The more Britney thought about it, the more absurd it seemed.

It must be the recent work pressure that was making her overthink things.

It felt like she had discovered a secret. Livia hurriedly pushed her wheelchair over, taking a fine silk cloth and covering the painting.

“You saw it, Britney…” Livia smiled awkwardly.

“Livia has the right to pursue her own happiness too,” Britney smiled gently.

Under the soft light, Livia was captivated by Britney’s beautiful, exquisite face. From the first time she saw her, Livia had sensed an elegance and nobility that came naturally to her—truly a woman from a prestigious family.

“Britney, you’re so beautiful, much more suited for Manuel than Nylah!” Livia, with her delicate oval face and dark, sparkling eyes, seemed to want to make sure Britney understood who she was talking about, adding, “Nylah, do you know her? She used to come to the Castro's villa with Manuel. Just a few days ago, Nylah came again…”

“I think I’ve seen her…”

Nylah?

    The innocent kiss gradually began to spiral out of control. A fiery heat surged from the tailbone, traveling to her lower abdomen, then deep into her heart. Manuel reluctantly pulled away, their foreheads touching as their breaths became ragged. His dark eyes lingered on her flushed lips, the misty gaze on her delicate face deepening with desire... "I'm really afraid I won’t be able to control myself." His voice was soft, like the most intoxicating wine, like the sweetest words of a lover, unintentionally stirring the heart. The sound was utterly mesmerizing. Britney thought, this voice was like poison! "Mu Mu..." The whisper was full of longing. "Mm..." Britney replied softly. "I might have to leave for a month." "Mm..." "I’ll be back before our wedding." There were still two weeks before the wedding. By the end of February, Goldmoor would welcome the spring... Their wedding would take place then. Manuel had chosen the date, saying that spring was the season Mu Mu loved.

    The next day, all the newspapers that had reported on the **Seventh Club** the day before underwent major staff changes. Several people mysteriously disappeared, leaving everyone baffled. People speculated that it had something to do with the **Seventh Club**, but the police couldn’t find any clues. They only managed to catch a couple of small-time henchmen for routine questioning, but after getting no useful information, they had to release them. This news quickly spread throughout **the Hammond Group**. Of course, while everyone was discussing this, they didn’t forget another piece of recent gossip: The Hammond family’s heiress was about to marry the eldest son of the Castro family. As soon as Britney arrived at the company that morning, she overheard the whispers of her colleagues, but she didn’t pay much attention. Carrying a stack of documents that needed the chairman’s signature, she stepped into the elevator. Unexpectedly, she ran into Barrett, the head of Group A. "Ms. H

    That night, the cold was even more intense, with temperatures around -6°C. A black sedan drove toward a private villa. This was another property of the **Hammond family**. Though it wasn’t as old as the main family estate, it was purchased by Britney's great-grandfather during his lifetime and was still considered a rare treasure. After the Maxwell family moved out of the old estate, they had been living here. Britney’s family braved the chill and entered the living room, only to find the Maxwell family sitting comfortably together, chatting and laughing without any intention of greeting them. “Conrad’s parents heard that I’m expecting a boy. They’re so happy they can’t stop smiling! Conrad, don’t you think so?” Stephanie said, her face full of smiles. It wasn’t clear whether she meant this to be heard by Britney. “Yes! Mom and Dad are very happy. Actually, whether it’s a boy or a girl, they’ll love it,” Conrad replied, sitting with Stephanie with their backs to the entrance. “H

    “Dad, Conrad still needs to drive later!” Stephanie tried to dissuade him.In front of her younger brother and others, Maxwell’s authoritative presence kicked in. He wouldn’t tolerate being contradicted, even if it was his own daughter.“We still have a driver at home!” “Let Conrad have a drink with you and Quinten. It’s rare that he’s home,” Jamiya said to her daughter. Conrad stood up and moved towards Maxwell’s side. “It’s fine! I can’t take care of you, so make sure you eat well! It’s good for the baby.” Hearing Conrad’s words of concern, Stephanie felt a wave of happiness. It was the first time he had ever expressed care for her pregnancy. Britney, sitting next to Diana, gracefully settled into her seat. Meanwhile, Britney received a multimedia message from Manuel. “Do you like it? Here’s a design for the matching rings I’ve been working on. Can’t wait for you to see it first.” On the white paper, the grey pencil sketches outlined the general shapes. The men’s ring was slee

    Stephanie and her mother, Jamiya, were in the room looking at clothes when suddenly, Stephanie remembered there was someone else in the house who made her uneasy. She rushed downstairs, but Britney was nowhere to be found, and Conrad was also missing. Thinking of the only possible explanation, Stephanie hurried to the garden. To her surprise, she saw it—Conrad was holding Britney! So, Conrad still had feelings for Britney… Britney, didn’t you agree to marry Manuel? And now you’re letting Conrad hold you like this without resistance? Isn’t this too embarrassing? She turned around and quickly returned to the living room. In the cold wind, Britney and Conrad stood facing each other. Catching sight of the figure walking away, Britney smiled faintly. Since there wasn’t time to deal with her right now, why not give her some trouble? Since Stephanie had gone so far, she wouldn’t feel sorry for her in the future! “Manuel can’t give you what you need, but you think Conrad can?” Britney

    “Geovanni, apologize to Mr. Fletcher!” Britney turned and sternly addressed Geovanni, who was standing behind her. Geovanni thought he had misheard. Pointing at himself, he said, “Apologize to him? Britney, are you out of your mind? Why should I?” “If you don’t apologize, I’ll show you what it feels like to have the door slammed on you!” Britney raised her brow, her tone full of authority. “If you don’t understand, let me spell it out for you. The person sitting here is your direct superior! And who told you to throw company documents on the ground? Every piece of paper at the Hammond Group, even scrap paper, could be company confidential! If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility for it?” “You…” Geovanni was speechless. He didn’t expect Britney to take advantage of this situation, making him, the future heir, apologize to a Sales Department manager in front of so many people. How would he hold his head high in the Hammond Group after this? “Why? Are you afraid?” Britne

    After finishing their Western meal, Britney took Karsyn shopping. They wandered from Universal Mall to New World Mall. Over the years, Britney wouldn’t say she fully understood the tastes of the Schwartz family, but at least she had a good grasp of them. The Schwartz family preferred high-end, tasteful items and had very particular standards. Britney put in a lot of effort choosing gifts, hoping that Karsyn would leave a good impression when meeting the Schwartz family for the first time. After picking out the gifts, they noticed it was still early. The two of them went into a luxury lingerie store, where the manager instantly recognized them as VIP customers and warmly introduced the latest arrivals. “Britney, this lingerie looks perfect on you! Why don’t I give it to you as a wedding gift?” Karsyn laughed mischievously. The pink leopard print set, with a mix of leopard spots and black lace, was both seductive and delicate. The thin straps were adorned with dazzling rhinestones, a

    C&B Winery.Today, Geovanni felt frustrated all day long and had nowhere to vent. He asked Stephanie for Conrad's phone number and arranged to meet at the winery after work.This private winery was Conrad's own private property, named after the initials of Britney and Conrad. It symbolizes Conrad's love for Britney.Conrad took out a bottle of red wine he had cherished for a long time and sat down across from Geovanni with his long legs."What's wrong? You look gloomy."Geovanni was torn inside, whether to tell his brother-in-law or not. However, he thought about everyone around him and couldn't find a suitable confidant."Conrad..." Geovanni slowly opened up and faithfully recounted everything that had happened at the company during the day to Conrad, leaving out not a single detail.Conrad shook the liquid in his cup and listened attentively. He looked down upon the inexperienced Geovanni. However, Alexzander had instructed him to win him over, as it would be beneficial for them in

    Skyler had fallen asleep, but her mind remained alert. After all, Raiden had left a psychological scar on her today.As soon as Raiden mentioned being hungry, she couldn't help but complain to herself. He hadn't felt hungry earlier, and now, suddenly, he was.But despite the resentment in her heart, she didn’t dare voice it. After all, he was the young master, and she was just a servant..."Should I heat it up for you?" Since this "ancestor" had called for her, it was clear he wouldn’t do it himself. And it was late, so the other family members had likely already gone to sleep.Sure enough, the young master kicked his feet and said, "Should I do it myself?" If he was going to do it himself, why bother calling her? The real reason was that he couldn’t sleep and, seeing her sleep soundly beside him, a psychological urge stirred within him.If he couldn’t sleep, neither should she. It was a kind of unhealthy mentality.He wanted to wake her up

    Skyler finally had the chance to observe the entire room. The decor was simple yet refined.A large sky-blue bed, a desk with a desktop LCD computer, and some model decorations—all expensive just at a glance. It matched his unruly personality well. However, it was clear he didn’t come home often; everything here still looked brand new."Where are you sleeping? Why are you asking me?"Since his father let her move in, he must have arranged a place for her."Do you have an extra blanket? I’ll sleep on the floor."The bed was big enough for two people, and she had slept with him before—otherwise, how would she have gotten pregnant? But at this moment, she didn’t dare sleep with him. She hadn’t forgotten the way he had looked downstairs, as if he wanted to devour her alive.She didn’t dare provoke him again, afraid that if she shared a bed with him, she might not even know how she died.She knew t

    "Do you think you've found yourself a backer now? Is that why you feel so important?"Raiden’s tone was full of sarcasm.He looked exactly like a little kid afraid of losing his father's love.It’s often said that women mature faster than men, and Skyler was one of those women. She could see exactly what Raiden was upset about, and a smile tugged at her lips."No, Mr.Calderon! My biggest backer is you," Skyler admitted her mistake.Like hell he’d believe that! The innocence she had before was completely gone now.Raiden let out a cold snort and sneered, "Skyler, I didn't expect your appetite to be this big. First, you took my house, and now, in the blink of an eye, you've managed to squeeze a fortune out of my dad. Did your brain suddenly become enlightened? You’re making money at an impressive speed!""Mr.Calderon, I did go back on my word in this matter. I’m sorry! Here’s the key to the house you

    Every parent, when talking about their child, always wears the kindest smile. Frankie was no exception. And when he thought about the fact that he would soon become a grandfather, his mood improved even more.Feeling good, he couldn’t help but chat a little more with Skyler.As Frankie flipped through old photos of Raiden’s childhood and talked about his younger days, Skyler truly saw how adorable he had been as a child.Uncle Calderon wasn’t lying—Mr.Calderon had been handsome since he was little.Big eyes, double eyelids, a high nose bridge, rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and fair skin—all combined with that charmingly arrogant expression…Skyler subconsciously placed her hand on her belly, wondering if the baby inside would be just as good-looking. If it were a girl and took after Mr.Calderon, she certainly wouldn’t be unattractive."Master, dinner is ready!" a servant came forward and announced.

    "She should take a good look at herself! She doesn't want to marry me?" Raiden shouted.Who did she think she was? And who was he? Since when did a woman have the right to reject him?Since he was old enough to understand things, he had been surrounded by countless women, all vying for his attention. Which woman didn't want to marry him?Raiden sneered internally. This woman was definitely playing hard to get in front of his father, trying to win his favor so that he would pressure him into marrying her.I didn't see this coming.Skyler, so you dare play tricks on me!Skyler shivered slightly under Raiden’s sharp gaze. Was it a crime now to not want to marry him?Frankie stepped forward and kicked his own son. "And you should take a good look at yourself!"That kick wasn’t light. Raiden gasped in pain and quickly pulled his leg back to clutch it.Damn it!He was almost thirty, yet his old man still kicked him with

    When Raiden walked in, he actually found that woman in his house!Without a word, he rushed up to her, grabbed her wrist, and started dragging her outside with large strides."Mr.Calderon, what are you doing?" Caught off guard by his strength, Skyler’s wrist throbbed in pain as she frowned and couldn't help but cry out."Don't ask, just come with me!"As soon as Raiden received a call from the person he had arranged to take Skyler to the hospital, he rushed back immediately.He had sent her to get an abortion, and she was already on the operating table—yet somehow, the old trickster in his family had intercepted her! Just thinking about how the plan was almost completed but was suddenly interrupted made him incredibly frustrated.How could he not know what that old fox was scheming?For the past few years, every time he returned home, the old man would pester him about marriage. Eventually, he got so fed up that he outrigh

    Frankie was setting up Skyler, but unfortunately, she was too young and inexperienced to realize it. She had never encountered such schemes before, let alone faced an old fox like Frankie.At first, Skyler had no idea who had decided against her abortion. It wasn’t until she had spoken with Frankie for a while that she finally understood—it was the old master himself who wanted to keep his grandchild.She had already promised Raiden that she would terminate the pregnancy, and she had struggled internally for a long time. But in the end, her heart leaned toward keeping the child.“However, I have three conditions.”“Go ahead, go ahead…” Frankie was so delighted that she had agreed that he would have accepted a hundred conditions if necessary.“First, after the child is born, I want to be able to visit them whenever I wish. But you can rest assured—I will only be visiting the child and will have

    Raiden’s Father...Hearing Frankie's words, Skyler couldn't help but look up. He wasn’t like what she had imagined. The middle-aged man in front of her was well-maintained, looking energetic and full of vitality. His smile was warm and friendly. There were indeed some resemblances between him and Raiden—he must have been quite a charming man in his younger years.Seeing her subtly relax, Frankie chuckled, “What do you think? Not quite what you imagined, right?”Having her thoughts seen through so easily, Skyler blushed, feeling slightly embarrassed. “It’s a bit different from what I expected,” she admitted.“Sit down and talk. I’m not used to looking up at people while speaking.” Frankie deliberately said this, knowing that otherwise, she wouldn’t sit down.Just as he had anticipated, Skyler realized that standing while talking to someone like this was somewhat impolite.

    Skyler looked at the cold, sterile operating table, her steps heavy as she walked over and lay down with the nurse’s help. Staring at her still-flat stomach, she silently whispered to the tiny life inside her, "Baby, I'm sorry."He had been so well-behaved. She had heard that during the first three months of pregnancy, morning sickness was common, sometimes severe enough to make one feel like the world was spinning. Yet, she hadn’t experienced any of that—she felt just like a normal person. She knew her baby must be a very obedient child.Unfortunately, she had no ability to keep him. If she forced his birth, he would only suffer alongside her.So, I’m sorry. It’s because I’m not brave enough…She had never intended to keep this child, but that didn’t mean she had no feelings for him. He was, after all, her own flesh and blood."Miss Oneal, we’re going to administer the anesthesia now. Try to r
