Chapter 1074

Author: Faith Shaw
Michael, somewhat reluctant, pulled Zoe aside. "Zoe, I really like you. No matter who you are, I like you just the way you are."

Zoe, though not Nash’s biological aunt, had become highly regarded by him after the recent turmoil at York Corporation. Nash now treated Zoe as his own family. This was evident from how Zoe had become involved in the company’s advertising campaigns.

Michael had worked hard to build a connection with her and wasn’t about to let it slip away. But Zoe was unaware of his intentions; to her, Michael just seemed outdated in his thinking.

She glanced at Nina for help, but before she could react, Michael cupped Zoe’s face in his hands. Startled, she immediately pushed him away.

Nina let out a scream and rushed over to Zoe, clinging to her while crying hysterically. The tears and cries made it seem like Zoe had truly broken her heart.

"You can’t be with him! I won’t allow it! You promised me. You said you’d never leave me…" Her voice trailed off as she choked on

    Sally did not spare Xavier a glance. She had no interest in the affairs of York Corporation. Xavier chuckled. "Mrs. York, I wouldn’t be here without a reason. Haven’t you heard? There's been a major shake-up at York Corp. Nash has gotten rid of all of the previous CEO’s people. The company is truly his now."Sally responded with a nonchalant "Oh," without adding anything more.Undeterred, Xavier continued with a smile. "Mrs. York, if York Corporation were still under the old leadership, you wouldn't be stuck in a place like this. I heard you wanted to go abroad, but financial support has been an issue. And honestly, that's all because Nash has monopolized everything.""What are you getting at?" Sally finally spoke, but her expression remained calm.Xavier, no longer able to contain himself, leaned in and whispered a few words.A small smile crept onto Sally's lips. "Alright, I'll leave the arrangements to you, Mr. Wright."Xavier was so delighted that he nearly jumped for joy,

    "You’re so thoughtful," Sally said with a hint of emotion. "To be honest, I almost forgot about that myself. Yes, I did once dream of settling in Ponyville, but..." She trailed off, leaving the rest unsaid, but everyone understood.Nina handed her a gift box with a smile. "Let’s not dwell on anything unpleasant. This is a gift we prepared for you. Take a look and see if you like it."Sally opened the box and was shocked to find a set of keys and a property deed inside. Her surprise only deepened when she realized the deed was for a home in Ponyville. Tears welled up uncontrollably.Nina stepped forward to comfort her. "You can choose anyone you want to accompany you, and we’ve already taken care of the medical team. Nash has made sure everything is arranged."Zoe was stunned. She had suspected Sally’s sudden family gathering had ulterior motives and had been worried Nash might lose out. But now it was clear. Nash never lets himself get taken advantage of. The promise of a home in

    "The driver already said it was one fare. Just count it as mine, no need to pay me back," Michael said as he paid for the ride. After getting out, he walked around to open Zoe’s door.Nina arrived just in time to witness the scene. Without thinking, she rushed over and stood protectively in front of Zoe. "You two are together?" She sounded genuinely jealous, which made Zoe flash a thumbs-up in appreciation.Michael chuckled softly. "Nina, should I call you Mrs. York or Miss Nina?"Both Nina and Zoe froze. It turned out Michael had known the truth all along, but he had been pretending to be clueless. Zoe had no desire to deal with him any further, so she grabbed Nina and headed into the building, ignoring him completely."Zoe, I’ve told you, I like you. No matter how you treat me, I’m not giving up. You’ll be mine, no matter what!" Michael’s voice echoed in the lobby, drawing the attention of nearby employees. Recognizing who they were, whispers quickly spread.Zoe dismissed his

    After taking a few sips, Zoe immediately knew something was wrong. With her usual tolerance, there was no way she should feel this dizzy and unsteady. The drink was spiked. Michael had done it.Realizing this, Zoe moved closer to Leo next to her and asked, "Leo, did you drive here? I'm suddenly feeling unwell. Could you give me a ride?"Leo quickly exchanged glances with Michael and nodded. "Sure, I haven't had anything to drink," he replied, guiding her out. While Zoe wasn’t looking, he signaled Michael to follow. Michael exited through another door and got into the car ahead of them.When Leo opened the car door, Zoe spotted Michael sitting in the front passenger seat. She frowned. "Why is he here?""Oh, he's a friend of mine. We came together. Since I'm leaving, I thought I'd bring him along. Don't worry, I'll drop you off first," Leo explained, trying to sound reassuring.But his words only made Zoe more alert. She pulled away from him, backing up cautiously. These two wer

    "No need," Nash said calmly. "So, Eugene from the Lowe family is back in Birkham."As the man turned away, Nash recognized him. Eugene Lowe was the carefree and unrestrained son of the Lowe family who had spent his youth wandering the world. He had grown up a lot since then.The Lowe family was known for their strict upbringing. While they didn’t demand their children become outstanding, their character had to be impeccable. Nash believed Eugene wouldn’t harm Zoe. And even if he did… A thought crossed Nash’s mind, and a sly smile appeared. If something did happen, he wouldn’t hesitate to pressure the Lowe family into marrying Zoe off to him. Forming an alliance with the Lowe family wouldn’t be a bad thing after all."But Mr. York," his subordinate continued, "the drug they gave Miss Zoe is a powerful sedative. It's one of the strongest out there."Nash’s eyebrow twitched slightly at that. Could something really be happening?At the hospital, Eugene stood outside the emergenc

    Eugene took the breakfast from the butler, carefully opening each container and setting them on the small table. His meticulousness surprised the butler. "Mr. Lowe, let me handle it," the butler offered. He was trying to gauge whether Zoe was really Eugene's girlfriend or just someone brought in to appease Eugene’s grandmother, Mrs. Lowe Sr.Eugene saw through him instantly and immediately put on a stern face. "What, I’m taking care of my girlfriend, and you want to take over? Have you forgotten my rules just because I’ve been away all these years?"The butler quickly backtracked. "Of course not. I only wanted to be of service. Since you're handling it, I'll take my leave."With a wave of his hand, Eugene dismissed him and sat by Zoe’s bedside, feeding her soup."Careful, it's hot. This chicken soup is full of nutrients. If you ever want more, just let me know, and I'll have them make it for you. Whatever you want to eat, I'll make sure they cook it.""Promise? You better not be

    Zoe shot a reproachful glance at Nash. Nina, aware of the matchmaking gathering, patted Zoe’s shoulder comfortingly. "Alright, Nash had good intentions that just went wrong. You must not have slept well. Go take a nap, and I'll cook something nice for lunch to treat you.""You're the best," Zoe said, giving Nina a quick kiss on the cheek before happily running upstairs.Nina noticed an unusual glint of amusement in Nash's eyes, almost like a shrewd hunter savoring his strategy. She wrapped her arm around his and leaned in closer. "Mr. York, is there something good you're not telling me?"With Nina in his arms, Nash couldn't resist. He pulled her in for a deep kiss, leaving her breathless."Are you going to tell me or not?" she demanded, a bit flustered at how easily she still lost her breath during a kiss.Nash leaned in and whispered in her ear, "The one who saved Zoe last night was Eugene Lowe."Eugene Lowe? Nina thought for a moment before remembering the Lowe family. He w

    Mr. Zook was visibly shaken by Nina's intense gaze. If not for his years of sales experience, he would have lost his composure. After a long pause, he forced a smile and leaned closer to Nash in an attempt to curry favor. "Mr. York, I'll have to trouble you with this shipment. I'm really out of options this time.""I recall you used to work with the Lowe Group. Why aren’t you partnering with them anymore?" Nash didn’t beat around the bush, going straight to the point and waiting for an answer.Mr. Zook’s face fell, and after stumbling over his words for a moment, he let out a heavy sigh. Nash immediately grew suspicious. Something was off in this partnership. He gave Nina a glance, signaling her to look into it.Right then, Nina’s phone rang. It was Orion’s teacher."Excuse me, I need to take this call," she said, stepping out of the meeting room. She answered the phone politely, "Hello, this is Orion’s mother, Nina. What can I do for you?""Mrs. York, could you please come to

    But instead of feeling touched, Vera’s first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Vera’s face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. “Are you feeling sick?” “I don’t think so. I’ve been eating normally—nothing too heavy or weird lately.” Vera clutched her stomach, just as confused as he was. Then, a possibility flashed through her mind. Caleb clearly had the same thought. Without a word, he turned and walked into their bedroom, returning moments later with a pregnancy test. Vera looked at him, stunned. “When did you buy that?” He responded matter-of-factly, “Better safe than sorry.” Vera was momentarily speechless. Five minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. It was positive. They had only been married for three months. How did this happen so fast?Caleb, on the other hand, remained composed—at le

    Of course, Vera wasn’t about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. “You’re twenty-five this year, right?” Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasn’t her age common knowledge? Why was Vera suddenly bringing it up? A thought struck her. Was this an arranged marriage situation? Her face immediately filled with silent refusal. “Miss Vera, I’m still young. I’m not thinking about marriage anytime soon.” Vera tapped her pen against the desk. “I’m not telling you to get married.” “Oh.” “I just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You don’t have to run every minor document by me.”Her assistant instantly understood. A raise. After confirming she was on board, Vera gave her a salary bump and had her hire a few more assistants to distribute the workload. “If I don’t have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If something’s too complicated, jus

    Vera could sense danger the moment the conversation turned in this direction. Her father had never questioned her about married life, and she was lucky enough to avoid nosy relatives. But just because she hadn’t experienced it firsthand didn’t mean she hadn’t seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. “I... uh, need to use the restroom.” Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. “You and Caleb aren’t getting any younger,” she said matter-of-factly. “You should start thinking about kids—make sure you’re putting in the effort, hmm?” Vera left the kitchen visibly drained. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful mother-in-law, the kind who treated Vera like her own daughter. Despite knowing Vera came from a well-off family, she had still gifted them a house as a wedding present. Of course, Caleb already owned a place, but his mother had insisted. “That’s your house. This is the home I’m giving you as a weddi

    That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Caleb’s gaze—subtle yet impossible to ignore. It was the kind of look a powerful man might give his beloved in an old Hollywood film. And right now, the photographer felt like the unlucky bystander who had accidentally stumbled upon an intimate scene. His voice wavered slightly, caught up in his own imagination. “Mr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.” Caleb’s sharp gaze flickered over, intense and commanding. The photographer instinctively pressed the shutter. They continued with several more poses, reviewing the shots as they went. Vera loved them all, but her favorite was still the vintage-inspired one. “How long until we get the final prints?” she asked. “Two to three days at most,” the photographer replied. “I’ll have them shipped directly to you.” Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. “I actually have a personal favor to ask—would you both be open to letting us displa

    Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photos—several sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasn’t just any photo studio. It was privately booked and known for being one of the most prestigious studios in the city. Appointments here were nearly impossible to get. The fact that Caleb had managed to secure a session meant he had gone to great lengths to make it happen. If they were just going to take ordinary wedding pictures, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Still, she wasn’t sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. “You can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles we’ve done.” Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning concepts—each picture more breathtaking than the last. Then, one particular set caught her eye. A Golden Age Hollywood theme.It was classic, nostalgic, and beautifully atmospheric. “Ca

    After the wedding, Vera considered taking some time off for a honeymoon. But the thought quickly faded when she realized Caleb had been practically living at the hospital. With a sigh, she dismissed the idea. She was used to it, but to say she wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. “Mrs. Smith, don’t you want to go on a honeymoon?” she asked one day. “One of my friends just got married, and she’s been obsessively researching destinations. “She even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.” Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. “Why don’t you go visit Dr. Smith at work?“You seem… distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.” Vera snapped out of her daze, suddenly aware of how preoccupied she had been lately. It was embarrassing to admit, but she had been zoning out far too often—especially after coming hom

    Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonight—he didn’t hold back at all. He took her from the bedroom to the bathroom, then back to the bed, his searing kisses trailing every inch of her skin. The next morning, even as she woke up, Vera could still feel the lingering traces of last night’s intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasn’t until two days later that she finally returned to work. *Everyone at the company had already prepared for this. The moment Vera walked into the office, she was greeted with knowing smiles and teasing remarks. “Congratulations, Mrs. Smith!” “Newlywed bliss, huh?” “Three whole days off? Someone had a good time.” It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally well—so well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

    Yelena still hadn’t accepted Hunter, but he wasn’t giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelena’s soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friend’s love life wasn’t something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. “She came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,” he had mentioned casually. “Hunter was the one who brought her.” Vera had clicked her tongue at the news. Yelena always seemed quiet and reserved, but apparently, she was full of surprises.*Time flew by in the blink of an eye.By mid-month, Caleb had rented out an entire vineyard and spent several days transforming it into the perfect wedding venue.When the day arrived, the celebration took place right there.The vineyard was sprawling and elegant, every bit as grand as any luxury hotel—if not better. Even the wine cellar remained untouched, stocked with years-

    “Did you plan this from the start?” Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. “Mm.” Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yes—he had always been planning this. The biggest change in Vera’s life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasn’t just any ring. It was custom-made, something Caleb had specially ordered. She only found out by accident when she glanced at his phone one day and saw the purchase record. It had been ordered two months ago. Vera did the math and was stunned. He had been preparing for this long before she even started getting impatient. Her heart swelled with emotion. And as soon as Caleb’s parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Caleb’s mother lecturing him. “Your dad and I weren’t expecting much from you.
