Chapter 638

Author: Faith Shaw
After half an hour, the office door finally opened. As soon as the door cracked open, Nelly sensed there were people inside.

"Chief, I must treat you to a meal sometime," Miranda said, her face beaming with a smile. "Your advice today was invaluable. I really must thank you."

She never missed an opportunity to get close to influential people.

"Of course, if it's a meal with Nash around, I'll certainly be there!" the broadcasting bureau chief replied, indicating his willingness to accommodate Nash.

Nash shook hands with the chief and said softly, "Miranda is one of my artists. She'll be invaluable in many projects moving forward."

The chief chuckled and teased, "Is she an artist or your girlfriend? Nash, at this point, there’s no need to hide things from me. I understand why you'd get involved personally."

Miranda blushed slightly but maintained her composure. "Chief, you have a keen eye. When Nash and I get married, you must come!"

She clung to Nash’s arm as she spoke.

    The chief originally did not want any friction between them over this matter and planned to discuss it in detail with them. However, the director’s words made him a bit embarrassed.Nina had considered that Miranda might say something or play some tricks behind the scenes, but why did Nash get involved?Naturally puzzled, Nina said, "So it was Mr. York who had objections to our drama series."Nash’s gaze finally landed on her, but to Nina, he seemed like a stranger. After their separation, he was no longer the Nash she knew. He now belonged to Miranda."Modern dramas are scrutinized more strictly by the broadcasting authority. Themes of violence and revenge are indeed not suitable for prime time as they affect the values of teenagers," Nash said coldly, directly criticizing their series. "I think your drama shouldn’t just aim to thrill. Target audiences, especially impressionable teenagers, can be significantly influenced.""That’s impossible!" Nina retorted. "Our drama is about c

    The chief looked at Nina and her team, clearly wanting to end the confrontation quickly. Nina stopped engaging with Miranda, realizing she could not expect any answers from Nash. His actions showed he was fully on Miranda's side, making their already difficult path even more challenging.Once inside, the door closed firmly behind them. Miranda grumbled, "She's just trying to curse me, wishing me ill!"Then she turned to Nash, feeling pleased, "Good thing you stood up for me, otherwise I'd be bullied."Nash reassured her, "Don't worry, their drama series won't make it to TV."Miranda felt a sense of satisfaction, "Nash, you're so sharp. You found a flaw that kept them off the air."Nash remained silent. But Miranda was immersed in her love for him and continued, "I talked to my dad, and we should have dinner together sometime."Nash squinted slightly, "When?""I'll check with him and let you know."Meanwhile, in the chief's office, Nina asked again, "Chief, is there really

    "Got it!" Nash was waiting to find out the exact location of Seth Duncan. This man had vanished after being released from prison! His counter-surveillance skills were exceptional, and he had not surfaced on anyone's radar during this period.Even though Miranda never mentioned their connection, it was undeniable. The only person Seth could contact was his daughter. Miranda's involvement was even more obvious. Pharaoh's poison reaching her hands had to be related to Seth. Nash had to find him, and Miranda was the bait.Just then, another call came in. "Mr. York, the number is now disconnected. The last time it was used was at a phone booth."Nash expected this outcome but still hoped to catch a break. If Seth had not switched SIM cards, he might have been able to track him down. This only confirmed that Seth was meticulous and not easily fooled. They needed bait to lure him out.---In the dead of night, Seth moved in a specific direction. Fully equipped, he blended into

    Seth's eyes were cold and piercing. "What about those female corpses?"Sawyer's expression stiffened as he downed a glass of wine. "How should I know? You don't think it was me, do you?"Seth replied, "Pharaoh has ordered us not to make any moves until he gives the word. You know the consequences of disobeying him.""Pharaoh isn't even in the country."Seth sensed the underlying message. "So, you're admitting it?"Sawyer smiled. "That's not what I said. There's no proof it was me. But Seth, we've been working together for years, as equals. Despite my hospitality and offer to share my territory, you show up and start accusing me. That's not very fair, is it?"Seth sneered. "Are you planning to betray the organization?"Sawyer's expression darkened. "Now you're just assigning guilt without proof!"Seth continued, "You're back to your old tricks, dealing in organ trafficking. I can't help but suspect you're trying to set yourself up as the new ruler, planning to betray the organiz

    Seth did not say anything more. But seeing Sawyer's smug expression, thinking Seth was under his control, irritated Seth greatly."Equal partners? No need for that!" Seth refused, knowing well that Sawyer's words were just a façade. He had no intention of becoming complicit with him. "You can keep your crown."Sawyer, seeing Seth so compliant, did not press the issue. He knew he had Seth’s weakness firmly in his grip. No matter how loyal Seth was to Pharaoh, he had to think of a way to protect his own life and his daughter’s life too.With this understanding, Sawyer felt that Seth's release from prison posed no real threat to him.As Seth left, his face was dark with brooding thoughts. Sawyer watched him go, a sly grin playing on his lips."Are you really going to let him go? Aren’t you afraid he’ll snitch?" one of Sawyer’s men asked."He won't dare," Sawyer replied confidently. "Besides, if we move against him, Pharaoh will start asking questions."He could not afford to kill S

    Miranda smiled gently. "It's settled then. Nash will be pleased.""When you're heading back, be cautious. It's not safe in the city right now with those female body cases popping up," Seth warned her.Mentioning this, Miranda asked, "Dad, has the organization mobilized again? I've overheard Nash discussing it with his men."Seth looked up, surprised. "Nash is investigating this?"Miranda nodded. "Yes, he is."A sudden idea struck Seth, and he started to smile. "In that case, give him a tip. It might help him solve the case quickly."---"I can't sit still. I'm going crazy with anxiety!" Nelly said as she paced back and forth, unable to stay seated."What's the rush? It hasn't even started yet, and you've never been this nervous before," Nina remarked."You don't understand. This is my baby. Of course, I want it to do well. The uncertainty is what's making me anxious!" Nelly replied."Sit down," Nina urged, pulling her into a chair. "Whether it succeeds or not, we'll find out

    Yvonne was trying to lift everyone's spirits, but no one seemed to be able to muster any enthusiasm. The high expectations they had set for themselves had not been met, and naturally, their confidence had plummeted.Nelly was beginning to doubt herself, her eyes red with tears. "Maybe my script is just terrible. Why can’t it compete with theirs? I tried so hard!"Her confidence was severely shaken."Of course not!" Nina immediately reassured her. "We barely did any marketing. The buzz is naturally low. It’s just the beginning. Let’s give it a few days and see how it goes."Nelly choked up, "I thought it would do well right out of the gate.""This is good," Nina said, looking at the comments. "The viewers are saying the storyline is fresh and exciting and that they can’t wait for more.""But the ratings aren’t there!" Nelly said, frustrated. "We’re only in second place on the platform, and there’s a huge gap. What good are good reviews without high ratings?""It will go up," Ni

    Even though they were divorced, having such a dream still left Nina terrified. With that, she completely lost any desire to sleep. She turned on the light, struggled to sit up while holding her belly. She then got out of bed to drink a glass of water. She picked up her phone and started scrolling through the news online. At this moment, it seemed to be the fastest way for her to get updates from the outside world. There was no progress on the case of the murdered women, but her worries persisted. She thought of Wilfred. Since she last saw him in his studio, she had not seen him again. Busy with work, she had not noticed if there was any movement next door. She opened the door. Now, in the dead of night, even a pin dropping could be heard. Standing at Wilfred's door, she did not know how to face him. She knew her life was hanging by a thread and she did not want to drag them down, yet she could not help but worry. These conflicted feelings were hard to manage.It was as if Wi

    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.
