Raven’s heart skipped a beat. Outwardly, however, she affected indifference. “Oh yeah? And who’s that supposed to be? You?”

Melissa was just about to drop an F-bomb when the door to the elevator suddenly opened. Employees from other floors swarmed in and filled up the space around them.

The two women tacitly decided not to continue their previous exchange. It was only after the two of them walked out of the lift that Melissa broke their feigned truce by pointing in a direction with a scowl. “There’s your canteen. Go there yourself; I’m not gonna waste my time taking you there—it’s a place even a pig would know.”

“Huh. Turns out that a high-class socialite representative like yourself is just as uncouth and jerkish as the rest of us ‘plebs’, too,” Raven riposted acridly. “You think everyone who goes to the canteen for lunch is a pig, huh? Well, I’m gonna skip the canteen and order a takeout instead; at least I wouldn’t be derided as a mere pig by some high and mighty aristocrat. Than

    He was slightly annoyed due to work. “She wasn’t completely joking either. I do have a fiance, but it’s not her. Do whatever you should; I’ve still got work to attend to.”Instantly, the delight Raven felt a moment ago vanished. She felt as though she had suddenly been splashed with a bucket full of cold water. Despite the hot summer’s day, she felt an immense cold piercing her.‘I’ve been living under the same roof as him for half a year now, yet I never knew that he has a fiance!‘He claims that Cynthia is his sister and Melissa isn’t his fiance, so who could his fiance possibly be?!’While Raven was filled with doubts, she unwillingly left the office because she knew that Aristotle did not like to be disturbed while he was working. In fact, she had “overstepped” her boundaries a little a moment ago. ‘I definitely can’t make him feel irked by me, he’s the very last straw I have left!’Since both of them were living in Tremont Estate together, it was only natural that the both of

    As she watched Cynthia head upstairs, Melissa came up with a plan. “Agnes, you should hurry up and prepare dinner. Raven’s around, isn’t she? I’ll go look for her.”Agnes nodded her head and replied, “She’s around. I’ll get on with my work then, while you youngsters go on and have fun.”Hence, Melissa walked towards Raven’s room and knocked on the door. Raven had already heard the commotion earlier, but she deliberately holed herself up in her room. “Is something the matter?”Melissa helped herself as she directly pushed open the door and entered. “Of course something’s the matter. Come on, we’re going shopping together. I’ll buy you dinner, you can eat whatever you want.”Obviously, Raven knew that Melissa would not offer her something so nice unconditionally. The relationship they had had not reached to the point where they could go shopping and eat together. “Cough, cough… I’m not feeling so good, so I can’t accompany you today. You’d be better off going with someone else.”Mel

    Aristotle suddenly turned serious as he said, “I’m not afraid. I like how you used to be. If I really end up not being able to find a girlfriend, you’ll just have to pay by giving yourself to me then. That’s what Aunt Tiffany has always expected anyway.”Although he may seem to be joking, he still managed to make Cynthia’s heart skip a beat. As she panicked, her tongue seemed to have twisted together and was unable to utter a word for a while.Aristotle squinted his eyes and suddenly inched close to her face. “I see that you’re still the same as you were in the past. You’d begin to stutter the moment you got nervous and wouldn’t be able to say a word for a while…”Aristotle’s voice had a hint of seductiveness in it, which caused Cynthia to be stunned again.Ever since they were kids, Cynthia’s biological brother, Plato, was the most unreliable one. On the other hand, Aristotle was quiet but gentle towards her and had always been very orthodox. However, at that very moment, Aristotl

    As Aristotle was faced with the barrage of questions, he began to lament silently. ‘If it weren’t for you, I would’ve been done with whatever I was doing just now.’Aristotle had been maintaining his image as a reliable elder brother to Cynthia, but Plato had provoked him too far that he instantly cursed as he said, “Enough, I don’t have the f*cking time to be bothered with you. We’ll talk when you get back. I’m hanging up now.”Aristotle had always been very proficient at ending conversations cleanly. In an instant, the world became peaceful again.Then, Aristotle recalled how Cynthia had run off in a panic. ‘I suppose I won’t be able to maintain my usual image any longer. I’ve already kissed her, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to pretend to be innocent anymore, would it?’He stood up and tidied his shirt before heading downstairs. He took a glance and noticed that Cynthia was hiding in the kitchen to help with the cooking. Hence, he stood by the kitchen door and called out, “Come

    When they arrived at the hospital, Raven was still in the emergency treatment room.Melissa was waiting at the corridor like a child who had done something wrong. After all, she was still young and had been pampered all her life, so how would she have experienced such a scenario before? All her traces of arrogance had completely vanished, and when she saw Aristotle, she felt even more guilty.However, Aristotle did not put the blame on her. Instead, he wanted to know what had happened as he asked, “What happened exactly? Why did it happen to her while you were shopping? Did the two of you walk for too long? Didn’t you just leave not too long ago?”Melissa squirmishly glanced at Cynthia before she mumbled, “I don’t know either… I did hear that she isn’t that healthy, but I don’t know what kind of sickness she has exactly. So we went out shopping like normal people, but who knew that she would suddenly faint? At the time, I noticed that she was coughing so much that her face had turne

    Aristotle casually shot her a glance. “Is this little girl actually teaching me what I’m supposed to do? I’m your brother, you should at least be more polite with me. I know what I’m supposed to do. When the time’s right, I’ll get her settled. However, now’s not the time; you saw it yourself, she’s in no condition to leave at the moment.”Melissa was slightly aggrieved as she said, “What do you mean that she’s in no condition to leave? If she could leave if she wanted to, she’d never be in the condition to leave.”At that moment, Cynthia tapped Melissa’s shoulders. “All right, all right. Ares has been living alone in France for so many years, so it’s tough enough for him to be able to find someone whom he could talk to. Furthermore, she even saved his life, so we shouldn’t be so petty about it.”Melissa shot Cynthia a glare. ‘Am I not doing all this because of you?’After Cynthia awkwardly laughed, no one continued to speak further about the matter.After a very long time, the doc

    ‘You’re not that worried?’ Melissa was so furious that she laughed. “Am I the only one who’s being worried for nothing? I thought you loved my brother, didn’t you? The man you’ve been dreaming of every day has returned from France but brought a woman with him, yet you’re actually not that worried? Let’s put aside your parents’ intentions for a moment. Do you dare to say that you don’t love him? I’m only helping you because you’re my best friend, so could you not be so relaxed, as if I’m helping you for no reason?”Cynthia shook her head and lowered her volume as she said, “He… might have confessed to me. We also… did that already. So, I think he doesn’t feel that way towards Raven. It’s purely because she saved his life once. I trust that Ares will be able to handle the situation properly.”Melissa’s eyes opened wide. “What? He’s only returned for a few days, yet the two of you have already had sex? That fast?! I never knew it, but you’ve really got it in you!”Cynthia’s face flushe

    Melissa knew that Aristotle had kissed Cynthia, so she knew what was going on. Hence, she very naturally boasted, “Of course, they’ve been engaged to each other since they were born. Coincidentally, the both of them felt the same way about each other as they grew up, so wouldn’t this make it even better? From the way I see it, your illness isn’t going to recover for the rest of your life and the both of them are probably going to have to wait until Cindy graduates before they get married. So, you’d be better off moving back to France as early as possible. Don’t worry, you’ve saved Aristotle’s life before, so he wouldn’t be stingy with you financially.”Raven wanted to control the unhappiness she had in her heart very much, but her emotions refused to follow her will. Hence, she fiercely struggled to wring free from Melissa’s grasp. Melissa was startled for a moment. “Are you crazy?”After that, Raven regained her senses and took a deep breath. “I’m sorry… I was a little unwell just n

    Arianne had not heard that name for so long, she had to reel back in bemusement for a few seconds before finally remembering her face.Shelly-Ann Leigh… She must have spent all those years in the mental institution, right? God knows if the woman’s hair was now grey and white all over.When someone was near death, one could stand to forgive all of the history between them—even the dark ones, even if the ledger was brimming—for good. So, Arianne replied, “I’ll go with you. No matter what happened, she’s still your mother.”Mark did not expect that answer from her at all. In his surprise, he bent down and left a kiss on her lips. “I knew I picked the right woman as my wife. I thought you wouldn’t agree to let me accompany her for the last of her days…”Arianne replied nothing. She was not so obtuse that she would try to win over a woman whose days were numbered. No matter how much of an a**hole Shelly was, Arianne was still the one who came out on top. That victory was all she needed.

    Arianne sneered. “You confused, little thing. I wouldn’t be daft enough to anger the mother of the man I like if I were you, girl. I would especially not say anything as low IQ as that, too. Let me be completely frank with you: no one who bears the surname of Leigh will ever get the better of me—the last one failed. Hard. I can guarantee that you’ll leave us in the span of three days. If I lose, you can stay here forever. Wanna bet? I dare you.”She left her threat hanging at that and turned her wheelchair away, leaving the scorned young woman behind.Rage came out of Raven as waves of quakes all over her body. She was lurching close to hyperventilation, but right before it became impossible to stop, she came around and battled herself to calm down. She had a feeling that even if she fainted right there and then, no one would discover her, would they?Now that Arianne and Mark had returned, the Tremont Estate had recovered its vivacity and life. It had become merry.And Raven Leigh

    Melissa was the type who always pushed things to go as festive as logically possible. She leaped to her feet and raised her cup, “Yo, everyone! Let’s toast to Cindy becoming my cousin-in-law!”The crowd answered enthusiastically with their cups in the air and a roar—except Raven, who remained seated. “I have a sickly constitution. I can’t drink. I’m sorry.”Her smile was so mechanical, her face too ashen. Something flickered in Arianne’s eyes before she replied, “Sure.”After the revelry faded, Arianne steered her wheelchair to the courtyard. The outward appearance of the Tremont Estate seemed to have frozen in time, which was why being here made her feel so… safe.Of course, that was despite Henry and Mary’s passing. In the end, time passed and things changed, characters and objects came and went, and all these missing years left lingering regrets in their wake.Arianne espied the silhouette standing alone at a distance and approached her, sighing, “Nothing beats being home.”Ra

    Arianne grabbed the two beauties by the hands and smiled. “Thank you! Gosh, to me… it’s like you two have grown older in the blink of an eye! How gorgeous the two of you are! Cindy, where’s your brother? Plato hasn’t come home yet?”Mentioning the name of her dear brother made Cynthia pout. “He said he was coming home half a month ago—that’s what he said. Who knows what he’s actually doing, though? Anyway, who cares about that no-good. He’s always like this anyway. Oh, um, the weather is quite hot. We should probably get inside.”Arianne nodded and shot a brief, uneasy look at Aristotle. Not once did he look like he wanted to talk to her… Could the boy be counting his grievances in his mind? Mark and Arianne had stayed in Switzerland for so long; life must have been hard for him all alone.It took until she reached the living room to finally notice Raven. “Millie, is this your younger sister?”Melissa quickly sprung to correct her. “What? Noooo. This is Ares’ classmate or something

    Aristotle’s entire being stilled.He had waited for this news for nineteen years. As time passed, the flames died little by little, the heart grew more numb, until the very thought of it was no different from a pipe dream. But today, news of it coming true reached him and plunged him into a torrent of feelings.A long while later, he finally muttered under his breath, “When… When will they be back?”Jackson closed the distance between them and gave the young man a light, comforting pat on the shoulders. “Not so soon, I bet; not when your mother has just woken up and is in need of some time to recover. She did sleep for nineteen years, you know. So maybe after she’s recuperated enough for a while…” he answered. “We’ve waited for nineteen years for this, right? What’s waiting for just a little bit more compared to that? The most important thing for you to do is to manage the company to the best of your abilities. That’s the way to not disappoint your father’s expectation.”Aristotle

    Cynthia had never had a relationship before, so she did not know what love was. However, one thing was for certain. She loved the feeling of being with Aristotle and how he had protected her since they were kids. Even though Aristotle had become a little domineering and “naughty”, she was not taken aback by him. Instead, she even felt a little moved, which was amazing.It wasn’t known how they ended up in bed, with their breaths synchronized. Apart from the final step, they had done just about everything else that could be done.Just as they were about to hit the final step, Aristotle suddenly stopped and helped pull the covers over Cynthia. “Let’s sleep, good night.”Cynthia was still lost in a daze from before. She did not know why Aristotle had suddenly stopped, nor did she have the courage to ask him. She had struggled for so long before having persuaded herself to go with the flow…The next day, when Cynthia woke up, Aristotle had already long gone to his company.She took a

    Cynthia heard what Aristotle said, but her hands did not stop doing what they were doing. Her head was in a complete mess. “There’s no… no need. I’ll be able to be done with these now. Go ahead and get some sleep first. By the way, where am I sleeping tonight? There are so many rooms here, I’ll ask Agnes to help me clear one up.”Aristotle walked up to her and squatted. He grabbed onto her arm with one hand while the other closed the luggage. “Just sleep with me here and stop tidying already.”Cynthia suspected that she might have misheard. She took a look at the big bed behind him in a daze and suddenly felt her palm, which was held by him, burning up. “Y… You’re kidding, aren’t you, Ares? Although we used to sleep with each other a lot when we were kids, we’re all grown ups now, so wouldn’t that be a little inappropriate?”Aristotle said with a straight face, “I wasn't joking.”Cynthia panicked a little and recalled Melissa’s words once again. ‘Would Ares, whom I’ve known for so
