The entire team fell silent, their voices extinguished in an instant.

The CEO was furious. He had indeed given her the card himself—he was indeed her husband. And those fools had imprisoned her. And they were now laughing? Unbelievable.

"Please, lead us to the cell," Lucas interjected calmly, preventing the Chief from further provoking his boss.

"Ye-yes. This way, please," the Chief stammered, beginning to lead the way to the suspect's cell.

Shawn's guards remained behind as he and Lucas followed the police officers.

In that moment, the Chief was convinced he had secured a promotion. He had apprehended the CEO's thief—could he be more fortunate?

Once he handed over the card, CEO Shawn would shower him with praise... Perhaps even give him his personal contact information, allowing him to ask for whatever he desired. He could even request a triple promotion. How marvelous!

    After Mia finished her warm bath, she longed to crawl into bed and rest her exhausted body. What an eventful day it had been.

It was already late into the night, so the maids had retired to their quarters. Mia let out a frustrated sigh as she stood alone in the empty dining room, pondering her options.

    "Is Shawn somehow connected to your decision to return home?"Yvonne averted her gaze immediately, maintaining a solemn silence.Stella's eyes widened in disbelief, her voice filled with shock and frustration. "Unbelievable! Are you crazy? Have you completely lost it? Did you forget why you were forced to live here in the first place? After all this time?" Her anger surged, making it impossible for her to contain her emotions any longer."You, girl, are trying to stir up trouble again, and I'm not going to allow it! I will not be a part of this!" Stella declared, rising abruptly from her seat and walking away.She couldn't believe that she had convinced her husband to bring them here for their wedding anniversary vacation just so her sister could spend time with her, only for Yvonne to start spewing nonsense as soon as they met. If she had known this would be the result, she wouldn't have come here with her family.Yvonne remained seated at the dining table, staring into space with a s

The entire class gasped at the shocking sight."Why is he hitting her?""What did she do this time?"If Mrs. Babington hadn't intervened quickly, Mia's father would have hit her again."Please, sir, let's not do this here," she pleaded.Barbara, who had been watching with a smug expression from the classroom door, hurriedly rushed to her husband's side and held his arm."Darling, it's true. Let's go to Mrs. Babington's office to resolve this. I know you disowned Mia for a reason, but this is too much. Let's just go," she urged, tugging at his arm.After glaring at Mia for a moment, t

    ***The CEO of Beats Corporation was in a foul mood all day.

    He then bowed several times, apologizing for the behavior of his men towards her moments ago. Then he led the way to his office.Thinking he had narrowly avoided trouble once again, the chief shook his head.Yesterday, he had been swarmed by mosquitoes, almost bitten to death while locked up in the cell with his subordinates. And when CEO Shawn's men finally released them, the chief could barely walk or speak. He was famished and weak, his body trembling from starvation.Only the heavens knew what would have happened to him today if he hadn't discovered in time that Mr. Arnold's daughter was the same girl from yesterday.

Without hesitation, he picked it up and noticed that the caller ID was unknown. He answered the call and brought the phone to his ear."Mia, I apologize. It's all my fault. Please, let's reconcile and go back to how we used to be."Upon hearing those words from the caller, Shawn's brows furrowed in irritation. Without uttering a word, he promptly ended the call.
