There was quite a commotion, loud enough for everyone to hear.Penelope chuckled, sipping her lemon water, seemingly pleased with the outcome. Although she hadn't interacted with Miranda directly, she was aware of the recent competition for her resources, which left an impression. In the entertainment industry, such battles were nothing new. Miranda still attempted to cut ahead of Penelope in line for her custom-made gown, which seemed a bit excessive. It was satisfying for Penelope to see Miranda fail to get what she wanted.The store manager was inside. Even if they managed to produce the dress today, which seemed unlikely, Miranda probably wouldn't be satisfied. She would end up bearing the brunt of the blame. "We've done our best...""What kind of effort did you put in? Everyone else is dressed perfectly, but only Miranda's gown isn't done. You're doing this on purpose!""You're just accusing me."Hearing them arguing, Miranda came out with a smile, asking in a friendly tone

Miranda's assistant caught wind of the news and whispered in her ear, "Miranda, I heard it's Nina. She's the one causing trouble!"Her gaze automatically shifted towards Nina.As she chatted with Yvonne, comparing the gowns they held, Miranda felt a surge of annoyance. She approached her. "Nina, so it's you. You knew I would be attending the gala and wanted to embarrass me?"Seeing Nina getting ready for makeup and dressing up, Miranda sneered, "Trying to compete with me? Or trying to catch Nash's eye?"Nina sat in a chair while Yvonne's makeup artist styled her hair. She caught a glimpse of Miranda's arrogant expression in the mirror. Only in her presence would Miranda reveal her true colors.Nina didn't look up, responding calmly, "You have quite the imagination. I dress up to please myself.""Quite the self-righteous one, aren't you? Why did you disrupt my dress alteration?" Miranda retorted. "It bothered you when you overheard Ruby and Liz discussing alterations for my dress

This took everyone by surprise. It sent chills down their spines and was a real eye-opener for Penelope."Nina, are you out of your mind? You slapped Miranda!" her colleague exclaimed, shocked.Miranda tilted her head slightly, stunned for several seconds.Nina replied, "You slapped Yvonne; it's only fair I return the favor!"The assistant, startled, immediately pushed Nina away. "Are you crazy? How dare you hit Miranda..."Nina retaliated by slapping the assistant back. "You lack manners. With such a troublemaking assistant like you, it's no wonder Miranda got slapped!""You... Nina, you..."The assistant couldn't articulate her anger as Nina remained unfazed.Miranda covered her face, tears streaming down, and said softly, "Ruby, let it go. We can't afford to provoke her...""Who can't afford to provoke her?"Sally rushed over in a fit of rage at the sight of Miranda being slapped. "Nina, it's you again. This time, I didn't make a mistake, did I? You are bullying Miranda be

Nash's sudden announcement left everyone in the room stunned for a considerable time.Married?Was this something they were supposed to hear?Miranda's face instantly drained of color, her eyes welling up with tears as she fixed her gaze on Nash. It felt as though a sharp blade had pierced her heart, her hands instinctively balling into fists.He actually admitted to being married in front of so many people!This dealt a heavy blow to her, nearly causing her to lose her balance, but fortunately, Sally beside her managed to support her.Nina glanced up at Nash once more, her hands tightening involuntarily. She didn't know what he was thinking or why he would admit it in front of so many people.It left her feeling a bit confused.She couldn't react for a moment, feeling nervous at the same time.What came to mind were the words Nash had said on the night of their marriage, that if anyone found out, she would pay the price.It all felt surreal.Others were stunned for several

Miranda despised the fact that Nina had snatched her beloved away from her. Despite all she had done for Nash, why was it Nina who reaped the benefits?Sally handed her a tissue and gently wiped away her tears. "Miranda, just be patient and keep your composure. In the end, everything will fall into place for you."Sally offered Miranda another dose of solace. She had to endure; eventually, everything would be hers. Miranda's eyes turned cold once more.---"Nina, did you see that? Nash publicly humiliated Miranda!" Yvonne chuckled. "It was so satisfying! Did you see her expression? She was so jealous! If it weren't for your mother-in-law supporting her, she might have fallen over!"With this spectacle today, Miranda has been disgraced. With so many people watching, let's see how she tries to spin this lie!"And you know what? I don't think Nash is that bad after all. At least he's standing up for you!"The fact that he stood up for Nina in front of so many people, admitting to b

Nina was taken aback by this. She lifted her head once more, unable to believe it. He had never praised her like this before. What was happening today?Locking eyes with Nash, Nina asked, "Really?"Nash reached out, gently stroking her hair. "Are you lacking confidence now?"Encountering a different demeanor from him, Nina felt a bit uneasy, but she didn't want to admit it. "Of course not.""You look beautiful tonight, very fitting for you," Nash said, wrapping his arm around her waist. Nina took a few steps forward, nestling into his embrace."I hate to let you out to meet people," Nash said in a husky voice.His warm breath fell on her face, tantalizing and intriguing. Nina's cheeks flushed, and she pushed him away. "Stop goofing around. Since you said it's good-looking, then it must be good-looking."She smiled faintly.Nash's gaze softened, and he lowered his head again. "Why is it that when I say it's good-looking, it is?"Looking up, Nina saw the flicker of stars in his

"Mr. York," omeone approached with a greeting, then glanced at Nina standing next to him. "So, it's Nina. You really know how to keep your beauty under wraps. You look stunning today, I'm genuinely impressed!"The individual then extended their hand for a shake with Nina."Thanks for the kind words. It's all about the magic of makeup, though. Not quite on par with your companion," Nina responded with her usual professional demeanor, promptly reciprocating the handshake with a smile.But Nash stepped in, saying, "No need to be so formal tonight."Nina withdrew her hand once more.The person didn't seem bothered, just teasingly remarked, "Looks like Mr. York is quite protective of his little secretary."Meanwhile, nearby, another conversation was underway."Check it out, Mr. York's companion is actually his secretary. I thought it would be someone else!" Penelope's assistant smirked, deliberately making the comment. "I'd say a secretary's position is more powerful than some people

Nina smirked. It hurt, so this wasn't a dream after all. Nash was really massaging her feet. Noticing her expression, Nash thought he might have pressed too hard and instinctively asked, "Did I hurt you?"Nina shook her head. "No, you didn't." She paused, her nose slightly moist, and said, "I just didn't expect you to be like this." To her, his tenderness was surprising. Nash lifted his deep gaze, noticing her bright yet somewhat pitiful eyes, and he softly said, "I'm sorry you had to endure this."Nina shook her head and remained silent. She wasn't enduring anything. She just loved him but couldn't have him. As Nash rubbed her feet, the warmth of his touch eased Nina's discomfort. She focused on gazing at him, soaking in his tenderness while remaining clear-headed.Her eyes fell on his deep gaze, his prominent nose bridge, and then his rosy lips... At that moment, she felt overwhelmed with emotions, and finally, she couldn't resist calling out, "Nash." At the sound of her voice

Simply put, they were a bunch of grown men who didn’t know how to do housework. Vera was momentarily stunned. She hadn’t thought about this at all. But this was a big issue. Housing and meals were the workers’ top concerns. She couldn’t promise them accommodations, only for them to arrive and find that the dorms were unlivable. “Keep them calm for now. I’ll figure out a solution for the cleaning,” she told Stanley, her mind racing for a practical plan. Cleaning itself wasn’t the problem. She could easily hire a cleaning crew to take care of it. But that would be too expensive—not worth the cost. A single cleaner cost a few hundred per day. If she hired multiple, she would be spending over a thousand. That kind of money would be better spent elsewhere. “If I do it myself, at least I can make sure it’s done properly,” she thought. Her eyes lit up with the realization. Without wasting a second, she rushed home to gather supplies. By the time she arrived

As Caleb reached the entryway, he hesitated. Vera was still on his mind. He stopped in his tracks, torn for a moment. Vera glanced at his phone, forcing herself to ignore the strange pang of jealousy that surfaced in her chest. “Dr. Smith, you should go. I’ll be fine.“They wouldn’t dare go too far. This is a society governed by law, after all.” “Alright. Call me if anything happens.” Caleb’s expression softened slightly before he finally left. The villa was now eerily quiet, leaving Vera completely alone. She had spent plenty of time by herself before, but for some reason, tonight felt especially lonely. Even with all the doors and windows locked, a lingering chill crept over her limbs. She shook off the feeling and tried not to overthink it. Instead, she took a hot shower and went to bed early. Thankfully, the night passed without incident. *The next morning, Vera hired someone to remove the red spray paint from her door and the pavement outside. A

Vera didn’t want to trouble Caleb. But then she thought about Mr. Lincoln, about Uncle Zimmer, who had sold her out, and about the threats Mr. Lincoln had made after she injured him. A slight shiver ran down her spine. She was certain—there was no way that man would just let this go. Caleb clearly noticed something was off. Before he could ask, Vera lifted her head and said, “I’d appreciate it if you could take me home.” “Alright,” Caleb replied, his furrowed brows relaxing slightly. She didn’t have to say anything. It didn’t matter. He would keep an eye on her over the next few days, just to make sure she stayed safe. *When they arrived at her place, the sight at the entrance made Caleb’s expression darken. The floor and the door were covered in red spray paint, filled with vulgar insults—words like *whore* and *slut* scrawled across the surface. His jaw tightened. This wasn’t something he could ignore. He turned to Vera. “Who did you piss off recently?

Seeing that Vera didn’t want to talk, Caleb had no choice but to sigh and say, “Let me take care of this for you.” He grabbed some alcohol and cotton swabs. Vera instinctively pulled her leg back, feeling a little embarrassed. “It’s just a small wound. I can do it myself.” But Caleb pressed her down gently, his voice firm. “Don’t move.” Without thinking, she obeyed. The moment the cotton swab touched her skin, she flinched. The cold alcohol sent a sharp, uncomfortable sting through her body. Caleb had only applied it to the surface of her wounds, yet she kept shrinking back. He frowned slightly, wondering if he was hurting her. Vera, however, thought he was upset. “I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to. It’s just cold. And alcohol stings when it touches a wound.” She had grown up pampered. Before her father’s accident, he had never let her suffer even the tiniest injury. This was her first time experiencing the sting of disinfectant. “I’ll be more careful,” Caleb sa

“A girl your age should be buying designer bags and luxury goods, not spending every day stuck in a factory dealing with a bunch of dirty workers,” Mr. Lincoln said, inching closer to her without making it too obvious. “Your father dumped all his burdens on you—that’s way too unfair.” A bad feeling crept over Vera. She suddenly shot to her feet. “Mr. Lincoln, I respect you, and I came here today to discuss business. If you have no intention of working with me, then I’ll take my leave.” Mr. Zimmer had introduced her to someone completely unreliable. Once she got back, she would mark down Mr. Zimmer’s contact information as a warning to herself. She wouldn’t be reaching out to him again. But there was no way Mr. Lincoln was going to let her leave. She had already walked into the lion’s den—there was no way he was letting her leave so easily.He grabbed her arm, his grip firm. “Just be with me. I’ll give you ten grand a month. That’s way better than running around, begg

The caller was Mr. Zimmer, a long-time client of the company. Vera had reached out to him yesterday, but he had told her he had no projects at the moment, so she had no choice but to end the call. She wasn’t sure why he was calling today, but she still answered. “Uncle Zimmer, you’re looking for me?” “Vera, I called to introduce you to a potential project,” Mr. Zimmer’s voice came through the phone. “You reached out to me yesterday, didn’t you? Since you came to me for help, of course I’ll do what I can.” Vera felt a bit uncomfortable. She had called to discuss a potential collaboration—something that would be mutually beneficial. How had that turned into her begging for help? But the customer is always king, and she wasn’t about to argue over a single word. She smiled and said, “Then I’ll thank you in advance, Uncle Zimmer.” “Are you free to come over for a meal? I’ll introduce you to the right person. You two should talk it over—if things work out, you can

“If they don’t want to come back, then let them go,” Leonard Quinn said, trying to comfort him. “Their hearts aren’t in it anymore. Even if they do return, they won’t put in the effort.” “I don’t care whether they come back or not,” Stanley sighed. “But Vera’s new project is about to start, and we don’t have enough workers. Overtime is fine for a while, but no one can work around the clock indefinitely—it’s just not sustainable.” The bigger the task, the heavier the responsibility. Since Vera had entrusted him with this, even paying out bonuses in advance, he had to see it through properly. He couldn’t afford to let her down. “I remember there are quite a few people in our village struggling to find steady work,” Leonard suggested after thinking for a moment. “They’re just picking up odd jobs here and there, getting paid by the day. Since we all know each other, why don’t you write down the names of the reliable ones? Later, we can check with Vera, and if she agrees, we’ll

Vera gave Stanley a detailed rundown of the York Corporation project.Having worked as a factory manager for several years, Stanley was well aware of the plant’s production efficiency. After hearing the project details, he told her directly, “Vera, if we can get even half of the old employees back, we’ll be able to meet the production targets on time. But what if more of them want to return—should we take them in or not?”“Of course we should, Uncle Stanley. You guys are all seasoned workers. The company is in a tough spot right now—we couldn’t even pay wages. Yet, despite the hardship, you’re still willing to stay. That means a lot. There will be more projects in the future. As long as the old employees want to come back, I’ll take as many as we can get,” Vera said firmly. She had already made up her mind about this.York Corporation had only granted her this project as a favor to Caleb, which gave her just enough breathing room to keep the factory afloat. But Vera didn’t want

“Already getting paid this fast?” Even with the cash in his hands, Stanley still felt like this was all too surreal. “Vera… where did you get this money?” “Uncle Stanley, I landed a deal recently,” Vera explained patiently. “The partner invested funds, and the first thing I wanted to do was clear everyone’s wages. You all have worked hard. It’s only right you get paid.” She took a deep breath before continuing, “I also wanted to ask—have you found another job yet? If not, would you be willing to return to the factory? We still need a plant manager, and we have orders coming in. The only thing missing is workers.” Stanley was stunned. Was the factory really back in business just like that? Of course, he had always hoped the Mason family would rise again. But never—not in his wildest dreams—did he think the one making that happen would be Vera. She had always been the sheltered youngest daughter of the family, the one never expected to bear any responsibilities.
