“She’s absolutely disgusting! How can someone this manipulative and toxic call herself an artist? Who even started hyping up her paintings?”“Emma Xander is so pitiful. Not only did she lose her baby, now she’s lost her boyfriend too.”“And she had the audacity to attend an art exhibition in Haven State? Why should someone like her be allowed to make money here? She should be kicked out!”“She deserved that car explosion—too bad it didn’t kill her!”“Get her out of Haven State! We don’t want her here!”At Mistletoe Villa, Chase and Alex were sitting on the couch, scrolling through their phones when they stumbled upon these comments. Alex’s little fists clenched tightly, his chubby face turning bright red with anger. “This is so infuriating! How can they say that about Mommy?! She would never push anyone!”Meanwhile, Chase didn’t just see the five-year-old video. He also picked up on other key details.“Wait… wasn’t RC Corporation’s CEO Uncle Justin? Mommy had known him five y

“Alright.” Richard agreed. This was a great chance for Chase to sharpen his skills. “What about me?” Alex asked, watching as they divided up tasks. He wanted to help too. Richard glanced at him. “You? You should focus on learning first. Once you master all of this, you’ll be able to help us too.”Alex’s shoulders slumped, feeling useless for the first time. “Why am I just a little kid who can’t do anything?” he wondered.He thought for a moment, then straightened up. “Then I’ll go to the hospital and take care of Mommy! Even if I can’t help with this, I can at least help her get better faster!”“You better not even think about it,” Richard immediately stopped him. “There are probably paparazzi swarming outside the hospital. If you show up now and get photographed, it’ll only make things worse for your mom. The media will have a field day twisting the story against her.”“Oh…”Alex’s disappointment deepened. “So I really am useless… I can’t do anything except cause trouble,” h

Zac knocked and stepped inside. The first thing he saw was the two sisters chatting, with Helen casually peeling an apple for Haley. A little surprised, he found an excuse to pull his wife aside. “You’ve been by your sister’s side this whole time, right? She hasn’t seen anything online, has she?” Helen was practically glued to the internet—there was no way she hadn’t seen the news. She shot him a glance, feeling both worried and furious. This whole mess was obviously aimed at her sister.It had to be Emma’s doing.She didn’t have solid proof, but the smear campaign against Haley had conveniently cleaned up Emma’s image at the same time. If it wasn’t her, then who else could it be? Her instincts screamed that it was definitely her.“My sister’s phone was destroyed in the explosion, and she hasn’t had time to get a new one. I didn’t let her use mine either.” She pursed her lips, frustrated beyond belief.If it weren’t for Justin being around, she would have already tak

Originally, Heidi hadn’t cared much about who her son was with—she just didn’t want Emma in the picture. But now, Justin was dead set on Emily. What was she supposed to do about that? “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll earn her forgiveness and be with her again!” And if she never forgave him, then he would spend his entire life making it up to her. Because in this world, she was the only cure for his pain.“Sigh… Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t stop you.” Heidi shook her head. “You’ve always been stubborn. Once you set your mind on something, nothing can change it. Now that you’re older and more mature, that hasn’t changed one bit.”Justin’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Thanks, Mom.”“Don’t thank me. Just bring her back already—and while you’re at it, give me some grandkids! That’s what really matters!”“Alright, got it!” he agreed without hesitation. Since his mom was eager to hold a grandkid, when the time was right, he would find a way to convince Haley to le

If it weren’t for delivering one final blow, for making sure Emily ended up in the grave, she wouldn’t have bothered coming to the hospital at all.Each fragrance in the bouquet had a specific effect. One could trigger asthma and irritability. Another could cause heightened alertness and insomnia. A third could make people feel dizzy and lightheaded. To a healthy person, it would seem harmless, just an overly fragrant bouquet. But for someone whose lungs were already damaged from inhaling poison, it would only make her condition worse.One wrong breath and she would be dead before sunrise. See? How "thoughtful" she was toward Emily. *Heidi and Justin also caught the overpowering scent of the flowers. Justin immediately frowned. The doctor had specifically warned them—until Haley fully recovered, she shouldn’t be exposed to anything with a strong fragrance, including flowers. He parted his lips, just about to refuse, but Heidi spoke first. “Keep the

Emma had never traveled abroad before. Her family couldn’t afford it, so she had been thrilled about this trip. But just as luck would have it, Justin’s father died in an accident back home.Rumors spread like wildfire among their classmates. “Now that Henry Yates is dead, Justin’s position as heir to the corporation is as good as gone. His uncle’s son is definitely taking over.” Emma had been too young and naïve at the time. She believed every word. She began to resent Justin.He had no money and no status anymore. Why should she waste her youth on someone like him? That would be a complete waste of her life. As fate would have it, she met a wealthy foreign businessman on the cruise ship. They hit it off immediately. He was charming. He was more sophisticated than Justin. Most importantly, he was rich—and he showered her with expensive gifts. That was the moment she made up her mind.She would be with this man instead. So, on the night the crui

Emma never expected that she would end up digging her own grave. The realization sent a fresh wave of rage coursing through her veins. Her voice turned hysterical as she hissed into the phone, “What the hell do you want? I’m warning you, this is Haven State, not some lawless country!” The man on the other end let out a low chuckle. “Relax, sweetheart. I don’t need your body.” Shifting positions, he continued, “RC Corporation is bidding on an international project. I need you to get their bid price and proposal.”“Impossible! I’m not even involved in that project. There’s no way I can get my hands on it!” Emma refused outright, her voice sharp and firm. “Can’t get it? That’s fine.”His tone was eerily casual, as if he had already anticipated her response. “In that case, I suppose I’ll just send one of your old films to Justin Yates. I’m sure he’d enjoy seeing such a young and beautiful body.“Oh, and let’s not forget Jacob Yates.” His voice dripped with amusement. “

Emma hadn’t originally planned to put Heidi on her kill list. But if she was so eager to die, who was she to deny her? Clenching her jaw, Emma gritted her teeth and used all her strength to drag Heidi toward the car. Thankfully, the underground parking lot was deserted at this hour. “Emma Xander, let go of me!” Heidi struggled, her face turning red from the effort. But it was no use. Emma overpowered her, shoving her into the car. Reaching for the heavy tool she had stashed in the trunk, Emma lifted it high and brought it crashing down onto Heidi’s skull. “E-Emma… you…” At first, Heidi could still mutter broken words. But soon, she went completely silent. Emma stood over the lifeless body, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she caught her breath. Her grip on the bloody wrench loosened, and she let it clatter onto the floor beside Heidi’s head. Her legs felt a little shaky, but she quickly regained her composure. Opening the driver’s side d

Haley shook her head quickly, flustered. “No… I mean—no.” Then she realized how that sounded and corrected herself. “Actually, yes. I’m just hot.”Helen blinked in confusion. “Hot? The classroom has air conditioning. Was the sunlight from the window hitting her seat?” Helen wondered.Without missing a beat, she rushed over and tugged the curtains tighter, making sure her bestie didn’t get “sunburned.” She still needed Haley to hold onto that top spot. Otherwise, she would lose her excuse at home for going out to “study” with Zac.The pressure and tension of senior year finally came to a close. On the day of the college entrance exam, when everyone stepped out of the test hall for the last time, their faces lit up with genuine smiles—relaxed, free, and full of relief.Haley tossed aside her textbooks. Her summer break was filled with makeup shopping trips with Helen or third-wheeling her and Zac on their study-dates-turned-real-dates.That routine came to an end the d

Haley’s eyes shifted as she thought quickly. “But… I don’t really like guys who rank higher than me on exams.”She gave a light shrug and continued, “I mean, I think we should be focusing on school right now. Relationships can wait until after we get into college, right? What if we don’t even end up at the same school? Long-distance never works, and after a while, we’d probably drift apart. Don’t you think?”Was that a gentle rejection? It seemed like it. Haley wondered if she had been too blunt. Had she left him any dignity at all?They still had a whole year of high school left together. She didn’t want things to get awkward between them. A harsh rejection would only make everything more uncomfortable.Justin furrowed his brows, thinking for a long moment before giving a single reply. “Okay.”Then he slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked off.Haley stood there, completely confused.“Okay? What did he mean by that?“Did he understand what I was trying to say?

Emma and her little clique of schoolyard mean girls had Justin completely surrounded.“I’ll ask you one more time,” she said, smug and unbothered. “Will you be my boyfriend or not?”“No,” Justin replied coldly, his face unreadable.“Hey!” one of Emma’s loyal followers stepped forward, cracking her knuckles and getting way too close. “Do you even know who our Emma is? She’s the heiress of the Xander Corporation. She’s giving you a chance, and you should be grateful. You better say yes.”“What, you want us to beat you up before you agree?” another girl sneered.Justin didn’t flinch. His icy stare locked onto the girl who spoke, completely unbothered by the threat.Emma waved a hand to hold her crew back, pretending to be generous. Then she turned to Justin again, cocky and bold.“I like you way too much to have anyone rough you up,” she said sweetly. “But I heard you’re trying to get into Altiplano University in the capital. Here’s the deal—if you go out with me, I’ll have my dad

As soon as Justin sat down and pulled out the textbook for the next class, a hand suddenly reached out from beside him.“Hey, I’m Zac White,” Zac said.Justin glanced up with a cold look, then went right back to pulling out his notebook and pen—completely ignoring the extended hand.Zac awkwardly pulled his hand back, speechless.“Man… this guy’s seriously cold. What a show-off,” he thought to himself.The class flew by. When the bell rang, signaling the end of the period, Haley and Helen linked arms and headed off toward the bathroom. Zac immediately trailed after them.“Where are you two going? Take me with you.”“You planning on going into the girls’ bathroom, you perv?” Helen smacked his hand away, not wanting their classmates—or worse, their teacher—to get any ideas about the two of them dating.Zac scratched his nose. “Fine, I won’t go in the girls’ room… but I can go to the guys’ one, can’t I?”“Hmph!” Helen huffed, scrunching her nose playfully.Zac clutched his chest

At a top-ranked high school in Lincourt City, the bell rang.Students still lingering in the hallways or restrooms were urged to hurry back to class.Outside, the summer heat simmered, accompanied by the steady buzz of cicadas. Inside, the air-conditioned classrooms offered a much more comfortable escape.In Class 2–1 of the junior year, students hurried back to their seats. Just as the final chime faded, the homeroom teacher walked in, holding a stack of freshly graded exam papers.“For this round of mock exams,” she announced, loud and clear, “the top score in the entire grade once again goes to our very own Haley!”A wave of murmurs and applause followed. “Let’s all work hard and try to catch up to her next time!”She began handing out the papers in order, from the highest score to the lowest.After Haley got her paper, the next few went to her seatmate, Helen, and the student sitting behind them—Zac.“Work hard and catch up?” Helen muttered as she slid back into her seat, s

But what did it matter, even if she still loved him? The pain he caused her in the past was still there, lingering beneath the surface.They had loved, they had hurt, they had been entangled for years. But not every love story had to end with forgiveness and reconciliation.Haley couldn’t pretend the past hadn’t happened. She couldn’t smile and pick up where they left off, as if nothing had ever gone wrong.She would always remember that street in Merika State, when Justin turned away, picked Emma up in his arms, and left her standing there alone.Even if he had mistaken someone else for her, the pain he caused and the love he failed to give were real.And that wasn’t something she could ever forget.She could make peace with the past, but she could never erase it.Her heart ached, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she turned and walked away.*Years later, Haley passed away peacefully in her bedroom at the estate.That same day, Justin had gone out to the grocer

It was just a shame that life rarely worked out the way people wanted it to.*Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.Chase and Alex had grown taller and older. Haley’s once-small jewelry brand had not only found its place in the industry—it had grown into a globally recognized luxury label, known for bespoke, high-end pieces.As for Justin, he split his time between Haven State and Merika State. Whenever he wasn’t busy, he would shamelessly camp out at the estate, claiming he was just there to “see the kids.”Eventually, no one even bothered to call him out on it anymore.One day, Haley had a business meeting with a potential partner—a widowed single father. Somehow, Justin caught wind of a rumor that the man had feelings for Haley and was actively pursuing her. Word had it that she was interested too, and they were currently having dinner together at a restaurant.The second Justin heard that, he canceled a company meeting, boarded his private jet, and flew straight to Mer

As soon as Haley stepped into the room, Justin followed right behind her.It was the first time he had ever set foot in Haley’s room—the space where she lived in Merika State.“Get out!” she snapped.“Haley, I just wanted to see you. Please don’t make me leave, okay?”His eyes scanned the room. The walls, the shelves—everything was filled with Haley’s photos. There was even a custom-built glass display case, clearly made with love, housing her pictures from childhood to adulthood. It was something Evelyn had put together just for her, and it overflowed with affection.There were portraits of her alone, family pictures, and right at the top—photos of Chase and Alex.Justin looked at each one carefully, as if he were trying to piece together a life he hadn’t been part of, but desperately wished he had been.Then his gaze landed on a particular photo: Haley in her teens, wearing a soft pink-and-white hoodie with little bunny ears on the hood. Her pale skin, big round eyes, and brig

“Haley…” Justin’s voice was weak. There was so much he wanted to say, but he didn’t even know where to start.“I heard you’re sick?” Haley said.“I… I’m fine. I’m not really sick, I just—”“Take care of yourself. Heart problems aren’t like other illnesses. Just look forward. Let go of the past. Meet someone new. Live your life.”Justin fell silent. His head dropped, and the phone pressed against his ear was clenched so tightly in his hand that his knuckles turned white. He wrestled with the words for a long moment before finally managing to force out.“Okay.”But he knew. He wouldn’t meet someone new. Without Haley, what kind of life could he possibly call “living”?The call ended. Life went back to its quiet rhythm. Justin no longer clung to Haley or tried to find her. After one more day in the hospital, he threw himself back into work and took over the reins of RC Corporation.They had truly managed to part on peaceful terms.After returning to Merika State, Haley d
