last update Last Updated: 2023-05-08 11:25:59
Zoey believed she was only there to be Laurence’s eye candy.

The dean had no idea about the black mark on Zoey’s academic record. After learning from Laurence that his wife was a former student in the school of design, the dean called the head of the design school over to exchange pleasantries.

The school head still remembered Zoey. He was caught in the moment, staring at her face that had not aged one bit. The school head was in for another surprise when he moved his gaze to Laurence.

There was a reason why the school head retained a memory of Zoey despite the influx of students in the school every year. There were few plagiarism cases, to begin with, but hers took the cake.

Enrolling in the college wasn’t easy. After all, everybody wanted to get into the top college in Northwell. Most students who were admitted to the college were the best of the best, excelling in knowledge and character. Of course, there was still a possibility that a small number of unethical individuals w

    Sarah was filled with rage as Zoey’s comment struck a nerve. Her father was involved in a murder case, and the media made a big fuss about whether Sarah would try to cut ties with him. Although her friends said nothing, they seemed to steer clear of her. Sarah could not be as ruthless as her mother. If she were in her mother’s shoes, Sarah could not ditch her husband in a moment of need, especially when he had been arrested and charged with murder. She had always been Dad’s favorite. At least, she had always been the apple of Dad’s eye before the bitch’s son had come along. Sarah had been conflicted since her father’s arrest. They had been father and daughter for many years, and she could get upset and cry at the possibility her dad might get the death penalty. Still, when her newborn brother came to mind, she resented him. It wasn’t like her father’s case didn’t impact her life. Why did her father leave something that traced back to him? “My mom and I have no idea what my

    Sarah lost the belief she’d had since high school that she could fool Laurence forever. He would never know the truth. She began to lose herself to anxiety and fear as he grew distant from her. Zoey and Laurence were bound to run into each other since they were in the same college. Sarah had the idea to kick Zoey out of school before she could meet him. Sarah came up with a way to crush Zoey’s dreams and ruin her reputation all at once. “You carry too much hate toward her,” Laurence’s voice reeled Sarah back from her memories. She met the man’s profound but questioning eyes. “The intensity of your hatred goes beyond a mere dislike.” Sarah freaked out. She forced a smile, pretending everything was fine. “You spoiled me rotten then, and I did whatever I wanted without considering the consequences of my actions.” Laurence saw right through her. It wasn’t as if Sarah did not consider the consequences. She was hell-bent on getting Zoey expelled. Sarah was destroying Zoey’s future

    "I wasn't the one who said that! Why are you getting angry?""I'm not.""I'm starting to find you're very stubborn, Laurence." Zoey felt like her wrist was just short of being snapped from the sheer force of his grip, but still, he denied he was angry. Laurence lifted his brows and said, "I just find them ridiculous, the bunch of rascals."Forcing his words through clenched teeth, he continued, "Very popular among the boys, aren't we? If I hadn't come over, would you have exchanged contacts with him?""So what if we had exchanged numbers?""Please remember that you have a husband! You're not allowed to just give your number out to random strangers!" Laurence exclaimed exasperatedly, anger palpable in his tightly furrowed brows.He suddenly recalled the first boy Zoey had dated. Hadn't he been a dopey college student too? All college boys seemed like dimwits to him. A frosty countenance came over Laurence as cold air emanated off of him. His grip on Zoey's wrist was still strong. Any

    Sarah rushed into the elevator and got off on the ground floor. All of a sudden, she stopped in her tracks. After a moment's thought, she doubled back to the room she had been in. She wasn't going to take all that without making them pay for it.The room was a mess. She took off her jacket and glanced at her wristwatch. It was 6 pm. She had a lot of time to spare.Two hours later, Sarah looked out the window and watched as the sky outside gradually darkened. She had managed to calm herself down from the incident. Taking her phone out composedly, she didn’t call Laurence. Instead, she dialled Matthew's number. She tried to sound frail and feeble and forced out with a choked voice, "Mr. Lowell, can you please come and pick me up from the hotel?" Her breath was so weak that it sounded like she had been through a terrible blow. "And please bring me a fresh set of clothes."Matthew could tell from the way she was speaking that something was off. "Are you alright, Miss Jenner?"Sarah simply

    Shawn was in no hurry to sign the agreement. Somehow, the calm and collected man didn't seem so calm and collected in Zoey's presence. No matter how hard it was for him to face her, the time had come for him to do so, and there was no escaping that. It wasn't that he didn't want to see her; he hadn’t had the courage to do so. He swallowed dryly and spoke, carrying a cautious undertone in his words, "Have you had breakfast?"Zoey's brows knitted up. She looked up at Shawn's pale face and felt like she had imagined the cautiousness in his voice. She snapped out of it and said, "I didn't know that Porters belonged to you. Can we please sign the agreement that was agreed upon prior? I wish to keep things professional." All she wanted was to get things done and leave there as soon as possible. Porters was a small company, and Shawn usually did not bother himself with its affairs. The most he did was glance through the annual report. If he hadn’t known Zoey would show up that day, he would

    On their way home, Laurence chatted about the latest news.Zoey tended to get drowsy whenever she traveled in a car, especially during rush hour when even the overpasses were gridlocked. Listening to Laurence's cold voice, Zoey unknowingly fell asleep while leaning against the pillow behind her waist.She couldn't remember when it had started, but there were always two pillows on the seat of Laurence's car: a waist pillow and a headrest. They were comfortable to lean against and could help relieve fatigue.Laurence gradually stopped talking and patiently waited for the traffic to move. His gaze unconsciously drifted towards her. With her head tilted and leaning against the window, Zoey slept quietly. Her flushed face made her look much healthier.Laurence couldn't resist reaching out and gently pinching her face. His fingers lingered on her soft cheeks, and he indulged in the moment. Deep asleep, Zoey was unaware of his actions. Laurence chuckled softly, not even realizing how doti

    Zoey began to doubt her ears. Feeling a lump in her chest, she struggled to contain her emotions and refrained from confronting the man before her. She found his words baffling and confusing. She simply didn't understand.What was Laurence up to? He always had motives behind everything he did, either for personal gain or emotional needs. He wouldn't casually mention wanting a child without a purpose.However, she no longer cared. She found it absurd and even slightly amusing.She remembered the time when Laurence sat before her, his face cold and his tone detached as he carefully explained the terrifying consequences of bringing a child into a loveless marriage based solely on physical desire. He had said those words himself. How could he have forgotten them so easily?"I've already said I don't want to." Zoey managed to hold back her temper. She couldn't understand why she felt so irritated. It was as if Laurence was adding fuel to the fire with his offer.Laurence was expecting

    Laurence thought things would change if he and Zoey had a child. Perhaps they could have a stable relationship like Ryan and Sissy, where they no longer harbored mutual hatred.However, Zoey's resolute rejection didn't seem like an act. She genuinely wanted nothing to do with him, not in the slightest. Even at the mention of wanting a child, her brow instinctively furrowed as if she couldn't despise the idea any more than she already did. She could no longer tolerate him.Feeling lost, Laurence silently clenched his fist. He could come up with more despicable and shameless methods, but he didn't want to keep resorting to threats. That wasn't his intention.For the first time, Laurence realized that trying to hold on to someone could leave him helpless. As the two of them stood in silent confrontation, Mrs. Scott knocked on the door. Zoey seized the opportunity to push past Laurence and hastily straightened her rumpled clothes.

    Ryan had a reason for barging into the room. He thought he had seen something he shouldn't have.He had witnessed Zoey's relationship with his brother over the past few years. He hadn't thought so many things would happen between them when they got married.In the end, Laurence fell for her.The high and mighty guy had willingly become the loser for that woman.Zoey could tell from Ryan's reaction that he had misunderstood. Without bothering to explain, she walked straight out of the office.Laurence ignored Ryan, too. He treated Ryan as if he didn't exist and strode out the door after Zoey. Ryan was left alone in the office, dumbfounded.Laurence's assistant greeted him politely. "Are you here for ..."Ryan was still in a daze. He snapped to his senses and said, "I'm here to see my brother!""Mr. Scott just left.""I saw that.""Then, is there anything else I can do for you?"Ryan turned around to leave but returned halfway.

    Zoey could feel the gazes on her as she stepped into the office. There were hardly any familiar faces left in the office.She secretly sighed in relief. She would have felt awkward and at a loss if she had to face the inquisitive gazes of acquaintances.Laurence held Zoey's hand, and she had no choice but to let him do as he pleased. She couldn't resist him.They entered Laurence's office. His office looked cold and plain, just like he was.Zoey noticed he was still grabbing her wrist. She took a deep breath and asked, "Where should I sit?"Perhaps surprised by her sudden cooperative attitude, Laurence raised an eyebrow. After a pause, he kindly reminded her, "The door is locked."Without a key, the door couldn't be opened from the inside.Zoey tried to pull her wrist away. "Got it."Laurence watched her sit on the sofa, and he relaxed slightly. He asked politely, "Would you like something to drink?"Zoey was momentarily lost in thought. She replied, "Warm water will do"Laur

  • Love in the dark   Chapter 755 Opening Up

    Zoey was composed. She didn't seem worried about Laurence investigating her past in Novarvia. But deep down, she wasn't confident.Laurence had long lost any moral boundaries. Despite knowing she was married, he showed no concern about interfering in her marriage. He would likely become even more audacious and unrestrained if he discovered that her marriage was fake.Just the thought of it gave Zoey a headache. She never thought getting rid of someone would be so difficult, even if they held a certain position of power. Shaking him off became increasingly challenging.Lost in her contemplation, Zoey failed to notice the driver had changed direction. When she finally realized, the car was parked at the entrance of the Scott Group.Zoey pondered briefly. She thought the driver was sending Laurence off. She waited patiently and remained seated in the car.The man beside her calmly looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you getting out?"Zoey furrowed her brows. "Why should I?"

    Sarah always seemed like she was thriving. Looking radiant, she hooked arms with the man beside her. She no longer looked as worn as she had a few months ago.Laurence was acquainted with the man beside her. His gaze was indifferent, showing neither surprise nor much emotion. Firmly grabbing Zoey's hands, Laurence wouldn't let her leave his side.Laurence had no intention of greeting Sarah or engaging with William. He held Zoey's hand, seemingly aware she didn't want to deal with them either. He turned his face to her and said, "Let's go."Zoey didn't refuse. They left quietly.This time, Sarah didn't stop Zoey. She usually tried provoking her.Once they were far away, Zoey immediately shook off Laurence's hand. He saw her furrowed brows and the undisguised disgust in her eyes. She must have hated Sarah a lot. She didn't even want to see her.Laurence explained, "I didn't know she would be here today."Zoey ignored him and walked ahead. The man behind her suddenly circled he

  • Love in the dark   Chapter 753 A Chance Encounter

    Zoey had no idea whether she was acting out of spite or being stubborn, but she arrived at the restaurant as promised. The restaurant had a private courtyard that offered great privacy. She didn't want to cause the person she was meeting any trouble. Neil's wife was once Zoey's client. Both parties were pleased with the business transaction. Zoey didn't like socializing, but she was out of alternatives. She forced herself to befriend Neil's wife. She had something to ask of Neil because her passport application had been dragging on without any progress. Zoey didn't want to lose control of her emotions again. She could still keep her cool if she stayed away from Laurence. To her surprise, Laurence had found out what she had been secretly up to. It was like he had installed a bug on her. She was horrified. "I've heard a lot of good things about you, Ms. Jenner." "You're too kind, Mr. Jackson." Neil was nicer than she expected. He didn't act superior or avoid the topic. Inst

    Zoey ended the phone call. Without having to ask, Zoey knew what was going on when she saw Laurence. Needless to say, Laurence had taken the liberty to take the morning off for her. She couldn't be bothered to be angry. Instead, she felt numb as it had happened too many times before. Zoey looked down at her changed pajamas and turned to the man by the bed. She asked, "Where are my clothes?" Laurence met her gaze. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. "They were in the wash. They are in the dryer now." Zoey lifted the bed covers and stepped onto the carpet. She made a beeline for the walk-in closet, which was filled with many clothes she hadn't taken with her when she'd left years ago. She picked an outfit and put it on. Laurence was still in the bedroom when she walked out of the walk-in closet. He put on his tie and looked over at her. She glanced at him and said, "You should've woken me up last night." Laurence approached her. He was tall and looked sharp in his suit, with

  • Love in the dark   Chapter 751 Morals

    Zoey was fast asleep. She thought she was dreaming when someone lifted her up. Her body clock over the last few days had been regular. She was going to bed early. Now, she couldn't keep her eyes open. Maybe she went back to sleep because she didn't sense any danger.Laurence hooked his arm behind Zoey's knees in a cradle and pulled her arm over his neck to secure her from falling. She mumbled in her sleep. He guessed that she was dreaming.Laurence couldn't hear what she was saying. He leaned in with his ear near her lips, but her mumbling stopped.The chauffeur, dedicated to his job, was on standby outside. Seeing his employer in the distance, he opened the door respectfully.Laurence carried Zoey into the car. The chauffeur closed the car door and glanced again at the woman in his employer's arms from the rear-view mirror. She looked familiar, but he didn't want to make any assumptions. "Where to, sir?" The chauffeur couldn't read his employer's mind, so he was careful not to

  • Love in the dark   Chapter 750 Possessive

    The bar wasn't too far from the restaurant. It was less than a ten-minute drive away. Laurence refused to let go of Zoey's wrist. He was bold to show off their closeness even though it was inappropriate. The others could hardly take their eyes off the couple. It was drama in the flesh. If they remembered correctly, Zoey had denied their relationship online two days before. She had even announced her marriage to someone else to set the record straight. What was going on? They had a hunch about the situation, judging by the resistance on Zoey's face. Maybe her ex-husband wouldn't leave her alone. The man seemed relentless in his pursuit. Nevertheless, it was not their business to get involved. At the end of the day, it was between Zoey and Laurence. Everybody quieted down and sobered up. The group caught a cab to the destination. Laurence shamelessly invited himself to join the group, and no one objected, not even politely. They weren't fools. They wouldn't offend the man for

    Zoey felt a tingling sensation along her ear. It felt as if she had been electrocuted. Laurence's tone was half-joking, but there was seriousness behind it. He was ready to tell on her to her husband the moment she nodded. Zoey had lost her patience with him a long time ago. She couldn't help but snap back every time. She looked up. Her face was small. She was about to tell him to get lost when the man took the chance to deepen the kiss. He squeezed her chin, forcing her to part her lips to let him in. Zoey was pinned against the wall. His scorching breath took hers away. She was trapped like prey in a snare. The more she struggled, the tighter his grip became.Laurence didn't stop with a brief kiss. He didn't give Zoey room to breathe, and she could feel her limbs going weak. Her tongue was going numb. The woman opened her mouth, gasping for air. She hung onto his collar to stop herself from going limp. The man was always greedy. He could never get enough of her. Zoey had
