In the West Mansion, Jackson was eating with his mother, Summer, when his phone dinged. He was in no hurry to check it but Summer could not help reminding him, “Son, are you not going to take a look? What if it’s something to do with the company?”

It was only then that Jackson fished out his phone and was greeted with Tiffany’s resignation email. Faced with the table of delicacies, he suddenly lost his appetite. He did not reply to the email either, merely chucking his phone aside.

Summer registered the changes in her son’s expression. “Is it something difficult? You’re still young, there’s a lot in business that you don’t know about. You can ask mom. It’s not a shameful thing to ask for advice.”

Jackson remained silent for a moment before he said, “I have an employee resigning, but I don’t really want to let the employee go. What should I do?”

Summer mulled over Jackson’s question before she replied, “Well, find out the reason for the resignation. If the person is unhappy with their c

    Saturday and Sunday passed in just a blink of an eye.Tiffany did not show up in the office on Monday. She assumed Jackson had gone partying during the weekend and did not see her email. He would probably reply to her once he went to work on Monday. If it was not necessary, she did not want to go into the office and speak to him face to face. Whenever she met his gaze, she felt like running away. It was truly perplexing.At Bright Incorporated, Jackson was made aware of the situation when he passed by the working space and saw Tiffany’s desk was vacant. After he sat down in his office, he turned on his computer to reread her email. After considering it for a moment, he called her. “The company rules state that resignation requires the employee to show up in person.” He hung up as soon as he finished speaking, not waiting for her to reply. He was certain she would show up. After all, she would not abandon her salary that had yet to be paid.Just as expected, Tiffany arrived half an hour

    Tiffany pondered over Jackson’s offer. If Lillian knew Jackson made such an offer, she would never allow her to resign. This was truly an appealing incentive. However, once she recalled that it would be awkward since they would still meet in the office if she stayed and the rumors that had once spread online made her feel like hiding in a hole, she felt this was not a matter that could be resolved with money.“Thank you, but I decline.” Tiffany decided despite her aching heart. She could almost hear her heart weeping for her. After all, she was honestly in need of money.Jackson fell silent. He knew he was acting out of character. He was retaining a newbie who wanted to resign with a double increment in pay. It was unprecedented. He was also shocked that his offer had been declined. He did not want to force the matter, but he could not help the feeling of frustration that clawed at him. After a while, he finally said, “As you wish. Claim your salary from the general accounting departme

    A barely noticeable smile tugged at Jackson’s lips. “Sure, I’ll take it that she didn’t mention anything about resigning. I’ll keep my words and double her salary. However, please keep this to yourself since it’s unprecedented.”Tiffany placed the cash that she had just retrieved from the general accounting department on Jackson’s desk. “Here’s the wage that I took earlier.”Jackson shook his head. “Hold on to it. Your salary will still be remunerated this month. These will be considered as your annual bonus. We’ll subtract them at that time. Take the day off and come back to work tomorrow. Adjust your state of mind for now.”...Noontime. Arianne called Tiffany. “Why aren’t you here? You didn’t complete your resignation in time?”Tiffany sighed. “My whole life is a mess because of my mom. I won’t be able to work with you. I’m sorry, Ari…”Arianne knew what had happened without needing Tiffany to go into details. “It’s okay. Jackson’s company is not bad at all. You’ll have a lot of opp

    God knew why she was still unable to get used to the deed after so long. She was not particularly fond of it so she would rather not do it. However, her rejection was usually futile.Mark lowered his head and softly bit her lips. When Arianne recalled his naked state, she stiffened, no longer dared to move. She was afraid she would unintentionally touch something forbidden. She could only try to evade his kisses. “Don’t…”“You don’t like it?” Mark’s breath was puffed against her ear, making it feel itchy.“Mm… It feels strange,” Arianne answered honestly.“Strange? How?” He asked patiently.“Um… I always feel like we shouldn’t be doing this. To me, you’re not a man…”Before Arianne could finish her sentence, a murderous expression appeared on Mark’s face.She quickly said, “I don’t mean it like that! I’m saying, I was only eight back then, and you were already an adult. You’re like a brother figure to me… That’s why I feel strange…”Mark’s expression darkened even more. “It’s been so l

    It was really bothersome!Arianne regretted it after sending the text. Was she close enough to Mark that they could discuss such a topic? They looked like they were getting along, but they had yet to reach that stage!Just as she put her phone down and was about to head for lunch, her phone suddenly rang. She thought it was Mark but discovered it was Will when she picked up her phone. She did not hesitate to accept the call. Will would not look for her for nothing.Will’s blurry voice came from the other end of the line. “Ari… I don’t feel so well. I’m in room 205 at the Summer Hotel. It’s near your office. Can you come over for a bit?”Before she could reply, the line was cut. Arianne was puzzled, but she did not put much thought into it. Since it was lunchtime, she had time to go out for a while.While she was on her way, she could not help but feel suspicious. It was only her second day of work in the new company. How did Will know she was here? Summer Hotel was very far from Glide

    Outside of the room, Mark spoke coldly, “If any of those photos you took are leaked, you know what the consequences are.”Aery was shocked. Mark looked as though he came from hell at this moment. This was the first time he had spoken so harshly to her. She instinctively said, “Don’t worry… I’m only keeping the evidence for you. I worry that she’ll extort money from you when you divorce her. I won’t put it on the internet…”Arianne teared up. She had no idea what had actually happened. She trembled as she dressed herself. Then, she shook Will to wake him up.Will looked as lost as she did. “Huh? Why are you here, Ari?”With a sob, she replied, “You called me in the afternoon and asked me to come here because you weren’t feeling well. The door was ajar so I came in. As soon as I stepped in, someone drugged me. When I woke up, we’re both lying on the bed naked. Moreover, Mark and Aery were here as well… I don’t know if anything actually happened…”Will blanched immediately. He flipped the

    When they arrived at the hospital, Mark communicated with the doctor regarding what tests Arianne would take. She only had to obediently cooperate. She was immensely nervous when she was in the theater. Gynecological examinations were always awkward. When the ice-cold apparatus was inserted into her, she broke out in cold sweat from the pain.After a series of tests, the doctor said emotionlessly, “It’s done.”After putting on her pants, Arianne waited for the results quietly. She involuntarily glanced toward Mark and Aery seated together on the bench outside the room, looking like a couple. However, Mark’s expression was incredibly cold.Around twenty minutes later, the doctor called Mark in. Arianne was beside them. She could feel Mark deliberately keeping a distance from her, as though disgusted by her filth.“There’s sexual intercourse within a day. There’s obvious blood flow and swelling on this part. The swelling is slightly too much.” The doctor announced the result in a profess

    Aery’s heart burned with jealousy when she saw Mark behaving in this manner. Was he mad at Arianne for what happened? “Mark, darling, haven’t you always been aware of my sister’s obscure relationship with Will? You should have anticipated that something like this would happen, after all, they did… You know, three years ago. I’ve always thought that you and my sister are incompatible. She doesn’t love you anyway and is bound to betray you. Why won’t you let go? Why are you making trouble for yourself?”Mark took a deep breath and leaned back against the car seat, “Who told you about this? Why were you, of all people, informed?”“I don’t know,” Aery quickly explained, “I wasn’t aware of this at all. I was surprised when I received the news, I even called again, but the phone was off. It doesn’t matter who told me about it, the informant wasn’t lying. You and I both saw it with our own eyes, right? Can anyone really fake this kind of thing?

    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

    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

    ‘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
