Chapter 141
When Nolan heard that the gifts that were brought would be given to the matriarch publicly, in front of every member of the family as well as the guests, he instantly felt regret for not stopping by a jewelry shop and getting a birthday present for the head of the Storm family.Although Zoey Storm had shown him the present she'd prepared for her mother beforehand, he thought that the gifts would be handed to the matriarch later on after the birthday party, privately.And though Nolan knew that this was all an act and his status within the Storm family was the false boyfriend of Zoey Storm, he also loved to play his cards very well. If he was told to pose as her temporarily, why not act his role perfectly without any flaws.This was the type of mindset that Nolan had, that's why he was so eager to help the Lee family resolve their current crisis when all he had been asked to do by Jessica Lee was to serve as her bodyguard for awhile at least until the problem between the Lee family an

Natasha Storm suddenly snapped her delicate fingers, and her husband, Liam Frederick, retrieved a small transparent glass vial half-filled with a blood-red liquid from under his suit jacket and immediately handed it over to his wife.“Thank you, babe.”Natasha received the small transparent glass vial from Liam with a slight smile plastered across her face as she turned towards her mother, the matriarch Julia Storm."This is the Vial of Youthfulness priced at ten million dollars.” She stated boastfully.“It is said that the substance inside this glass vial was obtained from the sacred Tree of Youthfulness. And it is said that whomever drinks the Vial of Youthfulness, an entire decade is added to their years, making them 10 years younger.” Natasha Storm added with a tone laced with pride and elegance.“Mm,” This piqued matriarch Julia's interest as she scrutinized the small transparent glass vial in Natasha's soft grip, as well as the half-filled bloodred liquid inside it that seemed

When it was finally the turn for Layla Storm and her fiance, Derrick Gray, to step forward and present their birthday gift to the matriarch, Julia Storm, the entire banquet hall died down in an instant. Silence reigned across the entire banquet hall as everyone curiously watched as Layla and Derrick strode forward with a small deep wooden box in Derrick's grips. The wooden box itself didn't look anything special, merely gazing at it, it resembled any ordinary wooden box one would normally see at stores.However, with closer inspection, the wooden box appeared to be engraved with intricate and complex symbols and elements that instantly made it stand out from any ordinary wooden box. It looked more like a treasure chest than an actual ordinary wooden box!The wooden box also looked a bit rusty, showing signs of slight decay on the surface, it was very obvious that the box had stood the test of time, appearing like a piece that had survived for several decades or probably a century o

Nolan, playing in character, took Zoey's hand politely, and led her to the front of the banquet hall, where matriarch Julia Storm was standing with elegance.Every pair of eyes inside the banquet hall was directed to Nolan and Zoey as if threatening to burrow a hole into their very souls.However, Nolan didn't waver. He stood strong as a steel, brushing past the crowd in front of him as he led his false girlfriend to the direction of the matriarch of the Storm family, in front of the banquet hall. Most of the people were making way for him, as if his whole existence was a plague, and if he touched them, they'd contact his poverty.But Nolan didn't bother himself at all by their reactions, he was used to it. To the point where their disgust and disdain towards him no longer fazed him, as long as they didn't physically lay a hand on him or touch anyone that he knew.After successfully making it through the crowd, Nolan came eye-to-eye with the matriarch of the Storm family, that terrify

“Why would I buy something that's fake for the matriarch’s birthday?” Zoey inquired with an imposing tone. It was very obvious that Zoey Storm never planned to blend to Layla Storm's claims.“Yes, my business is going through tough times right now, but it's not to the point that I won't consider my mother's birthday. I might not seem like it, but I have a lot of pride. And I don't intend to lose to any of you.” She added tersely.Layla Storm crossed her arms in front of her chest as she glared at Zoey coldly and let out a disdainfully and contemptuous snarl.“But we all know that you hate mom and her principles. You always find a way to oppose her. Intentionally breaking family rules like getting this trash and pauper as a boyfriend. I can't believe you stoop so low just to oppose the family's rules. How do you expect us to believe that your present isn't another grand plan of yours to get back at the matriarch. Could be fake for all we know.” Layla insisted with a tone tinged with a

“WHAT?” “Did he just say that the Moon Jade amulet is the real deal?”“I can't believe that Zoey Storm actually got her mother a birthday present worth 8 million dollars even when we're all aware that her business is currently struggling. Isn't she so awesome.” Someone amid the crowd of business tycoons and rich men present inside the banquet hall remarked in astonishment.“Yeah, that's true.”“Zoey is so amazing.”“That's the beauty goddess for you lots. She's got a heart of gold. I can't believe she chose that tramp over every other guy that asked her out. She deserves better than that good-for-nothing loser.” Another person added tersely, expressing his disdain and contempt for Nolan Wilton.…The murmuring grew intense by the minute as everyone sang songs for praises to Zoey Storm, while also mocking and ridiculing Nolan for being extremely lucky to have been given the chance to date the beauty goddess.Seeing that everyone was now on Zoey's side, Layla Storm ground her teeth and

Layla Storm instantly lost her confidence when she realized that there was no way that she could cause Zoey humiliation. She clenched her fist tightly and grounded her teeth as she felt the immense pleasure of everyone's gazes brushing past her entire being from different directions inside the banquet hall.“Does that mean that Miss Zoey has been saying the truth this entire time?” Someone suddenly said inquiringly.“That's how it seems,”“I knew the beauty goddess would never do such a thing. She's just too beautiful and kind to stoop so low.” Someone else whispered tersely. His gaze was fixated on the gorgeous figure of the Icy Demoness Zoey Storm.“Do you think that Layla Storm was saying all those hateful things about Miss Zoey out of pure hatred and jealousy?” Whispered yet another person with the crowd of people invited by the matriarch of the Storm family to her special event as her guests.“Of course, that's the only explanation. She was driven by jealousy even when everyone c

Outside the Greenhaven Event Center’s main building!It was about 10 o'clock in the evening.The birthday party of the matriarch of the Storm family, Julia Storm, had just ended.The guests had already started leaving one by one in their flashy luxurious cars.Only a few others as well as the members of the Storm family were still present in the vicinity.Nolan had been itching to leave all this while, however he refrained himself, partially worried that the members of the Storm family would see his action as a form of disrespect—especially the matriarch herself, and partially because he didn't want to ruin his “almost completed” pretentious acting.He was cautious that the members of the Storm family would catch wind of his role as Zoey's boyfriend if he isn't present till the very end of the birthday party.Right now, he was very glad that they've finally decided to leave. He could now peacefully return to the comfort of his bed, sleep off today's pile of stress weighing on his shou
Chapter 149
By this time, several flashy expensive cars were already rolling out of the event center compound one at a time, creating some sort of a convoy.The Storm siblings also rolled down their windows to find out what was going on and why their mother's car wasn't leaving just yet. They found out that she was talking with Zoey and that trash boyfriend of hers, so they decided to listen in on their conversation.“No, mom. Me and Nolan just wanted to talk about something. You can head out without me, I will definitely catch up with the rest of you.” Zoey Storm said in Nolan's stead, almost stammering.“Are you sure? I don't want you frolicking around with this pauper.” The matriarch insisted with a cold tone. She squinted her gaze seizing Nolan up and down in a disgusting manner, visibly expressing her displeasure and disdain towards him.“Yes, yes. I am sure.” Zoey Storm answered with a slightly trembling voice and a shaky breath, it was very obvious that she was nervous.“I think I know why

Jessica Lee sat on the leather couch deep in thoughts. She had been sad since this evening when she fired Nolan and asked him to leave and never come back. She started reflecting on her words, realizing that maybe she'd been too harsh to Nolan. It's not like he was pestering her or something, it was she who had specifically requested for his help that day at the hospital, making him promise that he'd become her bodyguard in a short period of time, without even giving the man enough time to sleep on it.She realized how selfish she was. It turns out that now that she knew that Nolan was gone for good, completely this time, she realized that she couldn't do without him by her side. He was always there to assure her that everything was going to be fine and she need not worry about anything at all. He gave her hope even in this hopeless situation. Even when she was very certain that her Lee family was doomed to fail against the powerful and great Kingston family, Nolan's voice always f
