Amos reacted quickly. Before Lionel could approach, he strode across the terrace and slipped back into the ballroom, blending into the crowd.

"What are you doing out here alone?" Lionel repeated, glancing toward where Amos had disappeared. The dim light on the terrace only allowed him to catch a vague shadow. His eyes flickered before they settled on Chloe, who was huddled in the corner.

When Lionel had entered the ballroom earlier, he had looked everywhere but couldn't find Chloe. He assumed she'd grown impatient and gone home.

Only after calling the house did he realize she hadn't returned. After searching again, he found her hiding on the terrace.

She had complained before about not being acknowledged publicly, and now she was hiding herself—what was she trying to do?

Chloe's heart raced as she struggled to suppress her panic. She never expected Lionel to come looking for her here.

She cast a nervous glance toward the direction Amos had left, confirming there was nothing there befo

    The ballroom, lively just moments before, fell silent as a dazzling couple made their entrance.The men's gazes were drawn to Chloe, captivated by her graceful figure, her alluring, pale neck, and her enchanting curves. Blood rushed through their veins as they wondered who this stunning woman was. She didn't seem to belong to the world of business elites. Was she some sort of ethereal beauty, descended from the heavens? She had a crystal-like purity, so fragile and untouchable, yet they couldn't help but long to reach out.The women, on the other hand, couldn't tear their eyes away, tracking Chloe's every move. They looked at Lionel with admiration and longing, but when their gaze fell on Chloe, it turned to envy and hatred. If only they could push her out of the way and take her place by Lionel's side!Lionel walked confidently with Chloe at his side, tightening his grip around her waist every time they passed someone.His icy stare seemed to send a message to everyone around them: a

    Chloe felt as though she was sitting on pins and needles.It was as if there was a tiger right beside her, its piercing gaze almost slicing through her like infrared rays, reading her very soul.Across from her, another set of eyes seemed to glance over casually, but deep down, she knew Amos was really watching her.Her heart pounded with anxiety. She was terrified that Lionel would notice something off between her and Amos.The nervousness made her breathing rapid, and her stomach began to cramp. Instinctively, her hands moved to her abdomen.Lionel, always sharp as a hawk, noticed Chloe's distraction. Her absent-mindedness had not escaped his attention from the moment they arrived.Lowering his head, he leaned closer to whisper in her ear, "Are you feeling unwell again?"What is she thinking about? He wondered, frowning slightly."No," Chloe forced a smile, trying to maintain her composure.Lionel said nothing further. He merely placed some dessert on her plate and gently urged, "Ea

    In the restroom.Chloe stared at her flushed face in the mirror, splashing cold water on herself as hard as she could. The icy shock cleared her mind, snapping her out of her daze.What had she just done?She slapped her face harder, trying to forget, regretting it so deeply that she wished she could strangle herself.Suddenly, a face identical to hers appeared in the mirror.Wearing the same white evening gown, with the same slender figure—there were now two identical reflections staring back at her.Chloe thought she was seeing things. She splashed more water on her face and blinked twice, but the double image didn't disappear.Her mind froze, and in that instant, the alcohol completely wore off.So, what she'd seen earlier wasn't a hallucination after all!Flora! She actually dared to show up!Chloe's face paled instantly, her heart filled with dread."It's me. You're not imagining things," said the reflection behind Chloe. Flora's voice slithered into her ears like a ghostly whisp

    Chloe slapped Flora's hands away, wiping the wetness from her eyes. "Flora, it was your plan that backfired! You can't blame anyone else for your own mistakes!"Despite Flora's tragic experience, Chloe knew there was no one to blame but fate."I don't care! It's all your fault!" Flora screamed, her voice shrill with rage. How could it not be Chloe's fault? If Chloe hadn't gotten to Lionel first, Flora wouldn't have ended up like this. If it wasn't Chloe's fault, then whose was it?Chloe turned and washed her face again. She didn't want to argue with Flora anymore—it was pointless.She had been gone too long. Lionel was probably furious by now.But Flora wasn't about to let her walk away. She grabbed Chloe, her expression growing even more maniacal."Chloe, remember, the five million is gone. If you have any conscience left, if you don't want Mom and Beck to end up homeless, you better find more money, fast. Oh, and I forgot to mention—your precious man, the one who said he loved you?

    Lionel's sharp gaze swept across the room, but Flora pretended not to notice. She picked up her knife and fork, cutting into her steak while obediently eating all the dishes Lionel placed before her.To her surprise, the food actually suited her palate. She ate with gusto, masking her inner anxiety and avoiding the cold, piercing look Lionel was giving her, as if he were about to tear her apart.What's with her? She had just said she wasn't hungry, yet now she's devouring everything like a wolf.Lionel's eyes remained fixed on the woman beside him, something nagging at him. Something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. His dark, brooding gaze scanned her from head to toe, cold and unreadable.It was still her face, still the same woman. She ate everything he gave her without protest, obedient as ever.How absurd. He actually found himself thinking she seemed like a different person. Could it be that he had gotten so used to her defiance that her sudden compliance felt

    Lionel kicked the door open forcefully.She was standing at the sink, splashing water onto her face.Lionel paused, surprised. She had moved quickly. He was sure he had seen her heading towards the exit, but in the blink of an eye, she was here.Had he seen it wrong?As the door flew open with a bang, Chloe, mid-splash, saw Lionel's dark expression through the mirror.Had Flora been discovered?That realization hit Chloe like a bolt of lightning. Her pupils dilated, panic filled her eyes, and her entire body began to tremble uncontrollably. Her heart twisted painfully in her chest, as if all the air had been sucked out of her lungs. She felt like she was suffocating, her face drained of color, pale as paper.Her legs gave way beneath her, and she swayed, about to collapse.Lionel reacted quickly, wrapping an arm around her slender waist.He took in her bloodless face, her eyes wide with fear, and her delicate, icy-cold fingers in his hand. She looked terrified, trembling even in his e

    "No... don't... let her go! Don't hurt her! You animals..." Chloe screamed desperately, watching a group of men tear at Flora's clothes.She cried out in anguish, trying to reach Flora, to pull the men off her, but her limbs were weak, powerless. All she could do was watch helplessly as those beasts did as they pleased.Suddenly, someone began to rip Chloe's own clothes. Rip! The sound of fabric tearing filled the air, and she felt the cold air hit her exposed skin. She wrapped her arms around herself, kicking and hitting in a frenzy."Get away! Get away! Please... please, let me go..." She struggled and screamed. Lionel grabbed her and tossed her onto the bed like a ragdoll.Then came the pain—sharp and unmistakable—her face twisted in agony."Dad... Dad... save me..." Chloe cried out, and then, as if pleading for forgiveness, she sobbed, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Dad... I couldn't protect her...""Hey, wake up..."Lionel woke up, startled by Chloe's cries and flailing limbs. He turne

    Grace shot a sharp glance at Mandy.She had always known that this scheming bitch wasn't to be trusted. Mandy shrank back under Grace's dagger-like gaze, but compared to Lionel's cold stare, Grace's look was far less terrifying.Working here came with benefits—far better pay than anywhere else, generous bonuses at the end of the year, and countless perks.Grace had always run the household, and Lionel rarely interfered. But today, if Mandy spoke up, she'd surely face backlash from the others. Grace might even see to it that she was kicked out, and there went her well-paying job.However, Mandy couldn't help but think of how pitiful madam of the house truly was. No matter what, she had to say something, even if it meant risking her job.“Sir, it's Grace. She wouldn't let us call madam down for meals. She said madam had no right to be our mistress, that she only married you because she crawled into your bed.” Mandy quickly finished, bracing for Lionel's fury.The tension in the room was

    "What's wrong?" Florence, sitting nearby, noticed Chloe clutching her stomach and quickly stood up, alarmed. "Your stomach still hurts? I'll call the doctor right now." She turned, about to rush out of the room."It's fine! It doesn't hurt anymore," Chloe called out, stopping Florence in her tracks."Really?" Florence asked, skepticism written all over her face."Really. I'm fine now!" Chloe reassured her repeatedly, and only then did Florence hesitate and sit back down.Chloe's heart warmed a little more toward Florence. Despite her sharp tongue and haughty demeanor, Florence's actions often spoke otherwise. Her arrogance was merely a mask to hide her true self.No matter how harsh her words or domineering her tone, at crucial moments, her kindness would shine through."Florence, you should go back. It's boring here, and I'm really okay now. It's just menstrual cramps. I'll probably be discharged this afternoon.""Alright! I'm leaving then. Take care and call me if you need anything,

    "You're showing signs of a threatened miscarriage, and there's already some bleeding!" The middle-aged female doctor spoke with a tone of reproach. "Sigh, you have to be extremely careful during the first three months.""Ah..." Chloe's mind went blank, like a bomb had gone off in her head. "Th-Threatened miscarriage?" She repeated the doctor's words in a daze, completely unable to process what was happening. Her expression was blank, as if she had just been struck by lightning."Yes. Don't you know you're pregnant?" The doctor looked at her with surprise."Wait, you mean I'm...pregnant?" Chloe stammered, the news hitting her like a tidal wave. "How is that possible?" she murmured, almost to herself.She and Lionel had always used contraception. Even on the rare occasions they didn't have time to use protection, she had taken emergency contraceptives afterward. Where did things go wrong? She had always been so meticulous about this!Seeing Chloe still in shock, the middle-aged doctor v

    When Chloe woke up, it was already late. Fortunately, as the director of the Art Center, her absence could easily be covered by someone else.After tidying herself up, she stepped out of the bedroom to find Florence sitting on the couch in the living room, casually munching on an apple.Seeing Chloe emerge, Florence picked up a box beside her and handed it over. "Here, for you.""What's this?" Chloe took the box, immediately noticing its luxurious design. Clearly, it wasn't an ordinary item. She recognized the English brand name on the box—a high-end fashion label she'd only ever heard about from Cynthia. Cynthia had once mentioned how outrageously expensive it was."This...probably doesn't suit me. You should keep it," Chloe said, pushing the box back toward Florence. She didn't feel comfortable accepting something so extravagant without earning it."Tch! Don't overthink it. It's not like I bought it specifically for you," Florence scoffed, still chewing on her apple. "It was on sale

    Lionel looked up to see Chloe standing in her nightwear, her figure still glistening faintly from a recent shower. She looked like a blooming flower adorned with morning dew, exuding a soft, intoxicating fragrance that captivated him completely."Why are you here? If you're tired, you should go to bed early," Lionel said tenderly, his long arm already pulling Chloe onto his lap.Breathing in her delicate scent, his lips brushed against her skin, teasing her here and nibbling there."Stop it! Don't you have work to do?" Chloe said, her neck instinctively shrinking as Lionel's playful gestures sent shivers down her spine, leaving her both ticklish and covered in goosebumps."Who told you to smell so good?" Lionel teased, lifting her chin. His intense gaze fixed on her rosy lips, and he couldn't resist lowering his head to capture them in a passionate kiss.Whenever Chloe was near, Lionel seemed unable to control himself. It was as if he was addicted to her, his once-prized self-control

    Joanna stared at Lionel's face—the face she had dreamed about countless times. Her eyes reddened as she whispered, "Back then, I left because I was angry with you. Nothing ever happened between me and Heather! I only involved him to make you jealous and staged that scene to provoke you..."Lionel remained expressionless, as if Joanna's words had nothing to do with him.When no further explanation came, Lionel's lips twitched slightly. "Are you done? You can leave now."The cold detachment in his tone made it clear that to him, she was nothing more than a stranger."Lion! How can you treat me like this?"Joanna's voice trembled, her pretty face on the verge of tears. She impulsively reached out to grab Lionel's hand. "I'm your fiancée, yet you look at me like I'm nobody. Even if you hate me, at least we grew up together as family. How can you act like I'm invisible? Do you know why I left three years ago? It was because you were too cold

    "Didn't you already become someone else's 'dad'?" Chloe countered with a question instead of answering. Sometimes, Lionel's jealousy was just too much for her."Do you think that's what I wanted?!" Lionel spat out coldly, his tone icy. "It seems you're quite special to them. If I hadn't come to pick you up today, were you really planning to go back with him and play stepmother?""Lionel, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chloe's anger flared. Lionel's mild jealousy she could chalk up to him caring about her, but this—this wasn't jealousy. It was outright humiliation! "Do you really think I'm that kind of shallow woman?"Her face darkened as she yelled at Barton, "Stop the car. I want to get out!"Barton froze but didn't stop the car, pretending he hadn't heard her.Seeing Chloe's flushed face and the moisture welling in her eyes, Lionel felt a pang in his chest. He suddenly realized he might have gone too far.His grip loosened, an

    As Chloe left the art center with Lisa at the end of the workday, they lingered at the entrance for a moment before Marcus arrived."Chloe, thank you so much…" Marcus said warmly as he stepped out of his car, his gratitude evident in his smile."It was nothing," Chloe replied, her lips curving into a faint smile. She couldn't help but take a moment to observe Marcus. Despite the time that had passed, he was still the same man she once knew—handsome, charming, and exuding an aura that made him an ideal partner in the eyes of many women.Yet, behind that polished exterior lay a man who had endured the pain of losing his beloved wife at such a young age. It took extraordinary strength to bury that grief and carry on with his responsibilities."I truly don't know how to thank you," Marcus said, his voice touched with emotion."There's no need," Chloe replied, waving her hands dismissively.

    Before Chloe found herself in Orchard Village, Flora had already shown signs of mental instability. Due to Chloe's disappearance and Donna's failure to secure a reputable hospital in time, Flora was admitted to a psychiatric institution.That afternoon, Chloe and Donna visited Flora at the hospital. Flora looked significantly thinner and was still in the same state as before—vacant, with a silly grin on her face.Clutching a pillow tightly, she repeatedly called it "baby." When she saw Chloe, her gaze turned dark and menacing. Pointing a trembling finger at Chloe, she lunged forward, screaming, "You evil woman! You killed my child! I'll strangle you!"Several doctors rushed in and restrained her just in time, preventing her nails from scratching Chloe's face.Did Flora still recognize her?Chloe studied Flora's pale face as the doctors held her down.
