Lionel glanced out through the dining room's floor-to-ceiling window as the household staff began to search the grounds. His expression darkened, but he remained seated.

Grace noticed the displeasure brewing on her Master's face, misinterpreting it as irritation at the disturbance. She hurried outside to scold the servants.

After about ten minutes, Mandy, unable to wait any longer, rushed directly into the dining room to report to Lionel.

"Master, Madam is gone! We searched both the front and back gardens, but she's nowhere to be found. Her personal bag is missing too! She must have left... What if something happened to her?"

As Mandy's voice grew increasingly anxious, her eyes welled with tears, and she choked up.

Lionel's face grew darker in response, his silence thickening the air.

But Moira, sitting nearby, had had enough.

"Why all the fuss?" she snapped at Mandy. "It's just some...woman who went missing. She's not dead! Cry when she's actually gone for good."

Mandy cast a resentf

    Three days had passed, and it was as if Chloe had suddenly vanished without a trace.Lionel's expression grew darker by the hour, his brows furrowed tightly.He hadn't returned home in three days, often dozing off at his desk when he was exhausted, and at night, he would just find a bar to drown his sorrows, spending the night on the couch in a drunken stupor.His appearance had changed drastically; he was unshaven, his hair was a tangled mess, and he wore the same clothes day after day, reeking of alcohol from a distance. His face was a terrifying shade of ashen gray.At first, he had resolved that once he found that woman, he would confine her and punish her severely, making sure she never dared to run away again.But as time went on, Chloe's absence only deepened his fear. What if something had happened to her?The thought sent him into a frenzy, but his pride prevented him from confiding in anyone.He spent hours combing through news reports for any information about her, yet foun

    Geoffrey couldn't understand how despicable Lionel had to be to make this woman want to hide from him! He suppressed the urge to confront Lionel and pulled Chloe into a corner.Fortunately, there were many people around, and Lionel didn't seem to notice them as he moved away."Okay," Geoffrey said, patting Chloe's back.Chloe quickly slipped out of Geoffrey's embrace and glanced back in the direction of Lionel, relieved to see that he was indeed gone.She didn't know why, but the moment she spotted Lionel, her instinct was to hide.

    At this moment, Eamonn's handsome face was flushed from the alcohol. He had a woman on each side of him. One woman had her arm draped over his shoulder, while the other was teasingly pinching his thigh.Eamonn held his drink high, a wide grin on his face, playfully touching the woman on his left and kissing the one on his right."Stop it..." The woman on the left blushed and pressed herself against Eamonn's chest.The woman on the right seemed equally determined, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him in for a kiss. With her low-cut top, Eamonn could barely keep his eyes off her fair skin!What a beast!I still remember that night when Eamonn publicly confessed his love for Cynthia, jokingly pretending to confess to Chloe, who was taken aback. He claimed he had loved Cynthia for a long time, since college.If he loved her so much, why did he cast her aside like yesterday's trash?What does love mean to a man? So casually spoken, it dazzles women into a stupor, only for them

    "What? Furious that I've exposed your filthy soul?" Eamonn sneered, wiping his mouth."Once, you were noble and elegant, almost ethereal, captivating, alluring, cold and proud. Every man's heart raced for you. And now? Look at yourself. Do you still think you're so pure?"Eamonn laughed disdainfully, his mocking gaze fixed on Chloe.Chloe hadn't expected this. She'd come to confront him, yet here she was, facing humiliation instead. Fine, she thought, she was already branded a disgraceful woman in his eyes. His words barely stung her anymore. She steeled herself, glaring at him, her voice colder than before."Don't change the subject. You betrayed Cynthia. She's carrying your child, yet you still treat her like this!"Eamonn rose and leaned close to her, his tone dark and sinister. "Want to know why? It's because she's an IDIOT! She really thought I loved her. She actually believed that I was going to confess to HER that day. Tell me, Chloe, who do you think I wanted to confess to tha

    Without a moment's hesitation, Chloe charged forward."LET HER GO, YOU BASTARD!"She hadn't expected someone to rush in from behind. The man holding Florence was forcefully pulled away by Chloe, who quickly brought Florence to her side for protection."It's you..." Florence recognized Chloe, her fear evident as she backed away, clutching Chloe's arm tightly, her lips trembling as she shouted, "Hurry, get them away, get them away...""Damn it, you filthy bitch, you think you can meddle? No need for us to fight now; there's enough for both of us." The two men, reeking of alcohol, staggered slightly as the one Chloe had yanked away turned back, a sleazy grin on his face, his eyes glinting with predatory intent as he blocked Chloe and Florence."Get lost! If you know what's good for you, you'll back off and save yourselves. Otherwise, when her brother arrives, none of you will be walking away! Her brother is Lionel Williams."Chloe was guiding F

    "Who... who is he? Why is he so fierce?"Seeing the man's intimidating demeanor, Florence shielded Chloe, looking displeased."It was just a misunderstanding."Chloe knew that Geoffrey genuinely cared for her, and recognizing his anger, she didn't want to argue. She lowered her head and explained, then pulled Florence forward. "Florence, this is Geoffrey. Thank him quickly."Florence blinked, her steps a bit unsteady as she circled Geoffrey. "Geoffrey? Who's that?" She raised her hands and tugged at Geoffrey's stern face. "I've never heard of you before. You're so fierce! If you dare to scold me, you must be looking for trouble. Tomorrow, I'll have my brother deal with you."Patting Geoffrey's face, Florence backed Chloe up, which only made him angrier.He swatted her hand away. "Who do you think you are, slapping my face? Do you want me to toss you into the sea to feed the sharks? Ungrateful little brat."Uh—Chloe facep

    Early the next morning, Florence rolled over several times and suddenly bumped into something soft.Startled, she shot up and found herself face-to-face with Chloe. Annoyed, she yelled, "What are you doing in my bed?!"Chloe rubbed her temples, exasperated.Florence was so restless during the night that she had barely gotten any sleep, getting hit in the face and kicked in the stomach multiple times. Now, she had the nerve to shout at her!"Lady! Have you forgotten your savior now that you're sober? AND this is not even YOUR bed!" Yawning and stretching her sore arms, Chloe got out of bed.Florence blinked her big innocent eyes, piecing together the hazy memories of last night. "Uh... Fine."In their family, saying thank you was a rare occurrence, so this acknowledgment was as good as it got from Florence.Chloe understood her family's nature and didn't mind.She said casually, "Get up, wash up, and head home.

    For the sake of her child, she didn't want to leave. But… she couldn't let her child be born a bastard, facing the criticism and judgment that came with such a status. She wouldn't let her child live with such a shameful identity. She had to take her child and leave his life behind.Lionel felt a sharp pain in his chest. This time, he had really hurt her."No! I won't agree to this!" He growled fiercely, his cold lips trembling slightly."Heh…" Chloe let out a bitter laugh. "Lionel, even now, you still say no? What right do you have to say that? Will your future wife allow my existence? Even if she does, I won't shamelessly cling to you here. I won't share a man with another woman. Let's part on good terms. You marry Joanna, and I'll find a man who wants only me and get married. Let's wish each other well!"On the surface, her smile was small, but inside, her heart felt like it had been pierced open, bleeding profusely.At this point, Lionel still wanted to command her so arrogantly?

    The gaze of both men turned sharply toward Chloe, but they could only see the cold, distant silhouette of her back.Hearing Chloe's hoarse voice, both men seemed frozen, as if struck by lightning. They were momentarily immobilized, like they had been enchanted. By the time they snapped out of it, Chloe had already walked several meters away."Chloe…" Geoffrey quickly turned and chased after her.Lionel's face darkened, his long legs making it easy to overtake Geoffrey, whose injured leg slowed him down. In just a couple of steps, Lionel was already right behind Chloe.Without a word, Lionel reached out and pulled Chloe into his arms."Let go! Lionel, I've become a joke. Are you trying to make it impossible for me to live here anymore?" Chloe said coldly, her eyes never meeting Lionel's. She suppressed the pain in her heart and spoke with an icy detachment."Chloe, please don't be angry. It will hurt you. I can't bear to see you suffer like this. I want to live with you, I want to be w

    Chloe instinctively pulled her hand away and reached out to Geoffrey. "Geoffrey, I want to marry you. Will you marry me?""Ah?" Geoffrey was taken aback, but as soon as he caught the murderous look in Lionel's eyes, he smirked. "I've been waiting for this." He grabbed Chloe's hand, pulling her close to him."Chloe..." Lionel's hand reached out to grab air, his heart aching with a sharp pain. "Come home with me. I'll explain everything."Chloe acted as if nothing was wrong, forcing a faint smile. "No need. There's nothing for you to explain. A woman like me doesn't deserve your respect."Turning her head, she looked away. Though her heart ached painfully, her blood rushed, and she longed to throw herself into his arms, to tell him everything—her fears, her sadness, and that they were having a child. But she couldn't. He was already engaged to another woman.Even though she was of low status, she would never share a man with another woman!She clenched her fist, forcing back the bittern

    After receiving Lionel's call, Grace deliberately walked over to Chloe's room and listened carefully. There was no sound coming from inside.Hmph, she's really able to sleep through everything!Grace curled her lips into a mocking smile, feeling quite pleased with herself.She went downstairs to direct the servants on their tasks.By the time daylight broke and breakfast was ready, Chloe still hadn't come downstairs. Grace found herself looking back at the stairs over and over, but there was still no sign of her.Eventually, feeling something was off, Grace walked to Chloe's door, knocked, and called out, "Madam, breakfast is ready. If you don't come out soon, it will get cold."Still, silence.She raised her voice and called again, "Madam, Master will be home soon."No response. Could something have happened?Thinking this, Grace lost her composure. She nervously twisted the door handle, opening the door and quickly stepping inside. But the room was empty.Her heart sank.Grace's fac

    "Geoffrey, take me to my mom's." Chloe finally looked at Geoffrey for the first time.Since getting into Geoffrey's car, she had been lost in her thoughts, completely unaware of Geoffrey's gaze as he scrutinized her."Did you two argue?" Geoffrey's voice was low and hoarse, filled with a deep, painful concern as he looked at Chloe.Seeing the redness around her eyes made his heart ache, as if thousands of needles were running through his veins, causing him sharp, excruciating pain."No." Chloe took a deep breath and answered calmly."Don't lie to me. Chloe, you don't lie." Geoffrey grabbed Chloe's hand and said, "I've told you before, Lionel isn't the best choice for you. His background is too complicated, he's really not right for you. Chloe, come with me. I promise I'll marry you immediately, and you won't suffer one bit."A passionate man, a passionate gaze, and passionate words, but Chloe's heart remained unmoved.After her heart was broken by the past, giving it to Lionel had bec

    AstralisThe Williams estate remained brightly lit through the night.As the last guests departed, the household staff moved efficiently, tidying up the courtyard and clearing away the remnants of the celebration.Earl, filled with joy and having indulged in a few too many drinks, had retired early for the evening.Only his immediate family remained in the grand hall—his sons, daughters, and grandchildren all gathered together."Lion, congratulations on rekindling things with Joanna," Lewis, Lionel's cousin, remarked with a grin.Lionel shot him a frosty glare. "Thank you," he replied curtly, rising from his seat. He turned to address the elders. "I'm feeling a bit tired. If you'll excuse me, I'll head to my room now.""Go get some rest. It's been a long day for you!"His aunt Hannah forced a smile and waved dismissively, hiding her envy behind a facade of politeness. Beneath her outward cheer, her heart burned with jealousy. Earl was clearly playing favorites again. Even though Joann

    Just as she sat up in bed, she heard footsteps outside the door. Her heart leaped with excitement. She jumped out of bed, rushed to the door, and flung it open, calling out, "Lion—" But the person standing before her was Grace."Madam, it's me. The Master won't be coming home tonight." Grace stepped inside, carefully balancing a tray of food, a bright smile plastered on her face as if something delightful had happened. "Before he left, he made it clear that I must take good care of you. I wouldn't dare neglect his orders. I saw you were asleep during dinner and didn't want to disturb you, but I figured you'd be awake by now, so I brought your meal upstairs.""Thank you," Chloe murmured, disappointment flashing across her face as she followed Grace back inside.She sat down to eat, but every bite felt like a lump in her throat. The food refused to go down smoothly. She glanced at her flat belly, clenched her teeth, and forced herself to eat a bit more before giving up entirely.When Gr

    Joanna's face flushed with a hint of redness. She glanced at Lionel, who was not far away, her eyes flashing with a mischievous, almost mocking glint. She said, "Lion has always been great, and... I'm willing to marry him!""Good! Good!" The guests erupted in applause and cheers.The atmosphere in the room reached its peak, with everyone smiling and congratulating Earl and Samuel.Earl and Samuel, unable to hide their joy, raised their glasses to toast to their friends and relatives, their eyes moist with emotion.Both families were prominent in the business world, and this union was a powerful alliance.

    "You, I...fine, it's my fault. I was wrong. Now that things have come to this point, we must take responsibility for what needs to be handled. An important guest is arriving today. Get yourselves ready and come out quickly. They might already be on their way."Knowing that if he softened his tone, the young man would only grow more defiant, Earl—proud as he had been all his life—was ultimately forced to bow his head before his grandson."Ha…" Lionel let out a cold laugh. "Responsibility? If anyone has to take responsibility, it's you. Every consequence of this mess stems from your decisions. What does any of it have to do with me?""You—you—what nonsense are you spouting?" Earl bristled, his anger making his mustache quiver. "Oh, I see. This must be because of that woman!
