"I never thought you would trap me, taking advantage of me to have a child." Regina can't even remember sleeping with the guy who always annoyed her. How could she have his child? Henry humiliated Regina in public with insults that put her in a difficult situation. He also forced her into a contract marriage, dragging her into even more trouble. For the sake of that child, she is willing to endure it all. Little does Regina know, the child who has been her light all this time is hiding something unexpected.

You violated professionalism by neglecting your duties yesterday. Besides, I want us to end this relationship. I expect you to clear out your belongings from my apartment as well."Reina smiled bitterly. "You just want to discard me when you're bored? Henry, I'll expose your behavior to the media."Henry remained unfazed. "Go ahead!""Fine. You'll regret it," Reina stormed out, slamming the door in frustration.Henry didn't care. He still had plenty to do.***Regina felt irritated seeing the incessant messages coming her way. No matter how many times she blocked him, the man kept bothering her."Regina, have you been waiting long? I'm sorry."Regina turned off her phone and put it in her bag. "What's up? Why do you want to dine out without inviting Kevin?""We've been together for a few days now. I want us t
"You don't need to walk me all the way in," Regina said politely. "No, I can't leave you alone. Besides, I want to meet your child. You might be pushing me away because of your kid, right? If I can get him to like me, you'll accept me too, won't you?" Harlan replied with confidence. Regina looked at him seriously. "Harlan, don't waste your time on me. You deserve someone better. My life is too complicated right now; you might regret it." Harlan smiled gently. "It's okay. I'm ready to face everything. I'd regret it more if I let you go." Regina gazed into his eyes and saw his sincerity. "Alright. If you can love my son, I'll warn him, but you must be genuinely sincere to him." Harlan nodded. *** "Kevin, why are you outside?" Regina asked worriedly as she arrived at the apartment door with Harlan. "Uncle Harlan, take Mom away. Dad is raging inside. I don't want Mom to get hurt," Kevin said seriously, looking at Ha
Regina stood silent for a moment, stunned by Kevin's unexpected request. "Kevin, isn't this... I thought you didn't want me and Henry to separate. Why are you suggesting this?" "Because Dad doesn't care about your feelings anymore. I don't want you to endure his betrayal. If Dad has chosen another woman, why can't you be with someone who makes you happy? I just want to see you happy." Regina hugged Kevin tightly. "Kevin, thank you for thinking about me. I'll try to meet someone else, and I promise he will treat you even better than Henry did." Kevin's small arms hugged her back. "You don't need to worry about me, Mom. As long as you find someone you love, I'm okay with whoever it is." Regina smiled and gently brushed Kevin's hair. "Now, let's get you to bed." Kevin nodded and quickly climbed into bed. Regina lay down beside him. Despite her efforts to sle
Regina clenched her fist as she looked at the photo circulating on the internet. Even though it had been a while, she could still recognize the woman's face. "So, they're back together?"Her phone was swiftly snatched by Rey. "No need to dwell on gossip that distracts you from your work. If you can't concentrate, you might as well not work at all. Luckily, I'm still giving you the chance to work in a leadership position.""I know. I just happened to see the photo." Regina typed something back.Rey placed Regina's phone down. "Should I get rid of that woman? Henry seems happier with her than with you."Regina took a deep breath, trying to calm herself from the onslaught of emotions. "There's no need, Brother. I don't want to meddle in his personal affairs."Rey sneered at her, "Didn't you defy Dad to marry him, and you were so stubborn about refusing to cooperate with me and Dad just because of that man. Has your love faded now?""I don't want to discuss it. Don't you have a client mee
"Regina will be the CEO of the company, replacing me!" Mr. Tan asserted. "Regina, could you say something to our colleagues?"Regina averted her gaze. She tried to calm her feelings and thoughts. However, a loud voice suddenly erupted. "I didn't give you permission!"The man, none other than Henry, immediately stepped onto the stage and grabbed Regina's hand. "Come with me!"Rey quickly restrained Henry's hand. "Just because you're her husband, does that give you the right to dictate what Regina does?"Henry glared at the man. "You're just an outsider, better stay out of this!""Outsider?" Rey smirked bitterly. "I'm her brother. I have every right to defend my sister.""That's enough!" Mr. Tan halted the debate between the two men. "Henry Jian, release your grip on my daughter."Henry chuckled instead. "Now you're calling her your daughter just because she obeys you? Have you forgotten how you mistreated her?""Don't speak out of turn. I could have security drag you out for causing a
"Ma'am, where are you headed?" the real estate agent halted Regina."I'm no longer renting this place!" Regina quickly dashed away.The agent reached for her phone. "Sir, the lady has fled. I've successfully deceived her," a sly smile etched on the woman's lips.***Regina struggled to open her car door, her trembling body making it difficult. Something called out to her from behind. Nervously, Regina turned around."You? What are you doing here?" Regina was surprised to see Henry.Instead of answering, Henry mocked her. "Are you so broke that you're looking at this run-down apartmen? You won't find a decent home."Regina began to realize something. "Are you the one who's been sabotaging my efforts to find a house all this time? If you want revenge, this isn't the way!" Regina felt anger and frustration. "Stop meddling in my affairs!"Henry just smirked. "Do you think you can just walk away from me after what you've done? It's not that easy. I'll never let you go.""What do you really
"You're leaving? Where could you possibly go? It's not easy to find a place on short notice," Regina scoffed."That's my concern!" Regina stormed out, not needing to pack anything since everything belonged to Henry.As she passed through the hallway, she ran into her assistant, who sneered, "Foolish woman, you walked right into their trap."Regina spun around. Her assistant turned to face her with a condescending smile. "You! Are you conspiring with them? If Henry finds out, then you--""Mrs. Regina, you should worry about yourself before threatening me. I'm not as naive as you, falling so easily into this game!" Her assistant turned away. Regina clenched her fists, cursing herself for not being suspicious of the woman earlier.***When she arrived home, Regina immediately instructed Kevin to pack his clothes. "Kevin, pack your things. We're leaving this house now."Kevin looked confused. "Mom, why do we have to leave? And where's Dad?""Forget about your father. It's better if we cut
Henry clenched his fists as he watched the video. "Damn it, what kind of game is this? Could someone inside the company be involved?" "I believe so. CEO Jian, actually Mr. Jian, contacted me and said that if you want to know who's behind this, you need to meet him." Henry paused for a moment. "Alright, arrange a meeting with Papa immediately!" His assistant pulled the car over to a safe spot and began sending a message to Mr. Jian. *** "So, Henry. Didn't I warn you that bringing that woman into the company would only lead to losses?" Mr. Jian sneered at his son who had just arrived. Henry calmly pulled out a chair. "Did you call me here just to blame Regina? This might not be her fault; for all we know, you could be involved." Mr. Jian stared sharply at him. "Are you accusing your own father? After you watch this recording, will you still trust your wife?" "Is this edited?" Henry refused to believe it. "See for yourself and decide if it's manipulated," Mr. Jian repli
“Absolutely, I’m sure!” Regina answered firmly. CEO Smith eyed her for a moment, then gave a short nod. “Alright, I’ll give you one week. But remember, if you fail, keep your promise!” Regina nodded, reaffirming her decision. “Thank you for this opportunity. We won’t let you down.” Once the meeting concluded, Regina and her assistant exited the conference room. CEO Smith then reached for his phone. “Hello, CEO Jian…” *** Regina began working tirelessly. She met with the representatives from the game company responsible for the project. “I’ll provide additional funding, but I expect you to finish within a week!” “What? How can we complete it that quickly? We need—” Regina swiftly interrupted. “It doesn’t need to be perfect, just of high enough quality to release.” “We’ll do our best, Mrs. Regina,” the game company’s representative responded eagerly. Regina nodded. “I trust your team’s capabilities. Do whatever it takes to get this project done.” She believed everything was g
A woman's voice yelled in the meeting hall, "This decision is unacceptable!" Regina, an attractive woman with dark eyes, voiced her disagreement with the unfair verdict against her. She couldn’t believe her rival company had been chosen over hers. Resenting the selection of a company led by someone she despised for the hotel project, Regina felt cheated. "CEO Kim, didn’t you consider that Grace Company's offer was better than Jian Company's? Why did you choose CEO Jian instead? Wasn't that our initial agreement?” “Questioning a client's decision is highly unprofessional,” replied Henry Miller Jian sharply. Exuding authority with his pristine appearance—neatly styled black hair, a handsome face with a firm jawline, fair skin, thick eyebrows, and sharp almond-shaped brown eyes—his demeanor radiated superiority, and a smirk played at the corners of his lips. “However, it’s understandable. She's new to this industry.” Regina glared at him, her eyes filled with loathing. Clenching her sl...
