Mason's gaze was gentle, his voice slightly husky. He said, "The dress looks really good on you."This was probably the most tender moment in their three years of marriage. Zoe felt a bit sentimental, but in the end, she just smiled faintly and replied, "Thank you."The two of them went upstairs together. The old facilities made Mason frown, but fortunately, the broken light in the hallway had been fixed.Behind them, a silver car was parked in the night.Ava sat in the car, silently watching them disappear. She was wearing an elegant and eye-catching white dress that should have been for the banquet.She had followed them from the Abbott residence.Watching Mason lead Zoe out, she had never seen such a gentle expression on Mason's face. She had also never seen him so possessive, his hand almost always gripping Zoe's waist.She always thought that Mason did not care about Zoe.She also thought that Zoe had been tortured in this loveless marriage for three years, but at the banq

Mason thought about it, and then he acted on it.He stepped into the cramped kitchen, wrapping his arms around her from behind. His chin rested on Zoe's slender shoulder blades, tilting slightly as he tenderly kissed the soft flesh behind her ear.The sudden intimacy caught her off guard, and Zoe's legs almost gave way. She lowered her gaze, looking at the unwashed dishes in her hands, and said, "Mason, you said you just wanted a meal. What's going on?"Mason tightened his grip, whispering near her ear, "Zoe, come back with me."Zoe's body stiffened. It was the first time Mason did not command her to come back with him. Instead, it sounded more like a request, and this subtle change added a hint of bittersweetness to the atmosphere.She bowed her head in silence.Mason kissed her hair and raised his eyes slightly. "Okay?"A sudden ring interrupted the moment.Mason frowned slightly, not wanting to answer, but Zoe had already snapped out of it."Answer your phone."Mason glanc

Lilith's parents turned out to be former employees of the Sanders family.At that moment, a waiter brought a large plate of fish, but Mia had no appetite.She remained indignant. "There's definitely something fishy about the Wright family."Zoe also felt uneasy. She gently pressed Mia's hand, offering comforting words.She understood Mia. Mia came from a well-off family, and at 26, she had chosen to marry the 40-year-old Gordon, who already had a son and a daughter. This decision severed ties with her own family.Mia was proud. She swore to live well, to prove that her choice was right. Now, she felt trampled underfoot by former servants. She could not swallow this humiliation.Zoe comforted her.She also mentioned the money. "With this money, things will be much easier. Mom, our lives will only get better from here."Mia chuckled after being cheered up, but she could not hold back her tears as she laughed. "Zoe, I'm not doing this for myself. I just can't stand it for your s

Zoe only had a few goals in life, which was to cure her dad's illness, rescue her brother, and start a new life as a happy family. But evidently, fate had different plans for her.Mason was not planning to let her go, either.That night, while performing at the Imperial Hotel, she received a call from Ella. Ella's voice was urgent. "Zoe, come to the hospital quickly! Something's wrong!"Zoe's heart skipped a beat.She hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"Ella paused before whispering, "A conflict broke out between Mia and Lilith. It's quite a scene, and the police are involved. Zoe, be mentally prepared... Mia might be taken away."The phone slipped from Zoe's hand.In the end, it was Leslie who drove Zoe to the hospital. Luckily, it was not far, and they arrived at the scene in less than half an hour.However, Zoe was still a step too late.When she arrived, Mia had already been taken away.The scene was chaotic, with the entire Wright family present. Carly cradled Lilith's b

Lilith was feeling triumphant, but her mood quickly soured. "Dad!"Mason responded casually, "Alright." With a careless gesture, he let go of Lilith's hand. Whether it was her father's failure to catch her properly or not, Lilith unexpectedly fell straight to the ground. The leg that had undergone surgery made a snapping sound as it broke again, and the friction burned the skin on her arm with the ground. It tore open, leaving a large, bloody mess.Lilith winced in pain, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Her father scooped her up into his arms in a panic.Mason lowered his gaze, his tone cold. "I have some matters to attend to at the company. I'll be leaving." The elevator doors opened, and he exited without a second glance.Ava hurriedly followed.From behind, Lilith pouted, "Mr. Mason… Mr. Mason!"Eric, holding her in his arms, sighed softly. "Sweetheart, have we gone too far? Setting up Mrs. Zoe and having your mother confront the young lady... What if Mr. Mason

He was relentless in tormenting her.Despite being brought to tears and screams, Ella was known for her fiery spirit. She even managed to scratch Leslie's arm.Uninhibited, she shouted, "Fine! Let's call it quits then. I'll find myself another man. I refuse to believe that someone like me can't find a man to sleep with. What makes you so special?"'This damned guy! What makes him better than other men?'The more aggressively she yelled, the more intense Leslie became. "How dare you say that?! I'll kill you!"The entire night, Ella's voice echoed in the room. The mansion's servants dared not eavesdrop. Every time Leslie brought Ella back, it sounded like a murder was taking place.…Leslie finally had enough. He got up and headed to the bathroom for a shower. When he came out, Ella was still there.She had donned one of his shirts, leaving a couple of buttons undone, and leaned against the bed, smoking. She exuded an alluring demeanor.Leslie chuckled. "You just cried your

Zoe kept Mia's situation a secret. Gordon assumed that Mia had some business and would be away for a couple of days, with a nurse taking care of things. Seeing Zoe sitting there, lost in thought, he couldn't help but say, "You should go home. There's a nurse here."Zoe shook her head. She didn't want to go anywhere right now. She just wanted to stay here.As night fell, Gordon finally succumbed to sleep. Zoe sat alone on a simple chair, silently lost in her thoughts. A faint red mark on her cheek served as a reminder of the beating she endured from Carly.Outside the hospital room, separated by a transparent glass pane, Mason stood silently. He observed the injuries on Zoe's profile, her absent-minded expression, and the emptiness in her eyes. Memories of the day she came out of Rosemary's house, fatigued but radiant when speaking, flashed through his mind."Actually, I've always been like this. It's just that you never noticed.""Mason, that 300 thousand doesn't include sleepin

Zoe pursed her lips. "I want to talk about Mia's situation."Mason's voice became even colder. "Is that so? Let's discuss it in my office." After saying that, he hung up the phone without leaving any room for further discussion.On the chilly streets of late autumn, Zoe felt a shiver run through her entire body. This was the true Mason. In the past, his occasional tenderness was just a means to coax her back home. Once he found it ineffective, he revealed his true self. Indifferent and heartless.Putting down her phone, Zoe didn't hesitate and took a bus.After a couple of transfers, she arrived at the Lockwood Corporation building. The employees of Lockwood Corporation recognized her as Mrs. Lockwood, but they also knew how unworthy she was of the title.Ava came down to meet her. Climbing to the top floor, Ava opened the door to the CEO's office with an attitude that lacked warmth. "Mr. Mason is out at the moment, Mrs. Zoe. Please wait. I'll make you a cup of coffee."

However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone. Besides Ella, there was another small girl with her, probably one of the twins she had with Keaton. The other twin was her brother.The twins were named Shay Bright and Drew Bright.

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight bathed the earth, signaling a joyous occasion at the Sanders family home. The youngest daughter of Noah and Gwynn was finally getting married. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyone’s surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. “Don't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?”Mason didn’t engage with his criticism.

That night, Jamie and Paityn returned home with their daughter Carol. As soon as they arrived, Carol went to do her homework, while Paityn went to check on their youngest son, Colten Lockwood. The housekeeper was taking care of him and, upon hearing footsteps, turned her head and softly said, "Madam, you're back? He hasn't woken up at all, he's such a good boy."Paityn smiled lightly and signaled for the housekeeper to go downstairs and rest.When the door closed, she looked down at the sleeping Colten. The little one, only eight months old, resembled his father completely; almost like a miniature copy of Jamie. Even Carol, at times, would look at her brother’s face and marvel: "It’s really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husband’s looks are the wife’s glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, “She must have seen a supermodel runway show."Jamie immediately asked, "Did she like it?"Paityn didn't answer, just smiled.

On the second floor, Gwen was trying on her wedding dress for tomorrow. Just as Zion had wished, it was a traditional Zutriysteinian wedding.The red wedding gown was crafted by the top artisans from Zutriystein, elegant and dignified. The headpiece she wore was adorned with wild pearls; each gem was carefully embedded, and the headpiece alone cost tens of millions. A substantial amount of money had been spent.The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. Gwen gently touched her headpiece and muttered to herself, "Zion really doesn’t mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesn’t know when to keep quiet, but luckily, she’s married well and is right here beside me..."She had given a generous wedding gift, exactly the same as when Holly got married. Like Holly, Gwen didn’t want any shares of the Sanders Group. The money that Zion earned was enough to support both of them and his small hobbies.Meanwhile

Ignacio said, "We can’t take care of both of you."Holly was at a loss for words.Lucius was at that lively age, but he was raised by his father and had good manners. When he saw Ocelotte, he respectfully greeted him, saying, "Second Uncle."Ocelotte patted his little head, thinking that the boy seemed sturdier than his own children, possibly because Molly was too fragile. He made a mental note to make sure Yeager got some extra nutrients when he went back.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the highway, getting them back to the Qiao family mansion before evening.The Sanders family’s sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didn’t refuse, planning to stay for a few days before heading to Silvercrest to visit her biological parents and pay respects.The car pulled into the Sanders Residence, and the house was lit up brightly.In the courtyard parking area, luxury cars were parked everywhe

In the evening, Gwen was preparing to leave work.In the parking lot, she spotted Zion’s car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, “Zion came to school. There’s a donation ceremony happening in the auditorium. You should go check it out. "Then, you two can head home together afterward. On a cold day like this, a nice dinner would be perfect. What a cozy idea!”Gwen playfully replied, “You really know how to enjoy life.”The leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, “See? Your teacher’s wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.”Gwen smiled softly, watching him leave.In the sky, clouds glowed orange and yellow, their edges tinged with gold.She carried a thermos as she walked toward the auditorium. Along the way, a few students noticed her and started chirping excitedly, cheekily calling her “Ms. Gwen.”Gwen corrected them, “It’s Ms. Gwen.”The students laughed and teased, “Ms. Gwen! Mr. Z

Gwen stared dazedly at the man.Zion, dressed in a black coat, stood tall in the study, exuding an oppressive aura. He walked toward her and pulled the teary-eyed girl, her face streaked like a little tabby cat, into his arms. One hand gently smoothed her hair as his voice softened to the extreme, "Still saying you didn’t cry."Gwen leaned against his shoulder, mumbling, "You did it on purpose.""Are you at least a little touched?"She pounded on him twice more in response.Zion chuckled lowly, letting the girl vent while his heart ached silently.These past five years had been filled with fear and uncertainty for him. He had been afraid that before he could make a name for himself, Gwen would fall for someone else. If that happened, what could he possibly use to ask her to come back to him?The love story of a poor boy and a rich girl might've existed in novels, but the reality was often harsh.Gwen didn’t care, but he couldn’t bear to let her endure hardship.Now, as they

Zion and Gwen's marriage seemed inevitable, with no one putting up any resistance. Occasionally, Gwen even had a strange illusion.It all went so smoothly that the years of separation seemed like they had never happened, as if she and Zion had always been together. After their reunion, he didn’t even ask her about her life abroad and treated her just as he did before.She was no longer as youthful and tender, but Zion still saw her as if she were a 20-year-old girl. Gwen felt a bit dejected, thinking to herself, he must just like girls around 18-year-old.But unfortunately, the spring river flows eastward and cannot return!Zion only smiled.In winter, the days grew shorter. After work, Gwen arrived at Zion's villa, but he had not yet come home. The two housekeepers had already started preparing dinner.When Gwen got out of the car, she received a call from Zion. Her voice was soft and tender.“When will you be back?”On the other end, Zion checked the time and said, “I’ll be

Zion noticed Gwen gazing at him with those wide, expectant eyes again. With a chuckle, he reached into the pocket of his trench coat, pulled out a sleek wallet, and carefully extracted a platinum card. He placed it in her outstretched hand and said with a smile, “This is my secondary card. There’s no credit limit.” Gwen gasped softly, then teased, “Wow, aren’t you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.” Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, “Thank you, my sugar daddy.” Zion’s response was to pull her close, cupping her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely. Though he once carried himself as an educator and now as a refined businessman, he found himself utterly smitten by her playful antics. After the kiss, Zion leaned close to Gwen's ear and murmured something uncharacteristically crude that sent a shiver down her spine. He playfully nipped her nose. “Turns out you’ve got a thing for bad boy
