Ben's courage, so hard to muster, deflated like a punctured balloon at Vincent's interruption.Seeing David, who had always seemed so powerful to him, now lying weak in a hospital bed, Ben lost the nerve to ask the question burning in his heart.Unable to face David, Ben fled the room in disarray.H
Without waiting for Selina's response, he eagerly continued: "Then can I get in line? When you're ready to date, will you consider me first?"Maybe by the time she was ready to date, David would have reverted to his old, uninterested-in-romance self.That way, he wouldn't be competing with David for
Ashley turned to face Selina, her eyes tinged with melancholy. "This child is mine."She neither confirmed nor denied, but the answer was clear.Selina felt a pang in her heart, affected by Ashley's gaze.Was Thomas still rejecting her? And the baby in her womb...Ashley read the confusion in Selina
Selina recalled the men in black who had come after her recently and felt a chill. "Now that I'm back, they've come for me again?""Yes and no," Thomas hadn't expected Selina to make this connection. "In fact, since your return, the Robinsons back in Lumina have been making quite a few moves."The i
David's true intentions were a mystery not just to Thomas, but to everyone in the Wilson family.Rachel had six children. Two had passed away, the youngest son had rebelliously run away and was missing, and the eldest daughter had married and moved far away, rarely visiting. Only the ambitious secon
Everything had gone too smoothly, almost eerily so.Just as Horizon Global was releasing the shareholders' decision to remove David as CEO, David was being discharged from the hospital, sitting in a wheelchair pushed by Vincent.In the accident, his most severe injury had been life-threatening inter
Selina's life had been busy but fulfilling lately. She spent her days at work and her nights studying, always on the go, falling asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.Joseph had arranged for top business school professors to tutor her privately, and he would discuss various successful business
"She's been scowling all morning like someone owes her a million dollars," Liam said, grimacing. "She dresses the part every day but doesn't do a lick of work."After nearly a month of working together, Selina knew that while Liam was gossipy, he wasn't one to judge unfairly. If he was saying this,
Startled by the unexpected silhouette in the darkness, Selina jumped, instinctively curling into a ball."It's me!" David quickly said, realizing he had scared her.Hearing his familiar voice, Selina finally let out her held breath.The next second, she pushed away David's hand as he reached out to
As for David, Selina was so angry she refused to even mention him."How did things go with William and Grandfather?" Selina asked Thomas in a low voice, noticing Daniel and Nicole seemed relaxed.Thomas, wanting to make amends, told her everything.Bruno had taken in Dominic's remaining men and disc
Selina didn't give Bruno any chance.After hanging up on Bruno, she called Olivia directly to tell her they'd be taking the earliest flight back home.Before Olivia could even understand what was happening, she found herself on the flight home with Selina.Even after they landed and got into Ashley'
Pretending he had never escaped.Thomas's smooth handling of the Meracia situation was also thanks to the information David provided."Why did you keep this from me?" Selina's fingertips felt ice cold, struck by an inexplicable feeling of betrayal.She alone had been kept in the dark, worrying about
After tossing and turning, Selina couldn't fall back asleep. After calculating the time difference, she decided to call Thomas.Thomas had just finished dealing with William's matter when he saw Selina's call. Checking the time in Japan, his expression changed slightly as he quickly answered."Selin
Worried he wouldn't believe her, she added, "You can verify right now who really controls S Tech Group."Bruno hesitated before hanging up to verify Selina's claims.He had originally planned to stay by Selina's side as David, hoping she would gradually fall for him.He believed that with enough tim
He was much more cautious now, choosing his words carefully.Selina took a deep breath, her bottom lip turning white from biting it, and finally steeled herself."Didn't you say before that you'd fed David to the fish?" she said through gritted teeth. "Now you're trying to use him to threaten me? Do
The implication was clear - if they protected Selina well, he'd overlook their failure with Bruno. If not, their punishment would be even worse.The guards quickly agreed.Watching Joseph stride away urgently, Selina had no choice but to return to the hotel under the guards' watchful eyes.She paced
Seeing Selina on the verge of losing control, Joseph quickly grabbed her arm. "Selina, stay calm. Now that we have him, unless he wants to die..."Before he could finish, Bruno suddenly broke free from his captors and made a dash for the balcony.No one expected Bruno to make such a desperate move,
