Inside the bathroom, there was still no response. Daisy’s expression darkened. She quickly pushed the door open and was greeted by the sight of Jolie sitting on the closed toilet lid. She hadn’t cleaned herself up at all, still looking as disheveled as when she’d just woken up. When she noticed Daisy enter, Jolie even curved her lips into a faint, mocking smile. Her eyes sparkled with blatant defiance. "You!" Daisy’s face turned stormy at the sight. She marched in, glaring down at Jolie. "What do you think you’re doing?" Jolie met her gaze and replied calmly, "Rebelling. Can’t you tell?" The words tasted bitterly ironic as they left her mouth. She couldn’t bring herself to do anything truly harmful to the Quin family, but all she could manage was small, petty acts of defiance like this—pointless provocations. It was ridiculous. Maddening. And deep down, she hated how powerless she was to change anything. Daisy’s gaze hardened, taking on an air of authority. "Jolie,

Jolie was placed under house arrest and confined to her room. Meals were delivered by the housemaids three times a day, and she wasn’t allowed to step out, not even once. Yet, she didn’t resist. It was as if she’d completely given up. Her days were spent in an endless cycle of eating and sleeping, embracing her apathy. A month passed. One day, a maid entered the room holding a pregnancy test kit. Jolie was curled up on the sofa playing a video game. When she saw it, her brows instantly furrowed. “What’s this for?” The maid kept her head down, her tone cautious. “Miss Jolie, Madam Daisy instructs me to give this to you.”Jolie tightened her grip on her phone, her lips curving into a mocking smile. “No need for that. Go back and tell her nothing happened between me and Gavin Cooper. I won’t be pregnant.” The maid nodded quickly. “Yes, Miss Jolie.” But not long after, Daisy arrived herself. Her gaze swept over Jolie’s unkempt appearance, her expression hardening with a co

Selena went out for a spa day with Aveline, but as soon as they stepped into the salon, they unexpectedly ran into Jolie. Jolie exuded an air of indifference, her entire demeanor laced with a lazy sort of detachment as if nothing in the world could pique her interest. She wore oversized sunglasses, her expression hidden, but her complexion looked far from well. “Miss Jolie, what a coincidence,” Aveline greeted her with a polite smile. Jolie glanced over, giving a faint nod, but didn’t bother to say anything more. Selena frowned slightly at the interaction. Before long, a staff member ushered Selena and Aveline into a private room. As soon as the door closed, Selena couldn’t help but comment, “What’s going on with her?” “Hmm?” Aveline turned to her, confused. “Are you talking about Jolie?” "Of course. Look at her! She looks like a ghost has sucked the life right out of her," Selena said, her voice a mix of concern and curiosity.Aveline’s lips curled into a knowing smile.

Selena smiled faintly. “Yeah, I know.” “What’s next?” Aveline asked. “I'm hungry. Let’s grab some food,” Selena replied. “Sure.” … At the Quin family villa, the courtyard had been meticulously decorated, exuding an air of elegance and beauty. Luxury cars arrived one after another, parking neatly in the driveway. Young men dressed in tailored suits stepped out, each looking more polished than the last. Terence and Daisy stood at the entrance, greeting guests with broad smiles. When familiar socialites arrived with their sons or daughters in tow, Daisy would step forward to exchange pleasantries, her charm on full display. Between conversations, Daisy stole a glance at the time. Noticing that Jolie hadn’t come down yet, a barely perceptible frown flickered across her face. After whispering something to Terence, she headed back into the villa. Inside, servers dressed in crisp shirts and vests moved gracefully among the guests, balancing trays of drinks and hors d'oeuvr

Meanwhile, in a car parked along the roadside not far from the Maybach, Aveline spotted Gavin and was visibly surprised. "Why is my brother here?" Selena glanced at her and replied, "The Quin family invited him, but I guess the invitation didn’t reach you." Aveline fell silent for a moment before saying, "That’s not what I meant. My brother never attends these kinds of boring events. This is the first time I’ve seen him at something like this." "Really?" Selena raised an eyebrow, intrigued. Aveline nodded. "Yes. He usually only goes to business receptions, charity galas, or summits—events that are serious and, frankly, dull." Selena’s eyes suddenly lit up as a thought struck her. "Do you think he’s here for Jolie?" Aveline rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "It’s possible. It looks like after their last encounter, my brother’s gotten hooked." "Pfft!" Selena couldn’t help but laugh, her mood lifting considerably. Aveline chuckled and asked, "So, are we going in?" Selena sh

Jolie didn’t like the way Gavin’s gaze lingered on her. It was heavy, oppressive, and carried an intensity that made her inexplicably tense and uneasy. “Mr. Cooper, aren’t you busy these days?” she asked, attempting to shift the atmosphere. “Not too busy,” he replied, his tone flat and indifferent. Jolie was speechless.How could someone be so adept at killing a conversation? Still, for the Quin family, he was a distinguished guest. She couldn’t afford to appear impolite or neglectful, or her parents would never let her hear the end of it. Being grounded would be the least of her worries. Yet, she didn’t want to engage with Gavin more than necessary. For one, she didn’t like him. He was rigid, dull, and utterly devoid of emotional value. And for another, she refused to play into Daisy’s obvious plans. It was clear that her parents wanted her entangled with Gavin, but she had no intention of letting that happen. Caught in the push and pull of these conflicting feelings

Gavin raised his hand and downed the champagne in one smooth motion. Passing by a server, he casually placed the empty glass on the tray without breaking stride. His expression remained cold, unreadable as he said, “I want you.” “What?” Jolie stared at him in disbelief, instinctively taking a step back. But as she retreated, he advanced, his movements subtle yet exuding a quiet dominance. Forcing a strained smile, she said, “Mr. Cooper, you must be joking. I admit, you helped me before, and I’m grateful, but that doesn’t give you the right to make such an unreasonable request. I’m sorry, but I can’t agree to that.” “You’re trying to go back on your word,” Gavin stated plainly, his tone as unyielding as his gaze, as though he could see straight into her thoughts. His accusation made Jolie feel inexplicably guilty as if she were the one at fault for being dishonest. A tinge of embarrassment crept over her. He was making her look like someone who couldn’t keep her promises.

“What is it?” Daisy asked curiously when she saw Jolie suddenly approach. “I need to step out for a bit,” Jolie replied. Daisy frowned, clearly displeased. “But the banquet isn’t over yet.” Jolie hesitated, not wanting to explain, but she knew that without mentioning Gavin, Daisy wouldn’t let her leave so easily. “It’s for Mr. Cooper,” she finally said. At once, Daisy’s expression lit up with delight. “Oh, in that case, go ahead! Handle it well, and don’t let Mr. Cooper down.” “Got it,” Jolie said with a nod, before turning and heading upstairs. While she made her way up, Gavin informed Terence that he was leaving. Terence, eager to make him stay, tried his best to persuade him otherwise, his demeanor deferential and eager. Having Gavin attend the banquet was an immense honor, and Terence was desperate to keep him there as long as possible. However, Daisy recalled Jolie mentioning she needed to leave for Gavin’s sake, and something clicked in her mind. “Well, let’s n

Jolie stirred, her eyes fluttering open in the dimly lit cabin. The sharp, handsome features of the man before her were so close that she could feel the warmth of his breath. His lips, carrying his familiar scent, gently traced hers, as if torn between waking her and letting her sleep. Her breath hitched, a brief moment of confusion washing over her. Gavin noticed and, in response, pressed a firm kiss to her lips. "Did I wake you?" "You did that on purpose," Jolie replied, her voice soft and husky from sleep. "Mm." Gavin didn’t deny it, his tone unapologetic as he leaned down to kiss her again. Still groggy, Jolie found herself caught off guard, his lips capturing hers with a growing intensity. By the time she realized what was happening, he had deepened the kiss, his tongue teasing and tangling with hers in an intoxicating rhythm. Her breath quickened, and she instinctively pushed against him. Gavin pulled back, only to trail kisses along her cheek and down her neck, his

The night air was cool, a gentle breeze slipping through the car window and lifting the strands of hair framing her face. They fluttered across her vision, briefly distracting her, yet she could still clearly see his eyes. At that moment, the unease and uncertainty stirring in her chest melted away, replaced by an inexplicable sense of calm. It felt as though there was nothing he couldn’t handle. As long as he wanted to. Jolie smiled softly and said, "Alright." When they arrived at the private airstrip, the captain came forward to exchange a few words with Gavin. Standing nearby, Jolie watched and couldn’t resist asking, "How long will you be staying?" Gavin glanced at her. "How long do you want me to stay?" The overly intimate tone of his words, spoken with such casual ease, caught her off guard. Her cheeks flushed immediately—especially since there were others around to hear it. Lowering her gaze shyly, she murmured, "You can stay as long as you want." She turned he

Gavin looked at her, his gaze steady, and replied in a calm voice, "You’ve got the leverage to do it." Oh... Jolie’s heart skipped a beat, her pulse momentarily thrown off rhythm. What was this feeling? It was as if someone was spoiling her, cherishing her unconditionally. Even though it was just a simple conversation, it carried a warmth she couldn’t ignore. For a moment, she realized that what she once thought was affection and care had been nothing but an illusion. A smile unconsciously curved on her lips as her eyes lit up. "Does this mean I can walk around Larbor City like I own the place?" Gavin raised an eyebrow. "Are you a crab?" Jolie burst into laughter, her mood instantly lifted by his quick-witted remark. Her earlier irritation dissipated, replaced by lightheartedness. Whether or not he meant it, the fact that he sided with her made her happy. "I’m full. Should we head out?" she asked, her appetite long gone after everything that had happened earlier.

The girl stared in disbelief, her hands clutching her face. "You hit me?" Jolie blinked innocently at her. "Weren’t you the one insisting I hit you earlier? I just gave you another slap to match your story. You should be used to it by now." "Jolie Quin!" Ian had reached his limit, his voice full of anger as he glared at her. "Apologize to her!" Jolie glanced at him, her expression calm but icy. "Get lost." She had thought he might be reasonable, but clearly, he was blinded by infatuation. She had no patience to deal with him any longer and turned to leave. Before she could take a step, Ian grabbed her arm roughly. "Jolie, you’re not leaving without apologizing! I don’t think I’ve ever wronged you, have I? We used to get along just fine, didn’t we?" "Let go," Jolie said, her brows knitting in disgust. She hated being touched, especially by someone she considered beneath her. Ian tightened his grip, his hand digging into her arm hard enough to cause pain. "Jolie, yo

Jolie was completely baffled, a string of question marks running through her mind. But when the girl suddenly dropped to her knees, it genuinely startled her.She quickly reached out to help her up. "Get up first. We can talk properly."Before Jolie could react, the girl grabbed her hand and slapped herself hard across the face with it.Smack!The crisp sound echoed in the quiet hallway, leaving Jolie frozen in shock."Why did you hit me?" The girl, who had just been crying like an innocent damsel in distress, now clutched her face and loudly accused her. "Ian and I are the real couple! You’re the one coming between us. How could you hit me?"Jolie blinked, completely dumbfounded, as the girl’s voice rang out.A few passersby paused, glancing over to witness the commotion.Meanwhile, Ian, who had been waiting and wondering why his girlfriend hadn’t returned, came looking for her. The scene he walked into—his girlfriend on the ground, crying and accusing Jolie—made him stride forward,

The person in the hallway glanced at her briefly but quickly looked away, as though she were a stranger. Jolie’s hand, lifted halfway to wave, stalled in mid-air.What... was that? Gavin noticed her reaction and asked in a low voice, "What’s wrong?" "Nothing," Jolie replied, shaking her head and brushing it off. The man outside was Ian. Pretending not to know her was probably his way of avoiding unnecessary trouble—after all, they had already "broken up." The door to their private room shut completely, and Gavin hadn’t seen Ian or his group. He turned back to her and asked, "Do you come here often?" "Yeah," Jolie nodded. "I come here a lot with friends." So, this was one of her favorite hidden gems. The fact that she was willing to share it with him felt significant somehow. Gavin caught himself lingering on that thought and was momentarily taken aback by his own reaction. He kept his expression neutral, not letting on what had crossed his mind. The food arrived qui

The reason it wasn’t the same was simple—her plan would fall apart if she got caught.Of course, that wasn’t something she could admit.Jolie simply said, "I just don’t want any unnecessary complications. Since you’ve already arranged the flight, let’s just leave directly."Gavin’s dark eyes fixed on her for a moment, but he didn’t press the issue.It was clear she didn’t want to talk about it any further, so he let it drop.When the elevator doors opened, the two of them walked out together. A car was already waiting at the entrance. Gavin, ever the gentleman, opened the door for her.The car pulled away from Cooper Enterprises, and Gavin asked, "What do you want to eat?"Jolie, busy typing on her phone, replied, "I know a good restaurant."It was a cozy place she loved, one she often visited with her friends."Alright," Gavin replied, pulling out his phone to respond to some emails. With his work condensed into such a tight schedule, he seized every spare moment to handle it.Jolie p

Gavin suddenly recalled Wilfried's words, "That girl doesn’t even like you."Lowering his gaze slightly, Gavin pushed the thought aside without explanation, his expression remaining cool and indifferent as he watched her. After Jolie finished looking through the photos, she turned to him and asked, "Why do you have pictures of all these women?" "My father brought them over," Gavin replied. "Oh." Jolie nodded knowingly and didn’t press further. It was easy enough to figure out—the Cooper family obviously wanted him to consider an arranged marriage, so they sent over these photos for him to choose from. She could understand that. In fact, she even helped him look through them, just in case one of these women turned out to be a good match for him. After all, their relationship wasn’t meant to last forever. When he grew tired of her and she had her fun, they’d part ways, and everything would return to normal. As she neatly organized the photos and placed them back on the ta

It was Jolie’s first time visiting Cooper Enterprises, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of curiosity about the place.No, to be precise, it was her first time stepping into any corporate office. The Quin family also had company, but she had never visited, nor had Daisy or Terence ever asked her to.The private elevator for the CEO was stunningly opulent, its polished surface gleaming like a mirror, perfectly reflecting their images. Jolie’s heart began to race with an inexplicable excitement.The assistant glanced at her and said with a warm smile, "Miss Quin, there’s no need to be nervous. Mr. Cooper will definitely be delighted to see you."Jolie nodded and replied, "I’m not nervous."The elevator moved swiftly, and as they neared the executive office, Jolie adjusted her cap and mask, pulling them snugly to hide her face as much as possible.Meanwhile, near the adjacent employee elevator, Rosalie was holding a stack of files, ready to head downstairs.She froze the moment she s
