The two of them tacitly understood each other and did not say much more. Nina returned to her room to pack her things. With Xander's funeral over, it was time to go back."Nina," Julia suddenly walked in. Nina stopped what she was doing and turned around. "Mom." Julia sat down beside her, wanting to talk to her about something. Nina sensed it and sat next to her. "Mom, what's wrong?""This time, Nash came, did not he?" Julia said. "Yes." Julia turned to her. "Weren't you two talking about divorcing soon? But this time he came over to help you, it doesn't seem like a divorce. If you're both planning to divorce, there's no need to trouble him."They did not want to owe Nash too much, and it would be unclear how to repay him later. It was not a good situation."We came back to our hometown without telling Nash. I'll thank him later," Nina said. "Why does he still want to help you?" Julia did not quite understand. "If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you married the r

Lily hesitated for a long time. For her, ensuring that Xander could rest in peace underground was the right thing to do. She could not let him die in vain. "Nina, we've paid a heavy price for Xander's affair, and we've also suffered." These days, Lily seemed to have aged suddenly, with a few white hairs on her head. "I apologize for the harsh words I said to you during the funeral. I wasn't being rational. Now, as long as we can find the person who killed Xander, I'm willing to do anything.""Lily." Nina called out. "Those things are in the past, and I will not hold them against you. We still have to live our lives. We need to look forward and not dwell on the past. I'll find a solution for Sue's internship. Even though she can't work at the York Corporation, I won't let her suffer."This was the best outcome for them. Nina had better connections than them, so they would not lose out."Thank you, Nina." Lily smiled with relief.Sue also chimed in, "Nina, thank you."Returning to

The lady boss of the nightclub called.They had not been in touch for a long time, and Linda wanted to share the good news with her.After answering the phone, she happily said, "Hey, Boss, I'm doing great now. The child is healthy, we're living in a big house, and we have people taking care of us. Especially the child's dad's mother really likes me. I'm sure I'll be better and better in the future."But the lady boss sounded anxious on the other end: "Linda, I called to tell you that something has happened. The police came asking about you. Did you do something wrong?"Hearing this, Linda's face changed drastically: "The police are really looking for me?""Yes, they're asking about you. I don't know what's going on..."Before the conversation could finish, Linda hung up the phone.Everyone knew she lived at the York residence. The police would soon come here.She could not let them catch her, so she had to leave. She rushed out in a hurry, unable to say where she was going, an

The inherent aura of a young lady from a well-to-do family. Such nobility was unattainable by others. She envied them, those born as winners. Even though she had a pretty face, she could only work as a hostess in a nightclub. Looking at herself in the mirror, Miranda's lips curved slightly as she asked, neither cold nor indifferent, "What are you here for?""Save me, the police are after me," Linda said, still filled with fear. Terrified at the sound of police sirens, she knew only Miranda could save her."Ruby, step out first. I need to talk to her alone," Miranda instructed her assistant."Okay," the assistant replied and left the room. Now, it was just the two of them and a pile of dress samples. There was also a balcony nearby. Linda sat on a chair by the balcony, with a coffee table beside her, holding a cup of warm tea to warm her hands, speaking anxiously, "I have nowhere to turn now. The police will definitely catch me. I don't want to go to jail. I don't want..."Miran

Linda saw her gaze, completely different from the warmth when they first met. Her face changed drastically. "You're using me!"You deliberately said those things to me, deliberately made me do it, and then you washed your hands of it. The wicked one is you," Linda accused. Miranda deliberately befriended her, bought baby clothes for her, and then said those things to her to make her eliminate her troubles. Miranda wasn't really kind to her. She was pushing her into the abyss. If she got rid of Nina, and she went to jail, Miranda would be worry-free."You're such a good actress!" Linda exclaimed in agitation. "You pretended to like me so much, pretended to be good to me, pretended to be kind, pretended to be generous."Miranda calmly sipped her tea, these words of accusation were just praise to her. "Now you still want to harm my child," Linda said, clutching her stomach, shaking her head. "You can't tolerate my child with Nash. You're such a wicked woman!"She looked around. "N

Even in death, these obsessions lingered. She thought she could rise to power through the child. With a child, she would have security. Motherhood would ensure her status. But it was all just a fleeting dream.After saying these words, Linda stopped breathing, her eyes wide open, refusing to close. She died with her eyes open. When the police came down again, Linda was already dead. They cordoned off the area. Miranda was escorted down by the police. Her hair was disheveled, her face pale, covered in blood. Tears were still swirling in her eyes and she looked terrified with her hands trembling uncontrollably. The police tried to comfort her, telling her not to be afraid.Tears slowly streamed down Miranda's face with her expression filled with fear. As her assistant arrived, she hugged her and cried bitterly.When Nina, who had heard the news, rushed over, she was shocked to find it already over. All she saw was a corpse. In that moment, she was stunned. How could Linda have died

The culprit who killed Xander was gone. There was no need to investigate further or gather evidence. It all came to an end."Miss Lewis, your statement has been recorded. Please go and attend to your injuries," the police advised.The assistant chimed in, "Miranda, you're just too kind. You're injured, yet you insist on coming to the police station before going to the hospital."Miranda's eyes were red, her face worn out. "Let's not talk about it anymore. It's taken care of. Let's go to the hospital now."The assistant helped Miranda walk, who was very weak but still pushing through.They coincidentally ran into Nina.Miranda glanced at Nina and remarked, "What a coincidence, bumping into you at the police station."Nina carefully observed Miranda's injured palm and bloodied clothes. "Coincidences are rare, aren't they? Someone fell to their death, and it was from your place."Miranda paused for a moment, feigning ignorance. "You mean that girl?"She stood calmly and continued

"Quincy, hurry and take her to the hospital!" "Yes, Mr. York." Upon receiving the order, Quincy immediately complied.Miranda looked at Nash. "Aren't you coming with me?""I still have some things to take care of here. I'll come see you after I'm done," Nash replied.Knowing he would still come to see her, Miranda felt relieved. "Alright, I'll wait for you. I'll go to the hospital first."With that said, she glanced at Nina once more.Nina remained silent. Nash had always been attentive to Miranda, and now that she was seriously injured, wouldn’t he be extremely worried?There was nothing she could do but watch, feeling helpless."Are you alright?" Nash suddenly turned to Nina.Nina casually replied, her hands tucked in her pockets, "When I arrived, Linda was already dead. The police told me that if there were no other suspects, Xander's death would be closed.""Are you sure it was Linda?"Nina nodded. "Yes, it's confirmed. She's dead, and there's nothing left."Resentment

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. With how much ti
