only when I get marry with your father can you be a real Carter and called Hallie Carter. And only when you are Miss Carter, you are eligible to marry Darren Moore, understand? Otherwise, do you think Mrs. Moore let her son get married with a woman from some unknown background?”

After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, “Mom, what shall we do next?”

“The day before yesterday, you had such a good opportunity, but you missed it. If you have been succeeded that day, we would have not to worry about this. Till now, both of our businesses would have been solved!” I said helplessly.

Hallie gritted her teeth. “Who could know that Ailina, that bitch was so sensitive to the drug. Even though the drug was tasteless and colorless, she still recognized it and only took a sip of it.”

“A sip?” Hearing that, my eyes lit up and an idea suddenly popped into my mind.

Then, I took out my phone and made a call, “Help me find a computer expert!”

Ailina’s POV:

When I went back home, it was already noon. As I walked, I was talking with my assistant on the phone, “JK Entertainment just signed three new artists. You can train them.”

“Me? I won’t meet them. You can make all the decisions and don’t bother me by reporting every little thing. Jenny, you are the person I trust the most, understand?”

However, as soon as I reached the door, I saw a lot of people sitting in the living room.

Except for Dad, Susan, and Hallie, even Grandpa is also there. What’s more Darren and her mother are also present.

From the way they all looked at me, it seemed that they were waiting for me.

“Jenny, I will call you back later. There is something that I need to deal now.” I said to the person on the phone.

After I hung up, I walked inside.

As soon as Dad saw me, he said coldly, “Come over here!” His voice is filled with irritation and annoyance.

Hearing that, I walked over indifferently.

As soon as I walked over, he threw a stack of photos at my face, saying, “Ailina, look what have you done? Did you not care about the Carter family face?”

I frowned. Then, bent down and picked the photos from the floor. There are a total of five photos.

One is a photo of me drinking in the bar with my friends. Another one of me and a man going inside the hotel together and the rest of them are me and a man lying on the bed in different poses.

After looking at these photos, I put them on the table calmly.

Darren asked with a pained look on his face, “Ailina, am I not good enough for you? Why did you do this to me? We are about to get engaged, but you are fooling around with another man behind my back… You… you disappointed me so much…”

Hearing her lips, my lips curled up in a smile, and couldn’t help but sneered inwardly. ‘Disappointed? Shouldn’t you be happy? Had not been you messing around with Hallie all long, already?’

“How can you still smile?” Dad said angrily.

After scolding, he hurriedly looked at Mrs. Moore and apologized, “Madam Moore, I am so sorry. Ailina is still young and ignorant. Don’t worry, I certainly will knock sense into her.”

Hearing that, Madam Moore sneered. “Young and ignorant? Didn’t she know her identity? Didn’t she know that she is about get engaged with my son? Let me tell you Mr. Wilson, our Moore family will never accept a immoral woman like her as their daughter-in-law.”

Who do you think do it Dad?

Susan’s POV:

The engagement between Ailina and Darren is nothing more than a business deal between both families in the first place.

Hearing Mrs. Moore’s words, George panicked, “Madam Moore…”

“Madam Moore, If we still have another innocent daughter of the Carters, can we still keep the engagement?” I said, interrupting him.

“The Wilson’s still have another daughter?” Madam Moore frowned. Then, she looked at Hallie and said arrogantly, “My son Darren is the only heir of the Moore family and we don’t accept an illegitimate daughter for him.”

I looked at George, but he looked at the old master.

“Dad, please let Hallie marry Darren?” he begged.

As soon as George finished speaking, everyone's attention fell on Old Mater, who was just sitting there listening to our conversation.

However, instead, he looked at Ailina and asked, “Ailina, what do you think?”

“Dad, how can you still ask her opinion. She doesn’t have a right to say anything. If it weren’t for her, would it be like that?” George said angrily.

I also clenched my fists tightly. I didn’t expect that even after things had gone this far, that old master Wilson would still ask for Ailina’s opinion.

‘Shouldn’t he be disappointed at her?’ I thought.

However, Ailina didn’t say anything and just looked at the photos on the table. Seeing her like this, I couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.

‘Did she find anything?’

However, I quickly shook that thought out of my mind, thinking, Ailina is just a little girl who didn’t know about anything. What’s more, I had to find an expert to do this, she can’t find any clue.

Ailina’s POV:

As I looked at the photos, I couldn’t help but wonder about what happened to me. Although these photos are composites, I did lose my virginity that day. However, Hallie and Susan didn’t know about this. But if they find out about it in the future, I knew that I slept with a call boy, I couldn’t even imagine what they would do.

However, since Hallie wanted to be with Darren, I will certainly fulfill her wish, but it’s not the right time!

I don’t care if Hallie liked Darren and wanted to be with him, because I don’t want him. However, she can’t get him just like that.

First, she had to pay the price for her.

So, even though it was true that I slept with someone, I can’t let them frame me like that.

Seemingly seeing that I didn’t speak, Susan looked at me and said, “Ailina, I know that you must be uncomfortable in your heart now. This not what we wanted to see, but you also have to consider for the Wilson’s and your father’s company.”

Hallie also said weakly, “Sister, I know you love Darren, but you shouldn’t have done this kind of this. How hurtful it is for Darren?”

Darren also laughed at himself, his voice painful and melancholy.

“Ailina, I thought that you loved me, but you did such a thing. How can I marry you, and how did you let me face you? When I am with you in the future, I will always think of those pictures…”

I put those photos back on the table and laughed softly.

Seeing this, Dad was about to slap me, but Grandpa held his hand to stop him, saying, “Let down your hand.”

Dad was so angry that he looked at Grandpa, saying, “Dad, you can’t spoil Ailina like this anymore. Look at what she had become now. Even after doing such a shameless thing, she still laugh like this.”

“Dad, where did these photos came from?” I asked.

“Where? You don’t have a right to ask this question. Sure enough, someone purposefully took these pictures while you were doing such a dirty things and sent them to the Moore’s.” Dad said furiously.

I took out the computer and turned it on.

“What are you doing? Your Grandpa asked you a question. What are you doing with your computer?” Dad asked, gritting his teeth.

However, ignoring his words, I uploaded the photos to the computer, and then quickly tapped on the keyboard.

“Dad, look at her, look at her. You spoil her. She still does these insignificant things when this kind of things happened…”

However, before he could finish speaking, I pushed the computer in front of him.

There are two photos on the computer, one is me standing in the garden, and the other is a photo of a man and a woman on the bed. Their gestures matched the one of the photos just placed on the table. But the protagonists inside were changed. The woman is replaced with a strange woman.

Dad looked at the photo on the laptop for a long time, without saying anything.

“What’s going on?” he asked.

“Such awful technique is too embarrassing to be shown up, Aunt Susan, how much was it to composite a photo?” I asked coldly.

Hearing my question, Susan was shocked and her face turned pale.

After being directly asked by me, she smiled embarrassedly. “I didn’t understand what you’re talking about?”

I curled my lips, pointed at the computer, saying, for a contour at the photo on the computer, saying, “Dad, look. Someone used my face on the photo of me standing in the garden and stuck it on another bed photo. It’s just a computer-composites photo. Look at this photo again. The woman has a mole on her arm, but I didn’t have one on my arm.”

Hearing that Dad frowned.

“This photo of me standing in the garden is my private photo. People outside our home can’t get it. It must have been given by someone, by our family members. So, who do you think it will be, Dad?” I asked again

Hearing that Dad looked up at Susan

She shook her head. “I didn’t do it. How could I do such a thing? I really didn’t…”

He pursed his lips and ignoring Susan, he looked at Madam Moore, saying, “Madam Moore, this is misunderstanding. Ailina hasn’t done this kind of thing. The engagement…”

Madam Moore also changed her attitude. She smiled, held my hand, saying, “Ailina, I just misunderstand you. I always know that you are a good kid.”

Hearing that I didn’t say anything then just smiled lightly.

Madam Moore felt embarrassed. She got up saying, “So, I will go back!”

“Ailina, shows the gusts to the door.” Dad pushed me forward.

With no choice left, I followed them out.

Why are you here?

Darren POV:

Before getting in the car, I paused and looked at Ailina.

Every time I came to the Wilson’s before when I left, Ailina always told me to be careful on the way back home, reluctant to part from me.

However, today even after waiting for so long, she didn’t say anything and just stood far away and looked at me to get in the car. There is not even a smile on her face.

Because of this, I felt a little lost in my heart.

“Girls need to be coaxed. Take some time to buy a gift for Ailina. Today she is indeed wrong!” Mom said, patting my hand.

I nodded. However, today when I looked at Ailina I felt that she is different from before, I can’t tell what different is.

Ailina’s POV:

I was about to go inside when I suddenly saw a familiar figure on the side of the road and I went blank because of fear.

He was the man I slept with.

I ran to the man standing not far away. “What are you doing here?” I asked.

The man didn’t say anything and looked at me for a while. Then, he finally opened his thin lips saying, “I am waiting for a friend.”

Thinking about today’s photos incident and this man here, I couldn’t help but think, ‘Weren’t they made by Susan, but this pimp? Did he want money?’

Thinking that I couldn’t help but grit my teeth. “Do you know who I am?”

The man thought for a moment, then nodded, “Yes.”

“You…”

Hearing his words, my heart is filled with irritation.

Just as I was about to say something, suddenly my eyes fell on Ellie, who was coming out of the house. Seeing her, I pulled the man and hid behind a black Maybach next to me.

It was only when she turned into a corner and couldn’t see us anymore, that I breathed a sigh of relief.

However, only when I looked up that I realized how close we were standing. We are so close that we can even feel each other breath on our faces.

“What… what are you trying to do? Why are you standing so close to me? Don’t think that you can continue to do something to me because we did that before?” I glared at him.

However, he didn’t say anything and just looked coldly at my hands wrapped around his neck.

Just now I was in a hurry to hide, so I held his neck to push him down because he is 185 cm in height. However, even though he is standing behind the car, the car can’t hide his figure.

Seeing this I quickly let off his hand in a panic and coughed lightly. “Emmm…”

For a moment, I didn’t even remember what I was going to say.

“Well, why are you hiding behind the car? Are you playing Hide and Seek? I didn’t even see you when I just came out?” A man in a flowery shirt walked over and asked with a smile.

I don’t know this man. But thinking of the way he talked to the other man, it seemed he was the friend he was talking about.

‘Maybe this man is also like the one in front of me and they both were pimps in the hotel?’

Thinking that I couldn’t help but look meaningfully at the man in front of me.

Their style is very different.

“Let’s go.” the man in front of me spoke, walked into the car, and sat in the back seat.

The other man also walked over quickly and sat in the driver’s seat. Soon, the car drove away.

When I saw the car in front of me, I suddenly remembered what I wanted to talk about that man just now.

I didn’t want to let others know that I had slept with a pimp. If possible, I wanted to send him and his abroad.

Thinking that, I quickly chased after the car.

“Wait! Wait!”

Since I just came out to send gusts, I didn’t even change my shoes and was still wearing a pair of slippers. As I ran, the slippers were lost, and my feet hurt.

When I raised my feet to look, I saw a piece of glass piercing my feet. I couldn’t help but gasp in pain.

I grinned in pain. To be honest, I was a person who was used to being afraid of pain very much. But in my previous life, I had even broken my leg to save the man.

However, thinking about the past, my heart turned cold and I couldn’t help but laugh. ‘How funny I was in my past life?’

Rican’s POV:

I didn’t expect to meet Ailina here after what happened several days ago. I thought she would go to Manger Andy, but I didn’t expect this girl to be the same as other women.

I didn’t know who she was before, but after that day I investigated her thoroughly.

I was looking at the documents in my hands, when James suddenly spoke, “Third master, do you know that girl? She had been chasing out car.”

Hearing his words, I looked back and saw Ailina hobbling and seemed to be walking towards the side of the road.

“Stop the car.” I said.

“Third master, do you know her?” James asked in surprise.
