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

Sophie tightened her grip on the photos."The issues facing Carlson Group's projects have nothing to do with me," she asserted.The shareholder, who had been questioning Sophie from the beginning, slammed the table. "I knew you wouldn't admit it! Let him in!"Within minutes, the conference room door was pushed open again, and a man wearing thick glasses entered with his head lowered, too nervous to raise it."Ms. Luxford, this is Johnny, the assistant to Mr. Chase, the manager of the project department. You should know him, shouldn't you?" the shareholder introduced mockingly.Although Sophie did not recognize Johnny, she noticed his glances toward her. Her heart sank, but she managed a cold smirk. "Do you really think anyone present would believe me if I say I don't know him?"Sophie understood that the shareholders were determined to twist the truth today. She felt isolated and unsupported.Her gaze shifted toward a certain spot in the room, but she retracted it at the last mo

'Today's baseless siege, is it led by the other shareholders or by him?' Sophie could not get to the bottom of the matter."Is there a problem?" Cedric's question interrupted her silence, prompting a slight shift in his posture. The once authoritative figure now emanated a more sinister aura, his gaze scanning the room before settling on Sophie's slender frame.Although emotions flickered in his eyes, they ultimately settled on cold indifference. "If there's nothing else, you may leave now."Sophie endured his mocking and contemptuous gaze, feeling increasingly uncomfortable in her stomach. However, every single fiber of her being fought to maintain a normal expression on her face while her forbearing gaze landed on Cedric's face."How about I return all the shares I own in Carlson Group to you? So that there won't be any more hiccups in the future." Sophie pulled out the divorce papers and equity transfer agreement from her bag, which her lawyer had long prepared.Her smile carri

"That's right. You have a son with Cedric. Now, I have one in my womb, too. You might not be aware of it yet, but Grandpa has mentioned more than once that the great-grandson of the Carlsons must come out of me!" Sophie said mockingly."Speaking of which, I'm really worried about your son, too. He's such a cute kid but still doesn't understand what it means to be an illegitimate child. However, as he grows up, he'll have to endure being pointed at and badmouthed about by others. His innocence will be shattered by the idle gossip of others early on. I really pity him."As Sophie spoke, a sudden change of tone occurred, and her gaze became more domineering. "If you want the Mrs. Carlson position so badly, go ahead and try to snatch it from me if you really have the ability. But let me warn you, don't mess with anything else that's unrelated to this matter. Otherwise, I won't spare you and your son. I advise you to be more careful!"Despite Sophie's typically willful nature, she allowe
