David sighed, and she could hear the turmoil in his voice. "Nothing happened, Lyra. We just talked, and she helped me through a rough night. That's all." Relief washed over her, but she couldn't shake the nagging feeling that there was more to the story. She decided to let it go for now, knowing that they had more pressing matters to attend to. "Alright. I just needed to hear it from you. Let's focus on our work. Good luck with your presentation." "Thanks," he replied, his voice softer now. "I'll see you when I get back."

It was finally time. Lyra took a deep breath and straightened her shoulders as she prepared to make her entrance for the 'Morning Inspirations' interview.

Her makeup was flawless, having been skillfully applied to hide any signs of her sleepless night. A soft, warm-toned eyeshadow accentuated her eyes, while a hint of blush brought out her cheekbones. Her lips were painted a muted, rosy shade, the color both natural and alluring. Her hair was styled in soft, loose waves, cascading over her shoulders an

Mark leaned in, a sly grin on his face. "Whoever marries into the Hamilton family would be a blessed man. Our families are wealthy, but nobody can compare to the Hamiltons. Well, one family can, but they kicked their son out." "You mean the Duncans? I heard their son left on his own when he was 18," David inquired, his voice icy and controlled. "Anyway," Mark continued with a hint of sarcasm, "your personal taste has certainly improved. From your fragile ex-wife, the servant's adopted daughter, to a billionaire heiress." David's cold gaze sent a shiver down Mark's spine as he clenched his jaw at the mention of his ex-wife. He took another sip of the neat whiskey to maintain his composure. "I'd rather you not mention Kate's name." Mark raised his hands in surrender, unnerved by David's steely demeanor. "Fine. In our circle, nobody liked her anyway." David's frosty eyes seemed to pierce Mark’s very soul. He suspected that Kate had been rejected by his friends due to her low status,

Women whispered enviously about his closeness with Sienna, wondering how she had managed to catch his attention when he had never been publicly linked to a woman before.

They were determined to put their wicked plan into motion, but seeing Sienna with Jaxon added an extra layer of motivation for Scarlett. She had harbored a crush on Jaxon for years, and it was incomprehensible to her that he would show interest in Sienna. ‘Why is she the center of anyone’s attention? She is not even that beautiful.

Suddenly, Scarlett upgraded Jaxon from a long-time crush to the love of her life."Well, well, well," she sneered, her eyes flicking back and forth between the two of them. "Isn't this a cozy little arrangement?"Sienna arched an eyebrow, her icy gaze meeting Scarlett's challenge. "What's it to you? We're both consenting adults, and our living arrangements are none of your business."Eric's face twisted into a smug grin. "Oh, I'm sure the press will be interested to hear about this little development."Jaxon stepped forward, his voice laced with disdain. "You two really have nothing better to do than meddle in other people's lives, do you? Pathetic."Scarlett's face flushed red with anger, but she quickly regained her composure, her eyes narrowing. "You think you're so clever, don't you? Just wait until everyone finds out about this. You won't be so smug then."Sienna regarded her coolly, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "You underestimate me. Go ahead and tell whoever you like.
