"Boss, you're like a prophet," a waiter commented, seemingly unaware of the tension in the air. "The forecast missed this downpour. We wouldn't have seen many patrons in such weather anyway."Sean's frown deepened at the waiter's attempt at small talk, prompting the latter to scurry away. Such heavy rain was indeed rare in Imperium, especially at this time of year.'That woman didn't have an umbrella. With the rain pouring so heavily, she'll be drenched,' he begrudgingly thought, imagining her as a bedraggled mess in the downpour.As his mind conjured a vivid image, Sean's brow furrowed in irritation. 'Considering her petite frame, if she gets soaked, she might catch a cold or even faint in the street. What if some careless driver doesn't see her and runs her over?'Or worse, someone deliberately runs over her a second time and turns her into roadside meat mush that will wash down the drain, becoming a feast for sewer creatures?' he mused.The more detailed the scenario in his hea

As Sean turned away, attempting to regain his composure, he caught sight of something alarming: the petite figure in the rain suddenly collapsed, falling toward the ground.Reacting instinctively, Sean dashed back and caught Jeanna just as she was about to hit the pavement.Jeanna's eyes were red, her vision already blurry. Instinctively, she weakly lifted the umbrella she had been holding and glared at him."I hate you all! I hate you so much!" she cried out, unaware of who had come to her aid.Sean's hair were drenched and disheveled."Well, aren't you grateful? I'm here to help, you know," he replied wryly.He picked up the fallen umbrella, using it to mask his frustration. When he looked back at Jeanna, she had already lost consciousness."Hey! Wake up, you mad woman!" he snapped, taking the opportunity to give her a couple of slaps to release his anger.Afterward, he grabbed the umbrella and awkwardly carried her in his arms."Why am I so kind-hearted? First, she bit me,

Sean was rendered speechless. His expression darkened at the notion of being addressed as "Mom" by her in her delirious state. It was a thought he found intolerable."I must take you to the hospital. Your fever could escalate dangerously," he insisted, concern evident in his voice."Please, don't," she whispered weakly, her fingers desperately clinging to his sleeve.Sean was unnerved by her frailty, and his determination began to waver.Leaving the suite, he trudged through the rain to a nearby pharmacy, annoyance growing as he realized his clothes were soaked. Never in his almost 30 years had he felt so pitiful for a woman.'When she gets better, we'll see how I'll deal with her!' he thought, a hint of frustration in his mind.-When Sean returned to the room, his frustration turned to panic as he realized she was nowhere to be found.'How could she disappear in such a short time?'The sound of rushing water emanating from the bathroom caught his attention. Pushing the door

When the thought crossed Sean's mind, panic surged within him. He seized the phone from the waiter's hand and swiftly dialed a series of numbers.Once the call connected, he exclaimed, "Hey, Cedric, something serious just went down!"Cedric was engaged in a game with Tristan and abruptly stopped upon hearing Sean's unusual tone. The smile on his face vanished instantly. "What's wrong?""It's Jeanna Archer. She attempted suicide by slashing her wrists in my room!" Sean explained urgently.'Jeanna! Sophie's closest friend!' Cedric shot up from his seat, startling Tristan.As for Tristan, his complexion turned ashen, and he looked up at his father uneasily. "Daddy, what's happening?""Tristan, be a good boy. Daddy needs to handle something. Go find Mommy. She'll keep you company." Cedric ruffled Tristan's hair, grabbed his jacket from the back of the chair, and dashed out of the villa with his phone in hand."Cedric, Tristan, come have some fruit." Vivienne emerged from the kitchen

When their marriage was brought up, Cedric frowned. His heart flooded with mixed emotions. Sophie had been discharged from the hospital for a week, and he remained unaware of her current state."I never expected her to have such a pitiful life," Sean said, sitting on a bench in the corridor.He propped his palms against his temple, covering most of his face with slender fingers. The woman, who had been acting like a little monster, actually had a past that not many ordinary people could handle.As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the operating theater was pushed open. He immediately stood up, rushed up to the doctor, and grabbed his arm. "Doctor, how is she?""Mr. Archer's wound has been sutured and bandaged, and she has regained consciousness. However, when individuals who have undergone severe psychological traumas experience intense emotional fluctuations or are in a very weak physical condition, it makes them more susceptible to suicidal thoughts."You need to pay ext

On that day, Jeanna had been ecstatic to introduce Nigel Lennox to Benjamin and Jessica. However, they never anticipated the events that unfolded on the street. What was worse was that in her most painful and helpless moment, Nigel seemed to change into a different person and abruptly ended their relationship.Sophie had stayed with Jeanna at her place, where she had cried for three days and nights. She had witnessed Jeanna cut her own wrists, and blood had flowed like a stream, almost costing her life.Sophie had been under the impression that such a terrifying event would not happen again after five years, but unexpectedly, it did."I'm sorry. I won't do it again," Jeanna promised, her hand wrapped around Sophie. Tears were on the verge of bursting from her eyes, but she forced them back.She didn't want to die—she didn't want to be as weak as her mother. She wanted to live and prove to everyone that she could live a better life."Alright. But if you dare to pull such a stunt ag

Despite the door muffling the sound, Sophie could still discern the familiar voice speaking calmly. "It's just a small matter, and it's been taken care of."Sophie couldn't help but think, 'A small matter?! That's right, to him, only Vivienne and the child are important. Everything else and the rest are trivial matters.'-Back in the villa, Vivienne hung up the phone, glanced at the plaster cast on her left hand hanging from her chest, and grinned. 'No one can take away what I want from me.'Tristan looked up with hopeful eyes. "Mommy, is Daddy coming back?""Of course, Tristan. Now, be good and go play upstairs for a while. Daddy will be back to accompany you soon," Vivienne replied."Okay, I'll wait for Daddy to come back upstairs," Tristan said as he toddled upstairs.After seeing her son go upstairs happily, Vivienne picked up her phone again, slid her finger across the screen, and made a call. "Hello, it's me.""Ms. Kerrigan?" An uncertain male voice sounded from the othe

Originally, Sophie intended to drop Jeanna off at her apartment first, but Jeanna insisted on checking the progress of the design assistants at the company beforehand.Reluctantly, Sophie drove to the company.Upon entering the elevator, Linda approached them with a somewhat solemn expression. "Ms. Luxford, Carlson Group is calling for an emergency shareholders meeting and requesting your presence.""Now?" Sophie was taken aback. Even in the event of an emergency shareholders meeting, shareholders should be given some time to prepare. Why was it so urgent?"Yes, it might be related to our orders. I'll accompany you," Linda suggested.Sophie's brows furrowed at Linda's response. She glanced at Jeanna beside her and shook her head. "Wait until she finishes her work at the design department. Then, take her back to the apartment."Linda attempted to advise further, "But—""No buts." Sophie immediately interrupted Jeanna, knowing exactly what she wanted to say. She had prepared herse
