Raline gave her chest a little rub. She'd even finished the bottle of mineral water her assistant had given her, but it hadn't made her feel any less surprised about tonight. It was supposed to be a great night for her. The launch went well, she met up with some old friends, there weren't any problems, including a nice dinner together, and her assistant told her that the new product launch graph had stabilized and was sure to dominate the market.But there was one thing Raline had missed: the drama."Are you okay?" Viona asked, looking concerned. It was pretty unusual for SK Platinum's CEO to lose control like this. Her face also looked pale and dazed. "Your car is ready and waiting for you. We can drop you off right away.""What about Helena?" Raline asked. She realized she needed to think about the person she'd just met. "I can't leave without knowing how Helena is.""You can relax. Mr. Thomas picked up Miss Helena. You must not have noticed Mr. Thomas' arrival just before Miss Hele
"I just can't help myself anymore, Helena!" Thomas said, sounding frustrated. His eyes were red with irritation, and his hands were clenched into fists as he tried to stop himself from destroying everything around him. It was a way for him to channel his frustration over what had happened to his sister."I'm okay, Thomas," Helena said with a small smile. Although she had a long scratch on her forehead from an earlier impact, Helena was otherwise fine. There was no need to worry, including about her pregnancy. Helena was really lucky because when she woke up earlier, the only thing she was worried about was the condition of her fetus.Luckily, the doctor who examined her put Helena's mind at ease on that front."I know you want to vent your frustration on them," Thomas said, pulling out a chair at the edge of the bed. It made a rather rude sound, and Thomas's handsome face still looked fierce. It seemed like whoever interrupted him tonight would end up in trouble because Thomas was fee
Michael closed his eyes and tried to bear the heat and pain that spread across his face. He was pretty sure that the area where his father had hit him directly had left a reddish mark. Michael even thought he could feel the corners of his lips were cut by the blow."You idiot!" Tomy Andreas was livid. The tall, well-built man was taken aback by the unexpected news. "What were you doing on the show if you were caught off guard by Helena?""My apologies." That was all Michael could say in the moment. He owned up to his mistake. One of the interns at the hospital where he worked struck up a conversation with him. He wasn't paying much attention to Helena because he thought she was talking to the event owner."I don't even know how to handle Mr. Thomas in a situation like this!" Tommy was clearly frustrated. "Any word on Helena's condition?" he asked the people around him. Tommy wasn't one to shy away from holding anyone accountable when he felt they'd made a mistak
Tiara let out a few growls in frustration. She felt like smashing the desk with all the files just to get some frustration out. But Tiara managed to restrain herself. She tried to avoid making a scene in her room.She still couldn't get over what happened last night, including how Raline treated her. "How could she just kick me out like that?" She clenched her fist and brought it down on the table. It made quite a noise, but Tiara didn't care."Is that how you normally express your anger?"Tiara's voice was met with an annoyed chuckle. "What's Papa doing here?"Deny Jacob gave a little grin. "Just a heads-up, this is still my office, Tiara."Tiara let out a snort as she crossed her arms. "I don't want to go over what happened last night in detail. I was right, and I stand by that. If you want to blame me, I don't mind."Deny laughed. "I won't blame my favorite daughter." He opted to sit not far from Tiara's position. "Shouldn't you be focusing your energy on more productive things?"Ti
"I'm really sorry," Tiara said with a slight bow, indicating that she regretted what had happened that night. The first person she met was Raline, who was a step towards gaining trust in the socialite group. This was the perfect opportunity for Tiara to show her social status.It was tough, but Tiara knew she had to make a connection with Raline Kyler.Raline was looking at her, not quite ready to continue the conversation. If it weren't for her past relationship and Tiara's helpful presence when Raline needed support, she might have said no to the meeting. However, Raline was also curious about why Tiara had decided to meet with her, other than to apologize. Raline was actually quite wary of the woman, who had a slightly bad temper."I'm still not sure why you did that, Tiara," Raline said. She lifted her cup of lemon tea and took a sip, enjoying the flavor. "That was a pretty risky move.""I'm sorry," Tiara said again. "I got a bit carried away with my emotions.""Did you know Helen
"I'm sorry I didn't get to see you when you were in the hospital," Raline said. They met up at a café not far from the SK Platinum office. "After the product launch, I was pretty swamped.""No problem." Helena gave her best friend's hand a friendly pat and smiled. "I'm doing well. I'm sorry for worrying you.""But Tiara's actions were pretty outrageous," Raline grumbled. "At least the good news that you were released from the hospital three days ago was enough to put my mind at ease."Helena gave another nod. "You're really living up to your word as a major skincare manufacturer, huh.""You know exactly why I did the research and created these products, which are now being launched."They laughed together, but... Raline's laughter and smile started to fade, replaced by a sharp gaze directed at Helena. The woman she was talking to tried to keep her cool, suspecting there was more to the meeting than met the eye."Why have you not been honest with me about what you've been doing for the
Tiara's face was bright and happy. Her meeting with Raline really put her in a good mood. At least when Tiara left Raline, the woman looked indecisive. Oh... Tiara wouldn't miss the slightest chance to get Helena shunned by others, especially her best friend."Miss Tiara," one of the employees greeted her. "I've done your job - sent the bouquet to the Nakia Group headquarters. The bouquet is for Miss Helena.""You didn't forget to give her an invitation, did you?""No, Miss."Tiara nodded happily. "What's on my schedule today?"The question made the assistant take out her notepad and check again, lest she be misinformed. "You just need to check on the final preparations for the wedding.""Ah, right. My wedding is in two weeks." The twinkle in Tiara's eyes sparkled even more."And Miss Helena has accepted the invitation to have lunch with you tomorrow at the Grill House Café."Tiara's pace slowed slightly, but then her smile widened. "Good. You know what to do.""Yes, Miss."Not long af
"So, your main job is a doctor?" Helena enquired, savoring the blueberry cheesecake in front of her. She wasn't sure why she wanted this as a snack to go with her cup of chamomile tea this afternoon. Of course, there was a figure there that surprised Helena."You could say that." Michael gave a polite smile. He really put a good distance between himself and the woman in front of him to make her feel comfortable. "But if I need to take care of something that involves an important client, I can leave the hospital grounds.""Too bad." Helena took another bite of her cake. "You're pretty talented with a scalpel, though. A lot of people would like you to pick up hours at other hospitals, right?""You know a lot about me." Michael let out a short laugh."It's only natural that I know who met me. Twice by accident, and this time it was completely unexpected.""There's no way I can refuse Tommy Andreas's orders. "He's pretty intimidating, so I'd better not resist his orders," Michael joked to
