Cedric felt an intense urge to silence Lincoln with a slap across the face.

Lincoln simply couldn't gather his thoughts enough to form a coherent sentence. His words only seemed to add more chaos to the situation since Faye's arrival.

With an exasperated look, Cedric sent a stern glare Lincoln's way. Finally, as Lincoln nervously quieted down, Cedric cleared his throat and addressed Faye, "I thought you were there for an interview ..."

A sudden realization dawned on Lincoln, and he pointed at Priscilla, who was attempting to stand. "Wait, so the person I was meant to look after was actually Ms. Fischer?"

"Oh, I see ... Haha ..." Lincoln snapped back to reality, nodding repeatedly to himself while laughing at how foolish he had been.

He was supposed to take care of Faye under Cedric's instruction—though she didn't really need his help.

However, the problem was that he mistook Faye for another woman. To make matters even more amusing, Cedric didn't even know that his wife was th

    Faye burst into laughter. Despite being trapped against the wall, she kept her head high and showed no weakness at all. "That was a good joke, Mr. Lynch," Faye said with a laugh. "I've laughed, and now, well—" Her words implied that she regarded his words as trivial nonsense and made it clear that she wouldn't tolerate further persistence.Nick's expression darkened. He had revealed his identity, yet Faye didn't seem to be fazed at all—let alone respect him. People formed a queue to fawn over him in Jeorgia.During his school days, when his father hadn't yet held the second-in-command position, numerous people sought to curry favor with him. However, after his father's confirmation as the next second-in-command, nobody dared to show disrespect toward Nick. Everywhere he went, compliments and flattery followed.Even though Faye was impressive, she was merely a designer. Even if she was the chief designer of a multinational corporation, it didn't matter.

    Behind the group of fighters was a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt. He carefully helped Nick up as he spoke angrily, "Mr. Lynch, who dares to lay a hand on you in my territory? Who was it? I swear I'll break his legs!""It's them!" Nick glared at Faye and Cedric. "Beat this man to death for me, and as for this woman ..."With a lewd expression, he licked his lips and commanded, "Capture her and bring her upstairs to my room. Faye, I gave you a chance, but you didn't appreciate it. Don't blame me for not being gentle with you now!" Nick turned to the man beside him and said, "Go find a few strong men for me. After I've had my fun with her tonight, they can teach this disobedient woman a lesson. Show her what it means to cross me.""Yes, Mr. Lynch. Don't worry. Anyone who lays hands on you in my territory is asking for trouble!" The man waved his hand. "What are you all waiting for? Get moving!"The towering fighters who stood waiting behind the man swarmed Cedric on c

    "Faye, are you alright?" Lucy and a few friends were having a great time in the private room when they were startled by the commotion outside.They rushed out to find Faye and Cedric standing, with Nick on the other side—covered in bruises. As Nick was being taken away, Lucy stumbled over to Faye in concern. She had too much to drink and was beginning to feel dizzy, making it hard for her to balance herself.Faye frowned and supported her. "I'm fine. Why did you drink so much?"Leaning on Faye, Lucy slurred her words. "Today's a special day. I was happy. Did Nick bother you?"Though she didn't know what happened, she could tell that Cedric had beaten Nick, and the only reason that would drive Cedric to resort to violence was Faye. Faye slipped a pill into Lucy's mouth. "He's no match for me. You, on the other hand, should stop drinking. You can have fun, I won't be taking you home if you get too drunk."A refreshing taste spread in Lucy's mouth, and she instantly felt more sob

    In the meantime, after being brought to the police station, Nick continued to raise his voice, demanding to see the chief.Upon learning that Nick was a member of the Lynch family, the chief hastily arrived at the scene. He listened to Nick's account and made an effort to calm him down before instructing his subordinates to initiate an investigation into Cedric.Coincidentally, Manager Josling, who had resolved matters at the bar, rushed to the police station. He overheard the chief's intention to apprehend Cedric and promptly intervened. "Chief Waymark, I strongly recommend that you refrain from getting involved in this."Chief Waymark glanced at him and asked, "What do you mean?"Manager Josling leaned in and whispered a few words into Chief Waymark's ear. The expression on Chief Waymark's face immediately changed. "Are you sure?"Manager Josling nodded. "Of course, I wouldn't joke about such matters. Just remember not to casually share what I've told you, or we'll both face dir

    "Don't touch me!" The moment Frank grabbed her arm, Lucy instinctively pushed him away and took a few steps back, glaring at him. "I only believe what I see!"The more she looked at the panicked look on his face, the more repulsed she became. She hadn't expected Frank to do such a thing, after repeatedly using work as an excuse not to celebrate her birthday and promising her a surprise.It had become evident that he had been wearing a mask all those years when they were together.Perhaps he had agreed to marry her just to please his family, or maybe he regarded her as an easy target—someone he could wed and then carry on with his life as he saw fit. He wanted to keep up the façade at home while sleeping around outside. There was no way Lucy was going to let this slide.Her only consolation was that they hadn't been intimate in their relationship. Had they been more involved, she might have been even more disgusted by the sight. Since they grew up together, she considered

    Faye didn't drink, so she drove while Cedric sat in the passenger seat, resting his chin on his hand as he stared at her.Faye felt shy and sneaked a glance at him. "Am I really that good-looking?"Cedric's lips curled into a seductive smile. "Yes, you are."At a loss for her words, Faye changed the subject, as they might not make it home safely if Cedric continued to seduce her. "How much do you know about the Lynch family?"Cedric raised an eyebrow. "What do you want to know?"Though Faye had been with Anthon in the past, her knowledge of the Lynch family was limited to Anthon's immediate family. The Lynch family was a prominent political figure, but she didn't know much about the specifics. However, she needed to gather some information about what happened earlier. "I don't know much apart from their history in politics," she said. "I heard that their family is highly influential in Eagle City, but I'm not sure about the extent of their influence here in Jeorgia."Cedric c

    Early the next morning, Faye arrived at the company and was handed the document regarding Priscilla. She quickly scanned through it, and she narrowed her eyes when she saw the word "blacklisted". Then she swiftly signed her name on it."Tell Mr. Colt to come find me when he arrives at the office," Faye said and handed the document back to Jamie.Jamie nodded and left while Faye continued to work on her tasks.Her phone displayed news about Allure Designs and Cameron, and Faye casually opened the article, feeling repulsed by Allure Designs' claims of innocence.

The evidence included proof of Allure Designs' misconduct over the years, along with conversation history between Cameron and Allure Designs, the transaction records of his commission, and the threats Allure Designs directed at him.Allure Designs had been taking credit for designs and using the original designs to sell counterfeit p

    Lincoln returned to his office and called for the managers for the PR and design departments. Once everything was arranged, it was time for lunch. He didn't have an appetite, so he returned to his room to rest instead of going to the canteen. However, memories of what happened the night before kept him awake. Last night, he could clearly tell that he was drugged. After knocking out the man who dragged Lucy, he placed the man in the room he reserved for himself. Since he was drugged, whoever did it must have a plan and would surely send a woman to his room. He got the manager to set up a camera in the room before returning to Lucy's room. Once he made sure that Lucy was fine, he planned to leave so that she could rest. To his bewilderment, Lucy had been drugged as well. Just as he was about to leave, she started tearing at her clothes on the bed, panting. Lincoln was slowly losing control. He was supposed to leave but couldn't get himself to move when he saw Lucy on

    Faye had made arrangements for Jeorgia, while Cedric started an investigation into what the Anderson and Garcia families were doing. Faye knew that this was a trap and that nothing happened by coincidence. However, she didn't know what the culprit's motive was. She didn't have to wait for long because she received a phone call from Tracy later that afternoon. "Faye, you could've come at me if you were upset. Why did you target Grandma? She treated you well, yet you killed her over such trivial matters. Are you even human?"Faye smirked. "Since when do you care about her, Tracy?""What are you talking about? That's our grandmother. You did this, didn't you?""Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it?" Faye sneered. "Don't think that you can do anything you want just because you married someone rich. Faye, don't even dream of getting your murderer of a mother out! I won't let you. You better come back to Jeorgia, or this won't ever be over."With that, Tracy hung up.

    Clark's words only enraged Flora. Eleanor abused Faye when she was a child, which led to Faye getting sick repeatedly. She even allowed Lizzie to go into their home to poison Faye while Flora was at work. Faye suffered through so much hardship at the time and came close to dying. She was already poisoned when she was pregnant with Faye, which meant Faye was born with poison in her body. Though Flora tried her best to counter the poison, Faye was still more frail than ordinary children. Eleanor knew that Faye wasn't Clint's child, so she had always been displeased with her. "Had I known that she's the kind of person who can harm a child, I would never leave Faye with her." Rage filled Flora's eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Eleanor started coughing on the bed. Clark shouted and ran outside to get the doctor. Until the doctor arrived, there were two minutes when Flora was alone with Eleanor. It wasn't until the doctor arrived that Flora found out Clark didn't even

    Lizzie and Clint were momentarily stunned, confused by Tracy's words. "I just received a call from Uncle. He said that Grandma passed away and we need to go home."Clint jolted and collapsed onto the ground. "What?"Tracy smirked. "They can't reach you or Mom, so he called me instead. We need to go home right now.""Ha! So what if she's dead? She doesn't see us as family, so why should we go back?" Lizzie scoffed in contempt. Eleanor disliked her right from the start. If Eleanor didn't stop her from marrying Clint at the very beginning, Flora would have never gotten married to Clint. Though Eleanor helped get rid of Flora in the end, she continued to mistreat Lizzie when she finally married Clint. Eleanor resented Flora for being too strong-willed and disrespectful. However, she looked down on Lizzie for not being as talented as Flora and incapable of bringing more profit to the Brown family. She kept comparing Lizzie to Flora and bossed her around. Lizzie remained patie
