Paityn seemed distracted several times while she was discussing business with Gael in the private room. She was clearly influenced by Jamie.

Gael coughed lightly, “What’s wrong? Still can’t forget about Jamie?”

Before Paityn could deny it, Gael smiled again, “You had a thing with him. So, it's not surprising that you think about him. Although he has a bit of a bad temper, he is indeed quite handsome.

"Also, any lady who marries into the Lockwood family would be dreaming with joy. From what I see, though, the lady he’s with today doesn’t stand a chance. Jamie seems to have a particular taste.”

Gael is Jamie's former brother-in-law. Although their relationship wasn't great before, they were family at one point. So, he had a basic understanding of him. His conclusion was simply reliable.

After Gael’s remarks, Paityn couldn’t help but laugh, “I didn’t expect you to know him so well. Did Yanni talk about him a lot in the past?”

Mentioning his ex-wife, Yanni, made Gael feel a wave of

    Jamie asked casually, “Did they leave together?” The manager nodded. Then, he noticed Jamie’s expression darken, and he thought he must have misspoken. He wanted to say something to remedy the situation, but Jamie had already opened the door and climbed into his black Cullinan. The early spring weather was chilly. Sitting in the car felt like being in an icehouse, but Jamie didn’t start the engine. Instead, he sat in the frigid vehicle. His expression was indifferent as he pulled out a cigarette. He lit it and began to smoke slowly.Pale blue smoke rose as Jamie raised his hand to crack the window slightly. In the chill of the wind and the haze of smoke, he thought about his past with Paityn, including the good, the bad, the sweet, and the angry. Jamie seemed to recall that Paityn was the only woman in his life. From a physical to an emotional level, it felt like she was the only one he had ever connected with. However, she seemed unappreciative. After all, she had so many pros

    The door to the ward opened gently, and the maid looked somewhat panicked. She said, “Ms. Paityn. There’s a lady who claims to be your sister and wants to see you.”Paityn looked up sharply. Was Tegan here?Sure enough, a travel-worn Tegan stood at the door. The moment she saw Paityn, her first question was, “Who is Carol's father?”Paityn hesitated. She wanted to keep it a secret. With that said, she might be able to hide it from others, but she couldn’t conceal it from her own sister. Tegan slowly walked in, making her way to the small hospital bed. She looked down at the sleeping Carol. The little girl’s oval face was pale and reminiscent of Paityn’s own features as a child. It looked like she was already about five years old.Tegan trembled as she touched Carol's face, connecting with the child who shared her bloodline. After a long moment, she quietly asked, “Did you have her while you were in college?”As the elder sister, Paityn was usually an undeniable authority in fron

    A week later, Carol was brought back to Brookesville.Initially, Tegan had intended to take Carol in. After some contemplation, however, Paityn decided to keep her daughter by her side. She told Tegan, “I can’t let Carol always be a burden to others.”Carol gently leaned into her mother's embrace on the private plane. Tegan reached over and stroked the little girl's head.…As the private jet landed, Paityn took Carol to her new home.When Carol stepped out of the car, she was wearing a pale yellow down jacket. Her little face bundled up snugly. She looked at the beautiful courtyard of the villa. Although it was winter, the lawn was still lush and green, and they were perfectly trimmed.Carol was overjoyed. She looked up and asked, “Will I be living here from now on, Mommy?”Paityn replied with a slight sobbing in her voice, “Yes. You'll be living here with Mommy from now on.”The accompanying nanny carried a small suitcase and gazed at the impressive villa. She couldn't help b

    There was an eerie silence on both ends of the line. They had been together for quite some time, and yet Jamie had never uttered the words “I love you,” and neither had Paityn. Their relationship was always marked by sharp conflicts, each taking turns to humiliate the other. After such a long time apart, Paityn finally broached the subject of their feelings.However, what had Paityn said when they separated? She had declared that aside from their physical relationship, she never felt any romantic love for him. She had put it so harshly that it left no room for reconciliation.After what felt like an eternity, Jamie’s voice came through. It sounded cold and unyielding as if each word was forced out of frozen lips. “Still love you? Don't you think you're overthinking, Paityn? I would never tie myself to one lady. Also, let’s not forget what you said back then.“Now you’re playing another trick, aren’t you? You’ve found something to gain from me, and you’ll kick me aside once you’r

    Paityn also extended her hand. She forced a polite smile. “Hello.” Paityn and Yara shook hands briefly before the latter turned to Jamie. Her excitement was palpable. “Let’s head in. Yanni just asked about us!” Jamie clearly doted on Yara. He nodded and briefly acknowledged Paityn before taking Yara by the hand and walking away. As the door closed behind them, Paityn found herself alone, with the large glass windows reflecting her solitary figure. She reached up to touch her face, easily recognizing how pale and strained she looked. A wave of self-mockery washed over Paityn. The fact was that it was her choice to end things. However, she was the one on the brink of tears now. For whom was she putting on this facade? After taking five minutes to compose herself, Paityn stepped back into the banquet hall, transforming once again into her flawless self until she was suddenly intercepted by Tegan. “Paityn!” Tegan called out. Her expression was serious when she blocked Pait

    As the guests took their seats, Jamie finally returned to the banquet hall.Keaton and Yanni had invited 100 tables of guests for their wedding. This was the largest and most luxurious hall in Brookesville, and it was packed to the brim. Jamie was a relative of the bride. Naturally, he was seated at the main table. Yara saw him coming over and softly called out, "Over here, Jamie."He took a few steps in that direction. Before he sat down, however, he spotted Paityn at the adjacent table. She was sitting with Tegan, and they were two seats away from Lorian. The corners of Paityn's eyes were faintly red. Upon closer inspection, it was clear she had been crying. Looking at her tonight, she wasn’t wearing an evening gown, Instead, she wore a sleek and semi-sheer ensemble. She looked formal yet undeniably sexy.Paityn's figure had always been good, and no one knew this better than Jamie. He couldn't help but think back to those years, to that uncontrollable night. They were young, a

    After the two of them set down their glasses, Yara became even more bashful, and she leaned entirely against Jamie. They looked sweet and affectionate together.Underneath the dazzling crystal chandelier, Jamie’s handsome face held a hint of restraint, which was quite alluring to women. However, his gaze was dark and focused intently on Paityn.…Paityn’s face turned pale. Such a scene was too cruel for her. She had to muster all her strength to control her emotions, ensuring she didn’t lose her composure in such a setting. Jamie’s gaze remained fixed on Paityn as if the entire world had been reduced to just the two of them. Even the most oblivious guests could sense the tension at this moment, especially Yara, who anxiously tugged at Jamie's sleeve and asked, “What’s wrong, Jamie?”Jamie's expression was indifferent as he raised his glass to toast the table with a light drink before moving to another table.Tegan tightly grasped Paityn's wrist, giving her strength.Lorian was

    In the hotel parking lot, Paityn opened the car door and was about to get in when a familiar deep voice came from behind her: “Are you heading back?”Paityn stiffened. It was Jamie. She slowly turned around and saw Jamie's face illuminated under the cold lights. He stood about three or four steps away, and his dark eyes were denser than the night itself as if he intended to devour her whole with his gaze.The atmosphere was quite delicate. After a moment, Paityn managed to force a faint smile, saying, “Yes, I’m about to leave! Does Mr. Jamie have any instructions for me?” Jamie showed no expression, but his eyes burned intensely as he asked, “Do you have nothing to say to me?”Paityn fell silent and said nothing.Jamie reached into the pocket of his coat and pulled out a sealed pack of cigarettes. He tore off the wrapping but didn’t open the box, merely holding it in his hand. His gaze remained fixed on Paityn as he said, “For example, what you asked me over the phone last ti

    When Molly came out of the bathroom, she was wearing the hotel's bathrobe. It was loosely draped over her slender figure, accentuating her delicate frame. The bedroom was brightly lit. Ocelotte had just washed in the bathroom next door. He was leaning casually against the large bedhead and flipping through a hotel magazine. He was only wearing black pants, and his long, fit body was on full display. Molly didn’t dare look at the water droplets on Ocelotte's body. She carefully held onto the edge of the bed and knelt beside him. With a memory of how he had looked before, she leaned in to kiss him. A large hand grabbed the back of her head, urgently pulling her toward him. Then, all the fiery memories came flooding back. Molly had sex with Ocelotte.…Ocelotte’s continued entanglements had stretched over several rounds. By the time they were done, it was nearly 2:00 am.Molly lay there, nearly lifeless, while the man remained full of energy. He rolled off the bed, heading to t

    The parking lot was cold, making Molly shiver. Ocelotte opened the door of gray Cullinan, gesturing for Molly to get in. She hesitated, afraid that the wine stains on her clothes would dirty his car. However, it was clear that he didn’t mind. Ocelotte's eyes showed a hint of displeasure as he commanded, “Get in.”Only then did Molly cautiously get in, trying her best not to dirty his car. After a moment, Ocelotte followed and got into the car. Inside, the only sound was the faint click of seat belts, and that small noise made Molly feel like a startled bird. She turned her head slightly and whispered, “Where are we going?”Ocelotte buckled his seatbelt, his dark eyes deep and unreadable. After a long silence, he replied with a touch of mockery, “To the hotel. "What’s this? After a few years in the entertainment industry, you’ve learned how to play hard to get with men and pretend to be innocent?”“I haven’t,” Molly quickly responded. Her voice was husky and tinged with hes

    The private room immediately fell silent. At first, someone muttered something like "crazy" under their breath. When they saw it was Ocelotte, however, no one dared to say another word. Ocelotte slowly stood up. He stepped over the red wine stains and walked straight to Molly’s side. He looked down at her from a height, taking in her disheveled state. He looked at the red wine stains on her long lashes. Her lips were bitten and broken, and a bloodstained mark on her pale neck. Molly tilted her head back, and her body trembled slightly. Their gazes intertwined. Ocelotte’s voice was low and hoarse as he stared into her eyes and asked, “Is this the life you’re chasing? Are you happy? Is it a good feeling, being humiliated for a little bit of money?”The people in the room were quick-witted, and with just a glance, they knew exactly what to do. The female stars and models immediately opened the bottles of red wine. Then, they poured the wines over themselves, dousing thei

    In the private room, about ten people were there, including Ocelotte. The atmosphere was lively. Except for Scarlett, no one knew that Ocelotte and Molly were old acquaintances. So, when the second-generation rich were acting up, they didn’t spare Molly. Since she was the most attractive one in the room, they particularly forced alcohol on her. Three glasses of red wine were neatly placed on the coffee table. A man named Mayson Hogan took a check for 10 million dollars from his pocket and pointed at the three glasses of wine.Mayson said to Molly, “Don’t you want to pull in some investments? Drink these three glasses, take this check, and consider it my investment.” If Molly drank those three glasses, she’d either be dead drunk or fall over. Scarlett immediately forced a smile, saying, “Molly still has to play cards with you. Let me drink this wine. How about I pour three more glasses, Mr. Mayson?” After saying that, Scarlett poured two more glasses. Before she could dr

    An hour later, the gray Cullinan slowly drove into the Sanders Manor. Ocelotte opened the car door, his tall frame of six-foot-two passing through the foyer and into the living room. Although it was already the middle of the night, the Sanders Manor was still brightly lit. Noah was waiting for his youngest son to return late. Hearing the noise, Noah put down the chess pieces in his hands. He looked up and smiled at Ocelotte, who looked heartbroken. "Out prowling in the middle of the night? Did you catch anything?" Ocelotte took off his coat and casually tossed it onto the sofa. Then, he instructed the housekeeper, "Make me some sandwiches, Kendra." Kendra had always been fond of him. She quickly untied her apron and went to the kitchen. A little while later, she brought over some sandwiches.As Ocelotte ate the sandwiches in large bites, Noah silently walked over. The latter watched his son and silently urging him to hurry up.Ocelotte put down the sandwich and said indif

    The night was as dark as ink. The gray Cullinan blended into the night, slowly fading away in front of Molly, the red tail lights glimmering like fleeting fireworks. Ocelotte was here one moment and gone the next.“I miss you, Ocelotte.” Molly stood in the darkness, murmuring softly. The wound on her knee split open, blood dripping onto the gray concrete floor, forming a stark and heartbreaking contrast. Her small, almond-shaped face looked pale, almost ghostly in the black night. Suddenly, the car ahead came to a stop. With tears at the corners of her eyes, Molly's lips trembled uncontrollably. Yet, she managed to force out a fragile smile. Ocelotte! Ocelotte! Molly ran toward him quickly, forgetting the bleeding knee and the boundaries Ocelotte had set for her. She was to never appear before him again.Molly only wanted to go to him and see him once more, just to get a chance. The expensive car and the distinguished man still made her hesitate just one meter awa

    Behind the car, Molly saw him. She stood there dazed, staring blankly as the gray Cullinan slowly drove away. Her face was drenched in rain and confusion. She knew all too well the vast gulf between them. One was the second son of the Sanders Group, the president of Fowlerlotte Tech Co. with a status worth billions. Meanwhile, Molly was just a small-time actress. They were as far apart as clouds and mud. Not to mention, she carried a past full of stains that couldn’t be washed away, no matter how hard she tried. Molly was lost in her thoughts, and the director’s angry roar jolted her back. “Do you not want to finish filming? Dragging your feet like this! If you acted better, we wouldn’t have to keep redoing the scene!” Scarlett quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, although she knew exactly what was going on. The director wanted to have sex with Molly, but she refused, so now he was deliberately making things difficult for her. Sometimes, Scarlett couldn’t he

    Although Ocelotte didn’t engage in those matters himself, as a member of the Sanders family, he was well aware of the ways of the business world. If it had been someone else, he might have been indifferent, understanding it as just a means to make a living. However, it was because it was Molly that he only found her shameless. Ocelotte looked at Molly and deliberately asked with a mocking tone, "Oh? Is there another act?"Molly's body trembled slightly.The senior manager finally picked up on the situation. She glanced at Molly, then at Ocelotte. The young tech mogul's eyes were filled with disdain and mockery, leaving the scene unbearably awkward.Still, Scarlett, who had witnessed her share of tense moments, quickly shifted the topic.However, Ocelotte showed no intention of being considerate. He opened his laptop with a loud snap and ruthlessly dismissed her. "Ms. Molly does not align with our company's image. Please show her out, Sarah."…Ocelotte's assistant, Sarah Moss
