“Alright, since you can handle it yourself, I won’t interfere. I still have patient rounds to do. I’ll take Helen with me and get back to work.” With one hand pushing the medication cart, Zac took Helen’s hand with the other, leading her out of the room. Helen yanked her hand free. “If you’re busy, go be busy. Why are you dragging me along? I need to stay with my sister!” Her voice trailed off as she was pulled out the door. “Zac, are you trying to create opportunities for those two?” Helen suddenly realized in the hallway. Seeing that she had caught on, Zac shook his head in denial. “Of course not. Your sister still hasn’t fully recovered, and you never stop talking all day. It affects her rest. One person keeping her company is enough.” “But that person shouldn’t be Justin! If I can’t take care of her, we can hire a nurse.” “That’s just a waste of money. Didn’t Justin wrong your sister? Let him play nurse and make up for it. He can’t just get off scot-free, can h

That evening, Zac drove Helen home after dinner. The car pulled up on Mistletoe Street, and Helen unbuckled her seatbelt, ready to get out. “Bye-bye. Don’t forget to pick me up tomorrow morning.” “Got it.” She stepped out of the car and headed inside. The moment she pushed open the door, she stopped in her tracks. Seated on the living room couch were four men—Wilfred, Richard, Chase, and Alex—all sitting upright with tense expressions. The atmosphere was heavy, especially with the pressure radiating from Wilfred. Helen walked over. “Wilfred, you’re home early today.” Wilfred explained calmly, “Work wasn’t too busy today.” Richard, however, scoffed. “Oh, please. You’re practically living at the hospital these days. Do you even care if our brother gets off work early or not? I bet you’re ready to make the hospital your new home.” Helen swung her purse at him. “What do you mean ‘my home’? I’m staying there to take care of my sister, keeping her company at the

“The first article and everything that followed were all paid for by Emma. She hired the media to write them. As for the comments smearing my sister, aside from a few people jumping on the bandwagon, ninety percent of them were bots. The accounts funding those bots also had direct financial transactions with the people writing the hit pieces.” “Emma!” Helen gritted her teeth in fury, clenching her fists. “I knew it was her from the start! I called it!” “I wasn’t the one who uncovered this. It was Chase—he was the first to notice the unusual activity online.” Richard shifted his gaze to Chase, who was sitting quietly to the side. “Well done,” Wilfred praised. Chase pursed his lips, his cheeks flushing slightly as he lowered his head. Compliments still made him a little shy. “Look into Emma Xander. Dig into her connections and go through every detail of her bank records.” Wilfred’s expression darkened. He never dismissed conflicts between women as trivial. When jealousy

Early the next morning, two figures—one large, one small—lay sprawled across a soft, pink bed, fast asleep.The annoying ring of an alarm echoed through the room, relentlessly urging Helen to wake up. Still half-asleep, she lay slumped across the bed, eyes shut, blindly reaching around for her phone. “Hello?” Her voice was groggy and thick with sleep. “Babe, time to wake up. I’m about to head out to pick you up.” Zac, wide awake and full of energy, stepped out of his house and headed toward his car. “Okay, I’m getting up now.” “Wake up properly. I’ll be at your place in twenty minutes. You probably won’t have time to eat at home, so I’ll bring breakfast.” “Got it.” As soon as the call ended, Helen flipped over and buried her face in the pillow, stealing a few more minutes of rest. Meanwhile, Alex—whom she had carried into her room last night—woke up before her. Sitting up on the bed, he rubbed his sleepy eyes with his hands. Seeing his aunt still asleep, he

Zac quickly apologized, coaxing her, “It’s my fault. I’ll find a chance to get rid of him one of these days.” “That’s more like it.” Helen, satisfied with his response, dropped the issue and reminded him again, “And don’t you dare tell Justin about Alex!” “You can trust me. My lips are sealed.” This wasn’t something he should be the one to reveal. If anyone was going to tell Justin, it had to be Haley herself or Justin would have to figure it out on his own. Zac had no intention of meddling in their affairs. At most, he would offer a little assist from the sidelines. When they arrived at the hospital’s underground parking lot, the two grabbed their things and headed upstairs. Inside the director’s office, Zac and Helen sat on the couch, eating breakfast. “Mmm, this bun is really good. How many did you buy?” Helen asked, enjoying the taste. Then, suddenly remembering her sister, she quickly retied the plastic bag. Haley probably hadn’t eaten yet. She should take

Elena took in the scene before her, her hands unconsciously clenching inside the pockets of her white coat. “Zac is with this woman? Why?” she wondered. Didn’t he have a severe obsession with cleanliness? How could he be sharing utensils with her? Elena had just returned from a medical conference out of town when she heard rumors that Zac had a girlfriend. At first, she didn’t believe it. But now she had seen it with her own eyes. Their families had been close for generations. For as long as she could remember, she had known Zac. As a child, she used to run after him, calling him ‘big brother.’By the time she reached her teenage years, her feelings for him had deepened. In her mind, she and Zac were childhood sweethearts. She had followed in his footsteps every step of the way—both in academics and career. Wherever he studied, she worked hard to get into the same school. When he went abroad for university, she followed. But sadly, while she longed for love, h

“Helen, did you hear what your husband just said?” Helen shot a glare at Zac. How dare he throw her under the bus? Zac leaned in close, lowering his voice to whisper in her ear, “All the negative online posts have been taken down, and related keywords are blocked. It’s fine now.” “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Helen frowned. She had just been worrying for nothing. “I’ve been too busy and forgot to mention it.” “Ahem!” Haley suddenly coughed loudly, interrupting their hushed conversation. “Whatever you two lovebirds are whispering about, save it for when you’re home. It’s broad daylight—have some shame.” “Hehe…” Helen chuckled awkwardly before slipping over to her sister and linking arms with her. “Sis, Zac and I just got our marriage license not too long ago. The wedding hasn’t even been planned yet, so we were thinking… we’d love for you to design our wedding rings.” She had meant to bring it up before, but between the art exhibition and the car accident, she ha

“You guys go ahead and talk. I’m stepping out for a bit.” Justin addressed the three who were still chatting and laughing before rising to leave with William. They walked into the empty hospital room next door. “Mr. Yates, here are the investigation results.” William handed over the folder in his hands, his face devoid of emotion—like a machine programmed solely for efficiency. “The person who attacked Miss Haley is a ‘gun-for-hire’ from Southeast Atlantis. He likely hasn’t left the country yet. I’ve stationed men at potential smuggling routes. If he tries to flee, we’ll apprehend him immediately.“But monitoring highways between provinces is beyond our reach.” That was under government jurisdiction. If the hitman remained within city limits and didn’t attempt to flee abroad, capturing him would be far more difficult. Justin studied the grainy image on the report. Southeast Atlantis was a place full of chaos and danger. After a moment of thought, he spoke. “Find

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.”
