The proud and spirited Evelyn White relentlessly pursued the aloof and cold-hearted Julian Moore, eventually becoming Mrs. Moore as she had dreamed. For Julian, Evelyn, the once-proud princess, lowered her noble head. However, after their marriage, she discovered that he still kept his first love in his heart, an unforgettable shadow from his past. Evelyn became the subject of ridicule among the affluent socialites of Riverdale’s elite circles. One day, a heated argument escalated into a dramatic rooftop scene, captured by someone with ill intent and swiftly posted online, making Evelyn the target of public scorn across the city. When she regained consciousness, all memories of him were gone. Evelyn asked, “Sir, may I ask who you are?” Julian replied, “Eve, pretending to have amnesia is such a cliché. I won’t divorce you.” However, Evelyn really turned and walked away without looking back. Three years later. A little girl with delicate features accidentally fell into Julian’s arms. Seeing the familiar figure that haunted his dreams, Julian instinctively blurted out, “Eve, this is... our child?” Evelyn, holding the arm of a charming and elegant man beside her, smiled and said, “Mr. Moore, let me introduce you—this is the father of my child!”
View MoreShe looked around in terror at the pitch-black road.She was too scared to notice earlier, but now she realized Julian had driven them onto a winding mountain road. There wasn’t a soul in sight for miles in either direction.Julian remained unmoved. “Get out.”Chloe’s sobs grew louder. “Julian, I won’t! If you’re angry, you can yell at me, hit me if you want, but why bring me here just to scare me? Please—”She reached for him, trying to tug at his arm, pleading desperately.Julian shoved her away roughly. She almost slammed into the car window, letting out a muffled gasp of pain, but despite the blow, she still clung to him, refusing to let go.Without another word, Julian stepped out of the car, walked around, and yanked open the passenger door.His face was grim as he grabbed Chloe and dragged her out of the car.Her hair fell loose as she collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.“Julian, I was wrong! I was wrong! I won’t do it again. Please, just let this go.”She begged
As they walked away, their figures looked somewhat pathetic.Edmund shook his head. “Sigh, he really can’t afford to lose.”Robert let out a sigh. “That woman of Julian’s is too restless.”Miles turned to the two elders and said, “Mr. Moore is actually quite capable, but when it comes to relationships, he seems to lack some judgment.”Edmund chuckled. “If he can’t even see through something this simple, how can anyone expect him to handle something bigger?”Robert nodded. “I used to think Julian was bold and ambitious, but now it seems he still lacks some depth.”The two men exchanged a look and shook their heads at the same time.Something stirred in me, and I turned to look at Miles.His expression remained neutral. He was still speaking in Julian’s defense, but…After what had just happened, Julian’s long-standing reputation in the business world was bound to take a hit.Who was the smartest person here?Suddenly, I felt like Miles was more of a silent hunter, quietly waiting for h
Julian let out a cold snort. "You were always jealous of her—spreading rumors, threatening her. You’ve done plenty of terrible things. This is just another one of your usual tricks."I was completely numb to his accusations by now.Turning to the attendants, I said calmly, "Go check the security footage. That should clear everything up."At those words, Julian’s expression shifted slightly, and Chloe’s face paled with obvious guilt.Immediately, she threw herself into Julian’s arms. "Julian, just let it go, okay? It’s just a small cut. Maybe Miss White didn’t mean to do it. She probably just slipped and accidentally hurt me."She turned to me, her voice soft and pitiful. "Right, Miss White?"I remained expressionless. "That’s not for me to say. After all, Mr. Moore already decided I was guilty before seeing any proof."Chloe quickly latched onto Julian again. "Julian, there are so many important people here tonight. My injury isn’t worth making a big deal over. Really, it was my own
The lounge was elegantly arranged, offering floral arrangement stations, live acoustic performances, and even a mahjong area, clearly designed for high-profile female guests.Familiar with these types of settings, I quietly selected a floral arrangement station and began assembling a bouquet, focusing on the delicate balance of colors and textures.Before long, Chloe sauntered over gracefully.Her cheeks were flushed, likely from the alcohol she had consumed during dinner.I glanced at her briefly but continued with my arrangement.She sat beside me, watching with a half-smile, studying me for a long moment.I finally asked, "Do you need something?"Chloe let out a soft laugh. "Miss White, I admit, I underestimated you."Snipping the stem of a flower, I replied indifferently, "Miss Clarke, if you have something to say, just say it."She exhaled and leaned in slightly. "One hundred million. I’ll convince Julian to give it to you. In exchange, you sign the divorce agreement amicably."I
Oh, so Julian thought I was bullying Chloe again.But then why hadn’t he been willing to publicly claim her just moments ago?Maybe my head still wasn’t fully right—because no matter how I looked at it, I couldn’t understand what went on in these men’s minds.After failing to get a reaction from me, Chloe immediately turned her attention to Miles.Her voice remained soft and delicate, the kind that would stir pity in any normal man.That was Chloe’s talent—shameless persistence and the ability to play the victim at any given moment.I heard her say, "Mr. Wynn, I’ve admired you for a long time. I never expected you to be even more handsome and charismatic in person than the rumors suggest."Miles responded with a simple, indifferent "Mm."Not discouraged, Chloe continued, "Mr. Wynn, you’ve accomplished so much at such a young age. I truly envy Miss White… She always seems to have a way of finding men like you."I nearly choked on my tea.Barely restraining my disgust, I lowered my eyes.
Everyone was speechless.The room fell into a brief silence. Julian's expression darkened even further, while Chloe's wasn't much better. I tugged lightly at Miles' sleeve. He glanced at me with a smile. "Now that I've said my piece, shall we take our seats?" With that, he led me to the table. Julian and Chloe remained standing, frozen in place. He came here expecting one thing but ended up completely humiliated instead. From the way his jaw clenched, I could tell he was debating whether to turn around and leave. But nearly everyone at this table was a heavyweight in the city’s business world. If he left now, it would undoubtedly damage his reputation. In the end, he forced himself to take a seat, his face as dark as ever, with Chloe following beside him. I caught the look she gave me—complicated, layered with jealousy, resentment, and deep-seated bitterness. Lowering my gaze, I chose to ignore the two of them entirely. I still didn’t fully understand why Miles
"The injustice she suffered in the past was my fault. From now on, she is my girlfriend, and one day, she will be Mrs. Wynn."A tremor ran through my entire body, and my eyes burned with unshed tears.I fought to hold them back, but my vision still blurred with moisture.I couldn’t see the expressions of those around me, nor did I want to look at Julian’s darkened face.All I knew was that Miles was standing up for me.He was reclaiming my name and defending me in front of everyone.He was using his status, his very name, to erase the disgrace of my past.He was pulling me out of the mud.Julian looked as though he wanted to lash out, but Chloe tugged at his arm before he could speak.With a soft, honeyed voice, she smiled. "Congratulations, Mr. Wynn! And to you as well, Miss White!"There was a barely perceptible flicker of jealousy and envy behind her delicate expression.She turned to Julian, who stood there fuming, and said sweetly, "Julian, look at Mr. Wynn, he’s so bold in pursui
I rose from the bench and walked toward Miles. My palms were damp, my heart clenched with tension, but in this setting, I knew one thing for certain—I could not lose my composure. If I faltered, it wouldn’t just be my own dignity at stake; it would reflect poorly on Miles as well. The moment Julian entered, Miles acknowledged him with a casual lift of his wine glass, a faint, unreadable smile playing on his lips. Then, he turned to me and called softly, "Eve, come here." Julian’s expression instantly darkened. His disbelief was plain as he turned his sharp gaze on me. But by then, I had already reached Miles' side. Without hesitation, Miles had me take his arm, his expression calm yet filled with amusement as he glanced at Julian, who was clearly reeling. He spoke in an easy, reassuring tone. "Eve, don’t worry." I forced down the unease in my chest and instinctively nodded. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t shaken. But deep down, I trusted Miles. I knew he was
Inside a spacious and elegantly decorated private dining room, I immediately recognized a few familiar faces. I had seen these people on TV before! My mind short-circuited again, struggling to process the moment. Fortunately, I still remembered Miles’ instructions. Forcing an awkward smile, I clung tightly to his arm. The people at the table turned toward us, all smiling with interest. Someone teased, "Well, well, this is the first time I’ve ever seen young Miles bring a date. Come here, let me take a look at you properly." The man speaking, Edmund Stanton, was dressed in a sharp, well-tailored three-piece suit, clearly custom-made. Miles led me forward with effortless composure and greeted him respectfully. "Good evening, Mr. Stanton. This is my girlfriend, Evelyn White." For a moment, the entire room fell into complete silence. Even the server pouring tea paused, glancing over in shock. As for me, I had gone completely stiff, unsure of where to put my hands or fee
“Julian, let me go! It hurts!” “Would you regret it if I died?!” “Julian, don’t leave with Chloe. I love you…” I jolted awake, gasping for air like a fish stranded on dry land. My chest heaved uncontrollably, and my throat felt like it was being torn apart. Opening my eyes with great effort, I was met with the blinding glare of fluorescent lights overhead. The rhythmic beeping of machines nearby further confirmed my suspicion that I was in a hospital room. “She is awake. The doctor said it’s just a head injury and emotional shock. Nothing serious.” A low voice spoke on the phone beside my bed. I slowly pieced together the situation. So, I was sick? A cold, clear voice came through the phone speaker. “As long as it’s nothing serious. I have a video conference to attend, so I won’t be coming over.” The person holding the phone sighed, turned around, and was startled to see me awake. “Mrs. Moore, you’re awake?” I opened my mouth, about to ask a question, but the woman in...
