She was about to scream when she heard the door lock, but a large hand covered her mouth. She dropped her phone on the ground. At this moment, she was frozen in fear. The lights were off so she could not see the man’s face. All she knew was there had been too many stories of break-ins in the news, and none of them ended well. She remembered that she did not have a lot of money on her. She had a few thousand credits on her credit card but did not want to hand it over. Would the intruder fly into a rage and kill her if she refused to give him money?

The man flung her toward the living room couch. She could smell the heavy stench of alcohol on his body. She fearfully clutched the back of the couch to steady herself and seized the opportunity to bite the man’s arm. The pain forced him to release her mouth, and she cried out, “I don’t have any money! Let me go! I can give you a card number, and I’ll borrow some money tomorrow and send the money to you. Don’t kill me!”

    She was certainly not going to spend the night with an unreasonable drunk. Who knew if he would try something again! After mulling over it for a moment, she called Brian. “Pick him up right now, or I’ll throw him out on the streets. If anyone gets a picture of that, the Tremonts will be humiliated.”Then, she ended the call immediately and crept closer to check on Mark. At least, he was wearing underwear. That way, Brian would not feel awkward or embarrassed when he arrived.Soon after, she heard a knock on her door. She glared at Brian who was standing at the doorway and grimly said, “Next time, don’t let him out of your sight when he’s drunk.”Brian looked slightly embarrassed. He lowered his head and explained, “It’s not like I can control where Mr. Tremont goes…”He was right. Arianne did not trouble Brian too much and stood at the door, waiting for him to carry the unconscious Mark away. She waited until they had walked away before closing the door.She returned to her room a

    Helen still had the appearance of a high-flying career woman. She was always suitably dressed for any occasion. She looked capable from head to toe and maintained her composure very well. There were no visible cracks on her facade, and it was tough to read her emotions. For this reason, people did not dare to underestimate her. She crossed her hands on the table and paused for a moment before she said, “I’m very sorry for everything Aery and Jean have done to you. I don’t think I handled it very well…”“It doesn’t matter,” Arianne calmly replied, “They haven’t been bothering me for a while anyway. It’s been quite peaceful lately, but if I ever get the chance, I’ll make them pay. Is that why you’re here?”Helen’s eyes darted around briefly before she said, “They’re in jail now. One is sentenced to five years, and the other to one year. I just found out not too long ago. Mark did this. I’m sure you’re unaware?”Arianne was shocked, but she did not show it. At the same time, she was gr

    After some thought, she pulled out her phone and sent a message to Mark. “Helen came to see me. I know you sent Aery and Jean to jail. There was no need to do that. I don’t want to owe you anything. From now on, my issues are none of your business. A reply soon followed. “For as long as you’re mine, your issues will always be my business. You have the nerve to send me a message instead of telling it to my face?”She turned her phone off and went straight to bed. She refused to reply to his message, and she did not have the courage to face him. She did not send him that message to tell him to let Aery and Jean off the hook. She simply wanted him to stop concerning himself with her issues. Would she ever have a clean break with him?...The capital.Tiffany had been running into walls continuously after she applied for jobs in different companies. She was getting worried. She had just stepped into the house and felt the cooling air from the air conditioner. It felt so refreshing th

    Jackson stood in his spot for a moment. He stared at her and did not respond to her at all. He put on a pair of sunglasses.Unfortunately, Tiffany was completely oblivious to his strange behavior. She walked to him and held his arm. “I’ve sent the money to you. Did you receive it? How many days do you plan on staying? I won’t be able to stay with you if you’re planning to stay for a long time. I can only for two days before I have to return for work.”Jackson pursed his lips and said coldly, “Don’t wait for me then.” After he finished speaking, he went to the ticketing booth.At this moment, Tiffany finally realized something was not right. She jogged up to him. “What’s up with you? You seem unhappy.”He paused for a moment before saying, “Does it matter if I’m happy? It doesn’t really matter as long as you’re happy.”Alarm bells immediately rang in Tiffany’s mind. “Wait a minute! What do you mean? Why does it sound like I’ve angered you? You’re a guy. Do you have to sulk like a g

    Jackson took a deep breath. “Would you like to split the hotel bill evenly with me too? I don’t need you to save money for me, why are you calculating the flight tickets with me? I have more than enough time to pick you up from your house, but I didn’t, and you’re not mad at me either. You didn’t even ask me about it. In my opinion, these things show that you don’t care at all.” He had always been the apathetic one in a relationship, it was what he was familiar with. Now that the roles were reversed, he did not know what to do. He was panicking.Tiffany’s slow-moving brain finally sped up. She finally realized he was not acting out because he was tired of her or regretted dating her. She sighed in relief. “It’s not that… I don’t care. I just don’t want to spend your money before we take things further in our relationship. I’m afraid your mother might think that I agreed to date you for your money… I know this small amount of money doesn’t matter to you, but this is my dignity. I assum

    Tiffany paused and said, “It wasn’t really a fight, it’s just… Both of us don’t see eye to eye in certain areas… Our principles are different. For example, I don’t want to spend too much of his money while we’re dating, and I don’t sulk because he can’t pick me up. He thinks it’s because I don’t care about him and that I don’t love him. However, I think it’s good for us to split things evenly in case we break up so neither of us will owe the other. Why should I sulk just because he can’t pick me up? Wouldn’t that be unreasonable of me if he was busy? That’s why it turned out this way… It’s such a small issue, but it’s a mess. It’s pretty exhausting.”This ‘mess’ was nothing to Arianne. “When two people are together, the most important thing is that they’re happy. One of you will have to compromise. If you want him to be happy, you should adapt to his ways. If he cares more for you, he’ll pander to you. It’s not a big deal. Don’t worry. Let’s have some fun. We’ve been making our lunch

    Mark did not give an immediate response. He slowly rose to his feet.Arianne’s mind was in a mess, she dearly wished that she could drag Jackson back and punch him in the face. She composed herself and calmly said, “No need. Goodbye.”Mark reached out and grabbed her wrist, “I’ll drive you.”She frowned. “No need.”“I said, I’ll drive you,” he insisted.Arianne surrendered in the end. She got into Mark’s car but sat in the backseat.The cold air in the car was a world away from the scorching heat outside. Arianne stared out the window at the buildings passing by. Her mind was blank. She could not understand why she did not hold her ground. Why did she get into his car? If she did not decide to keep Tiffany company, she would not have to eat with him.Suddenly, Mark broke the silence and said, “About that night. I’m sorry. I had too much to drink.” His tone was apathetic, and it was difficult to hear any form of sincerity from his voice. However, it was an apology at least.Aria

    She cleaned out a few cheap and simple vases and arranged the flowers in them. She needed four vases to hold all the roses. It gave the shop a touch of glamor.Tanya was green with envy. “Who’s it from? They’re so pretty, and there are so many of them. They must be expensive. Just a small bouquet would cost at least $15. These flowers are from the biggest flower shop in the city, and it’s a franchise too. It must have been expensive.”Arianne was in a much better mood, thanks to the flowers. She sniffed. “Who cares?”...Back at the hotel.Tiffany was lying on the bed, fast asleep. Jackson was next to her, fiddling his phone. He would glare at her resentfully from time to time. She had complained about needing a nap when they returned from lunch and actually went to sleep. They had not seen each other for days, and when they finally did, they had a quarrel. Was this not the best time to cultivate their relationship? How could she go to sleep at a time like this?He was losing int

    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
