Chapter: Chapter 21-Falling in LoveI began to understand many things about the business and its intricacies.Over the weeks when James kept bringing me to his office, I started to help him with his projects.Maybe I'm not as competent as James yet, but I'll keep honing my skills. For now, he was focused on working on his new hotel project with an overseas client.So far there have been no problems, even Maria and Vivi no longer come to visit to make a mess. Jack has also refrained from causing trouble after being given a stern warning by James.I wonder how long they will continue to restrain themselves?"Are you done, darling? Nothing left?" James asked in the doorway, looking at me who had just finished changing. The beige blouse I was wearing had spilled quite a lot of curry, so I had to change it. James quickly ordered new clothes for me, before I could even ask him.He's very sensitive in every way.Especially this afternoon, we intended to stop by a restaurant for dinner together.I grabbed my bag and took James'

Chapter: Chapter 20-He's Just A Trashy Guy!I didn't expect the heavy rain this morning.After James left for work, I decided to go grocery shopping at the supermarket. Since I was starting to cook for him, I wanted to buy the ingredients I wanted myself. James wasn't a picky eater, but I still wanted to ask him what he liked.I sighed and sat on the bench in front of the supermarket. I placed two large plastic bags right next to me. As a conglomerate, people might feel surprised to see me shopping alone.I like doing this, without caring about what other people think.'I like your simplicity, the way you are'.Those words rang in my head again. I smiled as I recalled James' shady expression. Despite being his wife and holding all his money, I wasn't going to squander any of it. I just wanted to repay the people who had always insulted me.I reached out my hand, touching the cold water that was falling like an icy shower. My gaze moved to the opposite side of the supermarket, looking at the boutique that was open.There were t

Chapter: Chapter 19-$10,000 "Does it still hurt? Shall we go to the doctor?""No need." I touched James' hand and shook my head. "It doesn't hurt anymore. I just need to put some gel on it to make the marks disappear."James let out a rough breath. I could tell he was still angry about what happened. Even when we had arrived home, he didn't stop noticing my flushed cheeks. Maria had slapped me so hard with her big hand that it had left a mark on my cheek."I can't forgive her. Maria always does whatever she wants and I tried to hold back because she's my sister, but now, I really can't take it anymore." James chuckled softly, the inflamed resentment coming to the surface again.I squeezed James' hand and rested my head on his shoulder. I stroked his sweat-dampened chest, then my hands rested on his strong neck."I know you're very upset by Maria's actions. I feel the same way, but I don't want you to dwell on it like this," I said, worried that James would be plagued with anxiety every day. "How about you take a

Chapter: Chapter 18-That's For Sure, SweetyAll the employees stared in confusion as they were gathered on the first floor.I took my father's hand and stood next to James, while Jack stood some distance away. He just kept staring at his feet."As a new employee in my company, I want you to abide by all the rules," James said in a big voice. He pulled Jack closer and motioned for him to stand in front of my father. "I don't like employees who are trouble makers, let alone authority figures, when they're just 'regular employees'. Just because we're related, doesn't mean you can act like an overnight boss."James deliberately emphasized his last sentence and Jack's face turned sour.The employees started whispering, because they knew that Jack was James' nephew who was notorious for causing trouble. And on his first day of work, he had already made James angry.Jack would never learn from his mistakes."Now, I want you to kneel down and apologize to Mr. Lincoln."James gave the order and everyone stared in surprise, especially Ja

Chapter: Chapter 17-Come on, Dad!Overcast clouds hung in the sky and the wind came sweeping in like a blizzard. I shuddered and tightened my coat. With the end of summer approaching, it seemed like the frequency of rain would increase these days.James opened the door before I could do so, and he held out his hand. I accepted it with a happy smile, then looked at the towering building in front of us.This morning, James and I went to his office together. James wants me to take part in every meeting he has. That way, I can learn more about the business that James is involved in.James is a true workaholic. He does his job perfectly, leaving no stone unturned to make his clients feel unsatisfied. That's why at his age, he can already taste his success.I want to work with a competent person like James. And today, he intends to show me how he controls the company.When we stepped inside, the employees who passed by immediately greeted us. They bowed respectfully and greeted politely, while James replied briefly.Their e

Chapter: Chapter 16-That Sounds Marvelous James' birthday celebration was going to be lively.I stared at the building that had been decorated with a simple design, adapted to James' age of 41. The gray color dominated, while the main beverage was the finest expensive wine ordered by James himself.There was no birthday cake, just a jumbo-sized roast turkey placed in the center of the room, right underneath a hanging golden chandelier.James' birthday celebration party was more like a formal party attended by people from the upper class. My eyes are filled with an array of expensive suits and dresses, all shouting out their abundant wealth.Tonight, I'm wearing a sexy and elegant red silk dress, as well as the jadeite necklace James picked out for me. My hair is left down with a small clasp on the side of my head.James himself is wearing a luxurious black tuxedo. His hair is neatly slicked back, with cologne that gives off a distinctly masculine scent.We stood at the opening of the main hall for a moment. James took my hand

Chapter: Chapter 69-A SecretThe cold wind carried a mist that blurred the view ahead. The forest Viviane traversed grew denser, with towering hawthorn trees lining her path.The sunlight could no longer penetrate the thick canopy of interwoven branches. Though it was still morning, the place resembled a moonless night.Viviane wiped the sweat from her forehead and glanced at Volkov, who was sleeping soundly in her arms. The distinct scent of trees after the rain had lulled him to sleep. The place was damp and quite chilly, prompting her to find a better spot to rest."Where are we heading, Miss Viviane?" Gonder asked, scanning the unfamiliar surroundings. He and his wife were both weary and hungry, but they had found nothing edible along the way.Viviane sighed tiredly. "We should head west, toward where the sun sets."Gonder and Suzy nodded, having no other suggestion for their destination. Leading the way, Viviane secretly felt unsure of where to go, but she couldn’t afford to show her hesitation.Suddenly, so

Chapter: Chapter 68-Leave!"Take them all out. Today, they will be taken to the border." That morning, Brandon immediately gave orders to his Beta. Following his claim and official proclamation, Brandon wanted Viviane and her followers to leave Pack Leinz immediately. Victor nodded obediently and hurried to the dungeon. Brandon then turned to Rachel, who was seated beside him. Her face was furrowed, lost in thought. “Sweety, are you alright?” “Mm, yes.” Rachel snapped out of her thoughts and pulled the corners of her lips into a smile. “I was just... just thinking about Viviane's departure and…” “What is it? Are you worried?” Brandon asked, raising an eyebrow. Rachel fiddled with the ribbon of her gown and nodded. “A little. I’m afraid she might do something after Kennedy’s death. She’s skilled at concocting poisons, and... I’m just scared she might seek revenge,” Rachel admitted, rubbing her neck uneasily. She wasn’t sure why she was suddenly dwelling on it, especially since Viviane was just an ordinary

Chapter: CHAPTER 67-The Declaration Rachel and Armani sprinted through the forest, their hearts pounding with both anticipation and joy. Rachel had heard from the Moon Goddess that Brandon had triumphed over Kennedy in their duel. He had taken control of Pack Leinz following Kennedy’s death in their battle. Initially, Rachel was deeply worried, knowing Kennedy and Viviane often resorted to underhanded tactics. But she was also aware that Brandon’s strength was unmatched. “Mom, are we almost there?” Armani asked, matching his mother’s pace as they navigated the dense forest. The pungent smell of moss lingered in the air after a light drizzle had fallen just moments before. “Almost there, sweetheart,” Rachel replied. “Are you tired?” “Not at all!” Armani exclaimed, shaking his head with a determined look that made Rachel chuckle. “I’m the heir to Pack Manowi, strong like my father. There’s no way I’d feel tired.” Rachel let out a soft laugh, gently patting the top of Armani’s head, charmed by his confidence. “In th

Chapter: Chapter 66-Yes, Alpha...Brandon made the announcement in a booming voice, addressing the guards, servants, Beta Gonder, Beta Suzy, Viviane, and her nine-year-old son—Volkov Li. He stood before Kennedy’s throne, with Victor positioned just below the steps. Everyone knelt before Brandon, affirming his claim over Pack Leinz. Viviane and Kennedy’s two Betas were forced to kneel under the pressure of Brandon’s overwhelming power. Viviane clenched her fists, her fury still burning deep within. Her tears had dried, but her heart was shattered beyond repair. She knew her life would change drastically after Kennedy’s death, but now she had one single purpose. She had to avenge Kennedy. She had to kill Brandon mercilessly, just as he had done to her husband. Viviane glanced at her son, who was bowing his head beside her. His face was pale and downcast, his lips sealed tight for hours. He was still deeply shaken by Kennedy’s death and Brandon’s claim over the pack that should have been inherited by Volkov. All he
