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

Ben casually handed Jamie the keys, his tone light. “I have no use for it.”Though it sounded nonchalant, it was true.Jamie hesitated for a moment before accepting the keys. Having a car of her own wasn’t a bad idea. It would make it easier to get Charlie to and from school without always relying on Ben for transportation.“Well, since you won, the Gem Harbor project is yours now,” Tim announced unexpectedly.The surprise left Jamie stunned, while Ben remained composed, as if he had anticipated this outcome. He exchanged a few polite words with Tim and then led Jamie back to the car.On the drive, Jamie couldn’t help but ask, “Did you know this would happen?”“Know what? That Tim’s event was a cover for vetting partners? If not for that, do you think he’d bother hosting a party just to play games?” Ben’s calm gaze flicked toward her, his tone matter-of-fact.His air of confidence made it seem as though everything had unfolded exactly as he planned. Jamie nodded, falling silent

When Jamie reflected on how long it had been since she had any time to herself, she felt a pang of realization. Glancing at Ben beside her, she suddenly understood why he had orchestrated this brief escape. They stayed an extra day in Bay City before flying back. Ben, though silent about his concerns, clearly couldn’t shake his sense of responsibility for the company. Jamie, on the other hand, was preoccupied with thoughts of Linda and Charlie. The moment Charlie saw her, he lit up. “Mommy, you’re home!” He leapt into her arms, causing Jamie to stumble a little as she tried to catch him. “Charlie, be careful,” she said with a laugh. “Mommy can’t keep up with you anymore.” Charlie, realizing his mistake, stepped back sheepishly. “I’m sorry, Mommy.” “It’s okay, sweetheart. As long as you’re healthy and happy, that’s all Mommy needs,” Jamie reassured him. After settling back in, Jamie noticed a surprising improvement in Linda’s condition. Filled with hope, she took L

Jamie was stunned, her shock coming in waves over a few sentences. “So, how did Noah become part of the family?”“He’s more like an adopted son of the Lucas family, though very few people know about it,” Ben replied, his brows furrowing slightly. It was clear he had been kept in the dark about this, too.Mr. Lucas had done it for one reason which was to give Ben a rival, a grindstone to sharpen his edge. The result? Neither Ben nor Noah could truly be considered the winner.Jamie felt a flicker of concern. Putting herself in their shoes, she couldn’t imagine discovering that someone she had been competing with for years had only been placed in her path as a tool for someone else’s agenda. She would be furious. Anyone would.She was about to offer some comforting words when Ben spoke up, his tone surprisingly calm. “If this had happened in the past, I’d already be on my way to confront him. But now... oddly enough, I’m not angry.”“Why not?” Jamie’s heart skipped a beat at his un

A female employee with dark circles under her eyes spoke up quietly, “Jamie, have you ever been scolded by Mr. Lucas?”Jamie instinctively replied, “No…”The moment the word left her lips, she regretted it. As expected, everyone’s eyes lit up with curiosity, and they swarmed around her, pestering her for tips on avoiding Ben’s wrath. Jamie, clutching her laptop, bolted out of the office like her life depended on it. “Too dangerous,” she thought to herself.The office was no longer a safe haven for her. Still holding unfinished reports, Jamie decided to retreat to a quiet lounge to complete her work. But as she entered, she froze. Ben was already there, sitting with his laptop, his piercing gaze lifting to meet hers. Jamie instinctively stepped back, “Oh, sorry, wrong room.” “Jamie,” Ben called out, his tone firm, “have you been avoiding me?” Jamie’s heart raced, unsure of how to respond. Ever since Ben’s heartfelt words a few days ago, her emotions had been

Ben had wrapped up his work at the Lucas Corporation, but instead of taking a breather, he went straight to Jamie's home. Jamie hadn’t gone to the office that day. She was busy tidying up and preparing to pick Charlie up from preschool. After mopping the floor, she changed into fresh clothes, ready to head out. That was when Ben arrived. He took one look at her neatly dressed appearance, strode over, and gently clasped her hand. “Perfect timing. I wanted to take you somewhere, and since you’re already ready, we can leave now.” “Does it have to be today?” Jamie hesitated, unsure of what he had in mind. To her, nothing was more important than picking up Charlie. “I was actually planning to pick Charlie up. You can come with me and stick around for a bit. I think it’ll be good for you to spend some time with him.” Jamie had been mulling over when to reveal Ben’s true identity to Charlie. The sooner the two spent quality time together, the easier it would be for Charli

The atmosphere had already been set so perfectly that if Jamie continued to hesitate, it would only come across as overly coy. Left with no better option, she decided to go along graciously.With the shop assistant's help, Jamie soon changed into the mermaid-style wedding dress. As the curtain was pulled back, Ben's eyes lit up instantly. He had always known Jamie was beautiful, but seeing her in the wedding dress took her beauty to an entirely new level. His throat bobbed slightly, and he said with heartfelt admiration, “Jamie, you’re stunning.” “You two are such a perfect match. It’s like this dress was custom-made just for you,” the shop assistant chimed in enthusiastically. Jamie glanced at the mirror and couldn’t help but admit the dress did look amazing on her. If she and Ben were really getting married… No, she shook the thought away. She couldn’t think like that. Their relationship wasn’t anywhere close to that point. “Would you like to try on a few more s

Summer's sharp gaze bore into Jamie like daggers. Without warning, she reached out, intent on yanking the wedding dress right off Jamie. But Jamie wasn’t someone to be pushed around. She grabbed Summer’s hand and gave a firm shove, sending Summer stumbling backward. Losing her balance, Summer almost hit the floor. “Jamie, how dare you lay a hand on me?” she snarled.In Summer's mind, Jamie had always been meek and submissive in front of Ben. Now, emboldened by his favor, she had the audacity to fight back. Not only had Jamie "stolen" Ben, but she had also won over his mother, who no longer favored Summer. The indignity of it all burned like acid in her veins. Consumed by rage, Summer lunged at Jamie again, but Jamie easily sidestepped her. This time, Summer went down hard, sprawled on the floor. Summer, the pampered daughter of the Larson family, had never been humiliated like this. Her high status once earned her the admiration of Mrs. Lucas. But now, thanks to Jamie, her life

“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
CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery Chapter 1974
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
