“I might go to another city, or even abroad. I haven’t decided yet,” Emily said, leaning back on the sofa, her tone calm.“Either one sounds great,” Helen agreed, surprisingly enthusiastic. “You could go to the Merika State. My family’s over there. I’d love to take you to visit!”Emily fell into thought. The Merika State was the place where Emma and Justin reunited.“Fleure Academy is in the Merika State, too,” Helen suggested cheerfully. “You could continue your studies there.” She could tell from Emily's expression that she was hesitating. “Merika’s huge! The chance of running into that jerk Justin is pretty slim! And unless you plan on leaving Earth, there’s no avoiding him completely!” Helen added.Helen made a good point, and Emily’s mind suddenly cleared. Fleure Academy was the pinnacle of art schools. It would be a shame not to give it a shot just because of one heartbreak.With renewed determination, Emily nodded. “Alright, then. The Merika State it is.”“Great! Just wa

Sean walked in, carrying takeout bags in both hands. “Didn’t Emily say she took a fall and can’t go out? So I figured, why not bring the food here myself?“Besides, you probably don’t feel like cooking, right? So takeout it is.” He placed the dishes on the table. “It’s from Seven Kings. I know she loves it,” he added with a cheerful smile.“Oh, I’m impressed, kiddo! You’re really thoughtful!” Helen teased without a care, turning toward the kitchen to grab some plates and utensils.Sean’s smile faltered a bit at being called “kiddo.” He subtly glanced at Emily, worried she might see him as too young and be put off. When he noticed she didn’t react much, he felt relieved.“You really didn’t need to go to all this trouble,” Emily said casually. “You saved me at the pool last time, so I should be the one treating you to a meal.”“What’s the difference? You can take me out once you’re all better,” Sean replied, clearly happy just to spend time with her.During the meal, Sean was atten

“Just a week. Remember to be in Bay City by the 21st for the handover with the local government.”Emily received the contact information for the Bay City government liaison shortly after.“Got it.”A week later, she boarded the plane to Bay City, carrying her finalized artwork submission.As soon as she settled into her seat in first class, a familiar voice sounded beside her.“Emily!” Sean’s cheerful voice rang out again.“Sean? What are you doing on this flight?” Emily asked, surprised and confused.“Why, going on vacation, of course!” Sean replied, taking the seat next to hers.“So? Same flight?”“Yep!”Emily’s face clearly showed her disbelief.Sean chuckled and explained, “Helen told me you’d be working in Bay City. She gave me the flight number and seat assignment, too.”“Since we’re heading the same way, why not travel together!”As Sean explained, he took out his phone, adjusted the beauty filter and his posture, and snapped a quick selfie with Emily. He added a ca

Emma always acted as if she were superior and set apart from others, hinting at a special relationship with Mr. Yates. Yet how could she not know he took private jets for business trips? Emily, by contrast, was far more modest and polite.The gossip about Mr. Yates, Emily, and Emma had spread all around the secretary team. Being on the same floor as the CEO’s office, they had access to all the juicy details.“Alright, I’ll give him a call and ask,” Emma replied, trying to look casual.The secretary left the lounge.It was only today that Emma learned Justin would be traveling to Bay City for business. She had rushed over at noon in hopes of joining him, only to find out he had already left.Emma dialed Justin's number. After just two rings, he picked up.“Justin, why didn’t you take me along on your business trip?” she pouted, a hint of complaint in her voice. “I wanted to be with you. I don’t feel safe without you nearby.”On the other end, Justin rubbed his forehead, soundin

“But you are Justin’s mother, and I’m his girlfriend. You’re going to be my future mother-in-law, so I’m just getting used to it!” Emma replied with a playful laugh. “I’m just being respectful. Right now, I call you my future mother-in-law, but once Justin and I get married, I’ll be calling you Mom!”Heidi’s anger was written all over her face as she glared at Emma. “Emma, stay away from my son! Marry him? Keep dreaming! As long as I’m in this family, you’ll never set foot in our home!”“Oh, you didn’t know?” Emma covered her mouth in mock surprise. “Yesterday, Justin took me to visit Mr. Yates Sr. at the care facility, and he proposed to me right in front of him!”She smiled blissfully, then looked at Heidi with a provocative glint in her eyes.Heidi’s chest rose and fell with fury. Her voice turned harsh. “Impossible! Justin would never propose to you!”“If you don’t believe me, why not call Justin and ask? You’ll find out soon enough,” Emma replied with a shrug, her tone indiff

Emily was speechless. “Where does a kid like him come up with lines like that?” she wondered.Seeing that she couldn’t get her suitcase back, she decided to let him have his way. They walked out of the airport together.“Where are you staying?” she asked.“The WX Hotel.”Emily froze. The WX Hotel was the same one booked for her by the Bay City government contact. She had planned to use the opportunity to part ways with Sean, but it seemed they would still be stuck traveling together.The two ended up sharing a cab to the hotel.Once in her room, Emily unpacked her things and started organizing her belongings.*Ding dong.* The doorbell rang repeatedly.She walked to the door and opened it. “Who is it?”“Emily, is your phone dead or something?” Sean leaned casually against the doorframe, looking exasperated.“My phone?” Emily grabbed it from her bag. “Oh, I forgot to turn off airplane mode. Why? What’s the matter?”Sean pointed to his watch. “It’s dinnertime. Work is important

At the hot pot restaurant, while waiting for the food to arrive, Emily received an unexpected call from Mrs. Zimmer. Surprised, she still picked up. “Hello, Mrs. Zimmer?” “Miss Yates, do you have a moment? I’d like to ask you something,” Mrs. Zimmer said politely and warmly on the other end. “Of course, go ahead.” Emily respected Mrs. Zimmer, who had treated her kindly over the past three years. “Well, Miss Yates, you used to help organize Mr. Yates’ travel clothes. Now that you’ve left so suddenly, I’ve had to take over, and I’m not used to it," Mrs. Zimmer said carefully, her tone cautious.“Earlier today, I took far too long packing his suitcase, and I’m worried it might affect his work in the future,” she added, clearly nervous. “Could you put together a list for me? It would make coordinating his outfits much easier.”Emily froze for a moment. “Is Justin on another business trip? Did he make things difficult for Mrs. Zimmer while she was packing?” she thought.Even

Emily froze for a moment, then nodded reluctantly in agreement. Sean noticed her hesitation and reached out to ruffle her soft hair, deliberately messing it up. “Sean!” Emily snapped, glaring at him. “Goodnight, Emily!” Sean called out cheerfully before darting off, leaving Emily standing there, fuming. *The next afternoon, Sean drove Emily to the Bay City government building. “Wait in the car. I’ll be quick,” Emily instructed. Sean obediently nodded. Her meeting with the government contact went smoothly, and the artwork was finalized on the spot. However, as she was leaving, she spotted Justin. He was walking at the center of a group, surrounded by high-ranking government officials as they headed straight toward her. Emily quickly stepped into a side corridor to avoid them. She waited until they passed before leaving the building. “What’s Justin doing in Bay City?” she wondered. “And at the government building?“Could it have something to do with th

Jacob rarely disregarded her suggestions, but this time, he merely let out a cold scoff before striding out of the room. Emma’s expression darkened as she watched his departing figure, resentment flashing in her eyes. With a loud bang, the door slammed shut behind him. Men and their sweet talk—nice to hear in bed, but the moment she needed them to actually do something, they scattered like cockroaches. Still, bitterness wouldn’t solve her problems. If Jacob was useless, she had to find another way. Grabbing her phone, she scrolled through her contacts, searching for someone with access to the project. *Inside RC Corporation, operations were running smoothly, especially in the marketing department. With a certain someone finally gone, the workload had eased, and the atmosphere had become noticeably more relaxed.“Ugh, that tyrant finally left. We really survived hell. I just feel bad for the people over at the branch office. They’re stuck under Miss Xanader for the r

The next morning, the sky was clear, not a cloud in sight. After getting dressed, Jacob was ready to head to work, leaving Emma behind at home. “I’ll have someone stall things for you at the branch office, so just stay put here and wait for me. This storm will pass soon, and in a few days, I’ll get you reinstated.” Standing in front of the mirror, Jacob straightened his tie, his tone arrogant—completely disregarding the company’s president as if he were nothing more than a minor inconvenience. In the mirror’s reflection, Emma sat behind him, her head slightly lowered, lost in thought. Clearly, she hadn’t been paying attention to a word he had said. Jacob’s expression darkened instantly. He turned abruptly, striding over to her in just a few steps. His fingers clamped around her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. His voice was sharp, threatening. “Don’t even think about double-crossing me. Like you said, we’re in this together. Justin will never take you back! O

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the stormy night with a deafening clap of thunder. For a split second, its flash lit up Justin’s face—dark, grim, and foreboding. Something had happened to his mother. *Outside, thunder rumbled violently. "Ahhh!" Emma jolted awake, drenched in sweat, gasping for air. Her wide eyes darted around the dimly lit room. She had a nightmare. She had dreamed of Heidi. In her dream, Heidi had crawled out of a raging river, her body covered in blood—coming for her. Crack! Another lightning strike illuminated the room. Emma’s face turned ghostly pale, her lips bloodless. She wrapped her arms around herself, trembling, her gaze filled with cold hatred. “Heidi Yates… I wasn’t the one who killed you. You did this to yourself. “You should have just stayed out of it. “You should have never opposed my marriage to Justin. “And you should have never come downstairs that night. “If you hadn’t overheard

Evelyn’s suggestion gave Richard a new lead, and he wasted no time acting on it. Investigating Emma’s past wasn’t difficult. By nightfall, he had compiled her entire background. She was an only child. Her father worked as a bank employee and her mother was a teacher. Her preschool, elementary, middle school, high school, and college years were uneventful.Everything about her life was ordinary until her third year of university. That was when Emma suddenly vanished. For three years, she was completely off the radar. Then, out of nowhere, she resurfaced. Three years?Again, three years?That number—it was the same amount of time Haley had disappeared back when she was still Emily.The overseas trip that Justin had organized, taking Emma and his other graduating classmates along, wasn’t difficult to investigate. Justin hadn’t even bothered to hide it.Everyone within their social circle had known about it, but for those outside of it, access to such informati

“We’ve looked into it before. She was Justin’s first love, his so-called ‘dream girl’ back in college,” Richard said dismissively. Just mentioning her name made his expression darken with disgust. His sister had been nothing more than Emma’s stand-in for three whole years—all while she had lost her memory. Disgusting. Those two were the absolute worst. Evelyn, however, remained unfazed. “Since we’ve hit a dead end, let’s go deeper into Emma’s past.” “Got it, Mom.” *“Grandma? Grandma, where are you?” A soft voice echoed through the hallway. From the moment Alex woke up this morning, he had been excited to finally see his grandma. But when he got up, she was already gone—off to the hospital with Zac. He had waited all day, peeking at the door every chance he got. And now, finally, she was home. Evelyn paused mid-conversation, turned, and opened the door. Before stepping out, she looked over her shoulder at Richard. “Be patient. Pay attention to

At Mistletoe Villa, Evelyn stepped out of the car and made her way straight to Richard’s study.Inside, Richard sat at his desk, staring at his computer screen, his frown deepening the longer he looked.Every single one of Emma’s transactions—big or small—checked out. The numbers all lined up perfectly.So where was the problem? A knock on the door. “Come in.” It was Evelyn. She had come alone—Helen wasn’t with her. “What have you found?” she asked, getting straight to the point. Richard sighed, his expression troubled. “Mom, we’ve hit a dead end.“The one who made the attempt was just a low-level gun-for-hire, someone lurking on the outskirts of the underworld. Based on exposed skin and height comparisons, he’s most likely from Southeast Atlantis.“But as for the person who hired him?” Richard shook his head. “Still no leads. We’ve lost the trail.” His brows furrowed even deeper. They still hadn’t identified the one behind the attack on his sister. For the fi

“I don’t want a stake in the market,” Justin said firmly. “If Haley wants, I can transfer all my shares in the Merikan medical company to her immediately.“I can also give her my shares in RC Corporation.” As if one company wasn’t enough, he added another. “Cough—cough!” Zac had just taken a sip of water when he nearly choked at Justin’s words. Was he copying me? Did he really think this move would work on Haley? Zac had his doubts. Haley’s expression remained unreadable. She only blinked once before looking away. Helen, on the other hand, gawked. Fifty percent of the Merikan medical company’s shares? Plus shares in RC Corporation? That was an insane amount of money. With that kind of wealth as backing, their family’s power in Ostland State could double overnight. Wouldn’t that make them as rich as an entire country?As for the remaining fifty percent of the medical company’s shares?Of course, they were in her hands.Zac had already transferred

“Mom?” Haley was stunned for a second before her face lit up with joy. Evelyn stepped into the room. Oh, this was rich. One man had tricked her younger daughter into marriage.The other was lingering in her elder daughter's hospital room.What a pair of great ‘brothers’ indeed. “Hi, Mrs. Walker. It's great to finally meet you.”Justin, usually so composed, felt a rare flicker of nervousness in front of Evelyn.This was Haley’s mother, after all.Evelyn barely spared him a glance before replying, her voice cold.“I’m pretty sure our family doesn’t feel the same way.”The very first thing she said, and she had already put him in his place.It was clear just how unwelcome he was in her eyes. Seeing Justin completely shut down, Zac quietly laughed to himself. Finally. Finally, someone else had to experience his mother-in-law’s wrath. Why should he be the only one suffering? Justin opened his mouth but immediately shut it again, his voice stuck in his thro

Helen muttered under her breath, “We’re legally married.” Evelyn shot her a sharp glare. One look. That was all it took to shut Helen up. She immediately lowered her head in silence. “If he’s not willing to come, then he’s not fit to be my son-in-law.” Evelyn declared coldly. Helen didn’t hesitate. She yanked out her phone and quickly said, “I’ll call him right now. He’ll be here at seven sharp.” Only then did Evelyn seem satisfied. She followed the housekeeper upstairs, first checking on Chase and Alex, who were still sound asleep in the children’s room. Then, she returned to the room that had already been prepared for her. *Downstairs, Helen was grumbling the entire time as she reluctantly dialed Zac’s number. Turns out, he had just gotten home—but despite the late hour, he agreed to the seven a.m. pickup without a single complaint. The call ended, and Helen muttered bitterly, “She won’t take gifts, but she sure doesn’t hesitate to order people around.”
