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

"So, what brings you to my office, Mr. Tan?" Helena asked, her voice calm. In front of her was a stack of files that Wilna had given her as a reference for their discussion. But Helena wasn't interested in discussing the current production. She was waiting for the right moment to grill Arslan about his work.The woman tried to stay calm and put on her best smile as she faced Arslan, who was really testing her patience. Sometimes she thought, "How could I have been so stupid to give my heart to a man I didn't know at all?"He's a cunning guy who's always trying to be at the top. He plays the part of needing support well, but he also puts pressure on you that you can't ignore."Is my visit inconvenient for you, Ms. Edison?" Arslan took a moment to straighten his back. Since his ex-wife showed up at the meeting, he hadn't looked away. Helena looked different than he remembered. After a while, Arslan started to doubt Helena's identity. In the end, though, he had to accept that the woman i

"Thank you for visiting." Helena was just going to show Arslan out to the door of her meeting room. Not long after Michael got there, Arslan said he had to leave. He said he had some urgent business to take care of.However, Helena thought it was just an excuse Arslan could use. Since then, her ex-husband had been keeping a close eye on Michael. It seemed like the man with the glasses was trying to intimidate people.As it turned out, Helena said that Arslan had ended up playing the role of the ultimate bully when Helena had a lot to do that day."I hope you can change your mind about my invitation.""Spend lunch or dinner with you?" Helena asked with a smile. "I don't want to be ambushed by someone who suddenly shows up. And then make a story with a really horrible headline."Arslan couldn't help but laugh along at the remark, which was accompanied by a dismissive laugh. "You really want a private atmosphere? Just let me know when you have a moment, and I'll make the arrangements. "N

The school hall was filled with the noise of the students who were busy preparing for Olin's farewell event. That day, Olin stood in the center of the hall in his neat school uniform. Although he tried to smile, the heaviness of leaving this place was clear on his face.“Lin, are you sure you want to go?” Jihan stood beside him, her eyes glazed over. “You know we're all not willing to let you go.”Olin took a deep breath, then looked at his best friend. “Jihan, I have to go. I can't stay here.”“Why not? We can face this together. You don't have to run away from everything.”Olin smiled, but didn't answer. He knew this decision was the best for him and for his family.One by one, his friends came up to Olin, saying goodbye. Adel, Maria, and Rihanna had been crying since the beginning of the show.“We'll miss your chatty voice in class,” Adel said as she wiped away her tears.

“Dad, I need to talk,” Olin's voice was soft but full of anxiety. She stood in the doorway of her father's study. Michael, who was busy reading a document, looked at his daughter. There was something in her tone of voice that made Michael immediately close the document and wave a hand, inviting her in.“Sure, honey. What's wrong? Sit here,” he said, pointing to the chair in front of him.Olin stepped in slowly, sitting with her back straight but her face downcast. She clutched the hem of her sweater tightly, a clear sign that she was agitated.“Pa... I'm confused. I don't know where to start,” she said finally, her voice trembling.Michael smiled a little, trying to offer some comfort. “Try starting with what's bothering you, Lin. Papa is here to listen.”Olin lifted his head, looking up at his father with teary eyes. “It's about Andy, Pa. And about what Mama said yesterday at the festival.&rdqu

“Olin, what's wrong? You're not usually like this,” Jihan opened the conversation in a quiet but worried voice. They were sitting on a bench in the school garden during recess. Olin just sighed, his eyes fixed on the grass in front of him.“I'm fine, Ji,” Olin replied briefly, without turning his head.Adel, who was sitting beside him, rolled her eyes. “It's okay? Seriously, Lin? If you're okay, why do you look like you've lost something? Even your voice isn't as loud as usual.”“Yeah, Lin,” Maria added as she leaned forward, trying to find Olin's gaze. “You didn't even respond when we teased Rihana earlier. You're usually the most excited when there's something to joke about.”Rihana nodded in agreement, though she was a little disturbed by the discussion. “That's right, Lin. You didn't even laugh when I almost fell earlier. Are you sick? Or... something wrong at home?”Olin s

All the way home, Helena chose to remain silent. The atmosphere in the car was eerily quiet, filled only by the sound of tires rustling across the road. Occasionally, Olin glanced at her mother, hoping for an explanation, but Helena kept her eyes straight ahead, focused on the road stretching out in front of her.Helena was being deliberate. She knew that if this conversation took place in the car, she would not be able to convey everything calmly. The mixed feelings she had been bottling up for so long were now coming back to the surface, hitting her hard ever since that encounter at the festival.“What are you really thinking, Helena?” she muttered to herself. Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, while her mind went back to the past that she wanted to forget.Helena knew the look Andy had given Olin earlier. It wasn't just a friend's look. There was something there-a feeling she recognized all too well. It made her chest tight, not because

“Olin, are you ready?” Jihan's voice broke the silence in the preparation room. She looked up at her best friend sitting at the piano, seemingly practicing the last notes.Olin let out a long breath, trying to compose himself. “Not sure, Jihan. I don't know why our homeroom teacher chose me to perform. There are many others who are better.”Jihan chuckled and sat next to him. “Olin, you're really good. They chose you because you're the best. Besides, you're not alone. We're all here to support you.”“But my family will come,” Olin rolled his eyes. “I told them that Mama was enough. If they all came, I'd be even more nervous.”“Your family is fun,” Jihan patted his shoulder. “Think of them as hard-core fans.”Meanwhile, on the main stage, Andy stood in the center of the crowd, monitoring the festival. His face serious, he occasionally spoke into a walkie-talkie to ma

“Who are you looking at, Lin?” Jihan's voice suddenly broke the silence in the cafeteria, making Olin startle and almost choke on the orange juice he had just gulped down.“Huh? Who?” Olin hurriedly turned to Jihan with a panicked face, trying to hide his nervousness.Jihan narrowed her eyes, giving Olin a probing look. “Don't pretend, I saw you just now looking at Andy from a distance. What's wrong, huh?”Olin let out a long breath, then shook his head quickly. “Nothing, Jihan. You saw it wrong.”However, Adel, who was sitting next to Jihan, immediately chimed in. “Oh? Andy? Isn't he that cold guy who rarely talks? How can you be interested, Lin?”“I'm not interested! Gosh, what's wrong with you guys?” Olin tried to deny it, even though his face was starting to turn red. He knew Jihan wouldn't let go of this topic easily.Vina, who was usually more reserved, suddenly ch

“Helena, you look a little tense,” Michael said in a soft tone as they sat in the living room after dinner. He looked at his wife, who sat staring blankly out the window, her eyes seemingly glazed over.Helena took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. “I'm fine, Michael. It's just... earlier, when I met Jacob's family, I felt that there was something evocative of the past. Especially with that young man present... I feel anxious.”Michael looked at his wife with concern. “Are you feeling anxious because of him? Or is it something else?”Helena shook her head slowly. “Not because of him, Michael. It's more about the complicated past... which is long forgotten, but not completely gone. I know I've forgiven everyone, including Tiara and Arslan. But seeing their son, seeing him next to Luna... it's like I'm reminded of everything that happened.”Michael sighed and sat closer, taking Helena's hand gently. &l

“Ah, Olin, you finally came too!” Vera greeted Olin with a warm hug, her eyes shining with excitement. “Grandma's been waiting a long time.”Olin smiled and returned the hug. “Yes, Grandma, I'm sorry I couldn't make it. I had a little business earlier.”Helena, his mother, greeted Vera with a warm smile. “Thank you for inviting us, Vera. We're glad we could make it.”Meanwhile, Michael, Olin's father, who was rather quiet, just smiled and greeted Tomy who was busy in the kitchen. “Grandpa, how are you?” he said as he sat down at the dining table.“Ah, Michael! I'm fine, my son. Come, sit, sit. Lunch is ready,” Tomy said with a big smile, his eyes radiating warmth.Olin nodded, followed him into the dining room, and sat next to Vera. Vera immediately grasped his hand with great concern. “Come on, sit down first, son. I want to hear how you're doing.”Olin smil

Andy sat on the living room sofa, scrolling through his phone without really paying attention to the screen. His lips formed a small smile, recalling the moment when Olin bravely chased after his cell phone thief. The girl was completely different from his first image-there was no fear, only genuine courage.However, her smile did not go unnoticed by Luna Jacob, her grandmother who was knitting in a rocking chair not far from her. The old woman knew her grandson all too well. Andy, who was usually serious and quiet, was often seen smiling to himself these days.“What's wrong, Andy?” Luna's soft voice broke the silence.Andy looked up, a little surprised. “What, Grandma?”Luna stopped knitting, looking up at her grandson with concerned eyes. “You seem different lately. Is there something you want to tell me?”Andy smiled slightly, trying to distract her grandmother. “Nothing, Grandma. Probably just a lot on
