The woman's fierce scream jolted Jacqueline, and she sprinted ahead, ignoring everything else.Yet, this woman possessed terrifying strength. Her eight-centimeter heels didn't hinder her—she quickly caught up to Jacqueline, firmly grabbing her wrist.In the commotion, Jacqueline's work badge became visible."Hah! So you're Jacqueline!" The woman's voice boomed, her charisma overwhelming. "No wonder you're trembling like a mouse facing a cat!""N-No…""You deceitful woman! How dare you seduce my husband? I'm going to teach you a lesson!"They caused a scene in the lobby. Jacqueline's cries and the woman's accusations echoed.It was during working hours, so the security guards arrived swiftly. However, they hesitated to intervene. Onlookers gathered, reveling in the drama.Renee frowned, wanting no part in this trouble. She discreetly slipped away."Let me go— Ahh!"The woman was forceful, beating up Jacqueline. Colleagues who had once been close now seemed like strangers. No

Jacqueline's head was pounding, and her eyes widened as she felt her cheeks grow warm. She struggled to find her voice but couldn't utter a word."You..." She pointed at Lena.Lena slapped her hand away.Jacqueline shrieked and charged at Lena, who turned around and quickly restrained her by placing her arms behind her back.Kasey stood dumbfounded for a moment but then acted swiftly. While Lena held Jacqueline, Kasey slapped the latter's cheeks."Enough, both of you," Lena said in her deep voice. "Jacqueline, you represent the sales department. Don't disgrace it."Despite her words, Lena didn't release her grip on Jacqueline.Kasey raised an eyebrow and slapped Jacqueline two more times."I said stop. Can't you both understand?" Lena frowned. "Are you still at it? Ms. Thompson is upstairs! Do you want to alert her?"Kasey struggled to stifle her laughter, her palms red from slapping Jacqueline."Alright, that's enough..."I said stop!"Kasey had almost vented all her anger

Lena gazed at them and recalled what Jade had said. Could it be true? Perhaps there was truly nothing between Elijah and Jacquelin, and Kasey had simply misunderstood?"Should I give you credit for my wife's victory?" he quipped, catching Lena off guard. She met his intense gaze as he tilted her head.Just as she was about to explain, Kasey stormed off in anger. Elijah followed her, but not before glancing at Lena fiercely.She stood there momentarily, her thoughts racing.Did she somehow offend Elijah today?Yet, he held a higher position within the company while she was just a regular staff member. Their paths should not cross in the future.Breathing a sigh of relief, Lena made her way to her office.-Arya visited the Hamertons to deliver the revised comic she had assisted Toph with.His eyes lit up after feeling down for a few days.She handed him the draft with a smile. The storyline and the characters had been refined."Wow, Arya!" Toph exclaimed. "You're a master o
Married a Secret Billionaire Chapter 1405
Toph gazed at Arya, utterly astonished.Renee had never uttered such words to him. When they were close, he was the one showering her with compliments. Now that they had drifted apart—apart from urging him to fight for his inheritance against Zuko and criticizing his drawings as having no future—she remained silent.A sharp pain pierced his heart when he heard Arya's words, causing his eyes to well up with tears."Hey!" Arya was taken aback and quickly comforted him. "What's wrong? It's alright!""I'm okay." He sniffled. "I'm just so happy... Your approval means the world to me!""I'm actually quite lonely at home," he confessed. "My parents don't understand art. While my brother appreciates it, art is just a hobby for him, not a career. My grandma is an artist, but she lives in Southeast Aciatic. It's far away, and I can't always talk to her."Now that I have the opportunity to create comics, I..." He became emotional as he spoke, only managing to regain his composure after a wh

"Huh?" Cordelia was perplexed.Zephyr elaborated, "He hasn't smiled for a few days. Isn't that enough hardship?"At that moment, laughter echoed from the living room. Toph and Arya were brimming with joy over their freshly drawn comic, so they shared a high-five to celebrate.Wendy served the food, urging them to dig in.Toph settled at the table and eagerly grasped a pork rib, wasting no time in devouring it. It had been days since his last proper meal, and his hunger was evident.Cordelia felt a wave of relief wash over her as she witnessed her son's happiness. Her mood lifted considerably.Zephyr grinned. "Darling, shouldn't we join them?""Oh, please!" She glanced at him. "We'll dine in the other room!"He pouted, harboring more words but choosing to keep them to himself. Cordelia's phone suddenly vibrated as they made their way to the adjacent room.Linda's panicked voice came through as soon as Cordelia answered, "Cordelia... Are you all at home?""What's wrong?""I-I'

"It's my fault. It's all my fault!" Toph cried out. "I'm the one who pushed her to do this... I didn't apologize or resolve our conflict. Instead, I pushed her to this point..."Mom, I'm the reason Renee tried to take her own life! I messed up!"He raised his arm, intending to hit himself, but Zephyr tightly gripped his wrist before he could."Calm down!" Zephyr growled. "You're a man, look at yourself!""Dad..."Nicholas also tried to console him. "Toph, you're gentle and kind. That's why you try to shoulder all the blame. But you're not truly at fault. So, please, stop blaming yourself."Toph stood there with teary eyes, and Cordelia felt a deep sadness seeing him like that.Meanwhile, she had an inkling of what was going on. It seemed that Renee had captured all of Toph's attention with this incident.Zennie was part of the emergency team and soon emerged from the emergency room."Don't worry," she said calmly. "We managed to save her in time. Her life is no longer in dange

Lina felt anxious. Zuko wanted to shield their baby from the incident, so he had forbidden her from visiting Renee at the hospital. To keep her occupied, he had even invited Lena over.Naturally, Lena eagerly agreed to accompany her friend. To her, Renee's suicide attempt was like a ripple on a calm lake—shocking at first, but the shock soon subsided. She couldn't believe Renee genuinely wanted to end her life.Lena speculated that Renee's actions were meant to get Toph's attention. After all, Renee hadn't achieved her goals yet. Wouldn't it be a waste for her to die like this?-Lena brought the homemade chicken soup to the office, planning to deliver it to Lina during lunch.However, a colleague from another department stopped her. "You're Lena from the sales department, right?"Lena was taken aback.The colleague smiled and said, "I'm Mr. Chriss' secretary. He wants to see you in his office. Come with me!"Lena clenched her fists, her heart racing.Elijah's office was below

The girl was cute and innocent, her cheeks rosy. Her eyes had a joyful sparkle.When she entered like an angel, Lena felt like she was looking at her younger self. However, Lena didn't have as wonderful a childhood as this child. She was never as neat and pretty. As a kid, she was always dirty, wearing oversized clothes and messy braids. Other children would often bully her, saying nobody wanted her.Lena often dreamt of having a doll like all the other girls in her youth.Her heart squeezed, and she turned away, expressionless.Kasey called out to her, "Hey, you are here too? Skipping lunch to work during the break?"Before she could respond, Elijah's cold voice cut in. "Do you think everyone has as much free time as you do?"Kasey's expression changed, and she swallowed her words.But Elijah didn't care and continued to taunt her. "What are you up to today? Bringing my daughter to watch me?"Kasey, Nala bears my last name. Don't set a bad example for her!""You..." Kasey's f

"Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her... Then, Morpheus' strong arms wrapped around her slender waist. She drowsily opened her eyes to find him sealing her lips with heated kisses.Over the year, his kissing skills had improved, and Persepho

With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

"You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

"No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

"Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

"No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
