Chase sat nearby, glancing at his uncle. Was he really not afraid that Helen would come back and make him pay for this? Richard smirked. “Afraid? Please. She’s tattled on me to Mom plenty of times. Consider this payback.”Huh? His eyes suddenly narrowed at a suspicious transaction.* Meanwhile, back in the hospital room, Zac and Haley were brainstorming solutions. “What’s done is done. Let’s focus on fixing it. What does your mom like? We’ll go buy something for her now.” As her future son-in-law, he couldn’t show up empty-handed. It was also time for him to have a proper conversation with her family about their marriage. Depending on Helen’s mood, they could even set a date to meet. “You and Zac should just go out, clear your head, and buy whatever you like. Don’t forget to pick up a phone for me while you’re at it—and get Mom a little something, maybe some specialty gifts or diamond jewelry. Once you see her, say a few nice words, soften her up, and this will all blo

Justin lowered his gaze slightly, then walked over and handed his phone to Haley. “Is there anything you want to buy? The password is six fives, same for the bank card.” He really was clueless when it came to women. For the past few days, all he had done was set up the TV for her, completely forgetting that online shopping could have helped pass the time. “Does your mother like diamond? There’s a jewelry auction next month—I’ll take you. Pick whatever you like, and I’ll pay for it.” He was trying so hard to do something right, but no matter what, there would always be gaps in his efforts. “You don’t have to do this.” Haley looked at him, her expression unreadable. “You saved me. I should be grateful. How could I spend your money?” Her voice was calm, but distant. “You’ve taken care of me these past few days, and I truly appreciate it. But I’m doing much better now. I don’t need anyone looking after me anymore.“You’re busy with work. You should go back to th

Evelyn had specifically named her and Zac to pick her up. She had arrived too fast. Helen hadn’t even had time to mentally prepare. Now, she sat in the car, wearing a face of pure misery, completely silent. And it was all Richard’s fault! That big-mouthed traitor! His mouth was looser than an old woman’s baggy sweatpants!He just had to spill everything. Zac squeezed her hand, comforting her. “Relax. I’m the one being evaluated here. What are you so nervous about?” His impression of Evelyn was still based on five years ago, when she and Helen had visited the hospital while Haley was sick. Back then, she carried an air of authority, but overall, she had seemed kind and easygoing. Helen turned to look at Zac, watching him focus on driving—completely unaware of the reality that was about to hit him. She silently mourned for him. Outside of her role as a mother, Evelyn was the one person in their family that no one dared to cross. Even Wilfred—the stron

By the time the car pulled into Mistletoe Villa, it was already 2 a.m. In just two more hours, the sun would rise. Evelyn stepped out of the backseat, while Helen waved goodbye to Zac. “Come here.” Evelyn’s voice was cold and composed. “Oh.” Helen quickly responded, obediently walking over to her mother’s side. Just as they were about to head inside, she suddenly remembered something. “Mom, we bought gifts for you! Zac, hurry and bring them over.” Zac hesitated for a brief moment. Now wasn’t the best time. Evelyn might be speaking politely, but there was still a distant formality in her demeanor. It would be better to wait until they had spent more time together—then the gift would have a stronger effect. But since his wife had spoken, he had no choice but to listen. He opened the trunk, took out the carefully chosen presents, and brought them over. Evelyn glanced at them briefly but made no move to accept them. Nor did she signal for the guard

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.”

“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

“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

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

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
