“They better not stay and end up stressing Mr. Yates Sr. to death,” Zac thought to himself, keeping the remark private. The internal dynamics of the Yates family might not be apparent to outsiders, but Zac, as a semi-insider, understood them all too well. Justin staying around wasn’t a concern. His worries were directed at Harry and Stella. The tense atmosphere lingered until Justin turned and led Heidi away. Only after seeing the bodyguards stationed outside the hospital room, preventing entry, did Harry and Stella reluctantly leave the hallway. Zac instructed the night nurse to finalize the necessary paperwork, then caught up with Justin. “Mrs. Yates, I need a word with Justin,” Zac said. Heidi nodded. “Go ahead.” Justin and Zac stepped into the stairwell. Justin pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag. Zac, following his lead, lit one as well. Exhaling a puff of smoke, Zac said, “Mr. Yates Sr. doesn’t have much time left. Be prepared, and don’t l

“Emma’s been with him for five years?” Heidi thought.She turned sharply, her glare piercing as she fixed her son with a questioning look. Didn’t he promise there would be no involvement with Emma anymore?Justin’s brows furrowed, his gaze sharp and icy as he shot a cutting look at Jacob. In a firm, measured tone, he said, “No. She and I have no... relationship.”“It’s not like that, Mr. Jacob!” Emma quickly interjected, her tone anxious, her expression pitiful as she rushed to deny it. But her demeanor, coupled with her words, only made it seem like she was trying to cover up the truth. Justin’s displeased gaze fell on her, making it clear he wasn’t happy she had spoken up. Her explanation only made things worse. Meeting his eyes, Emma couldn’t figure out what she had done wrong. Feeling even more wronged, she lowered her head in silence. Heidi rolled her eyes. She had no patience for such theatrics. “Always crying around Justin like she’s been wronged, and then turning in

“How old was Justin when he took over the company? He had no experience and hadn’t contributed a thing. Meanwhile, you worked yourself to the bone for the company, only for it to become someone else’s prize. Think about yourself, but more importantly, think about your son. Do you really want Jacob to always live in Justin’s shadow? Scraping by on the crumbs Justin decides to toss his way?”Stella’s voice grew more heated as she spoke, her emotions bubbling over.Ten years ago, the company should have been theirs, but it was handed to Justin for nothing. Now that Mr. Yates Sr. was about to die, they were merely reclaiming what rightfully belonged to them. What was so wrong about that? Harry remained silent, his eyes darting as his thoughts churned. His drooping eyelids, a result of age, did little to hide the calculating glint in his gaze. “Hey! Say something!” Stella snapped, rushing after her husband. She couldn’t believe she had married such a spineless man. *Heidi

Jacob slid his hands into his pockets, a faint smirk curling at the corners of his mouth. “What’s this? You were scared stiff at the rehab center, and now you’re cursing my grandfather?” Emma frowned. “Can you take this seriously for once? He’s already in the hospital because of you. Either he dies and takes our secret to the grave, or he recovers and drags us both down with him!” Her tone sharpened as she snapped, “Don’t tell me you’re suddenly getting sentimental and playing the family card. You’ve got three lives to lose, while I’ve only got one!”Jacob chuckled softly, lowering his head to meet her gaze. “Relax. I already said I’d handle it.” A car pulled up, and Emma threw him a final warning. “Make sure you wipe the rehab center’s security footage clean.”She turned to open the car door, but Jacob grabbed her wrist, spinning her around to face him. Before she could react, he leaned down and kissed her—a brief, deliberate act. Releasing her, he smirked mischievously. “

“Oh, so that’s what you’ve been planning this whole time. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Stella’s annoyance melted away as she realized her husband was still on her side. She immediately offered, “My dad knows Mr. Yates Sr.’s lawyer. First thing in the morning, I’ll have him set up a meeting for you.”The cloud over Harry’s face lifted, and he kissed her cheek in excitement. “I knew marrying you was the right choice!”Stella beamed, playfully swatting his arm. “We’ve been married for years. Aren’t you worried someone might see?”“So what if they do? And anyway, who’s around this late at the hospital?” Stella’s smile grew wider at Harry’s comment, her mood visibly lifting.“By the way, where’s Jacob? Didn’t he say he’d be here? We’re about to leave, and he hasn’t shown up yet.” Growing concerned, she pulled out her phone to call him.The phone rang a few times before the call was abruptly declined.“What’s he up to now?” Stella muttered, frowning at the screen. “Don’t tell me h

Not long after the others had left, Justin’s phone buzzed. “Mr. Yates, the surveillance footage from the rehabilitation center was sent for upgrades on Monday. As of now, there’s no active monitoring in the entire facility,” William reported. William wasn’t at Lichfield Hospital. He had been sent by Justin to investigate the cause of Mr. Yates Sr.’s acute distress. Unfortunately, he was a step too late. Justin’s gaze turned cold as he looked out at the dark shadows cast by the trees. “Check the nearby businesses with surveillance cameras. See if any of them caught something unusual.” “Understood.” Meanwhile, in the parking lot, Stella was still venting her frustration. “Did you see how eager he was to play the devoted grandson? He’s just like his dead father, always buttering people up for the sake of money!” “Can you stop for once?” Harry snapped, irritated by her constant complaining. He waved her off. “Go home first. Jacob and I have things to discuss.” “What

Helen glanced at the time—it was 3 a.m. “Justin’s grandfather is dying,” Zac’s somber voice came through the line. “What?” Helen shot upright in bed, her sleepiness instantly gone, her face full of shock. Justin’s grandfather? She paused for a moment to piece it together—it must be Justin’s father’s father. She couldn’t be blamed for the delayed reaction. Her oldest living relative was her mother, and she had no grandparents. “I’m driving to your place now. Meet me outside. I need to discuss something with you,” Zac continued. “Oh, okay. Drive safely!” After hanging up, Helen couldn’t quite pinpoint how she felt. She scratched her head, changed out of her pajamas, and waited for Zac. Less than thirty minutes later, her phone vibrated. She opened her bedroom door quietly, intending to slip out. But as soon as she stepped out, her heart leapt in fright. “Sis? You’re still awake?” Helen asked, startled. “Couldn’t sleep. I was organizing the studio,” Haley

“Alright, stop showing off your intelligence!” Helen scolded.“So, does that mean you agree?” Zac asked, hopeful.She stared out the window, clearly torn. “I can’t decide this on my own.”Zac didn’t push her further, giving her space to think.*Helen tapped her fingers nervously against her thigh. “Are you absolutely sure Justin won’t find out?”“I’m positive,” Zac assured her with a firm nod.“Fine. Call me tomorrow.”“Alright.”With that, Helen got out of the car and walked back home, her expression heavy with worry. When she opened the door, she was startled to see Haley in the living room, sipping a glass of water.“Haley?” Helen gasped, her face frozen in shock as if she had seen a ghost.Haley looked at her water glass, unbothered. “Thirsty so I came down for a drink. And you? Did you get what you needed from the car?”“Yes, I did,” Helen lied with a quick nod, eager to escape.Just as she turned to dash upstairs, Haley stopped her.“But you didn’t bring anything b

In the top-floor conference room, an emergency shareholders' meeting was underway. The primary agenda was the removal of Haley as RC Corporation’s acting president.The fallout from the recent workplace fatality had seriously damaged the company’s reputation, even forcing their flagship international project to halt temporarily.Things had barely begun, and they were already facing one obstacle after another.Harry sat near the end of the table, watching Haley’s icy expression with undisguised satisfaction. “Just yesterday,” he announced with a smug smile, “I acquired three percent of RC Corporation’s shares from Jason Zimmer.“With the two percent I already held, my total may not exceed Miss Haley’s, but I have full confidence in my ability to lead this company forward. I will rally our thousands of employees, and I promise each of you—my fellow shareholders—you will see the returns I deliver.“I ask for your trust and your vote.”This time, Harry didn’t even bother hiding hi

Justin glanced at Haley again through the mirror. She was still beautiful. Years of skincare, clean living, and regular workouts had kept her looking as stunning as ever. Aside from the deeper emotion in her eyes—the kind that came from life experience—she hadn’t changed at all.He leaned in close and said with a grin, “Sis, I want one too.”Haley gave him a sideways look, then picked up another face mask from the counter and handed it to him.“I don’t know how to use it. Can you help me put it on?” he asked, clinging to her sleeve.“If you don’t know how, don’t do it,” she replied, pulling her hand back.Justin immediately snatched the mask back. “Aww, how can you be so heartless? You won’t even help me?”“You’ve got hands, don’t you?”“But I’ve never done it before!”“You did before you lost your memory.”“Well, I don’t remember that now.”“Then give it back.” Haley held out her hand, palm up.“Nope.”They bickered playfully, the back-and-forth echoing through the bathr

In the hospital room at Lichfield, Haley was half-reclining on the sofa, casually scrolling through her phone while Justin sat quietly nearby, studying project documents. He really seemed to take Haley’s words seriously. Despite the memory loss, he was making an effort to run the company.Suddenly, a notification popped up on her screen. She tapped it open.It was a message from Helen.“Sis, have you seen today’s trending news? Justin’s uncle got caught sneaking around with his mistress. It’s all over the internet. Yikes, it’s graphic. Let’s just say... there’s a whole lot of skin. You think his wife hasn’t lost her mind by now?”Haley replied with a calm message.“I saw it. You’re pregnant—try not to look at that kind of stuff.”“It was a push notification, I didn’t go looking for it! But seriously, for a gossip story to trend this high and stay up so long… you think Justin might’ve had a hand in it?” Helen was home with nothing to do during her pregnancy, and lately, her i

“Jacob, you…” Stella stared at him in disbelief. She had raised this child with her own hands, and now that something had happened, he was taking his father’s side?Jacob was a man himself. He had his fair share of flings outside, so naturally, he understood where his father was coming from.Never mind the fact that he still obsessed over Emma. That didn’t stop him from sleeping with other women over the past few months.“Dad, I’ve already paid someone to start pulling the news down. Things are at a critical point right now. You need to lay low.”It was clear Jacob knew all about his father’s affairs—probably more than one.Harry finally pulled out his phone and checked the news. His expression darkened as he read through the headlines. It wasn’t until Jacob reminded him that he realized how serious this could be.“What about your engagement?” he asked.“Don’t worry. I’ve already smoothed things over with my fiancée,” Jacob said flatly.Both families had entered this engageme

Harry burst into laughter and didn’t spare a single glance at his son. He dragged the woman straight into the bedroom, not even bothering to close the curtains before getting straight to "work."Across the street, someone aimed a camera from a neighboring window and captured the entire scene. That same day, a scandalous exposé was written up and posted online. It didn't take long before it shot to the top of trending news and stayed there.Though Harry wasn’t a celebrity or public figure, curious netizens flooded the comments. As people started digging, they quickly discovered that the man in the photos was none other than Harry Yates, Vice Chairman of RC Corporation.That night, back at the Yates’ villa, the entire place was lit up. Stella sat stiffly on the sofa, gripping her tablet so tightly her knuckles turned white. On the screen were blurred-out photos and detailed captions of her husband’s affair.Each image and every word only added fuel to her rage.Her first instinct wa

Sam said goodbye to the others and drove off to return to the company.Upstairs, after Justin’s final checkup, William wheeled him back to his hospital room. Once the door was shut, William reported before Justin could even ask.“He’s been detained. The accounts he embezzled from have been frozen, and we found all the related evidence at his home.”“Don’t send him to the Special Investigations Unit just yet,” Justin said calmly. “Wait until we’ve gathered everything from my uncle’s side, then hand it all over together.”“Understood.”*Meanwhile, in the doctor’s office, everyone was gathered, waiting for Justin’s test results. When the scans and reports came back showing no serious problems, the Walker family finally felt relieved enough to prepare to leave.But Alex clung to Haley’s leg, refusing to budge. “I want to stay here and take care of Uncle Justin. I’ll go home when he’s all better.”Haley opened her mouth to respond, but Zac quickly scooped Alex into his arms and

Outside, thunder cracked violently, echoing through the downpour. Rain lashed down in sheets as a car with a smashed, caved-in front screeched to a sudden stop in front of a villa.The former project lead jumped out into the storm and ran to the door, banging on it frantically. He had left his keys in the car, and with his hands soaked and trembling, he fumbled multiple times with the fingerprint lock and passcode. None of them worked.“Who the hell is banging on the door like that in the middle of the night? Trying to scare someone to death?” his wife yelled as she walked toward the entryway, a face mask plastered on her face, clearly irritated.“It’s me! Open up, now!” he growled from outside.Hearing his voice, she quickly opened the door, still grumbling as she did. “You could’ve just knocked like a normal person! Don’t you know how scary it is to be home alone in the dark with rain pouring down like this?”She kept muttering, but her husband didn’t say a word. He rushed pa

Justin’s grip on her arm loosened a little as he watched Haley sit in front of him, trying to make an emergency call.“Why isn’t there any signal?” she muttered, brows furrowed, her voice tight with urgency. Her face, though she didn’t realize it, was full of unspoken worry.In the front seat, William and Sam had already climbed out of the driver’s cabin. Both pulled out their phones and tried calling for help—but none of them had service either.The rain kept falling, heavy and relentless.After surveying the surroundings, William quickly returned. “I’ll climb up and try to make the call from higher ground. You all stay here and wait for me.”*At Mistletoe Villa, the rest of the family was still waiting for Haley and Justin to return.“Didn’t Mommy say she’d be back this afternoon? It’s already nighttime. Why isn’t she home yet?” Chase frowned, his brows scrunching in worry.Unable to shake the thought, he quickly used his kid’s smartwatch to call her.The ringtone went on f

After Justin finished speaking, he tilted his head and playfully nuzzled her shoulder like a child seeking affection.In the front seat, William and Sam caught a glimpse of it through the rearview mirror. They exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away. “Was that really the same terrifying CEO who used to make everyone tremble with a glance? Did someone take over his body or something?” they thought.Haley shifted uncomfortably, edging away from him to put some distance between them.“Justin, didn’t you study at a business school overseas? Your major was finance or economics, right? You didn’t go abroad just to attend kindergarten, did you?” Her tone sharpened. “When we get back, I want you to start managing the company immediately. Got it?”She couldn’t keep running the company for him. Her background wasn’t even in business—helping temporarily was one thing, but doing it long-term? Absolutely not.She didn’t have the insight or instinct for investments, and she certainly wa
