"Why did you do this?" Sidney's gaze remained fixed on Fawn, his confusion still gnawing at him.Tears welled up in Fawn’s eyes as she cried, "It’s her! She’s the one who ruined everything! If it weren’t for her, you would have agreed to marry me! I wouldn’t have to go through with this arranged marriage. I hate her!"Sidney’s frown deepened. "It wasn’t her. She never tried to stop anything. I was the one who didn’t want to marry you.""Why?" Fawn’s voice trembled with disbelief. "Why didn’t you want to marry me? When I proposed it, I saw you hesitate. You were considering it! Why would you change your mind?" She stared at him, convinced he was lying, that he was defending Maria.Sidney released her hand, his tone calm. "I have ambitions, but I’m not willing to sacrifice my marriage for them. It’s as simple as that."Fawn shook her head, her voice almost pleading. "I don’t understand. It would’ve been a fake marriage! Why wouldn’t you agree? How could you not?"Sidney replied firmly,

Ian Ford was the son of the real estate tycoon.Fawn tightened her grip around her glass. After a moment, determination flashed in her eyes. She raised the glass, downing the last of her drink, and said, "Fine, I’ll take the risk!"Marrying Ian was certainly better than ending up with that disgusting old man.Her friend’s gaze flickered slightly before handing Fawn an address.Without hesitation, Fawn went straight there.It was a private club. A bodyguard stood at the door of the suite. She walked up confidently, saying, "I’m Fawn Powell."The bodyguard, clearly aware of who she was, stepped aside and opened the door for her.Inside, the room was dimly lit, and Fawn couldn’t immediately see if anyone was there."Hello? Is anyone here?" she called out.There was no response. She took a few cautious steps forward when suddenly, someone lunged from behind, grabbing her tightly."Ah!" Fawn screamed, instinctively struggling, but her resistance was cut short by the sharp prick of a needle

Sidney's expression faltered slightly before he replied, “Just focus on getting better. I can handle everything else.”“Oh really?” Ruth frowned. “And what about a wife? Can you handle finding one? Are you going to solve that?”Sidney remained silent.Ruth sighed, her tone turning serious. “Sidney, you’re not getting any younger, you know. By the time I was your age, I already had you, and you were running errands for me. It’s time you started thinking about settling down and having a family."With little else to occupy her time in the hospital, Ruth spent her days chatting with other patients. Her roommate, Jackie Warren, already had two grandsons who visited her every evening, lifting her spirits so much that her health had been steadily improving. Right now, Jackie had just gone out for a walk with her grandsons, leaving Ruth feeling envious.Sidney listened quietly, peeling an orange. When he finished, he handed the slices to Ruth.She took the orange but didn’t let up on her co

A few days later, Sidney received a call from his mother."Hello, Mom? What’s wrong?" Sidney asked, stepping out of a restaurant where he had just finished a meeting with a client.Ruth’s voice sounded concerned. "I’m not feeling well. You should come over right away."Hearing this, Sidney immediately grew anxious. Flagging down a cab, he asked, "What’s wrong? Have you called a doctor?"Ruth brushed it off. "Oh, I don’t want to explain everything over the phone. Just come quickly."Before he could ask more, she hung up.Sidney’s expression tightened with worry as he leaned forward and said to the driver, "Sir, please hurry."Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the hospital. He rushed into the hospital room, only to find his mother sitting on the bed, laughing and chatting with a young woman. There was no sign of her being unwell.Sidney froze for a moment, his concern still evident, as he rushed over to her. "Mom, where are you feeling unwell?" he asked, quickly scanning her for any

Sidney pulled out his business card and handed it to Diana. "I currently run an architectural design studio."Diana accepted the card, noticing the name "Starlight Design Studio" printed on it. The card also had Sidney’s contact information, and a smile tugged at her lips as she tucked it away.“I’m currently working in the product development department at Tudor Group,” she said with a hint of pride in her voice.It was hard to get a position at Tudor Group—only the best survived the rigorous rounds of interviews.Sidney gave a slight nod. "Tudor is a good company."Diana looked at him and asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"Sidney, however, replied, "Miss White, we’re here. This is the supermarket."Diana’s brows furrowed slightly at his avoidance of her question. Why didn’t he answer her?Still, she reminded herself not to rush things. If she seemed too eager, he might get the wrong impression about her. So, she decided not to press the matter further.Sidney also went into the stor

Diana glanced back and noticed that Sidney had already walked off. Her expression darkened. “What is with this guy?”Did he not realize today was essentially a setup for them to meet? His attitude was downright dismissive—so disrespectful!Feeling frustrated, Diana turned and left....Sidney had walked a few blocks when his phone rang. Seeing it was his mother, he answered.“Hey, Mom.”Sidney’s tone was calm but distant.Ruth’s voice came through quieter than usual. “Sidney, what do you think of Diana?”Sidney sighed. “Mom, I’m not in the mood to date right now. Please stop trying to set me up.”Ruth’s voice grew sharp. “I didn’t ask if you want to date! I asked what you thought of Diana. Stop dodging my question.”Sidney pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling cornered. “I don’t have any particular thoughts about her.”Ruth pressed on, “Do you think she’s pretty? Is she your type? Answer me directly, and don’t try to change the subject!”Sidney, clearly exasperated, said, “Yes, sh

The next day, when Sidney arrived at the studio, he noticed a gift box sitting on his desk.Puzzled, he asked, “Where did this come from?”Alex appeared again, grinning. “Ms. Maria brought us all gifts. She’s back.”“Maria’s back?”Sidney was a bit surprised—she’d returned quietly, without any fanfare.He opened the box to find some local specialties from South City, the sweet scent of floral pastries filling the air. His expression softened slightly.Alex, ever the gossip, sidled up next to him. “So, Mr. Troy, how’s it going with that girl? Are you two together yet?”Sidney frowned. “What girl?”“Don’t play dumb. We’ve all seen her—the pretty one who loves wearing floral dresses. Even Ms. Maria knows about her,” Alex said, eyes twinkling with amusement.Sidney’s brows furrowed further. “She only got back yesterday, how could she know?”Alex chuckled. “I told her! She seemed a bit surprised, to be honest.”Sidney paused, then asked, “Did she say anything?”Alex thought for a moment. “S

Maria held her cup of fruit tea, sipping slowly, her expression calm as she replied, “Don’t joke around like that. What if your brother already has someone he likes?”“He doesn’t! I can guarantee that!” Tiana immediately countered. “He’s a total blockhead. There was once a girl who tried to pursue him, and he asked her how she did on her physics exam. I couldn’t believe it!”The girls around burst out laughing.“Wait, so what? Does she need to outscore him in physics for him to even consider her?” one of the girls teased.Tiana rolled her eyes. “No, no! If she did better than him, he’d start giving her the problems he couldn’t solve. If she didn’t, well, she wasn’t even qualified to help him solve anything.”"Wow, sounds like your brother's pretty tough to deal with," someone remarked.Tiana waved it off. "That was years ago. He’s grown up now—he's not like that anymore."The group fell silent for a moment, absorbing the absurdity of Tiana’s brother.By 3 PM, the plane landed.The girl

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
