"Mr. Landon, did anything happen to the company?" Frowning, Angelina prodded. She had noticed his low mood when he stepped into the house. However, that did not mean Lauren wasn't attuned to Landon's feelings. Angelina's keen observation stemmed from years of serving Landon. No one knew him better than she did. Landon clutched two dice from the board game in his palm. "I met Zoe today. She is in the hospital. Mom and Grandpa are protecting her.""You've met her?" Angelina's eyes wavered in shock. She whispered, "Did it go well?"He smirked. "She dares not pull anything under my watch.""Still, better to be safe than sorry," she replied worriedly. "Zoe must have worked with Preston to get back to Solana City. She's on bad terms with you, and she will definitely form an alliance with Preston to defeat you as revenge.""Well, she'd better hurry up. Don't keep me waiting." He gritted his teeth, nearly crushing the dice. "I happen to be coming up with an excuse to get rid of that bi

Landon was stunned. Bitterness arose when he realized that he had been too harsh.Indeed, the desserts were Lauren's way of expressing her love. He was wrong to think of it as just any ordinary dessert, hurting her and disregarding her effort.He was mad at himself for being a lousy partner to Lauren."They were already mucked up in the first place anyway. It's okay if they are ruined." Lauren beamed at him, though her smile looked forced. "I'll make them for you again next time."While she was speaking, Landon surprisingly picked up the smashed desserts from the ground and savored them without hesitation. He praised, "Oh, it smells so good and tastes so sweet! I'm out of words to describe your skill. Darling, you bake so well!"Even when his mouth stuffed with the dessert, he managed to add, "Darling, do I have the honor to enjoy this every day? Oh, never mind. That'll be too much work for you. I'm fine with tasting it once in a while!""They're dirty! Stop picking them off the

"Too many oysters? Hah! You little prick, feeding me an oyster feast and even spicing it up with something else!" Landon muttered to himself. …The oysters seemed to have worked to boost Landon's libido. He made love a few times to Lauren that night, his body covered in sweat as he humped her. All she could do was to beg him for mercy."Darling, when are we going to make a group of baby pandas?" When they inched toward the climax, he pressed his moist, warm lips against her reddened ears and asked flirtatiously.Sweaty, she wrapped her legs around his fine waist as their bodies collided, but she seemed preoccupied with thoughts.…After Winston's condition stabilized, he demanded to recover in Heightsnew Villa, claiming he had had enough of the smell of disinfectant.Jonah spent a fortune and generously transformed a huge bedroom into a patient ward, even purchasing all the medical equipment Winston needed. Julien was conveniently appointed Winston's doctor.Winston scanned th

The Taylors merrily surrounded Winston. At the same time, two couples were helping Lyla to make ravioli in the kitchen.Lyla's cooking skills were exceptional. Even if it was ravioli-making, she could produce ravioli of various colors, each carrying a different flavor."Lyla, you're spoiling Winston," Alyssa grumbled good-naturedly while folding the ravioli. Each one of her ravioli looked round and plump. "It's just ravioli, but you're here making them rainbow-colored. What more does he expect? He's really a piece of work.""Your dad loves ravioli. It was my idea to make colorful ravioli, so no. He did not give me trouble at all." Lyla flashed a contented smile. "Since I'm making ravioli for him anyway, I'd rather make a bigger batch for everyone to enjoy.""You, Mandy, and Colene are spoiling that old man. It is usually the other way around in other families." Alyssa snorted. "Did my mom spoil him too when she was still around? That couldn't have been the case, right?""Well, r

"Lyse, Jasper, I have new updates on the Schmidt Group," Jonah announced.Upon hearing that, Lyla glanced at Alyssa and sensibly said, "Taty and I will leave the kitchen now.""It's fine, Lyla. We're family. There's nothing to be kept secret." Alyssa's expression grew serious. "Jonah, go ahead."Sean's ears perked up as well. Alyssa had ordered him to focus on recovery and his relationship with Tatiana ever since he got severely injured by Jeffrey and nearly lost his left arm from being beaten up by the Schmidts' men. She had refused to involve him in other affairs since.However, after years of working with Jonah in the business field and later serving Alyssa, Sean remained passionate and loyal. He had no interest in fancy titles or handsome compensation, only wishing to be of use to Alyssa and Jonah.Sean had not worked on anything important after Sophia's case came to a close, which made him feel a little empty inside."Lyse, remember that Tsulu holiday resort project that Jos

The atmosphere at the dinner was cheerful. Winston's mood lifted upon seeing the ravioli dish, and he even invited Jasper to stay for dinner.The tables were full of couples who put on proper fronts while secretly flirting with each other. Later at night, Jonah returned to his study to pore over the piles of documents. Winston's illness sent the KS Group into a frenzy. On top of that, Dominic's misuse of company funds created more headaches for them.Fortunately, Jonah was capable of handling the crisis and steering the KS Group back on track. After working for a while, he removed his silver-rimmed glasses and massaged his temple while enjoying some shut-eye. "Phew, that was tiring. I wonder when Alyssa will take over and let me retire."He then heard a knock and went up to answer the door."Mr. Jonah," Julien cooed, leaning against the doorframe with a flirtatious grin. "Do you need a late-night private massage service?"Looking tired, Jonah scanned Julien from head to toe. "Dr

Julien remained infatuated with Jonah's sexual appeal, but Jonah felt his heart skip a beat. He forcefully removed Julien's hands from him and freed himself from the hug, much to Julien's disappointment. Julien's body stiffened."Yes, Mandy," Jonah replied calmly.Then, he marched to the door and opened it without hesitation. He was greeted by Mandy's smile. She said, "I knew he was here. I could tell that the two of you share a good relationship."Jonah and Julien indeed shared a "good" relationship. Jonah flinched, merely responding with a faint smile."Julien, come with me to my bedroom. I need to talk to you." Mandy gestured to Julien with a grin, causing Julien's heart to sink.Julien cast a worried and loaded look at Jonah, but Jonah avoided his gaze and stared at his feet.…Julien followed Mandy back to her bedroom. After locking the door behind her, she put on a serious look. Julien feigned sleepiness and yawned. "Aunt Mandy, why are you looking for me late at night?"

Julien had been a playboy living a promiscuous and hedonic life in the past. For once, he finally thought of settling down with Jonah, but here came Mandy. She had to uncover his shoddy past at this time. His heart ached. The photos gave him quite a jolt."Aunt Mandy, I…""Julien, your dad and brother might turn a blind eye to your life abroad, and I have no say in your decision after marrying into the Taylor family." Frowning, Mandy hissed in a low and stern voice, "But Jonah is the pillar of the Taylor family. Your Uncle Winston has high hopes for his eldest. You cannot lay a finger on Jonah!"Feeling a stabbing pain in his heart, Julien stumbled backward in shock."I watched you grow up. When you were younger, I was the one who made you study and play with you because your dad was too busy. I know you better than anyone else in the Lovelace family." She slumped on the couch, simmering in anger. Mandy continued, "I can read your mind from your actions. To be honest, I could t

Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa

Julien's merciless, hate-filled words hit Jonah like a ton of bricks. The pain was unbearable, a gut-wrenching ache that shattered his heart.Under the dim lighting, Julien vaguely noticed a sorrowful tear forming at the corner of Jonah's eye. But before it could fall, Jonah forced a blink, swallowing his emotions whole. Despite Jonah's attempt to brace himself, sorrow engulfed him, a tidal wave of despair. His features mirrored the devastation ripping through his heart. As Evan opened the driver's side door, Julien lurched forward and vomited again. The sickening sound of him retching echoed in the air as if he were expelling everything inside him. "Judas, Mr. Lovelace looks like he's suffering from alcohol poisoning. We should take him to the hospital."Evan's worry deepened at Julien's condition. Jonah wordlessly removed his suit jacket and began cleaning the mess in the car. His chest tightened painfully as he watched Julien groaning, clearly suffering. Then, without he

Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise. It seems he truly doesn't trust me, his only remaining family."Remy lowere

The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up. His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying. She was sound asleep. Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers. The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let g

Justin's casual question hit Javier like a thunderclap. Shock rippled through him, freezing his expression. His voice trembled with fear as he barked, "What nonsense is that? Are you accusing me of causing Chester's death? I'm your father—how could you think I'd do such a thing?""It's not an accusation. Just the facts," Justin replied coolly, crossing his legs and savoring his tea with unsettling calm. "And I'm not condemning you. In fact, I understand why you did it. I'm facing the same dilemma now."Javier's breathing grew ragged. He had watched Justin grow from a child into the man before him—now a predator, circling with quiet menace."You were meant to be the heir as the eldest son," Justin continued, his voice smooth as silk. "But Grandpa favored Uncle Chester, handing him major projects, grooming him in plain sight. "Uncle Chester's reputation soon eclipsed yours. He was a natural leader, adept at business, with one fatal flaw—he was kind. Too kind. Unlike you."Justin
