Nash didn't view it that way. Several chance encounters couldn't simply be dismissed as coincidences; there was more to it than meets the eye.

Nina's seemingly genuine joy each time they crossed paths only made it even harder to explain.

"Oh, Mr. York is here too!" Wallace, oblivious to any underlying tension, greeted Nash warmly. "Since everyone's here, let's head to the restaurant. I'll treat you all to a feast."

Nash nodded at Wallace but kept his words to a minimum.

After several interactions, Wallace had gleaned some insight into Nash's demeanor – reserved, decisive, not one for small talk – so he didn't press further.

Scott, gesturing towards the car, said, "Please, Mr. York."

With a stern expression, Nash got into the car without uttering a word. He didn't acknowledge Nina, curious to see if she would react on her own.

Quincy was tactful. He glanced at Nina and offered them a way out, "Nina, why don't you sit next to Mr. York?"

Aware of Nash's discontent, Quincy didn't w

    Nina hesitated for a moment. Perhaps he was more inclined to find this woman himself. Or maybe he was testing her.Though Nina didn't fully grasp the situation, she had to comply with his wishes. "Mr. York has assigned me tasks, and I will fulfill them, not just this one, but all others as well."Was her response appropriate? As his secretary, she had to obey his commands, demonstrating her loyalty to him.There was no hint of sadness on her face, even as she willingly assisted him in locating a woman he had been intimate with. Whether as his wife or secretary, she was exceptionally accommodating.Nash diverted his gaze, his expression icy as he spoke calmly, "You are truly an excellent secretary to rely on."Initially tense, Nina relaxed upon hearing his praise, responding formally, "It's my duty, and I'll continue to do my best in the future."Listening to their exchange, Quincy found it absurd. Without context, it sounded like a subordinate reporting work. With context, it fel

    "Well, Nina looks so beautiful, there must be many people chasing after her, naturally, she has high standards," Wallace looked at Scott again, "But Scott is also quite impressive, young and full of potential, with a great personality and boundless prospects!"Listening to his praise, Nash's expression visibly soured. It was clear that Wallace was highly pleased with Scott and was actively attempting to set them up.Scott looked at Nash and smiled, "Mr. Wallace, you're too kind in your praise. However, Nina is the best person in the world. She deserves to be loved and cherished."Nina felt moved by Scott's words, even though she was taken aback. He said she was the best person in the world, deserving of love and care. No girl could resist such tenderness.Nash also observed Nina's gaze towards Scott, which seemed to suggest she was moved by him, stirring a discomfort deep within him. He instinctively adjusted his tie and remarked coldly, "Actions speak louder than words. When Nin

    Wallace only had this one precious daughter, and he adored her immensely. In front of guests, he might say a few words, but at home, she was the apple of his eye, and he cherished her beyond measure.He seldom took Melody out unless she was interested. But he had never taken her to meet Nash. Nash was such a headstrong person, he worried that his daughter couldn't handle him. Previously, he had thought about introducing Melody to Scott. Scott had a good personality, and if his daughter married him, she wouldn't suffer. But things had changed now; Scott liked Nina, and they could all see that. Melody was more interested in Nash, so he could only comply with her wishes and see if it could work out. Besides them, Wallace also had some friends coming over. They were mostly uncles and older relatives who had watched Melody grow up and were quite fond of her. When they arrived, they inquired about her well-being, and Melody greeted them graciously.After everyone had gathered, Melody

    Back in middle school, he was a chubby kid. How could he possibly muster the courage to stand beside her? He could only silently steal glances at her."Now, I am the best version of myself," he declared.Nina hadn't realized he harbored such feelings for her; she truly hadn't paid attention.Looking at her, Scott spoke with an indulgent smile, "Nina, even when I was far away in Estaland, I came back once. It was when I found out you were injured, and by the time I returned, you had entered high school. I could only dare to sneak a glimpse of you from far, but seeing you well made me very happy! At that moment, I made a firm decision that when I came back, I would surely bring you happiness."Nina was at a loss for words.She could understand him.From middle school to now, it had been more than ten years.And Scott's affection for her surely surpassed her feelings for Nash by far.She asked, "Have you not liked anyone else in these years?"Scott joked, "Perhaps people from the

    At that moment, Nina felt as if struck by lightning, her face drained of color, her body stiff and unyielding. She wanted to flee the place, but her feet seemed nailed to the ground, unable to move. Her eyes remained fixed on them, unable to look away. She hadn't anticipated that by the time she emerged from the restroom, they would have progressed to the point of kissing. However, the next second, Nash pulled Melody's hand away. Coincidentally, his gaze met Nina's, and he paused for a moment. Their eyes met, and for a moment, they exchanged a gaze filled with doubt and sorrow.Nash didn't have time to explain. He simply distanced himself from Melody and spoke coldly, "Miss Wallace, have some self-respect."Melody had followed them out from behind. Seeing Nash alone, she intended to make some intimate gestures toward him. She believed no man could resist a beautiful woman, and no one had ever turned her down before. If she made the first move, she could have Nash. Even if it

    The relationship between them couldn't progress any further. Nina composed herself, smiled faintly, then looked back at Melody behind her. "Mr. York, as your secretary, I know better than to pry into matters that don't concern me. Whatever happens here will remain confidential, and I won't speak a word about it."Melody instantly grasped the situation and approached. "Mr. York, if you're concerned about someone overhearing, rest assured, your secretary is trustworthy. Over the years, you've kept a low profile with no scandals or public relationships. I don't need a formal commitment; we can keep it discreet. What do you say?"She was attracted to Nash, longing to get closer to him, to conquer him. If he were interested, she could be his secret lover. He couldn't refuse that, could he?Nash was already displeased with Nina's aloofness and indifference. Now, with Melody adding irrelevant remarks, he felt even more irritated. His cold gaze shifted from Nina to Melody.Melody's smile f

    "I'm sorry, Mr. York. It was my fault today for not intervening in time, causing you discomfort. I'll make sure to avoid such occurrences in the future." Nina quickly apologized, fearing his anger might escalate into a big issue.She apologized promptly and didn't argue back, prompting Nash to comment again, "You realize your mistake quickly. Now, let me ask you, was it in the interest of the company or personal reasons?"Her actions just now were indeed driven by personal feelings. She might have felt upset, but she remained silent.Nina responded, "Of course, it's in the interest of the company. As long as I serve as your secretary, I must be accountable for my actions. Mr. York, you can dock my salary, I won't complain." Mr. York was suddenly speechless, visibly displeased. Yet, he couldn't pinpoint any fault. And he didn't bother to do so.Mr. York pursed his lips, his expression darkening instantly. He released her, distancing himself as if their conversation had never happe

    She looked up and saw Quincy opening the car door, shaking her gently. She sat up, asking, "What's wrong?""Mr. York drank a lot today and still can't wake up," Quincy explained. Quickly glancing over, she saw Nash sleeping in the same position as before, leaning against the seat back, breathing steadily, showing no signs of waking up. Perhaps he had drunk too much and was a bit exhausted. But this was rare for him. In her memory, he never got drunk and fell into a deep sleep like this.Realizing they had already arrived at the doorstep, she said, "I'll have someone help him back inside. Quincy, it's already late, you should go home and rest first," Nina instantly sobered up. Quincy nodded. "Okay, take good care of Mr. York." Nina got out of the car and hurried inside to call the helpers to help carry Nash in.Once they got him to the bedroom and laid him on the bed, Nina felt like she had used up all her strength. She looked at the man on the bed who hadn't woken up yet, took o

    Jamie struggled desperately to free herself from Ben’s grip, but it was futile. Ben watched her attempts with a mix of frustration and curiosity. Beyond her anger and resistance, Jamie showed no other emotions. Yet, according to Caden, she had risked everything to obtain the recording. His mother had also confirmed it was Jamie who had handed it over. Still, she had never used it to threaten him. Ben’s voice dripped with sarcasm as he stared her down. “What’s your angle, Jamie? You risked so much to get that recording, you ignored your son’s safety, and now you’re here telling me to take care of your sister and build a happy life with her? Are you really that noble?” His sharp, icy gaze bore into her, as though he wanted to rip her apart piece by piece. Jamie hadn’t expected Ben to know the truth, but it didn’t matter. She had done what she felt was right and had no intention of using it against him. “My sister is carrying your child, and the two of you are engaged

    Ben didn’t respond, drinking in brooding silence. Just as Hunter was about to press further, Nash shot him a glance that made him hold his tongue. Ben drank heavily, while Nash and Quincy eventually excused themselves, and Caleb hurried off to handle work. In the end, it was just Ben and Hunter left in the private lounge. Hunter patted Ben on the shoulder. “If you can’t forget her, then maybe it’s time to accept her. Even if things don’t turn out as expected, as long as you’ve done your best and have a clear conscience, that’s enough. You’re the one building a life with her, so why get hung up on something so trivial?” He was referring to Jamie’s past. And if Ben really wanted to count, he was her first man.But no man could truly tolerate betrayal.What Ben couldn’t get past wasn’t Jamie’s past, but her abandonment and the way she had betrayed him.“I’m done talking about Jamie,” Ben said coldly. “I’ll settle the tab. You stay and enjoy yourself. I’m heading home.”

    Ben did not reply and left without looking back. True to his word, he wasn’t going to see Jamie or Winnie. Instead, he arranged to meet Nash and the others at the most exclusive club in the city. However, when Ben arrived, Nash was busy on a call, Quincy was glued to his phone, and Hunter and Caleb were drinking quietly. Ben, already agitated, couldn’t hide his irritation. “You two, it’s rare we get together, and this is how you spend your time? Do you ever get tired of it?”He took a sip of his own drink, frustration bubbling as thoughts of Jamie occupied his mind. Quincy, sprawled casually on the couch, grinned. “Tired? Never. You don’t know what you’re missing. It’s pure bliss.” “I used to think love and relationships were just a burden,” Quincy continued, his expression turning soft. “But now I’ve realized, there’s nothing better in this world.” Since reconnecting with Lydia, Quincy’s perspective on life had shifted entirely. Traveling the world hand-in-hand with

    Ben’s lips pressed into a thin line. He didn’t know how to describe what he was feeling at that moment. The Jamie he knew was someone who could easily abandon their relationship for money. He had even done a paternity test on Jamie’s child, confirming there was no biological connection between them. Now, she had gone to such lengths for him. Was this her conscience finally surfacing? Ben didn’t want to dwell on it. “Your grandmother is innocent. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her situation,” he said. “Thank you.” Caden lowered his head in gratitude. Ben nodded slightly and walked past him without another word. ……After leaving, Ben returned home to find Mrs. Lucas waiting for him, ready to perform a series of superstitious gestures to "clear away bad energy." He went along with her routine without protest. Once she was finished, he got into his car. “Who did you reach out to that managed to get me released so quickly?” Ben asked, recalling Caden’s earlier

    It was a battle between good and evil.“Charlie is already sick, and your sister never thinks about you. So why should you care about her? Besides, people who don’t look out for themselves are doomed to fail!”Evil began to chip away at her reason.Justice pushed back. “No, he’s just a child.”But evil whispered again. “Winnie, if you don’t take steps to protect yourself, do you want to see your own child disappear?”Winnie couldn’t bear the thought of losing her child. Over the years, she had worked hard and sacrificed so much, yet Jamie had never acknowledged her efforts. Instead, Jamie had gotten entangled with Ben, even on the day of her engagement party. Ben was her fiancé, and her child was Ben’s child! Yes, only her child had the right to call Ben “Daddy.” This thought filled Winnie’s eyes with an icy determination.……Meanwhile, with the recording as evidence, the prosecutor’s office and the police launched an investigation into Caden’s actions.

    Mrs. Lucas showed no sympathy as she watched Jamie break down in tears. Her only concern was securing the recording to help clear Ben’s name.But Jamie’s emotional state made Mrs. Lucas suspicious. “Why does everything line up so perfectly?” she questioned.Jamie raised her hand as if swearing an oath. “I ran into Caden while working a part-time job, and the recording was pure luck. Mrs. Lucas, I’d never joke about my own son’s safety.”Jamie’s firm tone, coupled with her tear-streaked face, carried an air of desperation. As a woman and a mother herself, Mrs. Lucas could read Jamie’s emotions clearly. But deep inside, a new thought began to form. If Jamie’s child were gone, it would break Jamie completely. If she were to lose her mind or even die from the grief, how could Ben possibly continue to hold on to any lingering feelings for her?Mrs. Lucas’s resolve hardened as an idea took root.“Give me the recording,” she said, her tone steady. “I’ll make sure something is done t

    “You don’t need to give me anything. Just don’t hurt my family. That’s my only request,” Caden said firmly.The masked man let out a low chuckle. “Someone who doesn’t love money or power? How rare.”Caden’s expression remained impassive. “Just promise me this, and from now on, don’t come looking for me. I won’t help you with anything again.”The masked man clearly had no intention of letting Caden off so easily.In the next moment, he slid a list across the table. “Get these people released for me, or I’ll expose how you framed a top lawyer. What do you think? Will the public forgive you? Will the government?”Jamie, recording everything from the side, was satisfied with what she had captured. She turned to leave quietly, but before she could slip out, Caden spotted her.“Jamie? What are you doing here?”The masked man’s gaze turned icy.Jamie reacted quickly and bolted for the door, running as fast as she could.She didn’t know how she had ended up in the middle of Caden’s de

    After speaking, Winnie ran off. Jamie didn’t chase her. She understood that Winnie couldn’t accept this, and if their roles were reversed, neither could she. Right now, she had to find Mrs. Lucas. She flagged down a taxi and directed it to the Lucas family estate. It was her second time coming here. The first time had been by Mrs. Lucas’s invitation, a meeting designed to show her the opulence of the Lucas family estate and to offer her a million to leave Ben. Jamie had sworn then that she would never set foot there again. But today, she was here for Winnie. At the gate, the security guard stopped her. “Who are you?” “My name is Jamie Lewis,” she said calmly. “Tell Mrs. Lucas I’m here to see her. She’ll agree to meet me.” Jamie hadn’t chased after Winnie because she wanted to give her some time to process everything. But she couldn’t leave Winnie alone for too long. Time was of the essence. Seeing her composure, the security guard decided to pass along

    Although the van slowed down, Winnie was suddenly shoved out, hitting the ground hard. The physical pain was intense, but it couldn’t compare to the ache in her heart.She watched as the van sped away into the distance. Trembling, she pulled out her phone and called Jamie.“Jamie, what are you doing right now? I need to ask you something in person.” Winnie’s tone made it clear that she knew something was wrong.Hearing her voice, Jamie immediately sensed the weight of the situation. Winnie must have found out the truth. There was no way Jamie could focus on work until they cleared the air.Without hesitation, Jamie dropped what she was doing and rushed to meet her.When she arrived, she found Winnie sitting on the curb, her face blank and her eyes hollow.Jamie ran over quickly. “Winnie, what happened?”At the sound of her voice, Winnie lifted her head. A bitter smile played at the corners of her mouth. “Don’t you know what happened, my dear sister?”She deliberately emphasized
