The woman’s expression flickered with unease. “Are you trying to scare me with that?”“Whether it’s a scare or not depends on your actions,” Jamie replied, her tone sharp and laced with sarcasm. “An item left unattended is a lost possession to some, but to others, it might look like bait. Since when is returning lost property a crime?”The woman’s expression darkened as she realized she was losing the argument. The murmurs from the surrounding crowd began to shift in tone.“You’re just trying to dodge responsibility!” the woman snapped, her voice growing shriller. “I’ve never seen someone so shameless. Instead of feeling guilty, you stand there acting so self-righteous.”"You’re throwing baseless accusations at my mom, and the fact that I haven’t torn into you yet shows how patient I’m being. Do you actually expect me to be polite about it?" Jamie shot her a look that practically screamed, “Are you even hearing yourself?”The woman’s breath hitched in frustration. With a clench

There were too many situations like this and she couldn’t possibly help them all. And when it came to other people’s family matters, stepping in often felt like an impossible dream.She had to take back what she said earlier. Not every mother loved her child. There were selfish and terrible mothers out there too.What worried Jamie most was how today’s incident might shape Charlie’s values. For children, character and perspective were everything. She spent the entire way home fretting, and once there, gently probed him to see how he was processing the event, ready to comfort him if needed.To her surprise, Charlie seemed far more adaptable than she had expected. He even said something that left her stunned. “I know that girl’s mom is a bad mom, but my mom isn’t, so I won’t listen to her.”Jamie was speechless for a moment before a smile of relief spread across her face. *Once Jamie’s mother’s condition stabilized and she stopped waking up in the middle of the night screaming,

Jamie initially thought everything was settled. That was, until she overheard someone mention that Noah was also taking over the Gem Harbor project. She frowned. “I thought this project was already assigned to Mr. Lucas? How can one project have two leads?” The assistant glanced nervously toward the door, then leaned in conspiratorially. “It’s the old chairman’s decision.” Jamie’s frown deepened, her thoughts flashing back to Ben’s calm demeanor over the past few days. She hadn’t noticed anything unusual. Was he truly indifferent, or was he hiding his emotions so well that even she couldn’t tell? She couldn’t make sense of Ben’s father’s intentions anymore. Her unease lingered, and she decided she couldn’t sit idly by. She went straight to Ben’s office. The moment she stepped in, Ben’s sharp eyes lifted briefly to meet hers before dropping back down to his work. “You came at the right time. I needed to tell you something. We’re flying to Bay City tomorrow for a

Jamie felt a sting in her nose, barely holding back the tears threatening to fall. Linda grew anxious, sensing Jamie’s growing sadness. She repeated softly, “Don’t cry. Jamie, don’t cry.” Hearing those familiar words brought Jamie back to her childhood. Her mom had always comforted her the same way. With tears glistening at the corner of her eyes, Jamie managed a smile. “I’m not crying.” She quickly wiped her eyes and put on a brave face. Only when she composed herself did Linda relax and release her grip. “Mom, if I sent you to a place where you couldn’t see Charlie and me as often, would you be okay with that? Would you blame me?” Jamie asked cautiously. “What place? Where would I go?” Linda’s anxiety grew, her tone turning uneasy. The sight of her mother’s distress instantly made Jamie abandon the thought. She quickly backtracked, “It’s nothing, just kidding. Don’t worry about it. Go back and play with Charlie.” Linda returned to playing with Charlie, their

Ben remained unresponsive no matter how much Jamie tried to wake him. Her hand paused mid-motion when she noticed the faint furrow in his brow. Her resolve wavered, and her heart softened, silencing her intention to shake him awake. She adjusted her posture, giving up on the idea entirely.What Jamie didn’t notice was the subtle curve of Ben’s lips, a fleeting hint of satisfaction.By the time the plane landed, evening had fallen. The day had slipped away, and there wasn’t enough time to meet with anyone. Instead, they went straight to their hotel to check in. Jamie’s room was conveniently situated next to Ben’s, while the assistant was assigned a room farther away.Later that evening, Jamie was in the shower, enjoying the warm cascade of water, the bathroom filling with a light mist. Without warning, the showerhead stopped working. She fiddled with it, hoping it was a minor glitch, but the flow didn’t resume. “A fancy hotel like this, and they can’t even keep the water runnin

Jamie froze. Though she didn’t meet his gaze, she could feel Ben’s emotions lingering in the air. Her resolve wavered, but that unspoken thorn in her heart held her back. She stayed silent, even as Ben got up and left. After that, things between them shifted, the atmosphere growing subtly tense. Even their assistant couldn’t help but notice. “Miss Lewis, is something going on with you and Mr. Lucas? You both seem...off,” he ventured cautiously. Jamie glanced at Ben, who was engrossed in a stack of documents, and quickly looked away. “Nothing at all. We’re just focusing on work,” she replied lightly. The assistant didn’t buy it, but lacking proof, he had no choice but to drop the matter. “Do you play golf?” Ben’s voice broke the silence suddenly. Jamie blinked, startled by the question. “A little, but I often miss or send the ball flying,” she admitted honestly. Ben’s lips twitched slightly, suppressing a smile. Sending the ball flying? That wasn’t “a little.”

This time, Jamie wasn’t the center of attention. The gala was unique. It was not just a gathering for mingling, but one where guests were encouraged to play golf on the green. Good performance even came with a prize.Of course, given the wealth and status of the attendees, few truly cared about the prize. Most treated the game as a lighthearted diversion. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as someone landed an impressive shot.A refined middle-aged man glanced toward the course and then smiled at them. “Mr. Lucas, Miss Lewis, would you care to give it a try on the course?”Jamie had been discreetly observing the man, quickly deducing that he must be the representative from the partner company.His invitation took her slightly off guard, but she recovered swiftly, her tone polite yet firm. “It seems Mr. Smith is indeed as rumored, a golf enthusiast. But I must admit, I lack the talent for it. I’d rather not embarrass myself out there.”Tim paused briefly, then chuckled. “Miss Le

Hearing that all-too-familiar voice, Jamie recognized him instantly. She turned to see Noah stride into the venue, his features bearing a striking resemblance to Ben’s, though his expression was laced with arrogance and defiance. Jamie’s brows knitted together slightly. It was unsettling to see a face so similar to Ben’s wear such a brazenly cocky look. It almost felt like a mockery of the man she knew so well.Tim seemed to hesitate for a moment before addressing Noah, “Ah, Mr. Noah Lucas, you’re quite late.” Everyone knowingly referred to him as "Mr. Noah," carefully distinguishing him from Ben. Noah chuckled at the implied slight in Tim’s words. “Better late than never, right? I’m still a guest, which means I have the right to join in.”Tim hesitated, wiping the light sweat forming on his brow. “Technically… yes, that’s true.” The unspoken tension in the room was palpable. Noah was clearly stirring the pot, but to what end? Seizing the opportunity, Noah took a go

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.“Haven’t I been just fine lately?“Or do you think my hand isn’t injured enough? If that’s the case, go ahead—do it yourself. “You already know I wouldn’t fight back no matter what.” Without warning, Yelena stretched out her injured hand, an act that instantly enraged Liam. “What the hell is wrong with you?” He snapped. “I was just making a casual remark. Is that really what you think of me? I already told you—I’m not going to lay a hand on you.“It wasn’t intentional before, and you know it. We both do. Stop acting like you’re above all this when we both know who sent you here.” Yelena felt a pang of sadness. They had spent so much time together, yet this was how he treated her—always choosing to hurt her. “I know—I wasn’t someone you chose, and none of this was intentional. But after all this time we've spent together...“I thought maybe I was a little different to you. But I guess I was wrong. Nothing has changed at all.

“Why do you even care about what happens to other people? Haven’t I made myself clear enough already?“Whose card is this—yours or mine?” His assistant immediately apologized upon hearing Caleb’s tone. “I hope you won’t hold this against me. I really wasn’t thinking clearly at the time—I should have considered this more carefully.” Caleb didn’t bother responding. After hanging up, he focused entirely on investigating Vera’s brother. *Meanwhile, Vera was deeply worried. If things had been somewhat under control before, now they were completely off track. The situation on both sides was far more complicated than she had anticipated. “Don’t worry. That’s exactly how it is. If you don’t want to go in person, I can go for you—but it won’t be cheap,” the private investigator said.Since Caleb had warned her about the private investigator, Vera started testing him, probing for inconsistencies. And sure enough, his story had too many holes. “Why are you so sure my b

As Caleb spoke, he looked at Vera with a hint of helplessness. After all, her hand had been injured because of Luna. “Don’t feel guilty about this. Honestly, it’s nothing to me.“And I’m not the type to carry burdens over things like this.“Besides, it’s been so long. If this had happened back then, I might have cared. But now? I just don’t think it matters anymore.” Vera’s voice was steady and sincere. But Caleb’s expression darkened. “Why would you say that? Why do you think it doesn’t matter? Do you really see me as just the same as everyone else?” For some reason, at this moment, Caleb took it personally. Vera couldn’t help but laugh. “Of course not. You’re different from the rest—so obviously, I wouldn’t see it the same way.“You’ve helped me so much. The least I can do is acknowledge that, instead of stubbornly nitpicking about what’s right or wrong, don’t you think?“Besides, whatever happened between you and Luna, that’s none of my business. It’s in

“I didn’t mean to just now. Besides, you’ve been acting all sneaky lately—so really, who else is to blame?” Seeing Yelena in tears, Liam, who had been furious just moments ago, felt a small pang of guilt. He was never good at expressing emotions. But watching her like this made him a little uncomfortable. “Go get your hand treated. Otherwise, people who don’t know any better might think I’ve been abusing you.” With that, he turned and walked away. Yelena watched his retreating figure, feeling a bit helpless. This wasn’t something she could decide on her own. Installing surveillance? It wasn’t as easy as it sounded. Liam was naturally suspicious. If he caught wind of it, the consequences would be disastrous. But she had no choice. She had a mission to complete, and there was more at stake than just this moment. Letting out a deep sigh, she finally decided to head to a clinic to get her hand treated. *“What happened to you? That’s a serious injury. You

And just like that, the conversation fell into a brief silence. Meanwhile, on the other side, Hunter received a call from Yelena. “What did you just say?” Yelena told him that her hand was broken, and on top of that, Liam seemed to be getting suspicious. She wasn’t sure what to do, so she called Hunter for advice. “I don’t really care what happens to you, but at the very least, take care of yourself.“Otherwise, if something else goes wrong later, I’ll have to step in and clean up the mess. Don’t you think so?” Hearing this, Yelena was a little taken aback. “It’s not just about my injury. The real problem is, I’m scared of what he might do now.” Sure, she had taken the two hundred thousand dollars, but she had to stay alive to spend it. At this rate, she wouldn’t even make it through in one piece. “I already told you—protect yourself. If you need anything else, I’ll try to provide it. But right now, I need you to do something for me.” Hunter had been look

“Yes, it’s in that mountain area. If you’re worried, you can go check it out yourself. But as for anything else, we don’t really have much more information.”Compared to everything else, this was the most baffling situation.“You make a good point. But given the current circumstances, I think it’ll be difficult to pull off.”Vera was speaking with the private investigator. Deep down, she was more worried than anything else.“Don’t worry,” the private investigator reassured her. “Aside from what we discussed earlier, nothing else seems too extreme. Plus, we’ve already looked into it pretty thoroughly.”By the time he finished speaking, his expression had grown more complicated.“Alright. I understand.”After hanging up, she anxiously looked straight ahead. If she had been mentally prepared before, now she was starting to feel uneasy. “What’s going on?” Caleb asked while driving, glancing at her. Vera hesitated, debating whether to tell him or not. But seeing the strange

“I only had one surgery today,” Caleb said as he drove, his voice calm but firm. “Now that it’s done, I want to know why this happened.” After that, he said nothing more. Vera sat in silence, her heart uneasy as the car pulled up in front of an upscale club. Even though her hand was already bandaged, she still felt a sting of pain every time Caleb showed concern. “So this is what it feels like to have someone care,” she thought to herself.Back when Vera had been stepped on, her only concern had been the contract—whether the deal would fall apart and if her suffering had been for nothing.If it had been anything else, she probably wouldn’t have cared as much.But Caleb’s concern made it impossible for her to brush aside.It kept lingering in her mind, refusing to let her feel indifferent.“Don’t overthink it,” Caleb said, his voice firm. “Whatever happened between Luna and me doesn’t change the fact that this concerns me too—and I owe it to you to make things right.”

“Oh? So this is the apology you wanted?” Vera’s forehead was covered in cold sweat from the pain, but the two women standing over her barely reacted. As if this was normal to them. As if humiliating her was just another game. “I asked you a question.” Vera remained half-crouched on the ground, her hand still pinned under Luna’s heel. Helena smirked. “Yeah, I’d say that’s good enough.” She hadn’t expected Vera to be this stubborn, but it didn’t matter. With an exaggerated sigh, she casually scribbled her signature onto the contract. The deal was officially secured. Vera didn’t waste another second. She cast one last glance at the two women. “I have no interest in getting involved in your personal drama. As for Caleb and me, that’s between us. We both made our choices.” Luna’s expression twisted slightly. “I won’t bother commenting on your relationship,” she said, voice dripping with disdain. “But don’t think for a second that this will ever earn

The moment Vera heard her assistant’s words, her expression darkened. Her previously calm tone turned firm. “If that’s the case, I understand. But I still have to go. This is my responsibility, and no one else can handle it.” If she didn’t take the lead, the other party would only grow bolder. However, the moment she glanced at the name on the negotiation list, she couldn’t help but frown. Because the person she was supposed to meet wasn’t just anyone. It was Helena Xander. Vera had encountered her before—back when her relationship with Caleb hadn’t yet escalated. Even then, Helena had openly mocked her, saying that since Caleb had been Luna’s devoted lapdog for years, he should know his place and never overstep. She had also thrown a few sharp words at Vera, telling her to recognize her own status—as if warning her that getting involved would only bring trouble. Back then, Vera hadn’t taken it seriously. She never thought she would cross paths with the
