Henry raised his voice. "What's the meaning of all this? How dare you accuse my wife?"The police calmly responded, "CEO Jian, this is a case that concerns your mother, will you protect your wife? Mrs. Regina, please come with us!"Henry stood in front of Regina, blocking the police as they approached her. "Wait a minute! What evidence do you have?"The police stared at Henry seriously. "We have enough evidence to arrest Mrs. Regina for attempted murder against Mrs. Jian. We will take her for further questioning.""What evidence? All the evidence my mother showed you is just manipulated. I can testify because I witnessed the argument between my mother and my wife."Regina grabbed Henry's hand. "Henry, I will go with them. Besides, I haven't done anything wrong.""But, Regina, they might force you to--""Henry, trust me."Regina let the police take her away, leaving Henry helpless. "Meeting adjourned! You can leave, and I hope you keep your mouths shut. If anyone dares to spread it, I
The next day, articles and viral posts began to surface, accusing those who cornered Henry. The company's stock plummeted. Regina approached Henry. "Forgive me, for you're caught in the crossfire. You shouldn't have to bear this burden." Regina sincerely expressed her regret. Henry looked at Regina. "This isn't my fault, I've considered all of this." He tightly grasped Regina's hand. "What's important to me is that you don't suffer. I can handle this." "What will you do? Hold a press conference? But what if people don't believe you?" Henry sighed. "Regina, I believe the truth will come out. Even if they don't believe my words, I have to defend myself." "Then I'll stand by your side." Henry objected. "Let me face this alone." "No. I'm involved in this too. If you don't allow me, I'll still break through and be there." "Fine, you can stand by my side," Henry said, unable to refuse his wife's insistence. The room filled with reporters, Henry stood at the podium with Re
"My husband, I can't do that. Won't this hurt our family's dignity?" Mrs. Jian objected strongly. "No. It's actually better than hiding it and making the public think even worse," "I understand. This time, I'll do what you suggest," Mrs. Jian finally agreed with her husband's advice. "Remember, this time, don't deviate. If not, there might not be another chance." Mr. Jian warned his wife. Mrs. Jian reluctantly nodded. She walked away and contacted someone. *** Regina furrowed her brow at the unfamiliar number. She ignored it at first, but eventually answered. "Who is this?" Regina asked. "If you're just a prankster, I'll hang up." "It's me," the cold voice sounded familiar to Regina. Regina took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "What is it, Mrs. Jian?" Regina didn't bother asking how this woman got her number; she knew about her mother-in-law's connections. "I want us to meet and resolve this issue together!" Regina refused, "I've already forgotten what happened, and i
Henry swiftly approached to catch Regina's body. He glared angrily at the man, "What have you done to my wife? She's been nothing but kind to you!"The man eyed Henry cynically, "Kind, you say? Do you think we'd be touched by your pretentious kindness and lavish meals for your own gain? This woman is from the Tan family, isn't she? It's enough for you to oppress us!"Henry stepped forward, "You, how dare you!" Henry's expression of anger couldn't be concealed anymore. Regina restrained her husband's hand."Henry, there's no need for violence. It'll only make him hate us more," Regina tried to calm her husband's anger. Then, she looked at the man who had pushed her earlier. "I don't know what the Tan family has done to you. I sincerely apologize." Regina showed her sincerity.Henry immediately pulled Regina away and forced her into the car. "But, I drove here.""Give me the keys. Let my assistant take it home," Regina reluctantly handed over her car keys and got into the car. They didn
"My wife, I told you not to cause any trouble, didn't I?"Mrs. Jian casually set down her teacup, unaware of any issue. "Husband, what's the matter? I did something good to enhance my image, so why are you so upset?""Enhance your image, you say? Look at this video circulating online!" Mr. Jian handed her his phone.Mrs. Jian watched the video, her shock evident. "How did they get this footage without me knowing?"She had chosen a discreet place to meet, with her own paparazzi present. But someone had recorded her conversation with Regina at the restaurant.Comments about Mrs. Jian's behavior flooded social media, with shares and reposts outnumbering her original posts. "Husband, can you take all this down?""Removing the video won't change the situation now. I told you to have lunch and treat Regina kindly. That woman must have been suspicious of you from the start, planning this all along!" Mr. Jian expressed his disappointment."Hu
Regina glanced at Henry. "Yes, I went to your office, but I intercepted it before reaching your room because I thought you must be busy. Why are you staring at me so sharply? Is there something you're hiding that makes you look at me like that?"Henry softened his cold expression. "No, dear. I'll contact my Assistant and ask her to bring it." Henry messaged his Assistant.Henry stepped towards the comfortable sofa. "Sit down, I brought some lunch. You must not have had time to eat anything because you're late, right?" Henry patted the seat beside him.Regina approached, although she didn't want to see Henry after what happened, but if she refused, Henry would become more suspicious. As long as her almost-forgotten goal remained unfulfilled, she still needed to be by this man's side.Henry handed the lunch box to Regina. "Come on, eat!""Can you feed me?" Regina returned to her playful side."You're finally being playful with me again."
Regina jolted in surprise as she saw Henry standing in the doorway. "Henry, why are you back?"Henry looked at her seriously. "What's wrong? Why do you look so nervous?" His footsteps drew closer. Regina stepped back until she bumped into a chair.She collapsed into the chair. Henry extended his hand, touching her chin. "My dear wife, what are you searching for when I'm not around? Just tell me, and I'll give you anything you want."Regina looked into Henry's eyes, which were sharp and contrasting with his smiling lips. "I just wanted to sleep in your study, but I saw your documents in disarray, so I decided to tidy up."Henry smiled bitterly. "Regina, aren't you tired of pretending? I've given you what you wanted, but you desire more, don't you? Tell me, what are you looking for? Are you searching for documents that could undermine my company? Regina, are you betraying me?"Regina stopped, feeling the intense pressure of Henry's gaze. "Henry, you're the one hiding something from me.
Regina took a deep breath, attempting to control the nervous feeling in her heart. Her eyes shifted towards the figure in front of her."Brother, I'll consider it after you show me what you've found."The man grinned. "Do you think you can deceive me?""Brother, I don't have the courage to help you destroy Jian Corporation or win the battle against Dad. I would truly be of no use to you, you know that, right?" Regina spoke with a hint of humility."Regina, you underestimate yourself. If you didn't have the ability, I wouldn't have invited you to be my partner. I have good news for you; Dad is going to acknowledge me officially. I might gradually take over the company. But it's useless if Henry Jian undermines everything I need.""What do you mean, brother?" Regina inquired.The man handed her a document. "I managed to gather all the information. I didn't actually want to give it to you until you agreed, but who knows, you might change your mind."Regina scrutinized each page of the do
