“Since Mr. Yates came with Miss Xander, we’d better not disturb you two while you enjoy the exhibit,” Haley said coolly, her voice distant as she turned and walked away, leaving the scene first.Helen glared at Emma’s overly dramatic display, clearly disgusted. After throwing both Emma and Justin a sharp look, she hurried to catch up with Haley. “Wait for me, sis!”Zac watched Justin with a mixture of disappointment and frustration, shaking his head as if to say, “What are you doing?” Without saying another word, he followed Helen.“Justin, why did Haley leave so suddenly?” Emma’s voice was soft, laced with faux concern. “Still, it’s good to know she’s alive. And now she’s even an artist. I wonder how she managed to survive those five years—must’ve met someone important along the way.”Her last sentence was laced with insinuation, suggesting Haley had used underhanded means to gain her status as an artist.Justin’s expression turned cold as he looked down at Emma, his gaze sharp a

The three walked off, leaving Haley feeling like an oversized, glaring third wheel. She quickly told them to find somewhere else to hang out so she could enjoy the exhibit in peace.Haley strolled through the venue alone, appreciating the works of other artists. Since it was a cultural art exhibit rather than a commercial one, it wasn’t nearly as exhausting as a personal showcase. Not long after, she noticed footsteps trailing her, always maintaining a deliberate distance. The weight of the gaze from behind was enough to make her skin crawl. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and spun around. “Justin, how far are you planning to push the limits of my tolerance? Are you seriously resorting to stalking now?”“I…” Justin was momentarily at a loss for words. He had followed her because he sensed she was upset, but he wasn’t sure how to start a conversation. Now that he had been called out, he walked up to her directly. “Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t invite Emma to the exhibit

“Haley, you have to believe me!” Justin called out as he continued to chase after her.Haley quickened her pace, trying to avoid him, but the exhibit hall wasn’t exactly expansive. There wasn’t much room to hide.Her phone rang, breaking the tension like a lifeline. It was Helen. “Sis, where are we having lunch? I don’t want the boxed meals they’ve provided here. Let’s eat out. Zac and I are waiting at the main entrance.”“Alright,” Haley replied.It was perfect timing. With no other way to avoid Justin, going out for lunch seemed like the best option. She quickly sent a message to the event coordinator and headed toward the exit.Just as she reached the main entrance and met up with Helen and Zac, Justin appeared behind her. “Haley, don’t be mad. Wait for me!”Helen immediately turned defensive, glaring at Justin as if he were an unwelcome intruder. “Justin, shouldn’t you be with your darling Emma, your precious first love? What are you doing here? We don’t want you around!”It

Justin’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction when he noticed Haley eating the steak he had cut for her. Across the table, Helen was utterly speechless. “Now he decides to make amends? He’s like a dad who shows up with a gift long after the kid has moved out. How ridiculous!” she fumed silently.Disgusted by Justin’s regretful demeanor, Helen pressed her knife into the steak on her plate, cutting it with exaggerated force, making the sound almost grating. Zac noticed the noise and, eager to calm her, quickly mimicked Justin, slicing her steak into neat pieces and sliding the plate back to her. “When did you two get together?” Justin suddenly asked, directing the question at them. “Uh…” Zac hesitated, unsure how to answer without hurting his friend. Helen wasn’t impressed with Zac’s reluctance. She shot him a sharp glare. “What’s so hard to admit? Are we hiding something shameful?” she muttered.Zac cleared his throat awkwardly. “Do you remember the opening night of the Majes

The sharp ringing of a phone broke through the ambient noise in the restaurant. Justin saw it was Emma calling and instinctively moved to decline the call. He couldn’t allow Emma to ruin his time with Haley again. Helen’s sharp eyes caught the caller ID and snapped, “Don’t hang up! Answer it. I want to hear what Emma has to say!” Justin hesitated, his gaze shifting toward Haley, hoping to see some reaction, maybe even a hint of jealousy. But to his disappointment, Haley remained indifferent, her expression unreadable as she quietly focused on her food, completely ignoring the ringing phone. “Hurry up and answer! Put it on speaker!” Helen urged impatiently. Justin reluctantly hit the answer button. Zac raised an eyebrow at his friend, surprised. “He actually picked up?” he silently remarked.Emma’s soft, saccharine voice filled the air through the speaker. “Justin, did you catch up to Haley? Is she still upset with me?” Her tone dripped with sweetness as she con

Back at her apartment, Emma parked and headed straight to her bedroom. In the corner of her wardrobe, she retrieved a locked metal box. From inside, she took out an old, outdated cellphone, dusted it off, and plugged it in to charge. Once powered on, she accessed a long-forgotten contact and sent a single text message: “I need someone killed. Haley.” This person was a hitman she had come to know during the three years she had disappeared. A reply came almost instantly. Emma followed the instructions, transferring funds to an offshore account as directed. After completing the transaction, she sank into the chair by her vanity and let out a long, relieved breath. Finally, she could get rid of Emily once and for all. But before she could fully relish her moment of relief, her phone screen lit up with a new message from Jacob. “Done playing? Come back. You’re still sleeping at my place tonight.”Jacob. Emma’s eyes turned red with fury. How could she have forgotten a

Justin slid further into the car, patting the seat beside him with a cheeky grin. Haley was seething with anger, rolling her eyes.Behind them, a car horn blared impatiently. “Hey! Is this parking lot yours? Are you moving or not? If not, let us through!” “Sorry! Really sorry, just arguing with my wife! We’re leaving now!” Justin rolled down the rear window and apologized. He then turned back to Haley with a tilted head, signaling her to get in. “Enough already! If you two are going to fight, do it in the car and stop blocking the way!” someone shouted from behind. Haley clenched her teeth, pointing a finger at Justin. “Shut your mouth, and stop spewing nonsense!” With a loud slam, she shut the rear door and reluctantly walked to the front passenger seat, opening the door and sitting inside. William, already tense, became even more alert. He shifted closer to the door on his side, as if bracing for impact. He was well aware that his boss didn’t take rejection lightly

Justin rarely watched movies, and even when he wanted to, his private theater at home was always an option. This was his first time sitting shoulder to shoulder with strangers in a public cinema. Haley glanced at him briefly but said nothing. Unbothered by her silence, Justin inserted the straw into the milk tea and handed it to her, along with the popcorn. After their earlier back-and-forth, Haley was indeed thirsty. She took the milk tea, sipped it, and decided there was no point in overthinking it. The movie began—a horror film with a romantic subplot. Justin had carefully researched online beforehand, learning that taking the girl you love to a scary movie might make her cling to you out of fear. The newly released *Phantom Bride* seemed like the perfect choice. The air conditioning in the packed theater was cranked up high. Before long, Haley felt a chill and crossed her arms, holding herself tightly. Justin wasn’t entirely focused on the movie. He kept stealing

On the other end of the call, Richard and the two boys watched the video over and over again. “Uncle Richard… is Mommy really okay? She has so many tubes attached to her,” Alex asked, his brows furrowed in worry. The sight unsettled him. Chase, despite being more studious, didn’t know much about medicine either. Like his younger brother, he turned to Richard with questioning eyes. Richard reassured them, “Those tubes are just monitoring her vital signs. Right now, your mom’s heartbeat is stable. As long as she stays in that room for the next twenty-four hours without complications, she’ll be fine.” “Another twenty-four hours?” Alex looked up at his uncle with a pitiful expression. That reassurance didn’t feel all that reassuring. “Alright, stop overthinking it. Get some sleep now, and when you wake up, the twenty-four hours will almost be up, and you can go see your mom.” Richard scooped up both kids and carried them upstairs to their room. After tucking them into

By the time Helen and Zac arrived outside the ICU, Justin was already standing by the window. He was motionless, staring inside like a statue—completely absorbed in the sight before him. Haley was still on a ventilator, her body covered in medical tubes due to excessive inhalation of toxic gas. Seeing this, Helen didn’t argue or make a fuss. Instead, she softened her steps and walked over with Zac. When would her sister finally be out of danger? No one knew how long they had been standing there when Wilfred arrived, his face weary from the rushed journey, his steps urgent. “You’re finally here!” The moment Helen saw Wilfred, she felt a wave of emotion rise in her chest. She wanted to cry again, but the thought that her sister had survived made her hold it in—crying now felt unlucky. Wilfred stepped forward and gently patted Helen’s head. “I’m here.” “Hi Wilfred,” Zac greeted as well. Wilfred nodded in acknowledgment. Meanwhile, Justin remained frozen in pla

A sharp slap echoed through the hospital room. Emma had just struck Jacob across the face. “Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense! Justin loves me! I was his first love, I was the one who saved his life—he loves me!” Something in her own words triggered her deeply. She couldn’t accept it. She could lie to herself all she wanted, but she wouldn’t allow anyone else to say it out loud. Especially not Jacob.That slap snapped Jacob back to his senses. Emma had once carried his child. If she hadn’t made the decision to get rid of it, that child would have been the first great-grandchild of the Yates family—one that would have already been born by now. Why? Why did the great-grandson get a share of the inheritance, but not him, the actual grandson? His eyes darkened with madness. Without hesitation, right there in the hospital room, he forced himself on Emma. He would make sure she gave him another son. *Outside the operating room, when Zac returned with the medicatio

Amid the heated argument, the hospital room door suddenly swung open, jolting Jacob awake from his unconscious state. “Emma!” His voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been scraped with gravel. That one call froze Emma in place like a spell had been cast upon her. Jacob was really alive! Like a relentless leech, he just wouldn’t die! Her eyes locked onto the man lying in the hospital bed, burning with hatred. Why was he still alive? Why hadn’t he just died already? “Come here,” his voice was weak, barely audible. “Miss Xander, go on. Mr. Yates is calling you,” the nurse nudged her, eyes twinkling at the sight of such a handsome man and beautiful woman together. They made quite the striking pair. The nurse quickly adjusted Jacob’s IV, removed the needle, and hurried out, even thoughtfully closing the door behind her. The soft click of the door pulled Emma out of her spiraling emotions. She curled her lips into what should have been a smile, but the expressi

“Hey, are you joking? The Yates family isn’t just rich—they’re filthy rich!” *Emma skimmed through the news, confirming that Jacob was dead. A satisfied smirk tugged at her lips as she turned to head back to the waiting area outside the operating room. So what if they didn’t want her there?She wanted to be there. She needed to see it—to witness Emily being covered with a white sheet. Slipping her phone back into her purse, she didn’t even glance at the comments under the video. There was no need. The report said, “One dead, two injured.” As far as she was concerned, the dead one was Jacob. After all, she had paid for both of these ‘accidents’ with her own money.She had barely walked a few steps when her phone rang again. “Hello?” “Is this Miss Xander? I’m a nurse from People's Hospital. A patient named Mr. Yates listed you as his emergency contact. He was in a car accident and has been admitted to our hospital. Would you be able to come in?”People’s Hospital

“What nonsense are you spouting now?” Zac scowled, his sharp gaze locked on Emma. What game was she playing this time? When had he ever said he wanted her gone because of Helen? Yes, he was telling her to leave, but for an entirely different reason than the one she had just implied. “If you and Helen can’t get along, then it’s best you leave,” Justin said, not wanting their constant bickering to disrupt Haley’s peace. Unbeknownst to them, the examination room door had silently swung open at some point. Justin stood there, observing them. It was unclear how much he had overheard. “Well, well! So Emma was trying to turn Justin against me just now,” Zac realized.“Justin, listen to me, I…” Zac hurried to explain, but halfway through, he realized that Justin was actually telling her to leave.Emma froze, her hand still pressed to her cheek where she had been wiping away nonexistent tears. What had he just said? He wanted her to leave? The tactic that had never fai

“She’s still not out? Don’t panic yet,” Richard reassured her. “I just rewatched the video carefully—her arms and legs are intact. She’s tough, Helen. She’s going to be fine. Just hang in there and wait.”It was rare for Richard to comfort her instead of bickering with her, but this time, he stepped up. “Aunt Helen, are you at the hospital? Have you seen Mom?” Alex and Chase tugged at Richard’s shirt, their little voices filled with urgency. Alex was on the verge of tears, while Chase, being the older brother, was holding his emotions in check but his reddened eyes gave him away. “Uncle Richard, let us talk to her!”“Stop messing around, both of you. Sit down and wait. I’ll tell you as soon as there’s any news.” Richard pried their hands off his shirt, which was dangerously close to being torn apart. His sister was still alive, but at this rate, his clothes wouldn’t make it through the night. “Call me the second you hear anything. I’ll be waiting.”Tonight, there wo

The hallway fell into an instant silence.Zac took one look at Justin’s injuries and said, “You need to get checked out. We’ll stay here and wait for her.”Justin was covered in sweat and grime, his clothes stained with blood, his back in even worse shape. Yet, he didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He just stood there, refusing to leave until he saw Haley come out of that operating room. He needed to make sure she was okay. Seeing this, Zac grew anxious and tried to persuade him. “If Haley wakes up and sees you like this, she’ll be worried. Do you really think she’d want the man who saved her to be covered in wounds himself? Come on—”Before he could finish, Zac yelped. “Ow—ah!” It was Helen. Her hands had latched onto his waist, fingers digging into his side as she leaned in and hissed through gritted teeth, “My sister wouldn’t worry about him! Do you even hear yourself? If you don’t know what to say, just shut up! He got hurt? Good! He deserves it!”She might have kept h

Zac sighed helplessly. “It’s not that I don’t care. It’s just that yelling her name won’t make a difference right now. The nurse already said she’s in surgery.”The two had met up at her house. Tonight, Helen had canceled their date because she wanted to go to the airport to see her sister and nephews off. But after waiting at home for what felt like forever, Haley still hadn’t returned. The security team and the car that had transported her paintings had arrived a long time ago—yet there was no sign of her.Helen had been growing increasingly anxious when Richard suddenly came across a breaking news video online—footage of a car explosion. The moment they saw the images, they instantly recognized the two figures in the video: Haley and Justin. Helen panicked and was about to rush out the door when Zac called. He had seen the news too. Knowing she would be too emotional to think straight, he had driven straight to her place to pick her up.As soon as they arrived at the hospi
