Jason's distrust was the last straw. All the excitement she felt when she found out that she was pregnant had now turned into despair. She didn't remember how she returned, moving through the motions like a living corpse.To make matters worse, she returned home to find swarms of reporters charging at her. The flashlights blinded her and the reporters' questions stung her. She had thought that she had become strong and fearless. She assumed that she could face any challenge after coming this far with her hard work. However, when reporters shot baseless accusations at her, she realized she couldn't withstand it after all. Amid the chaos, someone shoved her, and she collapsed onto the ground. A sharp pain pierced through her stomach and she snapped out of it. Covering her stomach, she looked around frantically. She thought to herself, "My child. No, no way …" When she first learned that it was Jason's child, she was over the moon. However, when Jason humiliated her and
Tossing aside the documents, Jason stormed out the door and rushed to Avery's apartment building. The investigation had brought back a lot of memories. His love for Avery had all turned into pain and misery when the incident took place. He thought that he had forgotten about her, but realized at this moment that she had never left his mind. As he frequently ran into Avery, he fell deeper into distress. He didn't want to let her slip away. When he heard that she was dating another man, he would get frustrated. When she humiliated him, he would feel ashamed and would want to show her the best of him. Wherever she went, he wanted to follow. He wished for her to see him as the person she originally fell in love with.Whenever she mocked him, he would recall how he used to humiliate her. He knew that this was karma for what he did to Avery. Hence, he didn't try to explain himself. There were times when he wondered if what happened was just a misunderstanding. However, o
Getting along? Impossible. "Who's getting along with him?""Who's getting along with her?"Lucy and Lincoln blurted out at the same time. They then glared at one another and looked away in a huff. Faye covered her mouth and chuckled. The way they mirrored each other was proof enough to Faye that they were getting along. Not wanting to waste her time teasing them, she grabbed Lucy's arm and changed the subject. Lucy came to Jorn City for training whereas Lincoln came to handle the collaboration with Cameron. After all, the winter launch was approaching and Light Moon Designs was in the midst of preparation. Faye and Cameron were both in Jorn City. Neither of them had time to go to Jeorgia, so Lincoln could only make the trip to Jorn City himself.However, Faye focused on chatting with Lucy and paid him no attention, so he felt slightly upset. As he had expected, Faye didn't care about him at all. "Mr. Colt, it's been some time since you returned to Jorn City. Will you
Monica's bluntness left Faye and Lucy chuckling in the next room. They had heard that Ethan's wife was a formidable woman, but she exceeded all their expectations. Her presence was dominating and Faye was thoroughly impressed. Feeling humiliated, Ethan's expression darkened and he shoved Monica away. "Monica, are you even a lady? What happened to your manners? Listen to what you're saying."Monica crossed her arms. "Why don't you look at what you're doing first? Ethan, do you take me for someone you can bully?""Don't think I'm afraid of you," Ethan said as he glared at Monica. "This is just a political marriage and we weren't supposed to interfere with each other's private lives. Who are you to control me?""Just because we can have our own lives, doesn't mean I should tolerate being cheated on. Do you think that just because we aren't in love, you can have your fun outside? Does that mean I can have a lover as well?"Her words enraged him. "I'm sure you've been dying to
"Nonsense, Tracy," Ethan said as he turned his head. Glancing at Tracy, who looked frail and helpless, his gaze softened."You're my woman. How could I let you endure harm?"Monica clapped her hands and laughed. "Here I thought no one else could make you show such an affectionate look other than that woman from back then. How surprising ..." She took a deep breath. "Since you love her so much, why not sign this agreement? What's wrong? Are you scared? Haven't you always wanted to get rid of me?" A vicious scowl formed on Ethan's face. "A malicious woman like you doesn't deserve my love."Monica shrugged. "Why are you hesitating then?"In fact, Monica knew exactly why Ethan was hesitant.The Garcia family was facing tremendous turmoil.Due to the failure of the cruise banquet, the Garcia family's clever scheme backfired and they had offended many influential figures. The Garcia family was now a target of scorn and faced unprecedented losses in the past few days. If thi
Tracy was just caught in bed with Ethan. The chaos at home deepened her frustration and upon hearing what Clark said, her face twisted with anger. "Uncle, where did you hear that from? Mr. Garcia? I'm single right now."Had the event not taken place earlier, she would have shown off how much Ethan cared about her. However, she was just in a confrontation with Monica and didn't know what would happen next. She had witnessed how cruel the elite community could be. Ethan married Monica for his own gain and with the Garcia family in trouble, he wouldn't possibly agree to divorce her. As Monica said, she had no reason to keep Ethan around if the divorce would only lead to the Garcia family's downfall. Tracy wasn't in love with Ethan, but with his power and assets. Without those, he meant nothing to her. Tracy gritted her teeth. Initially, she thought that she'd secure a luxurious life once she won Ethan over. Even if she was kept as a mistress, she wouldn't have to worr
Tracy and Lizzie wanted to turn their attention toward Faye. After all, Faye was living the best life while they were suffering. To their bewilderment, Eleanor and the others seemed to have transformed into completely different people. Not only did they not want to bother Faye, but they were also accusing Tracy and Clint instead. What was happening?In recent times, Clint and Lizzie had been so annoyed by Eleanor that they rarely answered her calls. Hence, they didn't know what Faye and Cedric did in Jeorgia. When Eleanor called last time, she only mentioned that Faye had sent them to the police station. However, considering their personalities, it seemed normal for the trio to get sent to the station. Clint desperately wanted to get rid of his mother and brother, so he didn't enquire further. Facing such an unexpected confrontation, Clint, Lizzie, and Tracy were stunned. "W-What do you mean?" Tracy shouted, her expression malicious. Did they change their ways? That
Faye learned about the Brown family being taken to the police station the following morning. Just as she got up, she received a call from the police station informing her that her relatives had been detained due to a brawl. She was urged to head over to mediate the fight. Faye smiled. "I'm sorry, but they are not my relatives. Please handle it according to the law." After hanging up, she looked at Cedric, who was waiting for breakfast. She hugged him from behind and said with a smile, "Guess what interesting scene I witnessed last night?"Cedric turned his head to study the triumphant look on her face. He smiled. "Why don't you tell me?""Ethan and Tracy were caught in bed together. Didn't you know?""I knew." He pinched her face. "I was the one who asked Monica to go over."Faye rolled her eyes and pouted, losing her interest in the matter. "Why are you asking me if you already knew everything?""You saw it with your own eyes, and I'm just guessing. I prefer to hear it from
