The door bursts open, revealing a towering figure with a face etched with fury. Behind him, a dozen black-suited bodyguards, all imposing and agile, move with a quiet intensity. The hotel manager, who has just opened the door, pales and shrinks back, his eyes wide with a mix of curiosity and fear. He has no idea what is unfolding inside, but prays for the best. Anything else would not only damage the hotel's reputation, but also threaten his own position.Ryan steps into the room and sees Eudora lying on the bed, clad only in lingerie, surrounded by four strange men and Bonnie, who is holding a video camera. His eyes narrow, burning with a rage that threatens to consume him. He wants nothing more than to send them all straight to hell.He signals for his bodyguards to move in and take them down, while he quickly sheds his jacket and drapes it over Eudora.He gently helps her sit up.“Eudora, are you okay?” he asks, his voice laced with urgency.“Y

Ten hours have passed, and Eudora's temperature seesaws between high fever and low, her unconsciousness unbroken, showing no sign of improvement. Ryan remains constantly at her bedside, neither returning home nor going to the office. His assistant brings urgent documents to the hospital; otherwise, he works through his laptop. He only rests by briefly dozing on the sofa when exhaustion overcomes him - in short, he never leaves Eudora's side.After reviewing a lengthy report on his screen, he rubs his eyes wearily and turns to look at the bed. Seeing that Eudora is showing signs of waking up, he jumps up in delight and rushes to her side.“Eudora, Eudora,” he gently shakes her shoulder and calls out softly.Eudora slowly opens her eyes, meeting the familiar handsome face she used to see every morning when she woke up.Her mind is a jumbled mess, unable to think clearly or understand why Ryan looks so overjoyed.“How are you feeling? Are you dizzy, nauseous, or any

Ryan doesn't just report on Maxsan's troubles; he issues a stark warning about targeting the company on the stock market - a threat he clearly intends to carry out. News of Maxsan's impending bankruptcy spreads like wildfire, growing exponentially with each passing hour.By Monday morning, when trading opened, Maxsan's stock price had already plummeted, leaving investors anxious and apprehensive.That same day, Eudora is released from the hospital and returns to her apartment. Ryan, instead of going to work, stays home to care for her.Ralph stands outside, ringing the doorbell. After waiting for a couple of minutes, Eudora opens the door. Seeing her there, he is a little surprised, but then he thinks, “Of course.” Rumors about her and their boss's relationship were swirling around the office, so it isn't surprising they are living together.Ralph is one of the few people at the company who doesn't join in the gossip, treating Eudora the same way he always has,

Bernard set down his phone, slumped back against the sofa, and wearily rubbed his forehead. Just a few days had passed, but he seemed to have aged ten years, his hair a mess, his beard unkempt.Bonnie cautiously poked her head out of her room. She looked anxious and uneasy. She knew her father's company was in serious trouble, and she was the one who had caused it. So, for the past three days, she had stayed inside, obediently, not daring to go out and play.She couldn't believe how ruthless Ryan was. She just wanted to give Eudora a little taste of her own medicine, but she never expected such a brutal payback from him. If she knew he was a crazy dude, she wouldn't have messed with him, even if it meant she'd be six feet under.“Dad, how are you doing?” she sidled up to Bernard and asked softly.Bernard looked at his daughter, his eyes showing how tired and helpless he felt. He had two sons, and his wife didn't have another kid until he was forty. He always doted on his little girl,

Ryan stayed at home for three straight days, working in the study with Ralph. Even though Eudora didn't ask, she knew what he was up to. She'd been following the news online and knew all about how Maxsan Group's stock was being targeted. Honestly, at first, she wondered if maybe Ryan was doing this to help her get her anger out? But she quickly dismissed that idea. No matter why Ryan started this fight, he was the one who would benefit the most. She was past the age of naive twenty, no longer dreaming of things that weren't realistic, especially after the night she slept with Ryan's partner. They were done.Seeing her sitting lost in thought on the sofa, Ryan came over and asked?“What's got you so lost in thought?”The sudden sound next to her made Eudora jump. She snapped out of her thoughts and came back to reality.“Nothing,” she shook her head, then asked, “Are you done with work?”Ryan nodded, looking pretty happy about something.“So... how's Maxsan do

Eudora took a whole week to just chill at home and recover. She went to the hospital to check on Donna, and she was so happy to see how much better she was doing.Then, the next week, she finally started her new job in the design department at Foenix. It was crazy how much things had changed in seven years! She didn't recognize anyone, and even the head of the design department was some famous designer from Europe.But the good thing was, no one knew about Eudora or her whole big deal with Ryan.The new CEO, Vheris William, was put in charge by the family to take over after Ryan. He really respected Ryan, so he was kind of watching out for anyone Ryan had recommended. Because Vheris was so nice to Eudora, everyone in the design department thought she must be some kind of special case, like maybe she was a "legacy hire" who was just there for the experience. They even thought she was just a party girl who never studied and her family just put her in the company when she was old enough.

Eudora practically exploded out of Jeffrey's office, furious and heartbroken. Seven years since she'd left the city, seven years since she'd seen Clenda, but the memory of Clenda's kindness was still so strong. She couldn't believe someone so warm could do something so awful.The anger was a knot in her stomach, twisting and burning. It wouldn't let up, not even when she got home.Eudora longed to confront Clenda, to hear her explanation for this betrayal. So she sat down, grabbed her phone, and dialed a number she hadn't used in seven long years.The phone only rang a few times before someone picked up.“Hello,” a voice answered. It was familiar, and Eudora felt a wave of relief. At least Clenda hadn't changed her number. “Clenda, it's me, Eudora,” she said quickly.There was a five-second pause. “Is that you? It's been so long, I thought I was hearing things. How are you?” Clenda finally replied.“I'm fine. I'm back in Foenix working. Why did you steal my final project without

A veil of steam obscured the clear glass. The sound of rushing water flowed from within, punctuated by the rhythmic collision of two bodies.A soft moan escaped from the delicate lips, sometimes held back, patient, as if in extreme agony, sometimes rising, as if reaching the peak of pleasure.Ryan pressed Eudora against the wall, his lips seeking hers. He lifted one of her legs, resting it on his shoulder, leaving her body off-balance. She could only stand by using her remaining foot and reaching up to hold onto his neck. Her intimate area was exposed, invitingly open, as Ryan continued to thrust in and out. The sound of their bodies meeting was a constant, wet rhythm.Their kiss finally broke, Ryan pulling back, leaving a thin thread of saliva between them.“Ryan, slow down... slow down,” Eudora whispered, her voice barely a breath, as if begging him to savor the moment.“What's wrong, sweetheart? You're obviously loving it,” he murmured, his voice husky with desire, making him even

The air was thick with the fragrance of the meal, a simple spread of home-cooked dishes. While not extravagant or particularly elaborate, the ordinariness of it all stirred a profound emotion within Ryan. He felt a warmth he had been yearning for, a sense of belonging, of family.Taking a bite of mushroom, he savored the familiar flavors, the warmth spreading through him like a comforting embrace. He, Eudora, a family – was it truly possible?“Does it taste alright?” Eudora asked, her voice soft and caring, instantly easing Ryan's anxieties.He nodded, a smile gracing his lips. Eudora, ever attentive, then picked up a piece of meat from the dish he favored most – the chicken, shredded to perfection, its sweetness mingling with the freshness of the mushrooms and vegetables, creating a symphony of flavors that melted on his tongue, leaving him utterly satisfied.“It's delicious,” Ryan declared, his praise heartfelt.Eudora smiled, her eyes fixed on him as he continued to enjoy the meal.

Donna slept like a log. When she finally woke up, her parents were gone. She looked everywhere, but the only room she hadn't checked was her dad's, and it was closed. Just as she was about to knock, the butler stopped her. He put a finger to his lips and whispered, “Your parents just got home from the hospital. They're still really tired and need to rest.”Donna wasn't buying it. She pouted and said, “But I wanna play with them!” “You can play with me,” the butler said. “Come downstairs, the chef made pudding for you today.” Hearing about the pudding, Donna forgot her parents for a minute and ran off to find the chef.“Slow down, honey, no running on the stairs!” the butler called, his old legs struggling to keep up with Donna's little legs.Inside the bedroom, Eudora lay face down on the bed, panting, “I… I think Donna is calling for us.”Ryan covered her, his body relentlessly moving. He seemed frustrated by her distraction and increased his speed, forcing her to bury her face i

The luxurious car pulled up in front of the grand mansion. Ryan stepped out, his face beaming. One arm was still wrapped in a brace, while the other held tightly onto Eudora’s hand. Together, they walked inside, exuding the confidence of a warrior returning from a glorious victory.“Dad! Mom!” Donna squealed with joy and ran over to hug them tightly.Today was the day Ryan was discharged from the hospital, a cause for celebration. The chef took the chance to show off his skills, preparing a meal that had everyone thoroughly enjoying themselves.After lunch, Donna could barely keep her eyes open. She had been so excited about her parents coming home that she stayed up late at night and woke up early to wait for them. Now, completely worn out, she dozed off on the sofa without anyone needing to lull her to sleep.Eudora carried her to her room, but as she stepped back out, Ryan called her over.“Come check my back. It’s itching like crazy!”She sighed and followed him, grumbling as she

While Ryan and Eudora's relationship was growing stronger and his health was recovering smoothly, Clenda was still facing her sentence.Despite the overwhelming evidence against her, Clenda admitted her guilt and also exposed Bonnie's illegal actions.Although it all started with Clenda, who actively approached Bonnie and urged her to harm Eudora, the plan failed, and Clenda became the target of Bonnie's revenge. From a cause-and-effect perspective, Clenda brought this upon herself, but legally, Bonnie had committed crimes such as rape, coercion, blackmail, and defamation, and she had to face the consequences.When Bonnie's father heard the news, he was completely shocked. This time, he refused to step in and help Bonnie cover things up. His daughter had gone too far, and it was time for her to learn a lesson. If he continued to protect her, she would never grow up. More importantly, he couldn't bear Ryan's retaliation.Eudora, hearing Ryan's account, felt a mix of emotions. “Evil wil

He smirked. “I mean, I don’t need the medicine. A kiss from you will do the trick.”As he spoke, he lifted his head, looking at Eudora with hopeful eyes. Over the past half-month, their relationship had improved a lot, but because of his injuries, and his fear of pushing too fast and making her uncomfortable, they had only held hands so far.Eudora’s face heated up. They had been much more intimate before, knew each other’s bodies better than anyone. But now, faced with Ryan’s simple request, she found herself feeling strangely shy.“Can’t do it?” he asked.Under Ryan’s pleading gaze, she lowered her head and pressed a quick kiss to his cheek, light as a butterfly’s touch, there for a second before flitting away.Ryan was momentarily stunned, then looked at her again, eyes full of longing, clearly wanting more.Eudora chuckled. “Feeling better now?”He shook his head. “You kissed the wrong spot. It still hurts,” he said, pointing to his lips.She shot him a look and huffed, “You have

Ryan woke up to a stark white ceiling above him, the faint scent of antiseptic in the air reminding him that he was in a hospital.A sharp pain hit him all at once, making him groan in agony. But he didn’t have time to care about that. His first thought was: How is Eudora?Ralph was sitting by his bedside. Seeing Ryan wake up, he immediately pressed the call button for the doctor.“Where’s Eudora? How is she?” Ryan asked anxiously.“She’s resting in the room next door,” Ralph replied. “She stayed here the whole time. I had to convince her to get some sleep. She’s only been resting for about an hour.”“Is she okay?” Ryan pressed on.“She inhaled a lot of smoke. Luckily, her lungs weren’t affected, but she’s still coughing. The doctors said they need to keep an eye on her for now.”Hearing that, Ryan felt somewhat relieved.Just then, a team of medical staff entered to check on him. After confirming that everything was stable, the doctor gave a few instructions before leaving.The momen

Thick smoke billowed, and the scorching heat felt like it was searing Ryan’s lungs. But he didn’t care, he was willing to risk everything to find the woman he loved.“Eudora, where are you? Answer me!”His desperate voice cut through the chaos, making Eudora wonder if she was imagining things. She forced her stinging eyes open, trying to focus, and rasped weakly,“I’m here, Ryan… I’m here… cough… cough… cough…”As soon as she spoke, she was overcome by another fit of coughing.Through the thick smoke, Ryan finally caught sight of Eudora tied tightly to the staircase railing near the window. His heart clenched, and without hesitation, he dashed toward her.“Don’t be scared, I’m here!”His voice was hoarse but filled with warmth. Eudora looked up in anticipation, and through the suffocating smoke, she saw his tall figure cutting through the haze, framed by the raging flames behind him. At that moment, only one thought filled her mind - he was her hero.Ryan’s mind was far from calm, des

Eudora knew that in Clenda’s state of complete rage, reasoning with her was pointless. All she could do was keep trying to calm her down,“Clenda, please, just take a breath. We can talk this through. I don’t know exactly what happened between you and Bonnie, but if you let me go, I swear Ryan will help you. You have my word on that.”“Clenda, we’re both young. We have our whole lives ahead of us. Don’t throw yours away like this.”But Clenda wasn’t listening. Instead, she lashed out and slapped Eudora again, her eyes wild and furious like a cornered animal. She screamed,“You think this isn’t your fault?! When you put all that stuff online, did you even stop to think about what would happen to me?! I’ve lost everything, there’s no way to fix it anymore! You’re dying with me! I’m not going alone!”Eudora shook her head. The burning pain on her face was nothing compared to the fear tightening in her chest. She didn’t want to die. She had a daughter, a career that was just starting, and

“Come on, don’t cry. This is a good thing,” Ryan said gently.Eudora sniffled and took the handkerchief he handed her, quickly wiping her tears.“I’m okay, just a little emotional.”Ryan gave her a soft look. “Don’t worry, no one’s going to steal your credit anymore.”Eudora glanced at him with a complicated expression, then quickly looked away, avoiding his gaze. Ryan knew he had to take things slow and keep a little distance.“You’re going out with your team tonight, right?”Eudora nodded.“What time are you leaving?”“Around five.”“I’ll drive you.”Eudora shook her head. “No, stay home with our daughter. We’re just eating nearby.”Ryan nodded but still reminded her, “If you’re driving, don’t drink, okay?”“Of course not. I’ll be home early to spend time with her. I’ve been so busy this past month, I haven’t given her enough attention.”That night, Eudora and her entire team from the Couture Étoile competition had a blast celebrating. Wanting to show her appreciation, she generousl

Eudora washed her face and changed her clothes before heading straight to the dining room to have a meal with Ryan. She didn’t have the habit of using her phone while eating, so it wasn’t until after lunch that she realized the internet had erupted into a frenzy.She stared at her phone, mouth agape, for a long moment. Eudora could hardly believe it, within the span of a single meal, Clenda’s reputation had been completely dragged through the mud.“Oh my god, not a single design in the entire collection belongs to Clenda!” she exclaimed in shock.Sitting beside her, Ryan appeared relaxed, as if everything was well within his control.“You already know what she’s capable of and what kind of person she is, don’t you?” he said casually.Eudora looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Was it you?”Ryan neither confirmed nor denied it. He simply said, “She brought this on herself.”Only then did Eudora recall what had happened to her the night before.“How did you manage to
