Harry's eyes flashed with malice. After hearing Harry’s suggestion, Justin glanced at him briefly before shifting his gaze to Mr. Ziegler, who looked smug. “So, this is the plan after the loan was denied?” Justin thought. As the Vice President of RC Corporation, Harry had been trying to siphon off company funds through a shell company. It seemed his uncle was getting sloppy with age.Over the years, Harry's projects had become less and less profitable, while he been lending more and more money to his questionable friends. Justin had turned a blind eye, largely out of respect for his grandfather. If it weren't for that, Harry would have been removed from his position a long time ago, replaced by someone more competent.“Mr. Ziegler certainly has experience, but he’s been overseeing the traditional sectors. A project focused on developing new energy technologies is better suited to someone younger,” Justin replied calmly, his authority undeniable.Despite being publicly oppose

“The antacid is gone. Bring me a new box,” Justin said, his voice weaker than usual. He had always assumed the company kept it in stock and hadn’t given it much thought.Sam stood there awkwardly, clearly hesitant to speak.Justin frowned impatiently. “What are you waiting for? Go get it.”After a moment of deliberation, Sam finally spoke up, “Miss Emily was the one who always arranged the antacid for you.”Every time Justin was close to running out, she made sure to have more ready ahead of time. Now that he and she were no longer together, naturally, she wouldn’t be sending any more. But Sam was tactful enough not to say that part aloud.Justin froze. He hadn’t realized Emily had been quietly taking care of that for him.“I’ll go get some medicine right away,” Sam quickly offered, noticing the shift in Justin's expression.Left alone in the office, Justin’s gastric pain grew worse as frustration began to creep in. He had resolved to erase Emily from his life, to act as if she

The next morning, Emily got ready and headed out for her art class. She hailed a taxi on the street, something she hadn’t done in a while. Back when she was with Justin, she always drove one of the cars he had gifted her, but after she left, she hadn’t taken any of them. The cars and the jewelry he had given her, were all left behind at Villa One.As the taxi drove through the city, it passed the luxurious villa community where she used to live. Emily noticed a sleek black luxury car pulling out from the gates of Villa One. It was hard to miss, with its unique all-8 license plate, a rare sight in Lincourt City. She glanced at it briefly but quickly turned her attention to the scenery outside the opposite window, not wanting to linger on the past.The taxi driver, however, couldn’t help but comment. “Did you see that limited-edition luxury car that just passed by? With a license plate like that, people living in this area are definitely loaded.“These villas are worth millions!”

“Remember, ladies, always steer clear of stingy men or you’ll end up with nothing!” one of the influencers said as their gossip faded. They were trailing behind Emily at a discreet distance as they all entered the building.Emily, preoccupied with thoughts of her withdrawal from school, paid no attention to the quiet chatter behind her. The voices were soft enough that she didn’t catch any of it.In class, after one lesson had ended, the teacher called out just as the students were about to leave, “Hold on a second, everyone.”The class paused, turning back to listen.“Next week, the school will be hosting a commercial art exhibition. We’ve invited several wealthy and influential guests, and even the government has taken an interest. This is an incredible opportunity to showcase your best work and potentially launch your career. Don’t let this slip by and make sure you give it your all!” The teacher smiled brightly, clearly excited about the event.The class responded with enthusi

Hearing the noise from the next room, one of the students, who had been gossiping about Emily earlier that morning, rushed over. “Emily, are you okay?” she asked, her voice filled with concern. “Where does it hurt? I’ll call the teacher. Don’t worry!” She quickly pulled out her phone.Emily’s right side was throbbing with pain, tears streaming down her face as she lay there, feeling numb and barely able to move.The teacher arrived shortly after, clearly alarmed. “Call an ambulance, quickly!” she instructed, her voice sharp with urgency.Emily wanted to assure everyone she was fine, but as soon as she tried to speak, the pain surged again, and more tears flowed uncontrollably.When the ambulance arrived, the teacher turned to the students. “You all stay here and keep selecting your pieces for the exhibition. I’ll go with her to the hospital,” she said, her tone firm yet reassuring.At Lichfield Hospital’s emergency room, the doctor reviewed the X-rays. “There’s no fracture, just

Just then, Justin pushed the door open and entered the hospital room.Emily frowned, giving him a puzzled look, and asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”Justin glanced at her, as if looking at an idiot. “The school called, saying you got hurt.” With that, he tossed the bag in his hand onto the hospital bed.It was only then that Emily remembered. Since she had lost her memory and had no family, she had listed Justin as her emergency contact when she enrolled.She walked to the bed, picked up the bag of medicine, and muttered an awkward, “Thanks.”Justin was a bit surprised. She actually said thank you? Didn’t she act all fierce just a few days ago?“Where’s Sean?” he asked casually, like he was just gossiping with an acquaintance. “Why didn’t he come to the hospital?”“That’s none of your business,” Emily replied, clearly annoyed, as she checked her face in the small mirror by the hospital bed.At least her face was unharmed.Justin let out a mocking laugh. “So, did he pla

Emily looked back at her with calm confidence, smiling slightly. “Thank you both for going out of your way to visit me.”Emma opened her mouth to say something else, but Justin interrupted, turning to Emma. “Didn’t you say you were going to get the medicine from Zac? Did you get it?”“I did!” Emma answered, her gaze filled with happiness as she looked at him.“Then let’s head out. There’s still work to do at the office.” Justin took the bag from her hand and, with a smooth motion, intertwined his fingers with hers as they walked out of the hospital room together.Emily’s eyes flickered briefly as she watched their fingers locked together, a shadow passing over her face for just a moment.“Bye-bye, Emily!” Emma turned back, giving a cute wave before matching her steps to Justin’s.The door closed behind them.Emily tossed her clothes onto the bed and sat down, feeling suddenly drained of all her strength. They looked perfect together, happy, like they had never been apart. These

After Emily got home, the bruised areas from her fall started to ache, and there was a dull pain in her chest as well.She went to her room, took off her clothes to apply medicine. The bruise was on her right side, so she clumsily applied the ointment with her left hand. Once she was done, she felt hungry but didn’t feel like cooking, so she ordered takeout.Halfway through her meal, her teacher messaged her, first checking on her well-being and then offering to cover her medical expenses. Emily politely declined, as she had already withdrawn from school. After all, it was her own misstep that led to the fall, not the school’s fault. It was her teacher and classmates who had called the ambulance and gotten her to the hospital.She sent a message thanking them and resumed watching her show while eating her takeout. After finishing her meal, she continued binge-watching. Now that she didn’t have to attend school or work at the school’s art exhibit, she could focus on recovering.Mean

“I’ll let you play with it, but only if you call me ‘big brother’ and tell me your name.” “Big brother,” the little girl said sweetly. “My name is Ria.” “I’m Alex.” Children made friends so easily—their bonds were simple and pure. Just by playing with the toy airplane together, the two had already grown familiar with each other. The sun climbed higher, and the cool morning air gave way to the midday heat. Chase’s phone rang. It was Haley, reminding them to come home for lunch.After hanging up, he called out to Alex, who was still playing in the park.“Alex! Mom says it’s time for lunch!” “Got it!” Alex shouted back before turning to Ria, who was a head shorter than him. “Ria, I have to go home for lunch now. Let’s play again next time! I even have a real drone—not just a toy model, a real one.” “Okay! But you better not go back on your word.” “A man never breaks his promises!” Alex declared proudly. “My house is over there,” Ria said, pointing to a buildin

“You didn’t actually think I came here alone, did you?” Emma forced herself to stay calm. “I’m under Jacob’s watch 24/7. Every time I leave, he sends people to tail me in secret. If you take me, do you really think the Yates family won’t come knocking on your door the same night?” The New Alliance boss and his men glanced around warily, scanning for any signs of hidden surveillance. “I don’t know what you’re really after with this international project,” Emma continued, “but if you so much as try to kidnap me, the Yates family won’t let you leave Lincourt City alive.” She let out a sharp breath, then added, “And if your base here in Lincourt City gets destroyed, wouldn’t that be an even bigger loss for your bosses?” She was bluffing, trying to rattle him. But unexpectedly, she hit a nerve. A flicker of hesitation crossed the man’s eyes. The people above him were using the international project as a front for smuggling. The most legitimate and unexpected locations w

The hateful glare in Emma’s eyes startled the doctor. “I want it gone. I want the abortion now.” The doctor glanced at her chart and hesitated. “This isn’t your first pregnancy, is it? Have you had an abortion before? Your uterine lining is quite thin. If you go through with another one, there’s a high chance you won’t be able to conceive in the future. Even if you do, it’ll be difficult to carry to term.” “I said I want the procedure now! Right now! Do you not understand me?” Without warning, Emma exploded. Her voice was so loud that the people waiting outside turned their heads, curious about the commotion. Some even peeked through the door, expecting to see an argument. The doctor, startled again, quickly tried to calm her down, worried about causing a scene. “Please, don’t get worked up. If you want to terminate the pregnancy, you’ll need to go back to the main hall, pay for the procedure, and register at the gynecology department.” Emma snatched the chart b

Not enough. It still wasn’t enough to calm the rage burning inside Emma! Why? Why did she work so hard, only for that bitch Helen to marry into a wealthy family instead? And Emily—she was nothing more than a stand-in for her, yet five years later, Justin was chasing after her? Why was she the one who had to lose a hand? Why was she stuck here, wasting away with a loser like Jacob? Why? *Knock, knock.* A soft knock came from the bedroom door before it was pushed open. A servant walked in. “Miss Xander, Mr. Yates asked me to bring you this fish soup. You should drink it while it’s hot.” Even after Justin’s scandal about having two sons, Jacob still hadn’t given up on making Emma bear his child. Every day, he ordered the servants to prepare different nourishing soups for her, desperately hoping she would get pregnant as soon as possible. “Take it away!” Emma snapped, her voice sharp and cutting. Her brows furrowed in disgust. What kind of garbage was thi

“Those women are all trained and they know exactly what they’re doing.“And the woman in the photo you sent me? She was part of one of their underground transactions.“But she’s been gone for years,” Alexander recalled, repeating what one of his high-profile clients had told him. “Five, maybe six? Something like that. She’s probably long dead by now. Word is, the women that don’t make the cut in that organization… well, they get dismantled and sold off piece by piece.” Alexander didn’t have direct dealings with Lori, but his family ran casinos overseas, so he was well aware of the dark side of the industry. And five-year-old information wasn’t easy to dig up. By sheer luck, a major client he met just a few days ago had actually been with the woman in that photo. “Ugh—” Justin’s stomach lurched violently. His entire body recoiled before he threw open the car door, stumbling toward a nearby tree and retching. “Ugh—ugh—” The nausea hit in waves, each one stronger

The "BANG" of a door slamming shut echoed down the hall. Justin barely managed to stop himself in time—any closer, and the door would have smacked him straight in the face. Now, with that single door between them, he and Haley were completely separated. Standing in the dimly lit second-floor hallway, he was utterly alone. Even the house staff had long since retreated to their quarters for the night. His lashes lowered, his entire presence steeped in solitude and quiet resignation. A few small lights remained on, preventing the villa from plunging into complete darkness. For a long while, he simply stood there, staring at the door in front of him. Then, finally, he turned. Each step down the staircase echoed heavily in the vast, empty space, matching the weight in his chest. By the time he stepped out of the villa, a familiar figure was already waiting. “Mr. Yates.” William had been standing by the entrance, anticipating his arrival. “Let’s talk in the car.

No wonder Haley knew her so well. They had grown up together, spending every day side by side. She had nailed Helen’s taste perfectly. “Haley, this is perfect! No changes needed. I love it! Mwah!” Helen could already picture herself wearing the ring. She was practically vibrating with excitement. Wilfred leaned over for a glance. “Send me the digital version later. I’ll have the production team get started on it right away. It should be ready by the time I get back.” Though he and Helen didn’t talk much in their daily lives, he was clearly invested in making sure his little sister’s wedding was flawless. Haley nodded. “Got it.” The conversation moved on to other wedding details. Justin had nothing to add, and Haley wasn’t acknowledging him at all. Seeing that it was already past nine, he took Alex upstairs for a bath. “Chase, come on, let’s go shower together!” Chase frowned, his expression as cool and distant as ever. “I’ll shower on my own. You two go ahead.”

After dinner, the Walker family gathered in the living room to go over wedding details. The venue options had already been sent over, and Helen quickly settled on an outdoor ceremony. She chose a lush hillside lawn overlooking the ocean, with the reception held indoors. A beach wedding was out of the question. She didn’t want to deal with sand getting everywhere, especially in heels. With the venue decided, the next steps were choosing a wedding dress and scheduling the photoshoot. Transportation was the least of their worries—both families had more than enough luxury cars. But deciding who would be in the wedding party, especially the send-off and pick-up groups, was proving trickier. The White family had plenty of relatives to fill spots, but the Walkers were another story. Given their background, their circle was small. Evelyn had been an orphan taken in by her former organization, meaning there were no extended family members to rely on. “So it looks like the whole

Besides, how could the second-best hotel in the country possibly be good enough for her wedding?Zac continued, “October 1st is a peak wedding date. Good venues book up fast—especially the best ones.“But since Justin owns the hotel, we get first pick of the venue. Pretty convenient, huh?” Helen hesitated for a moment before reluctantly nodding. “Fine.” At least Justin had some sense. Zac finally relaxed, letting out a relieved breath. He picked up his glass and raised it toward Justin with a smile. “Thanks for handling the venue. Let me toast to that.” Justin had, of course, noticed the little exchange between Zac and Helen, but he chose to pretend otherwise. Keeping his expression neutral, he replied, “No need for that—we’re all family here. I’ll have my team send over the venue details later.” His words were met with silence. Across the table, Richard scoffed. “Family? At best, you’re just Zac’s friend.” “Ow!” A sharp kick landed on Richard’s shin under the ta
