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 felt a sudden tightness in her chest. She glanced at the group of girls nearby. They looked anxious and uneasy but still glanced at Gavin with curiosity and anticipation. She scoffed silently. “What’s so special about him anyway?” “You all can head back now.”Disappointment flashed across their faces in varying degrees as they turned and left. Once they were gone, Jolie turned to Gavin. “Mr. Cooper, I think it would be better if you gave me a clear set of criteria. Searching blindly like this is unlikely to meet your expectations.” “You don’t need to go through all that trouble,” Gavin replied, extinguishing his cigarette in the ashtray. His gaze remained calm as it settled on her. Jolie seemed to anticipate what he was about to say and quickly added, “I don’t find it troublesome. Just tell me your requirements.” Gavin said nothing, his eyes heavy as they lingered on her. Here we go again,” she thought.That familiar oppressive aura washed over her. She wasn’t h

    Jolie clenched the hem of her dress, her gaze fixed on the man before her. In the dim lighting, his sharp, handsome features seemed even more intimidating. He had an air of absolute control, effortlessly seeing through her every thought. Even with no expression on his face, it felt like he was silently mocking her for overestimating herself. Taking a deep breath, she asked, “Will one time be enough?” Gavin’s eyes were calm and unreadable as he replied evenly, “If it hadn’t been for me that night, you would’ve been utterly humiliated in the Cooper estate. The Quin family’s reputation would’ve been ruined.” Jolie’s composure shattered. She frowned and glared at him, her tone laced with annoyance. “So, Mr. Cooper, are you just taking advantage of the situation?” Still calm, Gavin said, “You’re the one who offered to repay me.” That one sentence rendered her speechless. With a sigh of defeat, she slumped onto the sofa, refusing to look at him. “Fine. Just tell me—what will it

    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.

    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

    "I’ll wait for you to come back," Jolie said softly before hanging up the call. The phone let out a soft beep, and the beautiful girl on the screen disappeared. Gavin frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flickering across his face. She ended the call without letting him say anything. But as he replayed her soft words about waiting for him, the irritation quickly faded. When his assistant walked in, the first thing he noticed was Gavin staring at his phone, an unreadable smile tugging at the corner of his lips. The assistant froze, momentarily feeling as though he’d seen a ghost. Blinking hard, he looked again. Phew! It must have been his imagination. Gavin still wore his usual cold and impassive expression. "Mr. Cooper, these are the proposals submitted by the planning department," the assistant said as he placed the documents on Gavin’s desk. "Mm," Gavin acknowledged, immediately opening the files to review them. "Mr. Cooper, I’ve also finalized your schedule for

    It sounded so much like Jolie! The thought stunned Rosalie. Jolie had a boyfriend, and she got sent abroad because of him. How could she possibly be in contact with Gavin, let alone on a video call with him? Still, an uneasy suspicion gnawed at Rosalie. If she could just take one glance at the woman in Gavin’s video call, she could put her mind at ease. Gathering her courage, Rosalie lifted her head and looked in Gavin’s direction, her gaze fixed on his phone. The next second, a figure stepped in front of her—Gavin’s assistant. With a cold stare, he blocked her view. Startled, Rosalie’s face turned pale. By now, Gavin had already entered his office. The assistant looked at Rosalie, his voice icy. “What are you trying to do?” “I-I…” Rosalie hadn’t expected to be caught so quickly. Her heart leapt into her throat as she scrambled for an excuse. “I just wanted to check if Mr. Cooper needed anything.” “That’s not your job,” the assistant replied firmly. “You may be the

    Aveline held Joy in one arm and looked at Selena, asking, "What are you doing?" Selena replied, "Do you know what I just saw?" Aveline shook her head. "No idea." "Hickeys!" Selena pointed exaggeratedly to a spot on her neck, saying, "Right here. And I don’t think it’s just one spot. There’s probably a lot more below. Tsk tsk!" She clicked her tongue twice, shaking her head as she added, "Who would’ve thought Mr. Cooper could be so... ravenous." Aveline was amused and said, "Well, it makes sense. After all, he's already thirty, never had a girlfriend, and now that he finally does, of course, he’d go all out to spoil her." "Go all out to spoil her..." Selena drew out the words, mimicking her tone as she leaned in closer. "Ave, you’ve really been corrupted by Lucas, that scoundrel. You never used to talk like this." Aveline responded matter-of-factly, "I’m the mother of two now. What’s there to be embarrassed about?" "Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Selena made a playful, teasing expr

    The corners of Gavin’s lips curved into a faint smile.The subordinate giving the report froze, his eyes widening in shock.What on earth?!Did he just witness that?Their notoriously serious and unsmiling boss—especially during work—had just smiled. In the middle of a meeting at his phone.Several others in the room noticed it too. Their gazes darted between each other in silent but frantic communication.What’s going on?Did Mr. Cooper just smile? At his phone? During a meeting?“Is he… dating someone?” everyone thought.“Ahem!”Gavin’s assistant cleared his throat, immediately breaking the silent chaos. First, it was a warning to the staff to rein in their imaginations, and second, it was a subtle reminder to Gavin, who was typing a reply.Even the assistant couldn’t help the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.Who would have thought?The president of Cooper Enterprises, a man known for his iron will and unshakable focus, was texting his girlfriend during a meeting… and smilin

    Rosalie said, “That must be tough for you. But why did Uncle and Aunt suddenly decide to send you abroad?” Jolie’s eyes flickered. So, her parents hadn’t told their relatives the real reason? How typical.Of course, they’d be too embarrassed to admit it. Shipping their daughter abroad just to force her to break up with her boyfriend? What a humiliating thing to confess. Jolie replied calmly, “I wanted to study abroad to gain some experience. It’s for my future photography exhibition. I still have a lot to learn.” “Oh, I see,” Rosalie responded, feigning understanding. Then she added, “Where are you staying? If I get the chance, I’ll come visit you.” “There’s no need, but thanks for thinking of me,” Jolie said lightly. “I’ll only be gone for a year. I’ll be back before you know it.” Rosalie smiled on the other end. “Alright then. If you need anything, just let me know.” “Sure.” After a few more polite exchanges, the call ended. Rosalie stared at her phone, gripping it

    "Beep! Unlocked!" The electronic voice of the fingerprint lock sounded unusually clear in the quiet night. As soon as Jolie stepped through the door, Gavin wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into a warm embrace. His hot breath cascaded down onto her ear and neck, making her breath hitch instantly. She didn’t even have time to take off her shoes before she was swept up into his arms. His kisses were relentless, stealing her breath and unraveling her control as her emotions rose and fell with his every move. Before she knew it, she was seated on the entryway cabinet. Her dress had been pushed up to her waist, and her legs were forced to cling to his lean waist. His fingers trailed over her skin, leaving traces of his presence wherever they went. “Mm…” A soft whimper escaped her lips as his kisses marked her skin. Each mark, blooming like crimson flowers against her fair skin, painted a vivid contrast on her porcelain complexion. The room remained pitch dark, but
